FIRST . . . I want to send out prayers to Shakir Stewart’s family & friends.

I have had the pleasure of kicking it with him a few times & all I can say is what a generous man!!!! I didnt personally know him, I was introduced to him through close friends & co-workers. But he was the most welcoming guy I’ve met in a very long time. He made sure that everyone around him was happy & had no worries. So, I pray that his family keeps GOD 1st & know that even though Shakir isn’t here in the present, he’s still going to make sure that everyone he luvs will have no worries . . . R.I.P. (Sigh . . . Deep Breath)

Memorial services will be taking place this week.  His family is asking that you please log onto www.shakirstewart.com to find out more information on the memorial service & how to make donations to “The Shakir Stewart Memorial Fund.” 

SECOND . . . I want to give out a CONGRATULATIONS to our NEW PRESIDENT!!!!

I am so proud to be a part of The New America, The New United States. Now, it’s up to US!!! We have faith that he won’t fail us, but at the same time, WE can’t fail him.

So, in the words of Jeezy, “LETS GET IT!!!!”
