Lately
I been thinking about blogging but just haven't actually sat down and wrote
suttin. I guess the fact that I haven't wrote anything lately made me realize
that I actually have a good amount of people that follow my shit. Couple of the
homies been asking "wats up with the blogs? You didn't post nuttin in over a
month". I guess its a mix between getting some shit 2gether in my life, getting
ready for summer and the tight schedule of work, family and quality time with
the lil monster and mama. So its not that I haven't wanted 2 write cuz I get
ideas all day..... So wit no further ado your boy webb is back @ it, imma hit
the ground running. Hit yall wit another one every other day sorta like Lil
Wayne was dropping freestyles in the summer of 07.
There are a couple of topics that emerged recently that Imma talk about but
instead of yall reading and closing the page I actually wanna kno how yall feel
about em because, the writing is therapy 2 me but I also wanna kno what yall
think too.

Fake is the new Real
I don't see what the point in fronting for general population when not matter what you tell the world the person that matters the most (you) knows your full of it. I never waste my time amping myself up 2 other people, there is two reasons why. First off idc what others think of me, and all lying does is put pressure on you to keep up with those lies. I think this summer imma take the job of calling people bluff cuz enough is enuff lol.
Road Rage
I can't realy criticize people that suffer from road rage because I am also a victim of it. I mainly have hate for cab drivers and dollar vans, I don't understand how these ppl drive for a living and still can't drive for shit. But not as bad as some people I have been riding with. I kno people that if they get cut off will speed up and chase the car down, the funniest part is its just 2 give the other driver a mean mug. What about those that start cursing and screaming at the driver, mind you its the middle of winter and all the windows are up, lol what are you yelling 4. What about the person who will tailgate the car that cuts them off, or the person that will cut u off and slow down in front of you. The cops are notorious for cutting someone off then driving 15 miles per hour in front of you, make me wanna just beep the horn or cross the F-ing line.......
The thing I leaned about road rage is you can't tell who has it until they are behind the wheel. They can be the coolest, calmest person outside the care but a crazy mothafucka behind the wheel. As cool and calm as my mom is even she has a slight bit of road rage in her, it is the funniest thing to me to see her get mad.
I could go on for days about different things that piss ppl off and there reaction to it. But I rather some of yall tell me bout your expereinces.

Misunderstood
I hear some people tell me you Webb you stay spazzing, or are u aight. I am always good, if you really know me you would know that there is not much that can really bother me because I plan so far ahead that I'm think I got shit all together. I admit to some people I might come off as having a aggressive or snappy attitude but I take it as I don't have the time to be snappy wit anyone. If I don't like someone I would simply ignore them instead of going through a back and forth arguing match.
I feel that I am one of the realist niggas you could meet simply cuz I say what I feel and mean what I say. But I guess at the same time this is what can turn some people off because they can't handle the truth, the rather the friend that tells them everything they wanna hear. If someone only tells you shit you wanna hear 9 times out of 10 they are not your friend, they just playing the role. So I say take me as I am or don't fuck wit me.

males that act like females.... my patience saved my job :-D
I walk into work 640 this morning to grab my hard-hat and head upstairs 2 work. I say morning to everyone or for this Homo foreman to say "good evening", implying that I'm late. Mind you union rules state we don't have 2 be on the job until 655. Anyway I smirk grab my hard hat and walk upstairs, knowing I wanted 2 say goodnight in return just 2 be a dick. This is only my second day on this job site and I'm only supposed to be here for a few days until I go back 2 my old boss. You would think this dick head would just relax himself until I leave. Anyway the beef that we have with each other stems back from over a year ago. I was one of maybe 10 apprentices on his 1st job as a foreman. He tried to play this tough guy boss and put fear in everyone, but I mean let's get serious wft would I be nervous for. The only thing he has the power to do is lay me off and with all the work I do and am capable of doing I don't fear that. I do my job everyday and could find a job in a day. Anyway as he realized that he couldn't make me uncomfortable like he could some of the other apprentices he began to dislike me. I don't really give a fuck as long as my check is there on thursdays. So that's why I can smirk at his bitch ass when he talk shit. In my mind all I'm thinking is cha-ching$$$$$$.

