Idol Proves Looks Aren’t Everything
At the start of season five of American Idol, contestant Taylor Hicks appeared to be an unlikely candidate for the show and a sure-fire cast-off. His gray hair and oddly Ray-Charles-ish personality made it almost impossible for anyone to predict he’d make any connection with the young target audience of Idol. Last night, however, showed how your looks and physique are not necessarily the only factors for success. Hicks seemed to wield his personality all season long and captured the hearts of America winning the coveted title of American Idol.
Let the Summer Begin
This weekend marks the start of summer 2006. As we all know too well, summer is the season that flies by the fastest and we’re left looking back from our Labor Day perches wondering what happened to the warmest 90-or-so days of the year. This is your chance folks. Take a moment to plan ahead for summer fun. Beach weekends, outdoor activities – even camping, can be a part of your agenda. Memorial weekend is also Black Pride Weekend in Washington, DC. Men and women of color flock from all over the country to congregate in our nations Chocolate City to enjoy the gayest weekend of color in the northeast. So let the games begin! Bring on the sun and take summer 2006 by the horns!

…and cut! You’ve been thinking about it for a while, but don’t know how or when to do it. It’s time to do it now though and you can feel it in your deepest recesses. What do you intend to cut-out of your life this summer – and hopefully for good? What do you believe your biggest challenge is for keeping it out of your life? What makes you so sure it must be eradicated from your life?
Keep passin’ the open windows…

I plan to cut fried-foods. I have been on a healthy eating planning (Weight Watchers) and have lost close to 15 pounds. Not only do the fried foods add weight but they also raise cholesterol and blood pressure. My biggest challenges are french fries and fried fish. I’m not much of a chicken person so fried chicken isn’t much of a concern. I'm not quite ready for the gym but I am willing to supervise my eating habits by cutting the grease!
First, the obvious cut is cigarettes. They have been my best friend and worst enemy for over 20 years. Unless you are or have been a smoker, you can’t possibly recognize the enormous powers this addiction has over its victims. In light of the fact that I’m living healthier, it’s time to drop the puff-box for good.
On a more subtle plane, I’m cutting situations and people who do not serve to enrich me. We all have them in our lives… the negative folks who don’t have anything good to say about themselves or others; always broke; always unhappy; turning their nose up every time I do anything that is fun, different or exciting; finding every fault in my personality, appearance and friendship….rather than make a big stink, I’ll very quietly step back – one step, then another, then another; until there’s finally no connection. Sometimes, cutting doesn’t have to be done with butcher knife, it can be done with a fine, but sharp scalpel.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my son Cameron is doing fine. For a recap he had to have surgery to move his intestine out of a herniated spot. Now because he is four he is trying to play and he is waking up in some pain but he is okay. Thank you all that prayed for him and those in my family
SUPER DONYA! I'm so glad Cam is doing fine. Yes, many of us prayed for him and I've been waiting for an update for a few days now. God is good - ALL THE TIME!
If you lost that bad taste in music, i.e. Taylor Hicks that will probably count for 10lbs. Sorry, Tammy Loves ya, I can not take that noise that comes out of taylor, Uck!

WHAT GIRL? You and I both know you will not be running out to buy the 24 y/o senior citizen CD. Hell that Mo’fo looks so old they may just cut some vinyl for his ass and press a 78 speed album just to match his look.
