Why I Parent.......

There is a reason I parent. It's more than the moral responsablity I have to my child or me being an alpha male by nature, it's because I know the importance of having a male role model/father figure. From the outside you would say that would be my father but we know things are not what they are. My Pops and I are cool now and for the last decade. He was their for me from birth til I was about 12 but then gone for around 10 years. The become a man years. The younger me had a problem with him not being there for that gap in my life. The older me knows that we all have our own demons. So now at 35 and seeing all I have seen in my life, I ain't trippin on that. But back to those growing years..... from around the age of 12 thru 22 years old, the reality of life comes into focus in a youth. That's when a child will have the most life questions, it's when they need the most leadership. It's the age when the steets get more tempting, money gains real value, girls go from cute to sexy and emotions go from like to love. I see my son fast approaching this time period I see his friends also soon to be coming to this age range. I remember hauing questions at that age but I had no one to ask. I was alone with thousards of questions. I had no one to turn when I wanted to play sports. No one to talk to after the first time I had sex. No one to beat my ass the first time I got brought drugs in the houuse. No one to tell my you don't keep a loaded gun where any one in the house can get it. (Sorry NovaMom). No one to teach me the dangers of street life. No one to teach me how to treat a female. No one to show me how to become a man. I refuse to let my son, his friends or this whole generation of kids go thru the growing years with those questions. This is why I parent. This is why I spend time with these kids. This is why I don't give "our leaders" a free pas. I'm not just a parent to my child but a neighborhood of children.

The Lesson

If death teaches us anything, it's that we need to live each moment to the best we can. If it's cancer, fight it. if it's a broken heart, mend it. If it's drugs, kick it. If it's depression, get happy. There is nothing that we can't overcome. We are only as strong as our weakest thought. So clear your mind. Get Straight and carry the fuck on. It's how we were built to be. The miror is your motavation. Look at it, see yourself the way you want to be, then go out and be it. Somewhere along the road of like, we built these roadblocks. And we use these roadblocks as excuses and it's the reason that we don't get shit done. I say fuck the roadblocks, fuck the excuses. Now is the time for action. We learn from the passing of our friends, family members, even celebrity's that pass. We see the good they've done.... or the bad. We take parts of them that they left behind and we use those pieces to bulid a BETTER US. Now the key is to make sure that we are leaving pieces of this NEW US, so that our freinds and family members can grow from what we leave behind. Everyday a class on life is being taught, a class is always in session. So get off your ass, go teach, go learn, GO LIVE. Don't miss out on anymore lessons. #Judas

The Truth Behind War

People don't hate America for no good reason. Sadly, We The People become the targets. Sadly, their citizens become the targets of US drone strikes. The Government feel they don't have to answer our questions. They close the doors and decide our futures. They change the rules so our votes don't count. They wage wars that we have no say in. but they put on a show to get us angry at the world, call it terrorism and we fall for it. We become a blood thirsty mob. We scream for War but war is never the answer. War is waged by cowards and fought by brave men and women. Don't confuse the 2. Thank You Troops, Fuck you leaders of the country.

Change????

Just image the change that could happen if we voted the guy President...... Oh wait, you tried that 3 years ago. The time for promises has been over for a long time. He had the power for 3 years to start his federal Aid watchdog programs, he had 3 years to force a budget in place to cut into the national debt, he's had 3 years to FIX the federal Tax Codes, to work on the "1%" paying their "fair share". But none of this has been addressed. For those that are ready to blame the GOP, remember that from 2008 thru 2010, he had a democratic house and controlled the voting majority. All of this shit could have been done, if they really wanted it done. Don't throw numbers around either because I'll counter those. Unemployment is at 8.5%, the lowest it's been in years, but that not from job creation, that's from unemployment benefits running out. Straight trick politics. Stop falling for the stage show Dorothy, look behind the curtain. The wonderful wizard is just a man. So you can tap you shoes all you want. But there's no place like home and sadly, millions of Americans are still losing theirs and refinancing their mortgages is not going to save them. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! DEMAND MORE THAN EMPTY PROMISES