Dinning out
The Food- have you ever ordered a steak well done and it come back rare as hell. In this situation what do you do, I know me I will push that to the side and order something else, I will never send that back to get cooked some more.(NO WAY). They not gonna take my food 2 the back and give me the special. I rather eat nuttin then get back a special. So if you got any complaints about your meal please wait til after I get my food :-).
The server- I know you have been someplace ordering food before and you can see the person preparing the food. If you see them looking a lil suspect wouldnt u have a change of heart. I have saw a dude at a philly cheese steak spot making the phillies and he was hot as hell because he is standing over the fire. Next thing I know he is sweating right over the food. I was like wtf suddenly my stomach was full because I for dame sure wasn't eating that. What about the places you go 2 order food, and they are super clean, everyone wears gloves to prepare your food and all. All the sudden you realize when you pay the man he doesn't take the glove off 2 count the money and return your change, then wtf is the purpose of the glove.
I don't know about you guys but I know whenever I eat from somewhere if possible I try my best to scope out everything from he kitchen, to the chef, to the waiter to ensure I'm getting decent service.

3/30/09
After I get through the day at work I'm thinking I'm home bound 2 a stress free environment and I could kick back. Boy was I wrong before I got home I had 2 kick out a couple of hundred dollars 2 pay bills and get not only 1 but 2 tires for the lex buggy. Now I reach home only 2 be alarmed that I had trouble coming my way. I had nothing to do with it but somehow got stuck right in the middle. I really didn't get 2 upset because I have way bigger fish 2 fry than that situation but it was distrubing 2 even have 2 deal with it. During the time of all this taking place I'm in the midst of trying 2 read a real personal letter from my boy that grew up with me and lived right across the street. He is in florida locked up and is not sure when he is gonna be coming home. All this in one day can I say its all 2 much bs stuffed in the short period of 24 hrs.

Mexico
Kidnapping in Mexico |
The bad news is that kidnappings in Mexico are on the rise. Both Mexicans and foreigners are victims, because in Mexico there are 3 common types of kidnappings. Unfortunately, children are the most targeted group. Second, tourists and middle- or upper-class Mexicans are at risk for "Kidnapping Express," and lastly wealthy Mexican businessmen are also snatched and held for large ransoms.
Kidnapping Children
Children of middle-class or upper-class Mexicans, yet the problem does span all socio-economic levels, are too often stolen away from their families and homes. Kidnappers can work in sophisticated groups, following family members to learn routines or working with the help of hired domestic employees. This is why it is important to carefully screen all residential employees and to avoid flashy displays of wealth in public places.
The Kidnap Express
Kidnapping express is a rapidly growing crime. People are at most risk for this trap when hailing a taxi cab from the street. Once you are inside one of these unauthorized or "pirate" taxi cabs, anything can happen, because no one knows where you are or is held accountable for your whereabouts.
The most likely outcome of the kidnapping express is your credit card or banking account will be emptied. What criminals are most after are your credit cards, cash, jewelry, cellular phones and valuables, in that order. Once they empty your accounts and physically remove your possessions, they will normally release you. One increasingly disturbing spin is that the criminals may contact your family and not release you until a hefty ransom is paid.
Avoid this situation all together by using the authorized taxis lined up at taxi stands throughout the city. Best yet, request a secure taxi over the phone. This way your whereabouts are known by the taxi company. Also, if taking a taxi at night, call a friend to inform them of your whereabouts; also report to your friend the number of the taxi painted on the doors.
Kidnapping for Ransom
Kidnapping for ransom of people believed to be financially affluent (not that many foreigners are targeted) is on the rise. For the most part in Mexico City these gangs are professional and very well-organized. Lately, however, common criminals are also getting into this activity on a large scale.
Kidnapping of the rich and wealthy is a fast-growing crime. It is becoming much more common now in the states of Guerrero and Veracruz, and remains a problem in Mexico City as well. Behind these kidnappings are well-organized criminal gangs. In some cases the culprits are Mexican or international radical groups that obtain obscene amounts of money, in dollars or euros, from this activity.
The wealthy Mexican worried about his protection is normally escorted by private security guards and plans his moves carefully. However, the kidnapping problem is perpetuated because drivers, guards and security personnel are very poorly paid in Mexico. The lack of a living wage for these employees only makes the temptation to be lured in as an accomplish all the more irresistible.
ez button
The staples commercial makes me wonder what would life be like if there really was a easy button. On a daily basis we are faced with challenging decisions. Some decisions are tougher than others but wouldnt life be that much better if there was a easy button. When you run into a jam where your lost on whats right and whats wrong all you have to do is push the big red button to dumb down life for you. There would be no excuse for failure, but laziness might be at a all time high. I highly doubt that I am the only person to ever wish that commercial was true. If I had the ez button option me and all my people would be living the life.

