The Egg Hunt.

I really just wanna thank the man upstairs for another day. The weather was great, the eggs were hidden and the kids were out with yes their Sunday's best on. Thank you once again for another Easter Sunday. Peace.

Why be ungreatful

Wow its been a very longtime since i've had the chance to post anytthing. I've been working like a goddamn dog for what, well I guess to make ends meat as they say. Over the past years I've given of myself in so many ways so many that Im almost to the point of just saying nope no more. To expect someone to give over and over and still not be greatful is absoulelty amazing to me.....funny huh. You know its very crazy but very believable that someone who Ive bent over backwards for over the years just is soooooooooo ungreatful. Ok that felt better.....im out. Peace

Tough Times

Wow its been a minute yall, but one thing that I've kept a close I on is the out of control issue of unemployment.....yes people are basically losing jobs to the tune of almost 3100 a day in the month of September, no joke you got it 96,000 jobs lost last month. As I thought about these most unfourtunate happens in our nation I can now see why the level of crime is up around the nation and not just in the "urban" parts of the U.S. Both men and woman from all walks of life and all types of educational backrounds have had their backs push right to the wall regarding the unemployment plague. In addition to the rapid rate of unemployment citizens are also losing their homes just as fast, homes where these people are raising families....it sometimes brings tears to my eyes to know that your next door neighbors home just went into foreclosure or their being evicted because both parents are struggling to begin with and now they to have lost their jobs. Ask yourself what would you do if you were in that situation and then maybe your feelings and outlook would hopefully change. Peace.

Define It ?

What is happiness, define it ? is it measured by how much money one makes, is it determined by where you live or what you drive ? Im curious. In my opinion life's happiness should simply be determined by how fulfilling your career is or how many people benefit from your contributions to society. Many people will and have disagreed with me regarding what is happiness. In society there is and added pressure put on people to look a certain way, act a certain way and make a certain amount of money in order to be accepted by their own peers......should it be ? Bottom line you gotta find happiness within yourself and not in the materialistic items that tend to ruin the everyday man or woman who just wants nothing more than to be happy. Im out until next time so be positive, stay motivated and remember to hug someone uplift someone everyday.

9/23/2010

Yes yes yes it feels good to be writing again. When people say times heals all wounds that may or may not be correct. Over the past weeks life has been not so great to me, but there's still tons to be greatful for. My mother always told me what doesnt kill you will make you stronger. Ive done alot of reading, and re-evaluating myself as man, father and overall person and at some points I didnt like myself, but knowing that its a huge part of growing I can accept it. As people accept your flaws and move forward .......I did.

The Come Bac.

I'm back to almost feeling like someone again. For the past week or so I've felt like whatever I do just isn't good enough, not motivated to write,sing.....yes I sing but it's truly terrible, or even make people laugh at all. Sometimes life will send you to the bottom floor, but it's up to you to reach back with everything and pull yourself outta those holes that could snowball into months of depression. Im happy to say I'm almost there, but I defintely have some work to do. I just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words of encouragement that my extended family have expressed to me over the past few days. We all know what soul searching is.....right, well I did a little bit and it helped. Getting back on the keyboard and puttin it on paper was something that I needed. I'm out for now, but remember to love life, love yourself and continue to strive for greatness until next time......PEACE.

Brothers.

As a middle age man there are moments in my life that I wanna forget, but there are many that I love to reflect on and smile or even cry. In my 34 years of life I have been blessed with 4 great brothers. As a young gentleman my early years were times that I honestly didn't understand the importance of brotherhood. Growing up we all were kinda split up with Keith and myself being raised by our wonderful grandmother and grandfather, and Jamie, Damien, and Cakey staying with our mother. I have to say knowing my mother like I know her if she had a 2nd chance to do it all over we would have all been together, but it was the best thing that could have happened at the time. As my brothers and I all got older, wiser, and more independant I being to realize that I defintely should try my best to have a healthy relationship with all of em. Most people go thru life and and are never blessed they way I was to have four brothers and believe me they are all very different. Weather its brothers, sisters, aunt,or uncles take a step back and understand the value that of siblings like I did, deep down inside I always root for them to succeed in life and I know that all of them are cheering for me. When my brothers or whoever else decides to open this up and read it I wanna convey to them is fellas how much they mean to me and that I love yall cats with every ounce of substance that I have and hope that each and every one of you guys understand  that. Love life, love yourself, and continue to strive for greatness. PEACE.
