Hello Gary,
Your true potential your motivation and determination make you- unqestionable Up we rise like a rose in a cold city! May your week be filled with motivation and determination! XX~
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Your true potential
Even though you were delt a dark hand
The strides you will make are unaniable
your motivation and determination make you- unqestionable
Your possibilities and your end are but to- grand
Your true potential
Seeing only the bad never seeing it all
Intimidated by everything you never had
Made to fill unequal or limited by statics-
stated
But a true reality saves us before we fall
Our true potential
Now that our judgement is unclouded
Up we rise like a rose in a cold city
Our greatness shines and we are never to be- pitied
Our purpose and future ensure that were- never grounded
Finally our true potential

This beautiful (yes, beautiful) album has been in the making for over a year, us Noble Brats, have worked so hard to create a perfect mirror of our essence and did everything by ourselves. From recording to mixing to mastering. and the result has exceeded even our own expectations.
All the songs in this album are full of contrasts and a rockin' out exploration and critique of the different emotions that control our lives, emotions that might keep us in an unhealthy relationship even when we know it's not good for us, emotions that drive some to systematically cut into their own skin to get a sense of control over their pain, emotions that make us wonder about our place in this world.
So if you feel ready to take a chance and go on a journey into the darkness of our souls, we promise you a light at the end of the tunnel, you might even see yourself in our eyes.

Gary,

Thank you for being my friend!

The latest review is of Mariah Parker's "Sangria," which is an album of jazz instrumentals with a Latin feel including the rhythmic flavor and timbre of master tabla players Anurandha Pal and Debropriyo Sarkar, Mindia Devi Klein (bansuri), Paul McCandless (tenor sax), and Mariah on piano and santur.


Mariah Parker "Sangria" ~ Intoxicating unsquare Indo-Latin Dance of Maya music
Adrian Belew "Side Two" ~ 21st Century composition from the chrysalis of Nuevo Metal born . . .

Wussy (Eponymous) ~ This Wussy Will Hit You Like A Truck
IsWhat?! "NuTakes" ~ Avant Jazz Hip Hop Genius
Terry Riley "The Cusp of Magic" ~ Kronos Quartet & Wu Man..
Cedar Hill Refugees "Pale Imperfect Diamond" ~ Uzbek musicians, Appalachian singers and songs
Clare Means "White Bamboo" ~ extraordinary singer and songs
Jadoo "Prairie Fire" ~ improvised music from Uzbekistan and the U.S.

Hi there, Hope you’re doing just great!!!!!

Just a reminder!!!!

Have you been broken, battered, & bruised through life’s journey?
Have you suffered the consequences of yours/others mistakes, mishaps, misfortune; been discouraged, disappointed, disheartened etc…?

THEN THIS IS GOD'S DESIRE FOR YOU
Guaranteed success

‘It is not Gods will that any should perish.
'

‘Do not worship any other gods besides HIM’.


‘Remain in HIM and HE in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in HIM.


‘Delight yourself in HIM & HE will give you the desires of your heart.


It is impossible to please God without Faith.


So do what he tells you no matter how difficult, painful or long it seems. Hold unto his every word, & live according to it, because the word he whispered in your ear when you first met HIM is the word he pronounced over your life when he placed you into your mothers womb.


If you want to live a fulfilled life in this world & the next; then obey everything God tells you to do, & watch him soar through every area of your life.
(Psalm 1:1-3)

There is no greater joy than to live the life God created you to live & then leave this world saying ‘It is finished’ Father take me home.


TO KNOW GOD IS TO LOVE HIM = LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

(Matt: 22:37)

Pure Love

Valentine Treasures


Valentine treasures are people who
have often crossed your mind,
family, friends and others, too,
who in your life have shined
the warmth of love or a spark of light
that makes you remember them;
no matter how long since you’ve actually met,
each one is a luminous gem
who gleams and glows in your memory,
bringing special pleasures,
and that’s why this Valentine comes to you:
You’re one of those sparkling treasures!

Happy Valentines Day! XX~
MUCH LOVE ALWAYS ANITA

Hello Gary,
Snow is just the icing on the cake.
Greetings, then, and hopes for the new year,
Regardless of the temperature outside.
Each gift of time is cause enough for cheer.
Happy Holidays! XX~

Snow is just the icing on the cake.
Even as the Earth begins to warm,
And we reduce our footprints for its sake,
So will light from dark again be born.
Old customs, rooted deeply in the heart,
Now live on as atmospheric joy.
'Mid pines or palms, mince pie or mango tart,
Seasonal displays our spirits buoy.
Greetings, then, and hopes for the new year,
Regardless of the temperature outside!
Each gift of time is cause enough for cheer;
Each moment yet unlived a blushing bride.
Though the world be dark and warming fast,
In season's joy is something that will last.
Nor will we soon forget to celebrate
Grace so bountiful or gifts so great,
Sensing well the fortune of our fate.

Happy Holidays
