( 'GENERATION ME ')
I am so happy to be a ventriloquist! I always think about if it was not for sammy where would I be or what would I be doing if I did not discover the art of ventriloquism, let's think of a young boy growing up poor,what do you do, you create jobs so you can eat, most of us come from single parents homes, some of us were family on welfare,my mother was very successful in her government job,but other kids parents were not so successful in the job market,some kids made more money on the summer job programs than their parents did for the summer..my friends parents were all professionals, Marcel grandma was a home owner and was retired, my lil homie Rome dad worked for the city of los Angeles, his mother was a school teacher for los Angeles, Michael mom was a realtor. our parents success did not make us,because we were boys,understand in my generation it was easy for girls than boys, being a girl you could get anything you wanted if you cry, but being a boy you had to get your bread up and your hustle ON! , day and night hustlers, keep it pushing.. back in the day African American women used to say "ain't nothing going on but the rent" you had to keep your daily grind on because women in my generation would kick you to the curb if they caught you slipping, so today as I write in this new generation, I say WTF is this...I am a poor man today, I was a poor child, I come from the generation of the street hustlers,remember that saying back in the day "trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cent" that was my homies morning prayer......if you known me as a young boy, you would probably say I had issues and you probably be Wright,sure I was a trouble child and so were my friends but we all had two things in common and those two things were girls and making a dollar out of fifthteen cent.
the art of ventriloquism was my TICKET OUT!!! and Sammy thought me a better way of making a dollar out of fifteen cent, while my friends were committing crimes to make bread, I was doing shows with Sammy, my drive and hunger for my show business hustle became more and more..my friends accepted Sammy as one of us, they never clown him,meaning making fun of him, marcel, Michael and my lil homie Rome gave Sammy true homies love..they said I made a lot of bread with Sammy and I said  "sammy out hustle all my home boys Back in the day true that"...yeah! I was that little nigga with a ventriloquist doll name Sammy, making a dollar out of fifteen cent.Ha! ha! o.g.hustlers!
