SIRIUS XM RADIO, I PAY FOR..MY..MUSIC

NOT CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON EVERY STATION

It happens every year and every year I fall for it. The Christmas music on radio stations I pay for. I have to "Soul town, The Grove, Backspin [don't judge me], Classic Rock to name a few. I enjoy my subscriptions throughout the year, but when it's Christmas time!! OMG. There is a certain annoyance about this music. Whether it's the jingles or bells, nope, I had enough. When it starts in October before I've had my halloween candy then November before I've  had my turkey to say the least, this music genre starts.

      I understand why I have grown to hate/dislike this holiday season. My mother loved to cook for Thanksgiving and everyone loved her Thanksgiving, especially her turkey and dressing/stuffing. [Stuffing goes in the turkey;dressing is backed on the side]. When it came to Christmas, my father was the big kid in the house with the decorations. It was a project with the lights and those hot ass bulbs. If you broke one it would mess up the entire string of lights and you would have to start from the beginning and find that 'out' bulb. This is the bane of my existence.

      I'm working on this issue, in my own time and way but I don't need to be annoyed during this season of grief for me by Christmas music from the 1950's and 60's. [The Temptations are an exception].

This is why I pay for my listening pleasure and not to be in constant agony through my ears! [ba-humbug]

SOUTHERN CHARM

I've been in the south a bit too long. It took a few minutes to figure out how to pronounce this flavor. New Yorkers know my struggle. I blame some of my country neighbors.

PUZZLES

Growing up we girls used to spend a lot time in the winter months putting together  puzzles. Different types of arts and crafts to occupy our brains so would not die from boredom.
A few years ago I taught one of my grands about the agony of pursuing completion with only a picture with broken pieces to put back together. For me, it was fun. Him not so much 😙

Vote 2016

Today will be the 10^th time I vote for our POTUS. It is a historical time in this nation’s existence again. The fact that America’s president is supposed to be the leader of the free world and just now getting around to excepting a woman being qualified to hold the position tells the world just how much the USA is behind. Ignorance will have one missing out on progress to say the least.

I have voted since 1975, this year is the worst to date of the ‘smut’ that has been across my television in recent years. I thought the Romney/Obama was bad, this one guy has insulted every type of American, yet he still has a huge following. This is telling the world America is going to hell in a hand basket! If ‘we cannot fix our ‘issues’, how can we ‘police’ the middle east or any part of the world? Who should listen to any of our Ambassadors from the USA?

It’s not like you can hide that relative in the back room until company leaves. There is a represent vie running for office who is supposed to be speaking for the masses, who to some of us sounds crazy. “building a wall!”, not even specifying for which border, but the USA automatically assumes the southern border. Let me remind you that most of this nation’s land comes from the ‘First People’ ‘Mexican’ Coyote! America stole it in the first place.!!

What about the Northern border? Oh, wait you like them, they come from Europe as well, commandeering land from the ‘First Nations as well?!?

America’s dirty big secret is being exposed to the world. More skeletons to fall out of the closet in the near future. Our young population was raised in the cyber world where they can check and verify everything. Unlike we ‘baby-boomer’ had to listen to our parents, for better or worse, what they had to say until you could make your own decisions.   

I digress, GET OUT AND CAST YOUR BALLOT. I don’t really care who you vote for, just not that dude.

Where I come from

I grew up in The Bronx during the 1960’s and 1970’s. There were the “Jews” Italians, and Puerto Ricans in the neighborhood to start, [as my memory goes]. We gave respect to each family’s culture while they celebrated their holidays.

Today I want to speak about the different foods that were available during my childhood. Around the corner there was the pizza parlor [palor] and the Delicatessen [Deli], later came the Bodegas. After school you had a chose of a knish, slice or pastelillo.  The Spanish spot had rice balls with meat deep fried, plantains, empanadas. The neighbor was friends with my dad and “he” could get some Coquito! My ‘Kosher’ neighbor was friends with my mom. They stood with their door opened and talked for hours about what ever. My mom would save chicken fat during their high holy days and give to her. My mom used to work for Jews on Long Island and spoke a little Yiddish. [oy vey] Who knew we understood as much Yiddish as we did. Some Saturdays my family would end up at Katz Deli and get treated to one of the massive pastrami or corned beef sandwiches.

