Received a call from V-man about coming along 

for a quick trip up 2 the local guitar spot. 

As a lover of music & slapping the bass since 

13, I was totally down for the experience.

You can't deny a man his toys...

(Nope!)

Don't even try!;)

V-man seemed 2 have caught 
the music bug & was actually 
looking for something 2 start with.

I on the other hand headed over 2 the 
bass racks for some play time.

This is what you call Toys R Us for grown folk...

straight up!...

Everyone has that hidden desire 

2 be a Darkhorse of some sorts 

& we're no exception.

Can't blame us for being dreamers man.

That's just how we roll.

yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

X-Man.

Growing up in the inner city of Chicago with gangs, 
violence & hopelessness, there wasn't much much 2 look 
up 2 on the positive spectrum. 

Options were extremely limited while diligently 
searching for something truly impactful until one day 
getting my hands on a small paperback 
Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley 
at a local thrift store....

A thrift store. Really? (lol)...

things surely happens for a reason;)

This is when things began 2 open up with the ambition 2 read about history, culture & identity. Amazed at how such a book about a young man with a troubled past while facing the odds during the 1960's could make a massive impact. 

One thing that stood out about Malcolm was his motivation 2 teach self while incarcerated making him one of our prolific thinkers of that time.

If he could achieve such a task, 
then what's my excuse?

From that point, life drastically changed knowing despite 
the condition in which lived, perseverance 
with a bold fearless approach would 
pay off 2 be so much more.

Knowing this, it become my duty 
& responsibility 2 ensure that his life is remembered with a greater appreciation. 

Hmmph...I wonder how would things be today
 if someone like him ever existed for he wasn't 
just any ordinary man....he was.. 
X-man.

(Yep!)...

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

MoveOn.

After arriving back 2 hometown Chicago for 

family & support, we decide on a few days 

@ the Weddington's getaway.

This would be the most perfect time 2 

gather & reestablish ourselves after losing 

big sister from her bout with cancer.  

(Rest in Peace Jackie...we loooove you.)

Brother Ken has been trying 2 get me out here for 

several years but the timing was never right...until now. 

This was the most perfect way 2 catch 

up on old times & just "chill"....

not 2 mention visit the pier where 

sister Vivian's ashes were laid.

Hmm!...looking back over those younger 

years, things may have appeared 
slightly dysfunctional 2 some but 
we considered it just a bit complicated..

lol;/  

It's been an absolute blessing 2 have wonderful 

memories & the opportunity 2 reminisce 

on what was good. 

The backyard barbecue parties, 

yearly gatherings

& just us being us. 

One massive lesson revealed is 2 make the most 

of every situation & don't worry about 
tomorrow for it's never promised. 

MoveOn man...Moveon.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)
