Well, I wanted to place some pictures on here in tribute to the late Dr. Martin Luther King however my BlogSpot is not cooperating with me. It will not allow me to add any videos or images at this time so I will just attach the link to the I Have a Dream Speech.

This man fought hard for civil rights of people of color. I just wonder what he would think if he were here today. I, for one, am sick and tired of black people using the white man as an excuse for all their shortfalls. True, there is and probably will always be racism. People need to realize that when one door close, you just look for another door. Stop wasting time complaining about everything and use that energy to continue to strive. I am disappointed in the black on black violence and the violence blacks commit against others (not saying that other races does not commit crimes because we all know that is not true). I'm just saying stop making names for our ourselves and hold yourselves accountable for your actions rather than playing the blame game. Its time to RISE UP and stop being a SLAVE to your own mind polluted by nothing more than Violence. It is such a shame that we have to beg for a day of "No Shots Fired" in a highly populated Black/African-American community. That is ridiculous! How does that make Blacks look? Its time to wake up black people!

Dear Zriah...
Dear Zriah,
"I have been single for a several years now and I have tried dating however, everyone I have dated has some type of issues. They were secretly married or had a girlfriend or were just not interested in anything except sex all the time. I recently met someone (very recent) and, although I do want to settle down again, he is moving VERY fast. He started telling me he love me in about a week, he wants to have children and wants to be married within the next 2-3 years. I did not want to just blow him off but I am concerned about how fast this man is trying to move. It hasn't even been a month since I have met him. I am trying to be open-minded because I am very quick to cut someone off but I can't help but be concerned. Now, that is not all that has been happening. He has been telling me he is coming over and I will not see or hear from him until the next morning. He will text me 'good morning' like he did not just stand me up the night before. He has done this SEVERAL times. He came to my house on New Year's, left about 2 hours before midnight claiming he had to go to sleep for work the next day. When I tell him about his actions, he tries and say I am playing games. HUH? Then he says he loves me and I BETTER love him and not hurt him. It does not put me in the right mind or mood how he acts. I am just confused and I just wanted to ask someone who does not know me and cannot judge me based on knowing me. Thank you for your time and I will await your response."

Dear Rather Be Alone,
Let me start by saying I can understand your concerns with this man. He sounds like he can be very controlling. ("You BETTER love him and not hurt him"). That is a very tall order for someone you just met. It also sounds like you want to take your time and get to know this individual and he is throwing things at you all at one time and then he gives you mix signals about the things he is throwing you. In one breath, it seems he is saying he loves you and want a family with you very early in this relationship yet he disappears on you in the next breath. Hmmm. On one hand, it could be another woman in his radar as well and telling you he is coming over keeps you at home while he is out with his other woman and vice versa for the other female. On the other hand, he may just want to see how far you will let him go. In any case, he is pushing blame on you to remove the spotlight on him and having you second guess your own feelings about what he is doing and HE IS playing games. Don't let him play those mind games with you honey. You need to sit down and evaluate everything and try to look in the future. Remember, typically how a relationship starts is how it ends so if you allow things that make you unhappy or question yourself, this could last the entirety of your relationship. Do not allow this man or any man to control you, have you sitting at home waiting on him, and questioning your own morals. Do not settle based on loneliness. You sound like you have standards so KEEP YOUR STANDARDS! Don't waiver because of someone else's problems. Dust that dress off, grab those hills and pamper yourself. To hell with his drama. There are some wonderful, beautiful, faithful men in this world. It may take a little more time to find him.
Signed,
Zriah

Dear Zriah?
One of my previous blog posts was a Dear Zriah post. When my friend made the statement that oral sex was not cheating, I gave him..a piece of my mind LOL (He's like my best male friend). He asked my opinion as to why did I feel like it was and I put my opinion on my blog.
I receive so many question, ideas and concerns with people everyday life. I am a pretty open person to just about anything so a lot of people feel comfortable talking to me about...well anything. I am NO expert on relationships but I do find a lot of the questions very interesting. When I answer I am as honest as possible but I can be a comical person. My responses are my thoughts alone but I have decided that, with the permission of the people asking the questions, I will post them on my blog. I will not use their names or anything just the questions they ask and my replies.
Well this was the introduction to my Dear Zriah segments. Although I am no expert on blogging or relationships I will do my best.
Here Goes...

Oral Sex is Cheating?
I was just speaking with someone, (well fussing at him), about going out with some of his female friends. His friends were going to a swingers party. He stated that he was going with his friends because they were homosexuals and he didn't have to worry about cheating on his girlfriend. I said (because I know him), "but receiving oral sex from them is still cheating whether you penetrate or not." He begged to differ.
I fell cheating is cheating no matter what form it is. If you are doing anything sexually inappropriate with someone other than the one you are committed to, in my opinion, that constitutes as cheating. It doesn't matter to me if it is just a text message with graphic sexual content.
I have noticed that people use oral sex as an excuse of not cheating. It is just as dangerous as having sexual intercourse, you can still transmit STD's whether oral, vaginal or anal. (Don't get me started on people saying anal sex is not cheating...Really!?). Cheating can involve several elements of inappropriate behavior and oral sex is a form of cheating (Hence the word 'Sex' followed by oral).
I'm just saying... Your thoughts?

EPIC FAIL!!!
So, I started this weekend on a quest to write 20,000 words. unfortunately, everything possible went wrong this weekend...so far. My son got sick at school which filtered over to his evening last night and him being unable to stay at the planned dance. Instead of having a quiet night at home to write, my kids left the dance early and my family came over to check on my son. I did not even get an empty house until after 1am. Not that I am complaining because I am extremely appreciative of my family.
This morning I woke up ready to write only to get the sad news of a family member passing. It has really affected me and I am not anywhere close to being focused enough to write. I have decided I will try again next weekend. I will continue to do some publicity this weekend but I do not think I will do much writing.
Until next time...
