On a personal note, I am happy that it is a new year. A new year brings new dreams and hope. In a way, it is like having a new beginning. December 31st was one of the worst days if not the worst day in my life. So, what can I say? I am happy 2002 is over. Dave, Trisha, Baptiste, Chino - Thanks for everything. I won't forget.

Well this is an interesting year for me as I am about to embark upon another decade in my life. I sense that good things are ahead. No I am not dilusional, I know that with the good comes beaucoup de bad. Without the bad we would not call this state of being "life."

To those who departed this life in 2002, may their souls rest in peace and may those left behind bring honor to their memories. Hassan, Ms. Amy, the Johnsons and others hang in there. Life goes on. We are all here for you.

I now wish you all again many more fun moments in 2003. The format here has changed and it's no longer a monthly. Just check back often and look for updates. We will try to keep things dated and that way you will have a timeframe for what you are reading.

Now big up to all massive. Nuff respect!. One love.

Dwight

"Writing with the Spirits of Nature" By Stephen E. Jordan, II "Nature is but an image or imitation of wisdom, the last thing of the soul; nature being a thing which doth only do, but not know." ---Plotinus Every night before I go to bed I rest on my stomach. I hold a pen in my hand and press it onto a sheet of paper. I do not begin writing instantly, I simply wait. I wait for the inspiration and the feelings. I wait for the leaves, the grass, the sweet air and the sunlight to take over my soul and write for me-and they do, indeed. The Spirits of Nature guide my hand with their own penmanship and write in an extremely simple and free-minded style.      CONTINUE Yad TIDBITS Ok so whats' up with the Salvation Army refusing that $100,000 donation from a Florida Lotto winner because it came from gambling. Is the Salvation Army serious? Well Mr. David L. Rush, I am a poor black law student in need and i won't even take the entire $100,000. i will settle for a half even a quarter. Please call me up dear Sir. At least the Habitat for Humanity and the Rotary Club of Marco Island had the good sense to accept Mr. Rush's donations of  $100,000 and $50,000 respectively. "Everybody has a right to be sanctimonious if they want to be," said Rush. "I respect the Salvation Army's decision. I do not agree with it, but that is their prerogative." He said he has been giving money to the Salvation Army for 40 years. Rush sees the lottery, which has raised billions for Florida schools, as something other than a typical gambling organization. "There's no bigger gamble than investing in the stock market," said Rush, a financial adviser. "For them to say this is gambling is an overstatement."