Later years as I started traveling to school alone, I would venture into other cuisines, eg. Russian Borscht served with sour cream or a hardboiled egg. [their pastries are to die for]. When I was engaged, we used to travel to ‘China-Town’ [the A-train ] to eat authentic Chinese food, nothing like the ‘rip-off’ in the local neighborhoods and catch a Shaolin movie. I missed those ‘findings’.

My point, I grew up around different cultures, New York City, and the ‘norm’ was always something different. We tried your foods, your fashions, etc. so I feel I am not afraid of you nor you of me. My children brought kids home who called me ‘mom’ were from different countries by the time the 1980’s rolled in. This was no big deal, keep it 100% [NYers know what this is] If by chance you get to know your neighbors you may get to understand them and possibly realize there is more of the same things in common than different.

Here in the south, not so much. ‘Old-Timey’ ways are losing steam and going out of the norm. The ‘Good-ole-party’ had its run. It is time for reality to step up and in. I do not want to take over, move in or be anywhere I am not wanted. I want to have the right to live in peace [Period] Yes we are different, no so much, hell we may even be cousins. Shake a few of those family trees.

THE YAWN [ELECTION] IN AMERICA

With less than a week away from getting away from these annoying facts less commercials I have watched the back teeth of some politicians come out along with my neighbors who smile and greet me daily. I must say I have more respect for those who choose not to disclose their political preference than the folks who remind me of the mice in ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ [ Robert Browning] follow blindly off a cliff.

Hatred is a strong emotion that will have you following irrational behavior ordinarily deemed foolish and in one’s right mind considered insane.

The one candidate who started insulting immigrants, then a list of groups of people until he insulted white women, now the commercials with “he is not fit to lead this nation start! Where were you during the past 11 months when the insults were spewed? These are the some of the same “cheerleaders” who want to repeal The Affordable Care Act after 60 plus attempts.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to create universal healthcare when then POTUS William Jefferson Clinton was in office but was relegated to child healthcare because the was no cooperation in Congress for this cause. [I am old enough to remember]. I also remember Sec. Clinton not wanting any part of the Oval office in 2009, after the loss to then Sen. Obama.  I am sceptic of anyone who did not want the job, was begged, now is running, I hope will do their best. After all this is the best, highest position in the USA, leader of the ‘free world’, who by the way are watching. Watching how we treat our own people, how we us our democracy sticking our nose in other countries who only sin is protecting themselves from the USA bullying tactics. Did someone say emails? Mine are annoying and full of junk, it takes up my day fishing through the junk for important or useful stuff while avoiding phishing scams. If I had 30,000 emails with a staff under me, there would be several balls dropped. [nuff said on this subject] ‘Move along people, nothing to see here anymore’

Traditions, Labor Day

How much of what we do is tradition? Tradition calls for church on Sunday, or Saturday. Walking down the Aisle for a wedding. Having 2.3 children and a dog.

There many communities in New York City that have their own traditions. There in the “Chinatown” community you have shops, restaurants of different types of food that I am used to growing up in my household but not unfamiliar to me as a New Yorker. The imported Tiger shrimps, lychee fruit, Peking style duck, and the imported souvenirs are familiar to me when traveling in this community. Then there are the South Asian or East Indian communities that have their own traditions. This community is a new experience for my generation but not to my children. With them I’ve learned about the true origin of most spices. I learned the true meaning of “curry” which is a proprietary blend of turmeric, cumin and a personal preference of added spices just to name a few.

I grew up with Italians, middle Eastern Jewish, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans. We watched the community change as the immigration to the United States changed. Each community bringing their traditions with them and maintaining them while in their adapted country while respecting America and its values. We all celebrated with each other our differences and what we have in common. We had family in common, loyalty, religion or the belief in God. There was a respect for human life as well as the sanctity of marriage.

There were some families or people that were different to what the community was used to, but you tried not to stare. The man who walked “funny” with the pink on, or the lady who looked like a man; your parents said “It’s not polite to stare”. Respect above all, mind your business.

