Welcome

Being unemployed gives you time to think. It is a rare opportunity to reflect on who you are, and who you plan to become. Financial difficulty is a life defining experience when faced with homelessness. I have a belief that everything happens for a reason. Having a chance to live outside of and observe a system we strive to be a part of, which will eventually destroy us gives life a new perspective. At times deep in thought I remind myself that the test of success is graded in your ability to face failure. As a young man aspiring to be a rapper I often wrote of my fear of failure, and my desire to succeed. It wasn't until age 30 on a windy October day that I embraced the idea; stagnation is like dying, all successes in life, love, and finance involve risk and accountability for your actions. The fear of failure is the same as the fear of success.

RIP America, Long Live Troy Davis


September 21, 2011 at 11:08PM the United States of America proved something to the world at the expense of yet another blackman. The machine of American democracy cannot but turned off or shutdown even when the poor, innocent, and unfortunate are at risk. There is a new dawn in the land of the free and home of the brave; you are only free if you have wealth you are only brave as long as there are politics to hide behind.

Millions of letters and calls, 51 congressman, 3 presidents one of whom being George W. (I don't care about poor people) Bush, the Pope, Desmond TuTu, countless members of the media, and the millions who voted to grant these people power and position were silenced. At 11:08PM America was told in no uncertain terms that morals, passion, and truth have no place in this country. A system we created killed a potentially innocent man. Reasonable doubt has been nullified, as was the right to a fair trial because arrogance would not allow a governmental entity to admit it is fallable.

There has been an outcry against capital punishment and the ideal they we should not be playing God. Yesterday the country I call home and the government who runs it proved they supercede God. The United States of America decides who eats and who straves, who works and who struggles, who has and who has not, and now they hold life and death in their hands. We have become children playing with hand grenades.

In the face of uprisings around the world we have been incited, dared, teased, and tempted into civil uprising here at home. We will stand mute. The arms of America have become too short, and too weak to box with God. We will do and say nothing live and die where race, sex, and education mean nothing to the powers that be.

Our money will still be green, our budget will still be red and our government will gift wrap slavery for masses as long as our flag flies. In God we trust, God bless America, one nation under God, I do solemly swear upon God as my savior, God does not exist anymore we traded God for a broken democracy.
