The word love: Noun vs Verb

Well its that time. Once again, the earth has revolved around the sun and 365 days later,  we are on February 14, aka valentines day. Valentines Day, or single awareness day to us single people,  it's a day set aside to celebrate love.  Now why people get so worked up over this day is beyond me and not the topic of this blog. Everybody uses the word love now a days. Back in the day, folks rarely used that word, but now it seems to me that the word love has lost some of it's magic since folks say the word so freely.  To me, love has become a thing to me instead of a action.  Some people will disagree with this. So now I raise the question; is love a noun or a verb in today's time? For those who may not get my question,  I will rephrase it.  In today's time, is love a thing or an action.

It seems that about 65% of people use the word love as a noun. Now for those who may have forgotten what a noun is, it is a person, place, thing, animal, or idea.  In the beginning stages, love start off as an idea. You make not recognize it at first when it hits you, but eventually you will figure it out. Now after a person realize they love someone, they are left with two choices; they can either tell the person how they feel or they can choose to not tell the person how they feel. Now if you don't tell the person, then you will regret it and will probably have that "what if" scenario playing in your mind. Love for that person will just remain an idea. If you do tell the person, then you have the possibility of love to change from an idea to a thing.

Now for the sake of this post, let's say that the person you love also feels the same way about you. Now you are in the thing phase of love. These days, a lot of folks are getting stuck at the "thing" phase of love. They claim to love someone,  but they don't put that idea into practice.  They don't treat their loved one right, but expect them to stay. Love is just a title for some people.  They just want it, but they don't put in the work to keep it. By treating love as a thing. Not only are you wasting both of yours time, but you are possibly hindering the person from finding real love in the future. Now if you really love someone, then eventually love will transcend from being a noun to being a verb.

Now there are some people who use love as a verb. In a nutshell,  a verb are words that depicts action.  Examples of this would be kick, pass, take, hit...well you get the picture. People who use love as a verb do so by various means. They don't cheat on their love one, they don't abuse them, they don't ignore them, and they don't act like they aren't lucky to have them. These things, among other things,  are what people should do. In my eyes, people are just not comfortable with putting love into action,  and that should not be the case. Again, I think the source of this is due to today's society, and what is socially acceptable. If you really love someone, don't say it show it.

As the day ends on this valentines day, let's remember the real reason for this "holiday." It's not about who's in a relationship or not.  It's not about if you get a give or not. This day is all about love. To everyone who is coupled with someone, show them that you love them with actions and not words. For those of us who happened to be single,  don't worry about it.  Love will find you. Just make to love yourself before you love someone. To answer the question/title of this post, love is both a noun and a verb. It all depends on how you use it. While love is both a noun and a verb, true love starts as a noun and should eventually transcend into a verb.

Another sad day in America

*So I thought this was posted on 2/5/2014, but it was so for the same of this just image that it was posted on the 5th*

So today was my day off. Everything was good for me today. I had nothing to complain about, well except for one thing.  As I woke up this morning,  I caught the last 30 minutes of my favorite morning radio show The Breakfast Club. As charlamagne tha god was giving out the donkey of the day, I heard something on there that really saddened/disgusted me. He said that George Zimmerman,  the man who shot and killed a 17 year old Travon Martin, would be in a celebrity boxing match vs DMX. America,  I just have one question to ask; WHAT THE HELL?????

Now there's a lot of things that really makes me mad about this situation,  but I will just touch on a few. The number factor that sickens me about this is the fact that George Zimmerman is being considered a celebrity.  Now maybe I woke up in a different dimension or something but when did being a killer make you famous? Charlemagne that God raised an excellent question doing this segment.  He said "You mean to tell me that in America in 2014 you can murder a young 17 year old young man and be considered a celebrity?" Now to be fair, I honestly don't believe no one in there right mind considers this man a celebrity. Now if he is not a celebrity,  who would  classify him as one and put him in this boxing match? Well ladies and germs, that person is no other than boxing promoter Damon Feldman. Now I don't much about Damon, but the fact that he would call this killer a celebrity says a lot about this man. It tells me that he is a heartless, emotionless man. It also tells me that money means the world to him. Now folks may say I looking way too much into this. I mean it's true that celebrity is really just a word. I think I not making enough of a deal of this. The good book says that the power of life and death are in the tongue. That means to me is whatever we call or label people is the power we give the person,  depending on how we value the world.  To me, the world celebrity means a person who was worked there as soon off in a certain field and has acquired fame for their hard work. When I think of George Zimmerman, the is the farthest thing that comes to my mind. Words like killer, lier, worthless, and pathetic are just a few words that pop up. 

