Shock Value: Entry 261 "The Best Is Yet To Come"

Woodworkz:

364 days ago we all sat around with our families or kneeled down in front of various pews at our places of worship. At that time, we decided what resolution(s) were important for us, this year. We told ourselves and the GOD we serve what we plan to stop/start doing this year. Some of us knew at the point me made our various resolutions that it wouldn't last past the point when it came out our mouth. But its a process and something we are taught to do, so we do it with intentions of really changing some things. Either way, we are on day 364 and with one day left in 2010 there is only so much you can't or can do now. While you may have passed or failed on your 2010 resolution(s), I write today to tell you that it is okay. 20eleven is almost here, and "The Best Is Yet To Come."

I believe that no matter what you have been through in this life, as long as you have a tomorrow, you have a chance at making a difference. A difference in your life or the life of someone else. Rather you accomplished everything you wanted to or nothing at all, "The Best Is Still Yet To Come." Your yesterday has nothing on your tomorrow, "The Best Is Yet To Come." I can't touch all of you physically to give you a pat on your back of encouragement, but hopefully through these words, you will be motivated to do more now then ever before. You can read everything I write, but if you don't believe it, you won't receive anything. You are so much more to the world then you know. You give so much more to people then you know. As our President says, "Be the change in the world that you want to see."

I am not just writing you all, I believe this for me and for you, "The Best Is Yet To Come." Come on 20eleven, lets see what surprises, BLESSINGS, curses, joys, and pains you will bring. "The Best Is Yet To Come!"

Here's what I think of the Vid....

Shock Value: Entry 260 "Never Let Em' See You Sweat"

One thing I have learned as I have gotten older is that I don't know it all. Now I am no different from you, when we where younger you couldn't tell us nothing. But through time, I have learned to be a sponge. Being a sponge means you close your mouth sometime and absorb knowledge from those around you, no matter how old they may be. GOD can use anyone/anything to give you a message. I am most proud today to dedicate this piece to Anna who inspired me when she said, "it doesn't matter what people say or do to you, no matter how much much they hurt you, put you down, or try to destroy you, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." Now, if you know me, you know that usually I always have something inspirational/motivational to say. But at that very moment, I felt like my big cuz was adding to my life tool box. There was no response necessary. I just paused for a moment in amazement. I knew right then this was a message I had to share with you all and hopefully you will add it to your life tool box--- "Never Let Em' See You Sweat."

When s/he breaks your heart, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." When they have talked about you so bad that all you want to do is curl up in a ball and cry/die, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." When you keep trying to do right but people keep knocking you down, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." When you know that you can do bad all by yourself, but s/he has you so far gone that you just can't quite let go yet, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." When your haters dig so deep to find any type of dirt against you and throw it in your face every time, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." When the people who hurt you in your past, still try to find a way to hurt you in your present, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat." Don't give anyone power over your life, happiness, or future. Just keep on living and no matter what, "Never Let Em' See You Sweat."

I don't care what people tell you about you, if you don't believe it, then don't receive it. Some people are put here just to lie, cheat, steal, kill and destroy. But, it doesn't matter what their life choice is. This is your life we talking about. With two days left until 20eleven, just remember this, "you can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU." People spat, kicked, betrayed, and talked about JESUS, what makes you think they won't do the same to you? And WHEN, not IF they do it, it's okay. Unless you are working out in the gym with them or you are taking a jog on an extremely hot day and they just so happen to be outside, "NEVER UNDER ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT."

Shock Value: Entry 259 "Boys II Men 2"

For me to be a "Man," I am not a fan of "Men" at all. I personally believe guys are the dumbest species on earth. Actually, I should be more specific, not guys but "Boys." In this writing today, I want to help you all learn to differentiate between "Boys" and "Men." Every individual in this life will go through their own maturation phase. But some people never accept the role that comes with growing up, especially "Boys." Some "Boys" never embrace the path from "Boys II Men."

"Boys" believe conquering women is a way to become the most valuable player in life. "Boys" believe the more women they sleep with the more respect they will garner from other "Boys." "Boys" don't understand that a million women in your bed won't ever equal ONE good woman in your life that will accompany you as you work to reach your goals. "Boys" think that lying is the way to get out of anything. "Boys" just don't realize that one lie will just lead to several other lies. "Boys" play games with life and love. "Boys" walk around with a brick on their shoulder. "Boys" are mad at the world and feel they have to prove how hard they are to other people and to the world. "Boys" think the more ignorant you look, talk, seem, the more girls will like them and other "Boys" will respect them. The sad part about it is, "Boys" feel they are correct in all the aforementioned actions because girls are attracted to that nonsense and they make these "Boys" feel justified in the way they treat other girls and talk them. Some girls enable and support their "Boyish" ways. As long as you girls keep that up, "Boys" are going to keep doing what they have been doing because you love them, have babies from them, and fight over them, even though they are dogging your a$$ like the greyhound on buses. But as the saying goes, "Boys" will be "Boys." Hopefully one day, they will take the journey from "Boys II Men."

