If you could somehow look into the future, and know the day you were going to die, what would you do differently?

Would you make the most of every day? Would you be a better person? Would you pursue every dream if you had the time?

What’s all the fuss over China and their mucking around in Africa? They are only doing what the big thieves have always done…digging, stealing, and killing in the Motherland.

They were allowed to join in…It’s a club!

The Christian Bible states, “Satan comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy.”

However, we support the Olympians and their hardwork.

Nuff said.

Godspeed Mr. Isaac Hayes and Mr. Bernie Mac…Godspeed
