Sorry folks, I’ve  been gone for quite a while. Last time I made a post was about 2 months ago. Now look, its Revenge of the 5th. It was the same time last year I was getting to the point of wanting to date my girlfriend and my radio show days were slowly coming to an end.

The beginning of 2013 was rough. Arguments, my dads business, deadlines, and BS at work is taking its toll. I’m not even in school! The stress of trying to get  back in school is worse than being in it. But as I tell myself self always, “its gon’ get better”. It has too, my fathers business is coming together and this tech website I want to get together is actually coming together. Only thing left is to motivate my Authors. Oh and not to mention my girlfriend and I’s anniversary is approaching, ITS GOING TO BE OUR 1 YEAR! The month of May is always an exciting one. The months following are always sketchy. Its either good or bad. Ya’ never know. 

So this is my little update, I’ll hit y’all back up with another one. 

Remember! Live life, don’t let life live you!

War at Home

“Think global, act local.” Write a post connecting a global issue to a personal one.

War

The first thing you may think about when you hear the word war is maybe WWII or the recent one, the War on Terrorism. Is war really the answer to solving problems everywhere? I mean across the globe right now people are at war. The Mafia is at war, the Bloods and the Crips are at war. I mean, there is just violence everywhere! 

This global issue which is relevant, is widely known to Americans as just an over seas conflict when in reality its here in our cities and neighborhoods. Gang violence is the cause of 10,000 American deaths each year and the numbers keep rising. In an ABC documentary  a total number of 410 people were killed in the streets of Chicago. That’s a large number in just one month. 

Gang violence is everywhere and the youth are the ones that are dragged into this life style by huge influences from off the streets they were raised on to even their favorite rapper. Gang violence is not heard about to much on the nations news, mostly through TV shows or documentaries. The fact that people kill one another for no complete reason is wrong. 

In the black community gang members will kill you over anything like a simple facebook post directed towards someone, or even just looking there way. I’ve grown up in a bad neighborhood and still reside there till this day. Its hard trying to succeed when the neighborhood is trying to hold you back and stop you in any way. With hard work and dedication it is possible to get out of the loop hole of violence and be something. 

The only real way to slow gang violence down is to educate these kids in this dangerous communities and show them that is there is more to life than pulling a glock out and ending someones life. 

This local issue is a problem and should receive more attention than it does now. 

Stop the Violence.

Burnt Out

Well the other day my house was on fire and I had to retrieve 5 items that  I would take. In the process of thinking about what I would have taken with me there was nothing that I would have gotten. Therefore there is nothing that I chose. But being that this is a different prompt I may as well choose some of my valuable items that I would get if it were really up to god to keep me alive in the process of doing so. 

Things that I wish that I could have taken from the house fire would be all of my drawings. I have an ample amount of drawings that I have stored in a drawer. A lot of those drawings have meaning to them and were drawn for a reason so each one of them are very special to me and would be devastating if they were lost in a house fire.

Something else that I would grab from the fire is a pipe that my dad and his friend found when they were younger. It really doesn’t have meaning to me but its kind of like a gift from the past and it has a story behind it of how they acquired the pipe. Its a really nice pipe made of metal and wood. They was smoking weed from it. haha!

My last and very LAST thing that I wish I would have wanted to save is this plastic yellow bird that I got when I was in elementary school. I’m not too sure on how I got it but I do remember that I was in Head Start when it was given to me by a teacher? You might ask your self whats so special about the bird, well it was made to balance in its beak. So you can put the bird in the edged of a table or on top of a short people that is flat on top and it will balance. Its really cool and have it balancing on the corner of my computer tower right now. 

Those are all the things I would have wished I saved in the house fire. But like I said the other day that If there is a fire than it was just meant to be because everything in life happens for a reason.

House on Fire

If my house was really on fire and my family was safe there really wouldn’t be anything for me to retrieve from the burning flames. I mean I could go in and take my only precious valuable that I’ve had since the age of 4, and that’s  just a stuffed animal that I’ve kept over the years. Anything else would just have to go.

I mean for example, Jeff Hardy from WWE, his house caught on fire and he lost everything that he had and has had to start all over again. If your house catches on fire, then it must have been meant to be because once there is flames all over then its practically over. Now I can see if I was in the house which is what this prompt is referring too than I would just be like screw it and save myself because trying to save an item would make me materialistic.

Where I’m trying to get to now is that if you were to try and save 5 items from a house fire than you are a complete idiot for the simple fact that you have to hold all of that stuff and try to dodge falling embers and flames while trying to save your self and 5 man made items.

So what advice would I give you? Don’t be materialistic.

