It's a blessing to have most of your friends alive and well at the 30's mark. It's also a blessing to know that everything is working more or less according to plan. It's somewhat disheartening when you realize that more could have been done towards moving further. Can't cry over spilled milk, though.
Now is time to Keep on Pushing....in the words of Bun B (Trill) and Kamikaze (Mississippi, represent). A lot of work. A lot of time, more or less.
I heard that one of our brothers (Dajum, Live Kingz...anutha New Orleans representa)will be in Houston towards the end of July. I don't know the exact details, but any music lover may want to look out for them. Of course if I get further details on the cypher I'll be laying it out for you.
Speaking of which, the Essence festival is coming up pretty fast. It doesn't seem to have the pizzazz that it used to have, but surely it's coming back up. 4th of July ain't but a couple weeks away.
The small world that we're in, I ran into a classmate from Sherwood Forest Elementary school!!! We're talking class of '87 (6th grade), here. Those were days of kickball and dodgeball, etc. Life took some drastic changes after then. I did a quick search, hoping to 'borrow' a pic in relation to the school and I ran across articles where the students were holding a conference to discuss school needs.
It's time for the communities to be more involved in their schools....nationwide and worldwide. As blacks we more than likely have the stack against us, but it doesn't mean that we're slated for failure. We need to shed that mindset and move forward. I'm blessed to be able to tutor an adult in basic math and she's doing very well in it, although she has been 15 years out of school. I would hope to impress on anybody (young or old) that anything...and I really do mean anything is still available to you if you would like to pursue it. You don't have to know something to learn it.
