Thank You



Some days you just need to hear that perfect song with the perfect beat...thank you for sending me this blessing. Here are the lyrics so that you can read and listen to the song. Peace

Raphael Saadiq- Different Times ft. T-Boz
I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times
But everyday i count my blessings this way 'cuz I know that everyday's a different day. My friends can change but his will never change.
And i knew there would be some time, when I would second guess my mind.

So I kept on walking, kept on striving,
kept on singing and guess who showed up.

As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one,' As long as I, that's why I always try and do my best to search inside.
But I knew there would be a day, when I had to look the other way.

So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

I told myself one day to fall on my knees and pray
and never listen to no one if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material love
His money, no money no money, can make me happy.
Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cuz I'm using my eyes.

I close my eyes and... Kept on pushing,
I just stopped looking and guess who showed up.

(Bridge)
My friend won't let you down, He's always been around.
That's one thing I know for sure. Even when I'm wrong, he's right at my door.
He'll never ignore.

Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I cant say them in all one day.
I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me
Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be.
When I thought it couldn't get no better, just when I thought it was almost over.

oh noooo
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

oooooh, oooh...

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray. (4 x's)

I Swear...

Damn, today seems to be the day that the universe is going to build a stronger and better me, because if it is not trying to break me then I don't know what the hell is going on. I have recently left the profession I have had for the last 5 years of my life. I left education because I truly didn't enjoy the system that was created to educate our youth. I was an excellent facilitator of economics and business, but I lack the passion to teach information I felt was pertinent to the growth of our youth. How could you raise better humans when you are only teaching them how to past a scholastic test? Where do you use the number 2 pencil in the real world? Where is the passion of education when I only teach you what I was told to teach? The students and I have both agreed that the education system is no longer educating the child, it's developing criminals and drones. So I choose to be a man of action and words and moved on from that career path. However through the transition everything has seem to take an alternative route. I left with the expectation that I would make money through the summer so I could dedicate my energy and intelligence to my other endeavours, but today I found out that my summer paycheck has come and gone. I ended back up at the beginning of journey to the city I live in. I came with little money and nothing and now I stand here with little money and nothing. Where do we go? What will I do? I'm at the crossroads looking for the right direction to turn...let's see what life has for me in this journey.

Good afternoon


What was I thinking to expose myself in such a way that you could see inside the door of my life. You could see the failures and mistakes I make....repeatedly, easily, and seamlessly. I told them to stay away cause today was my day to find myself, and then the first one called and asked "What am I doing?" In my mind I'm thinking "trying to not sleep with you." But my mouth say "Nothing". Stupid me. She comes over and chill. We sit and talk about the shit (i.e. everything but this moment). In the midst of the conversation I heard about her trials and tribulation, reasons for elation and the facts that she still lives on the plantation. I'm facing hard times cause all I want to do is plug her mouth, but my self control tells me not to. Damn I hate listening to me...:(
