New Month New Background

Hello Everyone!!!

It is the second day of March 2014!!! In spirit of this month I changed my background once again. Yes, St. Patty's Day is this month on the 17th. I don't partake in this holiday, but I know so many that do. :) As you know from my new year post, I will be changing my background in honor of the month's holiday. Remember on the 8th of the month it is Women's Day! So if you have a special woman in your life show her some love( you should her love every day of the year and not just one or two days). This is a short post, but I just had to show you guys and ladies some love and until next time. *muah*

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!

New Age Bullying

On this topic, I have mix emotions, so I'm keep it short. The educated woman in me is all for ending all types of bullying, but the bullied little girl in me is screaming "fuck that!!! I was bullied and every adult in my life knew, but they counter act the bullying by raising me and gave me encouragements and self esteem."

I know bullying is wrong. In all honesty, it needs to end like yesterday. To every child/teen who are being bullied or have been bullied, don't let any one's negative words hurt you. Remember it's not your fault, the problem do not live in you it lives in the other person. Trust me, just follow your dreams and keep doing what puts a smile on your face, and when you are on the top you see how a rough sand paper can only polish a diamond, but it can not hurt it. I have this question. What are you going to do to the parents of the bully? I see on the news the children that were doing the bullying being put in jail, but think where did they learn that? Look at the parents of the bully. They had to see the signs that their child had a bullying ways. I learn through some of my bullies that they learned it from their parents, older siblings, and other relatives. Now, I ask this, don't you believe that the parents of the bullies should be punished too?

First Love

What is love? Love can be anything some will say. Others may say its anything good in your life. I notice the one sure answer to that question is there is no sure answer. I know the answer for me. To love for me, is to love unconditionally. That's what I do. I love unconditionally. I have a story of that.

Its my freshman year of high school. I was not popular but I had my friends and classmates I was cool with. I met this guy through one of my best friends. They went to middle school together. He had the biggest crush on my my best friend, and I had the biggest crush on him. Due to that, I never told a soul. My best friend knew with out me saying a word, and she tell me all the time to go for it, but I never did. As the years went on the guy became my best friend. We was your topical best friends, well at least to me. One day senior year he told me he had a girlfriend. I had a boyfriend, but I was so hurt that he had a girlfriend that I didn't talk to him for 2 months. How I did that when we went to the same high school, I do not know, but I did it. I start to text his girlfriend from his phone a few times and one day he let me talk to her on the phone. I never forget that moment as long as I live. I told her that I loved him and few other things. I SAID THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY WITH OUR CLASSMATES LISTENING ALONG WITH HIM. I couldn't believe I said that. I been friends with him for many years now, and I still love him. Even thou we never dated or be came a couple, I still love him as a wife loves her husband. I finally told him one day over the phone and he said he never knew I felt that way(I don't buy that at all). We still friends and my love still grows. What can I say? I'm the type of person once I love you that's it unless you betray me unlike no other. We both date and meet new people, like we should since we both single, but I just cant stop loving him. I play my role as best friend never letting the two cross, but no matter what I do I can stop the love. Who knows what the future holds, he may love back, he maybe my soulmate, or one day I just stop loving him. Who knows but after 10 years of loving someone I don't think it happen over night. Tell me, who was your first love and do you still love him/her?

Standing on the Soap box for Detroit

The last few months, I have made post regarding all that is positive and good in my home state and hometown. I started this blog to get the word out to young people like myself and even to people that are older than me, that the state of Michigan is not for “old people” or “retired auto workers” that there are great things to do in Michigan that people can have fun doing. I also started this blog to show the world that Detroit is not a city full of “thugs, robbers, killers, rapist, etc.” Yes, there is crime here in the city of Detroit, but we are a large city and crime everywhere not just in Detroit, but in your own neighborhoods. Detroit is a city full of history. History in music and national history. Did you know that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the famous I have a Dream speech first in Detroit? Yes, right here.

                I am very passionate about my hometown. I cannot believe the media treats us (Detroit) as if we are some war torn country. This is the place that built the car you are driving in, yet you swipe us down like flies ruining your picnic. I do not hide the fact that there is crime in my city every day, or there are cold cases that may never get solved, yet that’s all the media, older generation of Detroit citizens see and talk about. How about the youth that’s trying to make the city better, and the people who trying to show the good in the city?  

                All I ask is this simple, unpretentious, and meek demand of you, my readers, followers, friends, and family. Before, you start to point your nose down on the city of Detroit or the state of Michigan as yourself these questions: Is this happening in my city or state? Would I be hurt or insult maybe even offended if this was said about my hometown or state? Are they truly trying to fix their problem?  Before you speak, type or record your transgress insult about Michigan, Detroit, OR our citizens please do remember that for every bad or negative thing you say about us, we can say about you too, yet we are more responsible, stable, considered, adult, and most important we are more established group of people not to point out your defects, failings, imperfections, weaknesses. I would go on and on about this topic But I wait to hear from you my readers and see what you think about this before I continue. Until then my loves, speak positive and live what you say.
