Here there is no Greek or Jew, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Did You Know??
-That people with different wave patterns in their hair have different shaped hair strands? for instance, people with naturally straight hair have a round hair strand. People with wavy hair have an oval hair strand and people with curly hair have a flat hair strand.
-That on average a person looses anywhere from 40 to 100 hairs per day?
-That baldness does not come from the mother's side. It is genetic and can come from either side of the family.
-That no matter how often you trim your hair it will still grow at the same rate. Though of course the more you trim it, the healthier it will be.
-That on average, hair on a healthy scalp grows at a rate of a half inch per month.
-That every 4-5 years you have a completely new head of hair.
-That the technical term for gray hair is Canities (Kah-NISH-ee-eez).
-That Archeological studies reveal that haircutting and hairstyling were practiced in some form as early as the Ice Age.

The Wrestler
we watched the movie The Wrestler last night and it was sooo good.. and so sad. I very harsh look at the life of someone who had lived very selfishly for years and sort of pushed everyone he loved out of his life until he realized that he was old, sick, lonely and hopeless. and Even when he tried to make the things that he had broken better he couldn't.
Mickey Rourke deserves an oscar for his performance and I think Azuree and I shall start a foundation called Adopt a Wrestler!

My New Adventure
Well, I did it...
I went and took my placement test and I signed up and paid in full for my first semester of school for cosmetology at the community college down the street from where we live.
It's a big step for me and it feels really good. I am a perfectionist in many ways and a lot of times I don't do something because of the fear of not being as good as others or the fear of not being as good as I know that I could be. But I have wanted to take a step forward in living my life proactively and not being complacent. So I start next Tuesday! I bought a lunch box yesterday and I felt like a little kid again. Hmm..come to think of it, maybe I need to go pick out a first day of school outfit!
I'm a little concerned about my schedule though. I am going to be working from 10am-3pm and going straight to school and not getting off until 9:30pm on Mon-Thurs. That's almost 12 hr. days! I'm really hoping that there won't be any homework due during the middle of the week or I am going to be in trouble.. but I will try my best, and even if it is really crazy I will be graduating in a little over a year. I think it's worth it.

The Magnificent Mile
OK, so I have to write about this before everything starts to go fuzzy in my mind and fade.
I had the privilege of going to Barack Obama's Presidential Election Rally this past Tuesday, November 4th in Grant Park, Downtown Chicago. We were not able to get tickets to actually see Obama speak with our own eyes. But what they did was split the park in two and saved one side for all of the people who were not able to get tickets and they had about eight jumbo trons projecting CNN as the votes were coming in and then McCain and Obama's speeches to follow.
I have to say, this was probably one of the most amazing events that I have ever experienced in my 24 years of life. The papers said that there was 175,000 people attending.. but I think it was more like 300,000+ since there was no way that they could keep track of how many people were there, let alone the amount of people waiting on the outside of the park just to be part of it all in some way. It seemed like a million people! To see all of them gather in unison. With no color, no age, no gender to separate us. We were all human beings gathering together crying out for change! It was inspiring and provoked such a good will in all that there were reports of little to NO arrest. 300,000+ PEOPLE!!! That just blows my mind!
The streets were lined with vendors selling pins, t-shirts, posters, American flags etc. All fighting for your attention. It felt for a moment like we were in a market place in Morocco or something. All of it just added to the atmosphere and gave me butterflies in my stomach just knowing that something great was about to happen.
So we watched and waited for what we had been hoping for what seemed like years to come. Just when we least expected it the big screen burst bright with the announcement that Obama had been voted president. The crowd exploded with sheer joy. People jumping and cheering. People who were once strangers embracing one another! An overflow of laughter, tears and disbelief.
We listened in respect as Senator McCain gave an extremely gracious speech. Then welcomed our new President to the stage with his beautiful wife and little girls. We listened as he thanked and inspired the masses. It was a day the world will not soon forget.
As we poured out of the park the streets of downtown Chicago became a sea of people. It gave true meaning to The Magnificent Mile. It truly was magnificent!
