THE SICKNESS OF LOVE, PART 1

        NOW THIS NOTE COMES FROM THE DEEP PIT OF MY STOMACH AND I HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST. FELLAS, WE ALL KNOW WE CAN BE AS*****S TO OUR WOMEN BUT WHY A WOMAN HAS TO CARRY THAT CRAP TO ANOTHER MAN. LADIES, WHY HOLD ON TO OLD LUGGAGE AND PUT IT ON ANOTHER MAN AS HE’S THE ISSUE OF YOUR INSECURITY. I FIND IT AMAZING A COMEDIAN CAN WRITE A BOOK TO INSTRUCT A WOMAN TO THINK LIKE A MAN IS A PURE NO NO TO GOD IN MY OPINION. WHAT HAPPEN TO GOIN TO GOD FOR ADVICE?
          I FEEL ITS AN INSULT TO ASK A THERAPIST ABOUT HOW YOU DO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WHEN 90% OF THEM HAVEN’T EVEN GOT AN ANSWER TO THEIR OWN PROBLEMS. NOW WHEN A MAN SCREWS UP , HE GETS HIS BUSINESS EXPOSED WHETHER ITS FACEBOOK, TWITTER OR THE STREETS SO MAKES HER THINK THAT MAN SHOULD TAKE YOU BACK?? WHEN A WOMAN EXPOSES A MAN THEN THEY DROP THIS LAME LINE, “CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?” AND I’M LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING TO SAY THAT WHEN WE CAN’T GET THAT TYPE OF APOLOGY AND ITS NOT EVEN EASY. WHY DO WOMEN THINK OF PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON GUYS WHO WOULD FIGHT BACK BUT WHEN A CAT DOES IT, WOMEN TRY THIS CONCEPT OF THEY FEEL LOVED IF HE HIT ME….WTF!!! 
           TODAY MEN AND WOMEN ARE BACKWARDS IN ANY RELATIONSHIP CAUSE OF TOO MUCH PAST EXPERIENCES WITH NO GODLY INFLUENCES FROM THE CHURCH, A PASTOR OR EVEN SOMEONE WHO CAN TELL YOU TRUTHFULLY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRUE LOVE UNLESS YOU WORK FOR IT. AS THE MORRIS DAY SONG SAYS, “LOVE IS A GAME, YOU GOTTA PLAY TO WIN OR YOU PLAY TO SURVIVE” AND THATS TRULY DEEP FROM AN ORIGINAL PLAYA. SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN SIT DOWN AND THINK TO SELF DO YOU AND YOUR WOMEN TAKE YOUR ISSUES TO GOD INSTEAD OF SOCIAL NETWORKS AND REMEMBER A LOVING COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER FOREVER

