So You Took Your Talents Down to South Beach?

Eddie Long accuser arrested on drug, gun charges | ajc.com


Here's a perfect example of what happens in the dark always come to the light.  Not that soon after the million dollar settlement of the Eddie Long case guess who pops back up in the news.  At 24, I admit I have made some mistakes, hey, alot of mistakes, but this right here....has dumb written all over it.  I don't know the whole story, don't really care.  Shoutout to the others who got paid, what do you call person who will do anything for money?

Summer Rain

This is the time of year, where the challenge of living right is tested,
as the flesh begins to flourish in the heat, and good thoughts are rested,
Beautiful skin, bodies, and smiles around you,
thoughts/plans of who is gonna be your next boo,
Bath & Body Works scents surrounding the mall,
the excuses used by many, short we all fall,
This is the leisure time for teachers & some students,
thoughts and actions will not be considered in prudence,
I always assumed when u get to a certain point or place in life,
the idea of physical would not be as important to someone's life,
Whether right or wrong, doing & saying the ol' things should change,
waiting for that young & tender should be a no, no, because they are out of your age range,
Limited thoughts, and vocabulary is what I assume,
from young minds regardless of age leading to doom,
I salute those who can make it through any storm,
bad people disguised to be what they aren't in any form,
Shoutout to the other single people in the world, we not alone,
so on those late summer nights, they'll be waiting by the phone...

Never needed a date to be happy, the summer rain is enough to make a grown man cry, Cry tears of Joy, with joy you will realize, only ONE could provide that joy, which makes it easier to recognize the ones who are just there for a season.  If you know like I know, if you don't want that season to begin, try the LOCKOUT approach.  NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

Neglecting words

Yesterday's message was about SURRENDERING FAITH, so often ppl ask u to keep the FAITH or remain FAITHFUL, but without any recognition of what must transpire in order for your blessings to become complete, it is describes as "Substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen"

Basically if u have no vision, don't blame your decision on FAITH! Bcuz most often u will do use the word FAITH but not practice it, then when things go bad, u blame HIM, ask for UNDERSTANDING, that way u can VISUALIZE your blessings & create a foundation for it to stand on

Hard To Find

as i gaze at the city from my artistic view, 

i see families walking, playing, and laughing but where are you?

probably consumed in nothing but want to be taken seriously

what we tell our young people when they have no direction just go be all you can be

but is this reality, is this wrong or right?

i have never accomplished anything in life without a fight

its just something about being the underdog that turns my on switch up

i used to get a kick out of making a quick buck

now i see that all those things i did and even the money i made amounted to nothing

on a quest now for my island queen or spanish seniorita but in the wrong places im loving

i dont want to come off as judmental

but we as a culture need to get back to the basics since reading is fundamental

take what you read and how you listen as a way to improve your character

i know your inner child may be hard to find

This Little Light (Let it Shine, All Of The Lights)

This little LIGHT let it shine, for it is the reason that we pay attention,
this is dedicated to those who put their business on FACEBOOK & Twitter,
maybe you should rent a camera crew so you can at least get paid more than attention,

Let your LIGHT shine, because LIGHT is the only thing that defeat darkness,
Our objective is to get our shine on, not to fall off,
Good intentions are fine, even though NO GOOD DEED goes unpunished even in darkness,

What happens in the dark always comes into the LIGHT,
so if you thought for one moment that you was getting away with your mess, you wrong,
Someone always watching, trust and believe through life you always have to answer to the LIGHT.

Its like the PJs, roaches scatter when u turn the LIGHTS on,
Life is like a new show, if the spotLIGHT is on you, then you need to perform,
but if u not pleasing others, guess what they don't wanna put you on..

NightLIGHTS, bright LIGHTS, shining in the city, flipping tricks, I have to admit it was a lovely life,
But I grew up, I knew that wasn't what HE planned for me,
So now I'm getting my grown man on & building a new life...

Nice LIGHTS, her smile, nice headLIGHTS, her breast, nice reflection, I was talking about her Complexion,
I used to love LIGHTskin females then I grew up, thanks to Keisha & Tiffany I decided to love those with a tan,
Then I moved to East Atlanta and now I am a sucker for accents, culture, & females with my COMPLEXION,

In the midst are dark intentions of the world and in these streets,
I'm determined to let my lil' positive LIGHT shine,
Loving my past because its made me make the right decisions away from the streets.

To the single mothers that think nobody care, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE,
to the struggling brother who think that he need that fast money, but has the talent to do whatever LET YOUR LIGHT...
Let your Light illuminate the room, All Eyez on You, that's what PAC was talking about, LET it SHINE,

All the wrong in the world, communities, schools, churches, we are closing our eyes & looking the other way,
Criticize me for my thoughts, my words, my life, call me a hypocrite if u want, its my LIGHT,
The thing is, you don't have the power to turn MINE off, lol, I defeated DEATH 3 times, still here, by the way,

In a bad relationship you can't see the troubles or faults until you see the LIGHT,
Been blinded by BS and sold dreams & broken promises,
Now, you at the bar, or in the hood talking about you need a drink or a LIGHT.....

Congrats to all who are in the midst of darkness but letting their LIGHT shine, making those POWER MOVES!  #salute

Dad accused of tattooing his toddler is sentenced | ajc.com

So have we as a society and a people have come to a point in life where stupidity is now an understatement in judgment. I will admit, I met some people in middle school that had a tattoo. And if this is you, by all means who am I to judge you or your parents nor the person who decided you were at 12 or 13 mature enough to have a tattoo. According to the Constitution we as a people have the right to express ourselves freely whether it may be through using your body as a canvas for artistic views and memories or by piercing your flesh. Either way, something has to strike us as strange or morally wrong when you have a story about a parent tattooing his child. At three years old, how bored are you as a parent that you want to give your child a tattoo, or how drunk or high could you be? Then again, how ignorant can you be to brand your child for life because you decide it was a good idea to do this. Click below for a more detailed report of the story. Feel free to post any comments.
