Recycling

The plan to transplant these thoughts to words is absurd

How you transfer 30 years to 16 bars, 3 verses, and the word

This is my time to transform the world I see by being just me

I don’t think that this Sweetie could be my Sweet Tea simply

Because she has a pearl white teeth, nice smile and cute feet

In the end that means nothing to me and the things I achieve

She might forget about me when I’m in a dire need for reprieve

Can’t figure that these pains can change, rearrange all these stains

When I see success I know that I must refrain from being drained

My time is coming and I’m constantly learning that bridge burning

Is ok, if they aren’t on the same side of tracks where you’re learning

In the land of the brave that can’t stand all the flames

I know I should refrain from telling the truth about this reality

They think they own me since they put me on this salary

No dollar amount can amount this freedom that mounts

I been to the water and all I found was more thirsty people

Looking for someone else to tell them that they’re equal

The American mind state breeds more of the feeble

I am an entrepreneur who lived in an emotional repo

Spent two night in this Regal staring at the steeple

I dedicate this to the part of me that stays angry
The one that makes me wonder if I'm Mr. Hanky
This makes me feel like I'm behind bars (Rick Slick)
Hypochondriac thought that makes me so sick
I admit to all the bullshit I've done in the past
My ass don't seem to change before the minutes last
Me and moms stay in a constant clash
Struggling to keep my ass unabashed
Couldn't see that I create all these problems
Guess cause failures are becoming constant
My girl getting sick of my lack of consistency
Like I'm not consistently thinking selfishly
I thought I could be better than I use to be
But then I realize that change is only for me
Trying to make my life more constructive
My reasons are so subjective and destructive
What the fuck is this country gonna do when I get tired
Saints die at the hands of the national televised liars

Cry once in a while, it frees the soul of all the pain we pick up along the journey of life.

I Miss You

I didn't realize how much I miss some of the great people that were in my life. Over time, we moved apart and now that I am creating my new successes I wish I could share it with them. However, the Most High will always bring back together those people who are meant to be together again. So I exercise my patience, cause I am being prepared for something great.

Blessed to be me

LO

This weekend was so fulfilling. I had a former student call me to say, "I saved his life last week, because he was going to kill himself, but he didn't because he didn't want to disappoint me." I am thinking to myself "why the hell are you worried about what I think?" At that very moment, I realized that the Most High gave me the ability to change the lives of people I meet and I should be very mindful of my impact on this world. I am truly living God's will.

I AM BLESSED!

...is like Sports

Dwight Howard

I was recently talking to one of my friends about how dating is like sports and they found this philosophy to be very interesting. We were discussing how when you date someone it works similar to sports. (For the sake of conversation I'll use basketball to explain the analogies). First when you meet some you are putting them in training camp. Training camp consist of you asking a series of questions to determine their capabilities, acceptance of their teammates, and a physical/mental evaluation. You should always evaluate them because you want to know how they will play in your "system". If they're lucky enough to make it through training camp and you want to bring them into your team, you must draft them. Drafting gives them the ability to choose if they want to play for your squad. Some other teams will offer things such as recognition, money, and other amenities. Once they're involved you put them on a 10 day contract to still reconsider if you want to keep this player. (In 80% of my drafts, I drop players at this point) Now this is the part where you test them on their skills and abilities. You may go out and see if they offer to pay. You may ask them to find something to do, and rate their creativity. However you check out their skills, you do it your way. Now they have one of two options on your squad. You can bring them in and make them a starter (like most people do because they are excited by the newness). Now you have a young superstar who has not worked very much to get their position, so they may not appreciate the spot their placed in. My suggestion would be to put them on the bench. Even though you might be madly in love with their attributes and they may be the perfect person for you. You must still place them on the bench so that they appreciate every time they get playing time (or attention). While they are on the bench you spend some time developing the rest of the team. You may want to bring on some more young players. You may feel the need to reevaluate your veteran, who may have been declining for some time. Or you may simply just let time do its job...increase intrigue. Once you have brought this player into a position where they are gaining playing time, you must start out with a little bit of time. Walk them into the full schedule if that's what you are looking for. I choose to watch them play with their time allotted and see if they play harder to get more time or sit back and do nothing but waste time. As your team develops and grows you must make sure to never sacrifice your position as the General Manager, so that you can be on the same level as the player. If you are professional and good at your craft you can be an owner and recognized by all the great "players" of your time:) lol

