Christmas this year was quite interesting as well. I didn’t help a stranger, but I had to go help a cousin in need.

We should always be grateful for what we have, however much or little we have. Thank you for reminding us of that.

Sucking your own dick is not something that works with women. Trust me, I’ve tried.

I have been lucky to travel all over the world and i’ve seen and met people living very hard lives. What astonishes me most is the bitter truth that the richest nation on the planet has homeless people. What happened to the old adage ” I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper”?

The last best hope on earth shouldn’t have people living on the streets

I see that you are in the christmas spirit.
I would loved to be at your house today and enjoyed the holiday spirit!!

Merry Christmas to you, to those two and to all!

I love the city for a number of reasons. A cruise ship I played on docked in N.O. a few years ago and it was my first taste of Cajun culture. I met a close friend here who is from Metarie.

I simply love New Orleans piano. Dr. John, Professor Longhair, and my absolute favorite: James Booker. If you want to hear genius tales of the highest of highs, the lowest of lows and everything in between, have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5Wv-HYKat4

Finally, if your a sports guy, the Saints are hard not to like.

I frequently volunteer (David surely you’ve touched on this? volunteering is a great way to help others, feel good about yourself… oh yeah-and meet women too!)

by playing music in various hospitals/care centers around my city. After playing tonight, a Native-Canadian man came to talk with me about his appreciation for my music. He was clean cut and reasonably well dressed, yet struck me as a loner. He took a liking to my music and I must have talked with him for about 45 minutes after I entertained. I learned his mother had been hospitalized for over a year and he was visiting from Northern Saskatchewan (6 hour bus ride) I didnt ask why, but it seemed as though he didn’t plan ahead to find accomodations. I was a little bit shocked to learn he’d been spending nights in the hospital lobby. Anyways, my point is that I didn’t need to talk to him, but did so because I knew he wanted to talk to someone. Sometimes even this can go a long way in making someone feel better. After all, we’ve all been there.

To finish my story: this man struck me as someone who was lonely, yet lacked the initiative to do anything. He kept asking me questions about my city, about what to do, where to go, etc. I told him how to do these things but that it was up to him to do them. We can all genuinely be of help if we deisre.

What is most impressive to me is those who are humble in their generosity. A good message for those less fortunate (RK)

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

I will tell my parents of your idea in the morning, to give things we don’t need that others might want to those in more dire circumstances than most. The sad thing is these particular people aren’t hard to find, around here at least.

Again, thanks for your story, I’m sure Tom and James do. Keep up the good work and together we can save the world for those who inhabit it. Peace, and happy holidays.

I think this video captures your message. Not me but just a regular dude looking out for those in need.

The coolest black guy ever!
