As you most like heard Rosa Parks died today at a ripe old age of 92. She did so much with her time for doing something so simple. I'm not black, but I and others owe her a great deal of gratitude today. When she "sat down" for her rights she started a ball rolling towards civil rights for all. She kindled a dream, and saw part of it become reality. If not for a 42year old seamstress sticking up for herself, and saying enough was enough, we might be still eating at segregated lunch counters, and have glbt people hiding deep in there closets.
But it wasn't just the fact that she fought for civil rights, she showed the world it could be done in a civil manner. She didn't start a riot, or a war, or tell black folks to go loot whitey's stores. No she and others did it with peaceful protests and got us there.
Thank you Ms. Parks for being brave. Thank you for helping all of us who are not white, straight, republicans, have rights too. Thank you for helping inspire Dr. King's dream. I hope someday we see it fulfilled completely. Sleep well, you have worked hard and deserve your peaceful slumber.
Love to all and g'nite.

Checking back in...
Ok sorry for my absence. Not much has been resolved since last I blogged. I still need to lay low until everything eventually blows over. Things are otherwise generally well. Work is ok, selling lots of original ad ideas, which is a nice place to pour my creative side. Co and the kids are well which is good.
Social life is same as usual, non existent. I had talked a couple of gals to go to creative cocktail hour last week, but they both backed out. That's the story of my life, I try real hard to make some mainstream friends and hang out, and I always get stood up.
The book is coming along great too. I'm actually done writing about my life up to now. I have the last paragraph left half written which is a wrap up chapter. Now all I have to do is finish putting my handwritten pages into my word processor. I'm up to 1998 on the computer, so I'm approaching the end. I hope to finish up by Christmas, read it over, and then decide whether or not I'm going to try and have it published. Once that is out of the way I can get on with my fiction stories I've been toying with.
Oh well, enough said, hope all is well with you all.
Love to all, until we meet again, take care.
