Redefining the Beast redefines possibility
Right now is an incredibly interesting time for me.Not right now, like this very second but.. Right now as in This moment in my life. I can feel something happening–changes…in me, in my world. Nothing I want to make public right now, but I was inspired to share a little something.
I’ve been standing in my own way. Fears, insecurities, and uncertainties have all been bullying my greatness. In retrospect, I see I must have believed my greatness wasn’t great enough to win–at least not then. But what a crazy thought.
“Who do I think I am? Well I know I get to choose who I am.”
- Harry O’Brien
I choose to completely believe in myself and my dreams, in things not yet seen on this dimension, but just as existent as anything our senses prove to be real.
Most of us have been holding ourself back.(even if we dont realize it) Release the beast– not your lower or darker self– but the greatness in you that can destroy everything that’s been threatening it if you believe in it and give it a chance.
We are always in the process of becoming. Becoming what? You get to choose.
Think about it

Wale- Diary (Poem)
See All I Wanna Do Is Be Relevant,
Just Tell Me That I Ever Meant Anything More,
That You Could Ever See Me And You In Another Light,
But Its Like The Dark Women Indoors In The Darkest Nights By The Wrong Man,
See All Of Them Have Made You Incapable Of A First Impression,
What It Do Is I Channel My Aggression With No Cable Or Antenna,
Just Intentions To Impress You If Capable,
Hoping That The Material Possessions Can Materialize To A Better You,
Cars, Nothing I Drive Can Drive You Out Of This State Of Mind,
For Such An Ugly Picture And,
Money, Nothing I Buy Can Buy More Time For Your Ears To Tell Your Heart To Listen to It,
Diamonds, A Girls Best Friend Is What They Say But Believe Me With The Right Allegiance Shorty You Gonna Shine Anyways,
And Everyday That Goes By Is A Couple More Lines In Her Diary,
The Day Before Is Better Than The Present,
So Anyone Presented In Her Presence Is Doing These Life Sentences,
There’s No Key For Release,
No Reason To Be Around,
Her Minds In The Clouds,
She Writes It All Down,
In Her Diary…
This is a great song.. and also.. What Im listening to now.

OK let me clear the air..
So yeah, there has been so much going on lately. And i just though id clear the air and let you knnow how it is.. Since we are on the topic, ill start here...
"Crossing Waters"
No i cant say that i like her. I probably could like her. But like Destini said.. I wont let myself. If i did, not only would i be like everyone else. But then id get feelings and stuff. And id start to care about the things she does. I dont really have time time to be catching feelings for anyone else right now. Im fine being the friend, that doesnt care. Like, Someone came up to me this past week like... "Dave, i think thomas is trying to put the moves on Bridgette"... I responded by saying.. "As much as i would like to care about what you just said.. I dont, thats Johns problem".. Then he proceded to say "Yeah i know shes with john, but you and i both know that he doesnt give a shit about her, and i think shes a dumb strag, but i really HATE Thomas, so when you see them two talking.. Just walk up and cock block hard as hell...." Lol, I thought this was a pretty hilarious conversation... But anywho, the point is, if i allowed myself to like her.. Id actually care if other guys tried to talk to her, especially him. But no, i laugh and make joke about all the guys she has drooling over her. Sometimes when we are out together, people way say things like, "She's beautiful"... My response is always "Yeah i guess she looks alright... ive seen better... But shes cool"..We will be just friends forever. Deal with it! youre wrong!! HAHAHAHA!
Yettie
Well, i dont like this girl either. The only reason why i even play along with her and her friends little game is becasue im not too fond of her ex boyfriend. (so ill definitely be cock blocking... everything i can,lol) And the rumors arent true. YEah we were all together that night, honestly, there is some truth to the story, but what most people are hearing, is not the truth. Personally i think people should mind their business. BUt yeah... I had more to say about all of this, but im not in the writing mood so this is all for now!Thank you and youre welcome

Beautiful Bliss By Wale ft J. Cole and Melanie Fiona
This has sort of been my anthem for today, a great song, on a beautiful day..
Convention of those wounded in love by Paulo Coelho
General provisions:
A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct;
B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battle field, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number;
It is hereby decreed that:
Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both.
Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, they should immediately ask the archer to shoot the same arrow in the opposite direction, so as not to be afflicted by the wound known as “unrequited love”. Should Cupid refuse to perform such a gesture, the Convention now being promulgated demands that the wounded partner remove the arrow from his/her heart and throw it in the garbage. In order to guarantee this, those concerned should avoid telephone calls, messages over the Internet, sending flowers that are always returned, or each and every means of seduction, since these may yield results in the short run but always end up wrong after a while. The Convention decrees that the wounded person should immediately seek the company of other people and try to control the obsessive thought: “this person is worth fighting for”.
Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden. In this case, it is allowed to use tears until the eyes dry up, to punch walls or pillows, to insult the ex-partner in conversations with friends, to allege his/her complete lack of taste, but without offending their honor. The Convention determines that the rule contained in Article 2 be applied: seek the company of other persons, preferably in places different from those frequented by the other party.
Article 4 – In the case of light wounds, herein classified as small treacheries, fulminating passions that are short-lived, passing sexual disinterest, the medicine called Pardon should be applied generously and quickly. Once this medicine has been applied, one should never reconsider one’s decision, not even once, and the theme must be completely forgotten and never used as an argument in a fight or in a moment of hatred.
Article 5 – In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time. It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day.
Final determination:
Those wounded in love, unlike those wounded in armed conflict, are neither victims nor torturers. They chose something that is part of life, and so they have to accept both the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.
And those who have never been wounded in love will never be able to say: “I have lived”. Because they haven’t.

Hmmm....
via www.Harrysworld.com.au
Today I met a lady who told me that I was wasting my time with social media. She said that it was a waste of time and that “we (society) don’t need it, especially twitter”
I took a few deep breaths and listened to her opinions then tried to explain that it is a very powerful tool that should be embraced and used in a positive way. She continued to tell me “we don’t need it!” and expressed her hatred of twitter and other forms of social media.
I again took a few deep breaths to try to think of something prudent to say then out of nowhere a cool analogy came to me. I said in a very respectful way;
“It’s true we don’t ‘need’ social media just like how you don’t ‘need’ to wear make up. And depending on how you apply it, it can be either positive or negative.”
I certainly did not come across as rude, but it did make her stop and think about the analogy.
Ambition over Adversity
Take one’s adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in something
Believe in yourself
Turn adversity into ambition
Now blossom into wealth
- Tupac Shakur
Friend and Fruit
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
I don’t waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin’ me cause I can’t please you
And that’s why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
- Erykah Badu
