I need to start off every single journal with GOD is GOOD.  Cause HE truly is.  I mean, amazing.  I wish I just had an eternal memory card in my brain to remind me for those days (which are far too many) when I forget.  If I could just sit back and think...man...I would never complain.  HE has been so good to me.

Anyhoo, I am excited for several reasons.  I am not sure what the exact order of my hypeness is...so let's just call this a random order.  First of all, SPOKEN FUNK was off the chain last night.  This is like the third or fourth night that it has been bangin' in a row.  So, you know what that means?  You what they say when your poetry and comedy night is off the hook four straight times???  Okay, I am not sure what the hec they say, but I know what I say.  HALLELUYAH.  Thank you, Jesus.  Shoooot, that is what I say...thank you you, LORD. 

GOD is so good, and I know that some of you all are gonna get tired of me saying that...matter of fact, I am having a conversation with someone right now on MYSPACE about the validity of GOD.  It is so funny, GOD doesn't want you to prove that HE is real to other folks.  That person has to have faith and if he chooses NOT to believe, there is nothing that I can say to change him of that thinking.  No matter what I have said so far...he has had an intelligent answer that in his mind justifies his point.  The good thing about him is, though, he is a real super cool brother.  He hasn't gotten upset or started any rampages or anything.  He is has been polite and cordial and super cool.  We are having a faith and intelligent conversation.  My part is geared more toward faith, cause I ain't too intelligent.  I am smart enough to know when I feel GOD in my life then when I don't, I know that much.  But anything beyond that is questionable in my intelligence department.

What was I talking about, before I went off the track...oh yea...how good GOD is.  So, HE has put some special people to help us out at Spoken Funk that really make a difference.  And I pray that HE blows Spoken Funk up so much that we are able to pay these people, cause they are really doing us a solid every week.  I have grown to depend on them.  Thank you, Jesus.

Okay, second reason, I am excited.  I have a call-back.  I haven't I had a call back since 1912.  It had been looking rough for me for a minute there.  I started to question my ability.  And the thing is, I know have the skillz to pay the billz, but sometimes, this industry will have you thinking that you ain't worth a pile of doo-doo.   So, this call-back re-established my goal and I know that I need to work, work and do some more work to really succeed in this business.  I can't rely on my good looks alone.  Cause I do have good looks. 

That is what we learned in church, by the way.  No, not that I have good looks...I am sure everyone in the building can take one look and see that...no, we learned that we need to put in work.  Sometimes, we think...okay, I won't say we...I will say I...yea, sometimes, I think that just because I prayed for it...BAM...it should automatically come to fruition.  No, a lot of times, I have to work.  GOD hears the prayer, but I still have to work to make it happen.  I can't make it happen without the prayer, but I still have to work.  And that goes with everything, my career, my finances, my relationships, Spoken Funk, everything.  I can't be lazy.  I have to work.  I can't rely on my good looks alone.

And lastly, the reason why I am so excited this morning is because (yes, back to SPOKEN FUNK) next week is going to be our big FO' SINGLE my NINGLE show at Spoken Funk.  We are calling all the singles of the world.  Actually we are calling everyone.  This night is a night for all to meet a husband, a wife, a friend, a kick it buddy...whatever.  So, it is not just for singles, it is for anyone that wants to meet friends.  Every year this event is packed, so I am looking forward to this one.  We have Georgia ME from Def Poetry Jam flying in from Atlanta, Rodney Perry from Who's GOT Jokes, Esau McGRaW from the planet funny and a surprise guess poet from America's Top Model.  OMG!  It is going to be a great show.  I am tooooo excited.  Sunday can't come quick enough.

Oops, yes, it can, cause first I have to book this call-back.  Say a prayer. 

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Keep it Natural.
