Happy, Happy, Happy...

Yeah, two days late, but: Happy Freakin' New Year!

2005 is my year. No bullshit. It can only be better than 2004. And 2003 and shit, all of the other previous years going back to 1998. I don't know why that's a pivotal year in my life, but it is. I'm staying positive. I'm getting strong. And I'm just doing for me, myself and I. No questions about it. And if you can't understand, maybe you never really did.

Peace, Love & Blessings...

Why A Black Bloggers Association?!

Introducing Black Logs

Black Bloggers Association (BBA) is a non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting BBA members and their blogs. The membership includes independent/amateur bloggers, professional bloggers and professional writers who operate a personal blog, as well as those interested in the development of media blogging, citizen journalism, and related endeavors.

Black Bloggers Association believes in the independence and freedom of expression of its members .

Below are the current requirements for membership in Black Bloggers Association:

* Actively blogging.
* Touching base with other members.

Of course, there'll always be the question: Why a Black Bloggers Association?

"It's about empowerment. One blog, no matter how good, has limited power. One-hundred blogs [is] another thing altogether. ...[T]here can be tremendous power in an organization that can show it represents many bloggers. Of course, you could be one of the lucky ones who gets snapped up by mainstream media -- but even if that's your goal, a national organization can help bring that about...." -- Ric, BBA Founder
