Public Service Announcement: World AIDS Day is December 1st

Before the fun, I just wanna take a moment to promote World AIDS Day which is tomorrow and celebrated every December 1st. is dedicated to raising awareness of the global AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history.

Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Observance of this day provides an opportunity for governments, national AIDS programs, churches, community organizations and individuals to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The most important take home message I can provide is for each of you to know your status! Thats all I ask.

Happy Thanksgiving 2 U All

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

I want to thank all of you for the sweet birthday wishes. I truly had wonderful birthday. I really did.

Today Im headed to the airport for my trip to Houston where I will be spending the Thanksgiving Holiday with my sisters and other family. I was thinking to myself that I am really going to need to go on a diet after this. I mean seriously!

Anyhoo, I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy Thanksgiving Holiday to you all.

Question of the Day

This year what is it that you are thankful for?

For me, I am thankful for my friends and wonderful family that I love so much. I am thankful for my very life, my health, and for God waking me up this morning. I have a good job, a roof over my head, and lots and lots of love. What more can I ask for? Not a thing. I am truly blessed and I am thankful for all that God has bestowed on me.

So what are you thankful for?

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES-N-GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS,
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER
STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

R.I.P. Gerald Levert

Gerald Levert: 1966 - 2006

When I got home from the grocery store today I received a call from my sister as I was putting away the groceries. She had been riding and listening to the radio when she heard the news of Gerald Levert dying of an apparent heart attack.

I was stunned.

I had to stop what I was doing and take a sit for a moment. As I heard those words I just felt this great since of sadness. I honestly loved Gerald Levert. He was one of my favorite R&B singers. He had the most sultry, soulful voice. It seems like such a lost.

I felt sad for his family and his friends. The man had four children and I really felt bad for his father. It has to be one of the most awful feelings in the world for someone to loose a child. It just doesnt seem natural for the child to die before the parent.

Damn!

A Message From Nic

This man was only 40 years old. Dead of a heart attack?!?!!?

Being that I work with the Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention program here in Florida I just have to take the time to talk to anyone that is reading this post. It is becoming more and more common for people especially blacks to die of heart attacks, but listen when I tell you that it doesnt have to be this way!

My people we (myself included) have GOT TO start taking better care of ourselves and paying better attention to our bodies and the warning signs.

We have got to live right, eat right, stop smoking, and exercise more.

There is NO reason for us to be dying off so young. I had two family members to die in their 50s of heart attacks and that is still too young to die, especially from a disease that is preventable.

I am not trying to preach. I am just trying to do my part as a health educator and spread the word about heart attack prevention and share with you the signs and symptom.

Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.

Other signs: These signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

And ALWAYS remember to call 9-1-1!

Another one bites the dust!

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Chris Rock has joked you can either be "married and bored, or single and lonely," and it appears he's opted to try the solitary life.

TMZ.com says the comedian, 41, has started divorce proceedings against Malaak Compton-Rock, with whom he has two daughters, Lola, 4, and Zahra, 2, and has tapped a "high-powered" legal pit bull to represent him.

The timing of the supposed split is interesting, coming as it does just three weeks before the couple's 10th wedding anniversary, a milestone date that can sometimes have a major impact on how much moolah is shelled out in the settlement.

For now, Rock's rep remains mum on the split rumblings, telling TMZ, "I cannot comment at this time."

It's a good bet the multitasking star, who hits screens in March in the unfortunately titled "I Think I Love My Wife"(he also co-wrote and directed the flick), will mine his purported marital woes for his stand-up act, just as he did when he settled into domestic bliss.

"Fellas, when you wake up in the morning, you should look yourself in the mirror and say, '[Bleep] you.' [Bleep] your hopes, [bleep] your dreams, [bleep] your plans ... [bleep] everything you thought this life was going to bring to you," he ranted during his 2004 comedy special "Never Scared." "Now let's go out there and try to make this b***h happy.'"

Malaak, a former public relations exec at UNICEF, is the founder of Styleworks, a nonprofit group that provides makeovers and advice to women moving from public assistance into the business world.

To Vote or Not To Vote, That Is The Question

Monday, November 06, 2006

Are you going to cast your ballot?

I visited Dr. Debs site tonight and it really got me to thinking about tomorrows elections.

The 2006 Florida gubernatorial election is taking place on November 7, 2006. Our current governor, Jeb Bush, is finishing up his second term and cannot run for re-election; Thank God!

I will be casting my ballot tomorrow evening. I had planned to do it before work but I realized today that I have to go to a training tomorrow that I cannot be late for so it will have to wait till I get out of there. But not to worry, I am definitely going to the polls! I really hope that we will see some changing in our state soon.

Oh and something interesting on the ballot is having health insurance for everyone in the county but electing to impose a half cent sales tax. I am really interesting to see how that one comes out. I am for it myself because I know how not having health insurance adversely affects health outcomes and I actually give a damn. I know that many people do not though.

Another interesting tidbit is that if Jim Davis wins, his running mate Darryl Jones will be the first African American Lt. Governor in the states history!

Charlie Crist on the right and Jim Davis the Florida Gubernatorial

Since we are on this whole voting thing, let me tell you the thing that irks me. I know that the candidates feel they have to get their messages out there but come on, give me a break!

I am so sick of these attack ads coming on back to back. They will show an ad for Charlie Crist bashing Jim Davis and then turn around in the same block of commercials show Jim Davis in a commercial that is bashing Crist. I mean WTF?!?!? Give it a damn rest already!

I mean who should you believe?

Anywayz, enough of my mindless babbling. I need to be doing some work. Will you make your voice heard? Do you think it makes a difference whether or not you vote?
