This blog is named after a book by Jacqueline Jones Royster. While my goals for this blog are not quite as lofty as Ms. Royster's (promoting literacy and social change) I do intend to address ideas, philosophies, and policies that need to change. Since I consider myself a sociologist I will focus on anything social, which basically covers everything under the sun and then some. Topics will include my take on politics, music, sports, family issues, literature, to name a few.
I am a middle-aged woman who recently relocated to the Dallas area after spending the last sixteen years in Long Beach California. I am originally from Flint, Michigan. Although I have lived in the West and I am currently in the south, my belief system is strongly rooted in my midwestern upbringing.
I enjoy bowling and rollerskating whenever I get the chance. I also spend much of my time reading and listening to music.
Charles Barkley joins the ranks of Diana Ross, Heather Locklear and Queen Latifah, all of whom have been arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested by an Arizona tasks force which specializes in targeting drunk drivers. Read the story here. All I have to say to celebrities is WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR DRIVER!!! It is not like you cannot afford to call a car if you have been indulging. I would like to know what others think about this trend and driving while intoxicated, especially on the biggest celebration night of the year.
Hey where is Sir Charles,I have`nt been seeing him on TNT basketball with Ernie and Kenny did they fire him? or is he on the low until this kools off or he goes to court I`m a Charles B fan it`s not ok to drive drunk but they have these super fast cars $$$ of course and they can`t handle it, so yes they should have a designated driver or taxi. My homey from Saginaw MI.(A.K.A.Sag-nasty) also got busted in Arizona since he was traded there to the Suns J. Richardson in the same area C.Barkley was stopped hummm... are they targeting black atheletes? or am I tripping on the race card now J. Rich$$$ just got busted again speeding with his baby in the car not in a car seat he needs to chill.now he needs a driver for real,Me and my wife were recently in a fender bender(were ok) but they happen so fast and the cars are made of plastic etc.he needs to wise up.
And now they come for the courts.

Oh no, say it isn't so. The 'Round Mound of Rebound' would be ashamed of Charles.
I know...I'd so have a driver. Sure driving is fun and feels independant but hello!?
Oh dear.
Lol, why am I not surprised that it's Barkley.
Not Sir Charles!? Thank God, it was a blessing that he was caught before something awful happened.
What do I say about this…irresponsible! I was disappointed when I heard, but we all fall.
