Volition

I believe that one of the most important things we have on earth is volitoin. If I can't choose then freedom is a fraud. Okay, so if I really have that freedom, then is there anything off limits or beyond me? I'm going with the thought that in the land of the free freedom encompasses everything. Freedom to pray, believe, express, think, learn, expand, grow and so much more. We are living in an age where these freedoms are an exact display of Christianity. One of the biggest things Christ gave us was our freedom to...

So, my friend, if this freedom is real (no one is making you do anything) then what are some of the things we can 'decide?' I can decide if I'm going to learn in school (they make you go but only you can decide to learn while you're there). I can decide if I'm going to further my education after high school. I can decide if I'm going to make my living within the laws of the legal system or if I'm going to hustle for the rest of my days. I can decide if I'm going to respect authority or be a menace to society. I can decide whether I am going to be a positive or negative example. I can decide whom I'm going to love, believe it or not. I can decide on any and everything about me.

Now here is where it gets tricky. The more exposure I have the more choices. That concept seems good but it’s not always so. The more I have floating around in my stream of consciousness the more I have to reject. For example, if I have no idea what it feels like to be high then I won’t crave the drug. If I can’t fathom how good sex is before marriage then I won’t fight off the lonely nights without a HIM.

So, my volition not only affects my lifestyle but my experiences, as well. So now that I know this… what am I going to do with it? I guess make some decision!

Making the Call

Too little too late
I've already got too much on my plate
I hate to perpetrate but I'm already overwhelmed
I can do without your boyish charm
Seems like what would help me now
Is a man in arms
Yes, I need military help
Send in the troops for goodness sake
I need the guns and the muscle
All that you've got
Forceful assistance is what we will call it
S.O.S
9-1-1
Who do I call to get the job done?

FEMA Fallout

Mike Brown resigned today. What a surprise! I just know he was nervous when he got the call from Michael Chertoff. Before Chertoff could say anything I bet Mike tossed his letter of resignation on the desk and scurried away. Typical, huh? Lol

My biggest problem with Brown is that he does come across as simple. If you are the head of FEMA and the media asks you about the NOLA convention center and you have no idea what the hell they are talking about… DON’T SAY THAT!!! Obviously it’s something bad so all you need to do is say something like… ‘we are looking into it’ or maybe ‘we are overwhelmed because of the magnitude of this disaster but trust believe (that’s my ghetto coming out lol) we are handling it.’

That’s all he had to say. But nooooooo, he was like… ‘There’s a convention center there?’ Duh
And how about the governor getting caught talking to her press secretary during a commercial break. She was all ‘Maybe I should have called for troops earlier.’ Another big DUH! Of course she should have, but what I’m pissed about is that she thought the middle of a television interview, still mic’d was the best time to discuss it. Then when questioned about the statement I guess they went with the old game plan ‘make them believe they didn’t hear what I clearly said.’ Um, I’m not falling for it.

*Whew* People these days…
