This week’s Wednesday Beauty is Zambian beauty Nasilele. Her smile could brighten the darkest room! If you’re down today, I hope her smile, lifted your spirits if only for a few seconds. Michael Flaherty’s photo captured her beauty perfectly.
And don’t forget to check out Michael Flaherty Flickr’s photo stream for even more fantastic photos!
Today’s Wednesday Beauty is another anonymous beauty from Flickr. The shot was taken by DiverseblkBeauty and is titled After The Storm. And after a day of protesting or a really long, bad day she’s definitely a sight for sore eyes. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!
This week’s Wednesday Beauty is Shai White.
I love the colors and tones in this shot. Check out the photographer, Chris Willis’ other work on flickr.com.
Since I always have a lot to say and I love making silly one line comments..Twitter is perfect for me tonight during the debates, I’ve decided to tweet the GOP debate and do a follow up blog after the debate like a ‘real’ reporter! Follow me on twitter @blackliberal.
Dear People,
Political fever has me in its’ grasps once again.
That means a return to blogging and writing.
I wouldn’t bore you with any of my lame blogger excuses, I’ve been away for a multitude of reasons some self-imposed, some were imposed upon me but I’m back and actually I couldn’t think of a better way to return to the blogosphere than blogging about tonight’s GOP Presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
It’s the first debate to feature Presidential Candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry and of course everybody is asking will Perry and Mitt Romney mix it up on the stage? You know I have a feeling that if these two men, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, were in a physical brawl Perry would win hands down..but hey debating isn’t brawling at least that’s what my debating coach used to tell me..ha!
On another note, to all those that continued to visit my blog during my exile thank you so much for your comments and for taking a few seconds to peruse the archives and I hope that’ll I’ve a lot more interesting and thought provoking blogs for you to read and comment on from here on out.
Once again thank you and let’s hope that my political fever lasts a long, long, long time.
Black Liberal
Ok, go ahead and yell at me. I deserve it. I really do deserve to be yelled at and I promise to not get mad or to yell back at you.
I know you’re used to me taking long breaks from blogging but this has definitely been my longest break so far and I’ve probably lost quite a few of my most loyal fans and readers. To you should you ever return to Conversations With An Unapologetic Black Liberal I offer you my sincerest apology and I hang my head in shame. In fact I’m hanging it right now…lol.
So why have I been away for this long? It’s not because I don’t have a lot to talk about with the 2010 midterm elections right around the corner and the Democratic majority in danger and all the crap they seem to be doing..I have loads to talk about..and it’s not because I got bored either although I will admit those were some of my past reasons. Nope, this time I have a great reason—–I’ve started a business. And I’m in the final stages of establishing it. Meaning I’m about to sign the lease and I should start moving my inventory to the location by the middle of November!
Now, I wish I could give you all the details right now so that you can share in my excitement but I can’t. I’m still holding a few of my cards to my chest as usual but I promise you that I will now try to dedicate at least one hour a day to blogging.
And while I can’t promise to never, ever take a break again bloggers need vacations too you know? I will promise to never stay away as long as I have this last time.
Now, let’s start the journey once again.
Yesterday I went on one of my Google adventures and guess what/who I came across?
The Westboro Baptist Church!! You know those people that pickets the funeral of veterans and high schools claiming that we’re being punished for tolerance?
Honestly, I don’t know how I ended up on their page but you know how one click, leads to another click and then another suddenly you’re on the website of a bunch of crazy, homophobic people who live in Kansas.
Some of the things these people say OMG!!
Well, anyway like all my Google adventures this one had a happy ending I found this great site Phelps-a-thon.com that uses the protests of Fred Phelps (he’s the founder of the Church) and his band of crazies to raise funds for the local gay/straight alliance or LGBT community centers where Phelps and his haters (and they really are haters) are holding their protest
Isn’t that awesome? Not an original concept I know using hate to spread love but it’s still wicked!! And the best part is after the protest they send Phelps a thank you card telling him how much money he helped them raise! DOUBLE WICKED!!!!
At phelps-a-thon.com you can see where the haters are going to be next and send the counter protesters a few dollars of encouragement. Phelps and his haters will be protesting on May 22nd at Key West High School, Key West Florida from 3:45 PM to 4:15 PM and if you can and only if you can donate a little something to the local Gay Straight Alliance of Key West, Florida.
We want that frown on Phelps’ face to reach the floor after he reads that thank you card..LOL
I found this out in one of my Google adventures. Google adventure-my term for a pointless or random web search that can you lead you anywhere.
Anyway, this four day Islamic Fashion Festival was held in Kuala Lumpur last year. From November 24th-27th 44 designers showcased their designs for muslim women.
I didn’t have a clue that such an event existed. The clothes..umm..er..let’s just say they aren’t my style but what I found really interesting were the models and the blogs about Islamic fashion.
The runway models were all different heights, sizes and ages. Now, I don’t think we would ever see such variety on a western runway but if you think about it the idea of having women of all diferent sizes modeling clothes is well kinda liberating.
I can’t take it anymore…lol
Do you know that feeling you get after eating a big thanksgiving meal, when you know you should’ve stopped after the third helping of mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce? Well, i’m starting to feel like that when it comes to the Obama converage.
Don’t get me wrong I love it but it’s just too much for a black liberal to take….I’ve never been high in my life but I imagine this is what it must feel like sensory overload..Obama is on everywhere..lol
I’m going to watch the PBS documentary on George Bush Snr for a minute just to calm down.
Can you believe I said that? LOL
