What About Bob?

When thinking of locs you may think of Bob Marley or nappy hair along with smoking marijuana or being unclean. The locs have been around since ancient Egypt and are even discussed in the Old Testament. In the 1930’s Ras Tafari was emperor of Ethiopia. Tafari was forced to exile while an invasion was happening, his soldiers vowed not to cut their hair until their emperor was reinstated. After this the ‘Rasta’ movement started. Reggae became popular and Robert Marley did rock dreadlocks and did…

Speak the words presidential scandal, and what goes through a person’s mind is Watergate. This scandal set a precedent for all other scandals. What started as a promising presidential career for Richard Nixon, quickly turned into the largest and most devastating scandals the United States has ever known. It was June 1972 a five man crew of Cuban descent were apprehended by the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, DC, in the offices of the Democratic National Committee. The report…

prior to the beginning of class. While some students could explain some details of what they had done that day, not all could be certain. Details may not seem to be that important when telling a story from a childhood experience or maybe the retelling of a joke, but what if a person was made to recall a memory that took place six weeks ago? This may not seem crucial, however, what if this inability to recall what happened that day could possibly ruin someone’s life? This appears…

As me and Jillian were sitting in the waiting room we thought about how this whole situation was so messed up. This girl who we were about to press charges against didn’t like us because of one of the dumbest reasons. Soon we got called in one by one into the court room to tell our side of the story. When they called me I was nervous that I would mess…

I hadn’t thought about this incident in so many years, but reading about Tamar it brought up this memory. Cooper-White provided some wonderful Biblical and Theological resources to help a survivor of abuse. The word survivor alone has quite a bit of power behind it as well. The word ‘victim’ seems…

Chabelo Have you ever had a pet that was almost like your friend or another family member? Well I have had one and it was a mini Labrador named Chabelo. I know you are probably asking why Chabelo? Some of you know that Chabelo is a Mexican show host that is really old and big and dresses up like it kid. Well my dog had a medium sized body and looked like he was a baby lab but a really big one that’s why we named him Chabelo. Chabelo will always have a place in my heart. Chabelo was playful,…

We chatted a lot about our lives; those basic favourite questions and things like how this certain teacher is at school. It’s great having him in so many of my classes because we shared the same hatred for our physics teacher. “He’s so pompous it makes me sick!” is going…

leads her lost chastity, people would say bad words to that woman, and nobody would sympathy that woman because they believe she was an unchaste women. But people would not censure any man who leads women lost their chastity. There are two stories about different women in different cities, when they meet with same situation, they had different attitude. Ting was a Chinese peasant in Guizhou province; she came from a poverty family, Ting’s father and mother was farmer, Ting did not go to school…

together. When I recall a memory and I am not sure what exactly happened, I tend to ask someone who was there with me. For example, if my sister was there I would ask her what happened that day and she might have a different response. Both of us would say what we remembered and if the stories are different we would fill in the gaps. In my opinion, it is impossible to have a memory like a video…

anything. After reading the word death, I don’t feel anywhere close to the amount of disbelief, sadness, devastation, and loss that comes with physically mourning a loss. Sometimes you hear about deaths on the news, in books, from friends, on the radio, but you never really get emotional, or heartbroken about it because you don’t know them personally. But this became real to me all too quick. I couldn’t believe it. My head was spinning. Did this really happened? I thought he was kidding…
