Sigh, yes, I missed a couple of days. My excuse? Work. Working three nights a week, which are 12 hours long, 7pm to 7am, doesn't leave much energy to getting on here. So - I predict weekly three day skips. But I will try to continue this from there.

Tonight, what's to report? Many things, but I don't feel like discussing neither. I'm in school for web design and I need to create the perfect theme for amberswann.com. Right now, I have an extreme generic face up - but I can't keep it that way forever. So I'm keeping Daz open to work on something that I hope comes out the way I imagine it. Its a publishing, writer site, with its primary theme of interracial literature. Every story I write, or that we will publish, will have to have interracial lead characters. There arm plenty of same race/culture writers, books, stories, etc. However, as time goes by, people are more and more crossing those tracks into something new. I'm the result of that, so are my children, and history is filled with it.

That means, we'll do anything of "quality" that depicts people from a different race, or culture.

Time to bring that out in a more positive vein than what has been for so many years. I hate that interracial anything, is dominated by the ugly porn world. As if loving someone of another race, is some how connected to perversions, and secret fetishes. Bull! People are people, and fact of the matter is, you like what you like - you love what you love. Just because a man is black, doesn't mean that's what he has to like - love. Opposites attract... always has. Contrast and difference is exciting to most. Granted, such relationships are a greater challenge, especially trying to merge two cultures, beliefs, traditions, ideas, social baggages into one. But it can be done, and is being done - more and more each day.

That's why I write what I write, because its what I am, and what I believe. Because I'm black, does that mean I can only have chocolate ice cream? I don't particularly like chocolate ice cream. I prefer vanilla, its what I like. And because someone is white, they can only have vanilla ice cream? No way, too many flavors to be forced to have only the one.

Not what God intended -( this for those that believes there is one - I do )- otherwise, there would have been multiple sets of Adam and Eve, which would make us all a different kind - instead of just one set, which makes us all the same kind. Thus his rule of procreation, kind with kind ... two totally seperate, different kinds, cannot reproduce. Can't put a cat with a dog - a bear with a tiger - an elephant with a whale.

Mankind with mankind ... no matter what color, culture, or race, can. There's a reason for that - we're all ice cream, just different flavors, not different kinds. My apologies for the mixed metaphors... *wink* I was told, to just let it flow - well, there you go, that's my reason. Just think, I started out not wanting to discuss anything. Funny...
