I remember a conversation I heard while deployed to Afghanistan. I group of 30 something black men were discussing Obama’s chances at the Oval Office. One in particular commented Obama didn’t have a chance of being elected because he’s married to a black woman.

Michelle, is not Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, or Carly Simon black. She’s just black. I’m personally not used to seeing a black with Obama’s high ambitions being attracted to, let alone being married to a black woman.

And I don’t actually care. I was shocked for about 5 seconds. And then I started thinking about food.

I still haven’t written any serious posts about our President.

At least crossfit is short (but intense). The only thing worse than working out, is working out for hours.

I wish I had more to blog about but I’m tired and I have to get up at 0400 hours to pray. So off to bed I go!

My graphic tonight is super lame.

I remember the monsoon season in Korea. Once the rain started, it never seemed to stop. It made living difficult because the buildings I worked and lived in molded.

I wish I could find all those pictures. I must have them on my iPod.

Dang. I need to get better file management.

Anyways, in a few weeks, I’ll be able to go take some photos of the poppy reserve. I don’t think the flowers will bloom like they did in 2005 but I still like to get out there with my point and shoot and take some pics.

It seemed to rain all day today. The rain always makes me a little depressed. I came home did some shopping and took a very, very long nap.

My body aches from crossfit. I need to dope myself up and get back to sleep.

Note: This post was indeed posted on March 6; however, because the servers were down, I could only post it to my blogger blog at shavonnesworld.blogspot.com.

Something for me to ponder.

I want to take some classes to get certified on a trikke. I would really enjoy riding a trikke. I just can’t figure out how to move it.

That’s it for today. Hopefully I will have something to report for tomorrow.

I finished reading Am I Making Myself Clear? Good read. If you’ve read Dale Carnagie’s book, How to Win Friends and Influence People or Frank Betzger’s How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling then you’ve read Am I Making Myself Clear?

This week I’m reading John Maxwell’s Developing the Leader within You. I can’t wait to finish it.

Well, I’m going to go to bed now. I have to get up early and get ready for work. I also have to get my workout clothes together for tomorrow. I’m going to participate in some cross fit training. I’m not looking forward to it either because I don’t want to deal with my hair.

I also need to make an appointment to get my taxes done but I want to call my mentor to ask some questions about filing my taxes.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my hair lately and how much time I spend on it when I do put effort in how it looks and I how it doesn’t seem like I do anything to it when I do spend time on it.  The only thing stopping me from getting Sisterlocks is not having seen them on someone in person. I have the money but when it comes to doing something more permanent with my hair, I want to ensure it’s really what I want.

So if anybody with Sisterlocks is reading this, and you live in Southern California, and some skinny chick runs up to your asking you a million questions about your hair, don’t beat her down with your purse or whatever you happen to have in your hand. It’s just me and I want to get a good look at your hair.

I really should have gone to workout tonight. I just need to do it. Both of them. The hair and the workout.
