Quotes
I like people that enjoy life, 'cause I do the same
The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.
I'm blessed and I thank God for every day for everything that happens for me.
I just always expect the best because I'm a competitor and if I'm competing, then obviously I'm trying to be better in everything.
Jail didn't make me find God, He's always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
