Who is Tracy??? well… some call him Tre, Trace, Tracie… hell I’ve even been called Tracey and/or Stacy… and if you caught the latter of the last two… it is mostly related to a female spelling… lol what’s funny about that though… is not the spelling but the reaction I get when someone speaks to me for the first time over the phone. When it’s a man on the other end of the line he’ll always try to make his voice deeper than mien when he hears ME for the first time. Sure he thought I was a woman/girl but… it all changes as soon as I say “HELLO” hard to spell that with the “bass” in my voice by the way. lol conversely it’s even more amusing when it’s a women, typical a black woman, because you can hear the change in her voice when she ask to speak to Tracey expecting that it will be a woman that she’s gonna have to deal wit!!! Then she hears my voice and the attitude changes and her voice drops to a low soft tone and starts to sound all sexy. Lmao it’s even funnier in person… I tell you no lie… I get a kick when they see this BBB, big black bald man… some say he’s a teddy bear, others call him a pit-bull… depending on the day I could be both… lol however for the most part I feel “a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinions still” so I gots to live my life… you feel me? I’ve just stop trying to explain it, not the spelling of my name but who I am… its simple to me at least and the people that know me… I’m just ME. Really it’s my family… familia and friends… mi amigos’… had to translate there to show Big Love for my Latin Familia the Velez and Bosto Clans… from family I have been given love, knowledge and respect with no conditions and I give them nothing less in return… Lord knows we have been though a lot over the last 6 years or more, haven’t we… the ones we have lost are not remembered by their actions but by the love we carry for them in our hearts. To me… Family and friends are only 2nd to GOD… and Oh Yes… don’t get it twisted “the force is stronnng with this one” I keeps the faith… I don’t believe in the devil, however… we all have to live within our own hell, it is of our own actions and no short of our own Free Will that we live the lives we lead and act the way that we do and we don’t need to use some scapegoat to refer to, when we f-up in this world… man up!!! and stop blaming shit on the devil… you know how black fok always wont to blame shit on the devil knowing they created their own hell… matter of fact it’s not just black fok huh??? Some of you fok need to stop front’n, oops the devil made me “wright” that… sorry that might be too must for some fok!!! Chkle ;-0 I roll like this… my friends receive nothing less than my trust and faith, and the fools who wonder, trust is given because, I don’t “know you” and faith, believes that I can. My loyalty is faith and trust given with respect and you should expect anything less from a man… I can’t say I’ve received that from every person that I’ve met in my life… and I aint mad at cha… I just aint yo friend… sorry… that’s ok right??? Not like there needs to be any drama behind that… true??? My world and your world need not a-line for us to live on this planet. Your happiness is not dependent on what I think or say about you so, what I’m trying to say is, well without being rude… I don’t give a happy camper (the f word would have been better but my sons may read this) what you think… and you would never have to worry about be talking behind your back because once I’m done, I’m done and it’s nothing personal it just business… and I believe in a drama free business that’s all. And I really don’t understand some woman friends, “going out on a limb, sliding me numbers when you aint watching them, playing me close but I’m not feeling them” wanna cause a brotha drama, but again I aint made at cha… we’re just not friends… by the way is there a problem with the understanding of friend or is it just me??? If you’re not a friend than you are an acquaintance and by definition someone… one knows of casually and of no personal knowledge a stranger… so you may fall somewhere in there… lol Man what drives a brotha like me… well it can’t be explained again you would have to know me… I simply love FOOTBALL… what can I tell you??? I’ve played the game on every level and without bragging I was dam good… but the choices I made and body failed me, but I don’t feel sorry, because I’ve been Blessed to serve the game as a coach and my dreams are being fulfilled by giving back to the game, and the boys and man that play it. Which leads me to mention that I am a Big Cowboys fan… hell it was said that when I was born, the doctors were amazed when the first breath that I took was to say “how bout dem Cowboys” I don’t care what people say when it comes to the Boys, bring it on, while you’re stab’n your team in the back, or if you have more than one team that you follow because you have no faith or you just can’t handle the good with the bad... hate