Alternatively, "Men" are everything "Boys" aren't. "Men" understand the value of a good woman. "Men" have had an opportunity to learn from their "Boyish" mistakes. "Men" seek substance in a woman, not just a fat butt and good looks in a girl. "Men" understand that while lying is an option, it is important to only lie in times of crisis. For instance, if it's a choice between life and death and a lie will save them, lie until it feels like the truth. Moreover, "Men" understand that the "Man" makes the clothes, the clothes don't make the "Man." "Men" don't walk around trying to prove their "Man"hood. They realize we live in a normal society not a jungle and we aren't cave"Men" any more. "Men" realize you don't have to prove yourself to anyone, but the "MAN" upstairs. "Men" unlike "Boys" are turned off by loud, always got something to say, half-naked, ghetto girls. As a matter of fact, "Men" don't keep this type of company around them. "Men" tend to be attracted to someone who is just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. "Men" unlike "Boys" seek the real support of a woman, a girl's sex and affection just won't cut the mustard. "Men" have taken the journey from "Boys II Men."

What is sad is now that you have read the above, some of you may or may not realize that all this time you have been involved with, or are currently involved with "Boys." My personal feeling is that to some of you, nothing I said will make a difference. You like what you like and you can't help what you are attracted to. If you like yourself a "Boy" then by all means, keep on making it do what it do. My hopes though is that some of you will realize that the majority of your hurt, pain, and disappointment is a direct result because you have been involved with a "Boy." No matter how hard you try, you can't teach him how to be a "Man." Only when he is ready will he seek to find the path from "Boy II Man." It is not an easy trip to make, but indeed a necessity. Ladies, if you stop lowering your standards, then "Boys" will have to raise theirs. With your help we can get rid of Grown "Boys" one at a time. Only the strong will survive, but Ladies for the sake of your heart and your children's future, let the "Boys" play their playstation, party in the club, or stay in the streets all day/night long by themselves. You need to switch it up, stop settling, and let a good "Man" find you. A REAL "Man" that understands and has experienced the voyage from "Boys II Men." In 20eleven, you deserve to be happy! 3 days and counting.

Louisiana company accused of refusing to hire African-Americans

A Louisiana corporation is accused of racial discrimination in a suit filed Dec. 22 in federal court in New Orleans.

Sondria Brown, Terris Cramedy, Carlos Gibson, Derrick Mixon, Arthur Mixon, Helen Edwards, Lance Jackson, Darrick May, Derrick McGowan, Preston Murray, Donnell Pigott, Jonathan Lowery, Elvin Pigott, Devon Thompson and Michael Williams are suing Canal Energy & Services Inc., claiming the defendant screened all applicants to determine their race and would mark their application with "B" on applications submitted by African Americans.

All of the above-named plaintiffs applied for employment with Canal Energy in Bogalusa in response to advertisements in the local paper.

The plaintiffs argue that the defendant had a policy of refusing to hire African American applicants and the defendant's president had stated that he did not want to hire African Americans.

"Defendant's screening process and refusal to hire African Americans was in reckless disregard of the rights provided under Title VII to plaintiffs," the lawsuit states.

They are asking the court for an award of back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees and court costs.

The plaintiffs are represented by Ronnie G. Penton and Mary Anna Penton of The Penton Law Firm in Bogalusa and Michael T. Tusa, Jr. and James C. Rather, Jr. of Sutton & Alker in Mandeville. A jury trial is requested.

"Open Your Eyes"--SUM 41: Expand Your Horizons

"Open Your Eyes"--Dwele

Shock Value: Entry 258 "Open Your Eyes"

THIS IS ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SOCRATES

STOP SLEEPWALKING!!! Yo, today I have to take a moment to talk to you all about something that is extremely important. Too many people in this life refuse to "Open Their Eyes." Things are right in front of you and you absolutely refuse to "Open Your Eyes."

Some of you live life in denial. I mean you spend countless nights at home alone crying and stressed out because you know the person you are investing all your feelings and your emotions into is out in the streets doing who knows what with who knows who. Well, actually some of you have an idea or know exactly what s/he is doing, and you still allow it. Ma'am/Sir, please "Open Your Eyes." You deserve way better than you are receiving. I shouldn't have to tell you any of this, "Open Your Eyes."

You go to work everyday, and you hate it with a passion. You hate when your alarm goes off in the morning. You hate getting ready for work. You are depressed on the drive to the job. All your co-workers get on your nerves, and you can't stand your boss. You can't stand the customers, not because they are customers, but because you hate your job. Ma'am/Sir, please "Open Your Eyes." A career change is necessary before you go postal. You need to make a change before it changes you. "Open Your Eyes." You are a creative and talented individual, you do have options.

I think all of us see things right in front of us, but we choose to ignore them for a number of reasons. Sometimes we don't want to see the truth because we can't handle the truth. Love is one of the main reasons we refuse to "Open Our Eyes." Stupidity is the other. We allow both Love and Stupidity to keep us from "Opening Our Eyes." We have to learn to deal with things that need to be dealt with.

