Show Halted over N-Word...

MIAMI -- A performance by stand up comedian Eddie Griffin was stopped after he used the N-word repeatedly, a magazine's spokesman said Wednesday.

I am glad to see that organizations out there can and will take action when ANYONE uses that word or any other word that is deemed inappropriate. I also hope that this spreads so that the people in the black community can understand that the word is terrible regardless to who is saying it. I have heard the many excuses as to why they can say it and no one else and that they have been the people of shame and that the use of it is ok because their the ones using it and no the white people. A friend of mine who is black agrees with me that this definitely has to stop now, even if it means canceling a performance.

First-grader dropped off on wrong side of river

Little Najaé Pettaway got off the yellow school bus after the first day of school at the same corner, just like last year.
But Najaé, 6, doesn’t live there anymore. Not even close. She lives on the other side of the river, in East Toledo.

Now something like this happens pretty much anywhere, thankfully the end results were good and not a tragedy. I can understand how a child might be placed in a group to board a bus mistakenly. I am wondering will they implement a new policy where each teacher will have a roll call list of each of their students noting which bus they are to board so that they don't have to rely on a computer that might go down because of something either breaking it or possibly spilling on it. If this was done before the coolant leak they would of simply relied on the list to get the kids home safely. Hopefully they will create such a list so that parents at home don't have to wait in anticipation to see if their child will or will not come out through those bright yellow doors. My daughter had that same problem just yesterday when one of the bus monitors (adults) told her to get on a bus she knew wasn't the right one and proceeded to tell the monitor that this is not her bus but the adult wouldn't let her explain. So she ended up missing her bus while the monitor simply said nothing and went back in the building. I ended up leaving work so that I can pick her up, I told her that regardless to what any of the monitors says about what bus she is to ride she knows exactly what bus to ride and where to catch it. Some of the assistants are trying to remember faces and names and I'm glad for that effort but if the student knows for a fact what bus they ride home please don't ignore the student just listen and be brave enough to say "I'm sorry, I've made a mistake".

A Great Night!

Last night had to be one of my best moments in having fun thus far here in Toledo. We attended the CityFest last night and it turned out great, they had the usual foods and vendors but the real reason as to why we went was because of the famous man himself 'Eddie Money'. We had a blast watching him perform more then twelve songs and then an extra two songs for an encore. I have heard most of his music when I was younger but I didn't know the artist that sang them until last night. Two Tickets to Paradise is one of my favorites along with Take Me Home Tonight. The crowd that was there was completely excited and definitely enjoying themselves. I hope that next year's attraction will be as awesome as Eddie was.

Growing up in the eighties I knew a few guys who loved their knives but they would all fall short when it cam to my dad's swiss army knife. They used to ask him if they can borrow it when they went camping with their parents.

The results...

Last night the wife and I ended up having a third game of Monopoly which ended up in a tie of sorts. We owned a few properties that were of high value so all we kept doing was take money from each other and then giving it back later on. We did this for about an hour before we decided to stop. We saved the game and hoped that one day we might continue that game and see where it ends. We plan on playing Trivial Pursuit 90's Edition, I plan on winning this endeavor tonight. I took a sneak peak at this game it looks to be a little bit easier then the original Trivial Pursuit.

The good ole days...

I spent most of my afternoon looking through YouTube trying to find some cartoons from the eighties. My wife and I found afew that we remember and we also found some that were just a little too disturbing. The image you see to the right is that of the Thundercats, well this one is a remake of the original. While growing up I didn't realize how much these cartoons actually influenced some of my decisions as a young kid. Their messages would sound corny now but back then they really meant more to the watching audience. God I miss my childhood.
