Happy Birthday Fola!!!!
Today is my boy Fola Albert's birthday! Happy Birthday Snookums!!!!!
Fola and I have been friends since uuuhhhh 97! Yep I met him in Lag, through his brother and we've been cool ever since. He is the most Candid dude I know and makes no apologies for his(often unsolicited) opinions.
Fola comes to yankee every now and then and we hang out. He has gotten all old on me though, Responsible Family man and shit with wifey and two boys! He is still hilarious as fuck and never a dull moment with him. He will call me out in a heartbeat and I love him for that!
I have one picture of him from his last trip to yankee but he agrees I look fat in it so I aint sharing!
May God meet you at your point of need; equip you with all that is necessary to be the leader of your household and a father to your kids. May HIS abundant grace be evident in all you lay hands on.
Fola....... here is to being a great husband, the best dad and a God fearing man!!
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
