RED STATE USA TOUR
Posted by: | CommentsThe Harvey Boys Present
Red State, U.S.A. Tour
Movie SCREENING and Kevin Smith Q&A
Ever since Clerks (co-winner of the Filmmakers Trophy at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival), Kevin Smith has been known for his sharp, subversive, comedic writing. He shifts from comedy to horror with Red State and aptly demonstrates that good writing transcends genre.
Red State begins by following three horny high school boys who come across an online ad from an older woman looking for a gang bang. Boys being boys, they hit the road to satisfy their libidinal urges. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying “holy” force with a fatal agenda. Instead of relying on archetypes and predictable formulas, Smith meticulously fashions all-too-real characters, utilizing exceptional performances (notably by Michael Parks) and an intelligent script. His realistic style gives the film an intimate feeling, heightening the terror to biblical proportions. Red State is a shocking new kind of horror film that aggressively confronts higher powers and extreme doctrines with a vengeance. (Credit, the Sundance Film Festival)

HOW DO LIES HURT OTHERS
Posted by: | CommentsHOW DO LIES HURT OTHERS
Read this piece and then ask yourself how you would feel if the same thing had happened to you. How do lies hurt others? How many lies have to be told to cover up the real truth? How do these lies affect your lifestyle? How do they affect society in general? Most of all what can we do to come forward when we become a victim of a vicious prankster? Please share your comments and your stories with us. Tell us about your adventures from social sites. Did you find what you were looking for or has it been an issue to constantly deal with? We want to hear from our wonderful readers.
I’LL NEVER MISS YOU MY OLD FRIEND
Saying goodbye is never very easy
When you’ve been hurt a time or two
It’s time to let the world know now
Here is what I won’t ever miss about you
Three long hours, you yelling on the phone
No kiss, or warm hug, or nice little hello
It was just hurry up and get here baby
You’re late, and we have just got to go
Your stinking’ laundry clean or dirty
Now who would really ever know?
From all the papers and the nasty trash
Scattered everywhere from head to toe
As you doused yourself at night
With imitation “Cool Water” cologne
I got to know your wonderful brother
So I didn’t have to be there alone
I can remember shopping at the Sears store
Buying sets of sheets just to make a clean bed
Not knowing what else might be found
It was always something I would dread
Cock roaches, fleas, and the spiders
Who climbed all over the wall
Sleeping on your dirty sheets
That simply made my skin crawl
How could you live so dreadfully gross?
Your weekly bath always seemed to amaze me
Then you put on your crowd security uniform
From the dirty floor for all the world to see
I hated the mold from “science projects”
Those nasty dirty dishes scattered here and there
A thorough cleaning didn’t mean a thing
Cause you didn’t really even care
Bags of garbage I hauled downstairs
Many times I did this over and over again
Like “Mrs. Doubtfire” I never complained
But you couldn’t even hit the trashcan my friend
Mice scratching on the bathroom wall
Roaches crawling into the bathtub too
One loud scream but you didn’t hear me call
You said you had “better things to do”
I remember how I passed out once
Tossing water in my face without a care
When my migraine was so painful
It was more than any human could bear
I was always your knight in shining armor
Whenever you were physically or emotionally hurt
Playing taxi driver to get you some medical help
While you continued to treat me like dirt
When I met you on a MySpace page in 2008
From a magazine editor who thought you were great
You said you were calling me from a photo studio
But you were really just setting up the bait
I believed in someone who was said to be true
And that I admit was my biggest mistake
You have your story so down to a routine
It’s difficult to know that you are a fake
All of your profiles on social sites were lies
From the “crime scene photographer and instructor”,
To the ex-football player and the stripper too
But best of all a mistreated daddy and mentor
The abused husband and great security cop
A man of many unknown faces and disguise
Can you think of yourself as an honest man?
