My wife and I loved this.  After all of the he said/she said backbiting and name calling, Barack said that sometimes you just have to brush it off.  If he can brush it off, I can to.  Check him out in this video and watch him brush it off at around 1:20.  It’s worth the [...]

My Wife the Rapper

April 17, 2008

My wife, a first grade teacher in Stone Mountain, used to be in a rap group when she was in high school.  To most people that know her today, this is hilarious.  What is doubly funny, is that before we ever met, I was a hip hop DJ and even did concert promotions for some [...]

Interview this Morning with L.E.A.D. Atlanta

April 17, 2008

For the past 10-12 years, I have been used to people looking to me as a leader in various capacities.  When you serve as a primary leader for so long, you run the risk of not continuing to improve and grow yourself in ways that helped to position you in leadership in the first place.  [...]

April 16, 2008

A few weeks ago I blogged some about some radical shifts I am going to be making soon regarding my physical health.  I have had three major spinal surgeries stemming from a brutal assault that I endured when I was 15.  Some level of back and leg pain has been consistent for the past few [...]

Barack Obama Called “Boy”…by a US Congressman

April 15, 2008

I am absolutely IRATE about this story.  I am pissed.  When I first heard that Barack Obama, the best-selling author/Harvard Law grad/University of Chicago Constitutional Law Professor/US Senator/Record-Breaking Presidential Candidate was called "boy" in a statement by Congressman Geoff Davis, I became so angry that I nearly cried. Speaking on what he called a "highly [...]

April 14, 2008

On vacation last week in Myrtle Beach, we went to Broadway at the Beach to have some fun.  Out of the blue as we are walking through the complex, my wife gets the bright idea that she wants to climb an outdoor rock wall.  Heck, I thought it was a cool idea, but I must [...]

First Ice Cream Cone (Myrtle Beach – Part 1)

April 13, 2008

Last week the King Team went on a much-needed vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  To its own recognition, the city is pretty redneck, but I live in Georgia, am from rural Kentucky, with family that lives in Appalachia, so that’s right up my alley (sort of).  For real though, this is the third year [...]

Pray for Ezekiel

April 12, 2008

It is about 2:30am and Rai has just left to take Ezekiel to the hospital.  He bumped his head earlier in the evening and has been up all night – which is not like him. I am believing that it’s not a problem and that he is just exhausted and has his days and nights [...]

Met Bill Nunn & Anthony Mason

April 11, 2008

My entire family (Me, Wifey, Three Kids) roll together a lot.  Because Rai and I both work hard, we spend time together whenever we can.  We grocery shop together, run errands together, go to the doctor with the kids together, eat out as a family together, etc.  It works for us.  I figure if we [...]

New Record! Oil Prices Above $112. (F is for Fudge)

April 9, 2008

The price of oil is now at its all-time high.  This is hardly newsworthy because it seems as if it hits a new all-time high several times a week and even several times a day.  It usually takes a few weeks for the price of oil to hit us up at the pump.  Here is [...]

Michael Monsoor – A Truly Courageous Man

April 9, 2008

When I got online today and saw a picture of a teary-eyed President Bush on the Drudge Report, I was curious as to what had him so shaken up.  President Bush awarded, posthumously, the Medal of Honor to Michael A. Monsoor – a brave 25 year old Navy Seal who chose to throw himself on [...]