MY WEST COAST EXPERIENCE, Part 1

      NOW THIS NOTE IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN CALI WHO’S GIVEN ME LOVE, RESPECT AND SUPPORT FOR COMING TO A PLACE THAT’S GIVEN ME MORE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY THAN EVER. NOW I HAVE STROLLED DOWN THE L.A. STREETS AT NIGHT AND THINK TO MY SELF……DAMN!!! I AM IN HOLLYWOOD!!!!
     CALIFORNIA IS NOT WHAT CONSERVATIVE SAY BUT ITS A DIFFERENT VIBE AND I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THE SITUATION. I HAVE MET WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY AND ITS A BLESSING TO BE AROUND REAL PEOPLE AND NOT PRETENDERS WHO THINK THEY KNOW. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO’LL SAY YOU NOT FROM THE WEST BUT YOU REPPIN IT SO HERE’S MY PHILOSOPHY, I WAS BORN IN NATION’S CAPITAL AND WENT THROUGH SEVERAL STAGES OF CITIES  BUT NOTHIN LIKE CALI. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS WHEN I BASED MY SPOT AT IS WHAT I REP TO THE FULLEST BUT NEVER FORGET WHERE I COME FROM.
      I DO NOT DEAL WITH FAKE INDIVIDUALS AND AT THIS STAGE I RATHER HAVE A POSITIVE CAMP IN MY LIFE. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN THE 7 CITIES AREA I LEARNED THE BASICS OF EARLY LIFE AND THEN WENT BACK TO D.C. TO WHERE LIFE BEGAN. MUSIC WAS THE ONLY BANDAGE TO MY PAIN AND D.C. WAS THE FIRST STOP THAT GAVE ME MORE FOCUS ON THE GO GO SCENE AND RAP BUT WHEN WEST COAST RAP MUSIC CAME INTO MY LIFE I WAS SOLE SUPPORTER OF THE GENRE AND CAUSE.
     WHEN I SAW THE BLACK HATS OF THE RAIDERS AND THE KINGS I FEEL THAT ONE DAY I WOULD VENTURE INTO THE CAPITAL OF ENTERTAINMENT AND THE ORIGINAL GANGSTA NATION OF AMERICA. I HAVE MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR MY WEST COAST COMRADS AND MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY FOR SHOWING PURE CALIFORNIA LOVE. SO I DO NOT CARE IF YOU FEEL THAT I BETRAY MY HOMETOWN BUT I STILL CONTACT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS BACK EAST REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS.
     LOS ANGELES IS THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITY IF YOU REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR CRAFT AND DREAMS. MY HEART IS IN CALIFORNIA AND I WANNA EXPLORE ALL ASPECTS OF IT CAUSE ITS NOW BETTER TO LIVE IN IT INSTEAD OF PEOPLE’S OPINION. I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE PEOPLE CAUSE IT HAS THAT VIBE THAT ONLY YOU HAVE TO BE HERE TO EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF. I STILL HAVE LOVE FOR MY PEEPS BACK EAST BUT THIS WHERE I BELONG AND THIS IS THE DREAM I’VE HAD SINCE I WAS 5. I AM BLESSED TO BE HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND TO BE PART OF AN AMAZING CAMP, PRO MUSIC RECORDS IS MY CAMP PERIOD SO DON’T EVEN GO THERE!!!
I WANNA THANK ALL THE LOVE AND TRUE FRIENDSHIPS FROM LOS ANGELES TO COMPTON TO LONG BEACH TO OAKLAND AND HOPEFULLY I PLAN TO VISIT MORE SPOTS AND GIVE LOVE AND RESPECT TO MY NEW HOME SO IF ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT……..KICK ROCKS AND GET A MUTHAF*&%^#  LIFE AND STAY OUT MINES!!!!

The Prayer of the Week

The problem with many of us is that we don’t believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won’t have enough room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His Word. God cannot lie and His promises are sure. Three things will happen to you this coming week: (1) You will find favour with someone you don’t expect; (2) You will be too relevant to be ignored; (3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same. So my prayer for you today: “The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labour in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever.” Remain in God’s love as you repost this prayer to everybody on your friends list…

I'M PROUD TO BE PART OF MY MIXED HERITAGE

         FOR MOST OF MY LIFE I’VE HAD MANY PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT MY HERITAGE IS BLACK ONLY BUT TO ALL YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN. MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER WAS WHITE/CHEROKEE INDIAN AND IT SHOCKED THE HELL OUT OF ME KNOWING MY BLOOD HAS WHITE IN THE MIX ALONG WITH AFRO AMERICAN AND PROBABLY OTHER ETHNICS. SO SOME OF YOU KNOW MY MARRIAGE IS BY AN ITALIAN-IRISH AMERICAN FEMALE WHICH OUR CULTURES CLASH BECAUSE OF TRADITION BUT MAINLY IGNORANCE. THE DAY I TOOK A PICTURE OF HER AT 18 THE KIDS RIDICULED ME BUT I LET IT BE KNOWN I WAS PROUD TO BE WHO I WAS.

          I WAS BORN WITH A MIXED HERITAGE FROM MY MOTHER WAS BORN IN THE SOUTH AND MY DAD WAS BORN IN THE NORTH SO I ‘VE HAD THE BEST AND LEAST OF BOTH WORLDS. MY BIRTHPLACE(D.C.) IS WHERE I LEARNED THE VALUES OF TRUE FAMILYHOOD AND WHAT TRUE MEANING OF BEING A CHILD WITH DIFFERENT HERITAGES. WHERE I GREW UP(NORFOLK, VA. BEACH, N.C.) WAS MY TRADITIONAL UPBRINGING ABOUT WHAT WAS ONCE TRUE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY WHICH NOW IS A BIG FAT JOKE DUE TO MY FAMILY DISOWNED ME BECAUSE OF MY MARRIAGE.
         PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE THE STATEMENT ABOUT HIS WHITE GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS AGAINST THE TIMES THAT MADE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE AS A YOUTH. WE SHOULD STOP TO REALIZE WHERE DO WE COME FROM ORIGINALLY I KNOW ABOUT 6 GENERATIONS FROM MY FAMILY IN THE SOUTH AND MY PEEPS IN D.C. HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING OUR FAMILY TREE FOR NEARLY A DECADE SO WE’RE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN WHAT THE PAST HAS TO SAY. TO THE GENERATION TODAY DON’T DISRESPECT A WHITE PERSON WHO COULD BE YOUR RELATIVE EVEN IF THEY ARE RACIST CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WE COULD BE RELATED TO.