When all do you is live with more crazy lies
You knew that I was always honest and true
And you played a con game like a routine
Using your children who had been abused
Your sympathy pot was your greatest scheme
The truth should be told about how we met
As you completely lied to me through and through
You never finished high-school, don’t have a GED
Or any real training to actually compliment you
You told me you taught crime scene photography
Drove a police car and had to shoot a gun to qualify
But I found out law enforcement didn’t even know you
There was no class, cause it was all just a big lie
You didn’t even know the Chief of Police
You had a rap sheet in every surrounding county
I should have looked through court files first
But nothing you do will ever really astound me
You give the word Freelance a new meaning
Cause honey a Freeloader is what you really are
My gosh, you didn’t even have auto insurance
All those times you were putting miles on my car
If I had known the truth like I know now
I would never have wasted my time to meet you
You would never have been a friend
No matter what I was going through
You tried to talk me into buying a weapon
Telling me how bad you needed it for your work
But you had your weapon taken away from you
Because of what you really did, you crazy jerk
You’re constantly whining all the time
And your complaining almost everyday
I don’t miss the pouting and the silence
When things didn’t always go your way
And all of your violent temper tantrums
Whenever things didn’t go just right
Oh how many times I had to keep my mouth shut
So there wouldn’t be a terrible fight
I saw you alter several emails to forward them
To try to make you look like “a real prize”
Oh how I wanted to tell them all the truth
As the innocent read all your terrible lies
You took my pain pills from my suitcase
Yep, I know you’re a “pain pill junkie”
How many did you get from the streets?
Yeah, you’re really “a bad little monkey”
All those movies and CD’s I bought
And the childish games you had to play
All the meals I was forced to pay for
And all the gas expense along the way
I already had the experience that I vowed to learn
To start the online magazine in the year 2008
Oh yeah, you begged me to be a part of it
And everything was going to be just great
Truth be told you lied about the Metal Man
Who started a magazine with your stolen lap top
Using him to get into the concert shows
But when is this madness going to stop
You can still laugh at everything I bought
While you sit your dirty touché in my office chair
Everything to start a small business in KC
Then smile inside cause I won’t be there
All the business property you promised
Many times you were going to pay for
And your signed contract from May 2009
That’s something we won’t ever ignore
How you got me involved with the “metal man”
To get in good graces with “Live Nations” and “AEG”
Yep, you always think about your own self first
With no regard for what you all have done to me
You schemed, planned, and taunted my family
My friend, you play a vicious game so well
While you play the part of a broken hearted father
Who by his own fault may be doomed to living hell
You’re very demanding and self-centered
Well maybe you’re just “high strung”
Sometimes when I’d hear your pathetic voice
I’d hope someone would rip out your tongue
I hated how you used those three little children
Like they were just a pawn in a sick game
Playing the part of the innocent daddy
When the truth put most people to shame
What did you teach those precious children?
When you lie so much that I feel their pain
I know they’re in a much better place now
No need to let them know you could be insane
I loved those little precious children of yours
And all of your wonderful family members too
It’s really quite a sad moment in my life
When I think of what you put me through
The times I paid for other things
When I wanted to do something nice
Then I paid for a computer for the kids
Somehow I just kept paying the price
I should have looked at your criminal record
I would have never got involved with you
Or some of your master con friends
And the wicked games that they play too
I’m surprised they don’t check your performance
And watch how you really check the cars at night
Find out how you really did become so injured
Or how many times you may have started a fight
You take what you can while you beg for more
As you search for more female players on the net
You don’t know how much I’ve prayed for you
Cause you don’t have your act together yet
Those women better become more aware
Cause they really haven’t got a clue
Nobody will really ever understand
What it’s like being close to you
Your stories become greater and bolder with age
The lies have taken you in deeper and deeper
Looking at you is like seeing the devil himself
Being in a horror movie, waiting for the grim reaper
So when you talk on your cell phone
Use your blue tooth– gee I paid for that too
Ranting and running your demented and twisted tongue
Those minutes can’t add up to what I’ve done for you
You talk trash about the “bands” and record labels
You claim that “everyone owes you so much money”
Truth be told, it’s the other way around
But none of us think you’re very funny
