Last Update January 1, 2011

As individuals we can not in a single lifetime experience everything, see everything, know everything or do everything so we must interact...and learn.

If it doesn't show up...To go to my Guestbook run the mouse pointer over the space above the Send a Note tab in the upper left corner of the page. Most of my personal photos are there.

I have gotten quite a bit of assistance on many things here on the Planet and I would like to say thanks by helping and passing the knowledge so, if and when I can help just ask. Im a semi-retired photographer and do a decent job with digital images so if you need online help with a photo resize or touch up, just ask. I have also returned to shooting out and around so if you want or need quality photos and you are within 100 miles of Hampton Roads I am available.

I save Friends for 1 of 4 reasons.
1. I like your page.
2. I like your photos.
3. I place marked a spot to go back and read.
4. You are interesting and I want to interact online.
I don't save Friends to flirt and I don't need a jump off partner so please just be a friend or an acquaintance.

Religion:

Christian

LIKES

Stimulating people and conversation, Motorcycles(sportbikes and sport riding), visual delights, Milk Chocolate, Black women (thick or thin, tall or short, dark or light) that are self-confident and self-assured, black folks, laughing, happy people, Kids, the color black, the color purple, swimming, taking pictures, nice things, sport, luxury and sport/luxury cars, outside, nighttime, the sun (heat), the beach, the ocean, the pool, stars, sunsets, big screen movies, seafood, science fiction, and Trees.

DISLIKES

Pain, drama, cold weather, cold water, bad manners, willfully ignorant people, repeated stupidity, unhappy people, beggin` (tricking), crack, (the worst thing to come into the black community), crackheads, rudeness, excuses, sorry bad example parents, societal excuses, prejudging (extreme ignorance), racist people of any color, people who use religion as a weapon instead of a tool, people who wear religion like a uniform to take on and off whenever it`s convenient, white people and gay white people who think, believe and will freely tell you they understand what it feels like to be black, people that read so many books they can no longer perform free thinking on their own, child molesters and rapist (kill them all, no excuses), Unprovoked violence, black on black crime and I hate most of all being broke (I avoid that status at all costs).

INSIGHTS

Life is, starting out thinking you know it all,...

then spending the rest of it finding out you don`t.

I have much to share, but i`m still learning. Let me lead, I know the way; but if you know a better way, show me.

You are always your most valuable asset. Don`t sell yourself cheap to the unworthy.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, success and failures. Why doesn`t matter

Ignorance has it`s own punishment.

If you play the hate and punish game, you become no better than them.

TIME PRIORITIES

Photography, Motorcycles and Swimming/Jetsking/Watersports are my most favorite things to do. If I had to chose between them and sex, I would have a hard time picking one.

Everything else is just waiting.

QUESTIONS:

1.

1. Why are young Black men killing themselves and getting incarcerated at such an alarming rate but there is no alarm?

2. Should it be Negro, African American, Black American New Man or what? (shouldn't African immigrants be accurately called African Americans?) which would make Native Black Americans what? What would you call a White south African that immigrated here?

3. Is America, really that bad?

Have you visited some of the rest of the world and understand history enough to know?

4. What destroyed the black nuclear family?

It doesn`t start with an "M" either.

5. Why do women that raise sorry Sons seem to complain the loudest about how sorry men are in general?

6. Is the death penalty wrong or right including the unborn and the old...(no exceptions)?

7. Should violent teenagers 13 years old and up be tried as adults?

8. Is spanking a good or bad form of punishment for children? Teenagers?

9. What does "Grown" mean to you?

When are teenagers or young adults there? Regardless of age if you are not financially independent and can`t or don`t take care of yourself or your seed should you still be considered grown? Why.

10. Why do so many Black folks still think/look externally for the solutions to MOST of our racial/economic problems?

THOUGHTS

Race and sex discrimination cause segregation, separatism and poverty.

90% of extreme human suffering and unnecessary death thru all human history is directly related to Power, Religion, Money or a any combination of the three.

The other 10% is just sheer cruelty towards fellow humans.

Often I see Racism that masquerades as black pride, and I experience continual disappointment seeing young Black men fathering children out of wedlock and not supporting them, Black men not voting or embracing higher education at the same rate as Black women or willfully loosing their freedom to drugs and or prison, then feeling blameless and embracing the lowest common denominator and holding it up as an Icon, (Drug dealers, violent and disrespectful Rappers and Men with no father figure spreading misogyny to our black youth through music, foolish ideas, rumors and culture) and turning them into the inarticulate voice of Black Folks.

Recently I took a survey and asked 50 people, mostly Black,

What does "Being Black," mean to you?"

Everyone seemed to struggle with the questions and not one person had the same thoughts ideas or reasons for them but everyone had strong feelings that their ideas and feelings were right.

Why Do...

Some here on the planet post heavy graphics, animations, poetry and art of others on their page totaling many megabytes of data to download...and not post 1 10KB personal photo of themselves but want to get on a personal level with others?
I just don`t get it...

Music is my SANCTUARY. . .

There is TOO much to list but I listen to just about everything. With the exception of a few Artist and songs, I don`t feel most country music at all.

Afew that come to mind:

Cameo, Kleer, Mother`s Finest, P.M. Dawn, George Duke, Labelle, Stanley Clarke, Roy Ayres, Pieces of a Dream, Gill Scott Heron, Slave, Change, Harold Melvin & Blue Notes, Early Teddy Pendergrass, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Yellow Sunshine, Minnie Riperton, Ce Ce %#&@$!ton, SOS Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Zapp Featuring Roger, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, James Brown, Bobby Brown, Mary J. B., Lauryn Hill, Erica B., B.I.G., Beenieman, The Roots, Missy E., Juvy, JAY-Z, Master P., Snoop-Doggystyle, Warren G., DMX, Funkadelic, Santana, Pink Floyd, Robin Trower, B.B.King, Archie Bell & the D. and Jimi Hendrix. I mostly buy Jazz and Hip Hop lately. I started collecting music in the late 60`s and I`m still at it.

Oldies are ok but they did play them to death the first time around didn`t they?
