  Thank you for the comment about my shelf. I try to read at least three books a year. Even if its a small book of poetry but I never read something just to read it. Everything I read must impact me positively in some way shape or form even if its humor.

  Shanghai Baby is the shit! You will love it! It has a lot of erotic chapters in it. Also I love foreign films, especially Japanese ones. I guess it's because I speak Japanese that's why. I do not plan on putting any of my books online but I do want to have my poetry published.

  I had a live-in lover whom I loved dearly that was my baby’s mama . She died in a car accident and I was left with full custody of my baby girl, Isabella Imani Devereux. Her parents asked me to move to Milwaukee so that they could help me raise my child. I did thinking they were on the up and up because I could use the help being a single father. Her parents had BANK, we talking multi millionaires. I was still going through depression at the lost of her so they were a HUGE help. Her father got me a job at one of his companies and we moved into their house. After about 3 months the job laid me off at the end of the work day. I went to the house to find EVERYONE and everything gone. That was back in 1994. I talked with my baby’s mama brother who claims they are all living overseas and my daughter asks about me all the time. They told her I just brought her to their house and left her saying I was not ready to raise a child on my own. But, he says she is as smart as a whip and her gut tells her they are not being truthful with her. He says she remember the rainbow song I use to sing to her and that what makes her want to know more about me. They know he is still in contact with me so they don’t allow him much time with her and he is never alone with her. But, as long as she is growing up safe and secure I am happy. I just want her to be happy.

  Yea, the news is so depressing to me. You know I have learned in life that you gotta take care of yourself first. If you are happy, happiness follows you wherever you go. If you are loving, Love follows you wherever you go. Its just a natural law of the universe.

  Yea, I do it all the time. I sometime will read 3 to 4 books at any given time. I have a few favorite TV shows like person unknown and the boondocks. I HATE the news. You could not pay me to watch it. So, the majority of my time is spent reading, cooking and writing. Growing up with a learing disability, I was always looking for ways to better improve myself therefore, reading became a passion of mine. I have been hooked ever since.
  
  If you want to write that book do it. Don't wait. Just pull out a legal pad and start writing do worry about spelling, grammar, etc.... Just let it flow. The put it down for a week. Go back and look at it and then start your corrections. Before you know it, the book will be complete and you will be a published author.
  
  Be blessed

  Definitely sounds interesting. I remember a movie back in the 1960s with James Whitmore and Roscoe Lee Brown where by Whitmore's character, a white newspaper reporter, went undercover as a black man (he darkened himself) to cover the racial situation in the South.

  The Universal One by Walter Russell, it is PROFOUND. Walter Russell throws a TIMELESS call to any who longs for true knowledge. This IS THE Universal Cosmology. Included in this unique perspective includes it all from electricity and magnetism to dimensional theory. This book is awesome for any reader who is interested in seeking hidden knowledge of how science,particles, spirituality and mystery come together.

  Gar Fish is a pre-historic fish that lives in the shallows of the Mississippi Rive, It has a very dense meat and is really some very good eating. My grandmother would cook this dish for me whenever she wanted to have a "sit down" chat with me. You can read inside my book at the following link: http://www.amazon.com/Gar-Fish-Long-Gravy-Sensibility/dp/1598006754/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279030467&sr=8-1

  Ha! The heat is dry here only on a very good day. Normally, it's hot and humid, which I can't stand! I've been to the desert once, and I know what you mean by dry heat. It's actually pretty tolerable. But nonetheless, I think you'll love living in NC. Raleigh is more business & industry oriented while Charlotte is more entertaining and has 3xs more than what Raleigh has. If I could find a comparable job there and didn't have to worry about selling our house, I would actually move to Charlotte.

  Sorry that it took so long for me to respond. I have been crazy busy lately.
  
  I recently finished reading "A Writer's Love Story" by Robert Wacaster and thought that it was pretty good. It could use the eye of a copy-editor, but other than that, the story was told very well.
  
  I love living in Raleigh! I sometimes wish it had more action (like Charlotte), but I do love the ease and business structure of the city.
