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

Nice guys finish last. As a youngin I never understood that statement but as time goes by more and more I understand. No1 likes that guy who says exactly what comes to mind and does exactly what he feels because they don't respect the truth. Well I can honestly say I normally say what comes to mind but there are times that I spare people's feelings. With that being said there are many times that I felt like I should express my true feelings and get it out of the way..... There are many different cases, Girls, family, work, friends should all get a taste of the raw truth instead of you worrying bout being the nice guy because plenty of time you will get burned in the long run.

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

A person who cared so much in an environment where so many didn't. She fought to get through to kids that have already gave up on themselves. She could have did the bare minimum to get by and make a living but this woman takes pride in helping others.

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

I stole this quote off of my homegirl's away message. "Isn't it Ironic? We ignore who adores us, adore who ignores us, love who hurts us, & hurt who loves us".............. I was gonna write a whole blog on it but it is self explanatory. My question to you is why do we push away the person who might be right under our nose and perfect for us to chase after Mr. Wrong or Mrs. Wrong? Feedback please

Why do ppl front so hard?

Sometimes I sit back and just listen to people as they speak. It could be my own friends, random people I come across commuting to work or partying. Now a days even when you turn on the television you can't escape it. What is it that I'm talking about you wonder, that would be people fronting so hard. People get so caught up in there lies that maybe even they start to believe it. Sometimes its hard to separate the real from the fake.

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

We all go so hard day in and day out to make a living. With that being said is it money that makes people happy? I hear people say all the time if I hit the lotto I would be set for life. Yeah that might be true but like Biggie said more money more problems. If money is what is related to true happiness why is that the rich people are the ones overdosing or committing suicide.

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?
