I attended two political forums today to educate myself on politics. They were great. At the forum sponsored by 21st Ward Alderman Howard Brookins, A LOT of politicians appeared. I was upset because I had to leave. The second event was a discussion between the candidates running for the Cook County president seat held at…

Nothing is Being Seen on As NOT Seen on TV
On my quest to find “perfect” topics for As NOT Seen on TV, I have done absolutely nothing. There is so much I can write about, and yet, I have done nothing. Not good. So far, most of my topics I’ve found have been about African American women. While I would prefer multicultural topics, I…
The Staff of Government Officials are a Trip!
I visited the office of one of my government officials today. I took two copies of my business information in one folder. She made the comment about me being wrong for doing it. I asked her if there was a problem. She said, “You brought information like this in one folder to the secretary of…
Progress Report
God is good. Got my brochures for The Write Design Company today. They look nice! I requested some sample bags from Bags N Bows. Now, all I have to is get more business cards. That should be done tomorrow. I created a quick postcard for Shorty: Your Chicago South Side Resource. The theme for the…
The Mental is Powerful
I find myself turning off my thought processes these days if my thoughts turn negative. That’s a really strange feeling since my mind is always going. Seriously. Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me because the thing won’t stop working. I mean….I’m glad it working, but the rate of my waves is sometimes…
More Work for Shorty

I Think I Might Be Sensitive
Yes, I am am sensitive when it comes to my writing. Someone said something to me today via e-mail and I got offended. It wasn’t anything bad; it was just my reaction to it. I don’t know why I reacted. I think I’m overly emotional these days because I am so close to my goal. …
Roller Skating Memories & Goals
Yesterday a guy at the skating rink told me that he remembered when I couldn’t skate. Yeah, me too! I’m glad that is only a memory. So, I set a couple skating goals this year. First, I’m going to master all of my edges. I’ve got to have it. Second, I’m going to learn some…
I Think I Want to Teach Writing to Teens
After much consideration I have decided to create a writing program for teens. I’m going to do it after school a couple days a week. I have no solid idea right now, I’m just glad to have a clue. I think I can hang with a 2 day a week program for 4 weeks and…
People Have Ugly Names
I have run into lots of people with ugly names lately. Ugh! While Marcie is not the best name in the world, it sure doesn’t like the names I’ve heard lately. All I have to ask: what were the parent or caregiver thinking?? I think I would have changed my name when I got old…
