Ramble On Playa

It's crazy how so much time has passed. I mean this comment in relations to dag near so many aspects of my life. Let me take a minute to talk about myself and my life rather than talk about mainstream issues. Speaking of mainstream issues America how do you feel that your President is black!!! I finally got a hold of the Kat William's DVD "It's Pimpin' Pimpin." The guy is vulgar as crap but the stuff he talks about is true. [I've come to learn that comedy is completely performance and that people don't honestly talk like that from day to day.] But back to Kat Williams, he was saying if we were going to vote for a black man--Obama was the cat to vote for. This is so true!! Finally an accurate representation of what a black man can be, what a black man is, and what black men should strive for. Let me get off my soap box. Kat was saying that our people need a minute to just be proud that we have a black president. If you look at all the past presidents and vice presidents they were all white. Can we get a second just to be proud that one of us is running things. I had to say it.

Time has passed and I haven't blogged about the new president. Well I did, but I got on a soap box and was talking too long. I'll post it. But let's look, it is December and the year has just slipped through my hands. The semester was here now it's gone. This is crazy. That's all I wanted to say. I think for me, it is a wake up call that time is ticking and I have to really be about mine. I really have to be about my goals because hey tommorrow is here and then it's gone.

It's Thanksgiving and I'm at home trying to get this paper done. I don't have much time to take my time but hey, Gordon M. Curry will get the job done and maintain the swag that is so unique to me. Catch me on the flip.

Fully Functioning Society

The course that I thought was so riveting is now becoming less of such. This is probably because the questions I ask people just give blank stares as if I'm speaking Chinese, African what have you. I think it is more of a self-confidence thing. I have a high need for feedback and when people don't say anything I start thinking something is wrong with me. Silence makes me nervous for some reason. If that last sentence was a lead to an article I would have gotten absolutely no coverage. So glad I can have a forum where my writing is not being judged. My question today is does PR add value to society? Should it seek to help make society fully functional? We can see now that the consequences of a corporate culture of greed and self interest is finally bearing bitter fruit for so many industries. So now the public is demanding that CSR be the very core of business. But beyond that should PR seek an orientation to make society fully functional? This was the argument in class tonight.

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This

This One's For The Ladies

To give some context to this statement I'll tell the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth's husband died and she decided to stay with her mother in law, Naomi. Naomi and Ruth are dirt poor and go through a lot of tragedy where they are. Instead of returning back to her family she decides to keep the customs of her mother in law. Naomi has a distant relative Boaz, who happens to be mad rich. Naomi tells Ruth to work in Boaz's field to make ends meet. Long story short Boaz takes a liking to Ruth and eventually they get married. Through all of the struggle Ruth went through she ends up with someone that is best for her. Now that you know this story you will understand this comment I saw on facebook: Hey Ladies, "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait o
