Life Long Goals

2012-01-26T17:26:00.001-08:00

Goals are set in this life for one reason. Goals keep you focused on life, rather than on death. Most important thing to remember in this life is, the only thing all people with something to offer respects the most in those before or after them in this life, something that crosses all barriers and races with no problems. Work! Wins everytime.

Damn Chris Paul Don't be injured

This guy is definitely a God send if you are a clipper fan. Unfortunately he may have pulled a hamstring tonight. This spells frawns once again for clipper nation, who for the past 30 years or so seen loyalty go nowhere fast. Hoping to the heavens, hoping they deliver the miracle. Peace

The worst Christmas ever for me though

2011-12-29T13:54:00.001-08:00

Only in the sense I was sick with food poisioning and was taking it all in for 4 days, which also ran into my Christmas festivities. Check it, I did definitely get angry and had a bone to pick with my man Jesus, then, he comes through again. I am probably the only man in this world anywhere who went into a public hospital, filled out no paperwork, didn't wait even a minute in the waiting room. The Doctor just happened to be in the front when I came in on my last limb, carried me to a room where I got fluids, some anti nausea meds, a shot, and pain meds all in the mix of 45 mins on Christmas Day. How is that that for my creators son teaching me lesson and also saving me at the same time. What a world huh, you catch it on a good day and it seems like a place filled with people you never want to leave. Happy New Year and until the next sickness I suppose. This is why your journey in this life is critical to you and only you. Peace

Just A Reminder to all. Merry Christmas. Really!

2011-12-22T11:41:00.001-08:00

Christmas is the time Christ fell from the heavens and into the belly of Mary, life at that point was all about giving and receiving. We give on Christmas in honor of a man who asked for nothing in return. Whether Ala had a say in the say in sculpting this beautiful world or not, is never the responsibility of others to decide. Religion in all aspects of the word is a beautiful thing. Never take away from the word and the teachings because of what you see or hear in the culture today. People will always live by a greed that best suits them, not always by the teachings that was set forth by the great intities we respect today. So remember when you look at your hands, eyes, mouth, nose in the mirror and you see the way earth regenerates itself over and over. If you don't believe Ala, or Jesus or whatever faith leader you are discouraged from following. Believe that for as long as mankind exist, there will never be man or anything we know that will create a earth like this, so beleive in something at least greater than yourself. Let that be your guide to preserving this earth for the next generation to marvel in. Merry Everything Religious, and everything surrouding great men of past worlds who saw great, and saw a need to preserve it. Peace

I just want to talk for a minute. My new title

2011-12-19T21:57:00.001-08:00

Life, sometimes it is so funny. I wonder if people who have kids, siblings ever look beyond the moment and just think as I have, sometimes how things never change. Do you ever understand how much influence you have over the generation after generation beyond you, you have. No one child will ever become aware of life lessons without the guidence of one who has been here before, but, more important one willing to teach as it is and will be before they arrived here. Teachings.

Fear factor on NBC wow, What a show

2011-12-19T21:50:00.001-08:00

What a show. I thought they would at the very least boost the payout. People on the world will do anything for the all mighty dallor I say. Tell you the truth, I don't think it ever about the money. Like survivor, it is the will to power over the scared.

PAIN AND REALITY REALLY DOES GO TOGETHER POEM

2011-10-27T11:48:00.000-07:00

Throughout life and reality, pain is always there to rear its ugly face at you
No matter how much of life you tried to control, Pain is there to tear it all down
As you pursue love for all the right reasons, as you begin to find another
Pain will always be there to snap you back to reality
When life seems to be something one has a handle on totally
Pain says hold on, cuts the rope of fate and moves you back into sadness
Death sounds good for some, but is but a mystery to others
Death is the cop out to pain, when the fight seems to be over
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no man, and fear no evil in my path
I bet when God wrote the story of life for us to adhere too
He never determined how much pain would play a roll in it all
Pain can be beat, but it will take time, that some say and feel everyday
But doing it alone, after you have defeated pain for others
Exhausted and weak, becomes the main ingredient for pain to go further

