My Real New Year’s Resolution…,

I Am Sharing This Article 2day As It Embodies All I Xpect, Pray, & Hope 4 All Of U In 2014!!!

This Past Year Has Truly Been A Roller Coaster As I’ve Run The Gamut O’ Emotions From Happy-2-Sad, Xhilirated-2-Depressed, Thrilled-2-Pissed, From Blessed-2-Stressed, & Everything In Between!!! I Am Still Grateful That My Supreme Power Allowed Me 2 Keep Standing So That I Could C Another Year Come Into Fruition!!!

Thanxxx 2 All Of U 4 UR Support & Encouragement Along The Way…, Regardless Of How Big Or Small It Was…, & Of Course I’m Wishing U The Xtreme & Utmost Success Going FWD Into 2014!!! SHALOM!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So this year is over and we are ready to welcome in 2014. Some us with have limitless excitement in anticipation of the year, others couldn't care less. Either way, for the upcoming year we should “StriveTo Make Ourselves Happy And Quit Depending On Others To Find Bliss Or Inner Joy!!!”

This was probably the year when everything people said to you caused a negative reaction: like making you upset or ruining your day, but those days are over come 2014. Claim It!

Life isn't just going to just hand you a bag of chocolates, plan it, make it happen for you. There are plenty of simple things that help; like spending time with friends, reading a good book, learning something new, exercising, or travelling to the countryside and having a relaxing afternoon — a new outfit can’t hurt.

When you constantly allow the words and actions of other people to negatively impact your life, you begin to DEPEND on others emotionally and allow external actions to affect your pursuit of happiness, which quite frankly, is a state of being that only “YOU” can create.

Use the five tips below to help you learn to live a healthier, happier and more productive life which takes place of the number one person in your life — YOU!!! Take control of your life and write your own story.

1. Accept What You Have: Truly happy people very often have modest levels of expectation and aspirations, and they know how to avoid disappointment. Accept where you are in life, set realistic goals, and stop complaining about the things that you can't have at this moment. Instead, work towards them. Google “Vision Board.”

AJ Thoughtz: Although I DO NOT Have A Modest Bone In My Body (EGO)…, I’ve Learned 2 Live & NJoy Quite The Simpler Lifestyle!!! It DOES NOT Mean I DO NOT Like Nor Want Nice Things…, It’s Just That I’ve Learned 2 B Comfortable W/Who I Am & What I Got!!! Bottom Line Is If I Want More Than What I Currently Got…, I’ll Need 2 Put In The Necessary Work 2 Achieve Those Next Level Goals!!! I Don't Plan As Well As I Should Bcuz I NJoy The Thrill Of Flying By The Seat O' My Pants!!!

2. Enjoy What You Do: If you do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do, without thinking of money and glory, you may find yourself genuinely smiling more. It makes no sense sticking to a job you hate just because the money is good. If you spend too much time trying to make money, you may be sacrificing yourself in the process.

AJ’s Thoughtz: I Was Always Told That If UR Life Work Is UR Life Passion…, Then U’ll NEVER Work A Day In UR Life!!! Well Currently…, That Ain’t Happening 4 Me!!! But I’ve Done Pretty Daggone Good Here In The Utility World Over 30+ Years!!! My Trick??? NE Tyme I Felt Boxed In, Stale, Bored, Or Frustrated, I DID NOT Sit Idly By & Simply Stew…, I Worked On My Skillsets & Positioned Myself 2 B Available 4 The Next JOB!!! Don’t Cry About It…, Do What U Gotta Do So U Can BE ABOUT IT!!!

3. Find Your Happy Place: Identify things that you enjoy doing and do them more often. Make them part of your routine. Don’t wait on a holiday to have fun.

AJ’s Thoughtz: Clearly If U Know Me…, U Know Fun Is A HUGE PART O' My Daily Life Focus!!! Muzak Iz My #1 Passion!!! I Have Ensured That It Will ALWAYZ B A Part Of My Life As I’ve Built Special Places In My Home That Keep It 1^st & Foremost In My Thought Process!!! I’ve Used Technology, Old Skool Things, & Continue 2 Educate Myself So It Never Fades Away!!! Between Muzak, Photography, Videography, Reading, Writing, & Technology I’ve Got Enuff Things 2 Keep Me Interested 4 A Lifetyme!!!

