Top reasons to have a CAT!
08/18/2008
There was a time where I didn’t like cats. That was because I was unaware of the characteristics that make them so special.
I think everyone with out allergies should invest in a pet cat and here are reasons why:
1. My main reason is that- it could be 100 degrees outside or (-10), but it wouldn’t be as big a deal as having to walk the dog every day, twice a day!
2. Cats are clean! – show them just one time where to use the bathroom and they know from that moment – this is my bathroom. Forget to clean it and they won’t use it… picky but clean!
3. If it moves, it’s a toy, then they eat or kill it once they are done. (same with the non-living things in your home-remember curiosity killed the cat so make your home safe for the cat!)
4. Every time you step in the door, you will be greeted with a warm friendly ‘meow’ meaning welcome home boss!
5. They will love you- just as a dog- because you provide food and water and protection.
6. They can be trained, with patience, some good snacks and time.
7. They are quiet.
8. They are cute and cuddly.
9. They will always land n their feet!
10. You won’t be late for work because the cat will wake you up to feed it!
Those are my top reasons to have a cat. Do you need anymore?

Tears filled my eyes one day…
It was in the spring of 1993, I was 11 years old and I remember sitting in the cafeteria/auditorium and feeling particularly left out at the end of dance class. At that time I was in the fifth grade and we were practicing for a recital using the song by Queen Latifah “Ladies First”.
I was upset over a conversation a few friends were having on techno music. I can still remember wondering, “Techno music?” as they shared names of favorite songs and albums. The issue was that at that age, you want to be able to share things with your friends, add to the conversation, feel connected and so on. It’s not so much a follow the leader type of scenario, it was more of a belonging to a group case. [I hope you understand my standpoint.]
So, aside from not having the ‘in’ things until about a year or two later, whether it was the yoyo, jumbo pacifier, windbreakers, adidas or nike’s, now I didn’t even know or have an idea about techno music. So, I just burst into tears. (chuckles) I remember two of my classmates asking me what was wrong and I remember my weeping reply, “I don’t know what techno is!”
To say the least, they giggled at the situation and I probably would have done the same thing if I knew what it was but I didn’t, I just felt left out. Now-a-days it amuses me how something so simple seemed as important as putting food on the table and maintaining a comfortable life. I can clearly see the major differences between adolescent and adulthood.
Anyway, let me get back to my point for this blog which is music. I chose this because it was something I’ve always felt a connection to, [especially when it makes my hairs stand up].
Just last night, I was browsing YouTube and I came across songs that invoked memories of a time that I never thought would end or that I couldn’t see changing. At 11 years old, reaching the age of 18 still seems a long way off, but before you know it, you’re in your late 20′s. Like me, here I am 15 years later- and yea, times have changed and I have grown. I admit it was never something I felt happening but when I place my memories in front of the mirror-the reflection of change is abundant. [I still get i.d.'d for my Newports-its flattering] But all in all being glad that I was faced with this realization came another realization: life has been good despite it’s obstacles.
Simply put, memories that make me feel good inside and proud of everything else is the kind of fuel that hope needs so that it could gain strength for the will that drives me towards my future and goals.
So, I put together a selection of songs that I’d like to share with you as a result.
