Still I Study

there are no cheat sheets for Life
there are rocks and hard spots
mountain tops and the peaks of success where only the most blessed and worse cursed reside for only usually a moment in time that is never long enough
but still i study
my mistakes so i can make my way to the mountains pinnicle
walk over the plateau and peak at how the othersides lives grow green
because i must study
my own setbacks on top of setbacks
success always just seems weeks away
tomorows a new day
and since first i did not succeed
I Will Re-Group, Re-Examine & Go @ it Again!!!

Light Journey (Destination Heaven)

Light Journey (Destination Heaven)
(part-1 of 5)

Bombarded with a hundred bags
Every step more intense than the last

Luggage Large
realigned spine

I Keep It Moving

No Rest for the Weary
for the Meek shall inherit the Earth
but I am Strong
and My Destination is Heaven

Yellow Bricks
Copper Stone
and Clouds with Silver Linings
rain new growth defining the success in my journey
for My Success is the Journey
and I am Throne Worthy
Witnessing My Promise Land
Promise of a Woman
Unique and Phenomenal
Pheminine Pharaoh
holding my heart while I hold this luggage

a hundred some odd bags
breaking my back so that all i think of is the final rest
the restoration and recovery of a broken back & torn soul
the re-hydration of my hardened heart

the start of new
with my past in the rear view

this morning

i woke-up in one of the rare moments that I felt like reaching my finger tips in to my chest, pulling open my breast plate and letting my soul pour out

exposing my forever inner me

showing you how real the game can be

the honesty buried beneath a superficial flesh suit

tired of hiding behind everything the world thinks I should be

I woke-up this morning recognizing that I was in one of those rare moments

rolling over thoughts of time

witnessing time as it crawled faster than I can sprint

moving faster than the speed of sound

the speed of light

speeding over thoughts of wishing of how I can't wait to reminisce about these thoughts

and think about what brought me to this place

thinking of how an early morning text message could never begin to show my rare form i woke in this morning

Ohh Kay!!!

So I was in a conversation with a new friend and I actually realized that I am really enjoying being a positive person.

I took account of some of the things I have to be happy about in my life. I also noticed some key areas that by Most Superficial American standards I should be absolutely miserable without.

I Do Not own a House

No running car

I am Not in a Successful/Working Relationship

(no one to hold sucks but not because there are no options... just haven't found the right one yet)

&

My Job is Not the Greatest

What Does All This Mean

Absolutely Nothing

I am Happy to be Alive and enjoying the thought that everything and anything can happen tomorow

I Love My Glasses

Rose Colored Stunna Shades

Salaam Is Sober!!!

The Question Is...
How Long Will It Last?

OKAY...
let me clear some things up. I am not claiming that I will Never touch another drop of alcohol again but I am saying that my desire to become completely intoxicated have faded dramatically.

I do not know how long these feelings will last. I do know that I have gone out a couple of times since I have been back in Southern Cali less than 2 weeks now & the one time I drank made me feel like Shit.

I have to admit that it is weird going from being "The Original Drunken Master" to Mr. Sober for the most part. I am not quite sure why this is all happening. I do know that I just decided to take a 2 week sabatical from drinking that has turned into what is now becoming the thought of not drinking anymore.

Now Do Not Get Me Wrong...
I am not saying that next time you see me hanging out at one of Jah-Free's shows or the hip-hop/dance-hall/funk/jazz club, I will be completely sober. I am promising you that I will not be seeing the typical out of control elibriated fool from of the last 15 years (and i must admit it feels good). I do enjoy glass of Red Wine from time to time. I have enjoyed a Vodka & Cranberry with-in the last 2 months and more than likely the next time I go out, I will enjoy "ONE" again. The best part is that it will just be "ONE".

Hopefully this road will be a long one that feels like it only takes 10 minutes (like driving from Rancho Cucamonga to Vegas every other weekend, LoL).

OKAY...
Everyone wish me Luck & Skills
