I am sitting here watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and about to help my mom cook dinner. But after last nights (still on going) drama in
Mumbai, I am really thankful and blessed today. Last night I was mad and tired and stressed from work and lack of money and when I was ready to come home and bitch about it, I saw the news(The BBC version because they show everything!), I was thrown deep into reality. All the issues in your life many seem major and life changing, but somewhere in the world their problems are life ending. So this Thanksgiving lets not just get stuffed with food, but with the blessings and thanks that you are breathing. Like from my favorite Gay movie about Mormons and sex - Latter Days:
Well, when I was a little kid, I use to put my nose right up to them. And I was just amazed because it looked like this mass of dots, and none of it made sense until I pulled back. Life looks like that mass of dots to me sometimes. None of it makes any sense, but I like to think that, from God's perspective, life, everything - even this - make sense. It's not just dots. Instead we're all connected, and it's beautiful and funny and good. This close we can't expect it to make sense, not right now.

First off let me say that I didn't know that TRIFLING was an actual word until someone told me about a week or two ago! I just thought some ghetto chick used it in a rap song and then everyone started using it! Anyway, back to the story.... If you happen to see the Macy's Day Parade today, then you probably saw this young lady perform on one of the floats. Her name is Shontelle, she is a new artist, and her label probably thought this opportunity would show her off to the millions of people that watch it every year! Well, I don't understand why she sang the song "T-Shirt" which was not at all appropriate for todays festivities, I mean a Christmas song or anything else would've been fine. Also, since this was her first big appearance they should have had her looking a lot less hagged (crazy looking or like you just got out of bed) than she was. But the trifling moment was when she almost fell off the float TWICE!! which was not her fault because the driver must have been tipsy pumping the controls like that!! Now everyone that didn't already know her is just gonna remember her as "the black girl who almost fell off the float twice and tried to play it off" so I apologize here and now for laughing at her and then calling Peaches to laugh some more but it was kinda funny.