Blink of an Eye
You could play the lotto, wake up the next morning and be a millionare. Everyday someone somewhere hits the lottery and gets that blessing of a helping hand. Does hitting the lotto end all of your problems? No but like Fab said " money can't buy happiness but its a damn good down payment". In other worst money can be used as jumper cables to get your life going in the direction you want but its up to you to make yourself happy and keep it that way.
Any day you can wake up, put your clothes on lace up your shoes, kiss the family tell em lata and that can be your last kiss. You can be going to work and get run down like that Asian woman did last week :-/. I'm sure her family KNEW she would be coming home that day. That's why I try not 2 be on bad terms with my loves ones because you never know what could happen. You down don't want to wish you could apologize and make ways right wit some1 who is no longer with us.
You can be down and out not knowing where your life is gonna end up and then suddenly everything change. At one point I was super depressed, going to college & working two jobs without the moral support or guidance to help me better my situation. I would always say if I can just get a career I would cherish it, not knowing that me going to my brother's orientation with kids from his old high school would be the day to change my life. I met the nicest woman Diane Springer who dedicates her time to placing hs kids in a promising career. That quick my life switched from being stressed with no direction to doing anything and everything to make sure I capitalize on my new opportunity.
Your friends can also be a negative force if you allow them to be. I grew up in ENY you meet all kinds of people in my hood from the roughest hood nigga to the smartest computer wiz. By the time I was in jhs I had a circle of friends that smoked daily and was in a gang, it was @ this time that I realized why hang out with them if we have nothing common. I never been a follower so I cut that crowd right out. I got friends from that side that have college degrees and are a stand out compared to the rest, my homie Jerry is proof that no matter where you come from you can have class and blend in with any crowd of people. The reason behind that is because he has a mind of his own and knows that just because you might be successful with your life of crime doesn't mean that he will strive on hope.
Last but not least is the influence of the drugs...... Liquor, weed etc....... There is a limit to anything, or should I say too much of anything is considered a habit. Alcohol could be used during your leisure time and can be a beautiful thing lol. A lil bit of wavy juice on homie night, the club a sports event makes the situation even better. On the other hand you have the down side of the drugs, this is
when bad decisions are made. Some people make some of the worst decisions while under the influence some include fighting, sex driving etc. Thank god for looking over my homie Shari that her & her homies survived after being hit by a drunk driver :-D. You don't wanna do anything you would regret or that could changed your life instantly so you gotta control your vices. All I can say is do what you feel is right & avoid ad getting into trouble......

NY is overpopulated
Ny is a beautiful city in some ways, you could go to a store anytime @ night and get whatever it is that you want. You could hit manhattan anytime of day or night and enjoy the city life rather its early day shopping or the night life. The best thing about the city is its so diverse, not only do ppl come from all over america they come from all over the world.. You can meet someone from every corner of the world in NY, the reason being is NY is the land of opportunity. The chance of finding a career opportunity is very high but is the price you pay worth it. There is no such thing as privacy in NYC, you gotta be deep in long island or upstate. There is a camera on every other street in manhattan. In bk & queens they are slapping houses in every corner, the city building condos after condos. If ny is already over populated imagine how bad it will be in 10 years time. Me personally idk if I will be here long enough to experience it. I am gonna pack up & head south when I get my money right. I know imma get heat from all you NYC lovers but I had this mind frame since about 16 years old. I guess its that country blood I got that drives me to want house with a lot of land , and personal space for me and my family. Is NY your final destination?

Recession
I was watching the news the other day only 2 hear them talking about a job availability. There was a janitor job opening, just 1 job 730 people applied for it. Its crazy that many people showed up for one job opening.
During a time like this you can separate the strong from the weak. People are going crazy because of this crisis. I admit it got worst than I thought it would but imma hustler at heart either way imma be alright. Some people were either so comfortable with there perfect life that they can't adjust to the struggle. Some are getting desperate and committing crimes while others are willing to commit suicide. About two months ago I read a article about a father that took the life of his 6 kids all under age 11, his wife and last he killed himself. He left a note saying him & his wife had been laid off and can't afford to make it, so instead of letting his family be " a burden on someone else" he will take there lives first. That might be one of the most extreme cases but it goes to show you how far this economic situation has gone.
America has all the control and all the resources we need to never be in this situation right now. This crisis goes to show you how important a vote is, the wrong person in control ( Bush) and look what can happen. When Clinton left office we had a surplus of money, two terms later after Bush ruined the country we are in a recession. Hopefully Obama can help turn this around before I am another victim of the recession. What would you do if you had a job for years, house, car etc and you were losing all of it how would you react. Idk what I would do but I would have to try everything in my power before it got that far.