4. Maintain A Positive Attitude: Having a bad attitude towards life will attract negative energy in your life. Turn down the "BITCH LEVEL". You’ll find that you smile more and even the colors you wear will smile back. Put optimism into practice, recognize you hurt, but don’t dwell on it.
AJ’s Thoughtz: I Call It P.M.A. (Positive Mental Attitude!!!) The Only Person Responsible 4 UR Attitude Is U!!! U CANNOT Control What Happens 2 U…, But U Can Control How U React & Respond 2 It!!! I Strongly Believe In Karma & Negative NRG So I Work Hard 2 Keep The Good Vybes Flowing Around Me As Well As Rejecting All That Negative Drama!!!
I Can Get Incredibly Toxic When I Cross Over Into That Dark Evil Space So I Try Not 2 Go There!!! I Slip Every Now & Again (hey i am sort of human)…, But 4 The Most Part I Stay Relatively Happy & I Think That Iz Why More Folks Gravitate 2 Me Than Run Away From Me As They Feel That Kinetic Positive NRG I Try 2 Give Off!!!

5. Be Yourself: Don't compare yourself to others, and try not to worry about what naysayers think. Happy people are spontaneous and natural. Being yourself makes you feel free and authentic. Love yourself for who you are and not for what other people think of you. Your well-being is the most important goal in your life. Find meaning and purpose in your life.
AJ’s Thoughtz: I Never Wanted 2 B Normal & I Could NEVER Be NE 1’s Clone!!! I Am An American Original As God Truly Broke The Mold After He Made Me!!! I Am Cold, Callous, & Confident Enuff Not 2 B Concerned By What Others Who Mean AB-SO-LUTE-LY Nuthin’ 2 Me Think Or Say About Me & My Wayz!!! & 2 Those That Do Mean A Lil’ Sumthin’ Sumthin’ 2 Me…, If U R Going Against Me…, I Could Care Equally As Less…, But I Will @ Least Entertain UR Comments W/Some Thought Power Bcuz I Do Believe U Actually Have My Best Interests @ Heart!!!

I'm A Free Spirit, A Free Thinker, & Folks C The Authenticity (right or wrong) That Drips From My Soul!!! I Am Intense, Funny, Happy Go Lucky, & Deep Thinking All @ The Same Tyme So That Makes Me "SIMPLY COMPLEX!!!"
I March 2 My Own Damn Drumbeat & I Live In The Moment Oblivious 2 Those Around Me!!! I Dress The Way I Wanna Dress, I Go 2 Places I Wanna Go 2, & I Do The Things That Make Me Happy!!! If By Chance U Can Share In Some Of That…, Then Thanxxx 4 Being Brave Enuff 2 Take The Ryde Along W/Me Bcuz I NEVER EVER Truly Know Where I’m Going!!!

I Xsist In Tyme & Space As An Empty Vessel Continually Filling Myself Up On All The Wonderful Life Xperiences That Life Bestows Upon Me!!! Bcuz @ The End O’ The Day There Is NOBODY On Planet Earth Better @ Being AJ Than Me!!! I Am Still Supremely Happy W/Myself & Who I Have Turned Out 2 Be; Bcuz If U Don't Know U'd Better Learn 2 About URself..., As I LOVE ME SOME ME!!! LOL!!!

The bottom line is we cannot control other people's actions, but we can control how we react to them. Going forward into 2014, let's make a point of living a happy life without letting others influence how you live. The happiest people appreciate and realize that being happy adds years to their life and life to their years.

HAPPY 2014 PEOPLE!!!

LQQKIN' Back A Mere Year Ago 2day!!!

Let’s Go Back Into The Time Machine…,

With Me Coming Back From Los Angeles California, Las Vegas Nevada, A High School Football Game In Hamilton NJ, A NY Giants Victory Over The Philadelphia Eagles In Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field No Less; & Truly Just A Great Week Of Vacation, I Neglected 2 Write About This The Other Day!!!

A Year Ago Yesterday I Was Deployed Down 2 Our Southern Electric Division In Lawrenceville, NJ 2 Man Their Storeroom In Anticipation Of A Major Hurricane. I Had Worked Down There B4 On Storm Duty, But I Don’t Think NE Of Us Was Prepared 4 The Extent Of What We Were Going 2 Deal With 4 This During This Historic Event That Became Known As Hurricane Sandy!!!

