Power in knowing thyself

 This past Monday night I went to see the Wedding Banque t starring Bowen Yang. The Wedding Banquet is a beautiful movie that I highly recommend. I'm not going to spoil the synopsis but you gotta see the movie for yourself. I'm going to express my thoughts about the movie without trying to spoil the whole damn movie. I know people can be judgmental and reserved about how they perceive other people, especially if they don't know what exactly is going on. I try not to judge because I have been judged before, and I hated that judgment on me by other people.  There was a shooting in Orlando, Florida at a LGBTQIA + club (or should I just say a gay club) I believe a handful of years ago. Like I said in an older post, I might not share the same ideology or preferences with that community but I'm not the type to scole people just because they differ from other people. People might not accept other people's sexual preferences for religious reasons or reasons that are unknown...

Count your blessings, Not your problems

 Trust me, I know it's easier said than done! Everybody has problems but at the same time, I think we have to think positive and have faith that our blessings will outweigh our problems. In my personal experience especially during these handful of past months that was difficult/straining for me, it seemed liked mini blessings that popped out in the midst of those difficult months. I want to see the mini blessings, medium blessings and the bigger blessings, I just want God to dump surplus blessings on me. Don't get it twisted. I am already blessed but that doesn't mean I don't want more blessings. Like if it was a tree of blessings, I want all of that tree, not just the damn leaves. Fast forwarding to a month or so ago, my family had a guy's night out, just a few of us went out to eat and that was a blessing within itself. That was our guy's night out, we haven't done that before and hopefully that first guys night out won't be the last. I viewed it as a...

I think about these things

  I love cop shows including Law & Order SVU, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Chicago PD, The Hunting Party and the list goes on and I know these shows are scripted. Even though these shows are scripted, incidents that the actors/actresses portray on these shows can be brought up in real life and the outcomes of these incidents might have more serious implications in real life rather than tv life. I often times think, if I was in those incidents on tv, how would I react in real life? From police matters to kidnapping someone I love or myself being kidnapped or being killed. I know the correct response would be to stay calm but if somebody harms me or someone that I love, I think I'll kill a motherfucker!! If somebody gets in my way via force, I'll have to kill that motherfucker too. I'm not that type of guy but please don't push me.  In regard to police matters, especially police officers (some or most) harassing or/and killing brown and black people, I wouldn...
