One Word: Welcome Blog 9/20/10

Hello and welcome to the first entry of my blog "One Word." I named it "One Word" because of the moniker I go by: Bobjohnson OneWord. Most of you are here because we are facebook friends.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Expect Bobjohnson (me) to provide national, local and weird news as well as keep you informed on what is going on in the community. From time to time I will post stories of inspiration, my opinions, local ads and my famous facebook FAILS!!!
To better help me I would ask that you post the link to my blog on your facebook page everytime I post a new blog. The goal is to build a network that we can use to keep each other in tune with what is going on in the world around us.

I want to pay tribute to a Saginaw mother and the local hero she birthed that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Death of a young man is never a good thing to hear about and especially from the "Most Violent City (per capita) in America," SAGINAW (which by the way I DO NOT agree with). Usually we hear about senseless violence that takes these young lives and it is all for NOTHING. Well my facebook friend Dee Snow didn't raise her son to graduate to Jackson State (prison) or the streets. She raised a young man who upon graduation decide to enlist in the Armed Forces and serve our country. I'm pretty sure he knew the danger he faced and yet, like a man, he stood proud. Keep ya head up Dee, many of our young people are dying for nothing and leaving their families with nothing but debt and heartache. Yours however, you can be proud of.

In other news... Did you know that in a city in Mexico there has been a drug war going on that has been responsible for the deaths of 22 journalist over a period of four years? It would have only taken me one time to get the message but apparently the journalist in Mexico are as braver than Taliban suicide bombers.

I was reading on YAHOO! that Paris Hilton has escaped jail time for felony cocaine charges by

by acknowledging during the Las Vegas Justice Court hearing that she had cocaine in her purse and lied to police when she was arrested. I wonder if T.I. will be able to use that same defense?