life
In my lifetime I have been faced with many hardships. The one that seemed to have been haunting me is death. I lost 3 of my childhood friends under the age of 25. Every one took a toll on me and still does as the days go by. I try to look beyond it but almost everything remind me of one of them daily. Still I find a way to live my life and not make my burden weigh nd one down. I had a heartbreak or two in my days. A broken heart can set some1 back, especially when u know u try your best 2 make thinks work. No one wants to believe that there best just isn't enough. Once again life goes on you can't force yourself or your love on some1..... It is there option 2 receive it or refuse it.
Family issues is a major problem. I grew up in a household most would look @ from the outside and say is picture perfect. I got both parents home they both made decent wages but that's not what makes a family. How is it a perfect picture when your parents act like total strangers. There is no communication between the two. As a child growing up watching your mother with tears in her eyes is something that you can and never will 4get. I try my best 2 4give my father for all his pain and stress he put the family through but he will never understand.
My life is all bad. I have a lot to be thankful for. I am 24 years old and maintained a way 2 stay out of trouble thus far. I have a promising career that can carry me far in my future and give my daughter even more opportunities than I had. My love life was never horrible, a few turns came here and there that were unexpected but for the most part I can't complain. I am thankful for meeting Kisha and having our beautiful daughter together. I am also thankful that I have a mother that doesn't judge me but instead encourages me 2 make the best decisions, its still up to me 2 follow.
I say all of this to say if you think you know someone think again there life can be way more complicated than you believe. My life...... Sometimes idk exactly which way its going, when you make 1 step forward sometimes you take two steps back. With that being said I guess I am saying I'm not making any progress. Honestly I don't have time to think about myself, I'm gonna work my best 2 do anything possible 2 better my daughter's life.

Perfect Age
If you're in the age range of 1-17 life can be easy but after a while can get very boring. You are forced to constantly follow instructions and rules from your elders. On the other hand being a child is stress free, no job, no kids, no bills and no worries.
Age 18-25. Those are like the golden years but don't get it twisted they come wit a negative vibe too...... A lot of people over the age of 30 tend to not respect anyone in this age bracket. Most think they are not mature or don't really understand what life is all about.
I personally feel if you reached this age and still don't understand life then you are way behind. This age limit is when your supposed to be getting your life together but also able to have fun.
30's- the age where your young but old. Maturing but still can have fun. Possibly raising a family. Getting the respect you might have been looking for in your twenties. Old enough to kick it with the old crowd or hang out wit the youngins.
Then you got the old head age 40 & up. 40 is the age when its time to start slowing it down a lil. You can still be full of life but not out of control. If you not 100% matured by now then you missed that bus.
I think if I could be one age for the rest of my life I would choose 27. 27 because your almost 30 and at that age you can get respect from the young crowd because your not that far away. At the same time you can get respect from the old heads because your at a age where your matured and been through the enough experiences to get the idea of what life is really about.

Dreams
How about having the dream that you were falling and when your about to hit the ground you wake up. Or even the dream every swears they never had, the "wet dream". How could dreams be so fake but make someone have an orgasm in there sleep. Then there is the funniest dream I ever heard of which is the pee dream. That is one I never can recall having, even as a young child. I'm sure I wet the bed as a youngster but I never had the excuse that I dreamed I was in the bathroom. What kinda dreams do you have and do you believe they come true?

Benji (my dog)
As me and my mom spoke about it we came to realize that we found him when I was only 11 or 12 years old... That would make him 12 when you turn that into dog years he is like 84. In my mind I feel he will be fine but I never saw him like that before so it makes me feel like his clock might be ticking. If it is that time where his life is winding down I won't watch him suffer. I rather let him go and remember the good days.
With pets the cycle of life is always hard. You bring this animal into your home/life/family, its almost like raising another child. The life expentancy is only but so long so you must got thru the crushing reality that eventually they will leave us. My last dog lived 18 human years and we had to put her down. 18 years of having the same dog is a blessing but only made it hurt that much more when she was losing her life. That is sort of how I feel about my lil homie..... I cried 2 keep him, someone left him tied to my gate as a puppy, but my mom didn't want to keep him @ first. After all my crying my mom let me keep him and we fell in love wit him ever since. I think whether or not we have 2 put him 2 sleep now or years 2 come he will be my last dog. I see why they call them a mans best friend. They are loyal and always by our side.
We took him to the animal hospital and they said he had inflamtion in his "inner ear" basically his head. This is common in older dogs, its throwing his balance off, making him vomit, and making him lean to 1 side. They Dr. Said 2/3 of them recover from the illness and his case is not as far gone as he has seen in his practice. We had the option to take him home and give him meds or leave him...... I didn't want to bring him home like that so I figured we leave him in the hospital til weekend hopefully he gets better.

