Wishful thinking

All I can say is "Really, T.I., seriously?????"   According to a recent news report (link below) rapper/actor T.I. was arrested for suspicion of possession an illegal substance earlier this week. His wife was also arrested with him when their car was stopped by officers in West Hollywood according to the article below.

I'm hoping the charges with the term "suspicion" means there's a chance the entertainer was wrongly accused. Stranger things have happened and I don't believe everything I read. Everything will "come out in the wash" as they say.  After the rapper's stint in prison in the past year I'd hope we'd see only positive things from T.I.  While I'm not a huge fan of his music, I have followed this man's career and was happy to see him recently in the media talking about how his incarceration helped him grow emotionally. I'm still rooting for this young man. I think he "could" be a great role model for his peers if, in fact, he does turn his life around. Because he's recently released from prison, I read that if the charges have any validity T.I. could be going back to prison as a repeat offender.  We all have to pay at some point for our bad decisions.  Here's hoping the old T.I. is "dead and gone" as he croons in one of his songs.  It may be turn out to be only wishful thinking on my part, but I'm into positive thinking these days!

~~ my ten cents.

Flight Attendant on JetBlue loses his cool and exits plane

Unless you haven't watched the news or listened to the radio in the past couple of day, you won't be familiar with this story .  From news reports I've seen online and watched on television (see below), it appears the JetBlue flight attendant that lost his cool is becoming a hero of sorts. Online blogs are praising him for doing what some often only fantasize about.  Reports indicated a passenger failed to listen to the flight attendant's warnings about standing up and getting luggage from the overhead compartment before the appointed time. It's said the passenger was belligerent and an argument ensued between the two resulting in expletives being used. One report I saw mentioned the overhead compartment hit the flight attendant in the head (not sure of that as it's not mentioned on every report I've seen).   In any case, the flight attendant promptly gets on the intercom and calls the passenger an expletive in response and tells the ent...

...They say don't talk politics or religion at work - wait, what about social media sites???

Beware, "Big Brother" is watching your every move online.  In this case "Big Brother" is a potential employer or current one that wants to know what your activities outside of work entail.  Those of us with nothing to hide may have no worries, but the "perspective" is in the eye of the HR person. One has to wonder if their personal views of say religion, politics or music for example, would be cause for pre-judgement by employers. In the current economic situation here in the U.S., I suspect "watching what you say online" is a harsh reality to how most people conduct themselves on the Web.  Apart from filtering your speech online, what about the personal photos of your "away-from-work" activities that can land someone in hot water with their employer.  Remember the story of the teacher who was fired when pictures of her vacation was posted on Facebook (article below)?  Mama always told me life's not fair! Also, the NY Times art...

Shocking Viral Videos

I saw a video on the Internet (you can probably guess where) today.  The video showed a guy being filmed while he was dancing into a road with traffic moving. The guy walked up to the street and began dancing into the middle of the street.  All the while, cars were driving on this road in both directions. I can only guess the guy was confident that the cars would swerve and miss him (writing him off as a crazy man dancing in the middle of the street).  Unfortunately, the guy miscalculated (unless he had a death wish) and then - an ice cream truck hit him! It doesn't appear from the video the man was hit head on by the truck, but was clipped really well. The guy was hit hard enough to throw him to the side and on the ground. The video shows the shocking impact. The person filming the video immediately lets out an expletive and the camera pans to the ground as the videographer appears to move toward the subject of the video. The video ends with...
