I feels this here. Thanks Jode Jo! If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults are not really important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you.

I would like to begin my outpouring of thoughts by saying that I am bored. If the things I say are odd, irregular and outright...well, odd and irregular, then fine. *Ted Kennedy is dead.

They are expensive and contrary to what I thought, they are not waterproof. *Certain people's voices annoy me. I'll hear them talking and I make that face like when you smell burnt popcorn or burnt greens. I can't tell them to shut the hell up, so I just tune to WTAM Brain Radio and sing Bootsy Collins songs until they stop talking. After which, I reply "this is true". *My phone is held together by duct tape. I should consider burning it, but I got some text ...

Here's the letter I wrote: To Whom It May Concern: I am a tenant at 6111 at Ridgeway Crossing in Memphis, TN. I find that I should share with you the issues I am dealing with at my home. I have been a resident since February of this year, and in this short time, I have had my home broken into under mysterious circumstances, insect problems and have been without air conditioning twice since then. I wrote to management once before about the break in and the slow, lethargic way that my concerns were handled. After a little cat and mouse (not the fault of Ms. Moran of the Regional Office), I was able to share my problems. However, I find that I am dealing with yet another major problem…I have been without air conditioning since July 26, 2009. I made the service requests through the emergency operator on Monday, July 27th around 11am (because I got no answer in the front office). I called back shortly after and spoke to one of the ladies in the office. I was told someone would be out ...