Another thing that troubles me about this is that fact that Zimmerman wants to fight a grown ass man but decided to take the life of Travon Martin. Now let's forget the fact that he was following him for no good reason.  Let's also forget that even after a 911 operator told this man to stop following him, he got out of him car and ignored this can followed Travon. Let's even forget that he knew he had a gun on him the whole time.  So apparently a 17 year old can beat Zimmerman so bad he has no choice but to kill him,  but wants to box a grown man? The hell? To once again quote Charlemagne tha God, "How can someone who is willy to fight anyone claim that he was getting hid ass kick by a 17 year old so bad that he had to shoot a kill him?" Now I not the sharpest tool in the box, but this does not add up in the least bit. Travon was younger, and weight less than him. Zimmerman claimed he feared for his life, and shot young Travon in self defense.  I could go on forever on how his story doesn't add up but that's not what I am here for. Then to add more to the fire, he got to choose his opponent, and he chose DMX out of all people.  Now I not saying DMX is going to lose, but what I will say there are far better people to chose from than DMX. I want to someone to give Zimmerman the beating of his life and I, along with a lot of people, don't believe DMX  is the right person for the job in the least bit.

The next day that sadden me about this is that how it was announced. I had heard thru the cyber streets that Zimmerman was going to fighting someone,  but nothing was set in stone. Then today of all days, the fight was finalized and announced.  What was the meaning of today, February the 5? Well, today is Travon birthday.  Had he been alive, he would have been 19th years old. Having this fight announced on Travon birthday was a new level of disrespect in my eyes. Just imagine how Travon's parents must feel. The person who took your son's life is being considered a celebrity,  and he will be making money based on the act and night that took your child's life, and they decided to announce this event on your son's birthday.  The person who took your son's life is get mention and gaining buzz on the day that same child was born. Talk about a slap in the face.

At the end of the day, should this fight happen? NO. Will this fight happen? YES. You know why? Because money talks, and America has a history of making a profit on the misfortune of others. Me personally,  I don't want no one to support this madness and exploitation of a sad situation.  When it comes to money, some people just do not care how they get that almighty dollar. When you think about it, Damon and Zimmerman will be basically making money off of the death of Travon Martin. To me, that is really the saddest/most disgusting part of this whole situation. This just shows that history truly repeats inself.

