Glitter Text @ Glitterfy.com
Coming from my girl Angie! 
Thank you so much for sharing and for being honest in your words! 
Thank you for being a   P.H.A.TGurl!
Constantly I try to right the wrongs
Only to sing another sad love song.
Why am I fighting this battle alone?
Why cant I have a love to call my own?
Why [...]]]></description>

Constantly I try to right the wrongs<br />
Only to sing another sad love song.<br />
Why am I fighting this battle alone?<br />
Why cant I have a love to call my own?<br />
Why cant we just live our lives as one?<br />
Why cant the past magically become undone?<br />
When will you see whats right before your eyes?<br />
Why do you feed me such vicious lies?<br />
When will you accept me as I am?<br />
When will you ever be the better man?</p>
<p>Constantly I try to fix whats broke<br />
Only to feel like there is no hope.<br />
Why should I try to make things work?<br />
How am I to heal all the hurt?<br />
When will this madness ever end?<br />
Why must I face it time and time again?<br />
Who are you to cause me such grief?<br />
When am I to find some relief?<br />
Why must I begin to cry?<br />
&#8230;&#8230;Why waste my time asking you why?</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">As you know PGL Radio had an excellent show last Wednesday. Some beautiful words tickled our earlobes and our thought pattern as we listened attentively. Wednesday night we will have a special guest for you by the name of Jamil Jasey if you haven&#8217;t heard of him, you will know him by the end of the show on Wednesday!  Mr. Jamil started performing with a local and still Richmond&#8217;s Own Spoken Word Variety Show Troupe <strong>LYRIC AVE</strong> in October 2003. His first taste at performing to an audience, Jamil continue to hone his craft. Lyric Ave led to other performances at <strong>TUESDAY VERSES</strong> and other venues around the city. A friend and fellow cast member <strong>NAZDAK </strong>gave Jamil the name <strong>MAN U. SKRIPT </strong>and a new performer was born. Check him out as he graces us with his presence on Wednesday @11pm est 8pm pst on PGL Radio.  You can hear and learn more about Mr. Jamil Jasey by visiting <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/JamilJasey#tab=rich_text">Reverbnation</a>.</p>

Phatgurllove Radio is coming soon! We will talk about all issues related to being Obese and Overweight. I will speak to <a href="http://stylevanguard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/monique-radio-show-cancelled.jpg"><span style="color: #ff0099;">BBW&#8217;s</span></a> and <a href="http://www.tvgasm.com/newsgasm/Ruben%20Studdard%20Married.jpg"><span style="color: #ff0099;">BHM&#8217;s</span></a>. We will discuss their experiences and how it has shaped their life. Dating, children, employment, and socialization are all affected when overweight. I will be playing the best of Old School, R&amp;B, Hip-Hop, and Neo-soul radio. I am so excited about this. This has been a long time coming! There will also be an open mic session on a weeknight. (TBD) There will also be a Poem of the day related to the show topic. Sometimes there will be a co-host! I look forward to hearing from you. Please be ready to call in and share or chat with us! Below is some information that I found quite disturbing&#8230;..</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">FYI:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Obesity by Race and Ethnicity</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">New Obesity Data Shows Blacks Have the Highest Rates of Obesity</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Blacks had 51 percent higher prevalence of obesity, and Hispanics had 21 percent higher obesity prevalence compared with whites. (2006-2008)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Greater prevalences of obesity for blacks and whites were found in the South and Midwest than in the West and Northeast. Hispanics in the Northeast had lower obesity prevalence than Hispanics in the Midwest, South or West.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Retrieved from <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html#Race"><span style="color: #ff0099;">here&#8230;</span></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We need to do something and fast! We have a generation of children out there that need us and we must set an example for them by being able to be healthy and eat right so we can grow old with our children. Lead by example!  Want to get started early? Go here and view some nice simple and HEALTHY recipes. If you know of any other sites, please leave them in the comment section and I will be sure to provide you with my review of the site and give them a shout out when on the air! Thanks to any new subscribers and thank you to the ones that have been hanging on! Your walk with me is greatly appreciated!</p>