THANK GOD THE NFL HAS RETURNED, WITH SOME NEGLECTS THOUGH

2011-08-12T10:39:00.000-07:00

The world is happy to see the N.F.L. returning to T.V. I know I am. I am also glad that it seems to be apparent that after all the neck injuries, the fighting, the steroids, the glare, the spinal cords going to hell, that the players can finally reap some benefit other than the famous facials they desire. I never did understand greed, but as you get older and wiser in the world, it becomes more evident why. Why are people so greedy? You say! It is simple, we are people. We want things that matter to other people. I, being naive, just always thought the sports world was beyond the greedy tactics of politics and oil companies, and Arabians & their love for gold. But now I see that it is all the same. Like the little kids growing up next door to me, allowing me the chance to sit back and watch the cycle of life happen before me. The same trouble I got into, wow, all over again. The same defiance me and my friends had for authority and other people's property for our own amusement, wow! The in result being that all my friends are locked away in a cage for large portions of their natural lives, reality. That's where it all stands for us huh. Not having a past-time, or stress reliever because of greed. Seeing life never change is definitely cold-blooded. Seeing a man like Barack Obama strive to change the way we think for the good of man-kind, and be denied, just goes to show you that people as a whole, even with all the hate and greed in the world, love it just the way it is!! PEACE. TAKE CARE FANS OF MINE. I'M OUT

Lebron is no Kobe, That is the Difference. Just as Jordan still stands alone

2011-06-09T23:28:00.000-07:00

Lebron James is a talent above the rest, no doubt. But a talent like that is nothing if you can't be great when it is meant for you to do so. Kobe Bryant, has proved himself. Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Tupac Shukar, proved that when it is time to be great, they rise. Lebron wants something he is not willing to lay his basketball life, and soul on the line for. Deshawn Stevenson may sound crazy, an ass even, but he is right. It doesn't mean a thing to have that type of skill, if life never takes you over the hump, right! What is the use of this man possessing all that talent, if he keeps on choking when it is time for him shine. In Cleveland, he always seemed to bring his team to the mountain top, drink all the water, eat all the food, then leave the mountain dry and empty, all the time. Peace

LEBRON STOP WORRYING, YOU IN THE SAME LIGHT KOBE WAS IN!

2011-03-07T00:04:00.000-08:00

Dont trip lebron, there is still no man that can do what you do. Face the fact people are coming after you night in and night out, and play to your strengths, and stop trying to do everything. your a big money player, but you are only human.
you seen how Kobe cried when he had no players to compliment his ball hogging game, then came Shaq, now Pau. they are players that do what Kobe can't do, and stay out of his way. they are consistent, and Kobe is happy. Until the heat get complimentary playerS for Lebron, Dwayne, & Chris, Miami is only as good as there high priced players they acquire. The N.B.A ia and always will be set to entertainment first, then pay the ones who do the entertaining. What I mean is there will never be enough time in a game, room on a team for players to mesh like the Heat are trying. But somehow, someway, I am hopeful the Heat prove me and the world wrong, and win 6 straight titles and allow Lebron and Wade to be the best to ever do it, they deserve that honor. They have single handed put the N.B.A on there shoulders and brought this league to a status no other sport will ever get too.

OBAMA, DONT WORRY! WE STILL HAVE YOUR BACK.

