I don't need your photograph
-- Def Leppard

So in news, I turned 26 last week. To be honest, I had some troubles with this one. Just wasn't feeling the 2 to the 6. I am grateful to have lived to see 26, but 26? damn. Part of me screams, where am I going with my life? What happened to all the cool plans you had? Weren't you supposed to be ultra successful and renowned , revered and respected at 26? And not to mention the coolest cat on whatever block I was on. But then you grow up and realize that some of that stuff doesn't matter. In fact, the only one of those things I need is a little respect. Anyway, back to my birthday week.

I was so tired. It started with a bang on the Friday BEFORE my big day, with a friend's party. Out way too late and never recovered..... because SUNDAY, my lovely friends threw me a KA surprise party! And it was all good in the neighborhood and surrounding areas... Other stuff happened -- like going to see my boys Rascal Flatts -- who covered "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard, which prompted me to run right out and purchase "Vault" by DL. You should own that CD, for rizzle. Thanks to everyone for showing me the love -- you all rock hard core!

Anyway, much peace and love to my hood rats out there! =)

love y'all!
