Something tells me that when the pain gets too tough,
There is something you may have to give up.
Something tells me when it gets too much to bare,
Look around and see who will be there.
Something tells me that when you're being dragged down,
You may have to be quiet and not make a sound.
Something tells me when your emotions are crazy,
Good things are on the horizon that you may not see.
Something tells me that when a situation leaves you unsure,
You may have to leave it alone for strain not to endure.
Something tells me that confusion is apart of life,
And when things look bleek to continue to fight.
Something tells me things happen for a reason,
It may be the time, or it may be the season.
Something tells me that this isn't what I planned,
But it's not up to me so i'll put it in God's hands.
Something tells me that I may still be doing too much,
While dragging down others and becoming a crutch.
Something tells me that all the love inside of me yerns,
There are still so many things I must have to learn.
Something tells me that when people read this they won't know what to think,
Just remember that the chains in my armour are not all linked.
Something tells me though that it will all work out just fine,
It would not have come this far to dim my shine.
It's the holiday season and maybe that's the blue,
For up until this point it had been shiny as new.
I hope it for my mom also and my family,
Without them there would be no loving me.
For 2010 is sure to be a better year,
At least I hope, I sure do need more cheers.

Daily Word
This was taken from Our Daily Bread for today's word:
"There are times when difficult circumstances or personal loss can cause us to feel that Christ has been stolen from our Christmas. How can we find Jesus when life seems to be working against us?"
Isn't that enough said. If I didn't get ANY gifts, presents, or any monetary gain from this Christmas, all I ask is that Jesus spread His love upon me (and my people), and that I am able to gain back some serenity and prosperity in my life. All I want for Christmas this year is Christ Jesus.

Are you ready?
Well well well. It looks as if we will certainly have a Pacquiao/Mayweather showdown as expected. It is apparent that Mayweather has agreed to the deal and that several venues are already expressing interest, including the billion dollar stadium of the Dallas Cowboys, headed by Jerry Jones. They say the date is set for March 3rd or May 1st. I would figure May would be better for Pacquiao but being the tornado that he is, who is to say. This will be one for the ages, one that I will HAVE to see live. One that may help bring boxing back to the fore front, at least for the time being. I can't wait for this one.
Also, Bernard Hopkins was set to fight Roy Jones, Jr. in March also (don't ask me why). Now, Roy Jones went overseas and got destroyed in the 1st round by a European (or something). Now, his chances with Hopkins have died and Hopkins actually fights tonight. Very weird. For one, why would Hopkins and Jones wait until NOW to do a rematch. Fans have been waiting for that for over a decade, but not NOW. Not with a diminished has-been like Roy Jones and Hopkins whose fights can bore you to tears (not including his last destruction of Kelly Pavlik, which was a masterpiece if I do say so myself). In any case, there is no interest there and apparently they were set to fight on PPV, which would have been self-promoted because I don't think HBO or Showtime was going to pick up that fight. Who would pay for it anyway.
And, Allen Iverson is set to join his former and 1st love in the Philadelphia 76ers. What?? I mean, I understand the Sixers are in a new state of mind since they let Iverson go initially. But to come back to it after all that says a lot. They haven't lived up to whatever plans they had 3 or 4 years ago and it seems that Iverson's services are needed in the city of brotherly love. It would only be a one year contract but I guess they could at least use him for that time. After that we will see what other teams interests MIGHT be and if he would ever concede to playing a role for a team that may need him in more of a limited duty than he's used to. I have my own reservations on Allen Iverson and have certainly been disappointed by his recent antics and comments. A player at the stage he is in now should be willing to accept a role at least to try and win a championship if nothing else. It may be hard for him knowing that he is still probably better than a nice percentage of guards in the league, but IS HE STILL. We may need to find out if he is truly diminished and if his health can hold him up for a full season anymore. No question about his talent, his heart, his courage, and all the necessities for him to be considered one of the greatest guards of all-time (i'll reserve comment on that one). But, there have been so many players, in so many different arenas, who have accepted and sacrificed for the sake of winning a ring. If this is Allen Iverson's last stand, he needs to grow up as a player and see everything in its proper perspective. Even if Iverson isn't fully diminished, I think it has been proven that no team will win with him as the focal point. Not the Iverson that wants to win scoring titles every year, doesn't trust his teammates, won't pass the ball in a big spot, and has to hoist up 30 shots every game. That Iverson will not LEAD a team to a title. Not anymore.

