Happy New Year!!!

Well wow, can you believe it is already January 7th 2013! Oh my! The days appear to be flying once again! 2012 for me came and went almost like a flash! Boy was it a busy year!



I guess the saying: Time flies when you are having fun applies to me. 2012 really flew by very fast! But, I am not hoping for it to slow down, nope absolutely not! If anything I have a feeling this year is going to be even faster and busier for me than last year. I have a number of projects that I need to work on this year and intend to get done.

Keeping this blog alive is one of the projects. I now very much envy those of us that have our regular 9-5's and yet manage to keep a blog going. So this year I will spend a bit more time working on in the blog, refining it, updating its appearance and content and making it generally better.

It will however still be from my mind's eye! I am not a Harvard trained journalist, nor am I trying to become one neither do I have a degree in literature or creative writing. But I maintain as a member of society, I have something to say about what is going on around me, and in that most crazy country, Nigeria. So I fully intend to keep the blog going in my simple straight forward manner.

So thanks for tuning in in 2012 and Here is to a much better and greater and more prosperous 2013 for us all!!!

Ashe!!!

Institutional Racism explained by an Ex-Batimore Cop

I read the article by Peter Moskos:  Why just blaming cops won't help Baltimore I am going to quote DIRECTLY from his piece describing what I believe can be attributed to institutional and systemic racism as the crux of the problem in my dear Charm City. I am not sure that the author was aware he was indeed supporting the arguments that not only does institutional racism exist, but the damage it has done to our collective society and why we must get rid of it:

Being an effective mentor

Image
Providing a path of light... I have always been attracted to teaching. Possibly I feel this comes naturally to me as I come from a teaching household, one parent a retired professor and the other a retired high school principal and director of education. (I guess that means you now have the right to call me out on my spelling and grammatical errors!  I jump at opportunities to share and impart the little knowledge I have to those working with me and I get to know, and I am eager to learn from those around me. But many times, one does wonder if those efforts have any impact at all, as in many cases, I would move, change jobs and those I worked with and/or mentored I would lose contact with them.

An October full of trick or treat surprises

Another political year another presidential election and another October SURPRISE!!!!! So they keep coming, and coming... and coming... Perfect! Groping... email revelations... more groping.. more email revelations, more groping accusations... further email revelations, further groping accusations... (policies.. not needed!) You hit me below the belt, I hit you right back, Wow. What next? Of course, trick or treat... here you go, more October surprises! But the real question is will it even matter?  And the answer is probably NOT.  Anyone out there who is STILL saying they are an undecided voter needs to get their head checked or has either been living under a rock, no seriously and that rock needs to be in the Sahara desert or Antarctica or something extremely remote, I am sure even the astronauts on the International Space Station are decided at this point! (by the way can they vote absentee,, hmm??) Donald Trump once famously said he could shoot somebody and still maintain
