Personal Perception
Hey folks, its Wednesday again, another week down the drain. So its time to get it in...
This is just the into into my paper I have to turn in in the morning on how I view myself... I could have easily went on for days on how confident I am in myself cuz you know ima fly ass nigga... lol but nah.I wanted to take a different approach... check it out...
When asked, how do I view myself in society, it makes me think real hard about perception && points of view. Personally, I feel that I am a intelligent young black man. Coming from where I come from, Richmond, Ca its a stigma involved where all the males are "hood." That is the stereotype. Its not "cool" to have an education, && in order to survive you need to do illegal things. However, I break that stereotype because I am the opposite of all of that. I was fortunate to have a family that moved me out of that situation before I went down that road.
On a belief level I feel that people find their beliefs not only through what they've been taught but also through what they've learned from personal experiences. Me for example, my parents && other family members have instilled their beliefs in me && expect me to follow suit. In some ways I do. However coming from a different generation with different circumstances, my perspective of things can become distorted from what they have taught me, && I can make my own decisions on what to take from me upbringing ans adapt it to my life
As a person, I'd like to think I'm very compassionate && caring towards all people. Also I'm very forgiving, I don't really hold grudges. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not really into the hood life. Its not very appealing. I would like to think of myself as a trendsetter, or a trailblazer, someone who doesn't follow in someone elses footsteps, but uses obsvervations && learns from other people's successes && failures to make my own lane.

Sneaker Lookout: Reebok Pump Omni Lite
There’s something about the Reebok Pump Omni Lite that screams nostalgia, and not for the infamous Dee Brown throwdowns, or the pumping factor, “Pause”. It was the Bill Walton commercials, how many of y’all remember “Pump Up! And Air Out!” These kicks are composed of a purple leather upper accentuated wtih red accents on the side panels, tongue and inner lining. These where previously available only overseas but SneakerBistro has them on deck now.

LOL Stickin' it the Competition?
Before a football match between Argentina and Brazil, an Argentinean condom company came up with this ad to show the Brazilians what they were going to do to them.
However when Brazil won the match, their Football organization replied with…
Brutal.
Translation Please? LMAOOO
When I saw this I was on my back... Anyone feels like partaking... try to translate this... cuz I wanna know what this shit says.. lmao
Smarter than the Average Fool.
I read a quote from a man named Douglas Adams, && it said...
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools"
After reading, I thought && was like Wow! I can dig it. I always find myself rambling on to my cousin about how senseless it is to try to satisfy the fools of he world. I also spoke on it in minor detail, wit the crush last night... Most fools tend to never be satisfied mainly because they don't know any better. A fool by definition means deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding. Like attempting to satisfy a fool makes as much sense as attempting to drain the ocean. Think about it....
So the next time you get caught up tryin to satisfy someone that you've defined as a fool, ask yourself, "umm... && the bigger fool is _____________?"
Your welcome.