2010-09-08T08:23:00.000-07:00

I never thought Obama would conform to the norm in Capital Hill. Black man or not, I wanted Obama to get in the white house and shake life up, not things. White, Black, no matter, all play the same game of money when money is the forefront of happiness. A man like Obama knows this. He knew the world self destructed on the wishful thinking and spending of huge investment companies and Bush laws from the past. Yet, Obama is in, and has done what the last Bush has done, which I gave him a pass on, because hey, would you defy your dad in any scenario. Come on man, for once, tell the world, that as long you put your money in banks, stick your power and mind in the pot of others to handle, and be naive to the problems of the world, that people who are willing to make the decisions you resist, will continue to do things their way. Tell the world that making money is not all their is to it. That education is not just learning from books, but understanding the avenues of which money can be made. Education means, how to talk to men with money? That being in command means you have become a product of a lot of money. Health care is good start Obama, but life is not built on Health care for all. Health care will be affordable if you merely regulate spending and false investing by the health care industries that continue to try and make up cost by offering outrageous health care. Do that first, as a man who is Black, someone who knows the back-end of all. Then tell the people that you bailed out banks because of stupidity. You don't have total control of the White House,even though you are president. Let the people know that, Obama, you, are different than the rest, remember.
People always fear control, but allow it. But what I can't seem to understand is hatred for someone that has tried and tried, with virtually no help in sight. Obama is only a man. If the people don't get out and create new ideas, better ideas, life will always be at a stand still. The economy is at a point right now, where the rich want to stay rich, are scared, and are saving their own pennies and dimes like us all. The problem with that is we need the rich to continue to spend and maneuver, not save. The worst thing in my opinion Obama has done, was tax the rich hard because now, the extra they did have that they were spending on creating jobs in various markets, they now hold for tax season and to preserve their own lives. We as Americans must realize that in order for the job market to come back, we have to stop looking for jobs that don't exist, and get out and use our talents to create a new market for ourselves, for our kids to follow. That's the only way life will move as it did for us again. Take for instance Blockbuster Video, they will soon be going out of business and laying off over 40,000 employees in America. But blockbuster will still be a functional entity to the world of movies, they just will be strictly online and in kiosks. That means 40,000 jobs will be dwindled all the way down to maybe 2 or 3 tech savvy employee's to control servers and downloads online, and maybe an outside security firm to control the sites security. This is what big business is resulting too, easy money, safeguard assets. What to do? Get out there with your sense of know how in whatever it is you know how to do and express that to the people who need thoses services, and generate that income you are entitled too. No matter how much you hate Bush, Clinton, Obama or whoever else becomes president, it is ultimately up to the people that live in this country to do what the Hispanic population, or the Asian population has done for years on end, come in and create a market they can survive in for decades to come. That's how you ultimately create jobs. Peace

Life is a Struggle for us All, Dont Believe The Hype!

2010-07-17T11:54:00.000-07:00

Life is about failure to success. I watch these shows all the time about Investing, Saving, How to, Motivation, etc. What does it all mean? I'll tell you. It is a select group of people who, in their own minds, discovered a way to maneuver around a human beings misconception, and manipulate them into thinking the normal is only normal, if you do it with them. People, understand that life is about money. If you hear of a site that only allows beautiful people on it, or a man who prays on people's misfortunes, or motivational speaking that ends in a death, the in result, money. Lebron moving to Miami, not staying in Cleveland where he belongs, money. Him, having his own show, bleeding all he can out of all who will pursue him, money. I love it, because it sends a message to our youth that need for once the message to be sent. It says to them that life isn't what you think it is, life is about money. You go to school to find your way. You go to college because you haven't found it yet. When you get out, you must move in your own path, stepping on as many heads as you can till you reach the top, then once you are there, those who picked up the bodies you disposed of, become the best worker's on your force money can buy. That is the reality of it all. No one really cares about anyone else. You think Bill Gates sends money to Africa because he cares, or Oprah builds a school in rural Africa because she just loves the kids. You think Haiti gets donations because we feel sorry for them, come on. This Government is built on E-commerce and Free Enterprise, but it also Prey's on the very people that allow free-enterprise to exist. So, if you make more money that the President, you better send it off, or we will make sure you are bleed dry before your time on this earth is over with. No one man can be above the man(Government), no one. Just understand life people! I say, save your pennies, nickles, dimes. Make the bank make you rich, not the other way around. Congratulate those like Lebron and Bill Gates for becoming great motivators in this world. Love the fact money is still relevant in the world. Protest Haiti Government for being stingy. Advertisement democracy in Africa so they can finally realize how rich there land is and stand up for it, & make some money off it. Tell the middle east that as long as they continue to kill innocent people in this world of yours, the problem still grows like a cancer. We feel the pain of oppression in these countries, but to bomb and kill, just solidifies why you oppressed in the first place to your Governments out there. Be safe Human Beings out there, because believe it or not, culture, no culture, we all bounded for death, and subject to the same ultimate disasters. Peace