With only 4 days until 20eleven, I encourage you all to "Open Your Eyes." Yes, we may not like what we see, but we have to see it anyway. No matter what the outcome, at some point we have to "Open Our Eyes." That's the only way we can truly change our circumstances or make a difference. It's okay to blink, but don't keep them closed. "WAKE UP; OPEN YOUR EYES TODAY!!!"

Shock Value: Entry 257 "The Last Word"

There are a number of things in this life that are indeed important. Things like: air, oxygen, water, and food. Some other things in life may seem way more important but they really aren't. Lately, with only 5 days left until 20eleven, I have decided to really deal with my own personal trials, tribulations, flaws, and attitude. I think it would behoove of you to do so also. One of the lessons I have learned most recently is that it isn't that important to have "The Last Word."

I am an avid debater. Most mistaken my appeal for debates for a person who likes to argue. I love a healthy debate, but an argument will make the kid shut down. I will go at it with you on any topic(s) you can think of. And believe it, it was always imperative that I get "The Last Word." Now that I think of it, I have always wanted to deliver "The Last Word." Man, I have gotten popped in the mouth and my butt tore up for not knowing when to shut up and not keep going just to get "The Last Word." I have seen so many people lose things that matter the most because they have to have "The Last Word." Honestly, it's just not that important.

If you are like me and it is/was of uber importance for you to have "The Last Word," I am asking you to re-think that process. Sometimes it's just not worth it. Having "The Last Word" is not as important as knowing what to say and when to say it. I am not perfect and I do have a number of flaws, but one of them I am working on daily is knowing when to close my mouth. I must be honest, it is hard for me to close my mouth, but I am working on it still even as I type this. Know this, "The Last Word" means nothing if you never ever get to say another "Word" at all. Think about it!

Shock Value: Entry 256 "Improvise""

Have you ever wanted to do something, but felt like you didn't have everything you needed to accomplish it? Have you tried to pick up the pieces in your life, your relationship, or at work? Ever looked for that special thing that you always use to accomplish a tasks, but you just couldn't find it? If you answered yes, to any of the aforementioned, you must learn how to "Improvise."

When you "Improvise" you practice acting, singing, talking, reacting, making and creating in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment and inner feelings. In lames terms, to "Improvise" means doing something even though you don't have everything you deem necessary to do it. The good thing about being able to "Improvise" is that this can result in the invention of new thought patterns, new practices, new structures, symbols, and/or new ways to act (Wikipedia, 2010).

Being able to "Improvise" is extremely powerful. Most people of color have had to "Improvise" all of their life. Born with less and tasked to do more, the ability to "Improvise" has helped most of us succeed in trying times. When your number is called and its time for you to either put up or shut up, knowing how to "Improvise" could result in you becoming a winner and not a loser. Creativity is one of the special spices of life, and knowing how to "Improvise" helps get your creative juices flowing. Being able to create in the moment can open up closed doors and help you make a way out of no way.

Many of you already "Improvise," but I just wanted to share with you my thoughts on it. When you are in the moment, a decision has to be made. Sometimes you don't have time to think about it, phone a friend, or even ponder, "WWJD: What Would Jesus Do?" At times, you just have to make a move and go with what you know. If you know and understand how to "Improvise," those scenarios may still be difficult, but a bit less painful because you may find things out about yourself that you never knew. I "Improvise" and I "Improvise" often. Not necessarily because I need to, but mostly because I want to.

You have 6 days until we embark on 2011. Any new skill you can pick up between now and then will ultimately help you be the best you can be in the new year. Thus, if you don't know how, learn to "Improvise." It works, it really does. Need help, ask the kid. I'll show you or find someone near you to show you how its done.

Shock Value: Entry 255 "Merry CHRISTmas""

"Merry CHRISTmas" to you and yours. Emphasis on "The CHRIST," for HE is the reason for the season. Let us all be reminded as we sit around and exchange/open up gifts with our loved ones, that we are extremely BLESSED because our HEAVENLY FATHER sent HIS only begotten SON to die for our sins, even though we don't deserve it.

Be thankful for your family, friends, and most importantly your haters. As I always say, "If you weren't doing anything worth talking about, people would've have anything to hate on you for." Today, I hope you all: laugh 'til you cry, eat until you pass out, but most importantly, show/spread love until it hurts. You may not believe it, but some people won't be experiencing the festivities you are so fortunate to experience on today. Be thankful for what you have and appreciate all that you may not have. Whether you know it or not, you have more than enough, so be grateful.

Again, I say, "Merry CHRISTmas." You are so privileged and BLESSED to see another holiday and fortunate to have family to spend it with. Everyone isn't so fortunate. If you don't know anything else, know this, "you may not have everything you want but thank GOD for taking care of your needs. GOD speed, be safe, be careful, and be responsible. Happy Holidays Peepz!!!