Current Mood
Lately I been happy. When I get angry or depressed I can look @ my phone and see a picture of my daughter that is enuff 2 make me smile. She is so tiny but plays such a big role in my life already. Thanks to everyone that sent text, ims, fb messaes etc. All the love and prayers were necessary..... On another note I can't really complain to mch right bot now, a lot of ppl don't have a consistent form of income in this recession and I'm able 2 go out and grind everyday, I must say that's a blessing..... I just had my brother in town for about a week wit his family eventhough I was occupied half the time they were here I still enjoyed there stay. I been out wit the homies lately a few times lately, and I hope that continues niggas gotta stick close. I'm kinda mad bout this basketball tourny that I been playing in but thats another story. I got my v-day party coming up next friday in guest house, a lot is going on right now. I must say this blog is more like a cluster of ideas but I haven't been on in a minute and just had a lot of things on my mind. I'm on my blog grind again sorry for the time off.......

J.W.B. Ent
From a young age I have been what you can call the popular kid. As I got older and started hitting the party scene, I always wondered what would happen if I threw my own party. I wondered if it would be a success or a flop, but I never had the nerve to throw one. After years of promoting for friends & family, I figured I would get out there on my own. I joined forces with two of the coolest dudes you could meet, Jevon & Burns. Together we are J.W.B Ent.
We came up with the idea of throwing a party together because all three of us are pretty popular with completely different crowds. After we decided to join forces we came up with the idea of 8.8.08. Clubs thought it was a game when we said all we need is us three to sell ot the club. We got turned down by a few clubs, others offered us a deal but at a high cost. We decided we would put all our eggs in one basket and give it a shot. We went hard with promotion, ticket sales etc. To make sure we get a crazy turn out. We got one of the livest dj's in the city my son Dj Icey to hold us down. All we had to do was wait it out. As 8.8.08 came we sold that f*cking club out. 2 floors of people jam packed all due 2 the love us 3 niggas receive.
After the party, we came out ok especially since it was our first party. The club owner instantly jumped on the bandwagon, gave niggas a couple of free parties and discount rates. We got to that point all through grinding. We kicked off about 15 parties from summer to now, 08 was great but 09 we about 2 shine. We got the first party of the year kicking off feb 13th @ guesthouse with many more to follow. We gonna have this shit popping b4 the year is over.

R.I.P. SGT Watt
When I first met the homie Kim at the age of like 12 I was ready 2 kick his ass. Part of that is because he reminded me so much of myself with the teasing and sense of humor. Henz introduced to him on the block, 1st thing out his mouth was " who is this lil nigga henry, get him off my block". In my mind I'm like is this punk ass kid serious. So I tell Henz me and my boy bout 2slap him. Henz say that just how he is, he joking but he don't know when not to. As the years went by I started 2 realize more and more just how much of a big kid he really was. There were numerous times we almost had 2 fight because he would be fucking with sum1 that didn't want to joke around. We played so much endless days of sports between basketball, football and street baseball.Its like me, henz, kim and the homie yannick were destined 2 be kicking it until we was old and grey.
Now when I go 2 the block its just me and henz.
I feel like we was robbed of a fun filled future due to his untimely death. I can say that I don't regret any of the time we spent 2gether. Also I am happy that we shared a mutual respect where we could let each other know how much we cared about each other without worrying about being a macho loser. All I can say is words can express the emptiness I feel when I think of my homie. I got him tatted on my back, and I wear my American flag hard hat everyday @ work with his name inside in his memory. June 3rd 2007 is official the turning point and worst day I experienced. Homie you will never be forgotten, we love you and miss you SGT. Kimel Watt, see you on the other side ;-(.