Breaking the cycle

Justice Thomson

For a couple of years, I have become a cold-hearted person. Much of it is because I hide the pain of my experiences in the past and I choose not to make myself vulnerable in a world that seems to takes its enjoyment out of ruining the rest of the planet. I tried in the past to be a positive person, but how could you fix a problem that you choose to hide from the rest of the world. Therefore, I guess I will show my problem to the whole world in hopes that it could fix my situations. On November 24, 2003, his mother took my son from his daycare. She not only had taken him without my consent, but she decided to take him to another country. In some case dudes, neglect the fact of raising their children. However, I had not only raised my son...and when I say raised I mean that I had taken him to and from school every day. I spent every minute and dollar to provide a better lifestyle for him. At a point where I was dealing with several women, I developed a stable environment so that he could flourish in a beautiful human. Even though that is not what I wanted at the time. I decided, with no regrets, to put my life on hold so that I could create the best life for him and that was all snatched from me. When this occurred, I spent over 6 months using the "legal" system to “help” me. They did nothing but ridicule me for being a father that wanted to raise his child. The judges that I encountered neglected to see the urgency of my problem and even went as far as to allow her to leave the country even after they were notified that she had taken him unjustly. A deceitful and destructive woman snatched power and I felt I was given the only option I knew to escape the problem...sex, sex, sex. The same thing that led to the problem was the only escape that I could think of in this situation. I fucked until I could not...but what ended up happening is I harden up to relationships and feelings. I have met many of the greatest women a man could meet and couldn't feel anything because I was so hardened. There were even several occasions where women have cried their hearts out, and I stared at them as if they were nothing to me. Too cold to even acknowledge their tears. Not because I truly viewed them in a negative light, but the fact is that, I felt I could not be emotional, because I know the after effects of having emotions. I have even lost relationships to my cold heart. I want to change those qualities about myself, but it is hard when you have been hurt and enraged for sooooooooo long. I have prayed that I will find the peace that will heal my soul, because I cannot continue like this…

Alone

There are two types of people on this planet: Those who help you and those who hurt you. I have to reevaluate all my relationships cause some people made it in the back door unnoticed. It's time to choose who is here and who needs to go. If I don't choose...the MOST HIGH will...

Confidence

Crissy LaVoz

I have been recently explaining my trials and tribulations of living on Mother Earth. I feel that it is time to give back to the very spirits that come in contact with this. Here is a little explanation into why men do what we do. The first thing that attracts me to any woman is CONFIDENCE. You can be very confident in yourself and not an asshole, which I have been at times myself. I enjoy the intrigue that comes when I watch you walk around the room. Noticing you, but never giving you all the attention. Just waiting for that eye contact to let you know "come here:)" That raw sex appeal is the most noticeable attribute you can have in any setting. When I find myself in the eye of the public I know that it is simply about acting "in the know." That means act as if you know what you are talking about...period. Ladies it's that simple. Always enjoy your experiences:) boomp3.com

Man, I miss this message on my wrist. For 3 years, I remembered that this was the reason I'm here on this planet. Thank you Lance Armstrong for creating a message that the world could follow.

Model: Kristin Kelli

Last night I failed at my 30 day goal. Got lost in the moment and felt I had to own it, now I stand here listening to the omen. Sadly, I'm not sad that I didn't reach the goal completely. I learned a valuable lesson in this experience. I can have self control if I choose. I have taken this experience to push myself in other areas. (i.e. exercise, meditation, and focus). I loved all the people who were supportive of my push to be better. Old Struggles end...new ones begin

The beautiful Coretta Scott King

Caught a jewel today...
In a conversation with one of my closest friends, she explains to me that "all people want in their lives is to be loved and accepted." I pondered on that expression cause I am sitting here feeling disconnected from love and acceptance. Lately my attitude has been damn near erratic at times. One minute I want to be around someone, the next minute I could live on a destitute island with my IPod. I thought about the last time I felt love. I have to say it was when my son (which few people know the story about) was in my arms. I remember the last day I saw his eyes and kissed his face. The smile it brought when I held his perfect hands and laughed at his endless smile. When days were rough he was my peace and justice in a world of the insane. However, his moms decided to take him and run off into the dark. (I love how the legal system of America will take the mother's perspective regardless if it doesn't fit her character.) Since then I feel there is no need to love right now. Instead if I take the Jay Z philosophy of "keeping my both of my heads where they are suppose to be" then I will be "ok". So at this time, I take in the fact that anyone could do anything at anytime...and work til I find my justice and peace.

New Morning

Today is the first day of my journey. Will I face my failures and make them my strengths or will I surcome to my weaknesses? Today, I worked hard on my studies, fitness, and understanding. I even chilled with (add a name) today. No mistakes or forced running, but time will come for challenges. I have to admit that I have increasingly begun to think about the past things I have done and how I could better those situations. I will attempt to write to those that I have touched and can’t remember. She remembers experiencing me, and I can’t even remember her name. What does that reflect in the person I am….excuse me…was.

Anonymous Woman

I have played in your garden, and smelled your flowers

Ate one or two to sense parts of your feminine powers

Tasting, touching and feeling your soul as I devour

Running back to my castle of trust as a coward

Sharing little of myself in the experience

But using you to enhance the trance during this dance

Can you remember those moments?

Can you enter this omen and understand that no man

Should touch your hand without being a part of your plan

And I stand here, after I have had some of the best ones

Added them together and came up with a sum of none

Because at the end, they were all gone.
