About Me

B-boy'n since elementary, Emcee'n thru tha century.. keep'n it + iz how ay liv ;D OB1 iz 4 tha kidz! =) a cool quote a new friend sent to me: "If there is no enemy within, the enemy out side can do us no harm. " my ancestors (much respect and praises due!) hailed from these countries: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ECUADOR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^IRELAND^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^CROATIA^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The UKRAINE^^^^^^^^^^^^^ & ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^GERMANY^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^They were mainly poor and working class individuals, and they wanted a better life and opportunity, so they found there way to this country where i was born and raised. They were humble people, and were not involved in politics or the many evil acts in which this country was founded on. They were mainly immigrants like the rest of us, and when they came here, most of them weren't considered 'white' or the majority. They weren't priveleged at that time, nor were they slaves. We were the working poor (proletariats), just trying to make better for themselves and our family...ok that's enuf of the past, although the past is imporatnt, because if we forget about it how will we know where we are going and learn how to progress to where we need to be?but as for me.. "notorious, glorious, knowledge is infinite i live in a fortress; I'm so astronomical but on a physical plane the bodies just a shell but the control is my brain; I strain, to gain spirituality so i can finally be, in harmony with the all eye seing supreme being knower of mysteries and histories; I'm mystic also stylistic, not materialistic simplistic, humble while others stumble, rumble..nah that's not likely thats in my old school dayz like spike lee and smoothe B gets better with time i should get an endorsement for creating fresh rhymes; and as i grow older lyrics get hyper cause i'm the dominant black pied piper, spreading peace and love through out my travels; and take time to read and unravel day to day problems and then solve them..." - Smooth B from Nice & Smooth - Funky For You "...don't give me your hate or any of your jealousy just because i embody everything that you wish you were but were always too afraid to be!" -me representin for 'tha old school'.. all my in house/ynu/funky unit/jvc/greenhouse effect.. etc. b-boy homies from southeast daygo, back in tha day! i know y'all can remember and appreciate this ish ryt heeyur!i'm a and a crazy i'm a spiritually idealistic realist. i'm predominantly liberal minded, i'm socially/politically/culturally conscious/knowledgeable/experienced. i'm also a serious and extremely compassionate, considerate, and funloving young man. some say i'm sensitive, i describe myself to have a more emotionally expressive and empathetic nature than the common male. i have my typical male moments tho, quite often.. (heh heh!) ;p i socialize best (and choose my associations) with people who have a heightened capacity of emotional maturity. i have a strong silly, abstract, and sometimes goofy side. i love to laugh, especially in times of conflict, discomfort, or misunderstanding, doing my best to make lemonade out of life's lemons, mostly through(often sarcastic)humor & laughter. i've lived thru alot of struggle. i'm a fairly well rounded and cultured individual. want to know more?... get at me ;DWe have the most criminal regime in all of our history wreaking unspeakable horror on the entire planet, while simultaneously waging war on the consciousness of its own citizens - US. If we aren’t aware?of this, we are unwittingly playing into, supporting and complicit in?the evil that is being perpetrated in our name. Click

but more importantly: A simple nine-pointed star is generally used by Bahá'ís as a symbol of their Faith. The number nine has significance in the Bahá'í Revelation. Nine years after the announcement of the Báb in Shiraz, Bahá'u'lláh received the intimation of His mission in the dungeon in Teheran. Nine, as the highest single-digit number, symbolizes completeness. Since the Bahá'í Faith claims to be the fulfillment of the expectations of all prior religions, this symbol, as used for example in nine-sided Bahá'í temples, reflects that sense of fulfillment and completeness. Excerpted from The Bahá'ís, a publication of the Bahá'í International Community. The Greatest Name "Yá Bahá'u'l-Abhá" . . . the symbol of the Greatest Name represents an invocation which can be translated either as 'O Glory of Glories' or 'O Glory of the All-Glorious.' The word glory used in this connection is a translation of the Arabic term Bahá, the name of Bahá'u'lláh. - From a letter from Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States and Canada, April 28, 1935. Purpose and Meaning of the Bahá'í Ringstone Symbol: The purpose of the symbol that appears on Bahá'í ringstones and other Bahá'í identity jewelry is a visual reminder of God's purpose for man, and for Bahá'ís in particular. Bahá'í identity jewelry often is a conversation starter about the Faith and may be considered a teaching and proclamation aid. What it means The three levels of the design represent: the world of God, the Creator, the world of His Manifestations, and the world of man. The virtical line joins the three horizantal bars together in the same way that the Divine Messengers of God form the link between the world of God and the world of man. The twin five-pointed stars on either side of the design represent the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh, the twin Messengers of God for this age. The ringstone symbol was designed by ..Abdu'l-Bahá 1 and rendered by Mishkín-Qalam, a close companion of His and the leading calligrapher of Persia. 2 The Ringstone symbol used on this design is a reproduction of the original design by Mishkín-Qalam. 1 ..Abu'l-Qásim Faizí, Explanation of the Emblem of the Greatest Name, p. 3. 2 ..Abdu'l-Bahá, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 97. "The North American believers are...the spiritual descendants of the Dawn-breakers, to go forth and help win the Crusade"------------------------------------------(Custodian s, Ministry of the Custodians, p. 145)-------------------------------------------------------- ------.. .. ..
