“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” — Teddy Roosevelt
I was overcome by emotion from all of the love and support shown my way today. I thank you all so much for the huge turnout! There isn’t a single person here at F3 Richmond that hasn’t made a difference in my life. It was an honor to enter the arena with you all today; I apologize for not doing it sooner. I am Bone Thugs, and I will see you at the crossroads.

You have inspired us with your sticktoitiveness.
Well done, Bone Thugs! You have inspired me in the last several months to make myself better. I can’t wait to post at one of your future Q’s which will be in honor of the hit single “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”
