Extremist

Extremity - 1. the farthest point 2. an unacceptable or extreme nature or degree The farthest point. That about says it correctly, an extremist will push the limit, will test the boundaries and go beyond them. Why? Because moderation doesn't result in greatness. If you ask your friends 9/10 will likely be people who do things in moderation. Nothing wrong with that, but for those select few people who REALLY want to make an impact on not only their lives but to those who they surround themselves with and even possibly the world? You must live life as an extremist. I have SO many friends who tell me everything is better in moderation. I say bullshit. You know what moderation most of the times provides? A sense of security, not too much risk, not too much reward, small joys and a balanced life. You like balance? You like regular? You like average? If you answer yes, to any of these questions then you don't aim for greatness, you don't aim for TRUE change, you don't aim for the extraordinary. You aim for safe, you can keep that safe and live with your what if's. I'll take the life that's worth speaking of. Now ask yourself who do you consider great in their respected crafts? What are some names that come to mind? LeBron James, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet? Those come to mind for me (biased on LeBron as I've seen him in my time & I'm from Miami) as 3 individuals who are wildly successful and because they took the extremist approach in life. This doesn't mean because you're an extremist you're guaranteed success. It's probably quite the opposite, if you live with an extremist mentality your failure rate will likely outweigh your success rate granted sometimes you nail it from the beginnings and become an all time great with your consistency over time like LeBron James. Now why is that? Shouldn't someone who does things at an extreme dedicated rate achieve success more often than not? The problem with that is that the extremist doesn't settle, doesn't like the average. So this means they must push open new doors that have never been opened, they must attempt at doing things in a radical way, an unconventional way because their way of thinking isn't the norm (average/moderate). But what about Warren Buffet and Steve Jobs? How did they become great? How did they impact the world? It's not because they said I'm going to try this and play it safe. NO. They said I'm going for a home run when they probably should've tried getting a base hit to win the game (God I can't believe I just used a baseball analogy). Nonetheless Warren Buffet's work ethic is published in many places and you can read more about it, and Steve Jobs has a movie you know the man wasn't moderate he always bit off more than he could chew and delivered someway, somehow. He pushed the envelope he innovated and now that he's passed way the head people at Apple don't share the passion he had, they are content with profits, and their loyal customer base. While Steve Jobs would've continued innovating. Instead Apple has mimicked it's competitors and have just become copy cats but with the stamp of Apple on their product. It's annoying, and it sucks. But you can teach someone to become an extremist about something when they lack the passion for it. Extremist doesn't just belong in the work field, but if you're going to apply it in that sense then do it with something you love. Otherwise it's going to be an unnatural force on your body that eventually will realize this isn't what you really wanted. People sometimes don't like extreme people because well, they're extreme. You ever hang out with a group of addicts? It's not an easy environment to be around if you're not participating in whatever the addicts are. The main thing about being an extremist for me is SELF CONTROL. Extremist are linked heavily to addictive personalties, why? Cause again, moderation sucks and if we're going to do something we DO IT. You need to realize when you have to cut back for a little or control the situation. You must be sure you have the right capabilities to provide whatever it is you are saying yes too if you're providing a service. So while being an extremist is almost always at 100mph you got to realize sometimes you must slow down. I'm an extremist (shocking right?). How? Well, I have a passion for what I do in owning my own soccer business. And it's success is highly dependent of me. What does that mean? It means I can probably do things in moderation and achieve success over a period of 5 years, the extremist in me sees the possibility of cutting those 5 years to 2 1/2 with a strong work ethic. But that comes at doing things at an unordinary pace. What are some of those effetcs? Sleeping 20 hours during a 5 day work week, working on weekends, staying up late, planning ahead, making projections, how to cut costs, and the list goes on. You can do these things probably over a period of let's say 2 weeks right while doing the regular day to day stuff. Or you can say I'm going to work 16 hours nap 4 hours eat if there's time and think of how can I take the next step in our growth. See most people are content once they get to certain profit margin and cruise control. But who in the WORLD ever cruise controlled to greatness? Nobody. You must push the accelerator at all times. Granted, yes do know when to slow down and manage things properly but continue to reach for more at all times. Love? Why bring this up, cause it correlates. You ever been in love with an extremist? Lol, sorry I literally laughed out loud. There is no I love you with them. It's I LOVE YOU and if we said these wedding vows that it's until death do us part then that's the way it's going to be. Don't think you're just going to divorce me, shit we probably have better chance of us death doing us apart then of us getting a divorce. You don't get in a relationship and quit 2 months into it, nobody got time for that. You indulge in wanting to figure out every little thing that moves them, you pay close attention to detail so that when you do certain actions you realize how she had a small smirk that she tried to hide. You take all those things into constant account to keep them happy because their love to you becomes of the upmost importance. Right now that love of mine is thrown into my business, I see when something as small as body behavior isn't right with one of my employee's, and I ask them what is it. In no way shape or form am I trying to micro manage either, on the contrary I'm trying to see in which way I can always improve and make things better for them as they feel is right. If you feel like there's no room for improvement then you should probably lay off the drugs cause you're doing that to an extreme clearly. Improvement is always possible because nobody is perfect. Enough for one post though, I wanted to share with you why if you really want to be great you must be an extremist. And share with you guys a little bit about my personal ways, this is My Life blog at the end isn't it? But anyways my end point here is simple. You want to be great? Then become an extremist don't push limits, pass them! Don't touch the boundaries, stretch them! Don't be afraid, fail happily! Don't doubt yourself, do what you love most! Do it to the extreme and watch how you change lives around and who knows maybe you'll make a real impact on this world.

