You deserve better. Start demanding it.

I saw this statement online today.

I like it.


You deserve better. Start demanding it.


It's so simple, yet sometimes difficult to do. Why can we be the biggest supporters of friends and relatives, why can we pick up for causes like Terry Schiavo and vote for American Idols but we find it difficult to rally for ourselves.

How can some people devote more time to an email than they do their own resume?

Are we selfish if we put our needs above others? Is there something wrong with being selfish? I really don't know. I'm sure there's some sort of balance we're supposed to maintain. I just know sometimes we settle for shit. Sometimes we let things slide when we know we shouldn't.

You deserve better. Start demanding it.

Diggin in my crates (part I)

This is all because of FOX. He just made me look through some old stuff...where I keep the classic shit...like vinyl. Here's one circa 1999:



Why does it hurt so much (A tale of heartbreak)

My love is slip-slipping, slipping away from me
Yet I'm too dumb to see that
You don't want me
Don't want to be with me...
to sleep with me
to see me....

I call and I call and I call, setting myself up for a fall
All I can do now is think on how I'm alone (you don't phone)
I gots no one to bone

I'm on my own.

"I've got mail" but none is from you
It's like Deja Vu

Didn't this happen yesterday?

Oh yeah.....it did.

You must be.....

You must be...

Crazy if you think I'm here to make life easy for you. I'm not. I'm here to help you make your own decisions. You live your life, I'm busy trying to get mine right. Hopefully we'll get where we need to be together.

Wrong if you think you're always right. If you don't make mistakes you don't grow and learn.

Mistaken if you think you know me. If you really knew me you wouldn't have to ask about me.

Half out your mind if you think I don't see through your smoke and mirrors. I learned so much about you by watching from the sidelines that when I enter the game I already have your playbook.

You MUST be...

On another planet if you think negativity is going to be allowed into my space. In my world I am the center of the universe. I am the sun and sky and stars. I am gravity and time, north and south, alpha and omega. In my world I am supreme and I must let you into my space in order for you to affect me.

Stupid if you believe the actions you make today don't affect your loved ones. There is a cycle to life and everything comes back to one. Start off on the right foot.

Under the wrong impression if you think it's all about you...Not when I'm standing right here!

Buggin if you think I'm gonna change. I like being underestimated...it makes the results surprising.

I'm the shit.

You know who you are?
