I used to be a Musician....
....I used to be a Poet....
....and I once was even a Dancer....
But I was never a Man
until I became a Loser.
Matthew 16:24-25
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it."
I LOVE....

MY CAMERA AND YOUR SMILE
I'd like to meet:
"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked."
Maya Angelou,
for teaching me that we are more alike than we are unalike.
When you learn, teach. When you get, give.
And Rickey Henderson, because when I was in little league baseball baserunning was all that I was really good at.
Extroversion:
"I am somebody who is less intersted in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."
-Stephan Jay Gould
I only sang because the lonely road was long; and now the road and I are gone but not the song ....
Ernesto Galarza
from "Koda-chromes in Rhyme" 1983
"Why am I naked and sticky? Did I miss something fun?" Fry, Futurama
....The spirit of my people is starving, broken and sweaty
Dreaming about revolution looking at my machete- But the workload is too heavy to rise up in arms
And if I ran away, I know they'd probably murder my moms.... [immortal technique]
Something tells me that the ultimate test of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and moments of convenience, but where he stands in moments of challenge and moments of controversy.
