Funk Master Flash And The Mothership Atlantic
The mothership has suffered a terrible tragedy. It has encountered a storm that has terrified its occupants. FunkMaster Flash at the controls is unable to guide the ship to a safe landing. The ship is spinning out of control about to self destruct without a plan B. The blue box will reveal the ugly details once recovered. Davie AKA Funk Master Flash and his basketball sidekick Slam dunk Tom are trying to avoid a crash and save the crew. Some of the crew have already abandon the ship. Will the Funk Master Flash And Tom go down with the ship? ....Time is running out and unlike a ride on the Magic School Bus where everything turns out alright, the mothership is in a death roll.
Since the ships occupants are predominately African American I will refrain from using the term Titanic but never the less the ship is about to sink.
The ship is traveling through time , space, and multilevel marketing seas.
Its almost June 2010 Now and and the Sales Reps. are being paid for past February 2010. The checks received have no explanation of who the reps are being paid for or what time period. Some of us have not been paid at all and are very angry. When requested an explanation, the crew was sent a report so complicated that it was difficult to impossible to decipher.
Now Davie and Tom are not faith healers who can lay hands on the situation and heal the problem.
Seven months into the business and Davie and Tom are blaming Tricia And Tyrone's record keeping and management.
Surely The Funk Master Davie should have known that someone has to keep records; some one who is qualified.
Now Davie is a nice fellow. I like Davie. He can really dress to impress, but is the only Sales President
who can talk for two hours and say nothing. He is long winded, boring and corny .
Dave I don't need you to tell me to dream. I do that every night.
To dream about riches, success, and lots of money. Sure I would like to have a brand new house, new car and wonderful vacation. ...... Give... me...a.... break.
Just the facts Davie!! Don't preach to the choir. We are already in the business. Just show us the money: that all..............Slam Dunk Tom you might be able to sign a contract with the Seventy Sixer's if you survive. They are hurting right now.
Davie Boy I strongly recommend that you go directly to business school, do not pass go. Take an accounting course.
Never the less we love you both and thanks for the ride. It was so exciting while it lasted but that sudden stop is what killed the deal. Waiting on checks is no fun. Please understand that business is business. Where the money talks is where other stuff walks.
May God Bless You!! (Previously written May 17 2010)

The Night Has Eyes
The night has eyes that pierce the darkness . Predators stalk the night streets searching for easy prey. While most of the city sleeps, they operate under the cloak of darkness. History reveals the blood stained pavements of neighborhoods prone to violence. Stuffed teddy bears become a monument to the lives of sons and daughters who have become victims to violence.
We are fearful of the night where darkness prevails, but the night now shares its legacy with the day. Bold killers are spontaneous and act day or night. While we cherish the bright sunshine of day and feel somewhat safe to walk streets, it is the night we fear.
There is possibly more crime committed during the day. More people are out and about.
There is more opportunity for those inclined to commit acts of evil. The element of surprise works like a cloak of invisibility during the day. If the predator is calm and acts like nothing happened he is hardly noticed. Often the witnesses can’t believe what they actually saw because of the absolute boldness of the act. There is a tendency to be confused about what we actually saw. We get the facts twisted because of the sudden actions of the antagonist.
The night stirs the imagination of the scary causing fear when no one threatens.
We are fearful of our own shadows. If we are home alone, the slightest noise invokes nervousness. We jump at the movement of a fleeing mouse.
Our dreams of fear are called ...nightmares. It is the night that causes excitement.
Movies profit over night horrors. The Night Of The Living Dead a popular horror movie used the night to intensify the fright. Fright Night comes to mind. The Wolfman
gets jiggy at the full moon. Dracula can’t stand the daylight. Vampires love the night and hate the day. When I was a child I asked my mom to leave the light on for fear of the bogey man. Even as an adult I like having a light somewhere when I sleep.
Night is not all fearful. Ray Charles sang the night time is the right time for.......You know what! Night time is a great time for sleep and rest.
Night will always dominate its power and mystery over man. It is the night that we are mindful of. The night watches us and reveals our fears and joys.

Doomsday May21 2011
Doomsday May21 2011
I remember seeing a man walking down Broad Street here in Philadelphia about a month ago with a sign, saying Doomsday The End Of the World. It was a double face sign that he was wearing front and back. It caught my attention not because it alarmed me but the message made you think. My attention was focused on the fact that man is not immortal and the bible speaks of the of the Rapture and Judgement day.
The scriptures says, No man knows the day nor the hour, not even the Son but only God. After that sighting I began to hear and see more about this coming prophetic biblical event. I later heard that the radio minister Harold Camping was the prophetic voice behind this prediction.
As the day grew closer the prediction spread throughout the Radio world and TV land. The subject became food for jokes . To some it sparked humor but fear for others. The danger of spreading rumors is the reaction of those who follow and believe. The hour 6pm or 6:30 came and past after calling a few Of my Christian friends we joked and laughed and had no reports of anyone suddenly missing.
I believe the bible more than the doomsday prophets who misinterpret.
The world is going to end for all of us at our appointed time. As man pollutes the oceans and poisons the land he is contributing to the destruction of his world. The recent oil spill in the gulf of Mexico threatened the fishing industry and further polluted the ocean. The fishing industry has been affected to the point where we now have farm raised fish that many of us are skeptical of. Who knows what the farmers are feeding the fish to make them grow and what impact it has on our health. The supply of certain salmon is running out and other species are being depleted because of over fishing. Our food supply is constantly being threatened either by man made devices or nature's devastation. Our drinking water is being polluted by chemical runoff from industries and factories. Our planet is in danger from global warming and other catastrophes.
Earthquakes, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, twisters wars all threaten our survival . Nuclear meltdowns and Nuclear War all add to our doom, not to mention the spread of decease. Who knows how long man will survive as a species? No one knows but God.

Dreamscape
We sleep and dream. We dream nightmares, mysteries, love and sex, fame and fortune, wars and about death. There are those of us who say they never dream, how unfortunate. I have dreamed about trivial matters woke up and forgot. But I have experienced dreams that woke me up in the middle of the night so profound that I had palpitations of the heart and sometimes cold sweats. I have often wondered about the meaning of dreams. Sometimes it seems that I take a trip to another world through my dreams where the dreamworld imitates reality creating a fine line of separation. At times I can't tell the dream from reality.
I received visits from family members and loved ones who have passed away. They return so real, so like the days when they were alive. The dream becomes reality and my visitors are there to instruct me warn me or remind me. It is like I have entered an alternate universe.
The kings of the Old Testament Bible called on Joseph and Daniel to interpret their dreams The dreams revealed messages and mysteries. Nebuchadnezzar King Of Babylon after calling on the astrologers, magicians, enchanters, and wise men, finally relied on Daniel to interpret his dream.
Pharaoh's king Of Egypt called on Joseph to interpret his dreams.
How many of us have had dreams that troubled us? How many of us have had dreams come true?
I have read about Phychiatrist who have had patients lay on a bench and induce sleep in order to have their patients relive the past under a hypnotic spell.
How amazing is this phenomena we experience called dreaming. I suppose there are experts out there who can expound on the dream. I am still learning about dreams. For many of us it is the one event we can't escape.
Question: Do the dead sleep.?
