Update from April 11th:
my newest song is door to freedom, I
already have the track from my buddy lowrider. I plan on recording it as
soon as I am able to get into a studio with my friend Alex Dupont. I am
pretty excited about it. I am buying a new track every 6 weeks, and plan to
have a whole cd done by Christmas.

my mom passed on this prayer to me: if I knew
SUN
RISE
Every morning in Africa, When the Sun rises, A deer awakens, Knowing it
has to outrun the fastest Lion, >OR, be hunted to death....
Every morning in Africa, When the Sun rises, A Lion awakens, Knowing it
has to outrun the slowest deer, OR, be starved to death....
It does not matter whether you are a deer or Lion, When the Sun rises,
Better be running at your best.. You only live once. What do you really want
to do and achieve in life? Let's think, learn & share. It is a
meaningful journey.

THE STORY OF LIFE
Sometimes
people come into your life and
You
know right away that they were meant to be there,
To
serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or
To
help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You
never know who these people may be
(possibly
your roommate, neighbor, coworker,
long
lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger),
but
when you lock eyes with them, you know at that moment
they
will affect your life in some profound way.
And
sometimes things happen to you that may
Seem
horrible, painful, and unfair at first,
but
in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles
you
would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
***Everything
happens for a reason.***
Nothing
happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness,
injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity
all
occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without
these small tests, whatever they may be,
life
would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.
It
would be safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The
people you meet who affect your life,
And
the success and downfalls you experience,
Help
to create who you are and who you become.
Even
the bad experiences can be learned from.
In
fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
If
someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive
them for they have helped you learn about trust and
the
importance of being cautious when you open your heart.
If
someone loves you, love them back unconditionally,
Not
only because they love you, but because in a way,
They
are teaching you to love and how to
Open
your heart and eyes to things.
Make
every day count.
Appreciate
every moment and take from those moments
everything
that you possibly can
For
you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk
to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
Let
yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.
Hold
your head up because you have every right to.
Tell
yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,
For
if you don’t believe in yourself,
It
will be hard for others to believe in you.
You
can make of your life anything you wish,
Create
your own life and then go out and
Live
it with absolutely no regrets.
Most
importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her,
For
you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And
learn a lesson life each day that you live.
***That’s
the story of life.***
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LIFE
Take
into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
When
you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Follow
the three R’s:
Respect for self
Respect for others
Responsibility
for all your actions.
Remember
that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn
the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don’t
let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
When
you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend
some time alone every day.
Open
your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
Remember
that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live
a good, honorable life. Then
when you get older and think back,
you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A
loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In
disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation.
Don’t
bring up the past.
Share
your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
Be
gentle with the earth.
Once
a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
Remember
that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other
Exceeds
your need for each other.
Judge
your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Approach
love and cooking with reckless abandon.
