On the Job...

11 hour days, 12, maybe even 13...Physically draining, yes, menatlly challenging, of kourse...but unwavered, undoubtedly. A long time ago I embraced the fact that hard work is rewarded, but its not a given that I would recieve anthing for konducting myself in a positive and productive way. Pops was klear with his beliefs for my brother and I to be outstanding, but not with arrogance, or in a boastful manner, but with konsitency and the mindset to grow from your life and its experiences. With this mindset though, I found it easy to become a strain of koncieted, because I take well to things and I learn and execute fast, but ill korrect anyone quick, with; Is it not ok to be proud??? Should I not enjoy the fruits of my labor and just as much the labor put in to reach those fruits...regardless of what most believe, where to be prideful is sinful...smh...this is a shallow mind state to me...Should I not be proud of where I am, where Im from, and where I am going??? YES I should, you should too!!!


So, as you frown upon klocking in, or getting up early for work...smile because of kourse everyone doesn't have a job but also because we must realize that a bigger goal is ahead, a greater kause is whats driving you, and if you dont have a bigger success and more goals to achieve, do a self assesment, look yourself in the mirror and ask; What do I want from myself for myself??? This answer will lead you to understand what it will take to get the things you desire. Right now, I have this question on my things to do list everyday of my life. It helps you focus and stay on a charted path, because turbelence and konstruction will alter your path many times...but remember that goal you set and remind yourself daily, hourly if you need...but what you want to gain from it, is that inspiration from within so the bullshit, and naysayers wont bother you. With this type of mental and attitude, the question of What do I want from myself for myself???" will allow you to have klear answers for not only yourself but what you kan do for the people, society and world around you...






To address the lack of posts;
I haven't posted anything in quite some time, but not because of lack of thoughts or words to express but sometime I have to be discrete with what I decide to post...but a friend spoke these words to me..."why not speak your mind freely, dont fear the perception if you deal with reality..." Seemimgly quite profound, well, I thought so...It really went deeper than my ear drums, I took it, internalized it and will not allow my "unreadiness" to express whatever I may feel and how I feel it...
stay tuned...

Thank You March Madness...

     This year’s NCAA basketball's March Madness has thrilled us yet again!!! With the "Sweet 16" upon us I just wanted take a moment to kongratulate the best Playoff system in Sports. The NCAA college basketball tournament bracket should be the blueprint for how a playoff system should be ran. The bracket system is klearly the best way to determine a champion. There are other ways to do it, (ex. college footballs BCS system) but we have seen the kontroversy that any other system has brought about year after year. So, again KONGRATS to the March Madness tournament and the people who make it special every year; the players, teams and coaches!!!
     To the eventual Champions (Pulling for UCONN, girls and guys) kongrats to you all, because not only is the demanding nature of being a college athlete stressful, but before that, you are all students and thats worthy of a pat on the back in itself. So, to be a Student-Athlete at a time where points per game seem to be more important than grade point average, I applaud you all for the level of focus it takes to kontinue on everyday for classes and games...(I played Division 2 basketball at Benedict College in 07-08. We made it to the Sweet 16 so, yes I kan relate...at least a little bit...)




Tell Me What You Think…
Who are you cheering for in the "Sweet 16???"
Who should win the player of the year???
Who will be the best NBA player??? Jimmer Fredette, Kemba Walker, Nolan Smith or Jared Sullinger...


I just wanted to update us all about why we love MARCH MADNESS...Check out this video...

The NFL Lockout???

    

     Is it safe to say this is the most ridiculous display of "Collective Bargaining" ever!!! This is the NFL, and I understand that this "lock out" has more to do with greed, money and politics than it actually has to do with the entertainment factor of the game, or the passion and kompetive nature of the players giving their blood, sweat and tears to make millions of dollars, But granted, the people locking them out (The Owners)  makes millions alike and much more. So even though though players, staffs and owners are out of their jobs it seems that these two sides will be just fine without the NFL season kome August.
     So, where does that leave the fans??? The die hard, screaming, yelling, passionate, season ticket holder, Sunday ticket holder, Sunday and Monday Night Football loving , Fantasy Football playing red blooded human beings who love the very idea of Football and everything that the NFL Season, Post Season and SuperBowl has become in its storied history. You know where it leaves us, lost, konfused and dissapointed that some of the richest and powerful people in America, as far as sports is koncerned, kan't seem to come to a "Collective Bargain" to reach an "Agreement" so these atheletes kan get on the field and do what they love to do and so we kan watch them do what they love to do, because oh how we love our football, specifically the NFL!!!
     So, Owners, Players...Fellas, get it together!!! How kan you kome off the most watced Super Bowl in the NFL's History to a Lockout??? It's pathedic and inexcusable...



Tell me what you think...and Who is to blame for the lockout???
Also Who should be the #1 pick in April's Draft???
