Stop being so [optimistic] and get [realistic]

The Story:

I was working on a few documents for Ms. Yvonne Hawks, Criminal Lawyer and President of NAACP, in the NAACP office becuase hte internet was down in the legal office. As I was typing and cruising Facebook. Her Marketing Manager, Mr. Calvin, walked in. I told him Id be out of his way in a sec. He told me to take my time. So as I was taking my time I decided to ignite a conversation with him. With him having rank in the NAACP and me being a person that has never been big on "Fight the power", I tried to take a different approach of the topics ahead. We began conversing and we had the same beliefs...that the reason we are reaching a state of despairity in our society is becuase the youth aren't educated about their past. Therefore they dont appreciate it and dont know who they are. They look to find themselves in the streets or in television set then consequently,corrupt their minds and subsequently corrupt their community. Thats the reason why we have more negative leaders than we do positive leaders. Thats everyone has a pessimistic heart but optimistic eyes when it comes to the future. Becuase WE are the future.

As the conversation got deeper I found out the main target of the Dekalb County Branch of the NAACP. . .to rebuild the morality and rewire the mindsets of our youth(african american of coarse). [I should have brought up N.W.F., but I was focused on the conversation] Thats when I paid my membership fee and enrolled. He said "it would be great to have you around...you seem like a good guy." I told him that " Im no Clark Kent, But I do want to save our society."

He gave me the nod.

And I accepted the call of duty.

. . . .But I cant do this alone, If you have read this far, you have the same propensity towards the advancement of our people, differences aside, by targeting our youth...Its going to take
Paideia ...Lets fight for the advancement of all youth. Lets raise the status quo for our African American youth. . . . .Its simple math.

NWF + NAACP = A brighter future......join the movement.

Dear Mama,

Sorry Ma.

I have been equivocating my curfew with my my mom and gmom for sometime now. I feel like after all my hard work this year I deserve to relax and enjoy myself with out any burdens! Let alone this will only last 3 more weeks...Hell Ill be in college in the fall and you wont be able toshadow me ther. Let me be a big boy! You feel me???.....You shouldn't.

After reading an aricle that James Ewers wrote in Crisis Magazine I've come to an opposite conclusion. All this time I have been trying to get them to see my point, but it was never my point that should have been understood in the first place. I should have just been obedient instead of rebelling becuase all it did was exacerbate the situation. Even when my mom was sick, I was too cynically concerned about my point to give her the attention that she needed. Dont get me wrong I cared for my Ma cuz I love her dearly....but not as much as I should have. I cant continue to be knuckle-headed...especially cause I have 4 little ones watching my every move. I gotta step up.

To see my cousin Toyia go through all the bullshit she goes through with her older sis and her mom...i cant do anything but smh and wonder how. She remains humble trhrough all the parental constituted adversity and still walks around ith a smile. So if she can do it (and shes a good ass girl) Then I can do it.

......Sorry Ma =/

Mobile Meandering

Thought: I hate talking to adults when my vocabulary and articulation is far more advanced than their's. I can undestand why, seeing as tough education wasnt as easy to get a hold on to as it is now but it seems like the ones I talk to have gotten complacent with being grammatically insufficient. This brings me to an aforementioned quote "No one can no everything but the wise acumulate as much knowledge as possible". With that in mind...Grown ups....grow up.

Sex is a science...Get a Doctorate.

How many times have you been in the car it you boys and the sex topic arises? Have you noticed that when it comes to self-satisfaction the objective is felatio? Have you noticed when it comes down the partner’s satisfaction they only want to give her multiple orgasms?.....But they always seem steer away from Love…How contradicting! It just shows how ignorant we are when it comes to sex. Every orgasm shoots a small dosage of dopamine to the brains VTA. The VTA then sprinkles that natural stimulant throughout the rest of the brain. Figure 1 Which saturates your mindset to focus more, be more motivated, crave harder, and want more…..four essential qualities that intertwine to engender the feeling of “Love” (and attachment). So fellas be careful how much you’re pleasing her if you’re not ready for love and ladies vice versa. Learn as much about sex as you can. Everybody should be thoroughly informed of the consequences if you are active but if your advanced and repetitively active…become a student of your game. Know what makes what trigger, what spots are the most sensitive, how she reacts…etc. etc. etc.. Sex is a science.…get a damn doctorate in it since your spending so much time “experimenting.”

“No one knows everything, but the wise accumulate as much knowledge as possible.”

Conviction to Confession to Challenge.

