Great Odens Beard!

“Have no fear for atomic energy, none of them can stop the time.” Bob Marley

As our hero’s stand prepared to face the next challenge that arises, they spot something on the horizon. Something threatening enough to get the attention of the entire League of Justice; but what?! What is it that our hero’s saw that had them at a stand still and did they ever face it? This and more in the next episode…

Baby Look Back

1982 Porsche 928 

V8 engine, rear wheel drive, 5 speed manual transmission, and standard turbo s type braking system. In 1982 this car may have been a force to recon with but only on the open road, good luck trying to beat the Porsche 911. In races people that vote for the underdog are wise. Some feel sorry for the underdog and root for them through their compassion, while others relate to the underdog and understand that we are all underdogs at some point and time in our life and yet we make it through. So in the end it is the will of the driver that determines the outcome of the race, no matter what position he begins in or the circumstances he face along the way. If you remain as focused as you began you will come out on top.

Classics Never Die

1967 Ford Mustang  
In 1967 the curvature of the body and the other minor additions to the design played a major factor in why the consumer responded to the vehicle so well. The Shelby version, released the same year was an even bigger hit. Today the fact this you can still find owners with the vehicle in such good condition is amazing.

The Definition of Classic

1957 Type W121 Mercedes 190 Sedan

I’ve had this picture in iPhoto for a little over a week now and I’ve looked at it everyday and everyday I’d say “one day I will share you with the world.” I’ve been feeling rather bored with the current state of affairs and I am very tempted to shake up the etch a sketch but I have some things in line like skates and I need them to go according to plan so I won’t do that however I do think another road trip is on the horizon. True happiness comes from within but is only realized on the open road, far from anything that reminds you of home; living in America.

Vibration Produces Sound

Favorite Track: Alibi

The latest album from the rock band, 30 seconds to mars has been the theme song to my life for the past two weeks. I’ve listened to it when I wake up, on my way to work, at work, on my way home and right before I go to sleep. After this two week period of critically analyzing this album I deduce this album is phenomenal. Do what you must to hear it because it is definitely worth it.

Favorite Track: Traduction

The current state of the rap industry is sick, it has a lingering chest cold that could possibly progress into something more severe if the issue is not addressed sometime soon; this mixtape represents the medicine. To be completely honest with you this is the best mixtape that I have heard all year. Most of the production is so good that it feels like an album but don’t take my word for it: www.theloveinus.com

Most music is heard, these compilations are felt.

Paid The Cost

“Own boss! Own your masters, slaves, a mentality I carry with me to this very day.” Shawn Carter

America is designed in a way that money is an eminent part of survival. Having it doesn’t allow you as much as people believe that it does however not having it drastically limits you. When you move from not having it to having it, it seems like a weight has been lifted off of you shoulders hence the feeling of money granting a better life. Quite honestly money is just a tool however when living in a major city the importance of that tool is magnified. There are no natural resources, no fruit trees in the park to go pick, no wild animals to catch, kill and cook so if you wish to eat, you have to pay. I’ve come to the understanding that when Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 slavery changed it’s clothes. In it’s original form in America slave masters were of European descent in the modern form of slavery the masters are still of European descent; don’t believe me? Just take a look at the money and smile because that is your new master.

You are powerless without the money so you devise a plan to get the money, then you work hard to carry that plan out to the smallest detail and you get the money. However this is just the beginning because then you have to do it again, better than you did it the first time and each time you set your sights higher than before. Soon you even forget why you are doing this, all you know is that it must be done. Even after you get the money you are not done because you will always want more, it will never seem like enough. After you purchase what material goods you desire and pay all bills, you need more to repeat the process and you slide into a never-ending cycle.

You wanted the money so that you can have certain freedoms but the irony of it is that you have become a slave to money.

The Revelations of Ã…ten

Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt

Akenaten, Nefertiti and their children

 

1353 BC -1336 BC

- Akenaten ruled as Pharaoh of Egypt.

