The Peace!…with 2 Collection.
Time for an early start
with lots 2 do…
Ugghhh…
In retrospect, seems like no one ever did.
Well at least I try.
ya think?
Oh yeah!…let’s ride.
Peace!…with 2 fingers;)
I’m not sure how 2 express myself regarding something that’s been affecting me lately…ok. There are times when I think about my past life. The excursions, poor choices, triumphs, failures, escapades & all those other things.
Along with meeting people who have since became great friends, acquaintances & sorts, I’m truly blessed. Able 2 elude the madness that plague the city streets of Chicago while living smack dead in the middle of it all is a testament in itself.
Lately, I’ve been sorta coping with being 45, while those I knew & loved passed on. Death is something we usually try 2 avoid cause honestly folks life is better & no one is looking 2 transition anywhere….well most..
But dayum, wish I could push that rewind button….just a few years so I could say whaddup 2 a few. Sister Vivian who was my running buddy for years & truly appreciated for those “Den” days. Mike, Wayne, Shannon…(just way 2 many)…
We even lost Micheal Jackson & Prince in the same lifetime….really?
Always felt as if they’ll live forever man!
Dealing with this imminent fact that death is real & we all have a date forces me 2 see life through a much deeper scope.
Just gotta make it right now & leave the simple things behind for it matters none.
Much respect 2 The Fallen. Never 2 be forgotten.
Peace!…with 2 fingers;)
I couldn’t ask for anything better when it comes down 2 son Khalid. Over the years, people have shared personal horrid stories about the trails & tribulations of raising a 16 year old but thus far on this end, I’m set…
So I like 2 think.
I can remember when I was 16 when everything was confusing but still I believed I knew it all. Poor choices were made & petty matters were more difficult than they had 2 be…so looking at it from that perspective, yeah, we’re good.
I know young people need 2 have a choice all for the sake of personal empowerment but remember I’ll always be dad.
Readily available 2 teach you about the things you’re not so sure about even if I don’t even know myself, protect you from the ills of this sometimes nasty world & just be THERE….there’s certainly a whole lot going on in theses times so it’s probably best 2 be that way. Would you think?
Thinkaboutit.
Peace!…with 2 fingers;)
I find the greatest joy when able 2 capture monumental moments & experiences of others especially with family.
It’s amazing how time flies & would pass you right by if you’re not paying attention.
Today is nephew Kenny’s prom night…(well let him tell it, his 2nd in 2 weeks)…like they say, if you got it, you got it.
Next stop….
C.O.L.L.E.G.E.
You go my man:)
Thanks big brotha Reggie for capturing the experience & being the beautiful nuisance that you are.
I say that with lots of love & understanding.
Always fun.
Peace!…with 2 fingers;)