Life Now @ 23

Edit: Thank you Diego, Jona, Diana, Crissy for motivating me to write again. Wow!! Since January I haven't posted on here, that might be the longest hiatus from the history of this blog! It would've honestly been longer but I was recently motivated by close friends saying I should keep writing. I wasn't sure who was still reading and who wasn't, but when the opinions of those who matter say I should continue writing, I listen! So today is a very special day for me, Twenty-Three years of age! That MJ number, and I'm trying to have a Michael Jordan like year! Aside from that it's one of the most amazing persons birthday as well my momma! Don't think there is -actually there is not a woman I know more supportive of my dreams, my happiness, my goals than her! More than just a mom really, a best friend, a constant worrier, an example, an inspiration, and a queen! Love you ma, happy birthday see you later!! So I was considering what to write about in this post, I figured I'd talk a little bit about life. I'm 23 life needs to slow down!! I'm trying to do so much still, I love traveling and want to travel to many far places! I want go in to the future so bad, but at the same time I want to enjoy every second along the way! Life will definitely pass us by fast though, so live your life with no regrets, do something for the first time, meet new people, take a chance, do something out of the norm, eat something different, be crazy. Life is so amazing, why live it to a boring level. Alright alright, I'm sounding cliche out here let me chill. I heard something in music the other day that's so true, "I stay thankful everyday cause I know my worst days are still some peoples best days or never will see days!" It's easy to lose perspective and take the food we eat for granted, the car we drive, the money we have, even the family we have! Live life each day happy, I remember just last week I was down and didn't want to do anything I was pretty demotivated. Then I got back to my old ways, hungry, motivated, pushing for my goals, messing around, a constant smile, always joking around. I get it, take life serious to reach your goals but seriously let loose. Laugh, do a prank, crack a joke, make a funny face, people say I'm growing up I don't have time for that I think you're crazy! If growing up means I have to be serious and talk about my insurance policies, and health care then I'm good. Y'all can keep that! I want to be young and vibrant even if I got white hairs!!! (I already do). I plan on doing things that scare the living shi* outta me. I will get on a roller coaster eventually I THINK. Why cause I ain't got time to not be trying to do something I hate. That's not a typo either! I want to something I hate because I want to be uncomfortable. How scary is it to be comfortable, and live safe, being average. Imagine you stop growing, learning, and just stay the same. Grow in something, anything!!!! I shout this cause it gives you reason to keep pushing forward for something. Grow in a sport, grow in a relationship, grow your business, grow your mind, grow an idea. Something!!!!! Alright for thoseeeeee that still care about my life updates (that is what this blog is about isn't it). I've quit playing professional soccer in pursue of something bigger, becoming an entrepreneur! I just opened up a franchise called Soccer Shots in Palm Beach County, Florida. Just opened up shop a month ago! I'm really crazy blessed to be able to work with kids in a sport that I love. I really hope to make an impact on some families through the game that I love so much! I'm also in the process of opening up another business venture that deals with soccer as well. Have two open ideas, with two different groups of friends who are trying to open up a business as well that I'm interested in. Uhhhh what else, I moved to Boca Raton, FL with one of my closest friends and former teammate Edvin, and a third roommate. My family is well, my brother is about to get married to the woman of his dreams and they go so perfect together I absolutely love them both like crazy! The bachelor party is coming soon, and wedding after that so excited for that day. My relationship life is as usual just living life enjoying every connection I make with people. To share ya life with someone would be so dope in my eyes, however I'm still working on me and don't see anyone that's worth the effort and time that a relationship really demands. I can't lie though I've created some new relationships that make me really happy, and rekindled some old ones, etc. I think that's about it on my end.... People often tell me I say too much, I expose too much, but I have a lot depth so what you see is only a casing for what's really inside. There's a very popular book that's actually one of three books I own it's called '48 Laws Of Power'. This book speaks heavily on not exposing much, however I disagree if I die tomorrow I don't want a mysterious life, I want everyone to know what I did. What I didn't do. Learn from mw the good, the bad, the stupid, the amazing. I aspire to inspire, to motivate, to touch people. How can one do that being close minded, being shelled off to people/the world. So learn from me, learn how stupid I was that I once let people who loved me cause I was always taking care of em when I'd go out bring me down and lose a contract. Learn how stupid I was to not take training seriously when I was younger and miss an opportunity to make it big in the professional soccer world. Learn how stupid I was to steal from my own family when I was younger. I'm transparent, I admit my wrongs, I'm open minded. But learn from the good as well, ambition will take you far. Family is number one. A relationship with God is an amazing blessing. Have dreams, and bring them to reality. Work harder than anyone else. Do something you love, don't get trapped in something you don't enjoy. Speak your dreams into existence. You reap what you sow. Give back to your family at any time you can. Take care of your GOT DAMN CIRCLE! If your circle is struggling BE the one who progresses them. Don't give up on people who have shown you loyalty, that's worth more than a snake with brains & money. Eat with those you starved with. 100 God bless & to another year of life, thank ya Lorddddddd!!!!

