Water it Down

You may have heard the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Dr. Masaru Emoto proved, with science, that words can hurt. I thought it was a hoax (and I still have my doubts), but the concept is super interesting. [Yeah I’ve got pep in my step, don’t

Trust Is a Must

Get to a shrink Stir the tea and sink Feelings, thoughts, are scattered, screaming Distraction comes and I start dreaming Get your one track mind to circle Oh did I do that? Steve Urkel Law and Order, Stop the crime Keep it goin, spit a rhyme Doin justice This ain’t just us Hell yeah, God’s

The (Re)use of FORCE

Kind of like grieving the loss of my health, I go through denial (I’m healthy, I swear!) Shock (The

Search for Serenity

So I didn’t even buy this book…I found it in a seat that a man was sitting in the day before. He had on an LSU hat and had one of the greatest shares I’ve ever heard. Surprisingly it’s been one of the greatest books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. I’m not done with

Innumerable Notes
