Loving To Create:A New Graphic Designer



I just had to say something
About something new that has come into my life
It is something I thought I would never do
It is something I thought I would never do and it is
GRAPHIC DESIGN.

I am currently in a Masters in Educational Multimedia program at
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. or just
Cal Poly Pomona.  
GO BRONCOS!

The idea of the program is to teach educators in schools
certain computer applications or if you do want to teach
we can create educational materials by using certain applications
in forms of audio/video production, annimation and web development.

I have just completed my first quarter in the program and I
am loving it.

Like one graphic designer told me, it takes baby steps
to get better and I plan to practice, practice,practice and practice.

I am a very creative person and the fact that I had to
create two web sites, one design in straight HTML
and the other in Dream Weaver was a complete joy.

Thank God for graphic design and especially for
Adobe applications such as
FLASH,FIREWORKS, PHOTOSHOP AND DREAM WEAVER.

Overall it was a real pleasure to develop web sites that I have
always dreamed of doing.

The look of the web sites were very important for me
But what is also very important for me is what the web site is expressing.

I created a relationship advice web site in hope of
decreasing the divorce rate in The United States
WHICH IS SAD.

The other web site I am very proud of promotes high school
minorities to stay in school and to learn from
minorities who came from poverty but who became successful
because they stayed in high school and moved on to obtain
a college degree.

Graphic Design for me is like drawing a painting
But instead of using an actual paintbrush and drawing board

I  AM USING  A COMPUTER.

Moving To Canada-The Issues of Health Care In the United States.


I know
I know
I am supposed to be into sociology
And I waited one year to see the Michael Moore documentray Sicko
This is why I called the title of this blog Moving To Canada.

Because after seeing how many othere countries in the world receive
free health  care I am thinking about moving there.

 I would like to move to a country where they speak English
A country that is near by and the culture is similar to The United States
A country that has free health care
And that country is Canada
GO MAPLE LEAFS!

Yes I am a Obama supporter and his new health care plan is ok
But it is not free
What happened to the big changes Barack?

It is a new age
We have the first Black President
Which in everybody's mind, was IMPOSSIBLE
It was more impossible than The Los Angeles Clippers
winning The NBA Championship.

So if there can be a Black President in The United States
There can be FREE HEALTH CARE.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world
But it is also the most greediest.
The country was built on greed
WAIT HERE IS THE LIST!
1.Racism
2.Sexism
3.Greed
4.Hatred
5.Many other immoral stuff.

And you have countries who are nor even close to The United States economic wise
and they offer free health care and they have higher life expectancies.

One country whom you would think not would have
free health care and a higher life expectancy

And a country who is willing to treat Americans is Cuba.
THE DREADED CUBA
And no I am not a Fidel Castro supporter
I thought this country was so evil.

I could not believe in the documentary when Michal Moore
gathered up boats and took former 9/11 rescue workers to Cuba so
they could get free health  services, NEEDE SERVICES!

HEALTH SERVICES THE UNITED STATES DID NOT WANT TO GIVE THEM!

The documentray made the point that Cubans do not hate us so much
It even showed where Cubans saluted and gave so much respect to the 9/11
workers for being heroes.

And what did these 9/11 workers get from The United States.
A BAND AID AND A GOOD LUCK IF YOU LIVE LONG.

I love The United States and  I am proud to be American
I should be proud
 My fellow African-Americans helped to build it
So I should be proud that I have unpaid, no union architectural blood in me
But this country is so greedy that it does not want to give free Universal Health Care.

It is sad to see many people who have died unfortunate deaths because they did not
get the treatement they needed ON TIME!

So what can we do
We can keep voting in different officials into office
And hope a change happens for free health care
But how high capitalized The United States is
IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.

But we do have a Black President
So there is hope, RIGHT!
We will see.

So is the alternative is to move some where else?

Somewhere where there is free health care
And Canada maybe be my first choice.
Not France because I do not like speaking French
Even though they get way more time off for vacations at their jobs
I do not want to speak French.

This is just a thought because after watching the documentary
I could not believe how people who were sick just went into
a hospital and just got treated, free of charge in other countries.

Free of charge where I used to pay $80 a month for coverage
Do you know what you can do with $80
Pay some bills
Phone
Cable
Utilities
Food
Dog Food
Diapers
School Books

There are alot of important things you can do with $80.
