Music plug: Joe Budden

There is a reason why Joe Budden is one of my favorite rappers. I been telling folks to give him a listen for years now. If you haven't had the chance to listen to Mood Muzik 4: A Turn for the Worst, you are missing out and should leave this blog and go find it immediately (okay finishing peeping my posts and then go get it lol).

You have no choice but to relate to his music. Enjoy this video:

Nothing like a good people watch

Today is the first time in a long while where I do not have something to do while on a break between classes. I figured why not take this time out to post something, so here it goes.....

There is nothing like a good people watch. I am currently sitting in the quad at school and just watching people as they walk to and from their destination. I've seen people of all different shapes, sizes, and colors. One of the things that all of these people have in common, is they look like zombies as they walk from class to class. Besides the few people joking around, who are obviously on some kind of break like myself, everybody is in their own world. Either fixed on their phones or zoned out by the music on their ipods. Its like some of them are running on some kind of chip, no interaction with others whatsoever. 

I wonder is this what college is doing to us. It seems like people are under so much stress that they forget that one of the main reasons for being in college in the first place is to network. I wonder if I look like a zombie to others as I am walking around campus. I'm going make sure that I do not look intimidating to others or look like a zombie while walking around campus.

The motto flows accordingly

The Challenge

This week I have challenged myself to blog at least once everyday, through Friday. Let's see how this goes.


While going through this process of becoming a man and growing up, I find my mind wandering all over the place. I feel a separation from most of my friends, my family does not really understand what I'm going through and for the only person who even cares to listen, I can't put these thoughts into words so she can understand them. Lost is a feeling that has come up often. But i guess all these thoughts will have some positive outcome eventually. Until then I will keep it pushing and smiling like nothing is wrong.

even when I don't know, the motto still flows.....

Keeping it 100

I find that when most problems come up, "keeping it 100" is often the best way to resolve the issue.
For those who don't know, "keeping it 100" means basically to be completely honest about everything. Leave nothing in the gray, address the problem and get to the solution. Relationships will be maintained through "keeping it 100". If a "friend" cannot accept the fact that you are being honest with them, then the friendship doesn't really run too deep, and should be re-evaluated (honestly).

One of the things that is "required" in any friendship of mine is that we "keep it 100". I don't need a group full of "yes men", no improvement will be made. Don't be afraid to tell me that my idea is stupid or that my poem is wack. Just keep it 100 proof and we will be good.


With that being said..

No days off!

My Mindset

Lately, I've been going through the pressures of life and trying to figure out exactly what it is that I want from it. I have many avenues that I want to enter and many lanes that I want travel. The problem is that all of these things are within my reach. The hard part is choosing which road I want to go down first. So I thought to myself, why not just work towards all of them and which ever comes up first I will roll with that for a while. So I am changing my major to something that will help me in this goal of working with people, sociology with a concentration in family, with hopes of pursuing a Master's in counseling. So I'm on track with goal number one. Goal number two is dropping extremely soon, Liberal Society Clothing..look out for us!

Goal number three is going to be intertwined with goal number two, this is being a businessman. Well, sort of. I figured instead of investing in something else, why not just invest in myself and this brand. Instead of a businessman, I'll just work towards becoming a business and do things the way I want. This is also coming to a reality. "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business man."

My mindset is that of a hustler. Word to my mother for that. "My grandmother's daughter aint raise no sucka!"

I'm motivated and ready to take the world by storm. Not really tying to change the world, just the way you look at it!

Hard Work

Making a dream come true is definitely hard work. These past few days I have been working hard, trying to balance mid terms, this blog and also this clothing brand. Liberal Society Clothing is dropping sooner than you think, mid terms are almost over and this blog has become a passion. Basically, all this hard work is worth it. If you see me around, ask me for a sticker or a flyer....

now more than ever the motto flows....