Lebron James. All Hype No Action

2010-05-16T08:55:00.000-07:00

Columnists and people alike have a total misconception of what sports entail I think. Pro sports is a business first, and a sport second. The hype that Lebron James is getting, is exactly the hype he should be getting as a man who is trying to stay relevant long enough to achieve his goal as a professional athlete and make as much money as he possibly can before he gets hurt, or skills is no longer needed. We all know there is a difference between Lebron and Kobe. Yes, they are two different people, with two different ways of looking at life in the realm of basketball. Kobe, is a win first, get paid accordingly. Lebron is a money first, and make lots of it anyway, any means necessary. Why is that Lebron pushes it, like a run on sentence? People become aware of Lebron, who before this never knew of the man himself. People begin to sir-come to the hype and follow it. Lebron stock then begins to rise, and the money in the end for a man who has done nothing but move through the sport of basketball getting paid for the possibility, like the Donald Trump of sports, but it is only fair to want a talent like that on the notion it will get better. If getting money is the key here, he has the remedy for success. If winning is in Lebron blood, he has a long way to go.

VENICE BEACH, BOY OH BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN

2009-10-25T23:04:00.000-07:00

Venice beach California, What more can you say about it. back in the day, when I grew up there, trash talking was about as far it got when argument pursued. Now, Black people, think that fighting in public proves man-hood. Whether you Gang-bang, or you hustle, or you go to school, or you work, never ever forget the golden rule of thumb. A man is still a man, when it's time to battle. I went down there today to play some ball, and had a very good time actually. Went to the first court(if you played at Venice, you knew what I mean) to watch a game that turned disastrous very quickly. The, I got fouled argument as-sued, which then lead to an all out brawl between two individuals. For some reason they figured it was cool to fight and show toughness, but in hindsight, they looked like fools. It was worse because they were young, intelligent, fairly skilled ball players who initially came to have a good time at Venice Beach. Stupidity runs rapid in all cultures, we know that. Black men, watching Black men embarrass themselves and their race like that gets to me, gets to me in a way you will never understand. As Persian people begin to rise. As Asian Americans continue to carve out a piece of what's rightfully theirs, and as Hispanics continue progress. We as Black young people from our respective hoods, still have not learned that genocidal distrust, and disrespect only spells a recipe for disaster as a race. I just want to say that if the 2 men who fought down on the beach read this at some point in their lives, this day Oct. 25, 2009, take a look in the mirror after you have bandaged and tended to your blooded wounds, and just ask yourself one thing, one thing only, Was this worth the embarrassment? Was it worth the continued stigma you have continued to place in the minds of all others not like us. The Stigma that reads, Hell, leave them be, they will eventually kill themselves off! If you love the prejudice and unjust reality, well then hey, That's all I have to say about that. Peace!!

HEART FELT, Exclusive to Dedproduct.com, Written by Devin Davidson of Dedproduct.com

2009-08-08T13:14:00.000-07:00

Obama, a man of reality.
Life, an entity of humanity
Dreams, here for failure to exist
My city (Venice California), a life of constant pressure
Stress, yes, it keeps the mind weary
Success, yes, it's never sweet alone at the top
America, yes, it's always a great place to start
Gangs, yes, they still exist, So!
Girls, yes, they hold a great power, but do they know it
Sex, an amazing feeling, but deserves the journey
Pain, often and frequent to most, still hurts deep
You. Black, White, Hispanic, Other, still like me
Heart, maybe it's there, maybe its not for me, but I am here for you
Love, never left me or you.

My dedication to Obama as a force behind change, not as a black man like me. Because, if we continue to bless the color of his skin, we will never unify the standard we as Americans tried to upheld when the majority Whites and Hispanics who voted for him had in mind. Peace, and Love for us all, Everywhere.

BANKS, CARS,POLITICS, AVG JOE IS SUFFERING NOW!

