Soul Incredible
Everything is actually quite okay. Beyond okay... Closeness. How can I say anything but thank you and offer praise for all that is going well with me. I guess, this is what fourth an inches feels like. In football, fourth down is your team's final possession prior to turning the ball over to the other team on downs. At, "fourth and inches" going for it is a wise move, especially with the game on the line.
Going for it... My applications are in and the players are suited up for success. To my readers out there... who from a recent facebook posting are REALLY there, even if they don't make comments- I must mention to you all the song Soul Incredible by Small Eyez (w/ antonio dye), produced by Nicolay.
For a while I wasn't sure how I'd make use of this very feel-good song. But, tonight after waking up to some strange dreams, it was right there with the perfect 2:30 am vibe to keep me cool and speak to me of how well I'm doing in spite of at times being my own worst friend. I am so, incredible. we must constantly tell ourselves that. and believe it....believe me, keepin this on the humble too is not an easy task. daunting, but vital to your survival, we must constantly speak life to ourselves while maintaining the veneer of humility and child-like meekness. Somehow, it all blends perfect... at least for me, it brings peace. And how wonderful is peace?!
Have you ever tainted love with a lie? lies plant seeds of doubt and nothing good can come from such trees. you must be extraordinarily careful not to plant --seeds.
there are forces outside of you that will do their part to water and cultivate the fruit from such trees... and soon enough, that one lie has become like Kudzu... or those poisonous plants in Jumanji.
And now for an interlude:
From Jumanji (1995)
Peter Shepherd: [in horror] Judy!
Judy Shepherd: What?
Sarah Whittle: What happened?
Peter Shepherd: I thought I could end the game myself. I was only ten spaces away.
Judy Shepherd: [reading the sign on the board] 'A law of Jumanji having been broken, you will slip back even more than your token'.
Sarah Whittle: You tried to cheat?
Peter Shepherd: No, I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on twelve.
Sarah Whittle: Oh, okay, honey. Well that would be cheating.
Judy Shepherd: [in terror] Peter, your hands! Look at your hands!
[Peter sees that he is growing monkey fur on his hands as a punishment for cheating]
There are repercussions for trying to control too many elements of this game we call, life. Taken completely seriously, we have got to be our most Incredible selves and project that energy and focus because you never know who is watching...
so, don't let the title of my last blog fool ya in the words of Robert Nesta Marley on Three little birds, "Don't worry, about a thing, cuz every little thing, gonna be alright!" Signing off for more sleep

Flawed as H-LL
Imperfection. My weaknesses define me as much as my celebrated sense of humility, meekness, and vibrancy. At this stage I equate learning and personal growth as the freshest thing in the pot. Immen, king kong and got -ish on my progress, and when we fall we learn how to leap and how to appreciate smooth footsteps. With this wisdom comes the great responsibility of mastering my glow and my shadow.
Beings of both yin and yang, light and dark, positive and negative,constructive and destructive energy must attain balance prior to mastering their chi, or life force. I have decided to, "use my powers for good," like the Wondaland Arts Society. On the lo, I'm walking with thriving giants in the PT world. As I learn to perform my job better with each incident, both positive and negative (mostly +), I've learned to maintain my face in the moment of correction.
As an extension, tough situations if viewed through an appropriate lense make you better. However, it isn't easy to embrace the changes you must personally go through in order to emerge stronger. You may get rejected, kicked while you're down, spat upon, jeered, and taunted. The manner one reacts in the heat of these situations and how one is able to evolve after this process marks growth and development. It also, opens you as a seeker of love in all situations. If you can understand the "tough" aspects of love, you may be on the way to repairing a relationship once plagued with confusion.
If you are struggling with overly-anything superiors (bosses, parents, friends, siblings, etc)... it my take time for you to appreciate the grindstone they seem to hold your face to. But, if you can weather the storm of growth, you may be able to impart grace in your leadership roles and make the process less abrasive yet, no less REAL to your students/children.
Flaws, we all have them. master and embrace yours to shine! observe flaw in others and appreciate yourself... and in wisdom try not to make someone else's flaws your own. keep traveling space cadets, time is on your side...it can get worse, but as stated, its about the growing out of struggle that defines your tomorrow...
gloriously,
I'm on that old Kanye-to-tha, "look at the valedictorian,scared of the future, while I hop in the Delorean..."
-nice!

