Hello Baby

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Life and happiness have been completely redefined for me. Everything that I thought I knew about being content, being in love, and being responsible are all out of the window.

Black Marriage Day is coming in March, and there are a lot of interesting and educational components to this organization promoting marriage and unity in the black community.

Steal Away

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

One of the reasons why I began writing this blog was to leave behind a legacy of love for my wife. That when I’m gone, that she and our future children will look back upon this collection of thoughts and ideology as a living love letter to the woman that changed my life for the [...]