2009-04-09T08:37:00.000-07:00

The banks, the car makers, Wall street, and the Donald Trumps of the worlds are such idiots in my opinion. They begin to move money is such a way that was destructible. They fall, then get bailed out because the government paid so much attention to them, they can't afford now to let them just fade away, BULLSHIT. Look, the world understands that crime pays, and the government lives and thrives off the stupidly, most of the time intelligence, of criminals around the world. Scam artists are no different. Accordingly to recent news, most of the bad debt of the Books of your bank, where bad real estate deals done by the bank and scam artists. Wow, huh, and you trust your local bank with your money I see. I say, continue to put your money in there, the government will cover it. I say, continue to inflate the dollar bill Washington, make it so it will be worth nothing someday. Why not continue to award the mistakes of others? Banks in my opinion should be allowed to fall, if they are stupid and unwary enough to allow a system of scam artists to wage war on the very market that keeps your business afloat. No payroll nominator, no director of security, no dept. of scams and unwary practices within the bank that generates millions upon billions of dollars a day. Obama, let them fall, they have allowed us all to fall because of their stupidly, let them fall and be prosecuted also for their selfish ways. People have lost jobs man. Payrolls shot to hell for most businesses. People being laid off for the simple fact. America gone to shit because of trust, and false security. Human beings, may they be politicians, or businessmen, or drug dealers, or scam artist, all have something important in common that connects them all, MONEY. Politicians raise taxes in California because they need money, to fit the payroll of the high rollers in Congress out here, and to make their families eat, while we are in this crisis. Some feel taxes shouldn't have been raised, feel congress should be compassionate. You know what I say to that, be real with yourself! If you continue to bypass the true factor of makes one fight so hard to be a politician, a banker, doctor, lawyer, in the first place, then there is no talking to you at all anyway. A human being in any culture, any civilization, any tribe, is not going to fight, scrape, work painfully hard, out performing us all to get to the top, just to say, I AM HERE FOR THE PEOPLE, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. Give me a break man, Understand the world you live, greed runs us all! PEACE

WE ARE STILL ANIMALS, AS A SPECIES, WE CAN'T FAIL

2009-02-14T09:37:00.000-08:00

I have a love for video games. It seems that as companies and industries go by the wayside, people find opportunity to show the world a new way of life. Billionaires don't become rich over night individuals, they are people who are innovative at heart. Thats what we all have to do. Buying commodities that sell in the years to come, traveling the world introducing ourselves to different cultures, different likes and strengths. We have the abilities, but when you are in a job workforce your whole life, sometime you loose that animal instinct to move on. We are no different then the lion, deer, or buffalo who search everyday across great plans of earth in search of food, and new salvation. We have just become lazy and unaware of the fact that even though we hold the power to change this earth, we are still creatures created like all others for this earth. The time for change is now. The time for migration, salvation, to wealth is now. Make your mark, start your journey, become the animal instinctive human being God intended for us to be. he made us the number one species for a reason, otherwise we would be captive to the deer, or lions we so adore. I saw my old boss who gave me my first job last week. Rich Appall is a man who has great influence in my, probably going beyond the influence my father has in my life, simply because he gave me a chance to see real life, when even I didn't care to respect it. Imagine if racism existed in my life. I would have never been able to see a successful, independent man of a different culture/race who respected all, and allowed us all to take what we could from him at no cost. Rich and Luke, I will always love these men to my death, simply because they gave me the will and confidence to belong. Society, culture, race, is not a issue in my life, because of them. Confidence stays at a high level because of the chances they open my soul too. When I saw this man last week, I thought wow, I want to be him one day. You know, I have realized, millionaires, or simply successful businessman are all the same, we are all the same. Some are envious to hard work, and expect the later to come right now, without the sacrifice and failures along the way. I have been able to see first hand that with hope, saving, sacrifice, good people, and believing in the world you want, anything is possible. Thanks Rich, Luke, Chris, V.D.I., D.V.S. for being so good to my family, and showing me where my journey could lead with the hard work I am willing to put into it. Now I know it will not be for nothing. Now the hard part, after all the foolishness I provided these men as a young child screwing around at work, but love getting paid, the question remains, how to convince these men now that I am a winner at heart? How to convince these men to look past the immaturity I had when they gave me my first job at 14, and see a man with goals and plans, and invested interest my lengthy mapped out future that I have designed for myself? Hmmm, There is my dilemma now, or should I just move on to someone who doesn't know I was a screw up back in the day.

