Greetings, My People...

I've been busy with my new city job, still grinding on the music tip with my music (www.reverbnation.com/yejide), making the money do what it do and finishing this videography and editing class. I'm on my path with support from my children, mother, father's spirit & friends and it feels great. The past month has been illuminating, to say the least. I'm definitely shining!

I just added my Thanksgiving menu to my culinary page, www.mamawizecooken.tumblr.com and realized, what I did... I played into the hands of AmeriKKKa's never-ending job to keep me from doing what I need to be doing. How many other things could I have gotten done instead of cooking for an empty house? My daughter, son-in-law and grandsun go to her father's house and his mother's house every year to eat. My sun is in Japan. I love my children and I tell them everyday, so what was I thinking making all the food I made? Straight habit! But it continues, no longer. Thanksgiving will be disregarded like all the other bullshit holiday's this country has conformed society to follow:

* Thanksgiving: one designated day to give thx & cook for an army;
* Christmas: one day to celebrate the birth of Christ represented by toys and gifts;
* Valentine's Day: one day to show love to everyone with the chocolate hearts, candy & or sex;
* Easter: one day to celebrate the resurrection of Christ by going to church & walking the runway for communion crackers, bunnies & colored, boiled eggs;
* Fourth of July: (U-LIE!) one day to celebrate AmeriKKKan independence, when slavery was in full effect on July 4th, 1776 & continued for almost a century afterwards.

We should love & honor our parents, everyday, so Mother's & Father's Day is real WACK!

I know I can do more if I put my mind to it and actions speak louder than words. What I won't do is spend money, time and energy on bullshit holidays or run the streets in a chaotic frenzy trying to find sales on items I probably won't need. I'm not one of the drones who follow AmeriKKKan tradition.

At least not anymore!
