used to watch it all tha time.... now I'm tryin to stay away from it as much as possible... ask me why if you really need to know
I read a lotta "how to" books. Into things that stimulate my mind.... books about things you dont see often.... or never bother to think about.... anything else is just "writing" to me. - I write my "thoughts" in the form of poetry... maybe it'll be a book one day...
Baha'u'llah (paved the way), My Brotha (an inspiration), All Baha'i Martyrs, My Dad (a stong man of heart), Bruce Lee, Michael Jackson,
those who ispire me:
ie: Musicians, Poets, best friends (inspire me to be a better person),
...and anyone and everyone who told me I had potential... they gave me a lotta hope...
and to those who put me down, thank you too, it made me stronger.