Traditions can be a learning experience if you’re willing to listen and learn from someone other than what you are used to. I change you to go out into the community during “other people” holidays or celebrations and learn something new. I am sure they will be more than happy to teach and share with you. Especially their food!

“Make America Great Again”, America has always been great because of the different traditions and customs that came seeking something better for their families. For my family, it is a different story.

I will revisit how my people made America great without asking to come here.

Mother Teresa is now Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa is now Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Growing up in The Bronx, I am familiar with some of the Catholic traditions and formerly know Mother Teresa is one of them. I remembered the day she came to The Bronx and met with the Princess of Wales Dianna. This month Saint Teresa was Canonized.

I’m not sure if I was around for anyone else who was living and became a Saint, but I do remember Mother Teresa and her tireless work.  

Mother Teresa MC, known in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta.

The worldwide Missionaries of Charities Foundation Mother Teresa launched in Calcutta in 1950 launched its first North American branch on E. 145th St. in the South Bronx more than 20 years later.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa]

Mother Teresa stayed at the Bronx Mission for a few weeks in May and June of 1997. There, nuns and volunteers run a men’s shelter and a soup kitchen, and administer a food distribution center. June of 1997that Mother Teresa and Princess Diana met for the last time.

Remembering Grandmother Rosa ♥

They were a strange bunch, but I was told they’re family and you’re automatically supposed to except them.

It was the first time I went to Florida and spent time with my paternal grandmother. I had memories of her when I was a small child, but this time I was about 10 years old.

Lake Placid was a sleepy town with rows and rows of orange groves as I remember it. There was a spot off of one road called “Spook’s Hill”. The story as: One day a lone fisherman parked his car at the foot of the hill and walked away towards the fishing hole. When he looked backed the car started moving by itself. He knew no one could have walked up and got into his car! He ran screaming, and this is how it got its name “Spook’s Hill”. So my father with my mother and I were in one car did like the sign said “put the car in neutral and take your foot off of the brake!”. Sure enough the car started rolling very slowly backwards up the hill! I was speechless and amazed. My dad, who wore his hat cocked to one side, sat up straight and straightened his hat &*#@, my mother had her hand over her wide opened mouth! I eventually started laughing until I almost couldn’t breathe.

Every time I see moss hanging from a tree I think of my grandmother and the last time I spent one summer in Florida.

This an American story I stumbled on while surfing the web. The fact that she was born "outside of wedlock" is a story a great number of people are familiar with but she was of mixed race. Being a love product of unaccepted society, she is a well rounded soul in my opinion.
June Cross story is one like many who comes from a time when it was unacceptable to have mixed marriages. She was hidden in plan sight in society and grew up with views from both sides of the family in the early 1960's which was a difficult time during the civil rights movement.

CREDIT CARD MAIL RANT!

 Today’s rant is brought to you by most of my junk mail in my physical U.S. postal mailbox.

Enough with the advertisements of “lower” interest rates. I’m not buying into any of it!

A few years ago I had a HSBC credit card, it had a $500.00 limit. I paid most of it off through online payments. There was a balance of $200.00 or so left. When Capitol took over the account it was near impossible to log in to pay the bill. If you wanted to call the payment in, they wanted to charge you $10.00!! %^&** Needless to say my balance grew to $700.00

I eventually paid it off and vowed never to open another account with them again.

They don’t get the message. NO NO NO THANK YOU..

Today more mail; at least three or four times a week in my mailbox, this garbage taking up space.

There should be a law like the telemarketers calling your home, stop with the junk mail.

I’ve tried the “Return-to-sender” and make them pay for the postage to no avail.

PSA!141

I am not a racist. This another Public Service Announcement!

In this day and age, I cannot walk into an establishment without looking around, scoping the room to see if it will be a relatively safe encounter at this moment. This is my reality each and every day, two or three times per day, each time I get out of my cat or walk in.

This is the environment the white people created, period. The sitting in the back of the bus, not looking whites in the face or eye to eye. I am old enough to have witnessed these types of segregation to name a few. I still have the bitter taste in my mouth from the marches of the 1960’s and 1970’s. I know firsthand of the police brutality, the neighborhood gentrification at the expense of my community. From the “white-flight” to the mortgage bubble melt down [giving mortgages to unqualified whites]. I have lived all of this. I will, and have survived.