Gettin' Up
Its like everybody knows! Two years, enough time for you to actually feel it, passing... But, the vibe has really reached more avenues than I anticipated. I've got Q-tips album on repeat and Rihanna is killin rehab.
How about everybody asking bout cha? Wanna know if we talk, the last time we walked, shit, last nite was hot... I guess I'm either too lazy or too smart to rap. whatever the case, my friends and family are bringing u up. I'm happy to have something to say. I guess it almost didn't happen. Thats what makes it real. Thoughts linger, how easy it would be to give up, or for our meeting to never have happened.
I feel truly blessed.
There is something about staying on your grind...
On mine, I managed to see you at one of the most unlikely of places. A male friend of mine believes you knew I worked there... I guess I'm okay with that. Really? I'm mean imagine that... But, back in my Honda, I'm trippin twice cuz you might be hurt; seriously. I enjoyed our little time hangin out. "Do you want some water?" lol Your face said everything. That's right. Cough, and I'm offering a bottle. Sneeze and I'm passing the kleenex. Gold. We really should look out for one another. How much of the world really looks out for you? My whole goal is to help make people feel better from a mechanical and chemical perspective. I pursue physical therapy happily.
So, where am I? Applications are out early.
I currently work as a technician for "the nation's foremost provider of outpatient rehabilitation..." The clinic director is a world renown PT of jaw/oral/and neck conditions. I'm one of two who runs the front office. At this stage I'm learning the business of physical therapy. One day I'd like to have my own facility, serving the needs of unreached people. Much like my last job at the Atlanta Human Performance Center, I want to provide service to all people with special consideration for those who've been overlooked by the health care system. We all could use a lil healing, sometime.
And with that - turn on some marvin gaye and let it ride... so far to go, but its not about me. I hope to make The Black Family proud. Presidential coasters to Barack Obama! May you represent and serve us well. Us, now that's what's gettin up!

red light
turbulent tranquility
emanates from core.
pulsing branches,
leaves of absence
grasping to an echo
for dearly departed
former selves and recollections.
we picket porches on:
linger longer/
laborious laughter...
giggle glances - music makes
worlds convulse round
us.
nominated in shadowy meadows
knighted by silence
captured in most high definition
evidenced through epiphany
unfolding memories of momentary history
thriving for futures uncertainty while
karma cradles our energy
send sips of spring
lost in Sahara.
healed by your kindness
offered edges of water
to kneel by
and bathe patience quenched
in word.
part harmony of eternity
voyaging life springs
and sleepy hollows
pistol whip cracks
obama.
pray we evade
despotism.
feelings grow
soaked by
cavernous thirst
for green light
as i drive home...

qtip. the renaissance....
we here
in the midst of atlanta
the atl and the swell of
changes...
we remain abstract.
you know when its nothin but doubt around
we shout from towns
angelic sounds at the top of our lungs
believe not in me
but whats coming
hope is our drug
addicts of revolution
every day chosing
to hang hats upon heads
we're led to struggle
combat for oneLove
combat for oneLove
come back were I'm from
is that what I'm on?
check me out, then I'm gone
your chance has come
what it do when
its music.
i hope to share
beneath the sun's glare
I stare
blinded with ambition
conditions have changed
chopped and screwed
i left you
to find just how strong it was
and I want myself back
but we played for keeps
it was hardly cheap
its real costly, this time
as it gets tougher...
abstractions combat for oneLove.
