As I move forward, I can feel time flow by faster and faster… moving me towards a new adventure. I am not sure what the adventure has in store for me, but as it moves closer, and this rendezvous becomes more certain, I know that great things lie ahead… and I am more than ready to embrace what ever is coming.
I’ve lived most of my life in the Jackson, Mississippi Metro area. Jackson is the largest city in the state of Mississippi, but it is by no means a large city. Memphis is the first large city you come to if you drive north three hours on I-55 (Same distance south lands you in New Orleans.) I had been through Memphis several times in the past, but never enough to really stop and see the sights. I liked what I saw, that is until me and my friends got stuck in a not-so-nice part of town. We went to the Zoo, The famous Peabody Hotel, and the Rendezvous for their famous BBQ. It was an amazing trip, and I really hope to go and spend more time there.
Flamingos and Ducks… Living together in Harmony… Like Ebony and Ivory, well Perhaps Cheap Lipstick and Cheap Aftershave. Wow… An Epiphany!!!!
Sometimes things happen that you can not control, and the next thing you know you have retreated so far within that nothing seems real. The people you once valued stare at you and you no longer feel like you belong, anywhere. It seems like its impossible, but you know that deep down you will eventually walk through your own gate back into the world that is waiting… But until then… who knows what lurks within. 
Elephants are very interesting animals to me. They prove that Humans are not the only creatures capable of emotion, especially in a time where people once claimed that Humans were the only species capable of emotion. They are very intelligent creatures, and never fail to capture my imagination with their size, and overall disposition. They are a wonderful species and we need to do everything we can to save them from possible extinction.
As many of you can tell from my recent posts from the Memphis Zoo, last Wednesday I went with three of my best friends to see this magical place for the first time. When we arrived at the zoo’s front gate into Egypt, I knew then that this was an unusual place.
Butterflies fascinate me on many levels, and its mostly the ugly duckling appeal that they bring to the world. They start out these little worms that do nothing but crawl around and eat, and hope not to get eaten… and when they are ready they retreat into their own little world, and come out this beautiful majestic creature. This fact should make them an inspiration, nothing is permanent all things change… it is up to us to make that change positive.
Perhaps as a species, we need to stop and take heed to the words and wisdom of our grandfathers and grandmothers. The world is really taking a strain, and we can not just sit back and hope it is just a natural cycle, perhaps some of it is… but we are a significant threat to this pale blue dot we call home, we need to cherish it… that is before it gets all M. Night Shyamalan on us.
