Diddy is out to do something good and charitable this holiday season. He and his vodka brand, Ciroc, have partnered with NYC DOT and E! Entertainment to stop drunk driving.
For three years in a row, the partnership has distributed 2,000 pre-paid debit cards at high traffic locations in the city that are good for $25 worth of travel in the city’s taxicabs, car services, subways, PATH trains and New Jersey transit through the first of the year.
“As the ‘Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve’ Ciroc has made a huge impact over the last two years by helping New York get home safely, so I’m proud to announce that we’re bringing the program back in an even bigger way,” said Diddy. “New York is the world’s most iconic holiday destination, so I’m excited to lead by example to demonstrate that a smooth, sophisticated holiday season doesn’t end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely.”
A great way to save lives and make the holidays safe, the cards will be distributed throughout New York City on Dec. 11, 17, and 31. Click here or follow “YoutheManNYC” on Twitter to find out when and where.
Then a woman said, speak to us of joy and
sorrow.
And he answered:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the
selfsame well from which your laughter rises
was oftimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,
the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup
that holds your wine the very cup that was
burned in the potters oven? And is not the lute
that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was
hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart
and you shall find it is only that which has given
you sorrow that is giving you joy.
And when you are sorrowful look again in your
heart, and you shall see that in truth you are
weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,”
and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone
with you at your board, remember that the other
is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between
your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are
empty are you at a standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh
his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or
your sorrow rise or fall…………..
BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.
‘And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber – give me a clue.’
‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
JUDGE NOT!!
Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST…
Every sinner has a FUTURE!

Just when you thought it was safe to go to Idaho again, right? Well, the guy that orchestrated this one figured he was making a positive statement on behalf of the Aryan nation.
Unfortunately for the poor “white separatist”, his neighbors were not having Mr. Hitler snowman on the front lawn representing their community. He was made to shut it down.