The Most Valuable Thing Known to Man

Well ladies and germs, it been a few weeks but here we are again with the blogging and what not. I hope everyone is have an amazing year thus far and are full filling all of the goals that you have set for yourself this. Even if have last focus/haven't lived up to you goals, then don't beat yourself up over it. It's not important how you started, it's all about how you finish so just get back to it. Now since we got that little motivational speech out of the way, let's get to the topic at hand.
It seems to me that people want more out of life than ever before. Some people want to travel, while some people want to find a better job/start a career/be their own boss. Some people want to be successful, while some people want to settled down, get married, and start a family. While these things are our dreams/goals that we want to accomplish, there is one thing that is needed to make these things a reality that I don't see many people talk about. This thing is more valuable and precious than money, silver, and good. Once this thing is gone, you can never get it back or replace it. This one thing is want many people wish they had. The thing in which I speak of and will be the focus of this blog is......*wait for it*......time.
Time is the one of the most important tools  in life when you think about. Depending on how you use your time,  you can accomplish a lot of things in your life. Time affects how your life will be. More importantly, your time management skills will dictate rather you have a good life or a bad life. The most successful people in life favor from having time skills. One thing that always stuck to me, in reference to time, is something Sean "Diddy" Combs said about time on an interview on The Breakfast Club. He said on the interview "I have the same 24 hours just like everyone else." A lot can be done with 24 hours. Idea's can be formed, plans can be executed,  and dreams/goals can true.
If time is so valuable,  why do folks waste it? Well besides the fact some people just don't have time management skills, I believe that folks think that they an infinite amount of time when this is the far from the truth.  From the time we are born, we are born with a timer that will eventually run out. The only person who knows when our times is up is God. I can not tell you how many time's I have said "I will do this tomorrow or when I have more time." I have seen people waste time in jobs that they hate instead of pursuing what they really want to do/be in life. I have also seen people wait to tell someone how they feel about someone, and when the person finds the courage to finally tell the person, that person is with someone who didn't waste time a told the person how they feel.  I believe that people would not waste the time that God has given us if we knew exactly when our time was up.
No matter how much time you have on this earth,  you can do amazing things with it. You can either have a short life with meaning/purpose or you can have a long dull life. When I think of who have done amazing things with the limited time they had on the earth, I think about people like Amy Winehouse,  Jimi Hendrix, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Notorious B.I.G., Heath Ledger,  Paul Walker, and John Lennon. All of these people changed the industry that they were apart of, and some of them even changed the world.   One person who did a lot with the little time he had on earth was Tupac. Before his death,  Tupac stared in 8 movies, and record enough material to have 13 albums.  Tupac all of this by the time he was 25 years old. He is considered one of the greatest rap artist of all time. Not only was he an amazing rapper, he also care about his people, and he wanted to see them do/become better. Just imagine what more he could have done if he was still around.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in a hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in week, and 52 weeks in a year. We don't have as much time as we like to think that we have. What will yo do with all of that time? Will you decide to use your time wisely, follow your dreams, do something great, and leave a legacy behind? Will you waste the time god has given you and not live up to your potential? At the end of the day, the choice is up to you. To better reflect on the this issue, look at the two videos on the bottom of that was made by SpokenReasons. To end this, I will leave you with a quote by SpokenReasons.  "While you're sitting there, holding your thoughts, over analyzing the situation,  just know there's someone already doing what you are thinking."

The one thing we don't share

In today's world,  it seems like we share everything for the world to see. From pictures to videos,  95% of the world population likes to include 100% of the world with our every moves in our day to day life. While the reason behind this is unknown, the advancement of social media sites such as twitter,  vine, and instagram only adds to ever grow trend in this phenomenal. Combine this with the fact that everyone has a cell phone makes it easy to share your world with the entire world.  Even though it seems like we are more connected thee ever, in reality we are further from the truth in a sense. While we share countless photos and videos for the world to see, the one thing that a growing number of people are afraid to share are their thoughts and emotions with the one person we care about the most. I think there are many reasons behind this but I'm going to focus on just two for the sake of this post.
The first reason is no one what's to be vulnerable to that one person who means the most to them. Now usually the word vulnerable is used to describe a weakness of some kind, but that's not what I mean.  In this case, being vulnerable means to share your feelings, and being 100% opened up to the person. These days, expressing/sharing  your feelings or even "catching feelings" seems to be considered a weakness. When did it come to a point where feelings is considered a weakness or, in some cases,  a disease? To me, it just boils down to that people are afraid to open because they don't want to be hurt and/or get used. While this is a legitimate reason,  you can't be afraid of your feelings/love. Just because this may have happened before does not mean it will happen again.  True love and feelings won't never hurt you.
The second reason why people don't share feelings because they do not what to seem thirsty.  Now if you don't know what the term "thirsty" means, it basically means being overly anxious for something or someone according to the urban dictionary.  Now you may be wondering how does fear of seeming thirsty stop people from sharing feelings.  Well let's say two people are talking to each other. Now because they don't want to seem thirsty, they will wait for the other person to hit them up first. Over tine, this will affect both parties and no will want to be the first one to start of a conversation.  Next thing you know,  they will drift apart, stop talking to each other, and their feelings will slowly fade away. Now this may seemed farfetched,  but things like this happen more often these days.  Now exactly when folks started thinking speaking first or sharing your thoughts is thirsty is beyond me. All I know is that is one of the dumbest thing I ever heard off. If you are afraid of seeing thirsty, just say fuck that and just go for it. You don't want to miss out on a good thing over something society deem is bad.
I guess what I saying is SHARE YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR THOUGHTS,  AND BE VULNERABLE TO THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. If you don't, not only will you be missing out on a possible good thing but you will regret it. I know that's not one of the coolest thing to do these day but screw that. Don't let fear, the past,  or society stop you from being happy.  As the philosopher know as Drake said in his song From Time, "Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?" That's what happens when you don't share your feelings. 

