According to him. I heard him and my issue and apparently every democrats issue has been the same. “Electability.” Thus although I was secretly routing for a black man to take a seat in the Oval Office I knew in my heart he no chance of being elected. The Clintons are too smart, and Mark Penn is probably the best political strategist in the world. Continue reading ‘The Sweep Wave’

A rebuttal from Ethio-Girl
Hello let me introduce myself. My name is CONFUSED. Yes, that is my name .I was not always called CONFUSED. In fact before I was Confused the Girl I was also the proud owner of 2 other more conventional names so you can see why I opted for a third, if you don’t see it join me in being confused but leave the name to me, however confused you might be I can outdo you and truly live to my name’s expectation which are many and varied.
People like to use variations of the meaning of my chosen name So I am called Perplexed or Bemused or Baffled or Bewildered and the worst is Lost which I am not , it exasperates me that I have to explain that no I did not choose to call myself any of those names even if they mean the same thing as my Confused….I chose Confused because it is clear enough what it means but for a tiny second when I introduce myself it sounds like Confucius which raises eyebrows the shape of a question then the eyebrows come back down replaced by a look of amusement and the questions start:….

I have said that I am not much of a believer for the resolution phenomenon, but that didn’t stop bernos blog readers from emailing me to write a post asking readers to list their New Years resolutions.
The year in review, 2007 was worthy in my personal life. In February I mentioned in the bernos press that I would like to resolve two issues that have been lingering in my life; as I had been working on both for about 3 years; …slowly but surely.
This past year was good, the most stable and consistent part of my years, a sign that I am getting older and becoming boringly more consistent. It has its virtues though. The latter 3 months were very hectic as I received stumbling blocks after blocks as I have written. Continue reading ‘year in review’

It was no surprise that I would dream of a person I had seen only twice. Magical moments and surprise stunners of beauty and kind hearts are meant to be dreamt.
So this time, I had dreamt of a beautiful lady whom I’ve fancied quite a bit. I still remember the very first moment I saw her. It was around 6 months ago in the hot summer of 2007 at a casual friends’ BBQ gatherings. She was a new face to all of us; and fairly a new comer to the western culture. But not new enough to feel out of place.
I remember the first time I noticed her laughing. She laughes as if it’s the last time she will ever laugh again, and she smiles everytime she talks and listens. I was mesmerized and caught in between wonders of where this young beautiful creature had fallen from. Continue reading ‘She was in my dream’