While sitting here watching “hiher learning”…..I‘ve had an epiphany. Lawrence Fishburn challenged Omar Epps in the movie to stop being so oblivious to the world around him and become more mentally competitive. If we know all the rules to anygame, It is likely that we will know how to tweak it in our favor for the better possibility of our advancement. We should always be a student of our own game. . . .How that constituted this idea…IDK…but listen up

All my life I’ve been short and skinny. Couldn’t do nothing but talk a good game in hopes for respect in return. But then it came a time where I actually had to prove myself. It started in the nieghbohood, telling everyone I was bigger and badder than they were until finally one day I had to prove myself. I beat one of my closest friends ass,. . . repitively…just as an example to everyone else that I’m nothing to play with. Then it rolled over to the football field. I was shortest, smallest one…but I had to make a name for myself somehow..My daddy didn’t raise no punk. So I started tackling the biggest guys on the team head first and that caught the respect of my peers as well as my coaches. They said I had heart..and they trusted me before anybody because they knew I would at least give it my all. Then it was baseball. I wasn’t tall enough for some positions or fast enough for the others…but I was quick…so I worked really hard to be a great short stop..and succeeded. As time rolled on …I got into basketball. Then track…just to prove myself worthy of respect. I played all these sports and excelled in all of them. . . . but now Im at a crossroad.
After being an athlete all my life…I got sick of being pitied and stereotyped by the nonathletic world..giving me all these second chances and when I seized my chances. I was just another “DUMB ATHLETE”… Weaving my way through life with my strength and finess. . . . That’s when I quit football and took on an AP class. It wasn’t only cuz I had a better chance in track…but to give me more time to focus on becoming more ‘metally competitive’. As the year went on ..I started making a name for myself in cross country which subsequently spilled over into the track world. I knew what I could do and everybody else around me knew what I could do…It all depended on how bad I wanted it. Ask my coaches. Ask my team mates. Ask yourself , if you really know me. I started to become so intrigued by my intellectual abilities I gave up on the athletic world as a whole. I gave up on possibly becoming a state champ in football, cross country, and track in the same year. Big ass mistakes right……nope. I went on to challenge myself more and see how far I could go. I applied to a butt load of academically competitive schools. I even considered Harvard (too optimistic..should have been more realistic) until I found a school perfect for me. Morehouse College. Everyone knows the legacy of Morehouse, if not I encourage you to read up on it. I got hyped up about going there. I spent almost every day on the campus living vicariously through the students that already attended there. I couldn’t wait!...... A few weeks Later… I was rejected. They basically told me I was ‘mentally competive’ enough to make it through their curriculum. …Pssh..yea right…I appealed and Im going to my dream school. Nothing or no one will ever tell me what I can and cannot accomplish.

I say all that to say this. I ve spent all my life trying to gain respect through physical competition. Trying to be the big man on campus everywhere I went. It paid off…..but Im still not happy. I wish to God I would have known at an earlier age the benefits of being HUMBLE and Mentally Competitive. Knowledge is Power. Real talk…The more I look at my past trophies on my wall..old pics of me winning..i get mad. Honestly, I want to throw them all away and start over. I want to see how many diplomas and honorary doctorates I can receive. . . But that’s wont be it. My GMA talked to for a while today about having a balance. Im going to be emotionally, socially, athletically, intellectually, and morally sound. I cant take this one-sided life anymore… and you are reading this…I challenge you to do the same.WE cant take this One sided life anymore. With the world becoming so damn competitive in so many areas, people are looking for diversity. People want to now knock out 20 birds with 1 stone. We should all strive to impinge into all domains worthy of competition and rock every domination for ourselves!! I say this in no reference no race, height or sex…..I say this to everyone!!!... Either ‘Catch up….or catch on’.





Okay so I rambled a bit.....I got my point out tho...all fifty of em lol

-Im a natural born competitor, at heart.

-I wont let anyone tell me what I can and cannot attain. . .unless its worth accepting that insight.

-I want everyone to add more diversity to thier lives...this life thing...is a game...why do you think most aphorisms can relate to board games??

~N.W.F.

Does the government need to toughen up?

"We have the most gov't assistance than any generation before"....My pastor hit the congregation with that this past sunday. So ...I've been thinking. Is it good or bad?

Thats great that the gov't is making it alot easier for everyone to succeed and therefore anyone who doesnt really doeasnt have an excuse becuase theres so much help, but my point is this...

With it being so easy to succeed now-a-days struggles are lost and many life lessons are surpassed. Isn't that the where we build our character and morality?...Now before I continue. I know that growing up, your parents are obligated to instill proper teachings into you and build your character but we are living in such an independent society no that family time is becoming non-existent. So its almost like we are to learn our lessons the "hard way" by getting out there and taking on obstacles head on.....thats brings me back to my point.

With the gov't giving us so many second chances and "lee-way" ....struggles dont just fall in our lap [which isnt the bad part]....but since its so easy to attain success now, isnt our morality thinning out? I mean think about it....You use the simple key to success....Eductation+Education+Education+ Experience= Great salary. Easy as pie if you handle your business at the time where its operative. Soon well have all these successful people leading our nation with no morals thus leading our nation to a deeper state of immorality. . . .im just saying. I could be looking at it wrong..Or I could be right on the bulls eye...I dont feel as strongly as I usually do about a point like this so if you feel otherwise feel free to persuade me to understand your point.
