My Thoughts: Why is there so much violence in this world? I see these school shootings, and they hurt me to see these kids. On February 14th, (Valentine’s Day) in Florida, there were a high school shooting. 17 people went to Heaven, and (I think) 22 are injured. But, all the students have depressions, nightmares, and the awful memories of their friends being shot. Valentine’s Day should be about love, and not hate, shooting people. For those who lost their kids, I AM truly sorry. But, look at it this way, your son or daughter is with God and is your angel. He or she is not in pain. I know you want them here, in your arms. But, if they were, they would be in pain, on life-support, or be in a wheelchair. If I were you and my kid was in a school shooting, I’d be so glad because they are with Christ.
My Spiritual Thoughts:
"Doubt not, fear not......................"
"Doubt not, fear not......................"
The News:
Very sad news: Anna, sadly, quit because of school. I’m not mad at all because in my book, school is #1. But, I am very sad because she’s a really good. Goodbye, Anna. I, personally, will miss you. :’(
APDJ: Since a young kid, I wanted to be a DJ. Because of my speech, I couldn’t be, I thought. I have friends that are DJs. One of them is Ziggy. I mention to Ziggy, as a joke, that I want to be a DJ. Well, two weeks ago, he created a new radio station, “Joyful Noise”. It’s about uplifting, worship music. He also has a normal station, Inked-Radio.com. This one, whatever you want.
On February 16, Ziggy asked me to be a DJ on this station. I thought he was joking at first. But, when he asked me, I knew he wasn’t.
As Ziggy explain the Joyful Noise rules to me, I felt I couldn’t be myself. So, I asked to be apart of Inked-Radio family. I am, now. My DJ name is, APDJ. The stations are online, www.inked-radio.com and www.joyfulnoiseradio.tk. Please, join the party with me. I don’t know what time I’ll be on, on Joyful Noise yet. The Inked Radio, I’ll be on Mondays & Fridays at 12pm (noon) to 3pm, pst, USA.
I tried being a DJ twice, already. Truthful, it’s really easy. I truly thought it would hard; I’m beyond glad that I was wrong. The other DJs are like my family. I learned a lot from them, already. DJ Ziggy, DJ Smiles, DJ Cruse, DJ Lane, DJ Crazy J, and the others, I am beyond grateful, thankful, and blessed to you in my life. You, guys, make me laugh and a normal person. I joke with them and they do the same. They play GREAT and GOOFY songs. Please join us and dance and laugh with us on www.inked-radio.com. I’m promising you, you will not be sorry.
Poetry Readings, WHA!: I asked Ziggy if I can read some of my poetry on air, and guess what he said, YES. So, I’m doing poetry readings again. Tune in for poetry readings dates on air, www.inked-radio.com. I don’t know when yet. But, I WILL DO THEM! I’m really excited about this.
Hot Rod: I’m going to play baseball, again. I’m really excited too. I’m with the team as last year, The Cardinals. GO CARDINALS!

BEYOND THIS VALLEY!
Wreck less, wicked and selfish
Man in me.
Tempted, the mountain's foot
I see, for valley's nature would
Want me, but Calvary will would
Dare me to see the king beyond this valley that I need.
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap.
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the saviours word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
Hell is found in me and fear withhold the real man I can be.
Tears around like a sea I see
To shackle her tides that lie on
My chick; for so wounded the land that lie in my inside I feel, how breathless is the ghost that makes my human? But there is a savior beyond this valley to reach.
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap,
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the saviours word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
Riffles to my heart I fear,
Bibles in the temple for my rest,
The riches a man have, a fruitless
Effort to pass the eye of a camel.
The danger I see like a slugered in me to push the rugged road to my
Path to go, no dying me in the land beyond this valley!
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap,
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the Saviour’s word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
DJ Iykem.
Want help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.
For New Comers: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011.
