Random Thoughts

Today there is nothing particular that is on mind that I need to express. But there are a few things that are floating around that may develop along.

Income tax returns may be the only savings account some people will ever have.

My computer finally gave out! Now my situation is that I want to replace it immediately but I will moving this summer and not having one would be one less thing to pack!
This will be some miserable months without private personal access!

While reading Ms. Tee blog I realized that we have similar dreams but on a different level. Yes I want a family and kids and would be satisfied if God blesses me with a middle/upper class income. But if he blesses me with more I'll take it too. I also want to help and impact lives but it doesn't have to be on a grand scale but more on a "Pay it forward" type of way. Where as I touch a life, that person in return will pass the blessing and someone else's life will be affected in a positive way. Our only difference is money but that's no big deal. When she makes the big money I will go lay next to her huge heated pool when I need a break from my real life! LOL!

As I watched the news on yesterday, it seems as if people of all races support the parades and dedications to Dr. King more than people in Miami. It bothers me a bit because with the melting pot that we have here in Miami, the Hispanic community should love Dr. King just as much as we do. Without Dr. King they would not be able to be where there are today in the United States. A Hispanic teacher at my school taught a lesson about Rosa Parks without mentioning her name and saying that she was crazy woman who decided that she didn't want to give up her seat on a bus and went to jail. That was her intro to the kids to Dr. King. I work at a school where the majority of the students are Hispanic and when asked who was Dr. King they stated that he freed the slaves. So that leaves me stuck and disappointed. Every other culture is in infused throughout the text books and we have a small section that has been the same since I was in grade school.

I really enjoy seeing the things that made me excited as a child excite my daughter. She loves the MLK parade just as much as I did when I was growing up. She loves eating a bunch of junk food and buying poppers and spray cans. I live through her happiness because it brings the old feelings in my heart that I used to feel. For a moment I don't think about bills, work or relationships. For a moment I escape reality without alcohol or drugs, a pure natural high of happiness. How do you get your natural high?
