We are now living a time of great change. A time when what was can no longer be. A time when the strength that has been implanted in our hearts, by the work of our ancestors must ring free. A time when the thoughts of fear must be crushed by the thoughts of possibilities that now have no choice but to become reality. It is crucial to our existence as people of dignity and justice to work towards the forgotten dreams of our youth. Dreams that we once held dearly and have been blurred by time. We cannot put all of our faith in one man and walk down the road of success. We must put much of that faith in ourselves and each other.
Believe that we as a people can be what needs to be. That we can uplift ourselves to hire plateaus than the ones dreamt of by those before us and by ourselves. That we can lend not one but both hands. So that one can heal wounds with one as the other guides our brothers and sisters to safety. All while our feet remain firm in our pursuit of greatness.
We now more then ever in the history of human existence must remain united. United so that we can fulfill the inevitable good that has been destined from the moment love came to be. United because the annals of history have clearly stated that separation goes hand and hand with failure. Believe no longer that the sole care of self leads to greatness. For it is the love of self, while embracing the necessity of unity and diversity that makes a man or woman great.
Do not forget the greatness that lies within us all. And be sure to imagine and make true what can be if our souls, love and existence pursue what our minds have for too long merely thought of and feared.
For all that know me and for those that do not… I embrace you with these words.
Peace, Paz, Salaam,
Latin
May God Bless us all.
P.S. Big Up To President Barack H. Obama. You have accomplished a dream of many. Those dreams now lay in both yours and our hands. Lead us well.

Grad School Aqui Voy
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Madame speaker of the Hood, Dude that spits reality and all the children of the world...it's official. I have commenced the process of applying to Grad School. I know this because $50 have been deducted from my account. And let me tell you. If I pay $50 for something, I'm going all the way with it. Oh yeah, I will get three letters of recommendation from professors that can and will vouch for my ability to be in Grad School. I will get the money to have transcripts sent over to the SUNY New Paltz Grad school. Oh yes...I will write an essay stating how the experience will further my career. Don't think I won't slap a stamp on a folder and send that mother lover away. Just watch me with my bad self as I get into Grad School. Graduate with a degree in Humanistic Multi-cultural Education and begin Humanistically Educating Multi-Cultural populations.
In other news, another 13 weeks have been approved for the "Nex 2 Be Read Club KHS Chapter". Which means that I shall be meeting with my students (That's right...I have students) and passing on to them what I know. Isn't that something. A group of young sponges yearning for someone to tell them "What it is" and I get the opportunity to do so. I also have a couple of workshops this month and the ReadNex shall be meeting to discuss the 09. What a lovely time this is to be a neuron in my brain. How joyous each neuron must be to be transferring fantastic loads of information via neurotransmitters through my synapses. Oh what a time it is my good friends. What a time it is...

Lost In Reality
Ever wake up and decide to prepare your high fiber breakfast. You get your "bootleg" Raisin Bran your organic "Mini-Wheats" pour in some organic granola with goji berries then add the organic banana chips along with some soy milk. Ya poor your glass of OJ get your Multi-Vitamin and papaya enzymes ready. You get your spoon ready to eat and then look out the window. Suddenly it hits you! It's 2009 and you have been searching for a job for a year. No? Must be just me...
Happy New Year everyone...lets just hope that 2008 doesn't decide to come back and that 2009 doesn't tick us off as much as 08 did.
Peace, Paz, Salaam,
Latin
