Holiday time

It was the Thanks Giving holiday........ which it dont really care for. The white man came over here robbed the Indians and thats we're celebrating. No thanks I'll pass, but I most definately came thru for dinner tho. And lets not forget black Friday, this is the really holiday for me. I was up in Toys R Us at 1 in the morning with the rest of the parents fighting over toys............ Side note to black people............ White people might be afraid of you in the streets, but in a toy store......STRAIGHT GANGSTA...... I mean it. I aint talking about the men either, I'm talkng about the women. The ones that look like Martha Stuart at that. They do not play!!!!! But I did get most of things my son wanted off the list. My daughter, who jus turned 1 month is good...... for now. I could get her an empty soda bottle and she'd still be happy. Yes people this is the exiciting life of a father, but I'm :) tho

Following God

I've recently made a decision to follow God and become saved, I would like to say that my life has gotten easier since that day, but I would be lying. It seems like everything has gotten worse, negative things just keeps happening to me..... I mean one after the other to the point where Its expected. You lose alot of people too. I began to have doubts............. Until I realize that I must be on the right path. Why else would the devil go thru such great lengths to try and deter me. To try and break me and bring me back down. But God is good and I continue to edure, thru out my ordeals he has never left my side and like the loyal friend I am........... I will never leave his. I struggles I am going thru is a small price to pay for the peace and joy that comes with my journey.

We gotta learn how to help eachother

One thing that I realized about other writers.........THEY DO NOT LIKE TO HELP EACHOTHER! I used to ask other more established writers what they and how they got put on hoping to get some real advise....... All these MF's did was give me some bullshit answer that was useless and kept it moving. It was allllll good tho I went found the answers I needed and formulated my own game plan. I try not to be like them, anyone who has ever asked me a question about writing a book, I always help them to the best of my ability and encourage them in any way I can. I know alot of you who read my blog are writers yourself, or are avid readers who thought about writing a book.............. So what I'm gonna do is tell you how I started and what I did.
First off let me say that everyone has a story to tell, whether its events that took place in your life or just an idea you have, we all have a story to tell. The only difference between you and a writer is that a writer found a way to tell his story and profited. So like so many readers I always had these ideas in my head and I would tell them to a friend of mine who'd really like them. After I decided that this was what I was going to do I got a composition note book. Please pay attention to the last part. I said after I decided that I wanted to be a writer I got a COMPOSITION NOTEBOOK, not a $1200 laptop, but $2 notebook. Thats all you need, and I began to write down everything. it was scattered at first and unorganized but I wrote down all my ideas and thoughts in my book. Everywhere I went I had it and as soon as something came to me I wrote it down. Then I did my research. I googled everything, anything I wanted to kno was right there online. Topics like "how to write a book", "how to copyright your book," and "how to publish your books" were what I spent hours reading about. I also would read about famous authors and how they came up. I studied their strategies and tried to see if it could work for me. I entered writing contest and most importantly I started networking and trying to showcase my work on Facebook. I also started a blog, which u already know.......coz ur reading it now.......lame joke, I'm sorry........ but find a platform for your work so people can see it and judge for themselves. Most importanly learn how to listen and not take things personal. The negative criticisms are the most important ones. Take it in analyze it and see how u can imporove. IIIII Think thats about it....... for now anyway. I'm no where close to where I want to be as far as my goals, but I'm one step closer. I hope I was of some help to someone today who wanted to take that first step but didnt know how. Be blessed

Fatherhood

Whats everyone sorry for being MIA for so long but fatherhood is kicking my ass...... I have my daughter in one hand * who is growing beautifully* in one hand trying to comfort her and I have my son pulling my other hand telling me to play cars with him... And I use the words "telling me" because to him its not a request. Sleep! Forget it. That doesnt exist anymore. I get puked on, peed on and ish on my hands. This is definately no walk in the park, but I'm holding my own. Its rough but beautiful.