Shock Value: Entry 254 "Its Beginning To Look A lot Like CHRISTmas""

"It's Beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas..." Where?! Because even though the "CHRISTmas" lights are up, the shopping malls are packed with people, and the airports and highways are full to capacity, the weather just won't act right. I mean, is it so hard to really want a real White "CHRISTmas" ? I mean everyone ought to be able to build a snowman at least once in their lifetime. Or how about, finding a frozen pole and sticking your tongue on it, to see if it gets stuck? Ah, the joys and wonders of "CHRISTmas."

"It's Beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas" somewhere I am sure, just not here. I anxiously anticipate the type of weather one will experience on that day when loved ones and not so loved ones exchange tokens of appreciation with each other. "CHRISTmas" is a special time of year, but I think that the snow makes it more enjoyable. I have been BLESSED to experience that White "CHRISTmas" once sung about. I believe that is a special gift everyone should receive at least once.

"It's Beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas.." Even though you can't tell by the temperature outside or by looking at the ground, we can all be most thankful that we are very close to experiencing yet another "CHRISTmas." I'm going to wrap it up now, because I know you all have last minute gifts to buy, things to wrap, and we are all tasked with either helping someone prepare food or trying to find out where we are going to eat. Enjoy your day today, and make sure you do two very important things: 1) Put out the milk and cookies for Mr. S Clause, even if its your grandma/pa, daddy, momma, sister, brother, pastor, friend, or loved one. Everyone enjoys a lil' sweets. 2) Keep the CHRIST IN "CHRISTmas," for HE is the REAL and TRUE reason for the season.

Shock Value: Entry 253 "No B.S."

I have come to the realization that most of you deal with too much "B.S." You all take too much "B.S." from your associates, friends, loved ones, and even your co-workers. Me personally, I have what I call a "No B.S." tolerance contract. What that means is: if you plan on being a part of my life you cannot under any circumstance be on that "B.S."

Life is way too short for you all to be dealing with so many problems, so much negativity, and so much drama. People will use you up if you let them. You need to get you a "No B.S" contract too. Stop taking "B.S." from people. Especially, those who you know don't really give a dang about you. "No B.S.," if you stand up for yourself, others will tend to respect your more and treat you more like you deserve to be treated.

"B.S." is for the bulls and not the ones in Chicago either. Don't allow "B.S." to live in your world. With only 8 days left 'til we roll into a New Year, I encourage you to leave the "B.S." and the "B.S.ers" in your past. You absolutely know you deserve better, so stop settling. From now on tell yourself, "No B.S." will be allowed, from henceforth. If they come with it, let them leave with it. You are better off by yourself then having to deal with other people's "B.S." And That's "No B.S.!"

This Is Cool & Creative.

Yes, This Was Real. Scary, But Real Nonetheless.

Flashback: Bone Thugs~N~Harmony- For Smokers Only

Shock Value: Entry 252 "For Smokers Only"

You all know I got love for everybody. Tall, skinny, black, white, straight, gay, poor, rich, etc. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do as long as you aren't hurting anyone else doing it, I got your back. I try not to talk about people or pass judgment on others, because I would hate for anyone to do that to me. Not that I care, but I still don't like it. My job is to enlighten and encourage those of you who could use a little of either one or both. Today, I write because I am concerned about a group of you. Those of you who are in that "For Smokers Only" club. Not that, I got five on it, dro, cush, 4:20, greenchie green, purp club, but the cancer stick, "Smokers Only" club.

I know you all probably know this already, but I wanted to take a moment to share a few facts with you. I am not going to assume you already know these things. But in case you do, it won't hurt refreshing your brain. Below you will see the benefits of being a part of the "For Smokers Only" club or the benefits you get from being around those who are members.

What are some of the health problems caused by smoking? (www.cancer.gov)

Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body and diminishes a person’s overall health. Millions of Americans have health problems caused by smoking.

Smoking is a leading cause of cancer and death from cancer. It causes cancers of the lung, esophagus, larynx, mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia (1).

Smoking also causes heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (chronic bronchitis and emphysema), hip fractures, and cataracts. Smokers are at higher risk of developing pneumonia and other airway infections (1).

A pregnant smoker is at higher risk of having her baby born too early and with an abnormally low birth weight. A woman who smokes during or after pregnancy increases her infant’s risk of death from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) (1). Men who smoke are at greater risk of erectile dysfunction (5).

Cigarette smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke cause an estimated 438,000 premature deaths each year in the United States. Of these premature deaths, about 40 percent are from cancer, 35 percent are from heart disease and stroke, and 25 percent are from lung disease (6). Smoking is the leading cause of premature, preventable death in this country.