I Landed There On Sunday Morning October 28^th, 2012 @ 7AM…, & I DID NOT Leave Until Wednesday Noon Time November 21^st!!! I Started Out Doing 16 Hour Days From 7AM – 11PM For The 1^st 3 Weeks…, Then Finally Tapered Off To 12 Hours Days From 7AM – 7PM As I Split Hours W/The Guy Who Came In 2 Relieve Me On The Overnights!!! 

 

Now Remember…, This May B Standard Operating Procedures 4 Our Electric Delivery Folks, But Ever Since I Crossed Over Into Management, OT Has Been Slim & None!!! That Very 1st 16 Hour Sunday I Worked..., Was More OT In That 1 Day Then I Had ALL YEAR LONG!!! LMAO!!!

My Manager Actually Called Me The Last Wednesday I Was There 1nce We Got Off The Daily 11:30AM Teleconference 2 Thank Me 4 My Service 2 That Organization As I Was Totally Removed From My Own Gas Operations. He Sent Me Home 4 The Rest O’ The Day (with pay) So I Could Relax, Get Myself Physically 2gether, & Report Back 2 My Regular JOB That Thursday Morning!!!

As U Can C…, I Was Plucked Away From My Desk Doing My Normal JOB & Thrown Headfirst Into The Electric Delivery Business (which is not my strength) 4 A 4 Week Stretch During The Most Incredible Event In The History Of Our Company!!! The Only Thing That Saved Me Was That I Was Sent Into A Great Group Of People!!!

Of The 4 Storekeepers I Worked With I Knew Jim Who Used 2 Drive A Truck 2 Springfield When I Was The Supervisor Of The Gas State Meter Shop, Kevin Knew Of Me Bcuz He Came From Springfield B4 Landing In Electric Delivery & He Stayed In Contact W/The Guys There Who Had Given Him The 411 On Me, & Ms. Gayle The Chief Who Had Ties 2 All My Boyz In Palisades So I Felt Like I Knew Her Already, (plus she’s a sister) So We Automatically Connected On Common Ground!!!

It DID NOT Take Me Long 2 Get Into A Routine, Establish A Rhythm, & Fully Integrate Myself Into The Electric Business!!! The Team Down There Xspecially Johnny & Doris Took Good Care Of Me 2 Make Sure I Wasn’t Left Off On An Island By Myself!!!

As Soon As I Got My 1^st Catered Meal Of The Day…, I Was DEFINITELY GOOD 2 GO Bcuz I Knew I Had Landed Into Something Really, Really, Kewl!!! I Met A Cast Of Characters Down There Who Made Everyday Interesting (slow motion sue, the ice queen val, wendy i am who i am, judy who r u, yuliya if u need ne help, krazy craig, customer ops michelle, mr. ambrose, the maintenance shop guys, & the senior leaders) The Mutual Aid Crews (utility workers from across the country responding 2 help us out during this event) Were All Comical!!!

Sidebar: 3 Folks Down In That Area Actually Passed Away Who I Came Into Contact With…, So It Just Proves Again How Fleeting Life Is & Why We Must NJoy & Live Life 2 The Fullest!!!

More Importantly, Even As Many Of Our Own Folks Were W/O Electric Power &/Or Gas Service…, We Got Up 2 Answer The Bell 2 Help Serve Our Over 1 Million Electric Customers As Well As Like 25,000 Gas Customers Who Were W/O Service!!! We Lost Like 75-90% Of Our Service Territory & That Was MIND BOGGLING 2 COMPREHEND!!! 

 

I Only Lost Power 1 Day In My Own Home, I Was In A Hotel Room (nice hotel) 3 Days W/O Power, Not 2 Mention Besides The Normal Bumrush On All The Grocery Stores 4 Supplies Was The Fact That There Was NO GAS Available As Major Refineries Lost Power & The State Of NJ Instituted Gas Rationing 4 The 1^st Tyme Since Probably The 70’s!!!

God Forbid If We Ever Really Had A Major Disaster Of Epic Proportions I Can C The Very Fabric Of What We Call Civilization COMPLETELY Falling Apart As Each Person Takes On A “ME FIRST” Mentality & 2 Hell W/Everybody Else!!! So Get UR Emergency Supplies Ready NOW As We Get Ret 2 Go Into The Winter Season!!!