Today’s rant is the hatred of those racist white people. I HATE THEIR GUTS. Period.

There will be no “church forgiveness”. There will be no “kumbiyah swaying and holding hands, no for the thousand-th time another conversation about, anything. There is nothing to talk about anymore. White America knows what it has to do, for everybody! From the Native-First Nations [this includes Mexicans!] to the Original Hebrews that were stolen then sold from one exiled land to another.

Everywhere the Neanderthal offspring has gone, they have pillaged or “colonized” leave desolation in their departure. Today they’re scared. Scared that the “Millennials are not buying the ancestral bullshit of the past.

I was a little tyke when I saw Dr. Martin Luther King; a tween when I saw Malcolm X, worked at the 2012 Democratic Convention; I am here to witness the unraveling of AmeriKKKa as we know it. Get with the program and stop pushing an antiquated agenda of superior-vs-inferior humans. If you don’t think your racist; what color is vanilla?

I thought so…

Professor Jame Small: The History Of Christianity In Ancient Africa

In this day and time there is a need for religious reform. We as a people need to ask ourselves what is really important nowadays. There are no more shocking, disturbing news anymore, for the  most part. There was ANOTHER mass shooting yet again and the only thing i could feel for is the each individual families who have lost a loved one. Empathy for sudden death, the agony of burring an adult child perhaps. The lack of common sense gun laws with pandering to special interest groups who's bottom line is about money.
My people, my community, the African American need to address our own issues right now. We have no culture, no language, nothing to separate from this on going oppression today. Where do we go today? The halls of higher learning? Churches? Synagogues? Mosques? I am a Christian by tradition, and this is failing my community today and has been for a very long time. During slavery it was a tool to control the masses with superstitions and promises of a better life in the here after. Today I implore you to take another look into our religious traditions and explore some of the origins that we hold so dear and see if it is worth revising.
I'm asking you to take time and list to Professor James Small, and start your own journey of questioning what was handed down for generations without asking.

I had the pleasure of joining a few phenomenal women last night at “CHIMA’S”. It was a chance to meet women who were in different stage of life come together exchanging tips advice.

The concept of MIDNITE MOMMIES is, we as mothers have only 24 hours in a day to take care of our family, work, etc. and at the end of the day after you make dinner, put the kids and husband to bed, there are a few hours left for yourself, around ‘midnight’.

There were women from different walks of life. There was the Great-grandmother [13 grands, 13 great grands]; mothers of you school age children; single mothers; all that can learn from each other. Then there were a few mothers that were business owners. It was a chance to “network” last night and showcase each individual company. We had a blast, hors d’oeuvres, complimentary massages, AVON samples. Raffles were drawn for free gifts ranging from discounts massages, free Radio air time, free business printed advertisements.

My only regret was, all of the junk in my handbag, I didn’t have any of my cards to pass out.

Child’s Play

I had two dolls one summer that cause a discussion amongst the adults. I remembered this incidence for some reason [as most, they may or may not have some significance]; it was a discussion about racism.   

The one doll had curly long blonde hair with a change of clothes, combs and a bottle. The other had a one piece sewn on outfit that you could not change, and no combing hair [wax mold].  I played with the doll with more accessories for hours on end. My godmother Lillie Mae McCrae, and educator, gave me the doll with no hair and my parents bought me the other doll. One day I found the adults were interested in why I was playing with one and not the other. My God-mother asked “Why are you not playing with the doll I gave you?” My response “It’s ugly!” I can hear mumbling and humming among the adults at this time.

There was the white doll who had the curly long blonde hair, and the brown doll that had a no clothes, no hair to comb. As child I always had a different perspective about life than other children my age. That whole thing about a veil and all, I have no idea what they meant at that time. My father took time with me and asked “Why did I not want to play with the ‘ugly’ doll?” My response, “Because she has no hair to comb!” Simple, I did not see what the adults saw, just the fact I was not able to comb its hair [period]

How many of our fears are passed to our children? Let the children be, let them play and be happy. We will be adults much longer than children. We can learn from children, if they’re full, they push the plate away, even on to the floor and run and to go play. They give no regard for the starving children all over the world. They have the energy and weight to show for it.

