I really don’t like how these videos are made but hell, they have a very strong message in them. During the video you kind of get the impression that they are going to tend to the woman’s racial needs but the captain isn’t having it and moves he black guy up front in the first class.
GO CAPTAIN!

Hopefully by now you have heard about the 150 armed men who took over a federal building. Sadly enough the news was spread via social media and not the major news networks. Now I cannot solely rely on that because I haven’t seen the news today. Either way, the fact that this is being publicized as an event that doesn’t catches mainstream medias attention is ridiculous! Now I don’t want to go on a huge rant about this but stuff like this is what cause’s a disruption in peace that we are trying to create.
lol, I swear, when people do mods like this I ROFL.
Just like your backyard scientist, I too live in my garage creating master pieces. Sometimes I like to think of them as just rubbish pieces of work but then I realize all of the hard effort I put into them and I drop it all. haha. Whether your lost in what I’m saying or not, what I’m trying to say is that I make music in my garage. Its not the tidest of places but I make room to do what I got to do.
When I get any off day from working UPS and my dad I am in here. I have a welders blanket set up as an isolation pad and my mic sitting right in the middle. My laptop and audio interface are right next to me on top of blue pales full of soap. My normal routine when I come out here is first, setting up the equipment. Next I roll up a joint or maybe pack up a bowl and smoke. Right after that I search for an instrumental and then set up garageband. After that I freestyle and boom!
At first when I did it I was rapping the most shittest freestyles. After a while of just practicing I got better and eventually churned out more songs that sounded good. To be honest though I’m not to fond of all my freestyle work. I feel like I’m rushing the process of making a work of art. I love to write raps but I think at this point I just want to hear myself. I think I’m letting that distract me from what I really should be doing. I should probably figure out something because as I have been saying in my freestyles tonight, “I need help!”

Its a little bit after 3AM and here I am quietly typing away my thoughts on a computer that at one point, I would have never dreamed of owning. Its the little things in life that we take for granted though. If I didn’t have this fancy computer I probably would have had a Chromebook or something. Pretty much a little rig that can’t do anything but let me type on it. With my current station, I can create music, edit photos, and so much more awesome stuff!
Thats all besides the point. The point that I am trying to mention is my place in life. I often question it and never give myself an answer because I feel like its diabolical. Its kind of scary to think but I always push that thought off to the side. A lot of times when the topic does pop up is when I’m on top of a roof cleaning a hood with my dad. Its not the best job in the world but its all the old man knows how to do.
I feel and see a lot of lacking in my life. There isn’t a lot there but a bunch of emptiness and cold chilling air that occasionally creeps up your spine. Its all too surreal but like I said earlier, I try not to think about it and go on about my day.
It still bothers me though. I want to know more but I know that knowing will kill me. I still can’t let a small reason stop me as I journey into the mist. It some times makes me sick to my stomach but in the end I always feel better. Kind of like when you throw up. haha!
ill find it soon

I read a blog post this morning that Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole, passed away the other day. She was only 65. I never really listened to her music but it shocked me because she was one of those people who’s names are automatically placed in your head because their famous. The article reminded me of the time that Michael Jackson passed away. I just remember sitting in my room after popping in his Dangerous album and listening to a man who once was alive. Its a chilling feelings. I noticed something that day though.
I noticed that everyone else in their own type of remembrance was listening to Michael Jackson. It wasn’t that long after that every one was listening to him and it made me wonder what would have happened if he didn’t pass. Would people listen to his music? Would they have bought the collectors edition of his albums or spent all that money to watch “This is it” in theaters? Just a week before he moved on to the next life you couldn’t find anyone jamming to Billie Jean unless they were a Michael Jackson fan.
Hows does this tie in to Natalie’s Death? Well its an example (to me at least) of how we tend to take people for granted. You can’t always tell yourself, “Oh I’ll see Billy tomorrow.” Billy may not be here tomorrow so you should spend time with him now. This life is a very unpredictable as we all know and ever since High School, I’ve seen a lot of people die. Some of them I have never talked to, one of them I kind of knew. I’ve been out of High School for 3 years now so that shows you how unpredictable life can turn out to be.
So the moral of this story is…
Don’t take people for granted. Make the effort to go see someone that way if they do move away, pass away, or anything, you won’t have that shitty little feeling sitting on your chest. Anyways, Rest in Peace to Natalie King Cole.

So last night to bring in the new year we made an exclusive track!
2016 here we come!!!
2015 was a good year. It was a learning experience and a great time. I met a lot of great people and I am glad to have run into them. 2016 will be a new year full of excitement and more learning. The goal is to never stop learning and to keep pushing forward because living in the past keeps you at bay.
My goals for the new year are simple. I plan to crack open more books, blog waaay more than usual, get a sponsorship as a skateboarder, and watch my rap career flourish. Right now my list is looking tough but I never said that my goals would be easy. Theres so much in the world I need to get done right now its not even funny.
As long as I stay focused and keep going nothing can stop me.

I am so stoned right now I can’t even see straight. This has been one hell of a night. I don’t think I can handle drunk people in the future but oh well, I guess thats life. Thats no disrespect at all and I know people want to take it that way but really, it isn’t anything. Anyways its the beginning of the new year and moments like these make me dread whats coming up. I have these big dreams and goals of real live success and I know that its there I just have to grab it.
This entire time I feel like I have been playing but its all good, I’ll just have to keep pushing down the road full of rocks and what not. Yeah I know, such an odd thing to say but lets not get into all of that right now. At this point we all just need to roll a joint and get super stoned. I mean what else can we do right now? I bet all the people in upper management smoke weed. I mean why wouldn’t you. You work at a shitty place with a shitty job title, and you act like you like that?! Come ON!
Its people like McSwain that makes me mad because they talk as if UPS is the god of all jobs. Like no! If that was the case, why in the hell is Chelsea going to Ford? These are the brain washed money hungry people in life. They want you to feel like you are succeeding but there really using you. You got to think about it these days, these folks don’t play around with bullshit like they used to back in the day. These streets done got cold but the ice tea stay bold. Its just all preference.
But thats none of my business.

Well guys we did it, another successful year down in the books. Now its time to celebrate and have a good time right? That could be a way to spend the first day of the new year but I would suggest something different. Let me suggest that we take another moment of reflection time and pull together a list of goals that we can complete this year. We have 365 days to build and grow our elves. We are more than what we seem and we should shoot for the stars when it comes to the schematics of this.
The first day of the new year must be the preparation period of which you use to plan and organize. Once the list is complete, hang it in a place where you are shown this list everyday. Day by day accomplish the small steps that lead to the top of each of the task pyramids. But its the new year and I know, we all want to drink and party. Well how about we just all drink and party with some good friends and make a mixtape or something. haha! (We actually did that tonight).
Happy New Years Guys! Hope that you have a splendid year and reach to the highest of mountains to obtain the real life valued gold.
ps. Lets Grow Together