LQQKING Back In Hindsight, The Destruction & Devastation That Ravaged Our Jersey Shore Line Was Krazy!!! The Water Swells That Came Inland & Destroyed Areas No One Thought Could Get Hit Was Amazing!!! & Just The Sheer Work Involved With Restoring That Many Customers From A Utility Repair Perspective Was Incredibly Daunting!!!

But We Did It, We Got Thru It, & We Survived 2 Tell A Tale That We Can Discuss 4 Many Years 2 Come!!! This Was Truly A Tyme I Was Incredibly Proud 2 Work 4 My Company Bcuz We Came Thru W/Flying Colors Compared 2 The Other Utilities In The State!!!  Now..., As Much Fun As I Had..., & As Krazy As It Was…, I Hope We NEVER Have 2 Go Thru Something On That Scale Ever Again, But If We Do…., I’M READY!!!

Take A Minute 2 Thank UR Lucky Stars U Came Thru Relatively Unscathed & Then Reflect How On How Hurricane Sandy Impacted & Changed UR Life!!! How It Forced U 2 Interact W/Folks U Would Not Normally Come Into Contact With…, & What Ramifications Still Linger On 2day!!! 

 

Because A Year Ago 2day…, I Stood Out On The Lawrenceville Platform W/A Bunch Of Folks & Watched The Trees Off In The Distance Bending Sidewayz As The Wind Picked Up & All Hell Was Beginning 2 Break Loose!!! Not 2 Mention That Lil’ Northeastner Snowstorm That Came In Right Behind Sandy & Added Just A Lil’ Mo’ Fuel 2 The Fire!!!

 

Just A Mere Year Ago 2day…, Our Lives Were TOTALLY Different Than They R 2day!!! We Were Changed By The Events That Happened That Day..., Much Like We Were When 9-11 Hit…, So Please NJoy UR Day 2day & NEVER 4get What U Went Thru No Matter How Big Or Small!!! CIAO!!!

 

Peep This Link 2 Unna-Stand Our Hustle!!!
Kudos 2 My Potna In Crime Brotha DeVon 4 Delivering Big Tyme!!!

Great Wordz Of Wizdom!!!

Great Words Of Wizdom...,

2day’s Message: “Nobody Can Love Perfectly, We’re Human & We Make Mistakes By Nature. But There Is Somebody That Can Love You Unconditionally, Somebody That Can Pray For You, Help You, Support You, & Genuinely Care For You As Consistently As You Need Them To… If You Let Them...

Stop Holding Back In The Present Just Because You Got Hurt In The Past. There’s More To Life Than Pain, But That’s All You’ll Ever Know If You Keep Avoiding Opportunities To Grow.

Remember: When It’s Real, It Won’t Be Perfect, But If You’re Willing To Work At It & Open Up, It Could Be Everything You’ve Ever Wanted.

So Be Willing To Try, Or Be Prepared To Miss Out.”

I Came Across This On Facebook & Almost Fell Out My Chair Bcuz The Words R So Powerful…, So True…, & Line Up Xcatly W/The Way I Feel In Regards 2 People & Love!!!

As Humans We Let Past Negativity Prevent Us From NJoying Future Positivity Bcuz We Lose That Capacity 2 Let Go & Let Love B That All Encompassing & Most Powerful Force In Life That We Know!!!

Life Iz ‘Sposed 2 B EZ…, But Life Iz Alwayz Full Of Difficult Moments As It Throws Unxpected Twists & Turns UR Way…….

But Itz All In How U Handle The Adversity Which Will Determine Whether U Can Move FWD & Stay Positively Motivated Or U Stand Still Shut Down & Allow Negativity 2 B That Place From Which U Operate!!!

I Want U 2 Rise Up & Reach UR Full Potential!!! Most People Settle 4 Mediocracy As If They R Afraid 2 B Great!!! Oh No, Not Me!!! U Can’t Tell Me I AM NOT “THE CATS MEOW!!!” Bcuz Even If Nobody Else Believes It…, Trust Me…, On The Inside I SURE AS HELL DO!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Yeah I Got OCD & I Like Ish The Way I Like It…, But U Know I Will Bend & Compromise In Order 2 Make Sure We Share In This Journey Of Success… Case In Point…

Last Night Instead Of Our Standard Rehearsal, I Had A De-Brief Session W/The Band As We Spoke About The Gig That Passed Last Friday, New Tunes We Need 2 Add 2 Our Catalog, Potential Gig Opportunities, & General Ways 2 Improve The Band!!! The Highlight Of The Night Was Our Discussion Of The Intro To Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing” Which We TOTALLY BLEW During Our Show!!!

