Granny- Ora Elizabeth Meredith Allison- who raised seven kids working hard farming; my family; anyone who puts higher principles above money, society's norms and the status quo;
About me: ...So have I loitered my life away, reading books, looking at pictures, going to plays, hearing, thinking, writing on what pleased me best. I have wanted only one thing to make me happy; but wanting that have wanted everything! ...In the onset of life...our imagination has a body to it. We are in a state between sleeping and waking, and have indistinct but glorious glimpses of strange shapes, and there is always something to come better than what we see. As in our dreams the fullness of the blood gives warmth and reality to the coinage of the brain, so in youth our ideas are thick with thoughtless happiness, the weight of the future years presses on the strong pulses of the heart, and we repose with undisturbed faith in truth and good. As we advance, we exhaust our fund of enjoyment and of hope. We are no longer wrapped in lamb's wool, lulled in Elysium. As we taste the pleasures of life, their spirit evaporates, the sense palls; and nothing is left but the phantoms, the lifeless shadows of what has been! My First Acquaintance with Poets, William Hazlitt, 1823.
Don't ya know, a diamond ain't nothing but a piece of coal that stuck with it. Brother Dave Gardner
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life; the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell

Yes, the league and David Stern love money..so does Capitalist America...and they will obviously do anything to push their product...I mean LeBron resembles Karl Malone with speed...and let me tell you how exciting it was to watch Karl Malone play! This boy wonder...well he is awful and unentertaining to watch...I f-ing hate Kobe, but would much rather watch him 10 times out of 10. "Karl Malone say, LeBron is my son he collecks stamps and stamp is fun to collecks."
You didn't even comment on my new video at the top. Here is a quote
"The world's a stage and everybody's got to play their part
God works in mysterious ways so when he starts
the job of speakin through us we be so sincere with this here
No drugs or alcohol so I can get the signal clear as day
Put my glock away I got a stronger weapon
that never runs out of ammunition so I'm ready for war okay"
-Andre Benjamin from the song

decision to put down
substances. His group went
onto...well you know the rest.
