Life without... Seems lonley


Life sometimes seems to be willing to bend for the right souls. It is sometimes evident in the lives in which we live that stories of old will unfold. I am puzzled however. I am puzzled because of what my eyes have witnessed and my ears have heard. Equal opportunity is here for the taking or at least I have seen signs that we are masters of our fates and controllers of our destiny. It does at times seem like we are failing ourselves because we can not live without.... or should I say we can not live within..... I struggle just like the next person with the hardships of life and the mental aspect of keeping priorities etc. in order especially when I wish I could reach more people with the truth behind the lies and misconceptions that we have to live through. It is indeed a lonely place. So lonely in fact that the more we try to teach, the more we are torn apart at the seams. Could we imagine how it would be if we just faced truth and not just looked at the awful made up facts that we are constantly fed. I would love to say that my respect for authority was based upon the ethical lies and miscues that have lead to destruction and poverty and death. I am not a conspiracy guy nor am I for excuses. I believe that what is evident is what we see.. but how can we see when we are constantly blinded by all that we should not be concerned with at all. If the light that we have is the light that will guide us ... will it be visible to those blinded by the corruption of the nights veil of innocence.
Now that it is growing near time to revive our thought processes and see that we are victims of senseless programming even when we do not fully understand that we have been programmed. But even though we should understand this .... we can not fully grasp the thought of having to start over .... The beginning is often the hardest since we have no time frame til the end. I myself refuse to become a prisoner of the process of what we call success...... only measured by that which makes those who set the bar for success richer or more powerful..... I myself am the only one that contains the power over me ..... That is why I am the master of my fate .... guiding that which will define or defeat me..... This is why I would live without.... if the truth will separated me .... that is the loneliness that I will accept.......
Thanks.... for reading

Mind Missing Matter ..... Facts ... of... Life


Economic turmoil, housing crisis, Subprime mortgage issues, Terrorist Threats, Black on black violence, Crime rates of major cities, Ecoli outbreak, West Nile Virus, Homeland Security, Small pox threats, TB outbreaks, Aids pandemeic, Teenage Pregnancy, Child Obesity, false prophecies, Unfair treatment of individuals by Authorites, unfair trials, Stock market and the FED, The Patriot ACT, and more .... Kind of sounds like the news headlines right. I call it frustration. I am totally for sharing the news ... but this campaign of fear is getting totally out of hand. I can not understand how everything in the world is so bad and humans beings are no longer safe working ... walking.... drinking or eating.... well is it truth or just more of the same. I tend to subscribe to the field of thought that it is just more of the same. How can we ever successfully have a nice calm relaxing afternoon with the thought of a terrorist attack ... could happen at any time you know ... especially since they raise the terror alert level with the drop of a pin...... Its the order of things I guess

I am really not sure what to expect from day to day ... but who is..... ? Well it must be those who have no TV, no electriciy and live off the earth in isolation ... (stress free lifestyle) .... I only know that we are fully capable of overcomming the campaign of fear... but its hard especially if you become a victim of something ... like stereotyping .... profiling ... etc. When are we going to say I am fed up with being treated any way they want ..... its almost as if we like being treated in such ways :-( well we don't .... but its almost funny how frustrating it is that it is a fact of life that sometimes it is where you are that means the most ... not where you are going and not even where you are from. I am not trying to pull anyone into any specific train of thought, I just want people to understand that we are only as strong as the knowledge we obtain on our own and pass down to our younger generations ...... We MUST SAVE THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE. I am attempting to do such on a daily basis but again it is frustrating when the media outlets glorify that which we should be fighting to destroy. WE NEED TO START AT HOME. 'Now that is a revelation' well maybe not.... but we need to start close to home ... there is so much ... too much work to be done in our neighborhoods. Belive me these problems are not just limited to the inner city, they are everywhere .... from the suburbs to capitol hill. Hopefully, I will be able to contain this frustration. But for now ...... I am only one of many that has to work to save a generation that the elders seem to have forgotten exists .... or refuse to manage to think about until election time, or until one of theirs is affected by the mess thatwas left behind when we began to integrate...

A story for the ages ..... never know who can teach

I was told a story once by a man that no one ever seemed to stop and listen to..... One day, I was in a rush and didn't want to be late so as I approached this man, I could only think that I am going to be late and I do not want this man to say anything to me today. When I saw him, I immediately started to look for ways that our path would not cross. I did not want to walk by him on the same side of the street and even more, I did not want him to say a word to me for fear that this smelly, poorly dressed, dirty old man would try something with me and not just make me late for work, but I even thought he might try to harm me.


