Amanda Knox Convicted
Do you all remember that American College student that was charged with murder of her roommate in Italy? The trial lasted a very long year. They convicted her of murder, sentencing her to 26 yrs in prison. Her ex-boyfriend was sentenced to 25 years. It was a very strange case from the start with allegations of a twisted sex game that ended in the death of Meredith Kercher. Read more about her story at WSJ.

Same-Sex Marriage A No Go In NYC
Touchy subject for most. I mean can we just allow people to be happy? No, yes maybe? Why are people so hell-bent in making others miserable. Think about it, not just same-sex marriage but in many aspects of life. People make things so difficult and for what exactly. Not everything should be given a rubber stamp of approval. But, if two women or men feel that they make each other happy enough to marry each other is it really my business or anyone else. I know plenty of heterosexuals that have no business being married, let alone contemplation of the idea but we allow them to do so. Can we just live life and allow others to do the same! NY, I’m surprised. SMH!

The President’s Plan
Do you think President Obama’s plan is the answer? Did he put all his efforts into Afghanistan, just as Bush did in Iraq? I mean what can you logically decide to do in such a situation. His administration has inherited this war. How do you make a wrong, right? Can you? Or do you just strategize and try and determine the best decision to make for not only the American people, but the Afghan people and all involved. Making a decision about a war is more than a head scratcher. I think it would be great to just depart, bring the troops home. But, then there are always consequences, for instance no civilian structure for the Afghan people would be in place. There will always be a “but” or “consider our troops” statement etc. Either way you slice it, it’s difficult. Let’s just pray on the situation. That’s my answer for everything!

WTH Tiger…
Damn, Damn, Damn lol! I’m so dramatic 
I guess not even the squeaky clean ones can get it together. “Had some transgressions…” you damn right, I’m paraphrasing by the way. I can’t understand why men cheat, well that’s a lie. I understand, but before cheating you have a few options:
-Let the wife or girlfriend go…walk away from the situation. No? Do you agree?
-Try and make the relationship more interesting…perhaps you (the man) is the one making the whole situation boring and tired!
I’m just saying *wink*!
But, really I think it’s for him and his wife to figure out. But, for PR purposes he may want to address the situation so the media and everyone can forget. They will continue to chastise him until he does so. Sad to say, the media is so mischievous!
Fela!
The HOT new musical about the Nigerian singer, composer and activist, Fela Kuti. The musical was choreographed by the very accomplished Bill T. Jones and produced by Jay-Z and Will & Jada Pinkett Smith. I have heard rave reviews from my cousin, Aunt and girlfriend. It’s a must see for the holidays. I believe you can get orchestra seats for 20% off …I’ll let you know where and how! Check the link for more info!
Read Any Good Books Lately…
My girlfriends and I have started a book club! I need to read more than just a law book. We’re gonna start with Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. He is also the author of Tipping Point and Blink. Those books have been on my reading list, will get to it after the first read. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Let me know what you think about his other books!
Frugalista Find!
So, as promised I found a less expensive similar pair of boots! I love these Steve Madden’s! Ok, so they are a little over a $100 at $169.95, but still better than the other $300 pair. Plus, now that its Christmas shopping season they are guaranteed to be on sale any day now. If, you buy them on the Steve Madden site you get free shipping! Oh yeah, this is my KISS pick of the week and on my wish list if anyone is reading and wants to get me a supa dupa pair of sexy boots *wink*
