On September 11...
I'm sure I'm not the only one getting stupid e-mails about how the end of the world is coming ..... and how all of this was predicted by Nostradamus, .... Michael Jackson :) :) , or whoever else :) .... You guys remember Y2K?? .... People got so paranoid that they bought canned food, water, and even generators thinking that some kind of chaos was going to happen .... I'm sure there was some sort of literature or people predicting that the world would come to an end on that particular day ........... When nothing happened, those people probably thought an extension was filed up there in God's courts :) :) :) ..... and when they saw last tuesday's tragedy happen, they probably thought that it was time. You guys have no idea how many people are reading literature that confirms their idea of Apocalypse ....... The other day, I saw on TV that sales of books talking about the end of the world at Barnes & Noble and Amazon have increased dramatically in the last week ...... I think that's sick ..... but then again, now might be a good time to buy their stocks :) :) :) .... a good way to convert other people's stupidity into profit :) :) :)
The moral of the story is; Thousands have lost their lives in this horrible act. But our world will survive this, as it has survived so many tragedies in the past. Our world is more civilized than most of us think ..................... Tragedy is part of life ..... but so is recovery and hope. Let us remember those who died and the ones they left behind.

On Halloween...
Here comes Halloween again ........ You see, most people believe that Halloween is a day when we can turn into somebody/something else by wearing some stupid costume. I always ask myself one question though; When people go out and shop for costumes, how do they "decide" what to buy?? ..... The only logical answer I could come up with was, when we go to a store, the mask/costume that we pick up from the shelf is the one that describes who we really are ..... since costumes and masks are forms of self expression. Most of you are unaware or in denial of this decision making process because it is done at a subconscious level ..... :) :) :) If this statement is true, then what does it say about most of us??? ...... Fact: The best selling costumes are the ones that are the scariest/ugliest/horrible/inhumane/appalling/sadistic looking ........It shows that some of you have real monsters inside of you, waiting to be unleashed....... If it wasn't for law enforcement, I wonder what our world would've been like ...... :) :) :) :) :) ........
As for my personal favorite, it would be a yellow hat, matching yellow shirt, matching yellow snake skin shoes, cool shades, yellow fur coat (just in case it gets cold) ..... gold teeth .... gotta have the gold teeth :) :) :) ..... You like that smile don't you. I know you do :) :) :) ........ platinum chain on my neck (with a $ on it) ..... Ice on my wrist ..... BLING, BLING ....and 2 fine females on both sides of me. ...... Their names would be Chocolate and Lexus .... or Coco and Diamond .... whatever names they got, it don't really matter cause they're F.I.N.E and they're M.I.N.E :) :) :) :) :) :) ...... my name is MEK DADDY.......... and I'm the PIMP OF ALL PIMPS ... :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ......

On Thanksgiving...
How many of you really know the history of Thanksgiving??? ...... How/when/why it started .... Who started it .... when/why it was proclaimed a national Holiday etc .... To me, and to most of you I might add, Thanksgiving spells T.U.R.K.E.Y or L.O.N.G W.E.E.K.E.N.D :) :) :) ........
You see when it comes to giving thanks, I try to keep it simple .... I just thank God I made it from last Thanksgiving to this one alive and well ..... I happen to believe in God. And when you believe in a supreme being, all your Thank You's can be directed to him and your work is done .... If you don't believe in God though, man, don't you have a lot of people to thank or what!! ....Here are a few examples; For relieving your stress, you have to thank Philip Morris or Budweiser. For your sexual pleasures you have to thank Pfizer (the maker of Viagra for those who don't know), for relief from your depression or mood swings who else can you thank but the makers of Prozac ... or the corner drug dealer matter of fact :) :) :) :) ...... For the money you have, you should thank the guy who wrote your check ...................... ..or The Smith &Wesson company for making the gun you used to robb the corner grocery store :) :) :) ....... I think you get the point.
Moral of the story is, thank God for what you have ..... If you're reading this e-mail, you must be alive and healthy. Realize and recognize that that's the most precious thing that you have. ........... For those who believe in God, this statement makes sense .... For those who don't, I'm just trying to cut the number of people and things you have to thank .... All you have to say is "Thank You God" and that's it, your work done. .... I can make it even shorter for you : just say "Thanks G!" :) :) :) .....
