Thomas Bess Jr....It's Your Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Thomas!!!! Well, my younger brother is just a little older today. I felt that an appropriate way to celebrate his birth is to honor him by featuring his artistry. It's different, huh? *Laughing* Yeah, I love it too. He's a writer, poet, painter, spoken word artist, son, and brother to many. I am in awe of his dedication and concentration when it comes to his craft. He is an inspiration to me. I love you, Thomas!
By the way, check out Thomas's latest cd, on CD Baby: ACTION THEORY: Action Theory. He also has a spot at: www.myspace.com/thomasbessjr.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY!!!
I must admit I'm not very fond of his work, but maybe with maturity I could come to appreciate it.
Happy birthday! And cool words/art!!!
And: is that picture in DC or Atlanta? The architecture suggests Rio or New Orleans.
How cool is it that your brother's b'day is the day before mine. He must be a GREAT person. ;)

In Sesotho we would say, "U hole u be u khokhobe!"
Or, may you age on till your back is bent!
Happy Birthday, Thomas!
PS.
Stephen, I'm a bit out of it these days, so I'm not surfing as much. In the middle of performance reviews for my staff--which is a pain, but necessary if I want to eat.
Blessings,
Geoffrey
