A STAR is reborn!
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
REAL folks! U know...the kind of people you can hang out with over coffee in the early morning hours or amaretto over late nights. Little or NO tolerance for fake azz mofos or star-wannbes that front, stunt and cunt. (Yes, I KNOW what I just said!)
Being a Pisces makes me a double innuendo: I can be as sweet as the little gold fish and the most helpful of friends and confidants. But take advantage of and abuse the kindness and the piranha WILL come out and shred your bones!!! Now act like U know 'cuz I luvs all y'all like Jesus (c:
THIS is what I REALLY do when I'm not poetically challenging people to think past stereotypes and words. Oh wait...this IS me "poetically challenging" people. Isn't it a damn shame that decades later, soooo little has changed?!! And you have the NERVE to make an issue of what Obama's pastor said. READ AND RESEARCH YOUR HISTORY!!!

Mom and Dad (the original playas who loved and taught their "princess" like no other)...
Hubby Thanks for the good and bad times. They helped me to grow. And NO ONE could make me laugh like YOU. GOD, I miss U! But I'm back on OUR mission. R.I.P., beloved. I'll continue to rep well.
MYSELF...for making it thru some incredibly challenging times with my mind and spirit intact. We should ALL strive to be the type of person we look up to. That way, we can inspire others as well.
Grandma Rivanna Jones...She was an awesomely strong lady, a shrewd businesswoman and overcame the most incredible of challenges that MOST could not, especially for her day! My family says I have her spirit. GOD, I hope so!
Malcolm X isn't it obvious?! We'll sadly never see the likes of this magnitude and unity again. (Or WILL we?) The thought makes me cry sometimes.
Bill Gates (gotta respect tha playa that plays the game well with genuinenesss and sincerity)...
Dave Chappelle (gotta respect tha playa that refuses to let the game be played on them...but y'all don't hear us though!)...
Dr. Khalid Muhammad - one of my "goddaddy" (Are you getting an idea where the "attitude" comes from?)...
My FAVORITE radio folk and fam. The true movers and shakers and educators who are not afraid to share the wealth 'cuz they're secure within themselves. Oh, my peoples be brilliant! LET'S MAKE MONEY!
Babies and Children who dare to be different! You are the most tested, yet the most blessed. Remember that and play tha game allowing YOUR spirit to guide the way!
And Tha Divine Messenger and "spiritual big brotha" who no one understood then and still don't understand today. But, I got it, Sensei~
