World Prout Assembly: You Are Too Arrogant!!
"Don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman for the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgment and it seems that I can hear God saying to America, 'You are too arrogant! If you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name!'"
A year ago I wrote about Chattanooga march for MLK day and how the crowd had an air of obligation.
However, this year I did not march for the first time in 3 years. At first I didn't have a problem with my decision, until I watched an Youtube video that complied some of MLK's infamous words, words that I as a child were not made to memorize and disgust. The quote above amazed me because it did not sound live the MLK I am accustomed too. This was one quote of the many I found chilling; because in its eloquence I felt the Rev. Martin L. King spoke prophetically.

In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of...
Hello people,
I know I know I haven't wrote in awhile but I have been a little depressed with short bouts of motivation. After the moment of depression I was able to take wonderfully interesting trip to New York City with my job.
Upward took a very long trip in a very cold charter bus, 13 hours of immaturity and semi frost bite toes. One the first day we stopped in Heresy, PA. We went to Heresy park.
After, the park we completed the last leg of the journey and Arrive in New York (Alicia Keys voice). That song constantly played in my head has we toured the city. I was just amazed to see New York; I hate to sound a like a small town girl but to see a city often in relicated in CGI in the movies was surreal to me.
New York caused me to have a range of emotions that went form astunsingment, anguish, love, and hate. NYC is so big, even the sky seems higher than any of the cities I have every seen before. Also, NYC seems like it has been in a state of constant construction since its creation. Buildings are either being built or renovated and streets are being paved. I do not think there will every be a time were New York will be completed.
