I found some cool tags of MLK on myspace http://juppindesignz.com/Home.htm and click on holiday tags and then MLK. Enjoy XOCO
when i was 9 i wanted to be daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard, but had to put aside the dream when i realised my legs weren't going to ever get any longer.. when i was 12 i wanted to be ghandi, but realised wars wouldnt stop because i missed breakfast.. when i was 16 i decided that by leaving the borg and living fast and hard enough being alice cooper was achievable.. now i'm 32 i think i'd quite like to have the sensuous, striking confidence and certainty of helen mirren when i grow up.. who did you want to be and why?.

Mr. William James Edwards walked!!! from Tuskegee Institute in 1893 to found the Snow Hill Institute in order to educate the many Black children of Wilcox County who were not able to attend school because of not having the money for tuition at the only school for Blacks in the county.
My mother and father only reached the 3rd and 5th grade respectively because their families couldn't afford the tuition. Were we told about Mr. Edwards and his accomplishments in our little two-room school? You got it.
Wow i can believe that ur parents have complete elementary edu b/c ur grandparents couldn't afford 2 pay 4 skoolin'. i think that Blacks/Africans-Americans in the borg don't see this as a set back to us the b/c they indoctrinate their kids 2 put jah 1st and the rest will come but 2 also do full-time pioneering. So are the black dubs are going to get ahead and have a piece of the pie. and i know this 1st hand b/c my parents are from a 3rd world county and when they came here (US) my father had in mind 4 me and my sis to persue higher edu he did not want me to wk in a crap job like him and my mom. b/c also in their home county the edu is good but not everyone can afford it (3rd world country)... especially now a days the employers are aking canidates that have more than a H.S. diploma (more meat on the bones i guess)

So sad that it takes a murder for someone's cause to receive the attention it deserves.

tomorrow is my first day at my new job.
i'm looking forward to it but i'm a little nervous as well.
other than my own computers and a couple of friend's computers, i haven't done a whole lot of this kind of work since 2004. of course before that, i did it exclusively for eleven years.
May the FORCE be with you my friend
