North American International Auto Show

Hello Everybody!! It's that time of year again. The jewel of the winter for us Detroiters and automobile lovers. Yes!! It's time for the North American International Auto Show! This post is just to give you a little back ground about the show the show starts January 18 through the 26. 

Detroit has hosted an auto show for over a century. For the first few decades of its presence, however, the show's concentration was strictly regional. Then, in 1987, an imaginative group of auto dealers within the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) wonder why the show was not a truly international event. Achieving this objective within only a few years' time, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) follows a vision of frequently redefining what it means to be an essential international event. To accomplish this goal, the NAIAS continually introduces bold new ways to enrich attendees' experiences and deliver brilliant value to media, industry and the public.

NAIAS 2013 was a true gala of the vehicle and a rally of the strength and resiliency of the auto business. People was doubting the show could bring anyone to its doors with the reason bail out drama. They were wrong. Nowhere was that more clearly seen than on the show floor where companies revealed over 60 of their most remarkable new vehicles, showcasing them before international onlookers of some of the world's most influential media and the all-important car-buying public. The show was a true image of a strong, vibrant and more confident industry. International media numbers were up, Industry Preview saw more attendees, and Charity Preview elevated 30 percent more than the 2012 event and total ticketed attendance was the highest since 2004. NAIAS 2013 was a two-week celebration of cars, technology and industry self-reliance.

The North American International Auto Show 2014 is where the global automotive community comes together to catch up on the latest news and events. Join more of your peers from around the world at the industry's most substantive annual event. In addition to some of the automotive world's most eagerly anticipated new vehicle premieres, you'll gain unprecedented access to more of the industry's top leaders and thinkers than anywhere else in the hemisphere. What a great way to build up the hype for the celebration of the 25th anniversary for this year!

Season of Giving

This is the season of giving and with Christmas being only 2 days away, we need to remember it's always better to give than to receive. Even when the holiday season is over, you should never stop giving. Growing up in a city known for its love of the "finer things" in life, or as some would call it "The Home of the Players". It's always nice to see the news talk about people who actually helps the community instead of people who just steal from it. Giving back is a topic that is near and dear to my heart, and I hope to show everyone how important it is to us as human beings.

One day I was watching tv, when I saw a news story about this  group of Detroiters helping people in need. Two local women Jessica Ramirez and Michelle Colon helping who ever need it. They do this all year round not just doing the holiday.  To read more of the news coverage

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ME TO YOU *MUAH*

Travyon Martin

I know this picture has been all over facebook and instagram. I just had to put my two cents on it. I don't want to sound racist, but here it go again people making fun of something so serious in the black community and the country. The fact that this girl (picture in the middle) had the balls to post this on her social media page just upset me. How can you think this is OK? I would you feel if that was your family member and for Halloween people made from of your tragedy? The issue of black face has been around for years. A lot of young people do not know this but it was a time when black people had to perform in black face just like their white counterpart. I just think that this picture is disgusting and in poor taste. I feel like now-a-day people are not trying to see it from our (black community) point of view.

I am call for all my youth to speak out against this mistreatment of the legacy of Travyon Martin! Do not let people think that this funny or OK to do. It is not funny or a joke. That young man was gun down like a animal for no reason, and for you to make fun or light of it is a dis-Justice. Enough is Enough!!!! Just because the justice system fail us do not mean black people give up the fight. NO!! arm your self with education. Learn about your history..ALL OF IT. Learn the working of your government, and fight to change the way we are viewed in the country and the world. I'm tired of seeing my people just go with the flow..its time for us to be the true leaders we was born to be.

Are Ladies the new "MAN" now?

Everyone who knows me know that I am a very simple girl. The most simple things can bring a smile to my face and joy in my heart. With that being said, its also known that I dream big and go for those said dreams. I work hard to make my dreams come true, and help as many people as I can along the way. Due to this "go getta" attitude I have, a love life is hard to have.

