Death
This recent spree of celebrity deaths (MJ, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Steve McNair) has really got me thinking about how fragile life is. I think about what I have done with my life to this point and how many, if any, lives I have touched with my time here. I wonder what people would say about me if I were to not wake up one day (knock on wood). I cannot without a doubt say that most people would have great things to say and that troubles me. I have always felt there is something really great I am supposed to do on this Earth before I go, but I pray I figure that out before it is too late. I pray that everyone I call a friend would call me the same, and that I become better at truly showing gratitude to those who saw the potential for greatness within me and helped me without asking for reciprocation. I pray one day that potential that those people have recognized becomes realized. I pray to one day become a blessing to this world and not someone who merely "exists". Amen.

Greatest....Salesman.....EVER
This is for my fellow night owls. If you've spent any time looking at a television after midnight, you have definitely come into contact with Mr. Billy Mays, or as I have dubbed him, The Greatest Salesman Ever.
America first came into contact with the GSE when the product OxiClean hit the market. At the time, the mid 90's, I wasn't much of a clothes washer. But when I heard this man yell at me about OxiClean, I asked my mother why we didn't have any. Every time I see his commercials, I'm thankful my wallet isn't around. For some reason, I get sucked into his high-volume energy and lumberjack facial hair, and I want to buy whatever he's selling. It's absolutely insane to me. How can this 50 yr old white guy, hypnotize me, a 25 yr old black male, into buying whatever he's selling? It's a miracle in race relations people, that's what it is.
You think 50 Cent did wonders for Vitamin Water? Could you even imagine the luxury water global monopoly that would occur if Billy Mays sold "Formula Mays"? I tell you, this guy needs to be teaching Sales courses at Harvard. They should be He's the absolute real deal.
Just my opinion....
PS - For those haters who think I'm the only one who's buying what he's selling, his $1.8 million house says otherwise. BOOTCH.
