Too know me.....

Today was a much needed break day because I have been running as my mom would say like a chicken with its head cut off. I don't think many people realize the energy and effort it takes to really commit to an idea vision or quest and see it fully through. I always knew from a  young age rocking a nine to five forever wasn't for me. Please understand me I have no problem with working in the traditional workforce and still do it time to time to support my ultimate goals but I believe the day to day survival of making it happen has gotten a hold of me. Yet don't confuse me with one of those aimless dreamers who live in the clouds not realizing bills got to get paid and obligations must be met.

I guess you can say I am writing this blog because alot of people ask me how do you stick with your dream and goals after all these years. My only answer to them is desire. There is no obstacle that can hold me down. I believe God gave me a stick to it attitude to the 10th power and that is what you need to succeed in whatever you choose to do.

Some days I think wow I could have took the easy route. I could have just took record contracts that were presented to me. I could have married the first lady that seemed like she loved me. I could have stayed in Georgia all my life never venturing out to see what the rest of the world has to offer. But in reality sometimes what you say no to today can be what sets you up for tomorrow and tomorrow for me ends in success....

Boys to Men

We all at one time or another have heard in our lifetime a woman can't raise a man. Whether you believe or not its all based on your perspective. Family life today is no longer what our parents and generations before us would have ever pictured. They are more single families and the need for young men to have father figures in their lives has become a great need.

I believe for us positive male role models we must help our sisters and help these young brothers to grow into great men. Believe me a little private time with a young boy or teen goes a long way. Good advice from a man really enables them with the life skills that can only be taught by a man. It feels good sometimes to get a man to man talk. I hope real men can realize that is our responsibility to help carry the load to see a young child develop into a young man. Too all the single mothers continue to be the strong but remember their are still positive role models for the young men in your lives.

Let's Chill....

After a long hard week I am know different than anyone else I am waiting for the weekend. I want to chill. I want to take the A-Town hat off and be around friends that like me for me and who I can be myself around. I mean this is Atlanta the Mecca of the South and starting to be the city that never sleeps but why am I stuck in the house all weekend?

I have cool down to earth friends but for some reason why is it so hard to find single people who don't think clubs, smoking or drinking is necessary to have fun. I been there done that and its no way I am going back. Yet I do have a need to be around others but I refuse to compromise and be the person I was. When I made a choice to follow Christ I knew I left the world behind and each and everyday that means people sometimes too. I definitely don't want to come off as a snob cause if you know me you can tell I am very down to earth. I just want to know why its just so hard to have good clean fun sometimes.

By the way I am going to say something that most saved people don't want to admit even hanging with church people can be so boring. Some are so stiff you think you hanging with a corpse. So this is Mr. Sleepless in Atlanta looking for real friends who love life and want to enjoy.

FRIEND OR FOE

On this journey in life I have gained some friends and I have lost some friends. Some I wish I had never met and some I simply hope never leave. I have often heard people say you can tell where a person is going or what kind of person you are dealing with by the friends that surround them. If this is true I really think we should be very wise about who we call a friend.

The best way I have found to distinguish a friend from a foe is my life guide for living. Of course for me its the bible and it always has some insight into any situation you are dealing with in life. The bible gave a clear characteristic of a friend. It says" a friend loves at all times". How can someone say that their your friend if they don't love you. A real friend can love you when you broke busted and disgusted.  A real friend can let you ride shotgun when you don't have the fresh fade or or new J's. A real friend doesn't care if you don't have the same opinions or agree with them on every matter in life.

As I look back over my life I wish I had made what the bible said" surety of my friend" or would have been for certain this was a genuine friend. Life is too short for fake people in our lives. Either you are a friend or you faking it. If you faking it I will say one thing fall back so I can get to real friends that will love me for me.

Would Someone Please Change the Channel

SMH!!!! I am wondering today why do I pay this gigantic bundle cable bill. Its a 1000 channels but maybe four shows to follow if that. I remember back in the day networks competed for ratings for real. You had quality shows like the Cosby Show, Different World, heck I will even throw Friends in there. Nope I will not put 90210 in this but at least it was good tv at least. Now and days with this Reality TV we are left with turning the tube every five minutes hoping something good comes on. I guess I am going to either have to go with the times or develope me a show. What do you think my followers and bloggers? Its better than watching youtube all day. LOL!!!

If you want to know go to the Barber Shop!!!!!

Its become a small ritual for me every so often to go to my local barber shop and chop it up with the fellows. That forty-five minute to and hour experience of waiting and a hair cut involves so many things. Its kind of like a man's spa where we get to let go and release all the tension of a troublesome world and even a hectic job life. You can say what you want to say and nobody judges you. Everybody has a right to an opinion even if its not a fact. The only godlen rule to remember is not to offend the owner and don't be afraid to leave a generous tip when you know your barber got you right.

Well this time at the barber shop was no different than the previous I walked in to greetings of whats up and hello. I took my seat as I waited. It was kind of funny because I already knew what I wanted to talk about before I walked through the door. Last haircut me and a few regulars were discussing the upcoming football season. Of course I had my chance to gloat in my Pittsburgh Steelers who are currently 3-0.  It doesn't just stop at sports. We are quick to turn the news up when we see an interesting story. During this time you really have to be careful because one thing about barber shop talk is everyone is an expert.

Its kind of like a funny feelings each time I get ready to leave the Barber Shop because I know without one tape recorder or note pad just about everything I said while there will be remembered next time I come back. It just like that show Cheers. Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name and their always glad you came and you can always find this at your local Barber Shop.