THESE AREN'T TOUGH TIMES, THIS IS PRIME TIME

2009-02-04T18:26:00.000-08:00

Times don't get rough just because the big companies tend to fall by the wayside. If you can see what is going on, you will realize this is opportunity for all those looking for a chance to get theirs. People talk everyday all day about fairness, racism, equality, etc. I say forget all that, if you want to make a name for yourself, use these bad times for the huge corporations as a time to sit back, take all the lessons and skills you have acquired along your well endowed life, and go out and push those skills to the general public, at a price that it should be. Electronics, Cars, Clothes, Accessories, Coffee, Goods, Sporting Equipment, Loans, etc will not stop selling, it just will not be sold by one particular anymore who corners the market and makes all the money. Think about it like this, for every Circuit City, Macy, Merveyns, there can be 200 to 1000 new small business arising in each neighborhood that lose the bigs selling the same merchandise, and at a reasonable price, small overhead, to carve out their nitch of the market. That's the focus behind Obama, Freeing up money from crooked politicians, making people pay all their taxes this year, giving banks restricted bailout money. This is all in attempt to level the playing field for all people. I look around everyday, and for all of us who downed the Hispanic population for how they live, bunched up in one home like they do. Having so many babies! But what you failed to see, is that they are a species of human beings who foresee times like these, and then capitalize off it before the rest catches up. Look at what jobs they have, now everyone wants those jobs. These are the jobs that didn't pay much, but now everyone sees the sacrifice they have made, and how they still strive when everyone falls. I declare all normal folk to go get rich, you have a skill, now is the time to present that skill to the world. If you have a talent, you better make this your shining light. While the Field is all level, you better jump in everyone, and get yours before the bigs step back in and take the pot back to the way it was. Who needs a job, when you can have a business selling a product for a profit. Who needs a job when you can offer a service to someone for your own rates, and in turn they offer you a profit, and you then spend and profit off them, that's Democracy, I say!! No matter what, life will continue to move forward. It may not be the currency way of life anymore, or the get rich and give jobs way of life. I see the economy moving in a way where, everyone is playing on a level playing field, because it is just how life should be. People will begin to trade things they don't need with people who may need them, for things they may need from them. People will begin to see companies downsize, shorten what they can provide the public, & in turn provide small business an opportunity to strive. You see, when you depend on white collar, blue collar, and the normal white male or foreign entity to make the big moves and provide the jobs, you will always run into a Holt in the system. Remember that what you have is what it is, a job! If you don't go out, travel the world, migrate, provide, educate, create, sell, modify your own ideas, ambitions in a way that is successful for you, you will always be dependent. I have been all over the world, and you know I have found out, Those people who are making the steady money, who are not affected by this recession, are also people who have been all over the world, educating, migrating, modifying, creating, and selling the skill they possess. There may not be money to be made in one particular place anymore, but hey understand, if you had a job, you have a skill. There is still the internet, the world wide web, newspaper, magazines, free newsletters, ways to push your skill without having to pack up the family. We look at actors, athletes, successful businessman, and say why? What we don't see is the sacrifice they make, the loneliness they posses, so that they can provide a future. These people buy homes, and produce families that they never see, Daily! Think about that, next time you are envious!

