Recently, I attended an Allstar UBA Basketball game that a friend invited me to...he was in the dunk contest. As he attempted to slam the ball, it came to me that life is just like this Slam Dunk Contest. You may do lots of tricks and be very creative but sometimes you still don't get the basket but if you just keep trying, eventually you will shoot!
Just a word of encouragement for your day!

Time To Stop Breeding Hate!
Mama Hate - When We Speak TV
This is a song that I wrote about hatred, whether it be racism, homophobia, child abuse, or bullying. I was sitting at my house one day and I heard so many stories about kids being bullied, suicide bombings, and just alot of violence and hatred. It bothered me so much that I had to sit down and write a song about it called "Mama Hate".
I came up with this concept because I believe that we are not elevating as we should in life, because we live in so much hatred. I don't believe that this is something that is in us, I think that it is a behavior that our grandparents were taught- and they taught our parents- and our parents taught us- and we have taught it to our kids.....When does this horrible cycle ever stop? I vow to no longer be a child of Mama Hate.

"Get Out" By Jermaine Sain
I wrote this song years ago. I was in a very mentally abusive relationship and in the midst of it, I found myself homeless, working for minimum wage, and many months behind on my car loan.
One day, as I was attempting my suicide plan. I fled down the highway in my car to run it off a bridge.......well.....that's all you need to know....I didn't do it! And the words to this song came to me!
I would like to encourage anyone that has ever been in an abusive relationship or have ever contemplated suicide, that neither is worth your life. You are much better than him/her and your life is too precious to take.
Sometimes I wondered why I had to go through that stage of my life and now I realize that it was so that I can now appreciate where I am, the money I make, the house, I live in, and the car I drive....It's not the best but thank God, I found "my way out" and ""I Feel Good"!

Coming Out to Your Parents
"Coming out" to your parents and the ones you love, is never an easy test. You don't know if they will reject you or if they will accept you. Please keep that in mind whenever you decide to come out to your family or friends. It's sad that someone can know you for so many years and disown you just because of your sexuality... but it happens.
Most of all, remember that sexually is something that is private. You make the decision whether or not you want to share your private life publicly. So, before opening your mouth to "come out the closet" make sure that you are willing to accept if the person, likes it or not.