I have a new found understanding of the adults that were instrumental in my development of who I am today.

Trump-vs-Clinton? Bamboozle?

An observation that has been going on for a few months is Donald Trump is “stumping” for something just not the position of the president of the United States. Billionaires by nature do not answer to anyone; the POTUS’ job is not that. Right now it is killing him not to fire off more often.

Case in point: a. he has spent his own money not having to give an account to anyone of how or what the money is spent on.

                      b. When pressed by SOME media to give specifics of how he would ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN’ he fails.

                     c. How he will send all of the immigrants that came south of the border of the USA back to the “portioned” off land of their ancestors.

                    

 The episodes of “race-baiting” encouragement seem to be the underlying theme at his rallies, to name a few. What he has managed to do is bring out the worst in people who have had their emotions, for the most part under control.

The news media, as usual is reporting the “lava flow” instead of the erupting volcano.  I find it suspicious that the other Republican candidates are so “passive, around Donald Trump not acting like they even want the job, or waiting for Trump’s ok. I am a native New Yorker, I know a rat when I smell it, and Donald Trump is “stumping” for former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton!

Yes I said it, this makes sense to me. Trump who is a shroud businessman who takes chances and makes deals is a billionaire for a reason. Today he’s positioning himself for his #LevelNext. This is his @HillaryClinton campaign contribution {for the gods} If I had friends in powerful, high places why not accept their assistances. The way about this circus is one for the books. KUDOS to those who “work” the system, not he people, but the system. Mr. Trump is no more interested in holding office than the stray cat that lives in my back yard.

Archie Manning played quarterback football for the New Orleans Saints from 1971-1982. There is no wonder the dream he may have for his sons one day to play for the NFL.

I stand corrected, he has two sons who play for the NFL. There is no wonder why this was an important game last night. Not taking anything away from Peyton Manning, the dynasty had to prevail. Just like the suspect talent Eli Manning had when he joined The Giants it’s good to be connected.

It was reminiscence of the Bush elections and G.H.W. Bush showed up in Florida [or where ever] to call the “troops” to the aid of son and the outcome of that election. I mean if cannot count on family then who? If it where mine, I guess I would have done all that I could.

#OscarSoWhite

There seems to be a concern about the Oscar Nominations this year of the diversity of representation or the lack there of Black actors.

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences …”The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's preeminent movie related organization, comprised of 7,000+ accomplished men and women working in cinema.

We recognize and uphold excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences, inspire imagination, and connect the world through the medium of motion pictures.” The Academy’s membership process is by sponsorship, not application.  Candidates must be sponsored by two Academy members from the branch to which the candidate seeks admission.

Additionally, Academy Award nominees are automatically considered for membership and do not require sponsors.

Nominees and sponsored candidates are reviewed by branch committees and recommendations for membership are considered by the Academy’s Board of Governors.  The Board decides which individuals will receive invitations.  Membership review takes place once a year, in the spring.  [http://www.oscars.org/about]

Research suggests that the Academy is the place that has no diversity.   The fact that the voting board has no diversity in its members gives limited scope to any outcome of said diversity.

In other words “What do you expect?” It’s like having a bunch of girl scouts judging monster truck tractor pulls.

Which brings me to today’s observation; I noticed last year when there was civil unrest in the poorer communities, police misconducts and civil rights blatantly being violated by police, the Hollywood community for the most sat silent. Not one call of outrage or concern. Not even a PSA. I really don’t care about an industry that has shown to be exclusive by nature. There was a need to start production companies because of fact none of the “big name” movies houses were ever interested in independent/start up films [ thank you Sundance, LionsGate] to name a few. There is a need to acknowledge the minorities in this business. Wait! Just one minute, there are the NAACP Image Awards; The Trumpet Awards; Stellar Awards to name a few.

If you’re looking for the “oppressor” to acknowledge you, you will be waiting for something that will never truthfully will happen. Get over it, I could care less. Paying actors upwards 3 million or better per movie. Not my concern.
