"my space" day two...my headache --so far...
*so we tried to expand "the chronicles" over to the ever popular , "My Space" and as you can see , "my space" has been "my headache" as some difficulties in creating a profile to introduce us to the "my space" community have been experienced --here is how the changes to the profile page were supposed to look , but it is , of course still an idea in progress...
i am diallo sekou , aka "d sekou" , "dsekou" or just plain old "d" , which is the "nom de plume" of the editor of a little known blog called "the deskRat chronicles" that specializes in social commentary -- which eventually , i guess , makes one a pundit or "pandita".
,Well anyway , MORE learned is what we should all strive to be .
on deskRat i expound at length at times on my socio-economic /political observations , worldview , and the open , unashamed insanity visibly at work in today's world .
So while those we elect to office and those we look to for leadership do little more than strike up the band and rearrange the deck chairs , as the inevitable collision with the icebergs grows closer--someone will point to the disaster plainly looming straight ahead and call the attention of the other passengers to it --in hopes we can effect a freekin' full stop , or turn the ship around -- else we all end up as human popsicles --dead in the icy water .
i feel that the challenges thrown at us by life, the imperatives that we must respond to successfully if we are to continue to exist , are in some ways , the unique yet reincarnated versions of challenges that each generation must face .
whether we make it through life and whether future generations are succesful depends upon how effectively during "our watch" --our supposed time at the helm-- we discern the obstacles in our path , navigate the ship around them and throughly prepare the young people for the moment when it will inevitably be , their turn at the wheel.
personally , i believe that good music is one of the jewels of life--our powers to make music and our powers to make children are probably as close to perfection as we flawed humans can get . i chose the patti austin classic video "through the test of time" because of its uplifting message and celebration of life .
though life at times "pure sucks" , its still , hands down, the best game in town , thus we cherish it . with a little honesty , a little common sense , a little effort and a little love we can make it through life, through the tests of time.
or, as the late musical treasure, Shirley Horn would sing in that slow , silky , honey-sweet voice of hers , "may all your storms-- you weather , and may all that's good --get better . here's to life , here's to love , here's to you. "
Amen-ra ,
Peace
