Let's have beef stew together, not regular beef

 For the last few weeks, there has been a quarrel between sports commentator, Stephen A. Smith and NBA superstar, Lebron James. Since it's the year 2025 and how the world is evolving, social media has taken the forefront in this quarrel. There has been a lot in a few weeks or has it been months, I don't know! There is one incident that didn't sit right with me. The incident was when Stephen A was attending a Lakers game and Lebron confronted Stephen A about talking about his son, Bronny which by the way, he's a teammate of Lebron on the Los Angeles Lakers. After the video surfaced, Stephen A posted a video on Instagram of him boxing as a form of exercise, but I guess it was alluding to Lebron about in that video, it seemed like Stephen A wanted to fight Lebron. Thank God this fight didn't happen and hopefully it's not going to happen in the distant future and as two BLACK men in the spotlight, it's bad for business and most of the white counterparts think t...

Words of encouragement for myself and others

  As of late I've been on a roller coaster (metaphor of how unbalance life can be) and this time, the ride I was on, seemed like it was in constant motion, and I was never going to get off. I'm not going into detail but when I was on the roller coaster, I prayed and kept praying and it was no life raft to rescue me anytime in the near future, that's what it seemed like to me anyways. Luckily, I'm off that roller coaster and a life raft came thru and, in this scenario, the life raft is God.   Life is complicated and unbalanced sometimes but if you stay positive, stay or TRY to stay away from negativity, have FAITH and be the best version of yourself and work hard, you can be prosperous in many forms, this what I truly believe! 

Let me get my NFL hat on for a bit

 As of late, there have been rumblings about a Myles Garret trade in the social media sphere, if you don't know who Myles Garrett is, he's a defensive end for the Cleveland Browns. Ultimately, he wants to win a super bowl and the Cleveland Browns haven't done that for a while. In my opinion, I don't blame Mr. Garrett because he's been showing up for the Browns every Sunday (not saying other Browns players aren't showing up the team) and I think he's just fed up. He told the media he wanted to be traded to a contender, in other words, a team that has a possibility to win on the grand stage . I was watching First Take on ESPN and they were talking about the trade, and they were also talking about Deshaun Watson dealing with the trade. Deshaun Watson is the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. I didn't know the issue was the quarterback as well, but I began to think (dangerous territory, LOL) that the quarterback is supposed to be a captain/leader of a fo...

Love & Unity

 I pray, I pray and then I pray again because I believe prayer can change situations. Lately, I have been praying for the state of this world, especially in this country, the United States. There has been a lot of wickedness in this world and of course, people can define their own wickedness. The definition of wicked means morally bad, very bad from Merriam Webster. I'm not talking about white lies or little Tommy grabbing cookies from the cookie jar, those things are bad but not terrible. I AM talking about MAJOR global implications that we have currently and implications in the communities THAT WE SERVE.       The global implications that I'm talking about is the California wildfires. Initially, I thought the wildfires were created because of the tectonic plates. I always believed that from earthquakes to tsunamis but later I found out that my sister told me she heard that it's a certain flower that populates the state of California that caused these wildfire...

Elevation

 On January 14, I turned the BIG 32 (I made a typo on the flyer, LOL) and I told my mother I'm just glad that God gave me another year to live on this earth. Hopefully, I will live multiple years to come but if not, I'm content on who I am. That is a big IF, not a small if because of course, I want more celebrations, I want more life changing experiences, and I want more healing energies that will be developed into this world. Elevation is part of life and I've elevated in some areas more than other areas. For example, I've elevated and I am still elevating into a safe mental state, tapping into my emotions that I knew I had and the emotions I didn't know I had with my therapist. I've also elevated with my living situations. After I moved out of my stepfathers house, I lived in a shoebox (studio)  and after six years living in that shoe box, I am currently living in a one bedroom apartment and after living in the apartment for a while, maybe I'll live in a...

The WWE

 Last night I was watching Saturday Night Main event on Peacock, and I loved it!! Even though I loved the TV extravaganza, I thought the matches were short compared to the matches on Friday and Monday nights.  Also, I wanted Iyo Sky to win the Women's World Champion because I think Damage Control needs more of a push in regards of fan engagement and if Iyo Sky would've won, she would've won on that front, for her group as well. I wanted Damien Priest to win, I could see the yearn in his eyes to hold that title up high above his head. Another thing, I'm getting confused in the midst of all of this because there are a lot of championships in the industry.  Fast forwarding to the WWE moving to Netflix next year, I think it's mainly about more money. I'm not saying anything negative; I'm just expressing my statement (LOL), GET YOUR EXTRA MONEY Paul "Triple H" Levesque. I don't agree with Mr. Levesque's stance on keeping the WWE rating when it m...

Vulnerability, an option maybe

Every Christmas Eve my dad's side of the family as of late we've had a tradition. The tradition is we go over my dad's house, eat dinner and all of us get to open presents. After all of that, we usually hang out, talk and have a merry ole time. But, last year on Christmas Eve, after we had our dinner, my sister decided to play a game and of course we said yes. I don't think anybody wanted to be a bad sport. I don't know the name of the game, but the concept is, it has two sides, one side has serious questions, and the other side has less serious questions and of course we had the side of serious questions and then we had to discuss the topics.  I love my sister's enthusiasm (bless her little heart) but those topics on the card made us release most of our emotions and then we got slightly off topic, the conversations got even deeper.      At this point, I didn't want to be vulnerable especially since it was the holiday season even though there are sad momen...
