My Husband





"I can't stop loving you But it's cool 'cuz i'm learning the truth So I can't deny to myself
That I'm crazy over you Now my heart beats for two And it just ain't enough to let ya know
Girl, you gotta feel it in ya soul"- Lloyd




This post is dedicated to my FAVORITE R&B male singer of ALL TIME.! Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr. 





Lloyd was born Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr. on January 3rd,  1986.
He is currently 25 years old, and he is Latino and African american




Lloyd is famous for his singing. He has 3 solo albums; Street Love, Lessons in love and his newly released album King of Hearts.









Lloyd has recently cut off his long hair and has decided to try a more daring look. No matter what he does, of course, I DONT MIND. (:





First time I saw Lloyd he was promoting his


 first album on 106@park on evening. From


 the first moment I laid eyes on him and 


heard him sing, I was sold. That's why I am


 his NUMBER ONE FAN.




Lloyd is an amazing singer and very handsome.

FACEBOOK

Is Facebook GOOD or BAD for STUDENT?????????


I want to start off by asking you some questions. Do you enjoy Facebook? Do you think it effects your life and your grades? If you answered yes then no, i want you to read below.....




http://www.allfacebook.com/is-facebook-good-or-bad-for-students-debate-roils-on-2011-


There was a recent study on students grades and how many times they check Facebook and how it effected their grades in school. These are the results.



  • 96 percent of college students use Facebook;
  • Grades of students who checked Facebook while studying were 20% lower than grades of those who didn’t check Facebook while studying;
  • 79 percent of students did not believe that multitasking in the way mentioned above negatively affected their grades;
  • 20 percent of students that use social media reported feeling connected to their institution;
  • 75 percent of college students reported wanting to collaborate online.



So the important question now is, Do you still feel the same way about Facebook that you did before?  Remember, numbers DON'T LIE! 

Advisories issued in 24 states as dangerous heat wave spreads

http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/07/12/heat.wave/index.html

"(CNN) -- It's hot. Not "How 'bout this weather?" hot, but buckle-the-pavement, too-hot-even-for-frozen-lemonade, three-showers-a-day hot, and it's that way across a broad swath of the country."


People living in states such as Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, are having the short in of the stick in terms of the massive heat this summer.




The heat index in Oklahoma is so intense that it buckled a turnpike, creating a two-foot ramp that sent motorcyclists flying 150 feet in the air.  
This rising heat covers a large portion of the us (as seen in the picture) and the big question is "When will it cool down?"

Betty Ford

 Betty Ford (April 8, 1918- July 9, 2011)


"The role of first lady is one of the most difficult in American public life. Few women have struggled with the role as passionately and poignantly as Betty Ford, who died last week at 93."


http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/07/11/frum.betty.ford/index.html?hpt=hp_c1




This article is interesting because she was a remarkable woman. She stood up for what she believed in and didn't mind sharing it. She was a very compassionate person, who aimed to help those in need.





"Betty Ford's fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings)."






Betty Ford is very ambitious and willing to work hard to get to the top. Betty's combination of drive and practicality has the potential to catapult her to success. 








She will always be remembered 
for her strong will power and her caring ways. She was a remarkable woman, and she will truly be missed.

Way Back When.....

The setting of this story took place at New Grove Baptist Church in Jefferson Georgia, Easter Sunday. My family and I enjoyed the service and afterwards there was an Easter ceremony where the little kids could come up and do inspirational dances, songs etc. I was four going on five at the time. The whole ceremony i wanted to get up there to sing one of my favorite songs of all time, so i told my mom and she told my pastor. He told my mom we will see towards the end if there is enough time. So we all enjoyed the different kids doing their songs and dances.
There wasn’t enough time at the end so i couldn’t sing my song after all. I was very dissapointed. After service we were all in the car and my mom asked me,
“Liyah, what song did you want to sing baby?”
and i replied back,
“Mom you know my song”. and she said
“No i don’t ,what song?” Then i replied back smiling
“ YALL GON MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND, UP IN HERE! UP IN HERE!
My mom’s mouth dropped and her and my dad began laughing historically. I remember her saying to my dad
“Im so glad they ran out of time, because if she would have went up there singing that, you would’ve had to go get her”
That was a very funny incident that happened when i was very young.  If you are not familiar with the song i am talking about i have attached it to this document. Enjoy, and imagine if you were at my church and you saw me at 4 years old sin
ging this.
