Oops..
I did not realize my BIG ole mouth over on CNN sort of caused people to come to my blog here. And, I am sharing that if you go through the history of my blog that I go through a wave length of emotions but I am human so don't hate me for having a bad day or week. I am trying to be as civil and honest with my blog but you have to understand the history of who makes up SerenityLife if you want to know who I am!
Though I may have my *outbursts* on life, I try to still bring humor to my day if at all possible. I do live in my own self-contained bubble to deal with some things I go through but I do not usually share all the insanity but I read and write a lot all over the web. This is my play ground and I try to be as sincere, civil and respectful to everyone who I meet.
If you are prepared for the ride, join me! I don't bite!
Thank you for reading and coming over here:

Thank you to My Black America for sharing this news story with me:
Jamaica Gleaner News - Jamaica files slavery lawsuit against bank
It reminds me of what Deadira Farmer Paelleman's life mission which she has said on her myspace blurb here:
"When I learned that trillion dollar corporations built their wealth off slavery, I had to do something about it. I initiated the Corporate Restitution Movement in 2000 demanding that the companies give back some of what they stole from enslaved people. Some companies have given back a total of $20 million. But they owe much more, and far more is needed. My goal is to create a trust fund to finance affordable housing, educational opportunities, economic development opportunities, and improved health care for slave descendants. Since 2000, I have been working full time without any pay doing this advocacy -- God has blessed me making this possible, so I'm just passing on the blessings." - from Deadria Farmer Paelleman's myspace page
Tonight please tune in to view the CNN Series, Black in America which examines what is life like for some people of African descent to live in America. I attempt to share what I can through this blog (and my others too) but I am curious to see how CNN will examine this complex issue.

Why I did Vox and Twitter

Check the link above..I have learned how to use all the programs at the same time in
addition to some others.
Twitter is excellent for News because I have a news feed for NyTimes
and CNN.
Look at this:
New York Times - Arts
http://twitter.com/nytimes
Barack Obama

I even have a timer on here:

Still checking out more of the third party applications. Most people
on these websites are older which is good. Meaning at least 25 and
over.
So, if you want a different demographic of people or just to explore
go there. Most of us are on last.fm too. But, I would take it slow
especially if you are a celebrity. If you are a celebrity you may want
to have 2 accounts - personal (for your select friends) and business
for just promotion. It all depends on what you want.
I have a display on the front of my profile of myspace of
what goes on my twitter feed but right now the code is not allowing you
to link directly to me. I have checked some other twitter profiles
and they are experiencing the same problem.
