Thanks I really appreciate it your comment. Its nice to know people like what I'm doing. I guess I am very frustrated right now! LOL! I received a letter from another writer the other day he told me to never surrender so I won't. I just get jaded sometimes with rejection but I guess every writer goes through that.I'm an emotional kind of a person I say what I'm feeling. I really like my blog now its an outlet for me to express my thoughts and emotions. Hello Dennis I was thinking about that, getting my own domain and really fixing my site up.

I totally agree about the Hingis controversy. Mary Carillo is a racist termagant she simply cannot be taken seriously. Its not surprising how the mainstream USA media frames the issue of race and the social constructions of gender in the public sphere. Hi Kia thanks for reading my blog!

The spin on this Hingis coverage here in the States is a wonderful example of whitewashing. Granted tennis is a B story at best but Carillo's comments that she's sure Hingis isn't an addict are priceless.The whole way this is going down is extremely suspect. Why would an innocent person (of means) not fight to clear their name? And if it was "just" coke why not do the obligatory stint in rehab, (more to rehab your image than anything else) and be done w/ it? Can you imagine if a person of color was pulling this both tests are wrong bs? Anyway, keeping writing, I enjoy visiting with you : ) !

Are you in university? Its okay that you don't "agree" with everything I say because wouldn't it be boring if we all "agreed" with each other on everything? In life the diversity of opinion is important. Remember my words are only my personal opinions. I am no spokesperson and I am nobody's role model. Hello Golden wow are you? Are you in university?
