Going Strait Thru the Fork in the Road
"Came To The Fork In The Road & Went Strait!!!"Okay
so i have been online all morning filling out and updating online job applications
(with everyone from countrywide and wells fargo to radio shack and borders bookstore)
Times are becoming increasingly difficult with the slide of this economy. Now I am working currently with a mortgage broker here in Oregon but I am not quite converting these leads over. It really seems that folks are practicing insane forms of thinking on the regular basis. They are continuously doing the same things over and over and expecting a different outcome each time (but hey, I gotta worry about me and mine).
So anyways,
Carrie (my significant other if u didn't already know) is battling cancer. Her last Chemo-Therapy treatment is in 2 days and I do not know if I am going to make it. I want to but things have been so tight lately I do not know if I will be available.
Regardless on if I am there physically or not. I think she knows that I have her back no matter what (and no matter where I am on this planet we call earth)
Alright
I am done venting
Gas'd Up
& Ready To Roll Full Steam Ahead Thru The Fork In The Road
Ride Wit Me Now!!!

Git-Mo Bay
Business as Usual
So last night there was some more reporting of how our handsome and charismatic President is closing camps of torture and how it is driving the far right fanatics hysterical, especially your boy Glen Beck
(who is possibly the worse of mainstream Tell-Lie-Vision Nuts & a complete idiot).
As much as I love having a President who is Black. Which shows that we must constantly Thank God for Magic Johnson, Will Smith, LL Cool J, Emmitt Smith, Jay-Z, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Dave Chapelle
(and all the other brothers who have help make middle America a little more comfortable with blacks everywhere).
We must realize that just because Pres. Obama is not allowing our nation to continuously victimize thousands of Innocent individuals with our own hands, does not mean that we are not still going to allow for other nations to do it. Which is called Rendition.
Rendition: (see article below)
The hardest part is not only are we allowing it and condoning it, but we are also backing it. We are not just supporting it by turning a blind eye to it but we also participating in it. We have law enforcement officials present and participating in torture in countries all over this globe of ours. Instead of America once again admitting its Devilish practices. We would rather play the angel, act as if we are the Innocent and confused when terrorist hit us at home.
Bottom Line...
If you continuously smack me in my mouth, Separate me by force from my family, and Demonize my culture and religion. Why are you so surprised when i decide that it has become unbearable and strike back.
Even the smallest guy in the class gets fed up with the Bully eventually and hits him in his softest place (usually below the belt). the coldest part is that when it's your child that is the smaller kid. You pat them on their head and tell them that you are glad that they decided to stand up for them Self...
Main article: Extraordinary rendition
Human rights groups charge that extraordinary rendition is a violation of Article 3[2] of the United Nations Convention Against Torture (UNCAT), because suspects are taken to countries where torture during interrogation remains common [3], thus circumventing the protections the captives would enjoy in the United States or other nations who abide by the terms of UNCAT. Its legality remains highly controversial, as the United States outlaws the use of torture, and the U.S. Constitution guarantees due process. Rendered suspects are denied due process because they are arrested without charges and deprived of legal counsel.

Missing My World
Have you ever missed a flight or missed your bus. I am feeling like that everyday lately. In 2005 I had the privilege of becoming part of the lives of two of the most wonderful spirits... Jade & Adyen.
They are the children of my ex-girlfriend in southern Cali and what I consider my children as well. Since being in Oregon over the last year, I have felt our relationship slipping and dimming. I was able to spend a week with them over the Christmas break but of course that was nowhere near enough to hold me over til summer.
I promised them when I left that I would come back and visit at minimum once every other month (if not once a month). Things drastically changed once I settled in up here in the great Northwest. As everyone knows the Economic climate turned disastrous. Air and rail travel sky-rocketed and household financial cut-backs became a mandatory monthly adjustment.
There has even been a noticeable fall-off in telephone communication. we would speak to each other at least 4 times a week and that has now dropped to once every 2 weeks if I am lucky.
Now that I have come this far in my blog, I am not even sure why I started it. I do know that I want to urge every parent or guardian to appreciate every moment they get to spend with their children.
Every Smile and Every Tear.
Every time they fell to do what you ask of them from eating all their vegetables to cleaning their room
Every Achievement from Grades to the simple things as your sons remembering to hold the door open for their mother.
You are Your Children's Biggest Influence in Life... Make The Best Impressions...

