Japanese Power Rangers....?

I'm into some pretty obscure stuff for a young black male living in the Deep Southeastern United States of America on the planet Earth. For instance: Jazz, Breakin', Electronics...ok, maybe not obscure enough. Lemme try again: Jazz, Anatomy, Cooking, watch British tv just to improve my accent, Learning French, and watching Japanese tv shows. Ok maybe not so much either 'cept for that last one. Dramas, tokusatsu (Power Rangers, Kamen Rider), and even the occasional Godzilla movie all fit. I loves me some Japanese telebikun. It's nice sweet and to the point (most of the time)and they're soooo quirky. And people actually die...in horrible ways....and you get to see most of it.....on the screen.... Loveliness!!! I could make complaints about American television but that's just boring and then I'm also pretty sure the FCC, ABC, NBC, FOX, and Glen Beck would come after me if I said something too. With helicopters, and guns, and chloroform soaked dryerase boards. Bad guy's best friend: chloroform. Dunno why, but I watch enough tv to tell you that. Sad ain't it!







Everywhere I look I see stuff, and this stuff reminds me of other stuff, which eventually leaves my mind heavily sidetracked. Too much Di Vinci Code....

Life's Recent Thingies

I've been kinda down this last week, just cause I haven't been able to move or do anything like I wanted to. My knee hurt. A lot! I could hardly walk properly. Popped outta place once again. (Durn windmills)! So, I'm back on the horse so to speak and ready to move again. Went to church yesterday, prayed, slept, had fun with kids, picked up a granite table, watched Kamen Rider, and now I'm ready to see the world! With my good knees! So, I'm off...starting in the morning....G'nitey!








Sometimes ya think ya know more than you thought you knew and then ya find out later, ya actually don't...doncha hate that!?

Now for the Feature Presentation....Poetry!

This is an oldie that I found. I don't remember when I wrote it but I remember what I felt....



Her

If only she knew how I felt about her
Without telling her
Without giving her not one clue
If she only knew

I think of her night and day
And just listning to her words
Blows my mind away
To distant places I've never been
Far away from anyone else
Just she and I alone
In my own little fantasy

But will she accept me?
Will she turn me down
Who's to know?
Only herself and God above.

Wishes and dreams, hopes and tears
Are exceeded far worse by my fears
And they keep telling me...
"The worst she can say is no, right?"
I don't know this because I've never done this
But all I can think of is me and her
Her and me
Together

I think of her day and night
And just watching her smile
Makes me sit and think awhile
About a faraway place
Just she and I alone
In my daydream

And as these things flutter round my head like butterflies
I sit here, reflecting on my many tries
To get noticed
But, it hasn't worked
Not yet

Maybe I'll just be direct...

"Wars are lost and won but the battles are never done." I just made that up. I think..... (Checks Google....) Yep! It's mines!!!

Me Life

My knee has been hurting for days now. I stretched and it has popped out of place and is slowly recovering with only slight pain. I'm proud of myself that I'm not taking any medication for it. I'm not opposed to going to the doctor but I'd like to give myself a chance to fix myself. lol Unless the pain or injury is to serious. I just think it's good training and a good excuse to look at my anatomy books again. And for some reason I always end up turning to either the guy parts or lady parts (nomenclature for the PG-13) page. Just happens. I think I know more about bladders and hormones than I ever wanted to. And I finally have time to get back into my poetry. I found some old ones today....pure gold! I think I was better then than I am now. It's inspiring amongst other things. I just have muses coming out of the woodwork!

But anyways, that's the long and short of it...

Man

This was a post I saw by a friend of mine. It is poignant and just all around greatness! So please read and enjoy!


There are two choices for colored men:
Go nowhere… or go far.
The choice we make comes from within:
Sad excuse… or shining star.
Instinctively though, is a desire to grow,
...a yearning to be more than less.
When effort is shown and young colored boys have grown
our uniqueness will lead us to bliss.
We walk like warriors because we’ve been fighting since birth
to prove to ourselves we have a place on this earth.
There is no choice but be strong.
God made us right, He wasn’t wrong.
We are more than the criminals marginalized on the news
and the guys in the movies who murder, rape, and abuse.
We do more than run, jump, and swing.
We care about more than bling.
Colored men have taken life by the tail and still others looked the world in the face
and said, “You will not spin around the sun again, until I have my rightful place.”
We’re not allowed to complain, so we refrain and maintain.
And when anything goes wrong, guess who also shoulders the blame?
If you could ask Barack, what would he say?
What would Malcolm say, or DuBois, or MLK?
Don’t believe the hype.
If we can build pyramids, believe we can type.
We can research, we can write, we can tweet, and we can skype.
We can operate on brains or navigate a flight.
Who delivers poetry better than UPS and FedEx?
Who can break it down to you simple, be abstract or complex?
Who can conjugate verbs, build a mansion with words,
throw a party in dat piece, and greet the haters with hors’ d’oeuvres?
Frederick Douglass said, “Without struggle there is no progress.”
We struggle 'til we're free and then with life’s best we are blessed.
There are two choices for colored men:
Go nowhere… or go far.
The choice we make comes from within:
Sad excuse… or shining star.

We're Supermen! When we wanna be...

