Martin Luther King Day is coming up. When I was in school, we didn’t get MLK Day off. I always found it ironic that the African American kids always stayed home from school on MLK Day. Martin Luther King fought for their right to go to school. Now on a day to honor his life, the people whose education rights he fought for aren’t in school.
I don’t do prayer breakfasts. There’s a Men’s Prayer Breakfast going on at church today. I’ve been to them before and didn’t care for them. One thing that turns me off is that I don’t have too much in common with these people. Most of the participants are busy raising families and are always talking about their own kids. Also to be quite honest, I enjoy sleeping in on Saturdays. It’s virtually the only day which I get to do this.
Well Comcast Internet Service is really screwing up these days.

They’re thinking that is my cable modem. I’m convinced that the problem is on their end. We’ll see…