The Coach, The Singer and You

So I was thinking about something and I came to the realization that America and the people in it only believe what they want to believe. America is jumping down the neck of Coach Sandusky for his actions with these lil boys over the last 20 years. I agree, he should be taken out back and have the shit beat out of him daily and his nuts cut off. Lets get that staight. But then you same people who scream from the mountians about how much of a piece of shit he is and how everyone involved with him shoud face serious jail time are the same people that celebraite Michael Jackson like he wasn't the same kind of piece of shit. You cry for his death and claim you wanted justice for his death and he was jus as bad,if not worst than Sandusky, and MJ got away with everything he did to multiple lil boys and just paid his way out of it. I just want you all to take a second and think about this for a minute. We need to put our children first and hold the people in public light to a lower standerd and call a spade a spade. Just something to think about. Have a great day

WHY WE ARE EQUAL - by Shelby Mortise

At 15 I see and know many gay people and now I`m happy that that gay marriage is laws are being passed.
I always hear straight people say `They don't need to get married because we do.` Well why do straight people get married? When you ask them that they say `god said that they are not allowed too.' I ask them well how do you know. Have you meet him? Have you spoke to him and he said that back?
What ever happened to the equal rights of America. We are suppose to fight for what`s equal. Like slavery. We fought for that but know people think that is wrong for people to fight for the gays.
So I`m happy the people are standing up for the gays.

Let'sDo Obama's Math

So let's do some quick math here, in Dec 2008, George Bush leaves office and there are about 34,000 troops in Afghanistan. Bush leaves office in Jan 209 with a standing order for 3,000 more troops to be deployed in Afghanistan. Raising the total number of troops to 37,000. In Feb 2009, Pres Obama increases that deployment by a whopping 17,000 troops. This came on the heels of him campaigning to end the Afghanistan war, raising out total number of troops to about 54,000. In Dec 2009 President Obama then signs off for another 30,000 troops to be sent over there putting our number of troops on the ground to over 84,000 troops, more than double the number of troops that we had in Afghanistan when he took office. Tonight he said that by the end of the year he wants to pull out 10,000 troops by the of the year and a total of 33,000 by the end of 2012. Now by my numbers, all he is really saying is that of the 47,000 troops that hes signed off on sending, he's going to bring home only about 3/5 of the troops he's sent over there and less than half of our total forces over there. And then to top it off, he wants us to believe that from 2013-2014 the remaining 51,000 troops will be brought home all why they are teaching Afghanistan to stand on their own. I'm sorry but as a American with at least half a brain, I'm deeply offended by his speech and his lack of respect shown to the American people by just throwing numbers around like we cant do the Math.

My Mind......

I swear my mind is all fucked up like Marv's from Sin City. I'm so not right in the head and someone is gonna pay the price for that. I can't remember anything anymore. All my memories and thoughts are going blank. i use to have such a beautiful mind. Now it's suck a scary and ugly place to visit. I don't like taking trips there any more. I use to visit there and walk through field full of pretty flowers and sweet fruit nectar on all the trees. Now there are just rotten apples and spoiled pears scattered all over the fields of dead crops and the corpse of dead rodents. I use to dream of tomorrow, now i only cry about yesterdays. Not that they were bad days, but I just can't recall them. Where have they gone. I look at my pads and the pages are empty, i reach for a pencil but it's not Sharp. I try to look at video and all that plays is snow. Where have I gone? Where has it gone? Passion has faded, will has faded, pleasure has faded, all has faded. There once was a time when I could yell and scream and bring myself back to reality. but those days are gone. My mind is gone, i swear my mind is all fucked up. I'm so not right in the head. but i think the only person that gonna pay the price, is me.

They Cried, We Cried (RIP Malcolm, Martin, BIG and PAC)

They cried for Malcolm. They cried for Martin. We cried for Biggie. We cried for Pac. They gave Jesse and Farrakhan a pass, we did the same for Puff and Suge. They know and we know the reasons they were killed, but we stay silent. Why? Is it easier to give them a pass? Is the path that we take to feel more united. I hope not. Are we just puppets, following the strings of leaders that lead us not to the promise land, but lead us to ATM's and ask for our money, and tell us it's for "the greater good". How long can we carry on this cycle of lies and deceit? We argue about who was the best of all-time. They argue about which path to justice and equal rights should have been followed. We all miss that it's was all for not, because none of them are around to celebrate their life's work. Is the tradegy them dying in vain, or us disrespecting their memories by letting everything they lived for, get wasted in the wind. I hate that I have more questions than answers. I hate that in another 20 to 30 years, the memories of Malcolm and Martin will be faded. I hate that in another 30-40 years we will all but forgotten BIG and Pac. I hate the fact that in another 50 years, we will of all cried for nothing.