As I approached him on this day, I looked and decided to say hello. Once I said hello, he said let me tell you something... I have been waiting on you to come down here so that I could let you know this ... at that point he grabbed my arm and I was totally shocked and even frightened by his movements. Then I said to him what do you have to tell me that is so important this morning....Quickly ... now .... hurry up before I am late. He just sat down and looked into his hand for a moment while wiping his brow with the other one. I then looked at him a little perplexed but I was unaware that he was about to speak ... so I just began to walk off when I felt a tug at my arm..... he then said "look at me boy look at me .... "
At that point, I thought to myself what is it that he could possibly want ... what is it .....
Then he just looked at me and said thanks..... then I wondered again what does this man want ... so I said excuse me sir .... is there something that you want to say ... I would love to hear what you have on your mind.... then at that moment, he said to me ... you know I often wondered what it felt like to be treated with the respect of man not on the street but a man. So this is what I have to say to you .... " You can never truly tell someone how nice their house is, if you never took the time to straighten your own." I know this sounds odd ... so I asked what ... then he quietly looked at me and said ... "How can you demand respect from those different from you when you never respected those that are like you? In other words young man .... always remember that you are what you represent .... and until you truly figure out what you represent ... can you truly figure out who you are".... (wow I thought ) ... But then as I began to think he said again .... "Only then will you be respected, only then can you command the respect that you deserve... "
I can only imagine what you all may suggest this means or what it may represent..... I know .... and I will say for me ..... With everything that is going on .... especially in today's world, we must look in the mirror and respect all of what we see .... and clean up our homes (within ourselves and our communities) before we demand that which we do not demand of each other ( please give the same respect that we demand from others outside our communities) .... only then, will we be able defeat that which is stacked up against us to find the truth........... the real truth ...... that which no one wishes you to have ...... then you will see the end of the book .... that book called life....

Let Us Remember .....


Let us remember what we have done and accomplished in the years since September 11, 2001. It is unusal how united we became immediately after the incident. I can remember where I was at that moment that the first announcement of the first plane hitting the building. I was amazed that at that point in my life ( it was almost like a dream or a movie) I was actually a part of history. I never really sat back to reflect on what happened or how it changed my view on life or even my view on world events. In the moments that passed directly after the incident, I was overcome with the type of emotions that can not be described. Like most people, I lost my safety net .. ... which is called America. I mean we were invaded early in the A.M., but then again ... I began to think what was next. I was frightened by the mere thought of being under attack on our own soil. I, like most of the people in this country, had become cocky and arrogant. It made me re-evaluate my life and what was important to me as I waited to hear from family and friends in the area of New York and Washington DC. I can't remember one time in my life that I can say that I felt the same way about any events within my lifetime that hit so close to home. So let us remember those that have fallen in the battle since the days the World Trade Center and Pentagon was hit.

To Write::To Wrong::To be .... Who we are

Looking into the glass that should be half full .... I have only seen that it is actually filled with nothing; more or less. I would love to be optimistic about the situation that we are facing in this world today. However, I am inclined to think that we are focusing on things that should mean less to us than an unfinished one sided penny. When I search through the small amount of time that I have spent on this planet, I am deeply troubled by the fact that my voice will most likely never be heard and the movement towards the true dreams of our forefathers will never be met. I know that it appears that we are one nation ... under the mask of equal opportunity for all men and women who would love to take on the pursuit of happiness. But it is hard for me to come to grips with the fact that everyone has the same opportunities, even though we have the ability and resources to attempt to achieve success in this world. I know that as the days have passed and we see that there are more and more diverse neighborhoods, schools, work environments, and even businesses( owned and operated). I am just confused as to what is going to become of those that are not aware of what it has taken to get to the point where we can see the light. How long and how many people must be swindled into the belief that we are a free market society ... that we are totally liberated from any form of slavery whether it is mental, physical, or even emotional. I am only speaking about the millions of misguided individuals who have been trained based on disbeliefs and negativity vs the TRUTH. I speak of the truth but it may not be the truth the system would like for us to believe ... but there is truth to what we are and who we are.

So here we are again.... still looking to the same core group that cares less for their own than their enemies.... I am still at awe ... as far as that is concerned. To think that citizens of foreign countries are held to a higher regard as far as rights than we are here today. only to see that we are only one step away from the type of Rules and Regulations that will stifle our creativity, emotions, and freedom... So are we free .... or just mindless zombies .... maybe ... maybe not ... but if we continue on to a future without a past ... who will we be or better yet if we keep on destroying the life's blood of our ancestors will we become anything.... more than a once dominant culture ... only talked about one month out of the year.... and yet we still settle for one month ... (that is another topic ) ....

New Robin Hood (Robing Manhood An Introduction) PT 1


There are so many issues as men we face daily. I only hope that as we continue to move that we are made aware of the difficulties that we face in today's corporate, social, and blue collar worlds. I know that it can be a struggle to get to the point that we are fully capable of controlling our destiny. It grows increasingly harder for us to gain focus and travel into the future when the past that we have come to know is only the past that was created for us. We are only as strong as the knowledge that we have of our past. Now this brings me to a quote I learned when I was younger :: A generation which ignores history has no past and no future 'Robert Anson Heinlein ' I now think even more about the issues that we are about to face as our youth begin to journey from adolescence into manhood. There seems to be an influx in the mentality of destruction and depravation. Its almost surreal how we destroy all that is close to us and then leave behind an even more sorrowful situation. I see it everyday wether it is wrapped in negativity by the media or just through the eyes of the lost generation of youth left to deal with 'war torn neighborhoods, insufficent facilities for recreation and education, along with a failing family infrastructure.'
So here we are the new 'ROBIN HOOD' Robing our ManHood...