I notice every guy I date complain that I don't have time for them. This is funny to me because I tell them all at the beginning all the things I do and want to achieve in life. Now, they are acting like little babies. Don't get it wrong, I love that a guy wants to be with me, but when it gets to the point it seems like you just free all the time because you always call or texting me. That's a big problem. I remembered a time when girls use to have to beg for a guy to spend time with them, now it's the other way around.

I don't know what it is. It seems like guys in my generation(i mean most guys not all) have no dreams, goals, and future plans. Once they come around a woman with goals, she is doing everything she can to make those dreams come true... all of a sudden she "stuck up" or "playing games" what's up with that? Don't you guys want that in a woman? I'm just saying. A woman that's strong enough to stand on her own beside you, strong enough to "pick up the tab" some times, and woman that can be your lover, friend, and most of all your support system. Now, when I say support system, I mean someone who helps you up when life kicks you down, some one who keeps you on the track to YOUR dream and not the dream you think that would impress her, and someone to just keep you motives you to go father than your current normal.

I just don't get it. I'm not saying that guys don't have the same issues with us ladies because they do. I'm speaking from what I see. Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to hear from you. Leave your comments and thoughts on this topic. Fellas tell me what you are looking for in a partner and same thing goes to you too ladies.

KICK ASS 2 REVIEW

                First if you did not see the first Kick Ass, I would highly suggest you see it before you see KICK ASS 2. It makes it much easier to relate to the characters in the movie. I will start off by saying; I thought the movie was going to be dreadful because the sequel never do as good as the first. For me, going into this movie my hope was indeed low.  Once the first ten minutes passed; the action speeds up.  I would say, now I understand why Jim Carrey would not support the movie due to the brawl scenes in the movie.  To all parents, the movie is rated R!!! With this in mind, do not let your child or teen see this movie unless they are 18

years old. This is a great movie!! Due to all the gun violence we as a country experience, I strong suggest that parents open the line of commutations with their children. Talk to them about violence and what to do if they see violence of any kind. It would be a great idea to go see the movie with your teenager (I strongly suggest no child under the age of 18 even with an adult supervision to see this movie).

                Throughout the movie, I could see there was an underline of self-pride and accepts. The characters accept who they were with or without the masks on. I also saw and it’s real obvious at the end for people to take action and not be just stand and blend into the background.  The movie to me was about help your fellow man and to use the negative in your life to positively help or influence someone or the world around you. The movie also touches on the problem us as a society has which is bullying. As a former child of bullying I could relate to the two main characters on their problems of “fitting in” and figuring out who they are. The movie does that wonderfully and funny way.

Now the action, here’s the hard part. I really cannot tell you much about the action scenes cause then I basely gave away the whole movie. I will say that the action will leave you on the edge of your sit!

Parents no matter what your children/teenager tells you. THE MOVIE IS RATED R!!! Do not let your children see this movie if they are underage even if you will be with them. DO NOT LET THEM WATCH THE MOVIE!! Even if they are 18, you know what your child can handle mentally. I could tell you more, but why would I ruin the movie for you. Go and enjoy the movie.

The Mrs. Carter Show, Detroit Dedication

Even Beyonce , Mrs Carter herself can see nothing can stop us.  Start doing things to change the problem and push on. Don't sit and whine about what's wrong or who is in office or  who have the power of the city. If you don't like it change it!  As my dad use to tell me " someone made it off the boat, someone made it off the plantation, so no matter what you come up against there is no reason for you not making it" I love my home town and I started this blog because I became tired of seeing negative reports about Detroit in Detroit and on the national scale. I understand the city have major issues that need to be taken care of in the best way possible, but all the killing, attacks, and stealing have to stop. This blog is to uplift my city and bring light to the good and positive things that are here in Detroit. Detroit help build this country car by car, so don't let this city go down in ruins. I'm doing my part by showing all the good in the city. Mark Wahlberg have an interview on a late night showing saying how he had to convince his wife to come and vacation here, and the only reason she didn't want to come is because of what she heard about us on the news. He got her to come and she enjoy her time here. People, yes we have crime and money issues, but name one city or state in this country that do not have the same problems or worst. I say this to say I love my hometown. Detroit made me and now it's time to remake Detroit
