I'm leaving on a jet plane...

This is the theme song for my journey to the next phase...

Hard Times Inc.

This song is my guiding light on rough days...had to share.

Inspiration...

I found some...here it is

Translated lyrics:
Well, Flaco,
The Flaco but my first name is Jacin Andante
The surname pay

Listen
I am a witness
The beautiful, clear distinct danger that is the truth
Street people
Farms and centers

City not better quality, more bad
War and life, love and change
Guardian food

Gun, prayers for them,
Ladies and gentlemen
Family, parenting
The light in the distance

And I said so
It is closest
My, my home, my dreams, my soul

I know your sorry-hug
And your touch
Well my thing
Clear
Amen

Sure, sure, sure that if
There is nothing more
There is nothing more
End
There is nothing more

Sure, sure, sure that if

There is nothing more
And there is nothing more
End
There is nothing more
Sure, sure, sure, yes.

I am writing this blog because it is my opportunity to share my life and thoughts with the world without the filter of everyone else. I say that sarcastically because I have let some of the closest people I know into the fact that I am writing this blog. Many of them do not say a word about what they read but some of them ask questions about why did I write that post or choose that song. I try my hardest to keep the blog on the blog, but I have found recently that I have gotten away from talking more so about where I am, and more about where I want to be. Although I think both are very important I feel the need to share my present reality with the world. A couple of post ago I wrote my new year’s resolutions and one of them is to have a monogamous relationship.

Now I am not in a relationship but I am talking and getting to know my ex-girlfriend, who I was not honest with in the past, again to see how we feel together. That situation is growing and developing every day, but there have seem to be some people that I have left who I feel are just as loyal and loving. Now I know that my girlfriend is trusting, loving and loyal. However, the challenge of being with one woman is hard. It is even harder because she lives over 500 miles away from me, and I am not trying to deal with multiple women. Over the last couple of years, I had dealt with as many women as Wilt in his high school years, but I have always felt a level of emptiness when I was dealing with multiple people. I cannot say that every night lying alone in my bed looking at my sealing feels great, but spending time alone and facing one of my greatest fears (loneliness) is making me into something else. I am struggling to get to that good place, but does greatness ever come easy…More to come.

Remember that everyday is the day that you can start over. I feel so great that I can grow and develop every day forward. Today is the beginning of the rest of my life. That's why life is so great!

Lessons Learned

Today as I walk around proudly with my Obama shirt on I remember all the unsightly things done to my people. I am contemplating "our" commitment to this changing world. I know now that we must put forth the same expectations that we have set on our new BLACK president. If you say "you are a proud American" ask yourself "What do you offer to America?" What do you contribute to the world that you live in? If we want change, we must be indebted to that CHANGE.
