To My Unborn Daughter:
As I look around this blasted world and I can honestly say... fear for you my beautiful girl. It’s such a cruel place, it’s very unforgiving, also people seem so oblivious to how backwards we’ve been over the last decade. Though I believe you will be fine regardless of whatever is put in your way. Not because I’m an optimist (I’m a realist from time to time, borderline pessimist often), because I know where...more so who's loins you came from. Your full of people who will or have worked their asses off to make sure you WILL have all these tools to succeed in your life. I don’t know what hell you will do with those tools, but I assume you will use them to your advantage and make the most of all your opportunities. For if you do not, I'll still love you just for whom you are my beauty.
When you get to know me, I’m a man of my word, and I make sure that if I say I’m going to do something that it gets done. So I’ll only make one promise to you as my daughter: to do whatever Daddy has to do to make sure you excel. Even if that means playing the "bad cop" to your mother’s "good cop" and having you hating my guts, then fuck you... so be it, my daughter will be the best. Losing sleep, if I gain weight. If I start balding earlier than I should, we may have to reconsider this agreement, and ship you off to boarding school.
The other thing you will learn when you get older is that I’m pretty good at giving advice, and if I know you like I think I do, so understand I will give all your boyfriends hell, Fuck them for they will not mistreat my little queen. The male sex is quite rude, plotting. I know these things, Why you may ask? because...You should ask your mother. She's better at explaining that than I could for your little ears baby.
All men will disappoint you at one time or another, including myself.
I want you to know this up front, because some women do go through life thinking that the perfect man is out there. He doesn’t exist, my lil momma. I can tell you that there is a guy out there who'll love you like you deserve, and protect you from hurt, And even that man will disappoint you somewhere along the line because we are not perfect. Just work with him to make him the best that he can be. But remember rule no. 1.
I just wanted to share wisdom so that you will have a good foundation for what we called “The Life”. I don’t know what you all will call it, I can’t wait to meet you, and I hope that we will be able to talk about these and other topics one day soon. I love you.

So I've been around.
one of my favorite songs at the moment, Since I've been on a bloggin' roll as of lately. I decided to actually come back to "The House Of Ray." See how everything is. Dust off somethings in this house, summer is wrapping up. It was fun while it lasted, one of the best....I just have yet to go to Olive Garden for the Never ending pasta bowl. Outside of that its been a lil over a year since I've torn my achilles, glad I rebounded from it. I dont personally feel I've fully rebounded in whice case they say people do not, but I still am adjusting to this whole heel hurting every morning I wake up.
That's here nor there, I deadass wanna hit Olive Garden also Loco's...Well I know my blogs are typically longer than this. Just not today..I've blogged myself out in the span of one day...So catch me at my other sites for longer updates please? Hope you all still love me or have some sentiment towards me still.

To you younger Rick
Dear Manz (Mah-Manz, Lil Rick, Roderic)
I just want to tell you lil papi, everything is going to be fine. I promise, so just hear me out.
You’ll go through storms, but you’ll come through scraped, even a little scarred yo. You will face alot storms yo, but you will stay strong and stay ground. You’ll also come to various roads, that you will choose to go down the wrong one, because you are quite inquisitive, though you will find your way back to the right one, whichever path it may be.
In regards to love, You’ll know love (Also the name of your godmother whom you love dearly, as well as your godfather) and you’ll give love in return. Your heart will be defeated, but you won’t be broken. There will come about 2 times when you want to stay in the dark, lost in the dark, but you will have friends/Familia who’ll help be a light to lead you out of darkness. You’re going to cry a river into your pillow like a lil girl, but by the grace of God you’ll see a well lit path and the tears will cease to drown you in sorrow. Do not...do not be frightened by those revelations, these are valuable lessons learned that will prepare you for the next time, because there will be a next time little man. Lies and deceit will not taint your belief that there are people out there deserving of love and willing to love in return. Love isn’t always painful As I think it is now at 24, it shouldn’t be, and you will grow up knowing that. Be fair in love always, don’t expect to get what you aren’t willing to give.
You will have friendships that don’t make it and some that do. You will always try to save your friends from mistakes and pain, but you’ll realize that sometimes you have to abandon ship before you’re taken under. Some people just can’t be saved. You aren’t their captain. You’re the master of your own ship. So you have to do you! Some friends will be broken and unfixable without all the parts being there. You can’t always be the glue. You’ll also realize some people don’t deserve the title “friend”, but you’ll know which ones do. The ones who take your criticism and brutal honesty, get upset at you for a day and then hug you and thank you for being truthful when they weren’t ready to hear it, those are friends. The ones who aren’t afraid to return the honesty and criticism, the ones who don’t just want you to say “YES!” those are the one’s who are worthy of the title “friend”.
At 18 years old, you will catch your first case ever. Also Sha will break up with you, It’ll hurt like hell to lose her, but that will be a defining moment in your young life. You’ll realize your strength and know you are self-reliant. You won’t have friends to talk to about your pain with, because they’ll be too immature to handle it. It will hurt, but you’ll let them know how you feel and let them go. You will always stand up for yourself and those who are not able and are too afraid to stand up for themselves. You won’t mind being a scapegoat. You will always hunger for more and thirst for knowledge, the need will not subside until you’ve been fed.
You’ll realize no matter how bad you think things are, someone out there’s got it worse, so you’ll pray for them instead. That’s the man you will become.
All my love,