Dec 31, 2013

2013 has been...........

Well here it is folks. As I look at the clock on my laptop, it is 11:50 PM EST. This means two things; There is less than 10 minutes left in 2013 and it also means there is also less than 10 minutes until 2014. As we transition from one year to another year, I get on these cyber streets and see everyone talking about how 2013 treated them. No matter what everyone said, one thing everyone shared was the fact that they were thankful for the year and they are looking forward to the year 2014. Reading these various post got me thinking what 2013 was for me me. Well to me 2013 has been a year of transition.

At the start of the year, I was less than a month remove from graduating college. I was on top of the world. After endless test, paper, projects and finals, I finally could say that I was a college graduate. I believed that with this degree, I would have no problem landing any job. Boy was I wrong. No matter what job I put in for, I got turn down for it. It seem like I got these two reasons everything i got turned down for a job. 1. Well since you have a degree, you should be working for our home office not us. 2. You don't have enough experience to work here. I mean it got to a point were I got rejected by Target, Burger King, and Mickey Ds. Like who really gets turned down by fast food places, but that besides the point. Needless to say, I heard that for 8 long months. Then one day, someone finally decided to give me a chance and gave me at job. Now the job is def not the best/ideal job but i am grateful for it none the less, even though it is part time and it pages minimum wage. The struggle is real y'all.  this is not the only transition that took place this year.

During my 8 months of being jobless, another transition began to happen. I made a mental transition. When all that free time. I really had time to think. Think about what was I doing with my life. Think about why I had such a hard time finding a job. Thinking when was my time to shine will come. These are just a few of the things I kept thinking about. Then one day out of the blue, one thought came to mind that i had never considered before. "Trust in the process" Now grant it, I had no idea what things meant what so ever. Then as life kept happening, that one thought kept popping up in my mind. As that thought kept popping up, I started to understand what that means to me. No matter what happens in life, there is no such thing as a bad experience. Everything that we go thru has a purpose. The experience will help us grow as a person, to bring something to our eyes, and/or to teach us a lesson. After i realized this, things I used to stress about and worry about just did not matter any more. I know that something bigger and better will come and i just need to trust in the process.

One of most noticeable transition that had in 2013 was my weight loss. For most of my life, I have always been a big dude. No matter much my family and friends told me I need to drop some pounds, I did not pay them no mind. I was ok with being big. Then one day, it clicked in my mind that I am 24 years old. That fact made me want to make a change. The reason behind that was a girl I went to school with died at that same age. I had saw her on a random saturday night, and then the next day, I got a phone call that she had die in her sleep. She was 24, and she was overweight just like me. When that popped in my mind back in the beginning of 2013, I knew I had to make a change. I have a lot of things that i want to do, and i have a feeling that there is something major in life that I am meant to do and i can't let nothing stand in my way. So i changed up my diet, began drinking a gallon of water everyday, and started working out. Since then i have drop some weight and gotten healthier. I still have a ways to go but at least I am on the right track.

Last but not least, i think i have started to make a transition when it comes to my feelings.  For the longest, I have always said I never wanted to get married and i never wanted to have kids. I guess my reason behind this is I did not want to end up being one of those dudes who have a  kids and leave them. I figured that the only way to avoid that is to be alone. For the longest i was ok with this. Then one day all of that changed. If you want more insight into that, read my previous post nothing was the same. This year, i have slowly wanting to get marry and have kids. If i could talk to my younger and told himself that, my younger self would give me the hardest side eye known to man. I guess that all comes with getting older. You don't want to stay single forever and start to have all those love feelings. Those are the worst at times.

