Hatred is the Anger of the Weak.

"Jealousy is an inner consciousness of ones own inferiority, Its is mental cancer" -(Forbes)

Yeah what he said. So keep all of that gossip/hatred/jealousy stuff to yourself because I want no part of it, I'm too fly for that....and keep in mind the same 'friends' that go around gossiping with you about other people sure won't have a problem gossiping with other people about you, because either way they're not confident in their own abilities; avoid them, or change your situation...let them know that its not okay with you to be having that conversation. If they aren't on your level then forget about it.


Keep it Cute.

Theres The Beef

Before I went to sleep this morning after drinking a glass of milk a question came to mind, "How do cows become so fat?" All cows do is eat grass and drink milk. Milk which is used to feed infants before they're able to digest 'real' food. Cows milk only contains 3.6% fat. Guinea pigs I can understand with their 46%. What really baffles me about how large these animals are is the fact that they even throw up their food, re-chew it, re-swallow it; so its super digested and another reason for them to not be so big. While cows are born at around fifty to a hundred pounds I really don't see a reason for them to grow so large, what with their diet and everything. I guess cows are just 'big-boned'. Another mystery goes unsolved.

Get It Girl

"A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." -Mahatma Ghandi








Please be good to yourself. Stand up. Say no, even if you're not the person to say no because it makes you uncomfortable. If you don't come out of your comfort zone surely you'll be destined for uncomfort. I mean its okay to give, but it has to be to an extent. Ask yourself this, "How much can I give and still have comfort for myself?" In William Ury's The Power of a Positive No he talks about the difficulties that come along with exercising your power and tending to your relationship. He discusses the power-versus-relationship struggle in a system which he calls "The Three-A Trap," which encompasses: accommodation, attacking, and avoidance.

In the section about accommodation he talks about saying yes when you want to say no. He describes how saying yes when you want to say no is destructive because it undermines your deeper interest. In opposition to his views on accommodation Ury next describes attacking your solicitor, saying no without concern for your relationship. He simulates accommodation with fear and attacking with anger. The third 'A' in Ury's "Three-A Trap" is avoidance, saying nothing at all because your'e afraid of being offensive. Saying nothing never accomplishes anything. Ury uses 'A Powerful No' as the way out of "The Three-A Trap."

Ury explains 'A Powerful No' as the combination of using your power and reserving your relationship. He talks about how saying NO is actually saying YES; saying yes to yourself and protecting what is important to you. Then hes says how a 'Positive No', in short, is a Yes! No. Yes?. The first yes being an affirmation of your being. The second Yes being an invitation to come to a mutual agreement. He distinguishes the difference between a positive no and accommodation is the respect you give to yourself and your desires. He describes the difference between attacking and a positive no as the respect you give your solicitor as you say no to their demand;standing on your feet and not on their toes.

I didn't actually read this book. I just happened across it while searching for a quote that was relevant to the theme of my blog entry. Everything above came from the little pop up that Amazon gives you to preview a book. This was not supposed to be a book report but I'm tired and Grizzly Bear Came on my Jango while I was typing and it just lured me in .

Im going to be great today!!! Join me please!!!!
Im going to love you for free.

Soilder of Love

Putting myself first doesn't mean, I hate you. It just means I LOVE ME! I can't dull my shine just because your'e walking next to me. When I shine just shine with me...or don't. I'm acting brand new. I'm aiming for the stars and I expect those who I surround myself with to do the same. Theres a reason for the people who didn't make it this far with me...be it my fault or theres. I'm not in the least bit bitter, under the premise, breakups leave room for trade ups. Like Weezy says "If you leave me, you're leaving the best and you'll just have to settle for less." I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else but without your dopeness your'e hopeless. Get With It. ha ha idk I'm tripping thanks to following Rev.Run on twitter that man is my inspiration. As a matter of fact that whole family inspires me. They just have so much swagg with their familiarity of life. Never anything negative to say. I mean I'm sure they have their downs, such is life, but they bounce back so eloquently. Definitely a family to follow. With that said ill be done keep this in mind until next we speak

Jigsaws Falling Into Place.

"Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort." Paul J. Meyer The weather today is beautiful. At around fifty degrees its become evident that spring is close. I love it. Walking out into the sun with no jacket on feels great. I'm satisfied with the direction my life is heading in and I plan on keeping it moving. I got a new outfit today and all my hair products and things of that nature so I think Ill be done spending on my manscapes for the week. I'm really trying to get another car...a good one. It still rattles my brain how much money I put into fixing my old car. Its all good though. Ill just take that as the price of one more lesson learned, but I digress. I'm really happy with 2010. It started in the red room with my boys followed by a stay at the Chelsea Hotel In New York {Love New York} for my baby Marcs first art exhibit...were going back in February for Marcs bday, stupid hype about that hopefully Leebaby can make it this time. Since then theres been nothing but good times. I mean I work as hard as I play but its been worth it. My home girl SueJay just came down to visit {Love her} and everything just feels right. I'm done rambling for now so until next time healing hopes and happy thoughts my loves.

Set backs are just setups for comebacks. Even if you stopped me you couldn't stop me. The kids got too much ambition.


Im good just as I am. I approve of myself at all times. {power thought via a.sims.}

Moral of the Story is



No one Belongs Here More Than You. ♥


Confidence 1 a : a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances

I Get Out



I've been kinda obsessed with Lauryn Hill Unplugged this month. I really dig what she has to say about some things. I get it. I've been there. Shes just an amazing artist. For me Lauryn's Unplugged performance goes along with the line in India.Arie's song Video when she says "Ain't nothin that Im sayin law This is a true confession of a lifelong lesson Ive been sent here to share with yall." Throughout Lauryn's performance she pours out her heart. I feel the emotion and I just vibe with it. Needless to say this albums going into the archives. GET INTO IT...

I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change

[Verse 1]
Your stinkin' resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your polution
I won't support your lie no more
I won't even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more
I can't be victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
Cuz now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you'd loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin' is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin'
Your guilt trip's just not workin'
Repressin' me to death
Cuz now I'm choosin' life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That's how I choose to live

[Pause]

[Singing rest of Verse 1]
That's how I choose to live...
Hehehehe, awhh
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin' through mind control
Stealin' my eternal soul
Appealin' through material
To keep me as your slave

[Singing Chorus]
But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin' my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change

[Singing Verse 2]
See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling's no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin' true expression
Cementin' this repression
Promotin' mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh, let my Father's will be done

[Singing Chorus]
And just get out
Oh, just get out of all these bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin' freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change

[Singing Verse 3]
I've just accepted what you said
Keepin' me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you've had everyone believed
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul
Oh, and escape this mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you servin'
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you're deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave

[Singing Chorus]
Oh, just get out
Of this social (?)-----> PURGATORY
Just get out
All these traditions are alive
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let's get out
Let's get out
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out

todays of inspiration...

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
