embrace positivity

I LOVE LIFE, and I'm not just saying that to say that, I LOVE IT even though I have ups and downs, I try to stay focused and be positive throughout life and I will continue to be positive and stay focused on the main goals/achievements in life and that equals to hopefully future  prosperity and financial prosperity. The main goals/achievements in life FOR ME is to remain humble, grateful and be patient with myself throughout life, maintain a solid relationship with family and friends, continue to travel and have a meaningful career/job path (in and outside of 9-5). In the midst of having those goals/achievements, I am enjoying life and there are a lot of enjoyable moments in my life and some particular moments that I really enjoy is when I recite my poetry.  When I recite my poetry on a stage, I feel there is no one that can touch me. There's just one mic, myself and my poetry. There is a lot on going on stage, the confidence on getting up on stage, eye contact with the audien...

I notice that some people who accept awards or give speeches say Keep God first and I can't help but think of how I keep or try to Keep God first in my life. I am a filthy creature with bad habits and the Lord knows this, HE KNOWS ALL!! But at the same time, I truly believe I'm a decent, honest and kind human being that happens to be filthy from time to time. Anyways, I pray, have a positive energetic vibe about me. I don't read my Bible all that much, that's the only task that I need to work on but for the most part, I try to Keep God first. I don't know what it ALL takes to Keep God first but I think I'm close to the border in regards of keeping God first OR in the middle of the Pacific Ocean , who knows, ONLY THE BIG GUY KNOWS. 

 We all judge, that's our human nature, well at least that's what my bio ethics teacher told me in my senior year of high school. What if it was possible for us not to judge? I don't know but what I do know is that I try not to judge. People have judged me in the past so why would I judge others for their actions, that's just the way I'm thinking. There are many scenarios and current events in this world that people judge upon and some acts need to be judged heavily. For example, those cops who shoot innocent Black and Brown women, men and children without just arrests and representation. The cops that do these heinous crimes/acts do need to be judged heavily. An example of groups that don't need to be judged heavily are the Asian American and the LGBTQ+ community. For those who are aligned and associate themselves with the LGBTQ+ should live their lives and they can spread their wings in any direction they want to in my personal opinion because that's thei...

I want everybody to win in life, I don't have any malice against anyone. I like to breathe out negativity and breathe in positivity. I might have a few bumps in the road but who doesn't, am I right? This past open mic night at Negative Space Gallery, I read two poems but one poem that I want you guys to focus on is the first one, God gave me the Permission. Lately, I've been praying about breathing life and continued life into other people. I'm not like a genie obviously that will breathe mystical dust into faces of human beings but it would be great to put that positive energy and great fortune upon people. I know people get jealous of other people but this is America, it SHOULD have a piece of whatever pie you like for everyone and I'm putting an emphasis on the word should.      https://www.instagram.com/reel/CszaX2qg4ay/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

If anyone knows me, I'm an NBA fan for life but I wouldn't say I'm a die hard, posters on the wall fan but nonetheless, I enjoy me some b-ball. If you are a basketball fan, you would know that the finals are here to determine who's going to win the NBA championship and before that, they were playoffs to dwindle down the teams that will make the finals which are the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat. Before I go on, let me congratulate all of the teams who made it in the playoffs and in the finals. Personally, I want the Miami Heat to win the championship because I want Jimmy Butler to win a ring. He deserves a ring!! In the beginning of the playoffs, I wanted the Pheonix Suns to win the championship, but they got beat by the Denver Nuggets, oh well, they have next year, I guess,  (https://www.nba.com/news/2023-coaching-tracker ).  I want to take it back to when the Sacramento Kings were facing Golden State Warriors in that series and this particular incident was just si...

 I can't speak for anybody except for myself when I say this, I try to be A GOOD PERSON each and everyday. When I wake up, I pray to God with a grateful mindset and try to live with that grateful plus positive mindset throughout the days and weeks. But, sometimes it works out but sometimes you want to choke motherfuckers out. I usually just think about it but never assault anybody (lol). I try to not hate anyone in life because when you hate, you are consumed with that hate and I want to surround myself with love. Honestly, I just hated two people in this lifetime but that's in the past so I'm over that shit now.      A few months back, I saw a movie entitled A GOOD PERSON starring Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh. The synopsis in my own words is that a happy couple is enjoying life without any care in the world and suddenly, a horrific and painful incident happened and one's life is spinning out of control due to that painful incident and that individual is...

It sucks when I put my emotions out there for a young lady/woman and I don't get the answer I want. But at the same time, even though I don't get the answers I want, I have to be proud that I stepped forward and exposed my vulnerability to these young ladies/women . A particular poem that I wrote and recited (Brown Sugar Baby) during an open mic at Negative Space in Cleveland, Ohio, I gave it to a young lady at the new job that I was working at. We both work in the same building but at different spots of the building. I work at a mom-and-pop restaurant and she comes in mostly everyday and I can only see her briefly but one day, I finally got up the courage to give the poem to her and I wrote a little note as well. I asked her if she could go out on a date with me. I couldn't speak, I was nervous as FUCK!! I think my heart skipped a beat. A couple days later, she told me that she had a boyfriend but she was nice about it, but that part didn't bring any less hurt. This i...
