#MV7 Redemption

Exclusive: Nike Re-Signs Michael Vick - CNBC

This is about to go down in history as the first time an endorser has had a change of heart after dropping an athlete or entertainer and regain their celebrity.  Michael Vick is the true example of Redemption.  When everybody signed him off and treated him like the scum of the earth.  He now is back in the NFL after serving his sentence in prison.  As well as regained the trust and respect of the future spokesman for the NFL as of April 2012, Nike.  They see despite all of the reports and turmoil, people (alot) of people still love Mike Vick.  I salute you sir!  This type of second chance can only come from a higher power, people these days are so quick to crucify a person when they make a mistake.  I pray that the reminder of your career will be highlighted with a Championship ring!  Welcome back to NIKE!

I see this story as a sense of spit in the face of law enforcement and the economy.  Nobody is safe these days, its corruption all around us.  Somehow its a test to the old question, "Does everybody have a price?"  I understand loyalty but I shatter the idea of stupidity when the price of your freedom is questioned.  Federal time or offenses is not worth the hassle.  But maybe my street ties are not that strong, because some things just should not be ask of, by someone who is supposed have your best interest at hand.  This story seems bigger than what they have published.  Maybe we should stay tuned.

So You Took Your Talents Down to South Beach?

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
