“I sit alone in my four cornered room staring’ at hammers
Ready to go bananas, Two vests on me, two techs, extra clips on me
I know my mind ain’t playing’ tricks on me,
I ain’t skitz, hommie, ain’t nobody drop a mick on me
It’s like they tryna plot a set on me
I hear this voice in tha back of my mind
Like mack tighten up ya circle before they hurt you”

Burst Pipes or Made Diamonds???

As the presidential election is knocking on our doors, I thought about how much pressure is surrounding this election. Pressure for the candidates and pressure for the voters. It’s probably an equal amount on both sides of the fence. Everyone involved is anticipating the outcome . Looking into the complexities of this election, and given many of the things people deal with on an everyday basis; I really wanted to focus on the concept of pressure. Scientifically speaking the definition of pressure is the effect of a force applied to a surface. Relatively simple, then a few old heads came up ways to measure pressure in different terms, blah blah blah. As I look at life in general, and reflect on conversations recently had; I have really been looking how people tend handle pressure. The thought of pressure is viewed as both a positive and a negative thing. The phrases most commonly associated are one of two things, “pressure busts pipes” or “pressure makes diamonds.” (more…)
Hunger For More

Growing up, your always told to clear you plate, eat everything there, don’t leave any leftovers. Most times as a kid, you may want some more, but parents make specific instructions: about finishing your vegetables, clearing the first plate, etc. Of course you don’t want to eat ALL the veggies on the plate, but if you want another piece of chicken you will follow instructions. It’s at that point when your hunger kicks in, and you do everything you have to get that next piece of the good stuff. Normally it’s something that is only in small portions, another piece of chicken, steak, fish, something that tastes a little better than the veggies. After having a recent conversation with a friend, the thought about staying hungry crossed my mind.
The hunger that I speak of is not in the sense of eating food of the dinner plate. It’s actually about staying hungry in life. Hungry in life, yes the thought of constantly wanting more, never getting full, and doing what you need to get to the next plate. When you are hungry in life, your drive and determination are limitless. You realize that your appetite is not being met; therefore your stomach is steady growling. KEEP READING