***Regardless of their age, smokers can substantially reduce their risk of disease, including cancer, by quitting. ***

This is by no way a tactic I am using to try to scare you. I know some of you are adults and you can do whatever you want to. But, I believe education is power. Even if you refuse to quit, I do want that 10, 13, or 16 year old, who just started smoking because s/he thinks it's cool to be informed and understand the risk associated with being a part of the "For Smokers Only" club. Also, this is for each of you who smoke, but don't get check-ups regularly. Make sure you visit your doctor or the local free clinic. There is nothing wrong with making sure you are "a-o-kay". I'd prefer you quit, but I am sure your family and I can find solace in the fact that we at least know you are cancer free.

With 10 days left in "o 10" I believe it is important to end this year right. Or at least try to. Daily I pray for each and every one of you. There are enough things going on in this life we can't control, but what we put into our body, our temples, is one of them. It is up to you to choose life or death. Me personally, I choose life. Your choice is yours.

Shock Value: Entry 251 "Under Construction"

No matter what I do or where I go to do it, sometimes I face challenges. As the saying goes, No one said it would be easy. Although, we would love to have an easy button for many things in our life, we have to deal now with situations as they present themselves. When the going gets tough, the tough, get going. I realize now more than ever that my life is "Under Construction."

Now you may have everything in your life together, but not the kid. My life is "Under Construction" and has been for a while now. Every thing isn't quite the way I like it or where it is suppose to be. As a matter of fact, I am in the midst of renovating a few things. Some walls I use to have up definitely have to be torn down. There are a few floor boards (my foundation) that have to be replaced. My roof (brain) is ok and can stand any type of weather, but I have to make sure it is strong enough to resists anything that may come my way in the near not so distant future. I have to do a little touch up painting and rewire my thinking. The "Construction" I am "Under" isn't easy, but it is indeed necessary.

I feel like during this time of transition in my life, I need to put a big sign my chest that reads, "Under Construction." Just so people around me, don't think I am perfect or those who don't understand why I am not who I use to be, can have an idea of what is going on with me. I am not afraid to admit I am "Under Construction," but I believe some people are. I am embracing this transition period I am enduring in my life. You may need to think about the necessary improvements, adjustments, and "Construction" you need to make or go "Under" in your life. People who think they don't need to change have major problems and need change the most. I don't want any of you to think you can't use any "Construction" in your life.

The major key to being "Under Construction" is understanding and realizing you are GOD's project. Don't let other people's opinions, thoughts, and words change you. If you "Under" go "Construction," do it because you deem it as necessary. No matter what you do in this world someone, somewhere is going to have something to say about it. Be you and be fierce with it. Yes, I am "Under Construction" but I am the project manager of this new creation I am going for. If you are "Under Construction" don't be ashamed to take control of your re-design too. At the end of the day, this is your life. No one has to wake up to you every morning or deal with ALL that is you everyday, but you. "Construct" a new and more improved you, for you and because you think its necessary, not because it will make anyone else happy. Because no matter what you do, you can't please some people and you will NEVER please everybody.

Shock Value: Entry 250 "Quitting While You're Ahead"

Everyone gather around. I am about to make an announcement of epic proportions. I was wrong regarding my philosophy on "Quitting." Thanks to American Gangster and a few recent life experiences, my outlook on "Quitting" has changed. I used to quote the famous line, Winners never "Quit" and "Quitters" never Win, but I realized most recently that there are occasions when that is not accurate. As a matter of fact, due to your circumstances and the outcome of your situation, there is absolutely, positively, nothing wrong with "Quitting While You're Ahead."

This is a major issue. Some of us just don't know when to "Quit." I feel so funny because usually I am coaching all of you on how "Quitting" should never become an option. But I have had a revelation, "Quitting" most certainly should be an option, especially "While You're Ahead." I have been observing a few people lately and things around me. I understand now more than ever while it is necessary to "Quit While You're Ahead." Stop being so prideful all the time. People are going to talk about us regardless. Know when to call it "Quits." I know it doesn't sound noble to "Quit," but in some instances this is the best option for that situation. We have to learn not to hold onto something that visibly has no signs of life anymore (i.e., our broken relationship, the job we hate so much, and things that happen to us in our past.) We have to learn to "Quit" thinking about these things and continuing to make ourselves suffer just to say we have someone or somewhere to go to get a paycheck that is always less than what we feel deserve. It may suck at first but "Quitting" can be so refreshing in the end. Now, be smart and make sure you make plan accordingly before you jus go out and began "Quitting" stuff. But note, there is nothing wrong with "Quitting While You're Ahead."

My philosophy on "Quitting" has adjusted my philosophy on "Winning." If you have tried your very best and gave it all you had, you will never be a "Quitter" nor a "Loser." At some point, you have to know when to let go. There is nothing wrong with "Quitting While You're Ahead." Not knowing when or how to "Quit" could very well be the difference between a messy break up; doing time in jail; living a fruitful and productive life, or dying way before your time. If you can't deal with the notion that you may be viewed as a "Quitter" because you chose to "Quit While You're Ahead," just look at it as you went into early retirement. There are greener pastures in the free world that you can discover if you learn to "Quit While You're Ahead."

~Whatever you do, just don't give up/ "Quit" on yourself or GOD.

