He hopes to one day incorporate his newly found love of the piano into a stage musical on the life of Duke Ellington, one of his idols. "He is someone who everyone should know about," he says.

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
TALENT WANTED www.showbizzle.com showbizzle is looking for a video host to do our new behind-the-scene interviews and other humorous segments. Do you love to be in front of the camera? 1. Become a member on the showbizzle website (it's freeeee) 2. Post a sample video on your profile page that shows off your talents.
It doesn't matter where you live, all that matters is your talent.
The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on... DAILY :)
Tankism #25 Have a great week :) PS: see if you can "see" the picture below. It's pretty cool...
OMG! That was one heck of a fight scene on the Dollhouse tonite. Now thats a side of Harry Lennix that is rarely seen. There was one point where I thought I had to come through the screen and help you out, Harry. But, you pulled through like a champ just before I could get into my Wonder Woman outfit. LOL! My ghosh...Harry Lennix, action star...mmm mmm mmm! I can get use to this.
