My friend posted this...at the bottom is says feel free to share and so I am sharing :) because these feelings resonate very strongly with me...too I feel awful about what we do to ourselves. It is puzzling    how sometimes it feels we are our own enemies. We dig very comfortable graves for ourselves and we willfully climb the steps down to our own doom sometimes I think we are suicidal. We commit murder on ourselves. That’s what it means to be suicidal. I feel awful about what others do to us. We claim to be very  hospitable people. Our borders are relatively open and people walk  through us and treat us with scorn. They rob us of our manhood and  render us impotent. We watch bad things happen to us, bad things  that spite us, bad things that ridicule us in the eyes of others, bad  things we copy from other people. I feel so awful about it that I  sometimes feel if I were in some position of power, I’ll have a  differ...

A couple of days ago, while getting ready for an event i ran into a problem...All my watches with the exception of 1 ( my iron man triathlon sports watch) had stopped working. Granted I have been aware of the  situation for the last couple of months years ...i'd made no effort to fix it. The lazy fiend in me always finds a way to justify purchasing a new watch instead of spending $5 on replacement batteries. And so as you'll have it, the very next day, I bought a new watch Unfortunately, this time around, my conscious went into over drive. It wouldn't let me enjoy my new watch in PEACE. After a lot of back and forth arguments with my self...which by the way made me look like a mad woman...I made a vow not to wear the new fossil watch until I had replaced the batteries in my older watches.

I recently came across this on the web. Sigh. Here we go again....I do wish Dove had some skinny models. I have a lot of size 0 friends..mind u am not a small or skinny...but i'v seen some of them do everything in the books including drinking up bottles of pediasure? to gain weight since most African men like some meat in their women :).....Sigh... As for Victoria Secret....need I even comment? There's a reason why they are modeling agencies who have to comb through the nooks & cranes of the world to find these women because the average woman does not look like this....and yes even for the ones that have healthy lifestyle habits....it is part of their jobs as models to maintain a certain size. Its part of what they get paid for. Their body is their JOB. So How do I feel  about this picture? I'm indifferent to it...because I am aware/educated on their reality of what these images represent. My biggest fear with the Real Women Have Cur...

What I've been up to lately when my face isnt 6ft deep in American College of Sports Medicine text books I took a quick gateway weekend trip to Atlanta: what can i say...a girl never forgets her first love I love this view of Atlanta At the Clayton State University Women Soccer Alumni game Good friends = Good times.... For a friend's birthday, I had some edible arrangements delivered I cooked some snails ALL THE WAY FROM CAMEROON ^_^.......Yummmmmmmyyy! Don't knock it till you've tried it I found a new restaurant in MA that I will definitely be visiting again... SUYA JOINT. ..the food was delicious and the atmosphere was good + CLEAN + PROPER. I'll definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to try West African cuisine irrespective of the country I went with a friend from Nigeria who was casually "offended" that they used a Giraffe next to the word SUYA instead of a cow..lol...what do you think?...

An open letter from  Sandra Fluke.....I got this on my email.Spread the WORD! and Don't forget to vote Friend -- In a recent statement that was both factually inaccurate and horribly offensive, Republican Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin said that victims of "legitimate rape" don't get pregnant because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan tried to distance themselves from the remark -- but the fact is they're in lockstep with Akin on the major women's health issues of our time. Just this morning, the Republican Party voted to include the "Human Life Amendment" in their platform, calling for a constitutional ban on abortions nationwide, even for rape victims. Several Romney supporters and advisers stood silently by while this vote took place, and the  Los Angeles Times  reports that the platform "was written at the direction of Romney's campaign."  President Obama ...

Alexandre Dimitri Song Billon  signs with FC Barcelona  He follows in the footsteps of fellow  Cameroonian  player  Eto Fils to become the 7th African player to join the club. The others include  Yaya Touré   of  Côte d'Ivoire , Seydou Kieta of Mali ,  Alberto Mendonça of Angola and  Samuel Okunowo +  Emmmanuel Amunike from le N igéria This is the disgusting politics of professional soccer that pisses me off. And i dont even like the gunners but Song was a great defender for Arsernal and am not sure about the starts but i think he had the most assists. Any hows..I hope He does well in Barcelona  He passed his physical... Oh lord please help me get my dream job of joining the sports medicine team of a professional soccer team. O.K? I'm working on my degrees and Licenses. AMEN!                       Pics Source: FCB...

Congrats to the little ones from Uganda for putting Africa on the Little Leagues World Series MAP by being the first from Africa to qualify to play in the Tournament. Africa is blessed with so many natural born talents that just need the necessary training and sport medicine + performance staff/gears to refine their skills...they are like uncut gems, just waiting to be polished so they can show the world their sparkle ^_^. I will be keeping an eye on this team. Good luck and all the best wishes for the future.

The buzz around the science world is that scientists have been successful in reducing?/freezing? sperm production in male mouse. Obviously the end goal will be to see if the same can be done for humans = male specie Read the abstract HERE I hope to God scientists will be successful in developing a birth control pill for MEN.Its about time they do. I keep reading all these articles where they quote people saying... OH yes..it will be a relief..My husband/bf has been equally worried as i(female) am, about getting pregnant ....LIARS! Since when have men been worried about not having birth control? They have condoms and you cant get some of them to use that even with all the PSAs about STDS and HIV. JQ1 Mechanism of Action Men have been happy with not having to shoulder THAT responsibility. Not having to make the choice, effort, or deal with the medical consequences of being on birth control. Even if they practice unsafe sex, at the end of the day, its the woma...

1'st Gabon athlete to win a medal at the Olympic games He came so close to winning gold. Bravo :)

I thought i was going to be blogging everyday about my opinions on the different events and etc Helas! i got too immersed and emotional in the games to bother blogging about my thoughts and feelings. Instead of giving more publicity to negative events like what those Cameroonian athletes did, am going to highlight the teams and athletes who have inspired me throughout the games. Not just in their athleticism but their journey to this moment. Irrespective of whether they won a medal or not, there is something to be learned from them. And that is to.... NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER LET SOMEONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN OR CANNOT DO BE STEADFAST SUCCESS DOES NOT COME EASY You can apply these life lessons in any facade of life. Whether you are a student trying to do your best to graduate with that good GPA..or a student applying to get into a program...a young professional looking for work or a well deserved promotion, a business entrepreneur...
