Michael Joseph Jackson was an inspiration as a person…not even touching the genius he was as an performer.

He came on this earth, and actually did the Lord’s work. He cared about mankind and mother earth. With a childlike soul and heart of gold. MJ definitely will be missed

God Bless,

Life Support

I know she's tired of taking all those pills a day.

Everyday. But She's on life support.

Yeah, you gave her life, but, you also took life from her.

You gave this beautiful sista HIV, at the same time you gave her a beautiful babygirl.

She said, "Boo, I'm pregnant"

Your arrogant ass had the nerve to tell her "congratulations, when is you & your man's baby due."

Knowing good & well, that she was a young virgin when you met her.

She looks up at you, tears running down her face, she says, "I'm also HIV positive, carrying your baby. You promised me that my first time would be special, but damn, I never thought that my first time would also be my death sentence.

But thanks to you, I'm on Life support!"

This Christmas

As we prepare to spend our very first Christmas together,

Remember just how much I love you.

Love, the same gift that God gave us the first Christmas over 2,000 years ago.

When He gave us His son, Jesus Christ.

So, this Christmas, I may not be able to give you the material desires of your heart, but, what I can and always will give you, today, Christmas Day and everyday for the rest of our lives.

LOVE.

So, don?t worry about putting presents under the tree, just remember that I?ve already gotten the greatest gift of all.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only son.

And God so loved me that he gave me you?and that?s all I?ll ever need. I love you.

·        that is a VERY good question...now that i think about it, it seems men do always seem to downgrade when they cheat...maybe it's because they don't want to put much work into it, sorta like they just want easy(or what they think is easy) prey ? Author Leila Jefferson

·        Well, honey - I just love your mother's answer and I can see how that is the truth. They know good and damn well they

don't deserve a woman as good as you, so they go where they feel comfortable - to trash!!! LOL ? Author S.D. Denny

Why is it that when men cheat, they cheat with the most raggedy woman they can find?

My Mama?s answer: ?They cheat with what they feel equal to.?

My personal take on that: I?ve actually found that to be true on a number of occasions, not just in my own personal situations.

What do you all think? Let me know.

I stand with Magic, do You?

The National Domestic Violence Hotline

1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
1-800-787-3224 (TTY)

 If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the hotline, the police, or someone who you can trust.

 Together we can put a stop to domestic violence!

They say that it is hard to know exactly how common domestic violence is, because people often don't report it. There is no typical victim. It happens among people of all ages. It affects those of all levels of income and education.

Which is very true, no one would have ever suspected me to have been a victim of domestic violence, but I was.

 It is the most common cause of injury to women ages 15 to 44. Victims may suffer physical injuries such as bruises or broken bones. They may suffer emotionally from depression, anxiety or social isolation.

I didn't suffer from broken bones, but, had bruises often and bruised insides. I was extremely depressed and then chose to isolate myself from the rest of the world.
