If you’re reading this page, and this is your first time..I welcome you, and the same time I offer you very little explanation of course of verbal direction as I foolishly assume you possess the mental capability to comprehend..
For anyone else…You may not know this, but it’s been a while since I’ve sat down and just wrote what I thought and how I felt.
Pretty strange turn my page has taken over the course of the past few months, I suppose one would be correct in saying that lately I’ve put so much of my efforts and thoughts into writing music, that a part of me has fallen silent.
Well I’m quite sure how I would respond to such a opinion, perhaps mainly because on some level such an opinion would be true. But you see, it’s not that I no longer care about sharing what I think, or that I feel as though nary a soul would care anyway…It’s just that it’s hard to know and understand how people feel, if everyone is so afraid to share…
The world as you know is ever changing, as one country or nation rises, another is falling..funny because that’s EXACTLY how the pairs in the currency trading game works, ones’ gain is another's’ loss. A simple and basic analogy that be applied to just about everything in life. For every “up” there is a “down. Another example: As the price of gas soars upward towards $5 & $6 dollars a gallon, the spending capital of the American consumer goes down. I believe the proper term for this is “fluctuation”. A relatively obscure term, fluctuation, brings to mind the picture of a boat riding the waves of the sea, far out in the ocean…ah how I love when etymology quietly creeps into the room..lol.
But no really…Today I’ve got a thought to share..
The following was taken from a thought I shared with a friend today on Facebook. That think on some level should apply to everyone. As you read it, take from it, that which you can yourself relate. Afterwards, I continue, or make attempt to elaborate.

*Disclaimer for those who may read this*
ME: #ABITCHILDISHBUT I'm a little peeved that my PS3 Trophies have yet to update & show up on my Facebook...I worked(played) hard for those, and feel that I simply MUST share & flaunt my accomplishments to others...How else will anyone know that I'm #WINNING ? Oh well...back to reading.

Friend: Can we say, "Grow the hell up fool!" kindly..... lol Come on LE go back into the military or something.... Im starting to think that you are sitting around being a couch potato with all of your spare time.
-
ME: LOL. Um..my Army days are far, far behind. And to be honest, I don't really play video games all that much(anymore..lol...but I'm still just as serious about it), 'cause I've always got my head in a book, doing homework, or writing. I don'teven watch television all that much, unless the red envelope is in the mailbox...Couch potato...one day...just as soon as I win the lottery, win a Grammy, or my 4X skills start bringing in at least 5 figs a month.
Grow the hell up? I'm telling my mom, just as soon as I get up to grab another Gatorade and some Twizzlers.(In my stomping off mad, year-old grown man voice) YOU'RE A MEANIE-STUPIDHEAD! LOL -

With that being said:
NO I don't really still live at home with my mommy, YES I am one of those "No life Gamer Geeks*, the best in fact(ASK ABOUT ME), and on some level it really does still bother me that my PS3 Trophies have yet to post(STILL?? COME ON!!), SERIOUSLY...Do know how many times it took me to beat the final boss on Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Do you? Do you know what that feels like? It ain't easy folks...But Ryu, Deadpool, Wolverine, and I did it on the 5th try AND I was down to my last man!...THAT AINT EASY! Oh and yes I'll admit, I do use the terms *OWN* *RAPED* *BEAST* & *I HATE CAMPERS* Quite frequently when referring to snotty nosed kids who talk shit on video games while camping in corners 'cause they're too scared of ending up on the highlight reels...And don't even get me started on Monopoly...I'll bankrupt that ass! Maybe I do take video games a little more serious than a grown man should, but anyone who knows me knows that I can't just play for the sake of having fun..somebody has to win, somebody has to lose..scratch that I ALWAYS WIN...don't even know what it means to lose.
No but seriously(funny)...With all the shit going on in the world today...If what I said above is the worst part of my day, then everything else in life is pretty easy to deal with...
And before I go back to Tetris...just in case you're wondering(probably not)...HELL NO, I don't EVER let my kids win..NEVER, EVER, EVER...gotta beat the boss to be the boss in this household!
Enjoy your day/afternoon/night folks...And admire..ADMIRE I say, my XBOX360 Achievements, my K/D Ratio, my prestige, my PS3 Trophies as they post when they post..or not..I wouldn't..'cause that would be really pointless and weird. Do however find time in your busy lives to take a moment, play a game of some sort, shoot the __k out an alien or space robot, race the car of your dreams..just zone out for a half hour to an hour(sometimes two)...with all the __t you/we go through it's well deserved...A reward for handwork.
...mmm...on last..last...For the naysayer...Reads books on Physics/Politics/Linguistics, constantly & carefully develops/manages a creation of imaginitve art, composes music/songs/lyrics, blogs about the random, technically analyzes & studies global financial markets(4x), pursues a degree in Music Production while simultaneously pursuing a degree in Social Science, develops mobile software apps for cell phones & mobile devices, writing a book, socially consults, Thanks God for every moment of the day, parent, husband, son, brother, brother in-law, oh and dammit if I don't play the guitar from time to time...That's just a part of what I do EVERYDAY...when I'm not playing video games..in addition to being the only person who happens to be there for others when everyone else is "too busy"...Basically I'm just like everybody else...except it just so happens I'm the only person I know who has taken the time to stop and make a list of the things they love to do and does the things they love each and everyday they are blessed to wake up...I guess you could say it's a "theory of mind"...Just like the one I wrote... - ---------------------------------------------------
As I was typing that, I stared thinking…Why is it that few people are ever truly aware of their day-to-day accomplishments anymore? and if they are, why are they so quiet and secretive about it? Almost as though in today’s world only the likes of athletes and celebrities are allowed to speak highly of self, or job well done, of pursuits, of success, and of dreams?
Now I’m not saying that one should repeat the recent acts of one Charlie Sheen or flaunt their “swag” about like say Chad OchoCinco(not that I personally see a problem with such expressions), but why not say from time to time, stop and acknowledge all that we(in this case I mean ‘you) do? By that I don’t necessarily mean doing so via Twitter or Facebook(although from time to time I don’t see why not), more directly I mean in the mirror, when you wake up, you get in the car, anytime you pass by one. If not in a physical mirror, just close your eyes and gaze deeply into your mental mirror..if for nothing else but to remind yourself that you’re constantly capable of and currently are achieving great things, success on levels which no other living soul could compare. Doing so on a regular basis is a portion of what leads to the great success and overall happiness in life. CELEBRATE YOUR DAILY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & ENJOY ALL THAT FOR WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED!
That my friends(new, old, lost, find) is what I do everyday, all day, at all times, in addition to believing, dreaming, imagining, and achieving…even when times get rough, situations sours, and life hits a rough patch. I would advise that many of you start to do the same, because if you don’t you will forever fail to truly see yourself shining bright than the sun on even the sunniest of days.
For today that’s all I’ve got to share…not because I’m out of things to say, but rather because the more I type and your read, the more time being taken away from you, God’s most beautiful & wonderful piece of art!
As Always,
If you listen closely to your hearts beat, you’ll forever hear the best sound track in life…
