Track 18. (Open letter to...)

What's good my friends! (I know...why so chipper huh? ) Well.... I guess this is the part of my so called therapy that I make a breakthrough. trust me when I tell you, this is a breakthrough for your azz here. As I have gone on my journey of life ( Sooo friggin Hemmingway huh? ) I have lost touch with those that i've met along the way.

I never was good at keeping up with tha people, that have influenced me throughout my life. The people I knew from high school, as well as tha people i've encountered up until now, have been somehow lost along tha way. But that has changed this week. I talked to one old classmate of mine (via Facebook. I'm startin' to embrace this new fangled technology.) we chatted about the old times of course, as well as catchin' up on everybody else. I realized something as I chatted wit her.

I've been stooopid ( Don't spellcheck me mofos I know. I be educated. ) All this time the very thing I miss, has ALWAYS been here. NOTHIN' BEATS THA LOVE OF GREAT PEOPLE!!! The people I know from high school, all tha way to my ole neighborhood are tha people that love me, regardless of tha things I do.

I need to let everyone know that in order to become great, something greater influences you. ( Deep ish huh?.... Too much Cherry Juicy Juice. ) To me that something greater are my friends and family. Almost overnight, my Facebook page has blown up ( no sex doll ) The very people that have propelled me to have tha courage to put my life out here for all to see, are suddenly back in my life.

I make this promise to them as I type this open letter. I will keep in touch. I will be there when you call. I will listen to anything and everything you have to say. I want my friends back. People like this only come around once in a lifetime. For me I feel like I got a second chance.

Also to my teachers and mentors that are readin' this now. Thank you soooo much. You gave me tha tools to put a voice to my art (Man... I gotta lay off tha Juicy Juice )

For those just tuning in..... Go forth and find those played a positive influence in your life.... who knows it may lead to your second chance.


Now... let's ALL keep in touch! Follow a brother on Twitter (MAYHEMM09) also Facebook me ( No nastiness ) matt.lloyd3 I hate to sound like those e-mails you get but..... Pass this along ( tee hee ) I LOVE YOU ALL ONE LOVE.
