A Word From Our Sponsors

Now it is not a secret that I'm a smart ass, or that I pretty much have an answer to just about anything said within hearing distance. And fine, I know most have already come to pass judgment on me. Which I don't really have too much of a problem with. I may come off as arrogant or pigheaded, which I probably am, but let me assure you it's not in the degree that I let on. But there is a side of me I hope I can share with you and be able to express myself about freely. (Not because I feel like I'll be persecuted for it, but because I don't feel like anyone can relate.) I do have an intellectual side, and I love hearing other's opinions and ideas, because they will either strengthen or alter my resolve. [[Yes, I am rambling.]] In the end, all I'm saying is don't close yourself off to the world around you, past or present. You must be ever vigilant and stand squarely on your views. Don't be afraid to think, great moments do not come to people who are unwilling to break the barriers of the box and explore the world around them. "Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless." Do not just sit inanimately as the world passes you by. Every one of us has a calling, everyone of us has a responsibility that we must learn to take up, whether we know it now or not, we should all embrace the fact that all of us are here for a purpose. The journey of life is to seek out that purpose and watch it be fulfilled. "Start by doing what is necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible." Believe in what compels you. Embrace what moves you, and makes you an individual. And Protect what means most to you.

Now with all of that said, I'm going to introduce another Def Poetry Jam poem. Probably the best one I can ever show you. I've had to listen to this so many times before I fully understood it. The poet is Saul Williams, and he should be the poet laureate of America. If you have no idea what that is, find out.

So here it is, my ace in hand....
