2012

It's been a year since I've given my blogs any attention. In that year, I joined a derby team, moved, and started art school full time.

These are some of the topics that I'll touch on this year in 2012. I hope that you join me and my thoughts as I cruise through on 8 wheels, some bruises, a badge of honor, and that much closer to a pretty little art degree.

See you around the blog.

Black History Month

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Get Back Up

ay, ay, ay listen to me
And when they push you down, you got to get back up
And when they push you down, you got to get back up

Push the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what!

Ay, what it is World, yeah it's me again, back before you, at your mercy, on bended knees again, no running from the truth as much as we pretend, that it aint what it is, then it hits CNN. Apologies to my fans and my closest friends, (I'm sorry) for letting you down, I wont take you down this road again.

Most of you now saying whatever, here we go again blogs, radio, and television all going in, I laugh to keep from crying through all of the embarrasment I gotta say you f-cking haters is hilarious how dare you sit right there and act as if you holier than thou point your finger now with me looking down same clown that was twitpic'ing at my wedding on the same twitter page disrespecting wait a second (hold up) never mind my imperfections this is fact, remember that no mistakes too great to recover and bounce back

I admit, yeah, I done some dumb sh-t, disappointed everybody I know try not to hold that against me though, my road to redemption has no GPS so guess the time must be invested for this to be manifested yes it's hard living life in the spotlight trying to dodge the haters same time as the cop light the bible say "let he without sin cast the stone first" (stone first) the sinner or the one who judged him, who was wrong first? yeah he go to work, never done no drugs or to be fair he just drink his liquor, touch his kids, beat his wife instead difference is, my shortcomings hit the media thanks to TMZ, the AJC and Wikipedia see the stairway to heaven while stepping down Jacob's ladder my good outweigh the bad, God, aint that what really matters, nope a matter of fact I'm wrong but after that the good i've done in your hood should it overshadow that?

I accept full responsibilty for the all the wrong I've done If y'all thought I were perfect I apologize for being human man but never again partner you can put my life on that. And you can love me, or you can leave me before you judge me, just let me be me and you can love me or either leave me before you judge me, see life aint easy

Blog Post - Remembering the 65th Infantry (U.S. Army)

Feeling melancholy on this supposed joyus day to honor and pay respect to our fallen. A friend of mine said we don't or wont treasure freedom until its taken from us. With that attitude, I say let freedom ring and give one day to all those who fight hard and stay strong for us everyday. The fallen but never forgotten.

Thank you.

Ever Changing Patterns of Life

Man, work was on hit today. I don't know what is going on. So many people to manage and nobody listening. I hate turbulence. Why can't everyone work as one happy family? Craziness. On days like this I just day dream about the days of summer lemon-aid and warm nights. No work, no school. No troubles. Ah, I need a breath of fresh air. Vacation coming around the corner and it's much needed.

Sad

Today is a Sad day. Said things I didn't mean. Spoke out of emotion instead of discipline. Dissapointed with myself. Need to do better when it comes to matters of the heart. I need time inside my own head. Replay the scenario.
