I knew better...

I let someone borrow some money, actually, this is on another level, I got a loan for someone, and the deal was that they would give me my money at the beginning of the month until it was paid off. Well, the money for the loan comes right out of my check, so it gets paid. But the problem is, this person, pays me when it's convenient. If something is going on, I get my money late. Then when I say something, it's like I'm the bad guy. But, I blame myself, I knew better. If a person can't get a loan (not even for a lot of money), there is probably a reason. If you know a person doesn't pay there bills, chances are, this person isn't going to pay you either. But, I tried to be nice and help said person out. Well, I'm not the kind of person to hold things over your head, but, this person does not have to ever worry about me putting my name on anything else for them, and borrowing money, huh, forget it. I need my money just like everyone else needs theirs. It's a good thing I'm not struggling for that money every month, or we would have a serious problem. Needless to say, this is a mistake I won't be making again.

This Country...

I grew up in a neighborhood where I was called a n*gga by the other kids.  Not on the regular, but at least once that I can recall... 

I played volleyball and I was the only black girl on the team...

I went to a school where I was the only black person in class 90% of the time...

I never thought I would see the day when a black man and a white woman would be the front runners in a democratic race for the president.  I never thought I would see the day where the Republican Vice President pick would be a woman.  Especially a woman with a child with down sydrome, and another child pregnant at 17.  Now, I understand that teen pregnancy is an issue in this country, but if we should look to any family to be an example, shouldn't it be in the white house?  

On another note, Serena beat Venus, and I'm happy about that....