Sometimes you just have to laugh

So we're over mid way through the season here in Wichita and we're in the playoff race. Our next four games are very critical. We got to win I say 3 out of those next four to be in good shape for a playoff spot. So thats just the quick update on how things are over here in Wichita without too much being said. This past week was pretty crazy, I went to an invite only trial in Tampa, FL to try-out for the Tampa VSI Flames (USL). I was SO excited for as I'm always excited to be playing outdoor as oppose to playing indoor like I'm currently doing. I say it was crazy cause I had a game Friday night in Wichita against Rochester. A game we were "suppose" to win. Instead we lost pretty bad, it wasn't fun... So after losing that game Friday night I went home to rest ended up just staying up all night since I had to catch a flight at 5am Saturday. So on no sleep (not the smartest thing) I headed to the airport with my teammate who also was invited to this invite only trial in Tampa. Just got to my gate just as they were boarding (no surprise). So we got on the plane I caught a quick cat nap on the plane as we connected to Atlanta. From there hopped on our connecting flight to Tampa. Finally get to Tampa at about 11:30AM or so we had to be ready to train at 2pm. So we grabbed some power bars, & red bulls and headed to the fields. We complete our first day of training there, as for my self evaluation of how I did, I felt I did really well and stood out. Anyone who knows me, KNOWS that I'll be the first to critique myself so I was feeling real confident, plus friends of mine who were at the trial as well continued to compliment me, so everything was cool. I was suppose to stay at a friends house to avoid paying a hotel, luckily my teammate rented a hotel. Turns out my friend lives wayyyyy far away from where I needed to be so I couldn't get to his place. So I crash with my teammate he only asked for $20.00 for the hotel stay & gas. Thank God cause I really don't have money to be wasting like that, I don't make enough. Yeah, people have this assumption because I have nice things I have money. Let me clear that up real quick, I've been blessed with parents who want to give me all they can, I have a brother who doesn't hesitate to give me something if I need it and if I like something he almost always offers to buy it for me. Thank God for family huh? Also I used to make good money in my earlier contracts and is the reason I have other nice annemities I guess you can say. Okay back to what I was saying so I crash at the hotel with him for the night we pass out like at 9pm absolutely exhausted. Next day wake up at 7am and go out for our last day of training. Again I feel I have a great day of playing. At the end of the day I see the coach spoke with a few players one on one, he didn't speak to me. Instead I was spoken to with about 25 other players and we were told we'd be receiving emails in the coming days. I've been around long enough to know that means, they not interested in you. In the coming days I'd get an email we'll cross that later though. So after that my friend and I go chill out for a bit, then we head to the airport he has a flight at 7pm Sunday. My dumb self booked a flight to Chicago Monday morning to meet with the team that day and play a game at 3:30pm. Now remember my friend lived too far, and now my teammate was leaving the city so theres no hotel for me to stay at. I had enough money to get a hotel, but I don't have money + cab to be wasting like that. Sure, I