Kew Kew
After my past relationships the ups and downs I told myself that I would take it ez and worry bout myself. I felt as if it was too much energy being exerted working on a relationship while also trying to betta myself....... After I flapped my wings a lil and entered the BACHELOR CLUB I felt free of stress and a cloudy mind. I exelled in my career, friendships and family time. I felt instead of devoting my time to a woman I would devote my time 2 myself. I vowed to be single until I'm 25, go play the field and not get involved until my personal goals were conquered. I reached a few of my goals but have more to go, so how is it that I'm involved with my Kew (the mother of my daughter).
We both met on the vibe. We had intentions of being homies not really much more. I had an attraction 2 her though, but I told myself we gonna keep it on the homie level. Idk wat happened but between the long convos & the day I saw them long yellow legs in a dress my feelings started 2 change. We would kick it every other day after work/ skool. I pulled away from the chicks I know that wanted more than friendship in order not to jeapordize my new thing. I was rapidly catching feelings but in the back of my head denying them. (Because I vowed 2 myself 2 be single til 25). The homies were telling me "Webb u slipping, thought u said u was chillin".... My response was "I am chilling" until it was obvious I definitely wasn't. I think we both realized at the same time that our relationship grew kinda fast but didn't have any intentions of turning back. She could have ran back to old boy, or I could have ran back 2 old girl. That wasn't really an option because I believe there is a reason that your ex is your ex. Besides Nat told me she would kick my ass if I let kew kew go back 2 her ex :-(......... I feared for my life lol. Nah on some real shit tho I'm happy I met Nat & my son Mir Mir through getting close wit kew.
I live with no regrets and til this day I can say I believe I made the right decision. Me and Kisha can be light day and night from time to time but things seem 2 work out, sometimes I wanna drop-kick her but I know her anger comes out because she cares so much. Since I'm more the friendly outgoing type, very active , while she is the homebody type we bump heads. This is the majority of the problems we have, I like 2 kick it with the homies and party etc, but don't get it twisted I put my work in. I might see her more than any of my mans see there chick. We been waiting patiently for our "lil monkey" (Kaylin). This is a new chapter of life for the both of us. I'm willing to see how it will play out. My old heads tell me either one of two things will happen. Either you will become closer or more distant. Only time will tell, but I'm sure things will be fine.

Fork in the Road
With all that being said knowing that I said my dream was to become a skilled carpenter should I settle for less. I have some sort of job security with my company because they have years of work lined up. But if your not 100% happy what exactly does the job security mean. Sometimes I feel like I should find a escape from my company and flap my wings elsewhere, because I feel like a caged bird sometimes. With the economy being messed up and my daughter on the way I fear trying to move on then have to spend a couple of months or weeks on the out of work list. What would you do?

MLK
Today is the day that we pay respect to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Everyone is excited because tomorrow is another big day for blacks because Obama will be sworn into office as the President of the United States. It took us to run through 43 other presidents before we got a shot at the title. I believe Obama becoming president is the best honor a civil rights activist such as MLK Jr., Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, etc could have. During the time they were fighting to make America truly a land of opportunity. The goal seemed so far away. I wish they could see how far we came.
This is a battle that is still not won. There is still inequality in America, only difference is its disguised. Are you proud to be black everyday? Do you try to better yourself not only for personal value, but to change the stereotype of our people? Do you stand up against things that you know are wrong or unfair? Or do you just take whatever comes you way and deal with it?.
I don't feel that enough blacks are proud blacks and educated on there history. If they were there wouldn't be so many black on black crimes. Our jail system wouldn't be flooded with blacks. Everytime I turn on the tv and see "Tyrone" being escorted by police in cuffs I just smh. Even the ones that make it through the struggle still don't want to escape that lifestyle. We got millionaires going to jail ( T.I., O.J, etc). If everyone took responsibility to be a positive force for out race we would be making progress more rapidly.
I wonder why do people that don't wake up and feel proud to be black EVERYDAY act like they are on MLK Jr. Bday. All of the sudden are excited Obama won and are celebrating, celebrate Black History Month. If you need a holiday or special event to be pro black then something is wrong. I don't consider Feb black history month,because I know where I came from and where I'm going 365 days a year. Coming from a deeply rooted southern family I pay homage to the ones that came and laid there life down so that I could be a success 2day. Happy bday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. we are all your children.

Construction Industry (Gotta Respect It)
This shit is a serious career. I will start by saying that the pay is great, and I'm not talking my personal income because I got so much further to go. I work amongst many people that make over 100k yearly easily. People hear that and say word how can I get down. Of course that's a natural reaction to the bread but the reality of it is you work for every dollar you make, and when you lay down at night you got aches and pains. This trade isn't built for everyone. No crybabies in construction, if you a softie get a desk job. When the middle of July hits and the weather man says we are experiencing a heat wave with temperatures of 100 for the next 5 days, guess what we still expected to show up and get the shit done. Or when we got freezing weather like this week has been we are still expected to do the same. I laughed at people who say 2day I was freezing when all they had to do was commute to there temperature controlled office, or sit in the crib. Walk a day in those boots and see how these dudes go hard EVERYDAY whether its to support them self or a family. This might not count for much since I also do construction, but I salute everybody that is on this grind every morning up by 4 and swinging a hammer by 7 52 weeks a year.

