Heroes:

Ricky!
My sister.
She surfs better then me and is a Doctor who can fix anything.
"The smallest deed is better then the best intention."
The San Fransisco 8,The Shac 7,Copwatch,all those working for change,those who do what they love at any cost.
"If you know in this hotel room they have food every day and I knock on the door. Every day they open the door to let me see the party, let me see that they throwin' food around telling me there's no food. Every day. I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in- "We are weak, please let us in. We're weak, please let us in." After about a week the song is gonna change to, "We're hungry, we need some food." After two, three weeks it's like "Give me some of the food! I'm breakin down the door." After a year it's like, "I'm pickin' the lock, comin' through the door blastin." It's like, "I'm hungry." You reached your level, you don't want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin' with the Panthers, we were askin' in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin' are all dead or in jail, now what are we gonna do...and we shouldn't be angry!?"-Tupac Shakur
