"The Menace IS Society"
Hello my STARZ, life is good isn’t it?? If you don’t see it that way, we need to figure out why. Life’s a game of crests and troughs; you just need to learn how to surf! Ok, enough Zen for today!

Happy 2011 my people! It has been told to me that a biblical meaning for the number eleven is extra measure. Let’s make sure whatever extra blessings we occur this year are given back to others as an extra measure from you!

My people, what’s happening? I trust everyone had a spectacular Holiday and I’m sure many of you are still enjoying much deserved vacation time. Thank you to all of you that called, wrote, or even thought happy birthday to me. Next is Angel’s on New Year’s Eve. Then we are done with our Holiday Hanukah as I like to call it. Anyway, during this time off I want you to also enjoy my last post of the year. Though it was not planned this way, I… Continue

I am from the Philippines. I am a basketball coach and innovator.
How do you like it overseas? I am looking into maybe doing an internship overseas but don't know how much I would like it. I'm sure it would be a great experience though.
Where are you at now and what are you doing these days? I'd love to hear from you to see how you are.