So there you have it. That was basically my 2013 in a nutshell. I guess the theme of that year was transition. These transitions were all over the place 2013. In the long run, they made me a better person. They helped my to grow and evolve  as a person. I can really say that i am not the say person that I was in the beginning of 2013. So thank you 2013 for all of the things you taught me. Thank you for everything that you showed me and for showing me what I am capable of. Hell without 2013, this blog would never have been created. I honestly believe that even though 2013 has been not the best yer for me, it was gotten me prepare for all the greatness that 2014 has in store for me. Heres to you, the year full of transitions aka 2013.

Wake up Mr. West

Before I start,  let me say that I am a huge Kanye West fan. I like his word play in his album, the beats that he makes, his whole "I don't give a f@$k" attitude, and the way he dares to say exactly what is on his mind. In his own way, Kanye is really ahead of his time. With all that in mind, I feel that I have a right to discuss the recent antics of Mr. West. I also feel that I have a right to discuss a possible solution to some of the things that is troubling Kanye these days. This blog come isn't meant to throw slander to him. This post is just a fans view point of one of his favorite artist.

In the year of 2013, the name of Kanye West was in the mouths of most people for many different reasons.  One of the biggest events that changed his life was the birth of his daughter, North West. The name of his daughter had the world saying "did he really name his kid north west?" A few days later, he would drop his sixth album entitled Yeezus. That album would go on to be one or the best-selling rap albums of this year. He goes on to launch his Yeezus tour which, by the way, I am still upset that didn't get to see but I digress. From what I have been hearing about that tour, it is a must see. People have been saying that YEEZUS isn’t a tour, it is an experience. With all of these things happening in the life of Kanye, the two words in 2013 that became tied to his name were interviews and ranting.

This all began with an interview he did for the BBC. Out of all the things he talked about, one of the things that I feel he was the most passionate about is his leather jogging pants idea. He was upset that he came up with the idea with this odd combination, presented it to a major clothing company to not only to have it turned down, but to have his invention to be made and produced by the same people who turned his down. Due to this interview, funny man Jimmy Kimmel made a spoof of this interview on his late night talk show that has really funny.  Kanye didn't take to kindly to that and went on a twitter rampage on Jimmy. This started a "feud" between the two. Eventually, the two made up on Kimmel show and the so called "feud" had ended.
Now after his album dropped, his interviews became 75% rant, and 25% about Yeezus.  

His next interview was one that I never thought I would see. He would go on the breakfast club to be interviewed by DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlemagne tha God. Now one of the things that the breakfast club is known forward is there straight forward, no hold barred interviews.  Any and everything will be discussed on these interviews.  If you don't know who Charlemagne tha God is, he is basically a straightforward,  no bullshit person that says it like it is no matter if his opinion is popular or not. When Kanye was on there, Charlemagne told Kanye exactly how he felt.  First he said he didn't like Yeezus.  As the interview went on, he asked two questions that I felt would explain everything.  His questions were basically why he denounces these corporations, but said he needs them for his clothing line and why don't he just start his own line with all the resources that he has. Kanye gave his explanation, but it did not make any sense. It wasn't until his next interview that Kanye finally made sense to me.

The next interview that he was featured on was Sway in the Morning. Now the interview was a typical Kanye interview for the first half, you know, Kanye calling himself a genius, comparing himself to other great people, and other interesting things. Then when Sway asked why he doesn’t start up his own line, yeezy snapped telling Sway "You don't have all the answer Sway" and basically talking down to him. Now at this point, Sway looked like he wanted to knock Kanye out and I couldn't blame him. I mean what grown man wants to be yelled at/talked down to like a little child. After Kanye calmed down, he asked him the same question again and Kanye gave an honest/real answer for once.