The Year...

This is, so far, one of the best years of my almost 23 yr old life. I couldn't ask for anything greater. So, I'm gonna go out and keep livin' the way I want to live. Cause we do have that choice, ya dig? I have chosen to live my life according to the will of God. A fairly recent decision, with an even more recent statement declaration (just now) but my choice nonetheless. Livin' my life like its golden! So, much love and respect to my peoples of the world. Make yer choices, live yer lives. But make sure at the end of the day you've realized the right ones (choices).
Love, Peace, n Chicken Grease ya'll!

I'm the only one eating cereal in my house [of three dudes and one mother]. YAY! More Cap'n Crunch Berries pour MOI! :-)

You......Great People You!!

I just finished looking through some notes....no, not from class (though I probably need to), on facebook (call it stalking if you must). I prefer to call it looking on from afar always watching just studying....(now I've just told on myself :-D) Anyways, I've looked at notes of people that I've known forever and people I have recently met. I saw one's hopes, dreams, nightmares, fears, sadness, elation, victory, anger, joy and much more being displayed. I saw how much people changed! Whether for better or worse; richer or poorer; blah, blah, blah. I saw how their experiences carried them to the point in their lives that they're currently living. And its wonderful to know that, for the most part, people remained the same. Their same wonderful, beautiful, amazing, terrifying, and absolutely great selves are intact! I've noticed where these people have come from (small glimpses, of course) and it simply astounds me to see these changes and similarities in situations in so many people's lives...especially my own.

Three years ago I was (pretty much) the same person I am now. And I love that. In spite of all the changes/corrections I've made trials/tribulations/triumphs I've gone through I'm still the same D-MOBB you all know (maybe) and love. Back then, I thought I'd take drastic measures and eons to even get this far in my life, but no.
I still LOVE cornbread.
I still have no trouble WRITING my thoughts out (speaking coming soon to a theater near you).
I still think I'm a nice young man.
And I still love to use humongous words (and run-on sentences). Its always been in me. Enough about D-MOBB tho.

This is all just another reminder to me that the folks God put on this planet are absolutely positively gorgeous! It makes my heart swell to see this and I feel such an overwhelming joy for the human race. Just and/or only because of this! God bless you lovely people! :-)






Taking my butt to bed after I watch a nice quiet episode of Golden Gir....nope! I'm watching a 007 movie instead. Ain't nothin' like watchin' Cap'n Blow S^%t Up (Daniel Craig) blow s*#t up with the angry man face on.

Featuring... Poetry!

This is one I wrote for a friend of mine on morning....it really doesn't have a title.

Pretty girl staring out of the window,
Why do your eyes wander...
Wander off into the nether regions of space,
Out into the wild blue yonder?

Dreaming of days gone by?
Or your beautiful beau who'll sweep you off your feet?
Wishing the world was as beautiful as the day you came into it,
Or hoping for the big turnaround at your son's conception?

Ah, ma belle fille,
Do you know what power you hold,
What weapons you wield,
What extraordinary things you can do
With just a click of your heels
A flick of your wrist
A wink of your eye

You know...I know you do.
You won't tell me though.

Writing blog(s).....intere(s)ting hobby. I (s)hould write more often.

Of All The Lovely Persons...

...to walk in to my life.... :)
Should YOU ever read this I'd like to say thanks for being you. I'm such a baby sometimes and you were there babysittin' my emotions sometimes. lol I think about how we met purely by chance, couldn't have been anything else but God. And to think that you've become quite important in my life is something I never would've expected from our first encounter. As time went by you've helped me make great strides in my life and helped make my faith in God even stronger than before. I used to pray to God to reveal to me why he put you in my life and I know it was to help me fully and completely come back to Him.

Sometimes I'm not sure if you know what a wonderful person you are or how much you actually mean to me but as long as I know you I will remind you every so often what a wonderful child of God you are. I think about you and pray for you often cause no matter what, I want you to do well in life and after. And I really hope that I've done even just a tiny bit for you as you have for me. You're absolutely lovely.


Sincerely,
D-MOBB

Do something....zombies!

I've been home for a lil less than a week and I think its time for me to kick it up a notch. BAM!! Fill out more applications, exercise more, practice my bass, and stop obsessing over women too. That's a blog for another time. So yeah...lemme go do stuff and I hope to not see zombies walking down the street in the near future.




Had a dream last night about fighting zombies....weird business......

Hope/Feelin' Bodaciousness

I'm feeling 'right' at the present moment. I'm noticing all the changes over the last year and its exciting and a lil scary. The changes I've made in my life, my home life with us trying to get back to being a cohesive unit of four (Me, Dad, Ma, & me bro) w/o killing each other in the process. Many of my peoples homes were decimated and they're at the end of their ropes. But not my granparents...they 'carry on!' all about the business. Good for them! I look up to that and i've adopted that characteristic over the years cause that's how it's always been. No matter what happens with our lives the good, bad, or ugly, we must 'carry on' cause we have lives to live. And remember above anything else (my mantra): [As long as God's there (which is constantly)] There is always hope. God bless the victims, survivors, and the ones killed from this storm.





I've been vibing off of Jazztronik lately. Maybe too much, I'm starting hum songs in my sleep...
