Blog - #DiaryOfATiredBlackMan "Emotions"

Image
Dear Diary, After a recent stint of events its been brought to my attention that I'm an extremely emotional guy! Now I don't have a problem with it but I understand that as a male there is a strong expectation on the "machismo" that we show. When I think back as early as I can remember my sensitivity has always been there, I have a big heart and really feel pain for others. I recall the first time I went Jamaica with my family I was probably around 8 years old we stayed in the country with our native family which was an experience in its own in terms of how they lived without the luxuries we're fortunate to have. On one particular me and my cousins were told that a goat was going to be killed for dinner and we could watch. My initial response was that of feigned exasperation, maybe I was going with the excitement of everyone else but not knowing what to expect I stood by distantly. It started with the kid (baby goat) being tied at the ankles then hung from a tre

Blog - #DiaryOfATiredBlackMan "Everyone I Know Goes Away In The End"

Image
Dear Diary, Today I was in a bit of a somber mood once again after a day of long work I found my self pondering on whether to go out which would probably be an unfulfilled night. I found myself feeling sorry for myself that I'm home alone and in a sense lonely. So what do you do at that point, drink? smoke? no you turn to the main man JC... Yes that's right you break out some mood music and in this case it was the Outlaw Johnny Cash! As I listened to the appropriately titled "Hurt" the lyrics stuck out like a 3D Movie "Everyone I know, goes away in the end".. Although I have listened to this particular song so much times at this point what resonated was the correlation between what Cash sung about and my life. It got me thinking of past relationships I've had and when I say relationships that also includes platonic. Friendships that seemed to fade away into mediocrity then finally nothing. The commonality being people I cared a lot for in the past aren&

Blog - Love, Lust and Materialism

Image
I wanted to repost this awesome read I came across, "Love, Lust and Materialism" by Dr. Jumma Marri. Check it out its pretty lengthy but hey its about Love the most wonderful emotion one could feel and it really sums up a lot in a timeless subject which I think is sooo gnarley. Enjoy! - Fonz Love, lust and materialism Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. Bible True love is the greatest feelings between people who want to share everything with each other, feelings, emotions, good times bad times, material possessions, dreams and aspirations, you would jump a bullet for them, all their faults are beautiful and they feel the same way you do. Love is giving, love is being patient, love is wa

Blog - #DiaryOfATiredBlackMan "Affairs Of The Heart"

Image
Okay here we go groovemiesters, Been a while since I've put together an open blog this one I'd like to call "Affairs Of The Heart". Now I'm sure a lot of you may know from my past blogs, poems, or songs even, that I'm a pretty deep and open hearted guy and a lot of the FACTS of my relationships can be found amongst them, but for those that don't know I'll go into a quick catch up. As much as I hate the terrestrial term "ex" I haven't found or conjured up a suitable replacement term (any suggestions welcomed). See my problem with that term is it demeans the relationship you once had. Understandable in some cases but often down to miscommunication, lack of empathy, ego, fear etc you can become estranged from somebody you still care a lot about. Then down to whatever reason they are now classed as merely an "Ex". Well before I go off topic it does bode relevance as after an conversation with a friend of mine today, an issue w

Blog - Tyler Durden's 8 Rules of Innovation

Tyler Durden’s 8 Rules of Innovation I stumbled upon this article today and I thought it was brilliant and thus I am sharing it with you. The article is from Later Action which seems to be an excellent resource for business and productivity advice. - Fonz __________________________________________________________________ We all want to do remarkable things, and lead remarkable lives. No one wants to spend the day engaged in mundane productivity in pursuit of a meaningless consumer existence. Certainly not you, right? So why do we find it so hard to break out of our rut and do truly innovative things? Because it’s hard. Because it often requires us to significantly alter our perspectives and step outside our comfort zones. It’s almost like becoming another person. I Know This Because Tyler Knows This… If you haven’t seen the movie Fight Club (or read Chuck Palahniuk’s excellent novel), I won’t spoil the fantastic plot twist where we come to understand who Tyler

Image
HMMM RIGHT WARLOCKS!!! THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION TODAY AND MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN IT REMINDED ME A OF A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH A PINHEADDED FEMALE WHO SHARED SIMILAR VIEWS! NOW THIS PSYCHOLOGIST HAS COME UP WITH A STRING OF CRAZY REASONS TO BACK UP HIS "STUDY". WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE WENT IN AND SAID MORE ON THIS SUBJECT WHICH EVEN MADE THE PAPER BUT I FEEL IT IS A LATE RESPONSE SO I WILL POST A BLOG I READ IN RESPONDENCE WHICH IS GOLD. NANJALA NYABOLA! I SALUTE YOU!! Her latest article asks 'why black women are less attractive'. What will Psychology Today and the LSE do about it? On Monday, Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, published an article on his Psychology Today blog that sent shockwaves across Twitter and the blogosphere and reminded many of us of just how dangerous this kind of "science" can be. In his incendiary piece, which has since been taken down, Kanazawa discussed the scient

(Blog) The Liquidation of the Lady

Good Evening groovemiesters!! “Scarcity of self value cannot be remedied by money, recognition, affection, attention or influence." - Gary Zukav Today brought to my attention as well as well as over 5000 other people and counting, was a freestyle video ironically titled "Spit Your Game" which boasts a young (under 18) female MC who's 3 minutes are spent in a Lil Kim-esque tirade on her sexual deviance. Now I stand impartially from a place of no judgments as everyone makes there life choices, and seeing how this has become so topical it brings out an issue I've often thought about which is the liquidation of the lady! Looking at "OG Niki" what I know is there were some sound bites that got sent around on the blackberry where she braggadociosly told a friend a story of a sexual encounter she had with 6 guys I won't dry snitch names or go into detail but she isn't shy of the facts or acts she took part in. At this point there was n

Hello warlocks! With my ex's birthday soon approaching (n.b. not the aforementioned douche bag one from my previous blog), had me spending the better parts of last week looking for elaborate gifts, from personalized plaques of the poem i wrote to crystal to jewelery etc then i had a realization that like a sucker i'm still here ready to be "that guy" so to speak, not even about the money or making an impression but being a giving person especially when it comes to people i care for.. then but thinking about it again i dont want to do something that isnt fully understood or appreciated and looked at as doing the usual impressionable thing like i'm known for and have her family thinking wtf this guy is sprung lol.. ah who know but i got mad love for her still and am willing to show that but i refrained from even getting a card due to the face she may not understand it she may think im trying to win her back or im a pyscho stalker so i will continue my own path and
