Skippa skippa gimme one more chance?

So.... recently I found myself crushin on this girl. Its nothin serious yet, but I am feelin her a lot. Aint really felt this way about a girl since.... the ex. Lol (dun dun duuuuuun) anyway we talked about it && she told me she's feelin me back or whatever, so everything is copestetic for the most part. I'm hopin it can become sumn more than the infatuation stage. We can talk literally for hours about anything. Which is cool cuz she actually can respond to my comments intelligently && with wit. She's beautiful on the inside which is a quality I admire in women. Aside from the fact that theres an obvious sexual chemistry there, I actually find myself wanting to get to know her more ya know? I don't wanna get all mushy && what not but picture this:

Imagine finally findin someone that you connect with on more than one level. Someone who understands your weird sense of humor && actually can hang with your jokes, who you feel you can listen to for hours on end because everything they say is like lyrics to your favorite song. Who you don't want to seem eager to rush into anything with but @ the same time want to have them all to yourself. Someone who is so indented in your mind that you remember their scent from when you hug them [is that weird?] Who you want to know everything about, fav color, food, sex position ;-) lol whose eyes are like the moonlight. && body is like a red velvet cake with chocolate icing.(for those who don't get the anology, im basically saying how all that sugar may not be good for you, but @ the same time you know if u had the chance you would tear that shit up... lol)


Damn there I go runnin on && on again... lol
Anyway I say that to say this... don't give up on love/relationships just yet, cuz when you least expect it god can place somebody in you life that can change you whole way of thinking....



Think about it.

Current Affairs...

So... I've realized that I'm not gon be on here everyday like originally planned but I will check back here weekly just to recap && what not...

Shout out to all the folks that showed love to the blog man....I'm really determined to do this from the heart; this is my way of venting && pouring out my brain to the masses && I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback.

THANK YOU.


*SIGH* now that that's out the way... here we go....

I got sumn big comin up in the works... get ready

Motivation

As I sit back in this car, inhale this marijuana, scarf down these sour patch kids, && reflect over my day && my week for that matter It feels good to know that I have love && support from my family. Not just my the members of my immediate family, but my extended family. My brothers. I was ridin in the car earlier wit kool john && he randomly checked up on me, asked me about whats goin on in my life, && how I'm livin... basically makin sure I'm still on track towards reaching my goals.

Of course this is stuff I already know but he just reinterated how crucial && important it was for all of us to succeed in our lives. Us coming from where we come from, its not really "the norm" for ppl to make it out. So whatever we do we gotta go hard or go home. Do everything to our maximum potential. It was really nice to hear encouraging words from ppl you look up to

Don't get me wrong, richmond is a beautiful city with a lot of potential, && not all parts of it are bad. I feel there is a stigma involved where everyone feels that if you from richmond, smh... the bay area even that you are hood, grimey, wit the shit, etc. Because that is what's glorified out here. So us being who we are as young black men I feel we should change that stereotype on ur city by being a living success...

Damn I hella went off on a tangent... lol

But yah...... kool john said it best "we're a collective group of individuals, && we support each other, that's why we stand out in a crowd. We all have different goals && aspirations && we are motivated && inspired by each others accomplishments...." like I find it coincedental how we all wanna have a career in the media/entertainment industry. Like me, I'm going to be involved in radio && hopefully television as an on-air personality, john is gonna do film, rossi && rance are involved in music. && that's just our inner circle. On a grander stage, everyone we assoiciate with are talented ppl... && its crazy how we are so
Focused but we all know how to have fun... its a balance......

Just a thought......

Leaders Of Da New Skool

Heres just some sillyness for you... ill tell ya.. those LNS boys sure know how to have fun.















Pretty ricky

Inspiration to Be Great... ER.


OK, I'm so addicted to this blogging stuff man... kinda cool.

Uh... Yesterday i was in my African American Psychology class and my teacher Dr. Tharpe showed us this interesting documentary. It was called The Black List. It was real good and it caught my attention. it was by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Elvis Mitchell. their collaboration presents a fascinating series of mini portraits of 20 influential African Americans. This inspirational and varied group of prominent artists, CEOs, politicians, and activists share their individual experiences and viewpoints in regard to societal, familial, and personal identity. Each interview served as a potent illustration of empowerment in the face of unique limitations and broader obstacles.

the list included ppl like Al Sharpton, Bill T Jones,Chris Rock,Colin Powell,Dawn Staley,Faye Wattleton,Kareem Abdul Jabbar,Keenen Ivory Wayans,Lorna Simpson,Lou Gossett,Mahlon Duckett,Marc Morial,Richard Parsons,Russell Simmons,Sean Combs,Serena Williams,Slash,Steve Stoute,Susan Rice,Suzan-Lori Parks,Thelma Golden,Toni Morrison,Vernon Jordan,William Rice, and Zane (sidenote: who else knew that Zane was a fat lady? i sure didn't... lol that lady got a wild imagination boy reminds me of myself =p)


