Difference of "Man"

Its been a minute friends...but I am back and thinking again.  Follow me as I share....
Difference of Man,
Now I use man in a generalization,  the non-gender form...so not to exclude nor confuse I speaking to and of all.  There are two distinct measures of man, which coincidently go hand and hand. Number one, let us call this Opportunity. .We are praised or crutched by the opportunities we have or have not.  When ultimately this world is full of opportunities...there is no such thing as a have not... that opportunity that you so desire and remains just outside of your grasp, is not yours.  The greatest form of intelligence is being able to recognize opportunity, and having the ability to take advantage of it when it comes.  So many wait on the opportunity others have had or what they read, while missing their own.
This brings me to point number two
Lets call this one Success,
This one is a little tricky..but simple when you think about.  We always try to standardize success by monetary means..which is so far off base.  Similar to standardize scholastic testing, but thats a different thought I will have later...lol....what we have to understand is men are individuals. .and we all have different meanings to success.  My success plan may lead me to a just a hundredaire...where another's failure makes them just a millionaire...a bit extreme but yall get the point....
So to summarizes this long ramble thought...
The Difference of "Man" is measured in the advantage taken by the opportunities laid before them...not the opportunities not provided, yet controlled by their individual portrait of success. ...
Peace...
Much love to my people...my fortune 500 folks....down to my proud GED hustlers.....keep control...and rock your societal blinders....ya dig

Evolution of Thought in Rhythmatic form (not a rap)

The older I get the further I fall out of the dream and into reality, I speak the truth amongst people and they tend to get mad at me, they say the way I talk could be classified as blasphemy, when I say faith in god, is belief in yourself, those hardcore religious folks say I need help, I just believe that we was giving the tools, fine working machines, and prayer just tighten the screws, as a young man I was afraid of my views, but I got a little living under my belt, did a little studying to understand why I felt how I felt, see its hard for me to believe in the written words of another man, who felt the need to oppress another man, long before thieves entered the mother land, where life had already began, but than erased that, then try to sale me something I know isn't fact....then chalk it up to faith...

I love ya'll....so don't get lost in the word,use your faith to power your belief in self, prayer without action is just begging.....

Peace

Niggas in Paradise

Now everyone trippin about a lil tweet of the "N" word,....smh...stop it, it is really not that serious...One she tweeted Niggas, with a picture of her one stage with her friends performing their song "Niggas in Paradise...now given that information let's you know it wasn't tweeted with malice intent, further more, the word Nigga was created with in the urban Hiphop culture to combat the derogatory word Nigger which white America had placed upon our head, but with us being so sensitive and dramatic, we have given even more strength to this word, anything close or similar is taboo...crazy thing is we have accepted two of the most degrading classifications that could be, why not boycott the label of Blacks...I am not black my skin is brown, why not be super offended when we hear colored, I my skin doesn't change colors, even the word Negro, that's just foreign for black....come on my people we have done this "N" thing to long let's get a new argument...white folk don't set back and accept white, no ask them and they will tell you, I am French, English, Scotish, German, Spanish..etc...shit I will no longer classify my self as black, my nationality is not a color, I am American...Thank You...Niggas...

Spoils or Plight of the American Athlete

$2,000,000.00 home, $300,000.00 car, $80,000.00 watch...wait $80,000.00 watch!!!...yeah that's more than the average American make in 2 years...yet this is spent on a valueless object like a wrist watch and why you say...well let me explain.  The face of the American super athlete resembles the face of past American poverty, current under educated America...how can a 20 year old who has learned to survive on under $25,000.00 a year manage a super size increase in money, right they can't....how does a 20 year old who values $120 pair of jordans know not to purchase that $80,000.00...right they don't....see these athletes are encouraged to leave our university early or bypass them altogether, just to gain financial prowess, to elevate a family that has smartly balanced themselves on minimum dollars, just to have the educated predators suck them dry because the lack of understanding of how to operate in this new financial bracket...so when you look at the high price spoiled young troublesome American athlete please realize its by American design......

Alone in my Thoughts

Life is this complex series of riddles and puzzle intertwined to create some meaning, yet when all solved it begins the ending of this physical being, just to start an even more beautiful enigma....wow...with something so complex it could be hard to enjoy the simple things...a wise man once told me, " Things with little meaning tend to make life fuller, while those we believe to have meaning drains the energy of life.", who am I kidding I am that wise man it is my saying.  Love, Like, Lust....simple words with simple meanings yet thrust in emotional contexts become these enormous entities, of explosives...now I am not a man without feeling, a man without dreams, but my fantasy is nothing more than me letting go briefly of my reality yet keeping it anchored to actuality...I've loved and I've lost, i've lost and I've loved...but to it all I still loved..the pain is to have that questioned, it's hard to know a person true...since we can't pull back the flesh and muscle..and look at a man's soul..never regret intentions, just sadden by interpretations.....

My Lakers

Yeah the season is over, yeah we lost to a younger, faster and hungry team.  Congrats to OKC....Now with that out the way let's point fingers.  Blame there's plenty of that to go around.  Let's start with management...the hiring of Mike Brown..first mistake...as a coach he is right up there at the top, but his one flaw, was and has been LA greatest need...In game coaching...it showed in the Denver series and ultimately ended in the OKC series..we won't stop there, the giving in to Lamar Odom, nobody wants me tantrum and sending away probably our only true playmaker, a proven winner in our system two times over for what amounted to nothing but a failed moral victory by not shipping him to a losing situation while creating one for yourself...Metta World Peace...I don't blame everyone is quick to blame him but I think he played within himself, its just not much left...Bynum, you want to be a star, you want to be a force...that all begins mentally..you have to bring every night every minute there is no day off in the NBA...you should have gotten that in 7 years. Pau Gasol, way too much talent..you are a legitimate number one option in this league yet you play like you don't belong..no fire..no confidence, just out there..this is what lead to your initial trade at the season beginning and will lead to it at this season's end....Sessions, Blake, Barnes and definetly Ebanks..great choke job...now to our great leader Mr. Bean Bryant..once again a fabulous year stat wise...you carried the team and did what Kobe does...yet you felled to lead you felled to demand your team play at that elite level night in and night out, yet you tried to do it yourself..problem is yourself is 33..on 37 year old legs...its time to become that mental leader that on the floor coach and allow the young talent to produce and be held accountable..down the stretch you lost your pop, 4th quarter numbers tell the story..you shot us out of the same games you shot us into...crazy but its true...the only bright spots this year.  Well Metta welcome back to that defensive presence from past years...and Jordan Hill just phenomenal...welcome to the Lake Showwelc

Same sex marriage

First off, Who really cares?....seriously.  Homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time.  Longer than slavery and the civil rights movement, longer than the sufferage women's equal rights movement..etc..now minds were changed on these issues that were so fundamental to the functioning of American society.  What makes same sex marriage any different?  We haven't outlawed homosexuality, we have embraced it and encouraged self expression, and pushed for a more tolerant society.  So a civil union is ok, but dare not call it a marriage.  Crazy, marriage is just the business portion of the civil union people...if we have nothing to say about same sex people in a relationship, functioning as one...why is it our concern of their marital status.  This is for my closed minded, do as the pastor or party say, bible bookworm, out of touch individuals out there....MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS.....
