You taught me about Movin' on up.....R.I.P

About Me

I'm sitting atop of the fence ready to jump to either side depending on which way the wind is blowing. But as of today March 25th, I'm runing full steam and I know what direction I want to head in. LIFE: You must be agile and adaptable, but there's limits. "You must know yourself. And in knowing yourself, you know that you know nothing because if you stay the same, you're not growing, and if you aren't progressin' you're staying still or probably dying." They say "sleep is the cousin of death" (I'll worry about that later). I've always had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and these few quotes have stuck with me. I have my parents to thank for dropping me in the middle of Money Mecca NYC. Got the hustle in me, and it's all about the money out here in this capitalistic environment...Unfortunately. Ultimately, all I want is to be able to lay in my hammock in Dominican Republic with a vegetable garden plus....Other shhtuff that there is no price for out here because it doesn't exist in the concrete jungles. It's just MY feeling of purpose, accomplishment and happiness...Anyway, I've been through a lot and thanks to all the past, present and future souls that have crossed my path cause I've learned and experienced a lot through you all. All in all "I just make sure I do it...Whatever it is...cause if not, I'll never know of the satisfaction" and It's gwon be me and only me contemplatin' it every day and night. Well, to break it down...feed me (some good ol' home made natural food veggies and all...I eat all dat shhhh) and I will remember you for life, if I'm hungry though, just kindly move out of the way cause it's best for everyone involved, and no one gets hurt.---- "Looking for Balance and finding it"----"The difficulties I've encountered, feelings of loneliness, spiritual emptiness, and personal weakness, are caused by separation from the Natural World"---- Thanks to Californ-I-A! I gots me some! May 23, 2005 - "Take everything for what it is...simple. No prejudices, pre-conditioned judgements, expectations, or interpretations"...----
