Words of Wisdom..

Feezy gave me this scenario a while back... I juss cleaned it up.

Two friends attend a happy hour to grab a couple beers. Shortly after they recieve their beverages a man with a breifcase appoaches them and takes the seat next to them. The man turns towards friend number 1 and simply asks,

"How much money would you like for me to give you?"

Confused, Friend number 1 looks at his friend..... glances at his beer.... and then says,

"3 bucks should cover it."

The strange man reaches into his pocket without saying a word and hands friend #1, 3, 1 dollar bills.

The man now leans forward slightly to ask friend number 2 the same question,

"How much money would you like for me to give you?"

"3 million dollars!" he blurted out...

The man stood up and handed friend number 2 the suitcase and turned away as if to leave..

"That should cover it." he said and then walked away. 

After opening the breifcase to find it full of cash, friend number two looks at his beer, glances at his friend and walks out...leaving friend number 1 sheepishly at the bar.

The moral...

Reach for the stars and always strive for what may be beyond percieved limitations!

WOW!!! IRON MAN 2

I know u saw WAR MACHINE!!!
I guess Terrance Howard didnt make the cut...da well!!

So, I got a job..

Yes, its true... I got a job...

Business Analyst for a certain entity in the medical center...

Not bad at all...

Now, this is BIG for me! In a lot of ways...

As together as many may think I am, I actually have never had a full time job before! Last time I worked 40hrs I was wearin an apron and on skates (Sonic). I also have never been paid like I am about to be... change all ova the place..

So while I was at work today, I made a list of observations. Things that I noticed, realized, or just thought were profound about my day... Here they are.

1. 8 hour days aint no joke.. wut is this, HIGH SCHOOL?!

2. Thank God for Lunch. It helps the day go by faster... When you get to work in the morning you look forward to lunch. After Lunch you look forward to going home... without lunch work is torture.

3. Coffee.... may be my new best friend, real talk. I mean I was sippin when I was workin at the law firm, but... 8 hours?!.. chea, I'm a need all the help I can get.

4. I was way over dressed today. At the firm, my outfit would have been amazing and totally a fit for the environment, but these white ppl must have looked at my cuff links today like, "where does he think he is?" or "Ugh, black people are always over doin it... geez, tone it down Shaft."<--- ok, maybe too much, but you know what I mean. I am definitely taking it down a notch and I am investing in some chinos for the future. lol

5. This direct deposit is going to directly effect my attitude on life, come January 1st!

6. I think the HR lady may be involved in some questionable activities due to the demonic marking on the back of her neck... but thats all I'm gonna say..

7. When I started looking for a job, I really didnt want anything hard. I juss wanted something that was going to pay me a respectable wage. I thought this job may have been the pefect fit, but I have come to realize that what I'm doing can actually be hardwork at times. I've neva studied so hard in my life...

8. They think I am really smart!! I am the youngest person on the team, and they will not get out of my face...lol Its cool tho. 

All in all, the coming months should be interesting to say the least... stay tuned.

MY day...

I was born at 12:05 on 12/05... 


For some reason, I am especially happy this year. Especially humbled. Especially grateful. 


sumthin weird...
I remember in like the 5th grade the year 2000, still many years from then, seemed like such a big thing. Almost like we couldn't believe it was coming. With that same spirit, I used to think about how old I would be in the year 2000... 
14 was the magic number.
at 14 I would be a man, 
at 14 I would have facial hair...
at 14 girls would FINALLY like me..lol 


I use to harp so much on that particular age that I don't recall ever imagining being older than that! 
14 was it!! 


Here I am at 10 years from the age of 14 (thats 24)
Crazy...


Anyway, I thank God for EVERYTHING.
Im BLESSED, and I know it.


thanx for all the luv yall... 

JAY-Z SPEAKS!!!!!!!

SHOT OUT TO AR15 for the scoop this morn... good stuff.


THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.... GEEZ.
This was on Allhiphop.com today!!! here is the article, verbatim...

JAY-Z ADDRESSES DEVIL WORSHIP ALLEGATIONS!

Not sure when this happened, but Jay-Z has talked to radio host Egypt about the allegations that he worships Satan, the lord and master of the dark underworld of evil. He took it straight to a preacher that made these claims.

Jay: “He should be arrested, seriously. My position is not unlike anyone else who ascends to the top of their field. That comes with the game. But that’s crazy. That might be the craziest one I’ve had.”

“But do you go to church?”

Jay: “Nah, I’m more spiritual than [having] organized religion. I have a personal relationship with God. …I believe in karma, I believe in cause and effect…but religion, I have my opinions about religion.

Personally, I’ll never forget how Jay reacted to Bill Maher, a well-known atheist when he said something about Jesus. Seemed genuine to me.
