The Truth Is

The truth shall set you free. Isn’t that something we always hear when we were growing up? Then why don’t we always practice it. We tell small white lies or we over the top and really make some stuff up. Is not telling a person what’s going on just as bad as lying? I think it is. Why do we try to cover things up with lies? What you do in the dark always come to the light. With that being said why don’t we just tell the truth? I value the opinion of three of my friends. These three people always tell me the truth about myself. From my attitude to mistakes I have made in my life. These three people no matter what, no matter how much it will piss me off will always tell me the truth. Thanks guys. And you know I would do the same for you. The other day somebody called me a liar because I promised to do something for them and I never did it. This prompted me to examine myself. Am I a liar? Yes I am. But going forward I’m going to let people know right off the bat what’s going on with the truth. Even if it hurts someone, I have to do what I have to do. I believe its all part of being authentic with you. Why should we sugarcoat things if it’s really bothering us? Just tell the truth. Get it off your chest and then you will see the true friendship you have with that person. And when someone tells you the truth about yourself you have two options. You can look yourself in the mirror and examine yourself especially if it not the first time you’re hearing it. Or you can blow that person off and lose your chance to grow as a person. I thank everybody for telling me the truth about myself. Without you guys I could not grow into the person that I am. And one last thing. Just tell the truth……………….

Oprah

I can’t say I hate the woman she definitely does her thing. Talk about going from ashy to classy. She is a definite media force. From her show to her media empire anything she touches turns to gold. She is her own entity. Just goes to show anybody can make it America. What bugs me about her is the way she comes off at times. I was watching one of her shows and they were talking about beating your kids. First off where does she come off telling people how to raise there children when she doesn’t have any of her own. Put her with a bad ass kid for a day and let’s see what she would do. Also she failed to realize that a beating didn’t mess her up. She’s one of the richest people in America. Maybe we all should have gotten beat? Next up how can she give a married couple any advice? She was never married. She and Stedman were supposed to get hitched and that never happened. I guess she didn’t want to split half her money. Anyway she can’t give her two cents about marriage because she has never been through it. But yet at 4 pm in New York a lot of women are crowded around that TV looking at her show. Her school in Africa gets me kind of mad to. She killed American kids saying that they wouldn’t appreciate that school if she built it here. I guarantee I can find 1000 children here that would love to have a chance that those children over in Africa are being afforded. We need to take care of home first. Now she has a store in Chicago where you can buy her favorite things. This is just past ridiculous. Why are women worshiping a person that’s has no touch with reality. She has her own reality. One on one can you really relate with a billionaire. One thing I can’t knock her for is her hustle. She’s like a cocaine kingpin. She just keeps giving the people what they want…………………..

Keeping It Real

What’s up people? I’m sorry for the delay. Things are crazy up here in the NYC. I’m back to my fast paced life where the action never stops. I kind of miss peaceful Houston. Well anyway since I’m up here I’m back with the people that keep it real. That saying I have heard more than a few times since I have been back. I had to sit down and examine it the other day. How are we keeping it real and who are we keeping it real with. I saw one of my boys I used to chill with. Asked me what I was up to I told him. Then I asked him. He told me the same thing he told me five years ago. But this time he was keeping it real with me. I asked him why keep it real with me and not yourself? Who am I and why do I matter in “your life”? He looked at me and shook his head and then I was labeled a sell out. All because I wasn’t keeping it real in his eyes. I peaced him out and knew that was the last time I would be speaking with him. What is keeping it real? To me it’s about providing for me child, emotionally and financially. And yes the financial part is killing me but I have to do what I have to do. It’s about advancing in my career. With all the layoffs you see happening I keep it real to myself and study new technologies and prepare myself to take my certifications. Honestly keeping it real to me is also about self fulfillment. Doing the things you want to do in life and generally enjoying life. To me that’s keeping it real. It’s not about the fly car or jewelry. It’s not about how many women I can get. It’s about me. It’s about me being true to GOD and myself. What does keeping it real mean to you?
