On the list of great 2Pac singles, this one (kind of understandably) is way down the list. I only think I hear this once every couple years. So I was still hyped when it came on the radio and I still knew all the words. And is that a young John Singleton in the […]
My world it moves so fast today The past it seems so far away And I squeeze it so tight, I can’t breathe And every time I try to be What someone has thought of me So caught up, I wasn’t able to acheive But deep in my heart the answer it was in […]
Family is the ‘why.’ We’re all here as the product of two people, and nearly immediately our expectations and worldview of what ‘family’ is becomes formed. Do we have someone we call ‘Mother?’ Do we have someone we call ‘Father?’ How do those two people (mis)treat us? How do those two people (mis)treat each […]

For the second year in a row, I’ll begin Ramadan entering into a peak period of my life. I’m no longer ‘hitting’ my stride, I’m living in it. Around my birthday, I wrote a post referencing what it meant when you start living on ‘third base’. Deep fundamental changes start taking place… We all […]
