Fade to black.

They say they never really miss you till you dead or you gone. So on that note I'm leaving after this blog. So you don't have to feel no away about me, so long. At least let me tell you why I'm this way hold on...

Oh wait I have done enough talking. All actions spoke for themselves. All actions are still speaking. Im just a young black man that fell in love. Trying to put the pieces to the puzzle back together. I got half of it back, thats my half. Its the kind of puzzle where you get a complete picture without the other half. Meaning its not imperative for success or completion of the puzzle.
Too much confidence, and ambition.
I just tried to show a young lady that she was the world to me, i meant every word, and was truly remorseful. Doing things where i knew i would get criticized/laughed at. But love is a hell of a drug. I just wanted bliss for US.

Far from a Harvard student, just had the balls to do it.
Went for number one on your list. Fuck this.

If you can't respect that, then your whole perspective is wack. Maybe you'll love me when i fade to black.

Finish Your Breakfast.

"I did not do these things to show out, i did not do these things to impress you, bc to tell you the truth when i leave here i am gone. And i don't care what you think about me. But just remember when it hits the fan, whether its next year, 10 years, or 20 years from now you'll never be able to say that this brother didn't try to get you back"

You're far too kind.

My last.

Heard they love it when I'm hard on hoes, said a G don't give a bitch no keys or security codes. I agree my lady aint no bitch, She gets whatever I own; so when you see her understand thats me nigga. Understand I'm da some ol' G nigga. I know da difference between a bitch and a B nigga.

White!

Shoutout to Crest for keeping my teeth clean and having me feeling like a million bucks before I leave the house every morning!

Truth is.

Everyday we run into people, some people stay for a season, some stay for a lifetime. But what I have learned is, those who are supposed to be there, will be there, and those who aren't will be gone.

I have acted out of character lately because of a tragedy that took place. Yea, it should have affected me, but it shouldn't have gotten as bad as it did. The only reason it got that bad is because I didn't want to accept what was right in front of my face. But I have accepted it and i'm handling it. Forreal. My grades, body, mind, heart have all taken turns for the worse. Bad things are going to happen in life and you just have to let it be. People are going to be really mean, but you have to let them be. You just have to know that you can never stoop down to that level.

"They say if you love it, you should let it out of its cage, and fuck it, if it comes back, then you know it's there to stay"

Im black, 20 years old, handsome, I have had 4 jobs that I got on my OWN, never been in trouble with the law, graduated from high school, attend a University, I have 65 credit hours as a sophomore soon to have 80 at the end of this semester, 3.2 GPA, I am loving, caring, not spiteful.. And i have big plans for my future. It is BRIGHT.
Im not perfect, I just make mistakes thats all.. but shit who doesn't?

Obama on Yeezy.



What to make of the gripping news from The Atlantic that President Obama stands by his assessment that Kanye is "a jackass"? If you're someone who can't get enough of the regular-guy, Al-Green-singing, Wire-loving, dad-jeans-on-the-weekend Obama, the exchange below is probably headed directly to your Tumblr. If, on the other hand, you're someone who goes berserk every time it's proven that Obama hangs out in fancy Manhattan restaurants, clinks glasses with the one-percenters he's so keen on taxing, and drops pop culture references in a self-congratulatory manner, then, well, this is probably headed straight to your Tumblr, too. As for the underlying question of Yeezy vs. HOVA, we'll borrow from the Chief Executive's energy policy and vote for an all-of-the-above strategy.
SO HERE IS the president of the United States, enjoying canapés and small talk at Daniel, chef Daniel Boulud's gourmet restaurant just off Park Avenue, with the right touch of upscale-whorehouse decor and enough Alice Waters in the kitchen to make it the place where every Wall Street guy takes his wife on bonus night. The drill for tonight is two fund-raisers at Daniel, to be followed by an even more intimate sit-down dinner at Spike Lee's house, before the motorcade heads uptown to the Apollo, in Harlem, where Barack Obama once lived in a ratty student apartment, less than 50 blocks but light-years away from the perfumed dining room where he is answering questions and posing for pictures and name-checking Ralph Ellison and Saul Bellow. I get my chance to ask him the question of the moment, the question that everyone who has bought the album or spent $150 on a concert ticket wants answered. "I have a question I want to ask you, Mr. President," I venture, once I catch his attention.
"Sure," the president says.
"Kanye or Jay-Z?"
The president smiles. "Jay-Z," he says, as if the answer should be obvious. When it comes to the most meaningful pop-cultural divide of the moment, the question of whether you prefer Kanye West or Jay-Z—the top two hip-hop artists in the world, who recently joined forces for a national mega-tour called Watch the Throne—Barack Obama is clearly a Jay-Z guy. Jay-Z is about control. Jay-Z is about success. He's a natural-born leader. He is married to Beyoncé Knowles, the gorgeous, sugar-spun R&B star who recently joined with Michelle Obama in a public campaign against the epidemic of childhood obesity. Together, Jay and Beyoncé are worth something close to $1 billion. Jay-Z fills arenas and enunciates clearly—unlike Kanye West, who jumps onstage and interrupts during award ceremonies, cries on talk shows, and jets off to Rome to apprentice with the House of Fendi. Besides, the president's smile says, we are at a fund-raiser in New York, which is Jay-Z's hometown.
"Although I like Kanye," Obama continues, with an easy smile. "He's a Chicago guy. Smart. He's very talented." He is displaying his larger awareness of the question, looking relaxed, cerebral but friendly, alive to the moment, waiting for me to get to the heart of the matter.
"Even though you called him a jackass?," I ask.
"He is a jackass," Obama says, in his likable and perfectly balanced modern-professorial voice. "But he's talented." The president gives a wink, poses for a few more pictures, and then glides away to meet with the rich Manhattan lawyers in the other room, leaving behind a verdict that he intended to be funny, and also entirely deliberate: even before an audience of one, the leader of the free world is still not letting Kanye West off the hook.

