Thursday, January 29th, 2009Greetings,
Amidst the euphoria and myriad of emotional celebrations some 400 years in the making last week there was another moment stopping event – albeit sad.
On January 19, 2009 Jose “Chegui” Torres left us.
For those not aware Mr. Torres was a true renaissance man.
As a boxer he became the first Latin American to win the Light […]
NOW WHAT…
Saturday, November 8th, 2008Greetings,
As we revel in the rapture of the once unthinkable let’s now roll up our sleeves.
This beautiful mosaic – put before the light and given the impetus by President Elect Barack Obama - of young, old, black, white, yellow, red, brown, gay, straight, disabled and non disabled people across this country now have to remain […]
NOVEMBER 4, 2008…
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life

A new world order, a brand new day
A change of mind for the human race

DISINGENUOUS DUPLICITY…
Saturday, November 1st, 2008Greetings,
I’ve had it with the duplicity shown by those who go out of their way to find tangible links between Barack Obama and the actions of others when the evidence suggests they’re revealing more about themselves.
It just reeks of so many things that distinctly prove they have nothing else to grasp at, and most importantly […]
THE CAMPAIGN SEASON…
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Greetings, as we inch closer to Election Day some pretty random thoughts have crossed my mind while observing the last 20 months of this historic Presidential campaign season. So, in no particular order of importance, here goes:
Barack Obama is an excellent example of keeping your eyes on the prize. From his middle name to his […]
BLOOMBERG TO THE RESCUE…
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Greetings, here in New York City voters have the pleasure of being told their votes don’t count, what’s best for them and who’s the one person to provide it, all with a smile and very deep pockets.
Billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg announced that he would seek a third term as mayor in spite of the wishes […]
MESSAGES IN THE MUSIC…
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Greetings, the beauty of music comes in so many different forms of appreciation.
The deeply rhythmic spiritual chords of John Coltrane’s saxophone, the strong proud voice of Chuck D. in front of Public Enemy, the priceless and timeless works of Earth Wind & Fire, Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, and if you really wanna know […]
TWO AMERICAS…
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Greetings, while watching the conventions of the two major parties in this country I can’t help but agree with the perspective of former Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards.
Now wait one second, I am not in agreement with his recent philandering and marital transgressions that placed his ego far above his courageous wife.
What I am referring […]
SHAWNE MERRIMAN…
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Greetings, later this week the National Football League season begins, and for the next five and a half months we’ll be inundated with football. I just hope that as fans cheer for their favorite teams and players, we - and Shawne Merriman - will not be lamenting his recent decision.
You see the six foot four, […]
YES WE CAN!
Sunday, August 31st, 2008Greetings, I never thought I would see the day, but on Thursday, August 28, 2008 Barack Obama was officially the first person of color to come this close to becoming President of the United States.
Before a lively crowd of 84,000 people from all races and walks of lives history was made with Obama’s acceptance of […]
