In a time when many of the decisions we make are scrutinized and examined with a fine tooth "power to the people" hair pick, my advice to you, friends, is to Keep Rhyming.
For me this is literal. Throughout the years I, Rhyming Steve, have met more than my share of naysayers, haters, and generally mean people that either through words or actions have attempted to destroy what i've worked so hard to build, or at least get me to shut up. My response has always been the same; Keep Rhyming. In fact, this "hater-ade" often becomes the fuel for the next masterpiece. Ex: "What's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with me? I longingly long for some longevity...", or "Ugh. He's so annoying..." "How does what this boy do annoy you, I'll just try to avoid you...", etc. This Keep Rhyming mantra has allowed me to literally "spit" (synonomous with rhyme) in the faces of those that just don't get it (or do, but are really just annoyed, tired, depressed, stuck in their own head, etc).
For the rest of you Neat Tippers, Keep Rhyming is more of a tool to motivate you to keep doing whatever it is that you love or are just good at. As tough as it is some days, as far from the light at the end of that tunnel you think you are, just Keep Rhyming. Regardless of whatever path you've chosen or plan to choose, you will succeed as long as the love and passion is there. Whether it's studying wine, schmoozing corporate folks, or climbing trees, just Keep Rhyming and use the negativity that is attracted to someone who wants to carve their own route as fuel for that fire that burns within.
Besides, what would Diego think if his old man's alter ego shut up when people wanted him to?
Know Rhyme, Know Happiness
No Rhyme, No Happiness

Another gem from the jeweler of my life. It's a landslide folks!
I love cuppy cake.
When installing a headfort, be sure to properly ventilate.
Has anyone seen my finger?
Yet another profile for R.S/Prince:
Don "the jeweler" Mattingly
Any thoughts?
I concur with pamerlerthewammerler's comment from yesterday regarding her photo journalistic talents. You should see her at a Redskins game...epic squared.
don the jeweler is ridiculous, especially when coupled with that M rocked at golf weekend 06..
hey rhyming steve, you left the computer on at home dummy
Great shine to take everyone into the weekend. RS is a guiding light. Although I have been known to drink from the cup of "hater-ade" mentioned, it is usually at the end of a a very looong night, and my own depression has begun to set in.
But in the immortal words of another Steve (but no more of a Wonder than the rhyming one) I say to RS
Keep smiling/[rhyming], keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
yo that's what friends are for
to take you places you may or may not have been before
please excuse my relentless jaw
but something something endless raw...
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens;
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens;
Brown paper packages tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.
Love & Hugs,
CuppyCake