Someday maybe they will search your backpack
Or catch you on camera as you so carefully steal
Oh one day soon, you will eventually slip up
While you search for the ticket of your next meal
You’ve altered photo passes at indoor concerts
You’ve even stolen lanyards right from the venues
You’ve taken things from your own work place
Yeah, honey you have even made the news
You tried to start a charge account using my name
With a photography store in NY over the internet
Don’t you know that fraud is a very serious crime
But this is something so dishonest that I will never forget
I have saved their letter for my evidence
In fact I have saved more than you will ever know
I even paid for your photography site on pbase
But really there is no studio for anyone to go
Yes I’ve saved all of your hateful emails
Especially your nasty phone text
And even on the ‘facebook’ walls
I never know what else I should expect
You create multiple accounts on social sites
You might even have one for each personality
But I have nothing to really hide from you
Yet, you still seem to want a piece of me
You’ve had several people you know threaten me
And many others who may want to do me in
But God knows I’m really not afraid of you now
He will guard me to guide me away from your sin
When I think of how you take advantage of your mother
Especially when she works hard to make ends meet
And how you sponge off of your dear brother
While you run your mouth and sit on your seat
It makes me feel so depressed and sick inside
You don’t seem to have any remorse
You’re a pathetic 40 year old child
Setting up a devastating crash course
I’m ashamed of myself for ever caring about you
Yes, that was my second big mistake
I shouldn’t feel sorry for the weak like I do
Life is not just a give—not just a take
I’ve built up a strong wall around me
And a solid foundation of great friends
With God to lead me on a better path
By the gracious message he sends
I met many women who you have used in the past
I’ve seen disturbing photos on your computer screen
Sometimes I wonder how long the next victim will last
As you stalk and plot against the innocent human being
Oh you may have the fools fooled for now
And your job probably doesn’t know the truth
But the evidence will all stack against you
And then watch the fireworks as they cut loose
I know you’ll just find a new “cash cow”
From all of those women you so befriend
But honey, I’m so done with you now
You get it– this is simply the beginning to an end
I guess you better work more hours to pay me back
I won’t be around to ever lend you a hand again
I still have impeccable proof and all of my receipts
Yeah honey, think fast…you owe me over “4 Grand”
While you TRY to destroy all of those around you
It’s all just simply just a matter of time
Theft, lies, vandalism, deception –what next
They’ll have all the proof to link you with the crime
You can tell people that I “sleep around”
Just to get “backstage” with all the bands
But when the law comes looking for you
It will be taken completely out of my hands
Go ahead and keep stealing my photos and things
You can say you’re a writer for many a magazine
Tell your side of the story to the news and radio shows
Just know— you’re the only one causing a scene
The more you try to do to hurt or destroy me
The more stories I’ll just have to write about
Your true colors will come shining through
Believe me—there’s absolutely no doubt!
It’s too bad the names had to be changed
To protect the guilty parties in this case
I’m really sorry that I ever believed in you
And I will never forget your changing face
You tried to turn my life into a terrible nightmare
When an “I’m sorry” would have meant so much
Though the more truth I’ve learned about you
Tells me there’s really nothing more to discuss
It’s time the real truth begins to show surface
But, I do hope you find a way to come clean
Before you find yourself and the gang locked away
And you all finally get to make the great jail scene
It’s too bad you and your little group
Don’t want to see the real complete truth
I was never seriously in love with you
But trying to get them to see it is no use
I’ve tried to keep you totally out of my life
Over and over again and again
You’ve got to start admitting your mistakes
Before you can move on my old friend
You never had anything more than just a piece of my heart
I know that you really never cared
Maybe it’s time for you to search your inner sole
Then remember the few good times we may have shared
You see you are nothing more than an ol’ memory
People can change when they get the help they need
You’ve got to focus on admitting your guilt from the lies
Before you are really ever going to fully succeed
I vow, if anything ever should happen to me now
Just think where they are going to look first
You may think you won the game this time round
Though now, you are the one who is forever cursed
You see you can take away material things
You can rant to low life trash like yourself
You better start seeing a professional doctor
Cause you’re not an idol for anyone’s shelf
Yes, I know about your anger management
It’s the violent nature of the savage beast
And the court file documents can always be seen
But you don’t seem to worry in the least
So how many times did you lose your kids?
Wow, you even got booked twice on “Jerry Springer”
You try to follow in your father’s footsteps
But honey, you’re actually an awful singer
Maybe we should find the old show archives
Then put them all up on you tube to see
But I couldn’t ever do something like that
To cause hurt to your many great family
You tried to upset my own son many times
You even threw your outrage at my spouse
So if you know what is really the best choice
You’ll keep your gang away from my house
You can constantly talk trash about me
As my family and friends keep movin’ on
You’ve tried to bring negative drama to pull us down
But we know we are dealing with a sick con
I gave up many a dear friend over the likes of you
Though friends may all come and go
Those who know me so very well
Say that “you will eventually reap what you sow”
If you think you are someone invincible
You better think long and hard again
Spend some time and go back to high school
Then start a new life my old dear friend
Yeah you are the great KC photographer
Oh we know how “you manipulated the vote”
But we saw all the angry and disturbed faces there
And news media was sure to take note
Keep living your lies like you are doing,
In sweet denial of all you do so wrong
Someday you’re going to be an old lonely man
Singing your same ol’ sad and sorry song
Oh sweet little man with the baseball cap
And the cargo style blue jeans doused in cheap cologne
Sit there and stare back at your computer screen
Then ask yourself “how does it feel to be alone”
I’ll never really miss you my old friend
Truth is you’ll never succeed in anything
So just lie.. lie.. lie.. like Pinocchio did
And then reap all the sadness you bring
Some people call you the “butt hole” of KC
Since they only see a small “stack of crap”
Like a mouse going after the cheese
Watch the springs bounce back from the trap
Even if you changed your attitude
Or you had a complete “remake”
Those of us who already know the truth
Would still see you as ‘the great fake’
Men like you are a dime a dozen
Honey, you’re not even a nickel’s worth
Now it’s time for me to fly so free
While you sit here and rot on this earth
Yes, I’ll never miss you my old friend
When I am gone your legacy will live on too
The true stories will spread like a wild fire
And that will be the last straw for YOU!
I guess you could call this piece, “a closure”
As I continue writing the chapters you seek
Sending scripts to others for safe-keeping
But honey, you won’t ever get a sneak-peek
You can call it your “chance at fame”
It may really only last a great minute
Now tell your goons to stay off my back
Cause their may be others written in it
They say “watch what you say to a true writer”
Cause your words verbatim may be in their next book
Suspense, thriller, romance, mystery, or more
No doubt, the world will have a new outlook
You see when you tell a lie you can’t go back
Then the drama you created just gets bigger
You could be responsible for someone’s own life
If the wrong person decides to pull the trigger
I don’t believe you will really ever come clean
Though for your family’s sake I wish you would
It would take one of God’s great miracles
For you to live by the truth like you should
Oh Yeah, I’ll never miss you my old friend
No matter where time may lead you to go
But “honesty will always be the best policy”
This is something that everyone should know
There’s one more thing I really need to add
Try learning to say I’m sorry and mean it when you do
Stop telling so many slanderous lies to others
Then turn to God to make the right choices for you
When you live by lies only hate and distrust
Is what you will gain by your disgust
You’ll never make it in the professional scene
Once word is out and you’ll see what I mean
Keep talkin’ your smack to put other’s down
Someday you will learn when there’s nobody around
I’ve said all I can for now but there’s more
Cause nobody knows what God has in store!
I’ve added this verse just for you my old friend
Since you care so much to read and vent
YOU were a project to see how con men live
And what I share now is Time Well-Spent
I’m sorry I never could love you back
The way your imagination thought I should do
Someday with God’s help you will get back on track
Forgiveness is divine when you can find that part of YOU
Dedicated to: My little Camera friend in the KC area…..I will pray for you!!! May GOD help you.
About this piece—I hope my readers will learn something wonderful from it!
* Watch out for internet scams. There are too many out there and innocent people get their lives turned upside down. Find out everything about the person before you ever meet them. Make sure that your involvement with them doesn’t cost you the important things like family and friends. Material things don’t really matter in the end, and you never seem to get back everything that you have lost. But stay safe—no matter what it costs.
* If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn’t worth it. When people talk trash about you, those who are truly honest will get to know you before they pass a harsh judgment. You may hurt and go through living hell for awhile, but stay strong and ask God to help you. We learn by our mistakes, and sometimes they teach others too.
* True friends will always come back to you and stand beside you when things get tough. You will learn about those who really became your friend just to use you for something that might benefit them. Although you may shed many tears from living in a nightmare, you’re not alone. Look for support groups if you need to, or talk to a medical professional. You have to admit your mistakes before you can move on, even if they are just a simple mistake of caring about the wrong person.
* Always, watch your back. Get to know your surroundings, and if you have to keep some evidence with you for protection then do it. Alert the police if you are traveling somewhere that someone might want to hurt you. Ask for an escort if you need to, or don’t travel alone. Stay alert! Stay alive!
* When you receive threatening emails from other people who believe the lies then ask yourself what type of person they are and try to just ignore them too. They are all just useless people trying to pull you and your family apart because they have a “sickness” and they all need to “seek help from medical professionals”.
* Keep documentation of everything, and remember that even if you erase something from a computer; it can be found and traced. You will be caught if you continue doing wrong. The FBI, KBI, and other Law Enforcement people will back you. They are there to help and they want to catch the cons! Internet stalking is a crime, Internet threats are serious business.
LOOKING BACK….
Looking back at this experience helped me to know that there are many people who end up with sadness, threats, destruction, and more because of bad internet friendships. You may never get the truth out there to the world, so just keep believing in yourself and do the right thing. Stay honest. Live by the golden rule! Ask God to lead you and guard you and guide you.
For the people who opened their homes and their hearts to me, I will never forget how wonderful you were. I will always love you even if I never speak to you or see you again. Sometimes ties aren’t worth keeping but the great memories will always be there in spirit.
Don’t be so quick to trust someone. Find out if they have been completely honest with you. Sometimes goodbye really is your “second chance”!
********************************
If you are reading this article and the lengthy little poem but you also know a person who lives in a world of lies or fantasy dreams, then try to see some good in them. Learn this from the article! Don’t hate the weak, or the troubled minds for they need to get professional help.
I’ve been through vandalism, threats, thefts, and lots of terrible things in the past two years because these horrible people just won’t leave me alone. “Cease and desist” meant nothing to them, and I continually get threatening emails and comments to posts. I have been called the “jilted lover”, the “woman who is old”, the one who “should stay out of the Media world”, ” a certified crazy bitch”, “a girl gone mad” and even much worse by them and their followers.
But I think they forget the type of job I have to do every day and these words are just what they are…dirty words. They don’t have the affect on me that these predators would like them to have. I’m ready for whatever they want to dish out next! It will be more paperwork for the courts.
I know these sad and confused drama seekers don’t have a clue because they want to stick up for this individual and the “gang of cons” that they all are. Honesty is REAL! Keep it real, and learn the truth before you spew your spit and end up in court .
Don’t throw your pearls before swine. Don’t ever be ashamed to tell people the truth for you may be saving another person’s life.
I think the saddest thing is that you reach a point where you don’t care anymore what they say to you. Lately I’ve been threatened again to be “sued for telling the truth, writing about the truth and trying to warn people before there is another victim”, but as you can honestly see when you read this article that there are no names posted here, and the author is also unknown !!!!
This is the true story of a man who is very manipulative and unless you have been personally involved in a business or personal relationship with him; YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY KNOW WHO HE IS! Those who have come forward with their own stories are helping this case everyday. All I really want is to be able to do what I am doing without having to constantly look over my shoulder to protect my family and me as we continue to move forward doing what we love by helping others and spreading good words to bring comfort.
Eventually even their small group of followers will begin to notice when things are corrupt, and good people will not want to be dragged into a court battle because some man keeps trying to haunt and taunt. Most important, it takes years to build a solid case against a criminal but when you do they will have plenty of time to regret the things they have done.
The problem with all of them is that music, art, and entertainment is a “drive”. Vow to tell the truth no matter how much it hurts!
I pray for them in the hopes more lives won’t be destroyed because of their hateful and childish acts.
You see, I work where people have done wrong and they hit “rock bottom” after it’s too late. I have seen people saddened when they are alone because their family and friends have abandoned them. I have heard the cries of many. I bear my own pain in sadness, but I gain strength from my prayers.
I have found that doing right will pay off, and when you work with an honest competitor both businesses are extremely successful. It’s those that think they are better than others and have placed false judgment on good people that will fail in the end. You eventually learn to make something positive out of all the negative that you keep running into, and you know if anything ever happens the law will know right where to look first.
Each day, I pray for these people because somehow they need to reach deep into their hearts, minds, and souls and move on. My family and I are closer than ever now because of all the drama they brought into my life. We are more aware of who we trust and we do our research before getting involved. I hope that God blesses each and every one of my enemies and that they learn when to just give up and let me live my life with the man I love, my husband and best friend.
******************************************
Note: People will be amazed at how violent the internet can be when people use it for all the wrong reasons. Tell us your stories! Share the POSITIVE COMMENTS that will help others. If you come here to rant negatively with your hormones outta wack,; save it for court because it will be among the paperwork sent off already.
***********************
Lastly….camera friend, I don’t hate you! I hate what you do!
Because of you, the man I of my dreams and I share the most wonderful life of love where two hearts beat as one. I hope someday, you can ask for forgiveness and truly repent for what you have done to me and other women like me. There’s hope…..find GOD! Remember this to: Words really don’t mean a thing to me cause I know of what you are, and no matter what you do; you’ll never go very far! Change my friend! Tell the truth! Just BE HONEST!

Kansas City Photographer Creates Attention!
Posted by: | CommentsKansas City Photographer Creates Attention!
BANNED member of AFRESH ENTERTAINMENT Magazine staff!
William E. Parks (Willie) {Jr} – A Freelance photographer – BONNER SPRINGS KS
New fascinating true life articles, and the astonishing true life story coming soon!
Watch for the new biography novel to be released in 2011!
Story-line:
Recently a Kansas City photographer was on a radio talk show near Kansas City in a final attempt to degrade and terrorize innocent people to create attention for himself and the radio show; so we are posting this press release to accommodate his professional needs! Several telephone calls were also made to additional Afresh Entertainment Magazine staff members and close friends to try to cause an uprising for media professionals in Kansas. Admission of guilt for vandalism and theft events were also mentioned during this conversation from the “festival of thieves” as well as the names of the persons (suspects) directly involved with the terrible incidents Afresh Entertainment staff members and other attendees endured while covering a music event for mid-western Kansas. Negative statements were said, “I’ll deny everything even if you taped it.”
We will have more on this story as it develops further as well. Due to the events that took place shortly after the radio show, comments were left on social sites such as facebook, twitter, and other blogging sites. Ongoing bizarre events and phone calls have been happening since October 2009 and more recent thefts, threats, and vandalism have also taken place in areas of Kansas. Suspects have been turned over to investigators and other detectives as well as phone records, blog posts, social site posts, emails, etc. just this past month. Additional steps to protect innocent people have been put into place. Any tips or leads to catching these people will be greatly rewarded through the crime-stopper programs throughout Kansas.
It is saddening that a true friendship could have been a blessing, but the bridge has been destroyed beyond repair. Phone calls to reconcile differences were totally ignored due to the negativity it brought into the lives of others. As we believe that a positive attitude brings the best results, it is our hope someday others will realize the damage they are doing will only make things worse for them all in the long run.
The conversations concerning the Kansas City Entertainment awards for 2009 which were given out in May 2010 were also mentioned on the radio show. Several of Afresh Entertainment Magazine staff members attended the fine event; however the official rules of the contest were not followed by many of the award nominees as they did not show up to accept and/or acknowledge their own awards or make the prior arrangements for someone to accept them on their behalf.
In following the event further, the organizer of the wonderful event said, “Each year this will be better and bigger!” The major focus of the event was to give something back to not only the community of Kansas City but to those who work hard to help bring news and professional business ventures to the city. Those dedicated and devoted to the entertainment world of Kansas City are warmly welcomed to participate each year. To see photos of the award night watch the slide show below:
Willie Parks was named Photographer of the Year; however he did not show up to claim his KC Entertainment Award Trophy as the rules stated in the contest. Since we still regard him as a fairly good photographer; the trophy was accepted by a member of the Award event and the Afresh Entertainment Staff still made sure that he received his trophy to put on his wall of fame. Rules for the next year’s event will change somewhat to create a better contest for everyone who is nominated. We look forward to attending next year’s event.
In 2011 an exclusive novel will be released to the public with some shocking information about professional behavior and ethics of the media world; and some of the events that lead up to the crimes that happened to the innocent victims. It will be a must have for all libraries! Be sure to contact Afresh Entertainment Magazine to get your name on the list now for an autographed version once the novel is released.
*************************************************************
A very important message for social net-workers: (It’s always best to learn as much as you can possibly learn about someone before your friendship leads you into a world of destruction, terror, or worse from negativity!)
********************************************************************
EXPERT ADVICE: Please get to know the path you choose and who you choose to walk with you! Be sure to choose your true friends wisely. Get to know those they are freely talking about with a negative tongue before you pass harsh judgment on them or get yourself involved in malicious pranks that could cost you your family, friends, and your future; for you too, can become a victim if you do not do all your research first. You may be making the wrong decisions!
***********************************************************************
Ask yourself this:
- Does my family approve of how I act?
- How does my actions affect my children?
- Am I doing the “right thing”?
- Am I headed for self-destruction of the worst kind?
- Do I need to seek professional help before it is too late?
- Have I really ended a friendship over stupidity?
- Will I ever be able to tell the truth?
- How will others feel when they find out the real truth?
- Will I destroy my potential career because of bitterness & jealousy?
- Have I taken advantage of someone to the point that it hurt other family members?
- Did I attack someone’s child with my negative behavior?
- Have I looked at myself in the mirror lately and said I am proud of my accomplishments?
- Do I try to make things better for myself or do I look for an easy way out?
- Am I a financial burden on others?
- How do all of my family members really feel about my behavior?
- What am I really teaching my children to be when they grow up?
- What does the future hold for me if I don’t try to change?
- How many people have I really hurt?
- Can I be proud of my behavior when my grandchildren are growing up?
- Did I turn my back on others because of all my lies?
- How can I make things right again?
- Is there a chance to improve my behavior?
- How will my boss and co-workers feel if they knew the truth?
- What if ????
It’s never easy to tell the truth when the lies are so deep, but honesty is always the best policy if you want to keep a good reputation and make friends who will stand beside you when things are rough!

Posted by: | CommentsKansas City, MO – October 8, 2010 – The America’s Got Talent Live 24-city tour, a traveling re-creation of the #1 NBC TV show, kicked off in Oakland, CA on Oct. 1 and will be at The Midland By AMC in Kansas City on Friday, October 15.

Additionally, the incomparable Jerry Springer acts as host and MC.
Classical singer Jackie Evancho will be appearing at select tour dates, as her parents have determined that it is in the 10-year-old’s best interest not to overextend her tour performance responsibilities. Evancho will appear at upcoming tour stops in Minneapolis, MN; Milwaukee, WI; New York, NY; Richmond, VA; Boston, MA; Washington, D.C. and Greensboro, NC.