Favorite Season of the year
Winter- hopefully you are a person who can weather the storm. The cold during the winter can be brutal. Some love the cold as much as penguins, the play sports, travel, hike etc. For most normal people (lol) we tend to stay indoors during the winter. The winter is the best time to get some good sleep. Tuck yourself underneath the covers and sleep like a bear. If I didn't work outside winter could possibly be my favorite season. ( Being outside for 8 hours a day in the winter time is no joke). On the other hand I love winter clothing, the different styles of jackets, boots and sweat shirts. Winter is also boo season or cuffing season so dats a super bonus. Lay up on them cold nights and steal some body :-D. If you focusing on staying warm and inside less chances of getting into trouble... Crime drops in the winter.
Spring- this is the time when people don't know how to act. Dying for the 1st warm day so they can bust out the short pants and put away the big snorkel. Spring is great though because you kno once u hit mid april that the chances of snow or super cold days are over. So your temp ranges from 40's to low 80's so you have the option to wear what you want and go where you want. You can wear anything from shorts to a light jacket without being umcomfortable. Spring is the beginning of BIKE SEASON.
Summer- summer is the season of beauty. Flowers, gardens, the beach etc. I'm not gonna lie I hate it when the temperature is in the 90's because that is way 2 hot but anything below that is just fine. All the sexy ladies come out showing skin, dudes that wanna holla @ chicks all day love the summer. You can meet women without going 2 the club you can simply go outside. The summer clothes might be some of the flashiest clothes of the year, but I personally don't get dressed til after the sun drops. I don't like to sweat in my clothes. This season is great but can be brutal for a dude like me who once again works outside. Minus the chance of a heat wave and summer would be the best season of the year. Official BIKE season.
Fall- fall is a bittersweet season. Its a break from the crazy heat but also a rude awakening that the winter is coming. This season is when the common cold is on the rise. You can go outside and it be 80 degrees one day and 30 suttin the next. The good thing about this season is is that you can mix the wordrobe up and have different styles from day to day.
If I was forced to choose one season to be my favorite I guess I would have to pick summer. What would your pick be.

True Friends
Hov said it best "you never know who your true friends are til yall both got a lil bit of money. I mean cuz yall both broke there is no strain on the relationship, yall both broke. And if you got money and he aint got no paper, he still need you so you never know how he feel about you. When yall both get some paper you'll see." Basically he saying niggas only wanna be around when they can use you as a crutch. But I feel that's only fake people, real people stay around even after they get on there feet so maybe one day they could be your crutch. The circle that you call friends, are the just around to use you as a crutch or would they help you when your down too.

What Meaning does your life have?
"If a man hasn't set something he is willing to die for, he isn't fit to live", Quote from M.L.K Jr.
When I heard this quote I started thinking. When you think of history so many of our people knew exactly what there purpose on earth was. So many of our people dedicated there life to the civil rights movement and put there life on the line on a daily basis. The only thing I kept thinking to myself what is my purpose on this earth. What is it that can say I'm willing to die for. Ten years from now where will I be in my life. Is there something that I'm really willing to die for? Does your life have a purpose. What are you living for? Are you willing to die for something? What will you stand up for? and risk your life for?

Nice Guys Finish Last
You have to be able to separate the times of being the nice guy and being the bad guy. When you feel as though someone is taking advantage of you, then you have to put your foot down and let it be known. When your too nice you can be taken advantage of by the people closest to you rather its your friends or family. That's why consciousness to step back and turn into the bad guy can save you. The work field is just as bad. If your boss or co-workers think your a push over you will be doing majority of the dirty work for the bulk of your career. Once people know that you have a problem saying no, they ask more of you.
Last but not least if your too nice the opposite sex tends to realize that. For instance a guy could tell a girl he is not interested or isn't looking for a girl. If you where a rude disrespectful guy, the woman would fall back asap out of fear or being spazzed on. If your Mr. Nice guy she will push your buttons to the very end. It is simply because she knows that the nice gentleman will not tell her exactly what she needs to hear because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. I personally learned that the nice guy approach seldomly works, so I am throwing it out the back door.

