Just thinking

You know how you think deep about the direction you are going in and how to go about it the right way? Well that is what's on my mind and to be totally satisfied. Some people are content with nothing, Doing nothing, becoming nothing, creating nothing, just nothingness. Some people don't even have any idea that there is more to themselves than meets the eye. For some it can take a majority of our lives to see our true potential. Others are modest about it and think of it as just another test for them. I guess I have always been half and half. Half of me was the "Just live day by day" person and the other half knew that the pitfalls were a part of life. I am very thankful for both though. I can now say that my life has never been boring, un-eventful, non-progressive, or not diverse. I think now I am trying to do more and I feel more vibrant than when I was a young boy. It is almost like I am living that over but with sooo much more knowledge. I am sure some of you can agree. We all go back and forth and say "If I knew then what I know now" but to me if I knew everything then, then I would not know what I know now. What I do know is that I have a passion for creating new things and unafraid to obtain things deemed impossible for me to get. Even those doubtful friends that try to discourage you due to their own fear or jealousy. I guess I was always a loner when it came to decisions that would either turn heads or where most who feared change would not attempt. I never tried to out do anyone but myself. I think that is why I have the non chalant approach to everything because I stressed a million times over things but once I have done it...everything else becomes relative. So I hope I am not boring those who are reading this, but it is my thoughts..so I blogged. I am sure most of you can relate. I am basically saying to go for the gold no matter the opposition. No on may like you in the beginning but in the end you are most times, loved by many.

Black History Month

It seems to me that the road to your horizon can be an obscure one. As this month of February presses on, it reminds of the hard road traveled of those before us. Black History Month. Black History month really should be a month of remembrance of the struggle through history for black people on a whole. I think that we have gotten so used to the ever so shallow items of pleasure without even noticing the real oasis. The real oasis I am speaking of is that common ground of unity needing to be met with each other. The talents of our fore fathers brought a lot of change in every facet of industrialism, music, cultures, and style. Lets take a look into this. Where would open heart surgery be without Daniel Hale Williams, Sarah Breedlove Walker who was first to bring out the process of hair straightening, Barrington Irvin who flown around the world in 96 days in a small single engine plane, Or Nat King Cole Being the first black TV show host. I could go on and on but there is no reason to. With the many leaps and bounds of progress during the most restrictive time in life, we still made it through with so much impact. It is really the time to commemorate those pioneers by continuing to progress. Even though the hatred and fear of our presence may be evident at this moment. It will diminish over time for not only those who hold malice, but with ourselves as well. As long as we stick together and love ourselves, then that would make those pioneers happy. Happy Black History month America!!!

Vroom!!

Vroom!!!! My engine starts to the turn of my key of driven success.While I drive this road of life, many potholes have blown my tires, many cops have stopped and cited me, bad directions taken from bad navigators, inclement weather clouding my way, accidents that I had to detour around, and the obscurity of the path driven had all attempted to stop my drive or break my car down but my motor still runs. Each detour, ticket, pitstop, wrong direction taken had broke my car in. Everything repaired on my engine actually made it run better, stronger, longer and further. My vision is no longer nearsighted to only see the immediate but I can see into the distance to anticipate how to navigate. Now I drive knowing more about my whereabouts, terrain, other bad drivers to keep adversities to a medium. As I look in my rearview I see the road traveled and it motivates me to continue on faster, harder, stronger, and knowledgeable. My Drive is my desire and my destination are my goals. I will continue until I reach them. Along the way will be those who feel, know and will be going the distance for theirs.....Where do you want to go?

Speeding Bullet

Piercing through the elements and too fast for the naked eye
Targeted you are by its fast moving blow and force
Its course is unchanged and unhinged to its direction
Sometimes a push or a blow can take you out of its way.....until
BAM!! you are hit by negativity's fast moving bullet.
So inconspicuous in in size but its reputation for pain is well known
I put on my bulletproof vest to protect my chest for it to remain proud,
to stand tall, and if shot at; negativity would fall by the waist side.
I will heal from the onslaught of pain and agony until all pain has subsided.
A little sore from its blow on my vest; I am repaired, unscathed and well.
Watch out for the fast bullet moving as it approaches.
Notice it and remain solid.
Wear that vest.

First day, first blog, new pallate, and fresh thoughts.

First day and on a new plane of depth in my mind in which time has no mention.
Only experience being at the forefront of my lobe, enlightening me like a strobe lights reflection on a disco ball.
To fall, is an obstacle known by me but never owned, due to only one knee touching the ground.
Supported by faith and strength, along with "I can't"'s song humming around me like a 32 bar hummingbird whose thirst of my mental nectar is everlasting.
"I can's" bass beats through any humming like a freight train bringing me back to my center.
As I drive down my street of life, I know that I am and will be heard.
I may not study other art forms to the "T", but I study mine like a nerd in anatomy.
I dissect myself and put me back together again in many ways and variations to perfect any or many flaws.
I am chewing on my future with a locked jaw and never letting go.
I am riding that wave to wherever it takes me due to my desires tsunami.
See, I am deeper than you thought in the physical and mental.
I will provide many forums to understand that image is my nothing but my substance is priceless.