They Chuckled Bcuz All U Hear From Me Through My Mic 1^st Is “Alrighty Now,” 2nd “Let’s Get It 2gether,” & 3rd “Clean This Ish Up,” & Then Finally “Let’s Go” As We Launch Into The Vocal Refrain Of “I WILL LOVE U NE WAY!!!”

It Was My Son’s Mistake On Keyboards That Threw It Off & They Said My Comments R DEFINITELY My Normal M.O.!!! I Start Off Nicely W/A Warning, I Get Slightly Stern W/Escalated Concern, & Then I Tear Into Them W/Paternal Love 2 Get ‘Em Back On Track!!!

In The Heat Of The Moment On The Bandstand As My Brain Is Processing 1,000 Signals…, Sometimes Itz Hard 2 Make Everything Flow Along Seamlessly…, So I Revert Back 2 My “GET IT DONE” Leadership Style!!! I Tell Them “We Do This Thing We Say We Love, On Stage We R Professionals @ Our Craft, We Put The Work In 2 Excel @ What We Do, So Making Mistakes R Unacceptable!!!”

Now Of Course We All Make Mistakes…, I Just Set That Bar That High 2 Demand They Reach 4 The Best They Can Possibly B!!! Most Mistakes R Simple, Minor, Correctable Things!!! Its Rare We Have A Total Flameout, Train Wreck, Crash & Burn Situation!!! I Attribute That 2 The 3 Years Of Training They’ve Spent In The “AJ Bootcamp Of Musicology!!!” Just Know That U Tooooo Have Been Enrolled In The “AJ Bootcamp Of Love” If U Feel My Wrath Coming UR Way!!! Have A Fantastic Friday LMAO!!!

2day’s Message: We all need somebody to believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. We all need people who will push us up, so to speak. After all, there are enough people trying to push us down in life. There are enough people telling us what we can’t become and how we don’t have what it takes.

I know in my own life, I wouldn’t be half of who I am if it were not for Victoria. She has spoken so much faith into me. She has called out the potential on the inside.

I believe we all have the responsibility to do this for others. Let’s push people up. Let’s look with our eyes of faith and see their potential and tell them what they can become. If you will be that person for somebody else, God will make sure somebody will be that person for you.

Friend, every person has seeds of greatness inside. You can cause your children to rise to a new level. You can be the catalyst for your family to do things they never thought possible. Your words have creative power. When you speak vision, that can be the seed God uses to thrust them to a new level. Joel Osteen

Pursue Loyalty!!!

Mood: Determined
Music: Jill Scott "It's Love" Jill Scott Words & Vol. 1

I Just Had This Conversation The Other Day…,

2day's Message: Have you ever noticed that righteousness and loyalty go together? In other words, if we’re not being loyal — to our family, friends, country, job — then we aren’t going to experience God’s best. Loyal people are honorable people. When you’re loyal, you stick with someone through thick and thin. When you’re loyal, you keep your word to people — even if you get a “better” offer.

Loyal people are respectful of their country and leaders. Loyal people honor their parents and defend their family. When you’re loyal, you are a person of integrity. You build trust with others. Is this an area where you can rise higher? Are you faithful in the things you’re committed to?

Can you be more loyal? Don’t let the distractions of everyday life keep you from being dedicated. Look for ways to show honor to those around you. Is there something you need to set aside for the sake of a loved one? Show love by staying loyal. As scripture promises, when you pursue loyalty and righteousness, you will find the abundant life God has planned for you! Joel Osteen

If There Is 1 Trait I’ve Carried W/Me A Lifetyme…, It’s LOYALTY!!! I’m Loyal 2 My Sports Team, My Friends, My Family, My JOB, Products That I Buy, & Musical Artists That I Love!!! I Am The Type Of Loyal Person U Need In UR Corner…, Bcuz If I Am W/U Then We Go Down In Flames Swinging 2getha!!! My Loyalty Is Not Fleeting…, Nor Here &There…, It Iz 4ever & A Day!!!

The Way That Bond Is Broken Is By U Walking Away Or Doing Something Detrimental 2 Me!!! 1nce U Breach That Trust…, I Won’t Say NEVER…, But The Odds R U Ain’t Ever Coming Back!!! Bcuz W/O Loyalty, Honor, & Trust…, Nothing Solid Can B Built!!! I Will Give U My All If I Know U Would Ride Or Die & Do The Same 4 Me!!!

