This is a moment of respect and love for the loved ones who are no longer here and the people who removed their presences from my life for their many reasons. A piece of me mourns lost friendship in much the same way that I face the passing of family and friends-- but this is no sad minute. People leave when they need to leave for all their varied and needful reasons. God bless us, one and all. Face life with strength; be courageous in living your dreams. Be.

hmmm... which reminds me I need to do some spring cleaning
every time...every single time i hear those horns, i am INSTANTLY transported back years. this song is nothing else but CLASSIC. given the recent deaths of those around me, it's crazy to come to your blog after so long to see this.
the timing of God is amazing.
hmmm, now u got me reminiscing over them! wonder where those cats are. LOL!
u know the thing about loss - i realize it's needed in order to embrace the new cuz we can't keep it ALL. u ever known a true pack rat? now, those are scary homes to walk into when they never get rid of ANYthing;-)...
pajnstl: UH OH--I hope your "ejection list" is short! LOL! I don't want to hear news of some hurt soul getting smacked around because he/she couldn't take the weight!

Prisoner's Wife: "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" was a "gospel" song of sorts for me. It dropped the year after my father died (or killed himself, if you accept my personal view of his death)and during the period when some of my "family" showed their horns and pitchforks as the devils they were. Death reveals the worst within the worst, I say.
Over the years, this song and Noreaga's "Sometimes" became my sip-some-sweet-tea-and-release-the-anger music. I still listen to both songs when I think about my father--and I forgave him for his selfishness. Good to hear from you again, lady.

CapCity: Both Pete Rock and CL Smooth are still doing great music--separately. They didn't "break up," really; they still remain good friends and work on projects together even now. Pete released (or is tabbed to release) a new "Soul Survivor" project, and CL Smooth dropped one of the coldest lyrical records of 2007. Google "CL Smooth--American Me." You'll love it!
ain't seentchu @ my spot in a minute...u just lurkin' or what, Bruh? LOL! yea, i'll certainly google cl smoove;-)
See, this is when Hip Hop was real.
Takes me back.
