Eye Surgery! Ouch! But Independence is Worth The Pain

I've had two eye surgeries in the last 10 months, and take it from me when I say they are no fun!

The first one I had was in March 2011, and it was to decompress my eyes -- both of them!

I had a brain tumor in 2005 and had thyroid disease, and both caused my eyes to protrude from their sockets. It looked ugly, but more importantly it cause my eyes discomfort as too much air was getting to them. I also had a slight case of double vision. I was no longer able my car. I was at the mercy of others for transportation. No fun!

Okay . . . This Man is Almost TOO COOL To Be Pres!

I'm sorry, guys . . . but anytime you got a guy as fine, intelligent, and suave as President Barak Obama, and then find out he's so cool he can just calmly sing a few bars of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" while Green was in the house!
And . . . yeah . . . the house just happened to be the world famous Apollo Theater.
Uh, huh . . . I don't know about y'all, but I think he just earned my vote! LOL
(Oh! And for those who want to criticize me for being shallow enough to vote for someone simply because he has swagger, please get a sense of humor --  and a life -- and leave mine alone. Thank you, very much) 

Obama As A Chia Pet? Really???

Can you believe it? I couldn't? I first saw a commercial for it late yesterday afternoon and then again a couple of hours ago. I wondered . . . is this a joke? A racist joke at that? I mean, it was alarming watching the commercial and seeing Obama's green afro grow before our eyes. (I guess it didn't bother the makers of the toy that Obama does not sport an afro!)And just it time for Christmas, no less!

But a little investigation shows that the Obama Chia Pet has been on sale since January 2009. I don't know why I've never seen a commercial for it before . . . maybe they're only now doing television advertising? And, and it turns out, Obama is not only the president to be embodied as a chia pet . . . they have one for Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington, too! Along with chia Statue of Liberty and Hilary Clinton.

So, maybe . . . as the commercial say, having an Obama Chia Pet shows you're proud to be an American?

But before you decide, take a look at the Chia Pet in action.

Now . . .What say you??