Sweet November!
As November closes, we put behind our month. Ours meaning me, my sister, and my mom. We all see our ages increase during the month of November. We were able to celebrate another of God's blessings in more time on this earth. As corny as that might sound. LOL.
We had a blast too. What can you say. The Yankees are world champs, Thanksgiving was awesome, I got banana pudding for my birthday, and my sister is still a dork! What else can you ask for. I only do hope that my mother could enjoy another year just as much as her children did. She is always looking out for us and making sure we have everything she can give us, still. It's not just cliche that children are children no matter how old we get. And when we're facing obstacles, she turns up the volume just a little bit. But enough for us to feel her love. The same love that was passed down to her by her mother. So thanks mom, for yet another Sweet November!!
See yall next time on WKMC Radio!! (LOL, yall know I'm silly)

Thanksgiving 2009!
I always have so much to be thankful for, and as cliche as that may sound it is so true. I heard somebody say on the radio that everyday is Thanksgiving, so she is thankful everyday. I do echo those sentiments. Because, although Thanksgiving comes around once a year, we shouldn't reserve exclusive gratitude to just that day alone. God is here everyday of our lives, through the good and the bad.
I have my family, my sister and my mother, through rough times, trials & tribulations. What I would have done without them is beyond me. But my mom continues to take care of me the same as she did when we were little. My sister has grown to be a beautiful woman, who has matured and learned what a selfless, caring person can display when they are able to face their fears and stampede right through them. With God's grace, he can pull us all through those kinds of progressions. My cousin/godsister/(i'll reserve any further comments) Cyria is a fun-loving sweetheart and we did have so much fun with her. I wish the girl would show herself more because she is truly a joy to be around. Cy, you are loved and I do wish I can get to know the woman better. My aunt, who has been through so, so much these past 2 years. When faced with obstacles, the family has pulled together and seen her through. She is a testament of a true warrior and giving up is not an option in our family. So, she is being seen through and climbing the mountains and God has certainly been good to her. My uncle, who does NOT get enough credit in the family but is the TRUE EXAMPLE of what a husband should be. They have stood the test of time in their marriage and have been role models for me for what I would like to become in my family. I do not care about when people are not understood, when they are doing the right things credit is due. And I certainly do appreciate them giving me something to look forward to and to strive towards. I love my Teaneck family, including my cousins Khadijah and Gigi, who anybody would be proud of knowing their story and their successes.
To all of my people, from my dad, who is my best friend, to Max, Resheemah, Hass, Michelle, and everybody who I have ever came across and love, and to those who are missing this year, much Thanksgiving to all of you. I have a lot of love in my heart, which some people may not realize, and you are all part of it.
Come, share my story!!

On my birthday!
On my birthday I was spontaneous which is a rarity for me. I drove 200+ miles, and spend time with a friend. No worries, no cares, just living free. And using the breath that God gave me. I appreciated that so much.
On my birthday I could have gotten lost. But I did not panic or get flustered. I turned right around and got on my way.
On my birthday I rested. I had peace and did nothing I was obligated to.
On my birthday my family made me feel special. My cousin never forgets. My father is my best friend. My sister is a special kind. Mom mom still babies me. Even with the turn of the decade that will NOT change, EVER!!
On my birthday I got a new 'toy' (it's an MP3 player, don't think anything fresh). I am a gadget freak so it was like a mini-Christmas for me.
On my birthday an ingredient was missing. One that I had become accustomed to for a while now. But God moves things around to accommodate His order. I have no control, and do not want it anymore.
When the clock struck 12, I cried. To culminate the trying year it's been. To flow the tears for what God has been. And to say thank you to all those who are in my corner. From November 21, 1979, when my dear mother sacrificed all that she had for me (and later for my sister). For all that everybody that has passed through my life has been. For all the friends and family i've lost along the way. And for the people who are not far and always in my heart. I love you all.

Early NBA analysis
I was going over the NBA standings and I would say that the east and west are pretty equal right now. With the depreciation of New Orleans, San Antonio's old and banged up, Utah is underachieving (compared to what they've been the last few years), and outside of the Lakers, the field is wide open. Denver will probably finish 2nd again because those guys have that talent and Melo's on a mission this year. Phoenix will offense their way to the playoffs 1st and MAYBE 2nd round, and Dallas will be the normal regular season team they've always been. But the top teams out east can beat those guys out west (Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, and don't underestimate Atlanta).
Speaking of New Orleans, I think the firing of Byron Scott is a complete travesty. He's gotten the shaft for the 2nd time in his career unjustly. The first time was the year after he took the Nets to the NBA Finals twice. Now, after turning around a New Orleans franchise that was in the sewer before he arrived, he gets fired for New Orleans lack of keeping key players and players underperforming, along with injuries. Is it Byron Scott. I say no, again!! And hopefully he will land somewhere sometime soon because he has proven to be a formidable coach and is well-deservant of any top knotch opportunity that presents itself.
Will the Nets win a game this season?? Ha ha. They better try to get this next one against the Knicks. They go on a west coast trip that includes the likes of Denver, Portland and the Lakers. The only game that MAY BE winnable is sandwiches in between in Sacramento. What a birthday present (November 21st). The Nets and Knicks square off against each other in the lame "let's see who can finish last" 82-game tournament. Good luck!!
2 MORE DAYS!!
