You never know what you're gonna get

I think I might have decided what i want to do in life

Besides being an herbalist i think i have in mind a profesion that i never thought i would be interested in.

Now i want to be a yoga instructor

Sounds crazy right for a brother to be talking like this but i might have finally found my calling

Right now im working for a yoga place passing out flyers for them

The job doesnt pay that much and i spend all day hounding people to take yoga classes but the second hand rewards are priceless.

I actually took a bikram yoga class yesterday.

Me!

The dude from the inner city, crime ridden, drug infested slums of baltimore took a hot yoga class with a whole bunch of yuppies yesterday.

Sounds crazy but i actually like the class.

It challenged me in ways that i have never been challenged before though.

It's intense because in a bikram yoga class the temperature is 105 degrees and you have to do movements for 90 minutes straight.

And you have to do strenuous stretching techniques that close off circulation to certain areas of the body, but when you relax those muscles the highly oxygenated blood pumps back into those veins, capillaries and arteries clearing out toxins and impurities.

It's intense, but i LOVED the challenge.

That was the first time i ever did yoga of any type but it wont be the last.

In about 6 months i can see myself working my way up getting a certification in brikham yoga and teaching classes to make a living.

In addition i will get additional certifications in herbology and that way ill be able to heal the body from a multi-faceted level.

When i get the certification i wanty yall to come up here and take the class for free.

Sunshine, when are you due?

We Live In Brooklyn Now Baby!

Thats right kid.

We live in the brooklyn zoo now baby.

Birthplace of Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Jay - Z, Biggie, and a whole host of celebrities and entertainers.

Things are going well.

Im finally doing something i love to do and getting paid for it (not much but that will be changing soon).

I work for a charity group that raises money for victims of homelessness.

I love it because i stand in the middle of manhattan everyday talking about just how bad homeless people are being treated by this wicked government.

And even though the vast majority of New Yorkians ignore the hell out of me, some atually contribute to our organization and show just how powerful the human spirit is.

Im out there 4 to 8 hours a day waxing on about how thousands of people are becoming homeless everyday.

It's like therapy actually.

I get my frustrations off of my back and in return educate the public about conditions that could affect their lives because none of us are immune to loosing our job or place.

Often i get crouds of people hovering around me just so they have can hear the sobering truthful words that i speak.

I have to admit im having a lot of fun.

Yesterday i stoped a guy who was trying to steal this woman's bookbag (that was fun).

I really dont know why he would try to do that because he was very fat and slow (i guess he thought nobody would chase him down).

Im getting my plan together and with the little bit im making i should be into my own place soon.

I should have thought about doing this a long time ago.

Ill keep in touch.
