happy holidaze and appy nu jear...

life has been good i've been blessed this year to just get through another one. got a laptop and a camera for xmas so i guess i was nice this year. some might disagree.

striving to be the best human being i can be. just trying to continue to grow develop transform and be inspired.

thank you to everyone who has supported me or inspired me in some way this past year. will talk to yall before jesus bday....peace

ho ho ho...

your boy tone is full of holidaze spirit as the year winds down. this has been a crazy year in the life of me and you have witnessed it here.

let's see what happened: I graduated from Teachers' College, moved on to another school El Puente Academy for Peace and Justice in Williamsburg, BK, finished my book, performed at a bunch of places for many folks, became wiser and more aware of life love and pursuit of happiness, tried to realize my dreams a little more, and continued in the eternal struggle for truth and understanding. Not that bad a year.

For the next one, just hope to build on a solid foundation and strive to become a better human being. Hector Calderon said we are human beings, thus we are continually growing developing and transforming. At times, I get down on myself because of everything I'm not and still don't have, but then I realize that the goal is the journey and things will always move.

As I reflect back on this year, and every other year, I am grateful to have such wonderful people surrounding me, inspiring me constantly and pushing me to succeed. Thank you to everyone I've met, heard, or been inspired by. Let's keep the positive energy moving yall....peace....

what's really hood? finally got some wireless up in this batch, so it's on. trying to get this happening a lot more often.

life in december is such a rollercoaster of holidaze.
why is it when things seem like are over they just begin?

kids playing ball behind the crib

hustling all over the city listening to crazy new latin jazz fire and terror squad

went to a CUE seminar on the upper east side very good time and a good chance to build with other teachers.

my knicks are the epitome of up and down
my cat is meowing

its raining and the sky looks angry

shoutouts to pace university and nassau community it was good to build with people

everybody live well this holidaze enjoy life
get bent at your work party

love the people around you
appreciate what you got
ju nefer no

shit so fly
should have wings
and a stewardess with it nucka......

what's really hood folks,

december already!!! i can't believe it. this year like others has evaporated into thin smoke, but this year especially felt like it moved. pretty good year; graduated from Teachers' College, started working at El Puente, been performing like crazy, been written about a few times, finished the book. i can't complain. next year, hopefully i can just follow the blueprint set up.

Knicks on top of 500 for the first time since like 9/11. crawford is mos def a nut, but if he always hits those shots, take them all day. when houston comes back, i hope that we do our jobs and make it deep into the playoffs.

Performances
