It's Been a While

It's been a while since I've posted. There has been several "positive" changes in me and my surroundings, I'd like to think. My mindset has altered a little and even my body is changing. I think it's for the better so I'm hoping to keep it up for a while.

Side note though, I've come to really appreciate Southern California weather. It is still winter, and yet we have no problems going to the beach with a t-shirt or play tennis in the evenings. There's some good in living in this city of angels.

Below is a slideshow of the Lakers vs Grizzlies game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles:

If I Ain't Got You

Certain human beings continue to amaze me every day. Alicia Keys is one of them. As a performer, she is so infectious that she sucks you into her presence. As a singer, her voice completely comes out of her inner soul and allows you to be right there feeling it. As a musician, she plays the piano as if it's just an extension of her body. As a woman, she speaks volumes with every single audience member relating to her. And as a human being, she posses such an impossible confidence that you can't imagine what it must be like to be in her place.

What am I trying to say? I know I can be at some level of this type of existence soon if I push hard enough.
