Watching myself grow up..

Nowadays I'm watching myself grow up. Things that matter, dont matter anymore. I dont think the same anymore. the way I want to handle certain situations have changed. People that use to matter dont, and I just dont care. Im growing out of them.

A couple of my friends and I were talking the other day about who we thought we would still be friends with in the future. I pretty much had a good idea of that by the time I graduated from high school, but now its even more clear.

Im definitely not the same person I was 2 years ago.. im not even the person I was a year ago, or when I went to college. I remember when I came to college, i was always hanging out around campus, meeting a bunch of people, making moves professinally. Then second semester came, and more of that didnt really matter anymore. I went into hiding basically. I couldnt even tell you how many times I heard "Yo, where have you been?!". lol. It all got really old to me really fast. All the parties are the same, I got tired of seeing the same people. So i didnt...

I use to be all about money. Money Money Money. When I came to college, i began shedding that mind. I began to realize how insignificant it was. Now im working on giving back. Im working on giving scholarships, and even more than that, im giving time. My first week back from school I got a bunch of high school students together, and I got several of my friends together to discuss the first year experience. People arent really doing that, so students go in blind, or naive. Thats when they either drop out after the first year, become a hoe, or both. lol. But that was fun though, i enjoyed myself, my panel enjoyed it, the students and parents did as well.

This was an extremely random post.. im sure you can tell though...

Letter to my unborn son..

Rule #22
The world is yours for the taking

There will be a tipping point. A moment when your knuckles whiten and begin to hurt. As you watch as you slowly begin crossing the line. A day when your personal levee breaks and you find yourself standing waist deep. A time when the final domino tilts "the calm before the culmination" of some grand plan you unknowingly put into effect. But there is a reason for it all.

For some of us, it’s the light switch we never knew we had inside us. For others, it’s the familiar feeling of waking up one day with the absurdity of having nothing to look forward to but the end of the week. And knowing. That things can’t possibly go on like this. Somewhere along the way, it became acceptable for the world to live with mediocrity. Someone who lives on autopilot until the gears stop. Living too cautiously is like sky diving without a parachute. A smooth ride above the ground, until it becomes a landing your boredom won’t let you get away from.

There may not be a blueprint. I wont make you one, and 9 times out of 10, you wont find one. There may not be a trail of breadcrumbs that leads us through the woods to the man you were meant to be. But. There are other ways. Regardless of how firmly our feet are planted, the world will continue to spin beneath us. In spite of our best laid plans, those ambitions we’ve tried to bury will come yanking at our shirt tail. For obvious reasons, there are those of us that would let their pleas fall on deaf ears. The puppet’s dance is an easy-one. "Life by the numbers." Assuming you’re comfortable living with strings attached and discarded dreams being swept under your carpet. For some of us, there will come a tipping point. A moment when the dominoes stagger before they fall. A day when we look around and realize... the world is OURS, but only if we have the courage to step out of line, grab it by the horns.. and take it.


Love,
Your Father

Its all uncharted...

Its been too long...

Its been too long since ive posted some real content on here. More than a quick song. Its been a while since ive talked on here. HAd a good conversation with this blog. So in addition to all the things I have to do this weekend, im goign to commit to writing at least 2 post to update give an update of whats going through my head nowadays... it should be interesting stay tuned.

In short.... Drake is BACK

This is the first single off of Drake's upcoming EP "TAKE CARE". The song is titled Dreams money can buy.

Nipsey Hussle Ft June Summers- Bigger than life

This is probably my favorite song on the whole mixtape (The Marathon). Then "Love" is a close second. Nipsey HUssle is a real artist that puts out real music. I like the fact that there is no auto tune used by him or June, and I can understand every word he says.

Nipsey Hussle-Love

When I first heard of this dude last year, without listening to his music, I wrote him off as a rapper I dont want to hear. I came to this conclusion just from his name, assuming that he was all about drugs, girls, and money. But I heard this song this past weekend in a friends car, and it changed my perspective on him forever. Ive been listening to all of his mixtapes and im actually liking what I hear.

Hmmmm,,,Fox news....

Why cant I be MVP?

Derrick Rose Hightlight mix + NBA MVP acceptance Speech

Congrats Derrick. I didnt doubt you, that was all Dwayne, but I'm sure he's eating his words now.