On the inside Looking out

As I look out the window and survey my street I see the memories I made growing up as a child in Newburg. The block, Aral Drive, holds hundreds, if not thousands of memories that I created with friends that come and go. Its like a movie going on that only I can see. My friends and I throwing paper airplanes, playing hide and go seek, the police arresting a bunch of thugs and, the most vivid one I can remember, the scene where a girl was ran over and killed on the corner of Aral and Lagoona. I remember it all…

When I look out the window my memories come to life. To the ordinary eye you will see the small brick houses and the cracked roads and along with everything the little kids who roam the streets causing trouble. Through my eyes I can see the my gang causing havoc to the neighbors by hopping fences and ringing doorbells, running before someone opens the door.

Unlike any other ghetto neighborhood its not run down and looks fairly nice with the blooming flowers and big trees that look very beautiful during the summer time. Right now during winter my neighborhood looks cold and gloomy, but brings back good memories that I made during the winter with good friends I had as a kid. As life is, things come and go and nothing last forever and now here I am on the Inside Looking Out.

The Beginning of the End

Well its official, I am now a High school graduate of Southern High School. The class of 2012 is the 61′st class to graduate under our new principle Mr. Hibbert. Its been a long 4 years…but a long 12, 13 if ya’ throw in head start. It feels like I have been in school forever. Basically my whole life, but now…now I’m a free man about to do my thing in life.

I still remember the first day of school when my dad walked me in and showed me to the teachers. I started to cry when he walked away. I still remember the first day of middle school, my neighbor “Yari” and I walked in and approached our asshole of a math teacher asking if this is the right team. I also still remember the first day of high school, my homie Dakotah and I rolled up in Southern amazed by all of the other students trying to make our way through the crowded halls. It feels like this all happened yesterday but now look at me, all grown and out of school.

I’m still stunned that I even got to this point just for the simple fact that I cruised my whole senior year just sitting in class writing random crap and get good grades. I had a slight feeling I wasn’t gonna make it but I pulled through last minute and got my sh*t together. Now here I am with a diploma with my name on it and a cap and gown hanging up in my room. What a wonderful feeling that is.

Now that I am done with my free education, its time to move on up to my post secondary education and get my move on in life. I’m still going to skate, draw, and do all the other crap I enjoy doing in life and hope for the best.

To end this post I would like to quote a favorite hip-hop artist of mine.

“They say that life is what you make it, so what you been creating on yo’ free time” – Big K.R.I.T.

This ends my May Post…Check out what I got going on in the next few weeks. I’m gonna get a “Real World” series going. Holla!

PS. Shout out the Class of 2012!

So, I know a few months ago I took down my comments page due to the amount of spam I was getting daily. Now I’m just like screw it and plan on returning the page. So maybe in a few days I’ll update my site with the comments page. 

Why do I plan on bringing it back?

Well I want feedback from people. I recall having maybe one comment giving me some good feedback. So I’m just gonna simply bring it back and call it a day.

While I was looking though my facebook notes I saw that I had these string of notes that I called “The Statement” Theres like 6 of them bad boys. My mind was in a dark place at the time so all the vulgar language and psychopathic images that I insert in your head while you read them is a bit chilling…well not like that but its petty deep and expresses a lot of emotion and hate at this period of time in my life that I kept locked away in the shadows. I think I’m just gonna go and post them to this blog. I already have Pt 1 floating around here somewhere. Just go to the bottom of my site where the search bar is and type “The Statement Part 1″ You should be able to find it then.

Exploding Rocks Future

The future for my blog right now is blurry. As I try to look forward and see what new things I can do with it, it seems like it faded away into a bunch of dumb social media post about celebs and government issues that I personally don’t care about. What I really don’t my blog to turn into is a blog that is just churning more trash into the web. Unlike many blogs, mines is just a tad bit different. My stories and point of views are different, videos and pictures I post is different. There are tons of things that make my blog stand out from the others. My biggest fear is that I become that person who is only trying to attract everyone and just blogs about dumb stuff that stupid, un-knowledgeable people read. I mean, yeah I make a few dumb post but thats just to liven’ the day up. Then I get back to my deep thoughts and issues that is important to me.

I know I’m not making sense but you’ll later on get what I’m talking about in the near future when you see what I blog about. Like I said, Exploding Rock is a blog where I talk about what ever. Right now its mostly about music, and events that occur in my life that strike me in a hard way. In the near future I plan to broaden my aspect of things in life I enjoy…for example.

MOVIES! I’m not to much of a movie guy but there are movies that I look forward into watching. Like the New G.I.Joe movie that is coming out, The Amazing Spider Man and that new batman movie that I blogged about a few days ago. You’ll be seeing more interesting stuff….

Now that you see where I’m going this all goes back to the first paragraph….What I really don’t my blog to turn into is a blog that is just churning more trash into the web.….So in all I’m basically contradicting that my blog is going to be another blog out there on there internet that is making random post about life and the future of which many people do not have.

Thank you for skimming through this and have a wonderful day because I just wasted your life reading this.

Almost everything…

Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart
