This is our last goodnight, must I dream now just to see your face? Why can't we overcome this boredom? Maybe it's just because I don't know you at all. Kiss me, please kiss me!

Take pride in all the things you have achieved in life, and don't you look down on yourself. The way of the world, so cold, I know. You have a right to live and fight. But that doesn't mean when times get hard, you should just up and walk away. Reality is here to stay. Don't throw your life away. We live in a world full of promise. The sun shines down upon us.

Diddy. The whole B.I.G. family, reminds me of you. We miss you SO much, I love you SO much. Never thought life without you would be so rough, but I know we're gonna make it. We ain't happy, but we fake it. And to New York...thanks for the support. And all our real fans I'm shoutin' out to hold down. This is something young kids just won't understand, how you took away this beautiful man. We share so many memories, I could go ON and ON, but a song can only be so long. It's been hard...but I told God...that I'd put up a fight, so here's a long kiss goodnight. (Don't you give up, be strong. Hold on, hold on. Things are gonna get better.

442. "But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go. And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away. I've looked at love from both sides now, from give and take, and still somehow it's love's illusions I recall. I really don't know love at all. Tears and fears and feelig proud, to say "I love you" right out loud. Dreams and schemes and circus crowds. I've looked at life that way. But now my friends are acting strange. They shake their heads, they say I've changed. Well something's lost, but something's gained in living ev'ry day. I've looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose and still somehow it's life's illusions that I recall. I really don't know life at all." -Joni Mitchell

Some say you ain't answer back correctly, what the fuck is that about?" As I sipped on some Henny, I tried to explain some things, about the life of a legend and all the drama it brings. I've been gone a long time, had a lot of shit on my mind. I decided I didn't want to reach my goal if it means losing my shine. The streets is hip hop, and I'M hip hop, so the streets is mine!

To singers with no skills, singers with no shoes, singers in bathtubs, is that how you pay dues? The music industry has gotten outta control. Sell a few records then you're out the back door.

Mad at me because I can finally afford to provide my family with groceries. Got a crib and a studio and it's all full of tracks, to add to the wall full of plaques hanging up in the office in back of my house like trophies. Did y'all think I was gonna let my dough freeze? Ho, please! You better bow down on BOTH knees! Who you think taught you to smoke trees? Who you think brought you the oldies? Eazy-E's, Ice Cube's, and D.O.C.'s, the Snoop D-O-G-G's, and the group that said Mother 'FUCK The Police'??? Gave you a tape full of dope beats to bump when you stroll through in your hood.

Then I step on stage and...crowd is in a RAGE and...I make the front page and...my mission's complete. But when I step off the stage, it's back to reality. Problems still the same and life's a fucking tragedy. Thoughts still the same and I still dream of dying and taking some hard shit to make me feel I'm flying. I wish I was told I would carry this load! In this COLD fucking world! I wanna FUCKING explode! I guess it's time for me to 'depart', I know it sounds strange, but I served my purpose and I made my mark. (Darling, all dreams...ain't always what they seem.

Fuck you too!" -Unknown

501. "Spend most your life pretending not to be the one you are, but who you choose to see. Learned to survive in your ficticious world. Does what they think of you determine your worth? If special's what you feel when you're with them, taken away, you feel less than again. That's right, you gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean! Tryin' to please everyone!

504. "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

506. "God dammit! An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars. Advertising has its tastes in cars and clothes, working jobs we HATE to buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose, no place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.

We're slowly learning this fact...and we're very, very pissed off." -"Fight Club"

510. "Treated me kind, sweet destiny. Carried me through desperation to the one that was waiting for me. It took so long, still I believed, somehow the one that I needed would find me eventually. I had a vision of love, and it was all that you've given to me. Prayed throught the nights, felt so alone. Suffered from alienation. Carried the weight on my arms. Had to be strong, so I believed. And now I know I've succeeded in finding the place I conceived. I had a vision of love, and it was all that you've given to me." -Mariah Carey

511. "I used to sit and wonder would I ever be happy. Life was so bittersweet. So many disappointments. Too many ups and downs for me. When you live a nightmare, it's hard to dream.

The way you stay the very same. Life forever pass it on, won't you tell your friends? To keep running to the future while running from the end." -Cree Summer

Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.

Remember, everyone needs a friend, someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, just remember this e-mail and take comfort in knowing somebody out there cares about you and always will." -Email Chain
