beyond the stars and the unknown

cherish and value the beauty and liberty

of freedom and fairness as we are one

nation of peace,love and tranquality

NBA Finals will be Miami and Dallas

well the Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls to earn the right to play the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA title and this series has many plots going on. Dirk verus D Wade and Lebron. Jason Kidd,Shawn Marion,Jason Terry Peja,against Chris Bosh, Mark Miller, Mike Bibby. Owners involved Mark Cuban the Mavericks Owners and over on the Heat the President of the team Pat Riley. last time they played the Mavericks blew a 2-0 lead and a late 4th quarter lead as the Heat came back and won 4 straight games for the title. quite a bit has changed since 06 and we shall see. outta be a compelling series from start to finish.

I'm pulling for the Heat to win it all in 6 stay tunned.Dallas is a very talented team and Dirk is playing Lights out Ball as we speak.

the final Oprah Winfrey show

yes it finallt has happen the last Oprah Winfrey show, a institution of a voice that changed the course of television and is a Ground breaker and a movement. its pretty safe to say there will never be another Oprah. SHe took tv by storm 25 plus years ago and never let up. she has interviewed a whose who and everybody in between. she has been direct and brought a spin or two to the viewership. topics on a wide range entered so many living rooms through the years. she spoke early and often. years went by fast,however Oprah stayed consitant

the Rapture is now said to be in October,whatever?

so many folks want to predict the end of the world and yet nobody knows, cracks me up how some folks say this or that as if the cracker Jack Prize told them what was going to happen. i don't even know what will be the end however i don't like hearing oh this is going to happen or that, when last i checked i didn't know anyone walking God's green earth that knew exactly when and where the end would be. so i say enjoy what you have and enjoy the best of life and don't trip, fear and doom sells papers, these turkeys do this all the time. i wish it would stop because it is pointless.

unexpected

something i said and sometimes

why must i look like that and question

things without a question mark needed?

delightful conversation and direct connection

adds thy factor and thy flavor

without losing ones being

concept and orgainize

find a better you

the world didn't end

seems when crisis and prediction

is around a card dealer of the flesh wants to map out your

forecast despite the sun shinning somebody wants rain

in your eyes, heart and soul

deliever and give from the mountains and matters for all

that seem or shall stand for something

give me strength for it isn't what i believe,however

what a fool shall try to lead you too

Arnold Schwarzenegger as the sage continues

well unless you have been under a cave you have heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Love Child and so and so forth. Scandal and yet on the real its not going to really effect his career that much.talk about Media attention? of course to Quote a Arnold line He will be back and in making movies as if nothing happen and today after Bill Clinton and other Political figures you gotta really do something serious before it even sticks. John Edwards had his issues, but Politicians who aren't going to win or be real threats get ran off rather quickly. its not like people behind folks don't know there history or past, its just alot of masking the tape to cover the tracks. its a selective field day here and yet it won't hardly matter in a few short minutes with the attention span of today.

every have a day that felt like two days?

walked around and about it was rainy in the morning, cold and freezing by noon

then suddenly it became clear and got warm and the mood of the city

and the sounds of the street reflected this sudden attitude and yet

where were you only ten hours back when buddling up and looking

for any clear sign of warmth was so needed and wanted

what makes the change and who broke the Bank?

all in a twirl of wind,storm and marathons of this pace of Life

went through being Mean and Madd and then became happy

and light hearted how does that work?

props to Carlos Santana on calling out Georgia and Arizonia

Georgia and Arizonia both needed to be called for those horrible racist immigration laws they now have in effect. guitar legend who was honored over the week end in atlanta and before the atlanta and philidelphia baseball game, spoke his peace about how he felt about what is now going into law and how racist and narrow minded it comes across,which it does. i applaud Carlos Santana for taking that platform to speak on a serious issue that impacts so many and it feels like the same ole same. i wish more artists would speak on social issues that need to be spoken on.

what makes you happy?

if money was easy to obtain

could you indulge and feel free?

if water ran through your veins and bought you many more

lifetimes would you feel sane?

if all the material gains and nothing to be taxed on

were to be yours for life would you feel Super?

no illness, no loss, no stress and no mess

would you still have enough?

Remembering Bob Marley

30 years since the passing of one the best creative minds in all of Music, his work touched on the struggle, the journey, the inner and outer spritual and what was in between. words and music that took a life all onto themselves and never stopped questioning and asking why am I not heard? he passed 30 years ago from cancer and his music just got bigger and stronger as he seemed to make even more impact in passing and his songs have stood the test of time touching people all over the world. songs that give you hope and make you feel full of life and real joy in times of such bitterness and Hatred that seems to be going down around. RIP to the Great Bob Marley and his work is felt even more than ever.

whats the big deal about Rapper Common at the white house?

i was tripping at how so many conservatives but the tired fox channel are crying over Rapper at White House and they are digging at some of his past songs to make a statement, which as usual comes off racist and very loaded. as if every celebrity who has performed over the years never said or had anything on there records that might be offensive? Common has stayed in his lane and hasn't been edgy in years on record, he is a very talented poet, he is more of a actor now though than for his rapping these days. Common is a versatile rapper though and blends into any crowd. this is just something being started to get some folks to trip on Common when it ain't even necessary at all. Common writes songs that deal with everyday situations and he is cool with President Obama and the first Lady, they are all from Chicago, but typical Hate geared at a Rapper. same ole same