If U R A Fair Weather Type…, U Will Get The Same In Return Bcuz I Will Put ZERO Investment In U Bcuz My Tyme Is Precious & Valuable 2 Me!!! Itz The 1 Thing That I CANNOT Get Back No Matter How Hard I Try!!! I Choose Those Connections Wisely Bcuz I Know How Difficult Life Can Get & How Many People Turn Tail & Run 4 The Hills When Things Get Hard!!!

Itz In The Difficult Tymes When U Truly Find Out Who REALLY Has UR Best Interests @ Heart!!! Others Quickly Show Their True Color (Yellow – Cowardice), (Green – Jealousy), Or (Red – Envy) & Away They Go Believing They Have Sabotaged U & UR Efforts!!!

If U’ve Got An AJ In UR Camp…, U Have That Person Who Will Get Down & Dirty W/U So That We Both Can Rise Back Up From The Ashes Like A Phoenix Shooting Higher, Faster, Stronger, & Farther!!! Choose UR Soldiers In UR Camp Wisely…, Cause Even Caesar Got Taken Out By Brutus!!!

P.S. 2day Is 9/11 Another Day Like My Birthday Dec. 7th That Will Live In Infamy In America's Psyche!!! 2 All Of Those That Lost Their Lives & Those Who Suffered In The Process..., My Heart Goes Out 2 Ya!!! 2 All The Rest Of Us..., "KEEP UR HEADZ UP & NEVER EVER 4GET!!!"

Good Morning 2 U...,

After That Incredible Rousing Speech By 1st Lady Ms. Michelle Obama..., I Was Tingling All Over!!! Of Course The Haters & Nay-Sayers Will Have A Field Day W/Her Wordz..., But That's Okay Bcuz Her Message Wasn't 4 Them!!!

It Was 4 Those Folks Who Identify W/Her As An Intelligent Black Woman, Who Is A Mother, & Happens 2 B Married 2 The President Of The United States!!! She Was Articulate, Passionate, & Delivered A Heartfelt Speech That Rocked The Hizz-House!!! Barack Better Watch Out..., He's Got Some Stiff Oratory Competition In The White House Now!!! Go Shelly, Go Shelly!!! LOL!!!

Check 2day's Message & Ask URself How Do U Celebrate Others??? Do U Encourage, Cheer, Rip Down, Or Destroy Them??? Bcuz That Karma Thang Can B A MOFO If U Not Placing UR NRG In The Right Space!!! Read On!!!

2day's Message: When a friend or family member succeeds, gets promoted, or experiences an unexpected break in life, how do you respond?

Some people wonder, “What about me?” Others criticize or say, “It won’t last long.” But really, the way you respond to other’s success will determine the level of your own success. Whether you respond in a negative or positive way, you are sowing seeds for your future. That’s why scripture tells us simply to “rejoice with those who rejoice.” God wants you to be successful. His commands are for your good. He doesn’t want jealousy or strife to enter your life or rob you of His blessing.

Today, make it a point to find someone who is celebrating and celebrate with them. Congratulate them on their success no matter how small it seems in the natural. Rejoice with those who rejoice, sow seeds of blessing, and open the door for victory in your own life in return! Joel Osteen

If U Know Me Well U Know Just How Much I NJoy Poli-Tricks!!! I Ran 4 District Leader In My Own City In The Mid 90's So I Got A Good Taste Of The Action!!!

I Like 2 Say "Even If U Don't Think UR Involved, U R Involved Bcuz Politics Determines The Outcomes Of Our Lives Every Single Day In Every Single Thing We Do; & Those Who R Involved Effectively Help Make Those Choices As Opposed 2 Those Who Sit Idly By On The Sideline & Watch The Parade Go Down The Street W/O Them & Wonder Why Nothing Good Is Happenin' 4 Them...."

& @ The End Of The Day If U Don't Do NE Thang Else..., Please Vote..., Bcuz I Also Say, "Sure They May All B Crooks..., But I Need 2 Vote 4 The Crook Who's Gonna Have My Best Interests @ Heart!!!" U Should Do The Same!!! Strap In & Hold On Tight Cause Things R Gonna Get Smoking Hot In These Upcoming Months!!! Uh-Hmmmm!!!