J.O Fre$h aka brother from another
Henz$ is my right hand man since I could remember. Besides my brothers I must say he is the closest homie I got, I know the nigga like the back of my hand. When my son enrolled in college upstate I looked at it as a chance for me 2 explore a new territory, meet new people etc. Basically it became a home away from home. During the time of me making these trips I realized why Henz had so much fun during his bid upstate. My son was rooming wit one of the realist niggas I ever met, Mr. JO Fre$h.
If you know me then you know I'm not really open minded to making friends with males but the homie J.O reminded me of myself. My dude is a down 2 earth nigga. Sarcastic and mad funny. But the reason me and the homie got so cool wit each other is that we both share that serious side and the grind of a mexican (lol dats aint a racist joke either.... Its just facts I respect them I never saw ne other work as hard as them). We know the difference between the serious side of life and the time 2 kick back. My son is a hard working dude on the grind. 2009 is gonna be a year like no other for my nigga. . Between the new career on the way and Baby-Fre$h coming soon its gonna be a rough year for the boy. Hopefully when he get lost along the way he already know he can holla the boy Webb for some words of wisdom. I normally don't extend my love out 2 dudes but dats a nigga I called my brother.

Sickness doesnt discriminate
Ms. Dollinger is the meaning of a counselor. She wanted every child that she worked with to make it thru life. No matter the route they chose. Rather you wanted to be a brain surgeon or a blue collar worker, she just wants us to be the best we could possibly be. My 1st three years of high school we were just on a counselor, student basis. As senior year came she stressed to me that I'm 18 and need to start thinking like a man. She would tell me just because I only got a few classes left and I'm definitely graduating doesn't mean I should be celebrating, because life only gets harder. Instead of going home after my 3 periods of classes I began just speaking with her after I was done classes. At one point there was about 10 of her kids that would be trying 2 stuff themselves in her 5x7 office on a daily basis. We all wanted to be around her because its hard to find someone in our skool system who worked to help everyone instead of just those who were already excelling.
Its impossible to think of all the people she has touched in her lifetime. With a heart that big and smile that bright I'm sure her counseling stepped beyond the job. Even to this day I would randomly stop in Canarsie to surprise her wit my presence. We would talk for about a hour in between her running around with her busy job. It would seem like I was 18 all over. Only difference is she changed from my counselor to my life coach. Words can't express how much respect I have for this woman. She definitely is one of a kind. And its sad that I hear her health is failing. I pray for the best but we all gotta answer when the lord is calling.

Love
Why do ppl front so hard?
Most of the fronting is based on cross gender relationships. Sad to say but more men are responsible for this than the women. Guys go so hard to empress girls that they write checks there ass can't cash. It must stem from all the rap songs that talk bout $ or swagg. ( Wayne -Got $, T.I. - Swagger like us, Ron Brows- Pop champagne) I can continue but you get the picture. Dudes want chicks to believe that they balling. How bout you tell the truth asshole. Isn't it easily to tell a chick you doing aight for urself and keep it like that, rather than living a lie until she finds out your a fraud.
Sorry ladies I ain't letting yall get off that easy. How about the girls who love Ne-yo's "miss independent" but can't do shit on there own. Yall go out and spend all your time shopping, getting nice dresses and shoes for the club but can't afford to get in. I mean if $20 is to much for you to party in the city your broke ass down belong in the club. I have seen girls come 2 the club looking super fly and ready to party until the bouncer says $20 ladies..... Lol.... They make a B-line back home. Or they try to become my friend like is this your party how much can we all get in for.... I respond " $20 BITCH" lol. Only reason that I put that on blast is becuz, I hate when girls criticize a guys, clothes, jewelry, car etc. When they don't possess anything. Quick to call a dude broke, but left there house with $20.
I personally never had tolerance for the phony people. If you can't keep a promise or always the person that got the line " something popped up" I can't fuck with you. In my book that means your a bullshitter. If you used to speak often then suddenly lost contact, it might be cuz your a joker. I guess this will be my job in 09 I'm calling people's bluff. Might be a dirty job but somebody has got to do it. Will you take on the duty of pressing these jokers when you know they lying? Or will you continue to let them get away?

What does $ mean to you
Its no the cold hard cash that makes one happy. Its the comfort level that it comes with. The thought of not having to live check 2 check. Buying things you want instead of things u can afford. Taking care of your family, showering your love ones with gifts, living out your childhood dreams. That's about all money can bring you.
Money can't bring you true love, or true friendship. If you are already rich when you meet someone how will you ever know if they love you for you or your money. Money doesn't guarantee health. Doesn't bring you a true best friend, or lover. Money might cause more fake friendships than anything else. Money can honestly make ones life more difficult than you can believe. You have to fish out the real from the fake. Money can also bring envy and hate. People might want to harm you to get what you have. If money is surrounded by so much negativity then why is it the main focus of so many peoples life.
What role does money play in your life. What would you change to be rich. People sometimes say they wish they were born rich. Do you? If so you would have different parents, a different lifestyle, different friends would you trade it all to be rich?