LOVE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AND READY TO FULFILL MY DESTINY

  Originally written January 26, 2009
   TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU WANNA LAY DOWN AND DIE but LIFE IS WHAT IT IS. FOR THE PAST 34 1/2 YEARS ON THIS EARTH I’VE EXPERIENCED ALL KINDS OF CRAZY SITUATIONS THAT I CAN SAY I’M BLESSED TO BE ALIVE. SOON MY WIFE WILL UNDERSTAND WHY THIS LOVE IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT? WOMEN HAVE PUT MEN AS THE MAIN VILLAIN IN ALL RELATIONSHIP FUCK UPS but WHO’S REALLY TO BLAME? IS IT THE WOMEN WHO ARE LOYAL TO THEIR LOVE OR IS THE MEN WHO TRY TO FULFILL THE ULTIMATE DREAM? THE MAIN REASON THAT A BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND RELATIONSHIP DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE THERE’S NO RING IN THE COMMITTMENT but WORDS OF PROMISES AND RULES OF THE GAME. THE REASON WHY MARRIAGE IS SO SACRED IS THERE ARE RULES FROM THE COURTS AND GOD ESPECIALLY. SO IF YOU’RE STILL IN Bf/GF RELATIONSHIP IT’S STILL PUPPY LOVE UNTIL IT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING SPECIAL. I CAN SAY I KNOW THE FEELING WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I HOPE TO GOD MY INTUITION IS NOT WRONG BUT TIME WILL TELL THE STORY. TODAY WILL MARK MY LOVE UNDER A NEW MANAGEMENT AND TO FULFILL MY LIFE LONG DESTINY AND THERE’S NO DRAMA ON THIS PLANET THAT CAN DESTROY THAT AT LEAST.

The Top Ten Reasons Why Arn Anderson Is The Greatest Wrestler Of All Time

1. Always gave it his all in the ring. Arn had a tremendous workrate and always put on a fantastic show. He gave everyone their money’s worth and something to look forward to.
2. His persona. One of the things that makes Arn so great is that he is so real. No gimmicks, no games. More than any other wrestler in the sport today, Arn was a real person in the ring. As much as I like Ric Flair, he’s a married man…those pretty girls on his arm don’t “ride Space Mountain”.<!-- See this <A HREF="intrview.htm">Arn Anderson interview from a "real" newspaper to understand what I'm talking about. He goes "out of character", but you learn his character is the same as the real person.--><!-- Commented out per request from author. -->
3. Fantastic interviewing skills. A no-nonsense guy, he doesn’t hoot, holler, or mug at the camera. He looks straight at you, and doesn’t mince words. And the thumb across the throat at the end of the interview is legendary.
4. True toughness. Aside from the fact that he, in real life, is deceptively strong for his size, he successfully defended himself against a much bigger man with a pair of scissors on a ‘roid rage.
5. His success in tag teams. Wrestling, like any business, requires you to work closely with others. The difficulties working together in professional wrestling take on another dimension because of its physical nature. To be pushed as a world tag team champion with four different partners shows how well he can work with others.
6. Arn is a company man. Although not involved in the front office, Arn bought in to every angle and did his best to put it over. Although he may regret some, such as Robocop, it shows his true company loyalty. He knows which side his bread is buttered on.
7. Even though a 14 year veteran who had paid his dues, Arn did not reduce his schedule. While many of superstars of today have contracts that limit the amount they have to work, Arn traveled the country night after night plying his craft. The fact he has won four world television titles is a testament to his work ethic.
8. Can sell moves extremely well. The look of fear in his eyes when backed into a corner is very convincing. His delivery of the spinebuster and wild punches when semi-conscious are always a crowd-pleaser.
9. No gimmicks. Arn never wore face paint, never had a goofy outfit. What you see was a reflection of the man outside the ring.
10. The Four Horsemen. Last, but certainly not least, he’s an original member of the premier organization in all of pro fessional sports
