"Never Under Estimate the Predictability of Stupidity"
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." - Ezekiel 25:17
"You know some famous guy once said 'To travel is better than to arrive' and I was like 'what??' because I used to think there was only one path to take to get to where you wanna be in life but if you choose that one path, doesn't mean you have to abandon all the other ones. I realized that, it's actually what happens along the way that counts. The tumbles,
you know, the falls, and the friendships. It's the journey, not the destination. You just gotta, i guess, trust that the future will work itself out like it's supposed to."
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the dark...Expand for more
ness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."".

✔ verified official ®
Growing up in the 1970's, Charlie Rivera was constantly musically influenced by his father's collection of Motown records and just about every single Elvis Presley album along with the sounds of his mother singing in Spanish around the house all day long.
In the mid to late 1980's Charlie began promoting for NYC clubs such as The Tunnel, The Underground and The Palladium. Working at The Antique Boutique, hanging out by Unique's on Broadway and getting hair cuts in Astor Place, Manhattan quickly became a second home.
He then began Event Promotions and Afterwork Parties via his company Adeon Productions for most of the 1990's alongside many other great promoters and dj's which included venues such as the Copacabana, China Club / Jade Terrace, LQ's, The World and various boat rides that spanned almost 10 years.
From carrying milk crates of records to sleeping on the couch in the recording studio til 4 in the morning, music like Salsa, Freestyle, Hip Hop and R&B has always been a major influence and a driving factor in Charlie's life from working on beats, to singing background vocals, all which have fine tuned his ear in this industry.
