WHY HATE WHEN YOU CAN LOVE?

There is no such thing as "right" or "wrong"... there is only the consequences of our actions.
People will always do what they want to do (regardless if it's selfish or selfless)... resulting in the present situation, good or bad. I've learned in my experiences that the best solution to any particular problem is simply this: to do what you are going to do. Simple enough, huh? Well, it is that simple; it's just we as human beings have this unquenchable thirst to have a reason, a purpose for EVERYTHING. We feel the need to justify our behavior to validate our own "normality"... and this is actually why things become so impossibly difficult. However, if you just took a step back and acknowledge one simple truth, you would find things are not as complex as you perceived them to be at the outset.

What TRUTH is that???

That when people will do what they want to do... there is nothing that we can do to prevent it. We may be able to prolong or systematically manipulate the other person, but the conclusion will be one of human nature, emotions (chemical reactions), or whatever you want to call it. Ego... Pride... Vanity... if these are what you feed your hypothalamus within your neuron-network, then this is inevitably what you will develop and addiction for. These are easy addictions to be associated with in comparison to patience, love, and compassion.

I am in no way saying that you should suppress any emotion either... just find a healthy channel to release them. The majority of this world has set their sights on rebellion... thinking that it's the most individualistic thing to do, when it's quite the opposite. I dare any to actually display compassion, sympathy, and/or selflessness to a stranger... and more-so to their supposed loved ones. I can assure you, in the end, everyone can walk away as bigger people - mature individuals.

But what do I know, right?

THIS is what the ☆☆☆American Dream☆☆☆ is all about...

NEW DREAMS... NEW DESTINY...

When is "enough"... enough?
How thin can you actually stretch yourself before you finally snap?

I've never had a full understanding of how this world works (financially) until the later half of 2008. And now that I do, I feel as though I've become just a tad-bit too excessive in my enthusiasm for business. Even my hobbies transform into potential money-making ideas. Gift and a curse?

My desire to "MAKE IT" is vast enough to fuel each aspiration equally, without any neglect. However, I tend to find myself changing into something that I am not quite sure how to define as of yet. Music, Art, Design... any and all forms of my creativity willfully submits and becomes a slave to the new-born capitalist within... and I'm not complaining either. From Carhart vests, hoodies, Timb's, and 3XL white-T's... to high-end stripe button-downs, Italian loafers, and Trilby hats... I feel like a new man with a new goal in life: TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT IT CAN BE DONE. I have no "limelight" shining upon me... I have no extraordinary gift. I don't know everything about anything... but I know "enough" about a lot.

::PAUSE::

On a more personal note:
I had a bizzare dream come to me early this morning. I'm walking this long hall of broken mirrors, dimly lit by a glare off in the distance. I continue to walk, for what seems to be an eternity, until the light becomes so bright that I am blinded. Once the light ceases, I try to focus. That's when, all of a sudden, I'm no longer in the darkened hallway, but in the foyer of this grand, marble-floored mansion, accompanied by all of my closest friends and family. Time stops... and I awaken. I don't know why I woke up... there was no dangerous threat or exillerating situation occuring during the moment of awakening. Not to mention that this was the first dream that I could remember to a "T".

I don't think it was a dream of fantasy... but perhaps one of destiny.
I walk the dark path alone in order to reach the things I desire the most: riches, family, and friendship. And these are the things that will define me... not some mirror image of what I currently look like.

We shall see, won't we?

BUDDING POTENTIAL

"If at first you don't succeed... try, try again." This cliché phrase currently seems to be most logical one of them all. I can't say that I've been through it all, but I CAN say that I've been through enough... enough to know that when life knocks you on your hind-side... you gotta get the f*ck back up, dust yourself off, and prepare yourself for another ass-whoopin'. Time and Life are flaunting and selfish "sum-muh-mah-b*tches." (R.I.P Bernie Mac) They are, in fact, the only constants in this world. (I would like to think that greed, envy, and hatred will one day find peace and subside once and for all)

With that now being known, I am ever-more driven to accomplish whatever it is I desire to do: Create stable, cash-generating businesses, experience and enjoy life, and channel my perspective thoughts through music for the masses to hear and vibe with. A wise man once told me ~ "You have to have more than one hustle in this world, son." I, in turn, asked him ~ "To survive?" ~ "No... to LIVE!" he replied. Times are changing, lifestyles are evolving, and people are starting to realize that if you don't have an open mind... you'll inevitably be left behind.

So this is where I will scribe my thoughts: when I'm bored, or when I just want to tell to the world about what's poppin' off in this crazy, little life of mine.