is what you’ll do when you talk about the team, because you can’t stand the numbers and the number don’t lie… oops… numbers are facts… absolutes… that’s what made us Americas Team… live wit it or win the big one Five times… shut-up steeler fans… what have you done lately… ;-) but much respect… still hate the team… booooo…. Give alitte of that to “smealge” fans and “Haskins” fans too, boooo, boooo, lmao ;-0 What else can I share, ahh the jamz… someone help me bring back the oldies, where has the sweet sounds of Barry, Anita, Marvin, and Sam… hell I was born by the river, in a little tent and ooh like the river I’ve been run’n ever since, it’s been a long time com’n but I know, Change is gonna come… ooh yes it will…. and can someone tell me if there’s any “future in yo front’n” let me just say I’m not fraid ta thro my “manpanties” on the stage fo sum Prince and Ms Gladys… fo real… Hey SIS… remember back n the day… DJ Fresh… yeah that was the fo real shit back then, think about it, the people we hung out wit back in the day, which leads me to a big props to my HS and the Might MUSTANGS, the memories of the Drum Core… just rock’n the HELL outa the halls of John Muir, and nothing was better than DJ’n the M-Quad man, that was FRESH… remember??? And if I remember correctly we did blair too when you got there, it’s ok it’s our little secret that you went to blair for a min??? Cus I’m sure I would have to fess up and admit we did PHS too then… but thats ok cus when I play’d there I mixed a nice track, ‘you could ring my bell, with some, LL rocks the bells” feel me… hey you remember, my “baby black blazer” yeah that was it, “I gotta baby black blazer wit bump’n sound, eight n half daytons sitt’n low to the ground…” we had sumth’n… then there was the Pinto… now for some that would be followed by a list of really funning boom jokes, but If you didn’t know the car was capable of blowing up if hit from the rear, Ford did recall and replace all 74 model gas tanks for free. But we are talking about a ride that set the bar for show cars back in the day, it wasn’t like the Nissan and Chevy’s everyone had… but let me digress and just explain… it was a 74 Ford Pinto, painted bright Cannery Yellow, mixed with a touch of candy, at the time it was sit’n a set of 19” 8.5 BBS and BFGoodrich’s Comp TA’s 225’s the lowest profile tire you could get for that size rim and keep that nice tucked look, and the car was dropped way below legal one of the things I wish I could have replaced with a air ride system, but it was so expensive then… it was also rapped with a custom body kit taken from a mustang gt. Wit good help from friends and the butler family the engine was tight but I never really got what I wanted done under the hood completely, but the suspension, brakes and interior were custom, mustang disks and calipers, mustang rear, custom exhaust, sway bars and the works… the windows tinted limo black, and the inside was sweet, reccaro Toyota seats, front and back, white face dash with custom gauges, lighted floors, black and gray. But let’s not forget the beast in the truck, yo Kenny, you remember that crazy setup, 4 12’s in the truck, I had a cop stop me one time and open the truck I thought I was going to jails by the look on his face, when he made me turn them on, he gave me a ticket. lmao my home girl told me she could hear it coming 2 mil away. The only thing we hadn’t done was video back in the day, but that’s played out anyway… how you gonna watch screens in the back, when you the only one in the ride??? Memories, of the way we were… huh but I thank God for it every day for the people I’ve met and share that time with… man with all that… you’ve also learned that I love cars… just a little, maybe a lot… working with my hands mainly… man where was real tv then huh… But I have some many likes and wants, not needs there is a difference (the Lord got that) if you get me… I wait to travel this world, I grow tired of the Discovery Channel, the question is not where, “how many stars are there in the galaxy, has anyone visited them all” “ well I’m gonna be the first to visit them all”… slow down young Luc. But first I must attend all sixteen or eighteen games of a Cowboy season including all post season games, yes the SuperBowl too??? That’s one of my Bucket List items, then there’s the goal to Coach a Texas High School team to a championship on a Friday night in front of a packed stadium. my responsibilities are to see that my sons are prepared for what his world has to give and ready to be strong and fight for what they believe and enjoy doing. My dreams for this family, I can’t wait for the family reunion… look people we need to stop play’n and do this, our parents I’m sure are disappointment we haven’t made this move… But Those are just some of the thangs I can tell you about me and from that you would discern that I am who I am… my Mother and Father Son, a brother, uncle, cousin, father and a friend. Peace