- Went against traditional Egyptian polytheism (many gods)

- Declared Aten (Sun God) the most powerful of all the Gods

- The first introduction of henotheism (one main God & many other supporting gods) in Egypt.

 

Sunday is really named “Sun’s Day” because its original purpose was to be a day of observation dedicated to the Sun God. Now it’s a bit easier to understand why Sunday is viewed as a religious day in most modern day religions and despite the fact that the Egyptian people weren’t too pleased with Akenaten’s new religious direction, he must have had some fans somewhere because Sunday is still viewed as a religious day, implying that Aten is the most powerful God.

The Way, The Truth & The Light

“I’m cool in my afterlife if I’m reading these chapters right” Shawn Carter

The Bible

One of the most controversial books ever written and one of the most disputed stories ever told. Scholars have been trying to come to a unified understanding about the scriptures and their correct interpretation. Most of the people that aren’t religious weren’t raised in religion. Most of those who were raised with a religious backing usually stray away but always return to their upbringing in times of need.

If you can correctly interpret the verses in the bible you would have learned the key to living: long, happy, healthy, wealthy & wise. There is only one problem. The accepted version of the bible is missing some books. The bible is the greatest story ever told and the main character in this story is Jesus Christ, however there are many years of his life missing from the bible, 18 to be exact. Those missing books are the key to understanding the connection between mind, body & soul, the earth and the universe in respect to the countless other universe, the key to the lock on our full brain ability and transcending the physical.

You already know the answers you seek; you just don’t remember that you know. What you are in search of is the right questions.

The King of The Lava

“Of course it’s the boss, Tony Danza stanza, Springsteen of sixteen’s.” Wasalu Muhammad Jaco

 

John Joseph Gotti Jr.

There once was a man that brought style to organized crime. The media gave him the name “The Dapper Don” he was never seen out of dress code, which for him meant a tailored suit. His brother Gene once asked him who got the most of his money whether it was his bookie or his tailor? Gotti replied, “I’m split right down the middle.”

 

In nature you will learn that even an animal with a bad public image like a wolf has rules and carries out day to day activities in an organized fashion.

The REAL Reason


“No revolutionary gets old or so I’m told, you get left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free; it’s just a matter of time before they try to take me.” Nasir Jones

 

John F. Kennedy

-       We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.

-       It is a system, which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines: military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

-       Its preparations are concealed, not published.

-       Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.

-       Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.

-       No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed and no secret is revealed.

-       I am not asking your newspapers to support an administration but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people.

 

So what does this mean?

Upon his inauguration the President had become aware of the existence of secret societies and just how influential they were in America at the time. It is safe to assume that he was approached about joining seeing as every President before him was a member of the order & this is how he responded. This ladies and gentlemen is why he was systematically removed by process of assassination.

 

We stand to learn so much from the human body. When you eat something that doesn’t interact well with the rest of your body you will get early signs whether you break out in a rash or the gases in your stomach start to bubble; you may even regurgitate but one thing is for sure, that article of food that isn’t cooperating with your body will be removed one way or another.

What We Talking 'Bout?


“Out in Iran the election is fixed... Teach the youth for what lies ahead; teach the truth.” Shawn Carter

 

George W. Bush Jr.

-       The idea is to help change the Middle East.

-       The main reason we went into Iraq was because we thought he had weapons of mass destruction.

-       In a part of the world that has so much resentment, so much hatred, that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens.

 

What did Iraq have to do with the attack on the World Trade Center?

-       Nothing!

-       Nobody has ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack

-       Nobody has ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th we ordered by Iraq.

 

So what are we talking about?

When people see this video and read this post they are going to say what the media has conditioned their minds to say: “Bush is an idiot”, “Bush has been lying to us all along”, etc. However think about this for a second: George Bush Jr. was the President of the United States at the time of this press conference and as the President you can no longer be viewed as anything but that. Therefore it is impossible to view anything he says or does as his own independent thoughts or actions but more as the thoughts and actions of the entire government at the time. As president he gets prepped for these press conferences meaning his team of advisors go over (give him) the answers to the questions that they think he is going to be asked.

