	alaka’i Zephanii Smith	haha.. aww man I can't believe I missed your bday this year. Happy belated. What a great speech lol. I just want to thank you for affording many of us the opportunity to "know and grow" with you in this cyber space. It feels great. I mean.. I don't hear Eric Benet much in my generation... but when your name comes up I make references and just feel like.. I guess a true fan. I can't wait to see what becomes of Indy.. she's more like my generation so maybe it'll be like.. Natalie Cole and her dad type of thing.. hhaaha do you like that idea EB? Anyways, I think we became friends back in the day when I was like.. a freshmen in High School and you had like.. not a lot of friends so you would actually comment my page and respond to messages... it was great. Troylynn would be like "hey little one!" in the chatrooms.. good times. Now I'm like.. a freshmen in college.. living on my own in So. Cal and I've done some major things with my life so far.. the best is yet to come... stay tuned, I'm excited. Maybe I'll see you somewhere/someday on my way to the top. Stay down to earth, we like you down here. :-D I pray for your good health and success in all that you are doing. May God bless you with many more years of service to your family and fan-family.

	Angelface	Happy belated birthday Eric! I received great joy reading your blog - I'm still tickled at "The Wiz" song reference :o) The song's still in my head - LOL Now I've got to watch the video that's in my library. Ahhh memories... You are blessed, and it's good to know that someone such as yourself enjoys and doesn't take for granted the little things that make life that much more richer just like me - (love, family, true friends, health, and peace). By the way, I've been wearing out your new cd like there's no tomorrow - LOL. I especially hit the repeat button on the harmony part of "imnluvwichoo" - the part that says, ..."girl the fire starts to rise each time I look into your eyes, and the river starts to flow, I can't control it. And the truth I can't deny no matter how I try to hide... I'm n luv wit'choo!" I go crazy over that part - the harmony gives me goosebumps, the hairs on my arms stand on end, I get butterflies - the works! I just have to hear that part again! I'm sorry, I just love it when an artist appreciates the true use of the notes the way you do, you know? And I love "Sing to me." Very beautiful song.... I play that repeatedly at least four times before moving on :o) Just wanted to mention that little tid bit of information....Have a great night!!!!   Posted by Angelface on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 9:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Danielle Danielle M	I am so glad that your birthday was such a blessed one for you. I agree with Sass, and thank God and your parents. You are so blessed becuase you give out blessings to everyone around you. The Bible says that you reap what you sow. People always think that in the negative, but it works in the positve, too. You are an example of that. Your child is loving because 1) It's in your DNA that you have passed onto her. 2) You have taught her to be that way. Nature & nurture. I saw the debate, too. McCain was more lively, but it was too little too late. Maybe before you tour abroad in 2009, you can come here to D.C. and do a show during President Obama's Inauguration. =) The Kyte videos are hilarious. I love them! Keep them coming. Take care, Hon.
