WITH THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW NOT ONLY WAS THE RACIAL GLASS CEILING BROKEN BUT SO WAS ANOTHER MORE IMPORTANT STEREOTYPE. Know that you are only as inferior as YOU allow yourself to be. A STRONG BLACK FAMILY WHO SUPPORTS EACH OTHER CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.
READ TO YOUR CHILDREN, DO MATH WITH YOUR CHILDREN, TEACH THEM, LET THEM TEACH YOU.
For those of you that are going through some kind of emotional stress, strain, breakdown, or whatever. You are only as weak as your prayers and belief. Understand that somethings are just meant to be and some are not. Ask for forgiveness from ONE, forgive the other, and more importantly FORGIVE YOURSELF.
Let no one define you. Let no one determine who you are. Do not be afraid to be yourself. Make your own decisions, set your own goals, live your life and change only what you want to change. Take responsibility for your own actions. LIVE IN PEACE WITH YOURSELF. LOVE YOU AND BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. and above all put ONE.
peace in 09, may ONE bless you endlessly.
ONE LOVE
ONE'S LOVE IS SALUBRIOUS FOR ALL.

Ladies and gentleman
to the class of '97
wear suncreen
if I could offer you only one tip for the future
suncreen would be it
the long term benefits of suncreen
have been proved by scientists
whereas the rest of my advice
has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now...
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, well never mind
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
until they've faded
but trust me
in twenty years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
how much possibilty lay before you and how fabulous
you really looked
you are not as fat as you imagined
((Ooooohhhhh))
don't worry about the future
or worry but know that worrying is as effective as
trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum
the real troubles in your life
are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
the kind that blind sides you at 4pm on some idle tuesday
do one thing everyday that scares you
sing
don't be reckless with other people's hearts
don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
floss
don't waste your time on jealousy
sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind
the race is long
and in the end its only with yourself
remember the compliments you receive
forget the insults
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how
keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
stretch
don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life
the most ineresting people i know didnt know at 22
what they wanted to do with their lives
some of the most interesting 40 year olds i know still don't
get plenty of calcium
be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
maybe you'll divorce at 40
maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding aniversary
whatever you do
don't congratulate yourself too much
or berate yourself either
your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
enjoy your body
use it every way you can
don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
dance
even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
read the directions, even if you don't follow them
do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Brother and sister
together we will make it through
Some day a spirit will take you
and guide you there
I know you've been hurting
but i've been waiting to be there for you
and i'll be there just helping you out
whenever I can
Get to know your parents
you never know when they'll be gone for good
be nice to your siblings
they're your best link to your past
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future
understand that friends come and go
but with a precious few you should hold on
work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
where as the older you get the more you need the people you knew
when you were young
live in New York City once
but leave before it makes you hard
live in Northern California once
but leave before it makes you soft
travel
accept certain inalienable truths
prices will rise
politicans will philander
you too will get old and when you do
you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable
politicians were noble and children respected their elders
respect your elders
don't expect anyone else to support you
maybe you'll have a trust fund
maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
but you never know when either one might run out
don't mess too much with your hair
or by the time you're 40 it will look 85
becareful whose advie you buy
but be patient with those who supply it
advice is a form of nostalgia
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
and recycling it for more than it's worth
but trust me - on the sunscreen
Brother and sister
together we will make it through
Some day a spirit will take you
and guide you there
I know you've been hurting
but i've been waiting to be there for you
and i'll be there just helping you out
whenever I can
everybody's free
everybody's free
everybody's free ohhhhh yeaaaaa
everybody's free ohhhhh yeaaaaa
Everybody's free
(to feel good)
everybody's free ohhhhh yeaaaaa to feel good.
NOTE: my pics are racey that is why they are for friends only. if you can not accept me for me then don't accpet me at all.