RIP Friend

Journey of the Hearts and Soul

you lived and gave so much in such a Brief

amount of time

tears poured and Hearts were heavy

weather was touching on

things left unspoken

and memorys forgotten

open doors

walk ways to the stars

moon rotates and shadows

covers and nothing more

is heard

and i'm lost for the pressence

being here

Memphis facing a serious flood

seeing the possiblity of serious flood and water coming in the Memphis area

on the news was so much to digest and to take in. after seeing the storms in the south over the past few months this is seriously destructive and never knowing when it will end. so much damage and nothing to stop the storms from coming from all fronts.

the climate on the surrounding areas seems like any typical spring day, but these storms are very serious and not telling how much damage can be forthcoming.

i've been in some serious storms and especially down South the water amount is mind blowing at times. prayers and hoping it isn't as scary as it appears to be coming.

most amazing

dealing with everything against you

time ticks and invisible moments

are like winter and freezing tempertures

where does the moment become the minute

and how to invest every second wasted?

gloved and like clue never enough time to

find a idea,keys to unlock and re open

save me and say so much

thy soul

refuses to be done

gifts and treasures relief upon the ever growing

respect and fresh fruit

we are honored

Happy Mother's day

the blessings and power

bring into the universe and guide thy light

for every hour

the spiritual and unknown

elements that truly make our character

deliever and bring the learning

and desire of the best that we are as humans

tell that Mother that the sun,moon,earth and stars

rised and were created from the soul

of ground she walked on

all for love,liberty and loyality

Happy Cinco De Mayo

i have in years past celebrated this particular holiday and time, the irony if that the national day of Mexcio's freedom isn't until September, however this particular celebration has taken over as the day. i have enjoyed partys and also learned so much and it is very much. learning about any culture and the Journey is incredible. want to be in the moment and explore all the areas and what it all means. life is a about respecting and seeing one another and how everything evolves and becomes what expands and observing so much of it. everytime I went to a Cinco De Mayo i wanted to understand how everything was appreciated and acknowledged fully. customes and traditions. life is rewarding and the journey of us all here means so much to the soul.

lead me to not Judge

lead me to never be the speculating and making excuses

or saying why one is wrong for I've never venture in there shoes

never make me be the one who questions Principals and order

when thy soul must stand in order and be on point

to get where I want to be and go

how can I say you are evil for I've had thoughts

how can I say you are a underachiever

when i still haven't scratched this side of the sea?

what makes anyone any better

when we are all a Heartbeat

and it all matters

i hope Bin Laden media coverage cools off

i don't want to see anymore attention drawned to him or we have taken care of public enemy number mess. thing is prayers and sentiments go out to familys,friends,etc.. of people who lost loved ones during the 9/11/01 attacks and to keep saying public enemy number 1 is gone makes it appear as a one and done, when in reality i wonder about 2-10. lets not act like everything is all finished with and done. there is still a whole lot of unaswered questions and there is a strong sense of what's next? its time to move on and not put any more un-needed media attention upon this man's death, because we still have to be focused. yes he was a dangerous man,however so are the people who care more about oil and power than human lives. everything is questionable and how did we get to this point again?

how much sleep do you need?

through the eyes

how many dreams and lands

did you touch pointing toward this climb?

on the way up you felt the stars and the moon

on the down you simple felt empty

as i clos my eyes and the mind

is at work though are over it

Osma Bin Laden died,whats next?

yes long overdue relief from the sad and frustrating 9/11/01 time period which is still so haunting. now the victory is felt,however you wonder what next? what happens and how do people react to what has happen? what is the price for justice and what becomes the next situation and concearns? some questions answered and some still not. for all the negative spin and hate aimed at President Obama he deserves respect and dap for staying by his word where it comes to Bin Laden. it felt like it was never going to happen and then tonight so surreal and incredible. what a great moment and some closure for people who lost loved ones nearly ten years ago. still the uncertain future we just never know whats next, however this was a huge step at righting an obvious wrong.props to the troops and forces,etc...

Hacking Grades

found out a studdent at a high school hacked there grade into the school's computer.

now while that is wrong, that kid is onto something and the technilogy lends itself

to being entered like never before. access and codes show you how to pinpoint and break through. never has in the history of school the wall been so narrow to gain enterance and get into the private files.

its a wonder it doesn't happen more often, what student wouldn't change there grades if they were failing? however this invasion speaks to the point of how when you incorperate modern technilogy into the schools how things like this can happen and it won't be the last time.

it is finally May

can't believe it is may already, hopefully the weather will become a bit warmer.

where i live its been on the cool tip and it feels a good 5-10 degrees less than it outta should.

out where i live the lines are blurred where Winter ends, spring starts and when summer heats up.

all i know is that all of those times circle around and yet nothing is felt all the way through.

nights are cooler though and the days pick up a little bit. May is always the same because you know summer is just around the corner.