As far as my writing goes, I'm still on it. Never stop...... thats my rule. Deal or no deal you keep writing and stacking your material so when its time to go in u have ur amo ready to unleash on em. Trying meet some new people right now network. Thats what everyone keeps telling me. U gotta network. Its all about who u kno and who they. So thats my focus right now. This weekend I'm trying to put togeather an interview and post it on Youtube so people can see the man behind the words. This is either gonna turn alotta people on or turn them off. Real recognize Real, so thats what I'm banking on. Til next time people hold ya head and remember that between a dream and success lies a struggle. 1

Spike Lee vs Tyler Perry.SMH

I was shocked and a little angered by the comments Spike Lee made about Tyler Perry. For those dont kno what I'm talking about please google it or Youtube..... My first love had always been movies. Before I wrote my book, I had wrote a sceenplay that I had hoped to turn into a movie someday. Due to lack of funds however i was forced to put that on hold..........for now. Growing up I had always admirred Spike Lee, not just for his work but for who he is. Thats why I was shocked that he would throw shots at another brother openly infront of white America. If he had an opinion and felt a certain way, he should have spoken to Tyler Perry in private man to man. Sorry Spike I love you but I cant respect what you did and the way you went about it. You may not like Tyler Perry's film, maybe its not your taste, but you have to respect his drive. Here is a man who went from being homeless to becoming one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Yes we need black films that bring awareness and moves us, but we also need black films that makes us laugh........ Why is it a problem for a black film maker to poke fun at himself, whites do it all the time......Example: Married with children...... There's obviously a market for it, his movies are making millions of dollars. Bottom line is Spike is older and more experienced than Tyler, he should be trying to help him up, instead of breaking him down.....................

Ten tips on how to survive your woman's pregnancy

We all know that a woman being pregnant is a beautiful thing. She is bringing life into the world and its a very special time, but for a man those nine months could be a nightmare........ So I've put togeather a list of tips for men on how to make it through those nine months without losing your mind......... and a lil blood.

Tip number 1- Dont argue with her. Let me say that again to reinforce it. DON'T ARGUE WITH HER!!!!!!!!!! Coz your gonna lose, even if your right your gonna be wrong at the end of the arguement.... and your gonna end up apologizing and feeling like shit. Here's what you say when a conflict arise... "Your right and I'm sorry" and shut the fuck up.

Tip number 2- Keep her fed..... A hungry pregnant woman is a angry pregnant woman, so feed her. Take her out to a nice restaurant once in awhile and cater to her cravings.

Tip number 3- Learn how to duck.... This tip is just incase you didn't follow tip number 1..... Cause whatever is in her hand she's gonna throw it at you..... and she will be aiming directly for your head.

Tip number 4- Tell her she's beautiful. You'll get mad points for this.

Tip number 5- Give her plenty of hugs. She's real emotional during these months and needs that support.

Tip number 6- Dont buy anything big for yourself. If you do you better not let her know, coz your gonna have to resort to tip number 3 again.

Tip number 7- Stop hanging out and partying. She cant do any of those things and since you help make the baby, she expects you to take that ride with her.

Tip number 8- Buy a book on expectant mothers...... You aint really gotta read it, just keep it around so she can see it. Again you'll mad points for this.

Tip number 9- Stop messing with your side chicks.....I mean it, for them nine months you better make sure that any woman that calls your phone is a relative.

Tip number 10- Is simple, remember that if she aint happy your not gonna be happy......... So make her happy.

I'm no Dr. Phil, but I'm on my second kid and these are the things that I've learned. and you better believe I had to learn tip number 3 the hard way.

Sacrifice is the price we pay for the good in our life

I often wonder why the bad is so much easier to believe than the good. Why I often question when a women tells me she loves me and quickly accept it when she doesn't??? Why when I recieve a gift I look for the strings that are attached to it???? Why when I find joy I await the pain that I believe will surely follow??? I wonder if this is part of my character and personality. Something I was born with, Or maybe this the way I built myself. Designing my heart never to be broken.
I know I'm not the only one....... Sometimes behind her nasty attitude and slick talk is a woman whose been hurt. Maybe when she doesn't sleep with you, it isn't because she's playing hard to get. Someone before took advantage of her and trust doesn't come easily anymore. Maybe she pushes you away out of hopes that you will pull her closer. She Builds walls not to keep you out, but to see if you love her enough to climb over instead of walking away...................... We give up too easily. "Sacrifice is the price we pay for the good in our life"
