They say when you play with skills,
good luck will happen. - Jay-Z (“Guns & Roses”)
Recession be damned. My friends are making big moves and are as busy as they want to be. It feels good to be surrounded by (well-deserved) successful people.

Seems like street lights glowing
Happen to be just like moments passing in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I’m just not there
- Kanye West (“Street Lights”)

No matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I’ve tried.

It’s taking quite a bit of willpower to not turn this site into Sarah Kay’s Daily Quotable blog. Watch her on Def Poetry (at age 18).

I have two quick stories.
Roy Brown, a 54-year-old homeless man robbed a bank in Louisiana. The teller handed him three stacks of cash, but he took a single $100 bill, saying he was homeless and hungry. Feeling remorseful, he voluntarily surrendered to the police the next day, saying his mother didn’t raise him that way. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Christian Milton of Pennsylvania, an AIG executive was convicted of conspiracy, securities fraud, mail fraud and making false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission in a $500,000,000+ fraud case. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison and fined $200,000. His lawyers are preparing an appeal.

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen
Beans don’t burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tryin’
Just to get up that hill
Now we’re up in the big leagues
Gettin’ our turn at bat
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby
There ain’t nothin wrong with thatWell we’re movin on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin on up
To the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
-From ‘The Jeffersons’ theme song
I’ve refined the look of this site, once again. The style is very similar to what it was before, but most of the design elements have been retouched or redone. The previous version of been said was produced two years ago (read), on my 13” MacBook. This latest version was done on my Mac Pro, with dual 30” monitors. Moving on up!