BARACK OBAMA DID IT, BUT NOT ALONE

2009-01-21T00:09:00.000-08:00

Through it all, it almost seemed that it was supposed to be this way. To tell you the truth, when Mr. President spoke of a collective effort getting him into the president chair, he was absolutely right. Barack Obama could never have done this alone. I am not speaking of voters, but of the many black and minority faces that have gained the outside world respect long before. From the Japanese actors, businessmen who give young urban America a chance to make it rich everyday, with fashion, cheap goods, and great entertainment. To black movie stars, rappers, athletes, and good politicians, who have for so long, come from, arose from the bullshit of street life, to give you, the world, a positive outlook on our culture. We did it, we just obviously needed a man with the intellect to hold the torch once we gained the courage and strength to light it up, is all. From the fathers like my father, whom if you were his child would hate that man like bad breath in the air that never goes away. A man, a father who through it all, was there, is there, is still there. His approach is what I hate, hated. The man, my father, now thats something to cherish always, a man who has taught another man (Me) to be strong, to see reality. Those fathers out there, like my father, who actually raised their children to be men without reason, and to have reality, made this a historic day. See, white folks were abale to obtain slaves, and robbed the indians, because they simply back then had the instinct to know they could kill, They were the hunter. The lion through nature knows he can kill a deer. Through time though, that deer has realized that if he stood with his family, his pack, no lion would ever touch him. He became merely a deer, not prey. Black, White, Hispanics, Muslim, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Quatemalan, Hindo, Religion, all came together in this manner. Figured yes, when you stand alone, you subject to become prey, but if you stand together, now thats something they can never touch, no matter what you think you are. Barack is merely the soul, the man millions created through there cultivations of spirits, and years of being the prey. Kind of like Frankenstein in motion, in real time. It is a struggle yes, but life lives through even white, as a struggle. We in a recession, says who. White folk call it a recession when they struggle, Everyone else calls it life. Reality bit the bullet today, no it didn't, stop being so nervous people. Barack, unlike Martin, Malcom, Medger, Tookie, Tupac, Biggie, didnt stand alone, wasn't singled out and pointed towards a race, a culture, a movement, a body. You see, Martin was killed becuase he stood alone, becuase he was only understood when he was alive by one race of people who belived life had become unbearable. But you make life unbearable for the world as a whole, then you jump to take control, you become the head of the dragon. See, Tookie Williams, Tupac, Biggie, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Langston Hughes, Thurgood Marshall, Mayor Viragosa, Ceaser Chavez, All those Koreans, Japanese, Chinese Americans who faught in our wars, those busniessmen, all played a signifant role today, believe that. Confidence is the key to victory, but confidence is something that is created from something greater than you, that you have to be able to touch it and draw from it. A man like Barack Obama, played his position, an intellengent Black/White man with color, sat back and looked at the times as he saw it in everyone's eyes. I know he sat back and mourned the Tupac/Biggie deaths. I know he sobed when Tookie was assassinated even though. I know he saw the riots, and felt bewildered by it. It takes a great human being though, to see all that, and still say I will take the high road, play off the weaknesses I see, and raise my people through all this, to make it something I know it can be. It took Bush being greedy, and self preserved, twice. It took the fall of the so-called economy. It took the wars on nothing at all! Because now the people, suffer. Suffering now don't see race. Plags now don't see race. Poverty now, could care less what color you are, or who your father in law is. Now everyone, even the most firece of human beings on earth are forced to see human beings for what they are, human beings. No man's pocket book is safe anymore, even Mr. Bill Gates. No man is above law makers. No job is untouchable, no matter how long you been there, or how much you make, or where you work. No greed goes unnoticed anywhere, no mateer what firm you work for. I just hope the people see, that we all played the professor, the Director/Screenwriter, in making up a great scene for this great movie to play itself out. What comes next you say? Well this is not a Bush President election here people. We built this man, placed him at the scene of tourmoil, what happens now, is however we as a people choose from this point to write the script, I say! Keep on keeping on, and please stop saying now, for once, God Bless America! Change this to, God Bless Our Earth!

WITH STRUGGLE, COMES A MESSAGE ON JAN.20TH, BE THERE

2008-12-31T08:45:00.000-08:00

A Message
A message is a word brought to life
A message is a phrase that means something
A message can be in a sign, a billboard
A message if not expressed stays in the mind
A message can be in an action
A message can be truth, truth in the beholder
A message is a spirit that flows within
A message can present a challenge
A challenge one is willing to except
A message can be in a gun
To tote a gun means to send a message
A message can simply be imagination
A message can't be without thought
A message can't function without followers
It can't be allowed, it can't function
If the message is not broken through
A message!

Life Is Just Like I said, Cruel! But You must Maintain your Strength!

