Hey,this is Mr. Soprano. Ya'll know me as your friendly custodian.
I suppose I should tell you a little about myself. Many years ago (way before they had cell phones) I worked as a production manager at a company called Eastman Kodak, this was in Rochester, NY. After working there for about fifteen years I left and opened a restaurant in the same city for around ten years. Thirteen years ago we moved to Raleigh where I worked as a personal chef for four years and then retired to become a stay-at-home-grandpa. For a couple of years just before I came to HMS I was the chef in a downtown Raleigh restaurant.
I have three children, two girls and a boy. My youngest is 33, that would be my son, and my oldest daughter is 37 and my middle daughter is 35 years old. I have four grandchildren, from the ages of 2 years old to 15 years old.
Now here I am working at HMS and loving it.
I started this website to give you some fun things to see and think about. I would love for you to ask questions of me (in confidence of course). Or just tell me what you wish.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my site!
You can at any time sign into my guest book at the bottom of the page and ask any question on any page. Come on try it.
Mr. Soprano
Below is a song by The Black Eyed Peas. This is just some of the info you might find within my site. I would put this song under "Thoughts to Ponder" in hopes you will read the lyrics and think of their meaning and the message being sent. How do these words affect you? Is this something you might want to share; with a friend, brother or sister, perhaps your parent.
My thoughts? This song sends a very clear message. Can you see this message? Write and let me know your thoughts about this.
Were is the Love?
Black Eyed Peas
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like ain't got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)