Those two, unlike others, will NEVER fail you.~

Shock Value: Entry 249 "That Mustard Seed"

I have no idea what the future holds for me. As a matter of fact, I don't know what I will face in the next five minutes. But, what I do know is that I have to continue living while I am here on this earth, until my time expires. I am not anywhere near where I want to be in this life, but I am so glad I am not where I use to be. I am unsure about so many things, and there are so many things unanswered, but I have Faith. You know, all you need is "That Mustard Seed" Faith and your life can surely change.

"That Mustard Seed" Faith is just enough to allow the MAN upstairs to intervene on your behalf. I have decided that it is pointless to spend all day and night, crying, worrying, and hurting over things you have endured. During these times, I simply have to remind myself of the power of "That Mustard Seed." Now "A Mustard Seed" is very very small, but the power that can come from your Faith is gargantuan. Many times in this life you will be faced with problems, issues, and challenges beyond your control, but all you need to do is believe the size of "That Mustard Seed." That is it.

"That Mustard Seed" makes the difference. Your Faith can determine your future. When you mix that Faith, with "That Mustard Seed," you will be amazed at what can happen. Let "That Mustard Seed" do the work for you. Learn to Let Go and Let GOD!

That's Just Not Right.

Shock Value: Entry 248 "Stop Looking"

I try to be very observant. I mean, I try to be very aware of my surroundings at all times. I don't sit with my back to doors, so I can be on the "Look" out for strangers and strange things. I am always "Looking" but not just for my own well being, but for the well being of others. I don't go "Looking" for things I don't feel the need to find. I don't "Look" for people who aren't "Looking" for me. There is nothing wrong with "Looking," but, some of you need to just "Stop Looking."

Just the other day, my home girl and I were having the most interesting conversation. One thing I always encourage people is to "Stop Looking." The worst thing you can do is go "Looking" for things. The major issue is once you find what you went "Looking" for, you are most likely going to be disturbed, upset or hurt by what you find. Just "Stop Looking!" If you don't trust the one you are with, find someone else. There is no need for you to find yourself "Looking" for things that may or may not be something you want to find.

I am not telling you that you should be naive, or act like you don't know what is going on around you. But if you know something isn't right between you and your significant other, "Stop Looking." As a matter of fact, you need to "Start Looking" for someone else. Your happiness should not be lost because you find yourself with someone that doesn't appreciate you. "Stop Looking" for answers, dirt, or signs to let go of s/he. You are responsible for your own happiness. Don't let anyone take your joy. "Stop Looking" and start living for yourself, today.

Shock Value: Entry 247 "Emotional Hoarders"

I know no one else has ever said this to you, but most of you are what I call "emotional hoarders." Not sure what that means? "Emotional hoarders" are individuals who hold on to every ounce of hurt, pain, disappointment, unhappiness, or any other negative "emotions" they have ever experienced in their life. Yep, don't look around, I am talking about you. You are an "emotional hoarder." Once you admit it, you will be one step closer to breaking this bad habit.

"Emotional hoarding" has so many negative effects. People who are "emotional hoarders" are almost incapable of building any new and functional relationships or companionships. "Emotional hoarders" live in constant fear that anyone in their present is subject to become just like a negative person from their past. While that may be true, "emotional hoarders" aren't willing to take a chance on building anything with someone new, until they have put them threw a battery of tests. The worst part is that, "emotional hoarders" expect the new comer in their life to fail these tests because they have no faith in this new person's ability to do anything better than what the previous negative person(s) did. "Emotional hoarders" intentionally/unintentionally design these test were no one new can pass them anyway. While "emotional hoarders" often say they want to get rid of their negative past, their inability to trust and let go of what happened to them causes friction between them and any newcomer in their life. So much so, that the new person realizes at some point that they will always be a part of the problem or compared to the person of the past and thus, they ultimately pack up their "emotions" and leave.

"Emotional hoarding" is very problematic. While I understand that each of you/us have been through a tremendous amount of negativity in our lifetime, we cannot truly move on and grow if we cannot let go of our past. Yes, some of our parents, siblings, family members, significant others, and friends have and still are putting us through a lot of hurt and pain, but we cannot punish anyone else for someone else's transgressions. Some people really have your best interest in mind and really want to get to know you or perhaps grow old with you, but because you are so busy "hoarding" all these negative "emotions" from the past, you are going to run them ALL away, one by one.

I encourage you today, to acknowledge the negative "emotions" you have been though or are going through in your life. Next, identify the person or persons that are putting you through or have put you through these. Once you have done those two things, you need to really take a moment and understand that only that person(s), along with yourself, is accountable for what has been or is being done to you. Don't be a victim any longer! Let go and let GOD. You can't change what has happened to you, but you can definitely impact what you won't let happen to you again. That doesn't mean you "hoard" your "emotions" from your previous experiences, this just means you need to be a little more meticulous with your interactions with other people. Take you time with this one. However, don't put them through the ringer or attempt to make them compete for your love. After awhile, just share with them what you have been through and together you two decide if you want to work on something or towards something. Being an "Emotional hoarder" is very discouraging and I don't want any of you to miss out on your soul mate because you were/are too busy trying to hold on ol' boy/ol' girl. Make a choice to move on. Each one of those negative persons in your present or your past will be fine. They just need to go ahead and call Tyrone. Because after today, you are heading in a new direction and the last thing you need is to allow Mr./Ms. Yesterday to destroy what Mr./Mrs. Today can truly bring you. Everything that fool from the past was incapable of giving you, unlimited ---happiness, love, joy, comfort, and peace.

