Attitude

‎"Ability is what you are capable of doing, Motivation determines what you do, & Attitude determines how well you do it."

"Anger"

Anger is only one letter away from Danger, think before you act, you could have an uninhibited chain reaction to self destruct, licking your self-inflicting wounds gazing into a wide open space that is completely empty.

Questioned by Life

Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.

Life quote...

Life is one long curve, and full of many turning points, stop signs, and U turns, but God can point you in the right direction.

"Theoditopectodouris"

Late in the evening on December 24, 1963 on Christmas Eve, LoQuan Lee laid out in the street by the railroad tracks with pain in his chest area. Prior to LoQuan having pains in the chest area, he was running through the cold and snow and suddenly stopped. As he laid there he had fallen into a deep sleep, and was found by an old man who lived 3 doors from where he laid in the snow. The old man had called for help, and they arrived about 6 minutes later. The paramedics had checked out LoQuan, and diagnosed him with "Theoditopectodouris", and told him he was going to the hospital. They had told him he properly has "Theoditopectodouris" which is a disease of not going in to warm up in the cold weather. It is not quite frostbite, but just cold. As the Paramedics continued to evaluate him, he began to get worried of his new found disease. The sad part was that the Medics had a straight face when they told him. He was coming around more and more, and started asking questions about the disease, like what is it, where did it come from, can I get rid of it. LoQuan had a rancid look on his face as the medic unit was moving to go to the hospital. He has failed to realize that he is a frequent flier with the medics, but he can't understand that he has passed out before, and had chest pains. According to the EKG machine, the chest pains are not serious, but they are taking him to the hospital anyway. After they arrive at the hospital he is being wheeled down the hall into the ER. They trade his information with the nurse on duty and they write their report and leave. LoQuan is laying on the gurney thinking about his new found disease. Finally he was waited on, and put into a very warm room, and stayed there until he fell asleep. The next morning he arose and felt very good. The nurse came in and took his temperature, and other vitals. He had noticed that he did not have any pains in the chest, or anywhere for that matter. The doctor came in to review issues with him, and told him his "Theoditopectodouris" was gone, and a big smile came over his face, and he was ready to go home. Really all LoQuan needed was some heat. As he laid there, he remembered that is was cold and snowy Outside, and just wanted to lay there. After a while he felt good, and a nurse came in and alerted him that his "Theoditopectodouris" was good as gone and he could go home. The nurse told him that the medics call people who are cold that they have "Theoditopectodouris", LoQuan laughed his head off, got dressed and left the hospital laughing, and smiling at everybody.

"Saturday"

Saturday is the 1st.day of the week, and a great blessed day for many. Saturday is a good day to celebrate a birthday for Leon, and Cathy Clark, because they were born on the same day in 1944. This Saturday will be July 4th. and it is a wonderful day to throw a surprise party for them both. Neither Leon or Cathy never had a surprise party for their birthday's ever, so this would be a function for the whole family to participate. Leon as well as Cathy have many friends in Newport News, Va. there home town, so many people would attend the surprise party. They live in a Senior Apartment Building on Jefferson Blvd. & 64th. Street in the downtown area of Newport News. Leon's nephew Jason is the one who wants to plan the party for them both , and has suggested the idea to a few other family members. The idea is to keep them both busy so they do not know what is going on Saturday at 4 o"clock. So Jason has asked cousin Audrey to pick up Leon and Cathy and take them to Norfolk to the Waterfront to the Sea Food Festival at the City Dock. Both of them like Seafood a lot, should be willing to go. Audrey was laughing to herself as she got off the phone, because it was so easy for them wanting to go. They wanted to go so much that they were hungry through the phone, you could hear the joy from the tone of there voice. It was set Audrey had 3 days to set things up to pull the wool over there eyes, and deceive them to be surprised about the party. Audrey had told Jason about taking them to Norfolk, and he had laughed and said it was a good Idea. There was also a Nicolina Music Fest going on there too, which is a Blues Festival on the Waterfront. Leon loves his Blues, and would enjoy it very much to hear some good music, especially being treated by Audrey his niece. Cathy is not much on blues, but will suffer through it as she watches Leon enjoy it. It became Friday night and Audrey was getting stuff together for Saturday to take with her to Norfolk, and the short trip to the party back in Newport News. Jason called Audrey to see if everything was set for Saturday, and it was. Jason had rented out the assembly room at the Senior Center for the party, and many people were cooking and bringing a dish. Leon nor Cathy had any idea a surprise party was being planned for them, for all they knew was that they were being treated to the Sea Food Festival, and the Blues Festival to enjoy there birthdays. On Saturday morning Audrey had called them and told them she would pick them up at 11:30 to go to the Sea Food Festival, and they were overjoyed at the notion to go. Audrey had pulled up, and Leon was on the porch waiting yelling to Cathy, "come on", Audrey is here, and she hurries out the house. As they ride through town Leon & Cathy seem to enjoy the ride, but have no idea that a party is being planned for them. Jason has called Audrey to tell her everything is set, and he will see them at 6:30pm back at the Senior Center. Leon and Cathy have been enjoying the day, and hated to go, but they decided to go back to the Senior Center and relax after a wonderful day. They arrive at the Center, and see a lot of cars, and hard to park after going around the block, but finally find a parking space. They go in and Audrey say she has to go to the bathroom that is in the lobby in the assembly room, and Leon and his wife stand there and wait for her. Audrey has been gone for 10 minutes, so Leon & Cathy decide to go in and see if she is ok. The room is dark as they enter, but they hear things moving, but as they get to the near center of the floor....the lights come on and a very loud "SURPRISE", LEON & CATHY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. there faces were astonished with joy, and terror the same time, as the music starts to play, and people begin to dance. Many come over to shake hands and give hugs, and they both were happy to see so many people. In the corner is a table with many gifts on it, and Cathy has a flood of tears in her eyes. Leon"s eyes begin to water as he cry's out that he has never had a surprise birthday party, and he is 66 years old. Jason grabs the microphone and starts singing "Happy Birthday, as everyone joins in, and they both are in the middle of the floor crying, and saying "this is a very wonderful Saturday", and this is none like no other.