could've called my mom, dad, or brother and said "Hey I have no where to stay, can you guys transfer me some money for a cab, food, and hotel please." I have ZERO doubt they would've snap sent me money, but as much as I have that luxury I hate using it. I'm not the type to leech off my family, they do SO MUCH for me as it is I feel like a burden to them sometimes. Not because they make me feel like that, but just how I feel about it. So I decide I'll sleep at the airport even though my flight didn't leave for about another 16 hours or so. So I lie down on the floor next to an outlet to have my phone charged and rest my head on my traveling bag. As I laid there knowing I failed another trial, not much money to my name, my indoor season not going as I envisioned. I thought damn I should probably be a little depressed, instead I took the latter. As I laid there I kinda just laughed at life. When you can laugh at life, it's truly a euphoric feeling. I laughed at my situation, and just thought hey its okay. You're doing what YOU want, you're chasing YOUR dreams, YOU get PAID to play what you LOVE. Not many people can say that, sure I don't live the best life. Can I live better in Miami with my family? For sure, but I could never comprehend if you have a CHANCE no matter how small it is, to chase your dream why not take that chance? So I continue to, regardless of ALL my failed attempts. Really, like I continue to fall, but I have such an AMAZING support system it keeps me going. I really just want to make it, to be happy but more importantly to give back EVERYTHING AND MORE to my family who's done everything possible for me. So after sleeping and waking up for 16 hours and eating a bagel and a Starbucks frap I finally board my plane to Detroit, from there get my connection flight to Chicago. When I get to Chicago I reach into my wallet and see I have about $75.00 I'm trying to savor every dollar I can. The team can't pick me up from the airport since they all traveled in a coach bus. So I head over to the taxi area and ask how much it costs to get to the hotel where the team was. The cab tells me it'll cost about $65.00....Again I kind of just laugh at the driver and say "Listen man I have $40.00 on me and about $2.00 in quarters could you just take me?" He sort of chuckles back and says yeah, that'll do. I finally got to the hotel, ate my teammates left overs from there dinner yesterday and a cold slice of pepperoni pizza. Again, I paused and laughed with two of my closest friends Kareem, and Edvin at our situation. They're pretty much in the same position I'm in right now at life. So we literally laugh at what I'm doing not showered all day, eating leftovers and a cold slice of pizza. Anyways from there we went to our game in Chicago, and it ended just like the whole weekend was not good. A bad loss to Chicago in a game that we really needed to win. After that hopped on a bus for a 12 hour ride back to Wichita. Finally got back to my house at about 8am Tuesday morning..... So that was a wrap up of my weekend, not the best one you can say. What I'm trying to get at with this post is that regardless of life throws at you be grateful, for your situation can ALWAYS be worse than what it is. And remember to laugh at life sometimes. It's not an easy thing to do, but enjoy life, remember the struggles, for when you do reach success life is gonna taste so much sweeter then. Cheers to your weekend being better than mine, and for the good coming weekends we're gonna have for the rest of the year. God is Good. God Bless

