Lil Wayne-Pray to the Lord

My sophomore year in high school, I listened to this song every day, once before i went to sleep and like 10 times before i left the house in the morning. Nowadays this song has been replaced by "The calm" By Drake, and the whole House of Balloons mixtape.

Aloe Blacc-I need a Dollar

Just heard this guy while flipping through the channels. I like his sound. think ill look up more of his stuff.

Letter to my unborn son..."If"...

Rule #21

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—-and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—-which is more—-you’ll be a Man, my son!"

— Rudyard Kipling, “If”

Will Smith in action: One of the best actors of all time.

Not to many rappers can go from doing what they do, to being a GOOD actor. But Will Smith pretty much mastered it. So did Queen Latifah, and Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg)

But this clip shows why Will Smith is one of the best actors of all time. And my personal favorite....

None of it counts if you dont graduate!

"None of it counts if you dont graduate". I heard this ealier today before I got up to do one of my slave task(speaking engagement)... When he said that I kind of titled my head, you know.. like dogs do when they see you do something out of the ordinary. Im going to have to say that I disagree with him.. You learn so much more along the way!
A wihile back I did a post about what I learned in high school.. And honestly I wouldnt trade any of that for the world. And im only about to finish my first year and Ive already leaned so much.. think about it.. What do you learn from graduating? How to walk down an aisle in a single line? How that help you in the real world.. what will you do the day after graduation?

It alll counts... whether you graduate or not. This sounds like one of those things ill be telling my children down the road.. but I dont think ill tell them until they graduate...Ive always pictured graduation as something for the parents, for their own satisfaction. When I was in high school, I would have been perfectly fine allowing the school to just mail my diploma!

Speaking of kids, when was the last time I wrote a letter to them?

These will be the best memories....

I think this was probably one of the realest music video ive ever seen in my life. Big ups to Big Sean..