Shock Value: Entry 246 "Get It Together"

This is another public service announcement brought to you by your neighborhood look out guy.

I am writing you all, my neighbors, to inform you that you all need to "Get It Together" or get out!!! Now, I have been sitting in my window for the past few decades not saying much about how you clowns are destroying my neighborhood. I would say it is ours, but I don't think you all care too much about this place, so you all just waste countless hours doing nothing, but ruining other people's lives;"Get It Together." I am so sick of all your drama, fighting, disrespect, and irresponsibility. We only get one life and you are squandering away the chance the MAN upstairs has given each of you to make a difference in this world; "Get It Together."

I am frustrated with the way you all treat this place, throwing your trash all over the ground; "Get It Together." Does the word, trash can, not mean anything to you? You don't own this land, we are all leasing it from GOD, so it would be nice if you and your trash find a home, like a trashcan.

I am tired of the way you fools treat our women, "Get It Together." I know you a grown a$$ momma's boy who believes you are GOD's gift to women, but you aren't. You are just like Jodie, in Baby Boy, "Get It Together." Women put up with your ignorance, not because they have to, but because they love or care for your dumb butt. It would be nice if you showed a little respect for them and at least cheat in private and if you don't refer to your mother as a bi&tch, don't call other women that. Fellas, you need to "Get It Together" for a number of reasons. At the rate we are going, our children won't have a choice but to marry outside of their race, because your son, his friends, and your son's son, will all be dead or locked up in a jail cell trying to be the next Lil Wayne; "Get It Together."

Now ladies, you know the kid got mad love for you, but you need to "Get It Together" too. Stop walking around like you are at a strip club or going swimming. I have seen people with more clothes on in sex scenes in movies. Dress and present yourself with respect and you are more likely to garner the respect you deserve. It's not all about attention. All attention isn't good attention. If you walk around looking sluttish or like you are selling your body parts for the evening, don't get upset when someone tries to buy them; "Get It Together." Stop walking around looking busted too. I don't care if you are running to the store for a quick second, put on some clothes, take off those pajama pants, and for GOD sakes, unwrap your hair wrap or remove the rollers. That is not the business. I don't need to go any further ladies; "Get It Together." One more thing, stop babysitting these supposed grown men, just to say you have someone; its dumb and you look stupid in the end.

Every now and again, we all need to take a second to look at ourselves. Take a look at our circumstance, take a look at our choices, take a look at our relationships, take a look at our life. Its perfectly fine, if you don't have it together, but you need to work to "Get It Together." We need you all to be on your best as much as possible, because this world is depending on you. Now one is perfect, but as I always say, there is nothing wrong with shooting for being darn near perfect. "Get It Together" or go find a very high bridge that covers a large body of water, and jump off the side. Please don't try to swim, just sink to the bottom and stay there. Some of you idiots might float back to the top without even trying, dang. Just "Get It Together " people! There is no time like the present.

Shock Value: Entry 245 "Walls"

"Walls" are absolutely necessary. "Walls" are an important part of any structure. "Walls" lend support to any foundation of a building. "Walls" separate rooms and they give us our own personal space. But the mental "Walls" each of us have can be detrimental to our life or our livelihood.

"Walls" are made for support. "Walls" are the relationship barrier between the floor and the ceiling. These types of "Walls" are of uber (look it up) importance. But our personal "Walls" and not the ones you can see, hinder us from building functional relationships and sometimes put barriers between what we don't think we need and what we actually need. I understand each of us have our own justification as to why we put up "Walls." Most of us have been hurt, taken advantaged of, abused, misused, or talked about until we can barely face the morning sun. But, we have to be careful about the "Walls" we build around us. Sometimes these "Walls" can box us in and keep out what we truly deserve. In some instances, these "Walls" do keep away the negativity, hatred, hurt, and discourse that life brings our way, but that doesn't mean we have to keep these "Walls" up surrounding us at all times.

I don't want to sit here for once and make it seem like I understand your situation, life, circumstance or dispositions, but one thing I do know is sometimes our "Walls" make it impossible for those who really care for us to reach out to us. Sometimes we build these "Walls" so high, so strong, and so impenetrable, that people who really want to be there for us, get to know us, and grow old with us are forced to walk away, because they can't scale our "Wall," break down our "Wall," or they just can't simply understand why we have a "Wall" up in the first place. It is absolutely necessary for you to protect yourself. I mean everyone in this life doesn't have your best interest in mind. But some do. The last thing you want to happen is for your soul mate or Mr/Ms Destiny to walk away because you are so buried behind your "Wall" that they can't hug you through it, walk you through it, love you through it, or worst of all, get you to come out from behind it.

