Here are my re-posts of Bulletins One, Two and Three for Season One:

Re-post of Empire Bulletin One:

Attention, Attention

- The Empire snack bar closes 15 minutes before show time. Please get your snacks before then 'cause the snack bar crew will be heading to the back room to watch Empire, and ain't none of them coming out to serve nobody after closing.

- For those who experience shortness of breath due to show content, oxygen masks are hanging near the restrooms.

- For those who experience heart thumping during heightened scenes in the show, please dial 1-800-Empire EMT.

- Please turn your cell phones on vibrate during the show. Don't nobody want to hear your damn ring tones during show time.

- Please don't bring BeBe's kids to the Empire viewing.

- Bag checks will be done by Debo's partner, June Bug. So please don't think you're gonna sneak snacks in. Prices are reasonable in consideration of our current economy.

Violators of the above will be escorted out by Debo, and he don't play.

Further the violation penalty includes that you won't be able to watch the next episode of Empire. And if you get smart about the first penalty phase, you'll be deprived of another episode of Empire.

There is no appeal process.

Thank you. Enjoy the show.

Re-post of Empire Bulletin Two:

Fresh off the Press Release:

Debo's PR people contacted my PR people.

What had happened was -- last week on the west coast, Pookie and 'em brought BeBe's kids to the Empire showing.

Debo escorted them out. Pookie's side piece, Daneka, went into cardiac arrest 'cause she knew that her penalty was to miss an episode of Empire.

Please, people, don't bring BeBe's kids to Empire. Debo WILL enforce the rules.

Thank you. Enjoy the show.

Re-post of Empire Bulletin Three:

Latecomers to the Empire Viewing:

Please don't come in late AND loud. Also, don't be giving shout outs to peeps, dapping your homies, and giving high fives and shit. Sit your late asses down somewhere, and plan better so you won't be tardy next time for the Empire viewing.

Thank you. Enjoy the show.

Empire Bulletin Four for Season Two

Hi -

These bulletins are posted in my Facebook group, "Empire TV Show Thoroughbreds."  Here's the link:

We’ve seen and heard of the “Go Fund Me” site where donations are sent to help others.  Well, folks we have about two more weeks before Empire Season Two airs.  Lucious is in jail and I’m starting a “Go Fund Lucious” campaign.  Please send your donations to #FreeBossLucious.  It’s my hope that if enough donations pour in, Lucious can appear as a free man on the first episode of Season 2.

Plan B -- If we can’t spring Lucious, a chartered bus trip is planned so that we can visit him until other circumstances get his ass out of the jail house.  The chartered bus reservations can be made at the last minute.  Please make reservations with a deposit to hold your seats.  If Lucious is freed before bus plans, you shall receive your deposit back in your accounts.  Send to: Bus Ride to Free Boss Lucious. #BossBustingOutProductions. #Ifeellikebustingloose

Thank you

P.S.  No checks please #ainttakingcheckchances  

This is serious bizness, Empire Thoroughbreds -- so don’t be laughing, y’all.

P.S.S. Kawana, on Facebook, commented that she'd only go see Lucious if she's allowed conjugal visits with him.

My response: 

Cookie will do more time if you even attempt to do conjugal visits, . . . with Lucious.

"Sizemology of Penis Science"

Hi -

I posted the following on my Facebook page yesterday:

Okay, I've got to speak out now because today I saw one too many jokes about a man with a small penis.
Dammit, the size isn't the issue. There are men with big ones who don't make love worth a damn. And men with small ones who can rock "worlds." So it ain't the size -- it's the skill levels.

Shout out to the men who LOVINGLY, PASSIONATELY, EXPERTLY and WISELY know what to do with their "johnsons" -- WHATEVER the sizes.

P.S. Particularly, this is dedicated to the "small one" who EXPLOSIVELY altered my belief system about the "sizemology of penis science." Yep, little willie working with some champion level, thoroughbred motor skills. Stroked to heights of ecstasy -- consisently.

Okay, imma chill now.

Gain from Rejection

Photo - copyright 2014 - S. Hicks

Hi -

All rejection isn't a minus -- some rejections are sure in the plus columns.

We can certainly gain from rejections.  Key is why we're being rejected.  If we're wrong -- than of course, we should amend our positions and opt for correct actions.  

If we're right, we should be pleased to benefit from rejections.  Yes, we learn from them and certainly our gains multiply where it REALLY matters . . .

###

Acceptance is a joy and pleasure when the vital pieces are in order . . .  It isn't reasonable to choose acceptance above what is loving, honest, sensible, and wise.  Steadfastly DOING truth gains the best rewards! 

Messages of Strength

Hi -

- One Size Doesn't Fit All

One MAIN question is -- how do we respond to the inevitable land mines in our lives?  How do we play the hands that are dealt us?  The good news is that there are aces in every deck.  But we know that the jokers run wild.  Go for the aces; play those babies with all the gusto that you know how to muster.

  - Public Displays 

What's up with the numerous photos that women post with their behinds poked out in suggestive and provocative poses?  Ain't it a trip that more than a few of those behinds are fake booties that have been artificially enhanced -- sometimes to disproportionate sizes?  The blow-up backsides sure get attention; the issue is the TYPE of attention that they draw.  Why on earth do those women believe that such is authentically attractive?  On the real, it's NOT positive.

- Strong Holds of Ignorance 
 
How many times have we been prisoners of our perceptions?  How many times have we "dug in our heels" and refused to budge from our "solid" stands?  And how many times have we been wrong?