 

Nature has a lot to offer to an observant person. You may find a bear print and know that there is a bear in the area but knowing why that bear is in the area would be much more valuable information.

“Put me anywhere on God’s green earth, I triple my worth.” Shawn Carter

 

Damon Williams

-       14 years old

-       Starting point guard for his high school basketball team.

-       Owns shares in companies across the board

-       Has already accumulated $50,000

 

I don’t know about the rest of my followers but he’s pretty much got me beat. At 14 I was concerned with a couple things: women, basketball, passing my classes & my friends. A professor told me once you’ll only be as good as your father was and at first that bothered me because my father always pushed me to be better than him but I understand what that professor was saying. You will only be as good as you know you can be. Damon’s mother used her own missteps to teach Damon the right approach to Life & Finances. I’d say he’s got the hang of it, wouldn’t you?

I Think Thoughts

I’m constantly questioned about my source of motivation and my answer is always “nature”. I understand why people wonder what inspires me but I always wonder why they themselves aren’t inspired. We all get to a point on the path of attaining knowledge where you ask yourself “what is it all worth?” and all sorts of ideas run through your mind. Will I get married? Do I want children? Where will we live? Do I want to get serious now? Is the goal that I’m aiming for even the right thing for me? These questions and so much more circle your mind and no matter how much you try to evade these thoughts they always fight their way back to the front of your mind. They pop up when you are at work, the commentator talks about it during the game, the words float in your cereal and soup until you are convinced that you are going out of your mind.

When I feel like this I turn to a natural force to think and find my peace. I think in a tree, I sleep in the clouds, I dance in the rain; I love the rain. Something as simple as walking in the park can be helpful to me but that’s just how I find my peace. We all have to find our own peace b/c this world we live in is out of balance so there is no external peace. Don’t kill yourself; just find your inner peace.

Cocktail Killer

Last night I was introduced to Polyvore by one of L.I.M’s (Laboratory Institute of Merchandising) best & in the same instance challenged to a showdown. Through Polyvore you can create sets of outfits, putting together pieces drawn from their seemingly endless library of articles of clothing beginning with nothing more than a clean slate and a Polyvore search engine. For some strange reason the young lady that challenged me felt assured that she would win; big mistake.

The way I won is simple, men get dressed for women and women get dressed for men so naturally women know what they like to see men in and men know what they like to see women in.

The Foundation

I commend all of the single parents that do everything in their power to give their child the best opportunity to succeed. I respect those that do without so that their children can have. I honor every sacrifice made so that your child can have a future that you could only dream of; however it is not enough.

Children are taught by the words, ideas and actions that they internalize. So if a child watches a family on tv consisting of: a mother, a father, a son, a daughter and a dog in a three story house he may start to wonder why he/ she doesn’t know his/ her father, mother works so much that he/ she is always with his/ her aunt, lives in a project building and the only pets the family has is the roaches that they all have become accustomed to seeing. As time goes on these thoughts don’t go away, they harbor and grow into bigger ideas. Eventually the child comes to realize that most of the images depicted on tv aren’t real therefore categorizing his/ her earliest memories of a family as fiction and internalizing his/ her own situation as reality and sadly this creates a cycle until someone breaks the chain; will it be you?

There Once Was A Man...


This is a businessman.


He will do anything necessary to protect the interest of his company. Some may not agree with his methods but that is of little or no importance to him because his methods got the necessary results. Whether it is verbally abusing the president of the major label that is backing your independent label or crashing a press conference between the heads of the companies responsible for your record companies distribution, marketing and promotion its all fair in business because your primary concern is your company; not how people feel about you. Business is a game of cutthroat with the number one rule being: “Do whatever you determine necessary to get ahead.”, so expect to be backstabbed.


It’s a real shame the way his situation with RocaFella ended but perhaps he forgot the number one rule in business.
