The friendship rule

Sometimes reconnecting with old friends is tricky. You can instantly remember why you distance yourself or you can't figure out why the separation ever happen. Many people say that some friends are just for a season, but I don't get that, and I really wish I could. If I call you friend that means I feel something special about you and will fight to keep you around. the only way I would let go is if you don't want me. If I call you brother, that means I have a deep respect and appreciation for you and plan on you being around forever. If I make a covenant with you, that's a bond into the after life and your enemies are my enemies. (Blood to Blood). To me,acquaintances come and go because they only serve a temporary purpose.

Happy Birthday, Kenny JUNE 11, 1965 to 1988

While looking for something to watch tonight.  I came across a movie called "Less than Zero".  It's about the San Fernando Valley in the 80's and the bond between friends.  I can remember the night this movie came out as if it was yesterday.  I was with Kenny, and his Mom sitting on the floor of her Sherman Oaks, CA.  Condo.  The room was very quiet while the movie was playing, and very little was said after that.  The movie was true to life, I just didn't know at the time that my best friend would have the same fate as the troubled main character.  The party scenes in the this movie were 100% accurate for the Valley in the 80's. I wonder how many young life were lost to drugs. 

Me and Kenny were like night and day,  I was an bi racial "Oreo" kid who loved Fleetwood and Donna Summers, Kenny was red headed soul brother, who loved his ROCK and ROLL, R&B, and the Motown sound.  I was more white then him, and he was more black then me.  I went to church on Sundays, and Kenny stay in bed to recover from Saturday.  Me and Kenny talked about everything, life's fears, and very deep personal stuff, we even fought like brother (everyday), but one of the most important things to me was Kenny was himself with me.  I watched him around his buddies, his father and how he acted with his mom.  We just knew each other well, and that seem to make life okay.  I have some every  good people in my life, people who seem to care about my well being, and some how I feel Kenny is in Heaven making sure I'm okay until he meet me at the end of my tunnel.  Love you Brother, and miss you much.

The heart of GOD.

Today, I called a very special person in my life.  The bible says in Psalms 27:10 "Even though your father and mother have left you, GOD will care for you.  11: Teach me your ways Father ( Adonai) lead me on a level path."  My grandmother told me to read this scripture and God would always provide for me.  So when my father was out doing ungodly things, the Lord will always provided me with someone to help in his place.  A lot of my very close relationships were with older people, and now as their getting tired and going home to get rest, its hard to say farewell until I come there too.  Today "Pop" McClendon sounded so tired, "Mom" McClendon went home over ten years ago, I think he really misses her.  The advantage as a young man in having so many older wiser people in your life to fall back on is so wonderful, but now my heart which is still in recovery is breaking today.  I love you Papi, but your will be done. You are a gem in my life and I thank GOD for you.

ME and GOD

God's ways, doesn't always make sense to me, but I'm not God.