Friends

(A non proofread no edit post) Usually at the end of a phone conversation you click end on your cell phone. And thats the end of it. This conversation ended with just tossing the phone to the side and seeing the seconds increase as if the conversation were still going on. It's one of those where you don't want to hang up, but you feel hurt to where words would be just that, words. Usually words carry meaning, but sometimes you know when words coming without meaning or purpose. I decided to stay silent with so much to say. This is an immediate ramble post, and one speaking with emotion. I always felt the need to write off emotion as soon as possible because its the most truest thoughts being spilled out. Maybe sometimes a little over the top but nonetheless truth. How do you judge your friendships with people? Is it an X amount of time + Y amount of fun times = how good of a friend one is. Or is it X amount of conversations + Y amount of time they are there for you. Is it just the good vibe you get from them, the comfort, the easiness of being able to count on them. I'm thinking of how friendship is judged in my eyes. I judge mine on loyalty really, and by the amount of time the person has proved it. Obviously, naturally you must hang out with a person enough times for you guys to have that ease and comfort and knowing that the person is loyal. Do you have friends based on status? Could your best friend never be a drop out? Could your best friend never be a drug dealer? Does your best friend have to be a college grad? Does your best friend have to be exactly like you, or the opposite of you? I've had few best friends, the ones who have always been there are my blood. But along the days of my life, I've had people I consider my best friend, cause we clicked and I knew at the end of the day whatever I needed they would be there for me REGARDLESS of the situation. After trying to better my friend and not so much change him, but give him a future we have kinda distanced ourselves. Nothing really happened, and I think the loyalty is there which is something I respect more than anything. But I think we both realized we're headed different ways and he wasn't willing to come up, so I'd likely be falling if I didn't prioritize correctly. I've had other best friends who we became that over time, by being honest and real with one another about every situation. We want the best for one another and we got to telling each other so many like tight nit stories that nobody knows that we can literally trust one another with any piece of information. We also have common likes, and just click. No pressure or thinking of how one needs to act or something, its just all natural. Now what happens when lets say your best friend is of the opposite sex, and she gets in a relationship. You're known as the best friend, but from my observations doesn't it seem as if the best friend always falls way off. Like you guys used to be able to hang out no problem, but now theres jealousy theres constant questioning about your relationship with your best friend. And it seems as if coming down to it, you end up having to choose sides. Obviously the stronger more intimate feeling is with that person who you're with. But the other person has proved loyalty over time. What do you value more at this point? Ask yourself this as well, is your best friend going to be there for you when they get involved with someone else or they gonna cut you off. I'm all over the place in this post, but I don't plan on editing it. Cause I'm typing with almost no filter so I like this more. Now as your best friend, I will always want whats best for you, sometimes it may come off as hating. Honestly, I want what I feel is best for you, and will make you a better person. If I come to realize that I'm dragging you down because I'm not doing things right, then the ball is in your court do you choose to wait and try and lift me up with you? Or do you say you've only become a carry-on baggage that I no longer wanna carry. Now my problem with best friends and then one getting into a relationship, is don't get into a relationship with X person until they've seen and understand your relationship with me! That way when you do get in a relationship, that person knows how it is, there is no doubt and theres a level of respect. Cause of the loyalty you've proven over time, or occasions or whatever. ……I feel I may be the best and worse person to be loyal too. I will be there for you regardless and my loyalty will never be in question if you've proven yours to me. But by the same token sometimes ones loyalty is so much, its taken for granted. I sometimes give off an "I don't care vibe" just because I know that persons loyalty will be there at the end of the day. This is a flaw of mine, I wish I could change it. But at least I take recognition that I guess I'm an asshole. I say that because its really a fu**ed up trait to have. My loyalty won't be questioned, I would hate to break ones trust, or anything like that. But like I said, sometimes peoples loyalty is so strong that I don't take other times seriously. I think I'm done with the friendship part. I kind of want to get into something else real quick. When you're known for a certain act or thing, and it comes with who you are. Giving up that side of you is almost like an addictive drug. Cause you're an authentic person, you're a REAL person. So you feel like as if you can't change, cause if you do everyone will look at you differently now. And that thought scares you, that thought that people see you through a new lens thats unfamiliar to what you're accustomed to scares you. I'm done. Thanks for reading.

