Bro. Ernie,
"As the 6th Element becomes the rage - all the hype-hoppas come down off the stage Sit they ass down respect the next phase of expression - one making deeper connections as stories untold, now unfold"...
Peace,

"Ernie, you never cease to amaze me. That film should be on the big screen cuz' it's something everyone needs to see. Children especially! Love what those gentlemen are doing every Friday at the school. I'm so gonna campaign for this to be shown in every school and household. When I show my friends "WHo SHot Ya" they say the same thing...feels like looking thru a photo album of their childhood. Thank you for being an unexpected yet well received mentor. Thank you for being such a huge contribution to my life. Muah...Peace"
