“Failure is just a step in the right direction to succeed”
You may have seen this before, but we, SHADESOFREDD, thought it would be a good idea to keep pushing people forward towards their own goals. With every accomplishment is 100 failures, but we learn from our mistakes, and keep moving forward. Failure is just a step in the right direction to succeed. NIKE made a commercial with the legendary Michael Jordan, we found the clip to be very inspirational, so we would like to pass it on. Keep living, keep moving, and always fight the good fight to make your dreams your reality.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers???
Everybody has their own opinions about animals, people, and even specific animals like Staffordshire Bull Terriers…aka Pitbulls. They are classified as aggressive, dangerous, and harmful. Well at least thats what the papers, the radio, and the television like to portray. There has been cases of dogs attacks, especially here in miami, but the news and media tell you what they want, to create an interesting and dramatic story to polute the minds of all the viewers. These dogs you hear about in the news, are also the victim animals that have been mistreated, neglected, not trained properly, and even abused. I’m a god father of an amazing dog named Aera, (The SHADESOFREDD mascot and lady of the head quarters), and I speak out to tell you different.
Above is a picture of Aera, The SHADESOFREDD mascot! and here’s another…
Hmmm, far from harmful. Just because there are a couple cases of viscious pitbulls, doesn’t make all and every Staffordshire Bull terrier a bad and aggressive dog. It’s just another stereotype and false information that the media likes to corrupt peoples minds with. I only speak this to stand up for whats right, and speak truth, believe what you want, but SHADESOFREDD will speak out and say that not all Pitbulls are bad, and if your raise them right, just like they were your own child, they will grow to be loyal, playful, loving, great dogs. SHADESOFREDD isn’t the only team who thinks this, heres some other witnesses that experienced pitbull love!
Happy Birthday REDD!!!