As he was explaining his reason, there was four main points the he made that stuck out to me the most. 1. "As I work on clothing more, I not rapping as much." 2."I not rapping as much, I not having as much finance, I losing relevance." 3. "Relevance is part of my power that allows my brand to be big." 4." You juggle so crazy but then you get a Nike that can simply say the yeezys did good. That was a good job. Let me get you some more so you can start your own line cause obviously people are lining up for them." After he said all of that, all of his antic and rants finally made sense to me.

As far as all his antic and part of his rants are concerned, he is doing all of this to stay relevant. Just think about it. After his 5th album dropped, no one heard from Kanye or knew what he was doing. I assume that during his time away he was designing. He didn't pop back up until he started dating Kim Kardashian, and let’s be honest, that helped her career not Kanye’s career. Kanye really did not become relevant, at least to me, until his first interview on the BBC were his ranting first began. After that, people began to talk about him, thus he started to become relevant again which in turn started to give power back to his brand. If you look at point 3, he doing exactly what he believes he needs to do to make his brand powerful.  So basically everything he has done is for the betterment of his brand. Pretty clever Mr. West, pretty clever.

The last statement he made that involved Nike explains why he feels he needs these big corporations in order to get his clothing line established. He feels like he needs to go thru an already major clothing company in order for him to have his own clothing line. One of the things he was saying to Sway that he tried starting his own clothing line, invested 13 million into it, and lost all of his money. After going through that big of a lost, he still wants to start his line, but doesn't want to take that big of a gamble again. Can you blame him? No matter how much money you have, 13 million is still a lot of money. Losing that will hurt anybody; well expect Bill Gates and Oprah of course. Then you have to factor in that not only does he has to worry about his investment, he has to worry about how all the business decisions he makes will affect the future wellbeing of his daughter.

After all of that, do I agree with him? I somewhat agree with him. As a fan, I see where he is coming from. I can see how he feels that he needs these big name companies in order for his clothing line to come out and for people to see how great that he thinks he is. I can also somewhat see why he goes on and on with his rants. If that what he needs to stay relevant,  them he will continue to do so because that is want get his name out into the masses. Now as a person who one day wants to have his own business/company, I don't see why Kanye needs these companies in order to be great. He is an amazing artist, very smart, and has vast amounts of resources that he can pull together to pull of his clothing line. I think he is just scared and does not believe his own hype. I can understand the reason why he is mad with the fashion industry, but ranting and complaining about it will not make the situation any better. The best way to prove these companies from Mr. West is to prove them wrong, release and few clothing items, and show them why they had worked with you from the start.  As far as being relevant, Kanye is going about this all the wrong way. You don't need to whine, rant, bitch and moan to be relevant. When you rant, you don't sound smart. You say a lot of smart/right things but no one hear it due to your ranting and the way you say these things.  Just do want you always did to be relevant....make good music because to be honest Yeezus was not all that great to me. Maybe it is one of those albums that have to grow on me after listening to it multiple times. If you do have to rant, do it for a good reason like when you called out Bush on live TV.

Apparently I not the only one who feels this way. Famous people have put in their two cents on this matter as well.  Earlier this year Marc Echo, founder of the Echo clothing, stopped by the breakfast club to promote his new book. During his interview, he was asked his opinion of how Kanye feel he needs this big name companies. These are just a few points that he made. 1."Why the hell does he need these gatekeepers?" 2."You don't need the cosigns." 3."He's afraid to try on his own and screw up." 4. "Goalkeepers, the people, are going to transition and vote." During the same interview, Charlemagne says that he should make his line for the people. He said "Power will always be in the people, regular everyday people." One thing both Sway and Marc Echo asked was why doesn't Kanye start out small and slowing build up his clothing line.


So after all of this typing and thinking, I am just about ready to wrap up this post. So Mr. West, I believe all you have to do to get your clothing line up and out is just go back to the days that you was just a producer and want to become a rapper. No one just gave you a record deal. You had to prove that you was worthy of having one. Take those same lessons and apply them to getting your dreams out there to the world. Nothing worth having will come easy. Like I said earlier, just pull together your smarts and resources together, and I sure in no time your will see your dreams come to life. You just have to get humble and hungry for greatness once again.
