Scattered Brain

Well the 4th of July weekend is coming to an end. I actually had a really good weekend. Spent the 4th with my wonderful family, hungout with old friends, and just relaxed a bit in my hometown. Home always seems to help make me feel better. Many things have been racing through my mind. A lot has been going on lately. I guess that's why I am titling this post scattered brain. I am just going to hit on some topics that I have been thinking about lately.

I was excited this weekend when the Obama campaign knocked on my mother's door. They were registering people to vote. It's good to see people from his campaign working hard. Obama is definitely the CHANGE that AMERICA CAN BELIEVE IN! I don't know how successful they were with registering people, but I see one more registered voter as a success. Does anyone else get excited when they see an OBAMA bumper sticker on people's cars? I do and I seem to smile when I notice that it is a white person with it. I know some seem to think that only BLACK people are supporting OBAMA, but you are wrong! BARACK the VOTE 08!

I am ready to move from Columbus. This city is just blah for me right now. I need to get away from here. I guess that's why I have been spending so much time away from Columbus. I have literally only been in the city about three maybe four weekends since April. Many of you know that I plan on moving I am just trying to make all the pieces align together. Once that happens I am saying peace to tha 614!


I am attending my LB's wedding this weekend. I am happy for him. It's nice to see two peole unite as one. I wish them the best and hope that they stick it out for better and for worse.

Oh yeah my dad wrote me another letter. I am thinking of writing him back. I kinda don't have anything else to say so I don't want to waste the time and effort. I know sounds bad, but I don't really know what else to say to him. I am trying to think of things. Hopefully I can. He gets out of jail in August so I am happy for him. I truly hope he stays out this time. I am praying that he gets it together. I think that would make me and my sister very happy if he does. Who knows. We will see.

Should I go and get my Ph.d? I am considering it. I have always said that teaching at the college level was something I wanted to do. I think it would be a good thing to do. Dr. Clifford Rodney Smith, III. Yep has a great ring to it. LOL who knows what could happen though. You never know what I might decide to do. Anyone have any thoughts?

Ok enough of the scattered brain for today. I think my next post will be on Segregation. I have been thinking a lot about it lately. Do you notice that we stil live in a very segregated society? I have been thinking about why that is. Are black and whites really afraid to mix? I don't know but I will definitely give all my thoughts.

Until next time I am America's Nightmare...