2008-11-30T20:48:00.000-08:00

Like me, hate me. Its doesn't really concern me! Life is about it all, in a bunch of sorry excuses and bad times, you must maintain. You must always have 3 or more ways to bring in an income, to feed the family you have. You must always wear a condom when you sleep around, and be careful about what you eat, when the insurance which you had when you were under 18 expires. Life is, and always will be, about choices one makes. I could of made the choice to be like my brothers and be sad about my father leaving us to rot, just because he felt we hit an age where child support or parental guidance was unnecessary anymore. I could of been angry when he threw me and my moms to the curb, and moved in another woman, just to throw his happiness into our faces with all the luxuries we longed for, but never was able to obtain because he always felt we didn't deserve it. I could of been angry when I was scammed by him time and time again by my family, my father. How he took over my financial life, only to have me end up like a middle class Gary Coleman; A man poor, broke, and lonely. Yes I have been deceived, extorted from, lied too, beat to the point of bleeding( naked most of the time), and down-talked. The worst part is, I have never been none of those things outside my family, my father. I understand my mother, I am proud of my mom, she hung in there to the best of her knowledge of the world, and she won. She is still winning. Wealth, now for my mom, is having her sons near her. My mom took my brother on the pretense he would get a job, a hustle, and do something with his life, but she will never put him on the curb because he hasn't, That's my mom. I could of been angry when I went off to college to study, only to come back to my hometown, and see it gentrified, by locking up every single decent black young hustling man I knew, and rid the city of minorities the best way the upper class, or the white man as they call it, knows how. Gentrification ruined Venice Ca, the city I hold dear to my heart, the city I grew up in and had all my friends in. The city that taught me about respect of others, gangs, cultures, women, and life. The city that taught me how to play sports, kept my spirits high when I was down, and motivated me to want to do better, to show the OG's that they didn't look out for me for nothing. Where did life go wrong for me. No friends, no true family to call my own, no one to talk too when times are hard, to borrow money from when things are tight, nothing. No friends anymore out there that mean something to me, no real friends to go play ball with, hang out with, stir me from danger, nothing. Strength, in times of down pour, is what you need though, to get by! When we see American going through a recession, its not always what it seems. Recession in a single word, means stress. When big business can't make enough money to do the luxurious, lavish, extravagant things wealthy people do anymore, the word to describe their nervous actions is, recession. To maintain the lifestyle they seem to cannot do without, they then begin to cut jobs, cut salaries, to maintain their lifestyle. Stress is what recession is, anger is what most wealthy businesses feel, envy is what they seek always. My people, when you read this, understand that strength is something I take to heart because it takes strength to go through no Christmases, no birthday parties, no one to congratulate you on your A, no one to to tell your problems to, no one to tell you, you can do it. It takes strength to still think you can up-root your own life without the family lifeline you seek, and pull through it. It takes strength to not come to your father, and take his head off for all the mean things he was apart of, leaving us on Christmas day with no tree, no presents, no nothing, sad. Take his head off for not being there through our rough times, maintain our cool heads, and tell us it would be ok. Take his head off for cheating on my Mother for 28 years of my life. I have strength my people, because it is nothing I haven't faced, dropped into the life bucket, and stirred it in the pot, to make influence, with a little bit of confidence, and to top it with some courage. I want my clothing Line, it will come. I want my own store in the mall, it will come. I want my scripts to be made into movies by the best actors and actresses in the business, it will come. I want my poetry and work to be made into a best selling short story series of my life, like my favorite Comedian George Lopez, it will come. I want a web-series, and T.V. series about my life, and how I grew up through gangs that didn't do it with conventional killing and scare tactics, but with pure respect and family unity. Through life with no family to motivate me, but with friends who saw something in my style to save me from danger. A T.V. series about a Venice California that stirred nervousness in all that wasn't apart of Venice Ca, and made you feel proud to be apart of this city. It takes strength, not faith. It takes just you living through failure knowing it will always be apart of your life even when things are going great. It takes you knowing that everyone, even family, has to earn your respect, and has to earn the right to be called your family. It takes you knowing who your enemies are, confronting them, letting them know what life is about, and establishing that, you and them can co-exist and get along. It takes you knowing that family has your DNA, but has no real tie to influencing the outcome of your life. When you get all that together, and you then roll the dice of life, you ready to go face the world, because you understand it all now. Don't let life bring you down, ok. Keep it up, look out for my work, my clothing and my book. My movie starts film date of Jan.30 2009. New year, new plans, new terms, new reel of faith. Strength.