The Black List unveils a broad canvas of issues, including the shock waves Bill T. Jones felt from his contemporaries after referring to himself as an artist first and black second, Chris Rock discussing how he believes equality in baseball was only achieved when there were also bad black baseball players in the major leagues, and Vernon Jordon noting that there is a definition of black America, but none for white America. This country’s institutionalized racism is addressed as actor Lou Gossett Jr. speaks about his lack of acting offers after winning his Oscar, and museum curator Thelma Golden recounts how people mistakenly thought she actually only worked for Thelma Golden. These experiences contrast with Toni Morrison’s description of the encouragement she received in her childhood, specifically in not feeling threatened by being a woman.

man now that I'm looking at this, its starting to look like a review. so we'll call it that. see I'm well versatile... any way that was vol. 1. vol. comes out on the 26 of this month.. i suggest you check it out.... what dude from Reading rainbow used to say? "well. dont just take my word for it..." haha

adidas Consortium B-Ball Pack


A defining court silhouette, the Forum’s 1984 introduction redefined premium performance. A Velcro strap offered extra support alongside innovative lacing details and a Dellinger-web assisted midsole attached to an outsole that could dominate outdoor courts as easily as the hardwood offered extra versatility. High quality with a pricepoint to match, it carried a reputation for offbeat makeups, amplified here on his Consortium duo of mid and low variations. Taking natural design cues from the bold colours of pumpkins and watermelons, from stripe markings to ridged textures and seed-themed lining, these are immediately evocative of their freshly picked inspiration, mixing bright and darker tones perfectly for a pack that’s truly unique, completed with the signature Consortium blue eyelet.

Fuck all the other shit.. im coppin these joints B

Love vs. Infatuation

I found somethin real interesting on the net today... thought I'd put it up... I know so many that dont know the difference....

Infatuation


Sees the other person as perfect
Wants to get own needs met; selfish
Spends all time with the other person
Quickly “falls” for the other person
Other relationships and friendships deteriorate
Dependence on the other person causes
Jealousy frequently
Lasts for a short period of time
Distance strains and often puts an end to the relationship
Quarrels are serious and common
Quarrels can seriously damage the relationship


Love

Sees the other person’s flaws and still loves them
Wants to serve the other person; selfless
Still spends time with others
Takes time to build the relationship
Other relationships and friendships grow stronger
Trust and understanding results in less severe and less frequent jealousy
Encompasses a long-term commitment
Survives and sometimes is strengthened because of distance
Quarrels are less serious and less often
Quarrels can strengthen the relationship


Infatuation can be so tempting. But the question is, do I want a lasting, satisfying relationship? If so, infatuation isn’t the answer. Look at your relationships through the grid above. Infatuation isn’t a bad thing, as long as we don’t base a relationship on it.
Perhaps finding real love begins with God, the one who created relationships.

Man.. Life/Love is Crazy....

The other day I was havin a convo with one of my good female friends && she was tellin me how her ex boyfriend "came back from the dead" basically comin back into her life a changed man with his head on his shoulders && she fell back in love with him.... && it made me think.... will that happen to me? Will I get a second chance @ fallin in love?


We got on the subject of types.... I told her umm I don't feel I have a specfic type.... but lately I've been drifting more towards exotic lookin girls... I dunno... sumn about em gets me excited... lol but I like whatever catches my eye... if u look good... ima get a good look... [ if that makes any sense]


Its like I know what I'm doing, but @ the same time is so confused ya know? Me and love are beefin right now cuz so far I can't seem so find a woman that intrigues && stimulates both my body && my mind...Crazy comin from a guy right? I know... its like I've tried so many times to make shit work wit different ppl, but you know shit just fades out... more often than not its from the girl not being as solid as I thought she was, or switchin up on me when its crunchtime.


Don't get me wrong I'm not woman bashin or nothin... I love the female species && everything about it. I also enjoy a little challenge everynow && then to keep me on my toes && whatnot... but based on my past history I haven't really just connected with nobody on that level yet...I get this stigma... well me and my bros pretty much all got the same reps as us being playboys or whatever... not the case [well.. for the most part.. Cuz kool john be da ladies man Lol] we have all given love a shot, only to be disappointed @ the end.... I say that to say this.... I believe in love && all that but when it aint yo time it aint yo time.

Can Vs. Should

Welp, heres somethin thats been on my mind lately...


When it comes to experiencing what I want out of life, I hate when people are quick to tell me what I can or can’t do. I think the people who are quick with the “cans and can’ts” usually based them on their own limitations…which you should know by now doesn’t sit to well with me.



What works best for me is asking myself ”should I” instead of “can I” do something. It produces a huge difference in outcome, especially when I feel my innate abilites are a gift and a curse. I really feel/think that I can do anything that I put my mind to…but should I?

shoutout to the think movement.