In essence, that's why GOD made contractors. You stick to your trade or area of expertise and allow them to do the "Wall" building. Tear down those "Walls" today!

Shock Value: Entry 244 "Titles"

I was watching the A-Team yesterday. Not that crap bollywood destroyed most recently, but the actual classic television show from the 80's. I heard a line on an episode that really gave me pause for a moment. It stated, "Titles" are the shields that weak men hide behind." Immediately, I was like wow, that is so true.

Now, just in case you don't understand, let me elaborate. "Title" is this instance is like: frat brother, boss, president, supervisor, pastor, captain, sorority sister, manager, choir director, general, CEO, etc. Not the "Title" of a movie or a book. I was amazed when I heard this because so many people get caught up in "Titles." All of us do it actually. I found myself "pulling rank" just recently, and to tell you the truth I was embarrassed and I still am. I know better. People should respect the person and the work you do, not your "Title." If people listen to you because of your "Title" they genuinely don't have respect for you. I think don't think all people with "Titles" are bad, but we all know some people who would be invisible to this earth if it wasn't for the little power they were given because of the position / "Title" they hold. I truly think of "Titles" as I think of clothes. The "Title" doesn't make the man, the man should make the "Title."

Not only do people get caught in the managerial/supervisor type of "Titles" but relationship "Titles" too. People don't take time to enjoy the whole courting process anymore. They meet you on today, and want to wife you on tomorrow. Is that a sign of desperation, or is it the pressure from family or society to have someone, or just be with someone? I think it may be a mixture of both and a touch of people are afraid to be single or alone these days. Thus, they seek acceptance through "Title" seeking. They just want to be included in something. They just want to be loved by someone, even if its just fiction. Can you blame them? Actually, I kind of feel sorry for them. I am amazed at how quickly people move from the dating, getting to know you phase to that's my wo/man phase. But some people crave "Titles" like they crave attention.

I am not a "Title" seeker at all. But, just like most of you, I have abused my "Title", power, and influence once or twice. I am in no way bragging or proud of this, but I am being honest with you and myself, with the hopes that you too will take a moment to recognize your mistakes too. I don't want to be one of those cowards/weak men, who need a "Title" to make them a Real Man. Like I said, the "Title" does not garner you respect. People respect work and experience. You can hold any "Title" in the world, but if you don't have support, you are just a King/Queen with now Kingdom/Queendom.

Shock Value: Entry 243 "For Granted"

I hate to say it, but all of us take things "For Granted" that we shouldn't. I mean we take things "For Granted" that are both small and large. For instance, time. All of us take time "For Granted." The saying goes, you should never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, but all of us do it. We waste time, like it is always going to be there. Most of us misuse and abuse time because we don't see the urgency in getting things done ahead of time. We procrastinate on about everything we have to do. But, what I do know is with everything that is going on in this life, all of us need to stop taking time "For Granted" and start being more thankful for the time we have and stop mistreating it. Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.

Time isn't the only thing we take "For Granted." We take something that should matter to all of us "For Granted," family. Family is so important, but we most certainly take it "For Granted." We stay down the street from our love ones, but due to an argument over something dumb, we aren't even speaking. It takes a few minutes to pick up the phone and call your mom/dad, but you are always too busy. You and your brother/sister were inseparable when you two were growing up, but because s/he is dating someone you don't think is good enough for them, you all don't even speak. Ask yourself: is it really worth it? We need to stop taking family "For Granted." After all, you only get one.

More personal than the other two, and most important, we ALL take GOD "For Granted." We don't pray like we should, fast like we should, or worship like we should. I mean we would rather go to a party/club on Saturday night knowing we planned to go to the 8am service on Sunday, and of course we make the party/club, but not church. That whole, GOD knows my heart line, is true, but not to be abused. While it is true that GOD does know your heart, HE also knows that you should be more appreciative of the things HE has provided for you. We need to stop taking GOD "For Granted" today. Not only did HE send HIS son to die for our worthless souls, but HE continues to love us in spite of and in the midst of it all.

I think MONDAY is most appropriate to have this topic. It is the beginning of most work weeks and of course most of you hate Mondays. Mostly, because you don't like your job. But, check the unemployment rate in the U.S. right now. Don't take your job "For Granted" either, because there is someone who is sleeping in a suit every night waiting to get that call for the spot you are ungratefully occupying. There is so much to be thankful in this life. Yes, we don't have everything we want, but we have everything we need. Time is of the Essence. Family is the backbone of society. GOD is so amazing and has given you a chance to fulfill your dreams and destiny even though you don't deserve it. Stop taking things "For Granted" immediately! You have to make the best out of the cards you have been dealt. It's your hand, play it the best way possible, but just know, THE LORD GIVETH AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY.