Struggle.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do in certain situations. All you can do is try your hardest, and hope for the best.
When your effort goes unnoticed or you get no reward for it. Don't consider it a failure. As long as you have made your point known, and have given proof. You have done enough, that in itself is success. Now it's time to sit back and let God handle the rest.

God will put you where he wants you...
Its not giving up. Its putting your faith in him.

I am not stupid. Im not giving up, I tried my hardest. I have done more than enough. Now i have to let God go to work.
Never give up.
Wish more people in the world had my will, and determination. If things get better it will all be good. If not. I will get over it. Pain is temporary.

If I Died Today.

I wonder if I died today who would come to my funeral...
Everybody says "if I died today" but no one truly thinks about it. Think about it now, are you satisfied with what is going on in your life? If your life ended right after you read this, would you be happy with how you handled all situations, that you have control over, in your life: good or bad?
We go through life and know that some things will go our way, but others will not. The way you handle those situations that don't go your way will have more influence on your happiness and your satisfaction. People are not judged on the way they handle triumph, they are judged on the way they handle negativity.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Do things because you want to do them, not for what you will receive in return.
Punish less, forgive more.
Do what makes you happy. 
Strive to be the best at everything you do.
Take chances.
Live YOUR life.

What If?

"What if"? "What if" I hit the lotto? "What if" I failed a class? "What if" I do good? "What if" I do bad?
"What if" humans were perfect, then everyone would be successful. Humans are not perfect, we work for perfection knowing that, perfection is impossible to achieve. People are so scared to fail that they ask "what if". When did we become so scared of struggle or failure? When did success EVER come easy? Anything worth having will take work. Not asking what if, and just doing it, is doing nothing but taking a risk!! What if you have the opportunity to take a risk, and the risk you take could lead to great things? You will never know, because instead of taking action, you stood back and asked "what if". "What if" you don't take a risk and everything else goes bad because you were too scared to take a risk...

Don't be scared. Take risks. After all we take them every day. Don't be scared of triumph. Stop making excuses and make things happen.

"Gotta Have It"


Hurting!!

My back, chest, and stomach HURT! And to make things worse my arm still isn't 100%, I have to deal with random pains all day long. I do not mind dealing with pain, but this shit has to go!! I need a massage, and a hot shower or bath. Oh and some pain killers of course.

They say the pain is temporary. But right now I just wish it did NOT exist.

Pure Comedy!!

Wow.

No man should ever have to go through what I just did, in the gym.

Anybody in there right mind would say thats piss poor. I am appalled. Smh.

Delicious!

Lobster tail, grilled shrimp, macaroni with shrimp in it, broccoli, and fries... I want another plate please!?

Crazy World.

Damn my cousin just took a major loss. A loss that I couldn't imagine taking. I hope he can make it through this. I know he is tore up. I have prayed and will continue to pray for him through this tough time. We're gonna make it!!!

Family Above All.

Keep it real.

"Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, an hour, a day, or even a year. But eventually when the pain subsides, something else will take its place. But if I quit it will last forever."