2012 Quick Wrap

What did I accomplish in 2012? I feel almost withered and non willing to write this new year post because 2012 was just simply put not good. I had some crazy life experiences, and some cool stories I can write about and tell you about for days. But what did I ACCOMPLISH, what did I LEARN???? It sucks when you read that and think "I didn't get much accomplished in 2012". What did I learn? I learned a lot about myself in 2012 and a lot of it gives me comfort, but more of it scares the shi* out of me. One good thing I learned was how much I truly value time spent with my family, and how much they REALLY mean to me. I learned some not so pleasant things about me, and its gross to look at. I don't feel as if I change that completely either which is the worst part, but I do feel like I can alter it defend myself against it at least into some slight moderation. I skimmed through my blog to see if I had a new years post but it seems my first blog post wasn't written till March in 2012. Sucks cause I didn't really set goals. My goals this year are small, they are small in the sense of what they are and small in the sense of a time frame. I figure if I work out on the little things the big things can come together but I must take it step by step, brick by brick. My goals for 2013. - Complete the Insanity DVD. (60 days) - Complete my diet regime of eating 4-6 meals a day. (60 days) - Workout 2-5x a week in moderation, because of training and insanity. (60 days) - Dedicate more time to a balanced lifestyle that includes God rather than social activities. - Stop wasting time/energy in social activities that aren't truly of interest. - Save money. Those are my goals for this year up to now. For those wanting to know how my second professional indoor soccer season is going, it's going not as good as I thought. I want to be playing more, I want to showcase my abilities more. But I hear a good motivation quote from ET not gonna put it in quotes cause its not accurate word for word. But it went something like, when you want something that bad, you not even worried about the games you spend more time working on practice and perfecting your craft then ever playing games. Greatness. It hit me good, cause I just took a different approach to training, somedays I'll admit I be upset usually after a game of not playing and my training day is weak, cause I'm annoyed. But most days I be out there running hard, getting in, and you'll get jokes like why you working so hard you ain't gonna play and its friendly banter. But I don't care so much for playing now, cause I'm working hard for me, for my future, for whats to come, for what GOD got coming for me. So don't worry about whether you playing now or not, keep grinding if its something you really want. So in short without to much detail the Wichita Wings season isn't going ideal for me, I'll continue to work and continue to be so grateful for the love I get from fans, friends, and everyone. Telling me to keep pushing, they'll notice you need to be out there soon enough. All throughout adversity you must respect your superiors. The decisions they make, what they ask of you, what they feel you should do. Respect, grind and keep working. Ima keep doing it and pushing it and I hope to see a reward soon. God is good all the time. But you must not quit when times get hard, even if you feel disrespected or you feel its unfair, however you feel you need to realize thats only gonna prolong you improving. You need to get over it, and continue pressing towards your goal. X amount of a hard work rate over a Y period of time = SUCCESS. BELIEVE THAT!!! I'm done with this blog hope your holidays and new years were wonderful. I promise to come out with a more detailed post soon! This was not proofread or edited, so enjoy the grammar mistakes!! God Bless!!!

Off to Wichita!

Well Miami is done! I'm flying out tomorrow morning back to Wichita, Kansas for my sophomore season with the Wichita Wings! I'm excited for this upcoming season, while in Miami I had a ton of fun I'm ready to play soccer all day & night. I have a "plan" for myself in Kansas, I always make plans because a goal or dream without a plan is just a wish. Now, do I always stick to my plans? History says I don't....I will hopefully try to and be able to accomplish the goals I have set ahead of myself. Some of the exciting things happening in Kansas this season is, I plan on coaching a local youth team. I recently got my coaching license, and it's a good HEALTHY way to stay distracted. I also shipped my car up there so I will be able to drive around this time and be more independent. The most exciting part probably though will be living with my teammate Edvin. We go back to playing together in Jacksonville, and last season in Kansas to now being roommates it'll definitely be interesting to say the least. Most of you probably want to know what happened while I was in Miami, basically worked for my father, played soccer when I could, went to the gym, and enjoyed the weekends. I lacked a lot of sleep this time around but did a lot more. No details this time around!! I did turn 22 while I was in Miami so that was like the biggest event that happened, along with my cousin having her first child Alexander "The Great"!! Anyways I PROMISE a more detailed post after some time in Wichita, after all with all the cold weather up there I'll be indoors much more and I'm sure I'll blog. I hope to stable my relationship with God as its an everlasting fight, Susan if you're reading this keep sending those verses through text message they brighten my day every time I read them. Thx you all for the support as always and love or hate. Whether you disapprove, approve, dislike or like thank you! I take the good with the bad always, and will always look for the positives in life. God Bless!!

Thanks to you.

Want to just thank all my readers for the support through the good and bad. I didn't open all the way up but I did open up to you guys to a certain extent. The support I got for yesterdays posts were awesome. I'm pretty happy I decided to post and not be selfish. I will continue to post as eventful things continue to happen. Just wanted to thank all you guys. Had over 150 reads yesterday alone, and the messages I got regarding the post made me realize I speak to more people than I thought. Till the next one.... God Bless
