So im a huge fan of Don Cornelius and the soul train i'll do another drop on Don .C. and the Souuuulll Train  at a later date but I was watching some throwback interviews and what not and came across this



It's Rosie Perez she started as a soul train dancer in the 80's shes known also for acting in a few spike lee flicks





I bet she was sore after that number haha but all in all shes a dope actress just found it's crazy that she started as a Soul Train dancer anything is possible

So I Fell in love with apple computers back in 07 my freshman year at JwU (shout out to ASHLIE). I never knew such technology existed And i always wanted one so i started saving, i would work and save but something always came up books, flight tickets, FOOD, etc. So i could never seem to stack up enough loot to get one. But finally this year i got on my saving grind and put up enough loot to buy myself a refurbished MacBook Pro for about 999 saved about 200$ and i must say it's been the best purchase ive made in my 20yrs of life. I was almost pursuaded to by a HP and many other pcs but i couldnt sway and im glad i didnt. just check this dude

 

Liberation

http://www.divshare.com/download/9897205-6d3

"wE alive but we ain't living"

liberate |ˈlibəˌrāt|verb [ trans. ] (often be liberated)

set (someone) free from a situation, esp. imprisonment or slavery, inwhich their liberty is severely restricted : the serfs had been liberated. • release (someone) from a state or situation that limits freedom ofthought or behavior. (marniate on that)
So I was maxin to some outkast on my itunes today and this gem came on. i sat back and thought about somethings and looked up the word liberate, and came to the conclusion that many of us need liberated from something. I'm not gonna get too deep on you guys but for the new year of OH10 (2010) im striving to do one thing….enjoy and live my life free of anyone else's opinion because at the end of the day i'm not here to please man but to praise GOD…do the same a liberate yourself……1
