WELCOME TO MY JOURNAL!!!

Whenever I have something on my mind...
this is where I come to get rid of it.

Although most people do all the blogging on their websites, I have decided to invite a couple of people who I feel should be doing this professionally to join me. One of them has already left an entry, and the other will begin soon. Check them out. They both have very beautiful minds...

If you would like to post a response to a blog or even start one of your own, just send it to me, and I will gladly post it for you (as long as their is nothing too inappropriate in the contents).

Life's "Reset" Button

Posted by De'Wayne Simpson on Tuesday, April 21, 2009,

Life is soooooooo not set-up to for starting over. Sure, it may have been that way in the past, but it surely isn’t that way anymore. Banks, businesses, everything is set up to have you trapped as long as they possibly can.

While ridin around the city tonight, I saw something that caught my eye in a wonderful way. I saw six young boys on a basketball court in southeast DC. I also saw two uniformed police officers at the same park. I watched from the front of a line at a red light. After a couple of seconds, I realized that they were playing four-on-four.