"She Said I am Dramatical"
she asked me why i am so dramatical...
i said i am dramatical because....
i believe in honor & respect...
in loyality & trust...
marriage vows and honesty over truth...
i believe i have the most fun partying when i am intoxicated and that a good wife will be like my probation officer keeping me out of trouble by giving me a curfew...
i believe in writing my poetry like my mind, heart, and soul are singing...
and to always apologize but never follow an apology with the word "but"...
i believe that there is 1 God and language confuses His name...
i believe in never buying cheap toilet paper or asking a woman her age...
and i believe that you should always wash your hands before you touch yourself to use the restroom...
i believe that America eats it's young and that hip-hop is the pinnicle of modern day American literture...
i believe that what good is a sea of words if no one is making waves...
which leads me to believe this is why drama is my middle name...

Beautiful Burbs
brown, beige, tan, grey, khaki colored cookie cutter colonial houses and condominiums with clay shingles... manicured landscapes with 3 cars in driveways... SUVs and pick-ups lifted up so high tricycles often roll beneath them... motorhomes and boats block the views of living colors from entering the domain of construction foremen and real estate agents... 2 point 4 children chillin in front video games in soccor uniforms... moms making sandwiches for play dates and dad tinkers in garages while neighbors watching with cold beers freezing palms... pizza weekends and boiled chicken salads washed down with red wine capri sun pouches... domestic 12oz bottles follow trails to speedways... blue collars building 150 thousand dollar a year salaries on 70 hour work week... distingushed elementary schools with 6 grades but only 1 class is counted... upper middle graduation class founded on the principle of Reaganomics thru higher learning... burning fossil fuels friercely and recycle aluminum and plastic like magic is gonna happen and all will be forgiven... all who just living from paycheck to paydays, paveways for early retirement... sitting in homes as 401K's increase... investment property where our parents make home become even more unaffordable... living is less affordable when we realize that american dreams are in black and white... coffee houses mass producing black and white stereotypical yuppies in construction boots and prada sandals... 7 year olds with cellphones... teenagers whipping 3-series convertible beemers and volkswagons with lifestyle decals around corners... college girls work 20 hours a week and take vacations overseas... on bended knees we pray for better dreams... begging for reality to be more than just what we see... more than just living steady financially and poor culturally... tell us there is something better... tell us we will not lose our color to this monotone suburban world... tell us we will stay sharp, vivid and bright... tell us that we can... Remain... InSane... |

Man Measured
How do u measure a man when the road to hell is paved with good intentions, questionable decisions and televisions with over 400 channels?....
When the soul battles the mind and the mind fails the test of the flesh?....
When we’re stricken with racing images of fallacy and fornication....
Our children are in the fast lane of the super information highway....
Where nothing’s forbidden except direct communication & conversation....
Hail Text messages, E-mails, Myspace and Facebook....
Elevating the look of Idiocy....
Big Pimpin & reality show hoes in lil to no clothes....
Where hidden foes hide behind flash designed advertisements for corporate capitalist, government and bank establishments… I’m asking which is worse…....
.. ..
What’s the difference between the sickness?....
Who is the lesser of 2 evils?....
Are they the mumps and I the measles?....
Keep diesel-gas guzzling so I… can get a quicker cup caffeinated South American catastrophe....
Marvel in mayhem and mass media mind control....
Expose myself to legal flesh stimulates while I stand arrogant… full of pride… fist held high… screaming, “Power To The People”....
All the while I’m Subordinate and Supporting It....
Funding the genocide on foreign faces and young American souls....
Thru my debt-controlled tax-dollars and student loans....
Big green bill folds....
Flipping thru fat faces of past presidents purchasing myself further into slavery....
Indentured servant to modern civilization....
A product of commercial replication....
I Stand…....
.. ..
Perched upon my Microsoft soap box of ignorance and self-indulgence....
Preaching meta-physical, spiritual revolution… while I got mo money on my mind....
My Energy and Time collide between freedom and the grind....
Foot on both sides of the fence I totter between enlightenment and establishment....
Poor Righteous Teacher or the house on the hill....
Picket fence or to sacrifice for others upliftment....
Struggle thru the hustle… My mental muscle can’t take it no mo....
Which way do I go....
How do I survive when I’m traveling full steam in one lane that goes both ways....
Gone is the simple days....
I Stand…....
Measuring One Man....
Forced to make the Greatest Decision of His Life Hypnotized Facing the Tell-Lie-Vision!!!
