Dear friends,

If you ever ask me for advice and I answer you to the best of my ability, please take the time to write it down and act on it. If a week passes and I ask have you at least tried it and u say I’m going to do it soon, and then 3 weeks down u hit me up asking the same exact thing that means you’ve wasted my time and yours. Not only that, you are attempting to waste more of my time by asking the same questions. This goes against my system of efficiency. 2012 I’m not doing that for anyone anymore. If you value and respect my time and me then write it down and act on it. I have one life to live and I’m not going to waste it explaining something 2 or 3 times when a person who respected me could have simply wrote it down and at least made an attempt to do it. I don’t mind helping but I’m not going to be anyone’s fool any longer. I am a father, a lover, a creator, a businessman, a student, a friend, an inventor, a musician, etc. With all of those hats I still try my best to help when I can. Why? I understand that I wouldn’t be who I am without the help of the many skilled and patient individuals that I’ve met on my life journey.

With that being said, I hope everyone is good and enjoying life!

“Oh! Janitorial work… I know just the ethnic group for that,” said my Euro-American neighbor as the company he kept laughed along. Totally oblivious that I was standing outside a few fences over, I wondered whom he had in mind.

It saddens me that we are, and may forever be, in a world where racism is just as familiar as air.

The way I see it, everyday the government is inventing new ways to imprison the civilians. This is not an anti-government post, I just feel like true freedom is becoming more and more a big delusion.

After you watch this do some research and do something about it. Let your voice be heard.

So in actuality I want to write a book about this subject one day, but for now I’m going to use my site to talk directly the hustlers to get one of the most important economic points across.

Money is GREEN!

You’re probably asking yourself, “What does he mean by that exactly?” Here’s what I mean:

As humans we are some socially cliquish little b*stards. What I mean by that is that we are usually very comfortable socializing with the same group of people over and over again. This isn’t a bad thing, but usually it’s a clique of people who look like, think like, talk like, and act like us. Again, that’s not a bad thing at all. I think that’s actually just a human’s nature. But in the market place that nature can shoot you in the foot in the long run.

We’ve all heard of Colgate, right? I mention them because it’s the first brand that comes to mind. I don’t know the company’s history, the ethnicity of the founder, so on and so forth. All I know is that they sell toothbrushes and toothpaste. Imagine if you will that a Jewish family started Colgate. Let’s say they put the Star of David on all of their products, how successful would they be? Had that been the case Colgate probably would not have the mass appeal they have today. Or what if Toshiba made their TV’s to only speak in Japanese? Do you get where I’m going with this?

I notice a lot of start-ups are catered to a certain crowd of people, which isn’t bad, but if that crowd is the same clique you run with then your money will be limited. If a Black man opens a Black shop to sell Black products then guess what… His money will be very limited because he can only make Black dollars. Am I making any sense?

Instead of going after the White dollar, or the Black dollar, or the Latino dollar, or the Asian dollar, go after the Green dollar. And believe me, you can pull that off easier than you think! All you have to do find a void and fill it. That’s it! It’s really that simple. Just find a service that’s missing and you do what you can to bring that service to the market place. Don’t get me wrong some businesses need to fill that cultural void, but a lot of times that void is overflowing with so many people trying to cram into the one lane. If you are a business owner ask yourself how many people in your inner circle (or close to it at least) are trying to do the same thing you are? You’ll notice that you all kind of ended up with similar businesses when there is a wide array of services and goods that people need.

I hope this helps out your hustle. 2012 is here! Let’s get it crackin! Also if you think this is in anyway beneficial share it with your “clique” by pressing the buttons below.

This is going to be a short entry. At the moment I can’t find the strength to really focus long enough to give an in depth post. I’m not even sure that I actually want to.

The message here is that belief systems do more damage than good in the world that I live in. It may be different for you and the places you find yourself, but for me they create separation. Gender, race, religion, flag, class, age, tradition, star sign, ceremony, even neighborhood street can be a reason for separation.

We are all searching for a meaning to life I think. I understand humans are a social creatures; so joining a clique makes sense. It just sucks when what makes sense ultimately makes war and separation.

Today I spent handling some legal business. It’s always a good feeling when at first you see a situation as a hopeless one and then someone informs you that there is a silver lining. Not to delve too much into what the matter is, just know that I might come out with a W.

So what’s next for me? I honestly need to go back over my list of goals and revise them. It’s been awhile since I’ve sat and did some goal planning. If you know anything about me you’d know how important I think having a set of written down goals is. The most transformative years I’ve had I’d accredit to having my goals on a sheet of paper.

Anyhow, I’m about to turn the Wii on and stream a documentary or two through Netflix. I hope your day was as uplifting as mine has been.

We’ll build later.

I’m unsure what death is exactly. I mean I know what it is in the abstract sense. I had my first brush with it in 2003. Is it something to be feared? It’s our inevitable end, right? The Buddhists say that death is always our companion and is omnipresent. I think the best way it has been described is that as soon as we‘re born we are growing closer to death. For some the thought of death is debilitating. For others pushing their human limits as close to death as possible gives them a well sought adrenaline rush.

What happens after death? Many will tell you their beliefs about what happens when we die down to the exact detail. Most have been programmed by religious belief systems. I happen not to fall victim to these. I figure someone knowing for certain what’s on the other side is the equivalent to them looking at a vault they’ve never seen and knowing for certain what’s in it. It’s impossible. But, if someone has spent a reasonable amount of time dead, let’s say 3 years, and I mean dead dead, not on life support or in a coma, but dead, then that person has a better chance of making me a believer. Aside from that you can save your ancient tales for the next man. Not being difficult, just being real.

Death is forever… and so is life.

The God Nasir. Feeling this joint.

Woke up to more of the same nonsense.

I’m surprised that Rick and Premo have never worked together before. For some reason that doesn’t seem right. Whatever the case – the reality is this is their first collaboration. It’s solid if you ask me. Hopefully more songs come out of this movie single.
