It is very seldom that I eat sweets, but Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, and Key Lime Pie are definite guilty pleasures…I could go for some Red Velvet now, preferably homemade and made correctly.

I Feel Like A …..

[Jay-Z]
black republican, money I got coming in
cant turn my back on the hood I got love for them
Cant claim my act has been good, too much thug in him
I’ll probably end up back in the hood like f**k it then
rumblin’ over the oven, we was like brothers then
though u was nothin other than the son of my mothers friend
we had nothin then, who would have thought the love would end
I suppose that happens to all good things
never known it was the same song that all hoods sing
thought it was all wood grain, all good brain
we wouldn’t bicker like the other fools, talk good game
never imagine all the disaster that one good brang
could bring, should blame the game and I could
its kill or be killed, how could I refrain
jealousy evil and pride and this brings
its all to a head like a coin, cha-ching
the root of evil strikes again
this could sting, now the team got beef between the post and the point
this put the ring at jeopardy

Hook by Jay Z

I feel like… Black republican, money I got coming in
cant turn my back on the hood I got love for them
Cant claim my act has been good, too much thug in him
I’ll probably end back in the hood like f**k it then

A labor of love, blood, sweat, and the proverbial tears. Better explained in previous posts, but a work I wanted to do some years ago, and then gained inspiration and focus to create.

My work, totaling 409 pages, depending on the version you have.

“Light At The End”
KS 3/27/12
I glanced at your eyes at the beginning,
Your face guided me,
I hoped for strength through this time,
My thoughts provided me,
There were times I felt we grew,
At others we regressed,
But all of those thoughts and feelings,
I held deep in my chest,
There was adversity, to compound atop,
My feet kept steady,
There were challenges and those who came along the way,
Though none as important,
Still in the stretch run, and there you are,
In you there’s something I found,
No
Not
You…
Because that YOU is ME…
