Decorum...Where has it gone?

Hello everyone in the blogosphere. I want to preface the following blog post by saying the views/opinions/rants expressed are my own. With that out of the way, I ask you this question? What is up with the lack of decorum in public? First, Rep. Joe Wilson(R-Ohio) interrupts the President of the U.S.A. during a speech to a joint session of Congress by calling him a liar. Next, you have Serena Williams. Great tennis player, multiple Grand Slam Singles champion, going nuclear on a line judge during a U.S. Open semifinal match causing the match to end in controversy. Then, just when you thought the etiquette police would not have to be called out, here come Kanye West. All he does is mess up a terrific moment for 19 year old music sensation Taylor Swift. What do all of these incidents that I have just mentioned have in common? Two words: poor decorum(if you want a definition, Google it). Have things gotten so heated and out of control in this country that decorum has taken a back seat? Rep. Wilson, I'm going to leave alone because he did apologize to the President. As far as Serena goes, she lost it. The match and her mind when she used some choice words to the line judge for a controversial "foot fault". If you want to see the video, check out YouTube. After the match, she did not answer the question about what was said after the incident. Stay tuned because this promises to be very interesting. Now to my man, Kanye West. Kanye opened his mouth and inserted his foot/microphone at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards(VMAs). First of all Kanye, do yourself a favor, back away from the Henessey(over 21 beverage. Do an Internet search). MTV, what were you thinking about having a bar prior to an awards show? Your show's producers should not serve alcohol of any kind prior to an awards show. Period. Next, Kanye, what were you thinking messing up a moment like that for Taylor Swift. This comes on the heals of you publicly dissing George W. Bush's handling of Katrina. There is a time and place for that and unfortunately, national television is not the time or place, nor is it the platform. Thankfully, my girl, Beyonce, showed some class and gave Taylor her moment back. Rep. Wilson, Kanye, Serena, I'm praying for you all. I'm praying that someone will show you how to practice decorum and to, in the words of the Hon. Judge Joe Brown, "conduct yourself accordingly." That's my rant. I want to hear what you think. Holla at a brother. Out.

Community

I'm sorry I have not blogged in a while. I have been very busy. I hope you will like the following. It's not easy being me. I live alone about most of the time, and there are times that I love that; however, there are other times where I do not like being alone. It's weird how God has wired us to be in community. I realize that in difficult times, I realize how important it is to be in community. I love community. I need community. I crave for fellowship and community. I can't wait for LIFE groups and being with my friends. Please pray that God will open my heart to not only experience community, but be a part of community.
