Black History Month: New Friends and Old Haters

Dear Friends,



Recently I had to delete some people off my facebook because either I stop talking to them or was being used to help play a game. After I delete those people, I though about the people I do talk to. I realized that my longest friend is someone I have known for over ten years. Another person I am friend’s with use to have a bad drug problem. Another friend was a former prostitute and stripper. I know I am not perfect but my friends are a colorful at times. Most have more shit in their closet than I do.

I said a long time ago that I wanted people in my life that were not like me but can relate to me. I have those people in my life. I also wanted to experience new things and I did with these people. I mean I came out of a shy shell and also became more talkative and active. A lot of my earlier writings and blogs show that my life was full of excitement and suspense. I also became enlightened in what life is to me. So do I regret these people in my life? No because these people made me never feel uncomfortable or even awkward. I have been in the company of thugs, drug dealers, crack addicts, drunks and whores but never did I feel like my life was threatened. I remind people that I lived in Detroit and seen more shit than anyone could imagine.

The sins these people might have does not change what I see in them. Some of these people I consider family. These are brothers and sisters that I have by fate. God does tend to bring people together because of life choices and also life itself. I am not complaining about these people but to those who wanted to be my friend to gain points for a game or because they know someone I know, you know what happens to you if you do that.
