sometimes the best way to learn is to teach
imagine a negative person who is around a positive person and the negative person brings the positive person down how can this negative person see the error of their thought processes and get on the track to becoming positive, hopeful, and optimistic? what happens in mathematics when one multiplies a negative by a negative? indeed it becomes positive sometimes u have to see your negative habit in another person before u feel the need to change perhaps if u are lets say lazy, and u meet someone who is more lazy than you, then seeing this person may get u to finally come to terms with, and then defeat your lazy habits sometimes u have to experience a thing from the opposite side

one thing i've noticed is a lot of biracial people deal with a great deal of racism
my biracial cousin came to chill here for a bit and my sister's husband for some reason thought it would be ok to bash white people in front of him i think my cousin is less than half white, but still my sister's husband was saying some ignorant stuff that i felt was embarassing, beyond that.. my cousin was dating a white girl at the time i didn't understand why my sister's husband thought it would be ok to be badmouthing white people 1. at all 2. to a person he just met and 3. to a person who has some white in them ------- i know another biracial person, who is female and she looks white for the most part.. she is always telling me how white people badmouth black people in front of her like all the time and it gets on her nerves, like she doesn't understand why people badmouth a whole race ------- so what i learned from all this is that biracial people deal with the most racism its like black people think "ur on our side so i can talk bad about whites to u" and white people think "ur on our side so i can talk bad about blacks to u" and sometimes u have a biracial person who looks like one race and people show their ignorance by saying something like "i'd never be friends with a 'blank' person." all the while not knowing that the person they are telling this is in fact 50% 'blank' see, i'm black and so white people who are racist avoid me, or they talk bad behind my back, or they ignore me, or they have a certain belief about me, but with me looking and being 100% black, they don't say anything to my face what i'm saying is, biracial people have all the hate and negativity and ignorance said directly to their face, and oftentimes the people making these negative comments don't even think the biracial person should be offended, because after all "they're one of us" ------ well i have a newsflash biracial people don't have to choose sides and when u say something negative about another race to one of them, or to ANYONE all you do is show your own ignorance if u want to carry on judging people by their skin color that's fine but the truth is u will only be limiting yourself in the end goals and plans Posted by poolboyjames on July 14, 2009 at 5:36 PM comments (0)"i position myself to clock g's"
-2pac (if i die tonight) this line hit me one day, its not even the full bar but to me it said a lot "i position myself to clock g's" i position myself to make money i plan, i ready myself, i get in the correct position in order to execute and obtain a goal i imagine this is where a lot of people are they are in a stage of planning to achieve something greater this is where i feel i am like ok let me get this, then i can get that, once i get that then i can also get these.. when i have achieved these then i'll get those, etc etc being a male, oftentimes people look at u and they say u are "blank" based on what u have or what u are doing however my view is that oftentimes people are overlooked or passed off as unsuccessful people, when the truth is they are executing a plan that may take some time this is often how i see myself like i have goals and plans but because other people don't see these goals and plans, they think i have reached my potential, i feel as though nothing could be further from the truth as we all know, plants grow downward before they grow upward also success is not a dollar amount, it is a state of mind that begins with a belief mark 9:23 states "everything is possible for him who believes" st. augustine said "faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe" so when people judge me based on what they outwardly see, i know i can't sweat that because i know i can and will achieve so much more than what they expect its like tupac said in that quote, one must position theirself before achieving.. u don't wake up and have everything, you position yourself.. so faulting someone or being condescending to them because they are in the planning stages of something is a very narrow viewpoint is it not? because after all, "success or failure is often determined on the drawing board." -robert j. mckain word. new streets material Posted by poolboyjames on July 13, 2009 at 3:51 PM comments (0)just checked to see what was going on with mike skinner aka the streets
looked on youtube and found that he has a lot of new material up there the new songs posted seem to be what will make up his 2010 album "computers and blues" i'm not sure why he is posting it now, but its cool either way, and i'm sure he makes a great deal of money from his endorsements and tours, so i'm sure he can afford to post his new music so anyway, if you youtube the streets you'll no doubt run across these new songs his stuff normally takes a bunch of listens, to gather it all, but so far these new songs sound dope seem like they're better than those last 2 albums "hardest way" and "everything is borrowed" which i found to be highly disappointing just wanted to update u all about his new stuff cuz i was excited and surprised to see he posted these new tracks peaCe today on tv i saw a thing on linkin park
they said that to date, their album hybrid theory has sold over 29 million copies umm... wow? one other cool fact about that cd is there are no curse words on it i respect that sometimes i wonder.. who doesn't have a.d.d.?
i mean some people straight up don't have it (type a personalities) but i'd say type b people have it more often than not it seems like guys have a.d.d. more than women i'd say that's probably because of the history of men, men in the past going out and hunting for food while women clean or take care of a baby men were action oriented whereas women were routine oriented think of the adrenaline rush men had daily.. i think this is why when i sit in a chair at work with no food and no music it feels like complete torture, like its against who i am as a person the nature of the work is so different, if ur outside looking for an animal to kill and simultaneously tryin not to get killed by an animal its like ur mind just goes with the flow, ur focused but the circumstances change so much that its like u get used to thinking of a lot at once and a boring/devoted focus on one thing in that sense would become difficult over time women however, inside a house cooking, or cleaning, or taking care of a baby, its like task started, task completed, task started, task completed, with little to no variation or change of circumstance, so with that said, over time it would be easier to just focus on a thing and see it out even if it was madd boring, mundane and routine cuz that's what they were used to but anyway.. a.d.d. might be serious, to me its more like a personality type than a disorder, but my thing is, get a grip on yourself.. if u are disorganized, find out how to get organized, what works for u? if u can't take notes in class bring a recorder, if u can't read instruction manuals then date someone who is type A just do what u can u know? survival peaCe sometimes i write down quotes from the bible and i found these on a sheet of paper in my room today.. i look at stuff like this as gifts from God to us to learn wise conduct by reading, as opposed to having to go through an experience first
to him who has, more is given faith without works is dead the Lord does not let the righteous grow hungry the hand of the diligent makes rich wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding whoever belittles another lacks sense, but an intelligent person remains silent the hand of the diligent will rule, the lazy will be put to forced labor the timid become destitute, but the aggressive gain riches those who till their land will have plenty of food, but those who follow worthless pursuits have no sense some give freely yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due and only suffer want a generous person will be enriched, and one who gives water will get water summer Posted by poolboyjames on July 7, 2009 at 2:17 AM comments (0)just wanted to say i don't like summer, because its too hot, and i especially don't like summer in tennessee where its ultra humid
also i find it to be too bright outside also i don't like wearing shorts also i don't like insects or animals the main problem with heat is u can't escape it like in winter u can always just put on more clothing so in a way, its like if ur cold its your own fault however in summer, like i said u just can't escape the heat.. u get water, ur still hot, u take ur shirt off, ur still hot, u turn on a fan, ur still hot, u get ice cream and u cool down but u can't just sit and eat ice cream all day so its a very limited thing i just don't like summer at all.. in my room i have blinds and curtains, the blinds remain shut and the curtains remain closed because i don't want to be reminded of summer i'm like the grinch of summer i just find it to be annoying! this blog was not meant to be complaining, more like explaining, however take it as u wish ya boy had to get that off his chest peaCe daily Posted by poolboyjames on July 6, 2009 at 3:07 AM comments (0)today when looking at some of my rhymes i ran across this:
everyday i sport a halo in hell/ declinin what i'm offered, still takin it well/ associates claimin there's a hole in my head/ keep it in perspective goal up ahead/ i'm quite fond of this |
