The Selfish Youth

To exam self u must first see flaw...
I know I'm not perfect..i never proclaim to be...
I feel that one of my biggest strengths is that i look back and examine the game film on ME..
Everyday i am the stronger ME...

When u hit the age of 18.. it is a pivotal mark in your life.. nothing truly changes you just know that or have heard that 18 is the age when you are legally considered an adult..POWER..Simply put in one word POWER..but the part of this that our youthful mind often does not pickup on is the great responsibility.. That's why it seems ppl make their biggest mistakes in there late Teens-early 20's (I have made some huge mistakes but thank God that in some situations i thought first.. how would i affect my Mom if i got caught).. factually our life experience is light.. We have selfish mindsets...We see ourselves and the picture inside of it.. but the true adult thinks about the whole picture and makes decisions accordingly.. There is a lot of instances were i myself have thought about my time and how little of it i have to allot to things that may not be important to me. BUT in the big picture the reality comes in that I have a responsibility to the multiple ppl in my life that have taken out time and allotted themselves for me in the past..
HOW can we be so selfish..
its because somewhere along the line ppl have told you..you have no real obligations or responsibilities if u have no kids..This is not true.. Cause if u knew the strength of yourself and your ancestry you know that you have the obligation to be great..to be better than your past..to walk in the same shoes of those who have been down this road before and made some since out of this thing we call life..
ITS NOT ABOUT YOU!
This life is way bigger than you...quite frankly if you were in it alone it would be a very sad and depressing one. More often do we have to look inside ourselves to find the strength to look outside ourselves..You make your family happy when you are doing the right thing..when you are fulfilling obligations..Compromise is a hard concept but it haunts us until we understand how to use it.. perceive yourself from the perceptions of those who love you..never allow anyone to hinder your dream.. but never become so engulfed in self that you cant do for the whole ..even if its something as small as listening to your parents tell you about yourself. WE have an obligation to family..to Friends and all loved ones to be unselfish and think about someone besides ourselves all the time..

   

Why the Lakers Wont Win...

I will do my best impression of Skip Bayless and let people know why The Lakers will not win...
First Let me State that I am not hating. I Agreed w/ many people when they said The Lakers would come this far...BUT now its over.. the 140 characters on Twitter did not do me justice so here it goes whether you agree or you are a Lakers fan that cannot see the truth........

The 2008 Starting Line-up For the Lakers were as followed
PG Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Lamar Odom 
PF Vladimir Radmanovic
C Pau Gasol 


The 2010 L.A. Lakers Are indeed a more talented team only based off of names though and prior history


PG Derek Fisher- Is old, probably in his final season, throughout the playoffs he has been getting exposed by better PG's starting w/ 
   Russell Westbrook-exposed that He could not guard a quick and talented young guard..he ended up having to switch with Kobe because his skills have demonised on Defence
Even his outstanding Captain-sava- 3point shot has gone down percentage wish.. this season in the playoffs
SG Kobe Bryant- Still the most dangerous player in the NBA had an outstanding season in 2008 and was an even better player than he is now..he was younger in NBA yrs.. But if he could not win it then..now with his supporting cast not as good...i think there is way less of a chance then in 2008
SF Ron Artest- Great Defender W/ horrible shot percentage all throughout the playoffs as well as poor shot selection...His contribution will not be significant enough for a winning effort
PF Pau Gasol- Will Be defended Tighter and more Physical than in the whole rest of the playoffs.. Who can match up better With Pau than Kevin Garnett..Same Height and both Athletic....The Advantage goes to KG because on the Defense of End Pau is not as good of a defender nor will he be able to guard KG's mid-range jumper...
C Andrew Bynum- Washed up before he even took off ..Andrew Bynum is the most overrated Center in the league.. he has had the potential since he has been in the league to be one of the best but has been injury prone and highly inconsistent...Paired with the Fact that he will be matched up with Kendrick Perkins physical play.. he will be rendered ineffective in this series


The Lakers Bench has not been as strong as they were in 2008 either Lamar Odom Shall be the most effective bench player 


The Celtics have had a rough season but were always looked at as one of the elite teams in the NBA


Rajon Rondo- Has been Paying like and MVP and will be named MVP of the playoffs when they end...in 2008 Rondo was a good PG who was ROOKIE..now he is a Elite PG who is 2 yrs stronger


The Celtics Bench is even better than in 2008
Nate Robinson- is a starting PG and known scorer 
Rasheed Wallace- Strong Forward who has playoff exp and is going to make a good contribution in the Finals
Glen Davis- is also Destine to be a starter someday and has been playing strong mins
Tony Allen- Has been the true definition of a role player and played quality mins 


With All This being Said the Big 3 have less of a job than they had to do in 2008... They don't have to carry a huge load this time around and the Celtics will be Celebrating another National Championship this yr Probably in 5 games


I CALLED IT!!!

Letter To a Dying Man

Women Live Longer than Men easy fact of life to understand

Black Women live significantly longer than Black Men

Being a Man is Hard!

Being a Women is Harder!

Being a Black Man is the hardest!

Not because its truly a harder life than the Black female but because we allow it to be..

Women do one thing that I believe truly gives them an advantage in this rough game of life..

Though it may be irrational and it may irritate men sometimes women allow someone to be apart of the emotions..

Women Cry!

Women talk to there friends about there problems!

Women go Through it and get over w/ the help of someone

Men keep it bottled inside

for fear of lack of understanding and ridicule men don't speak to friends about issues

for fear of judgment and pride issues men don't cry..Men don't show emotion..and don't show weakness

But we all have those same emotions and feelings inside of us..if u don't release them were do they go?

Too often do i feel that in our society Men don't speak to Men about how to get up!

Men don't speak about Lows

Men don't speak....

That Bottle has a breaking point!

Brother I really feel that you need to speak to someone!

You need to let someone in

This life is too hard to go..alone.. Females understand that

Why don't we

There is so much that is asked of a Man

and at the age of 20+ the realization comes in that I am no longer the prince

I am the prince that is transitioning into Manhood.. into wearing the crown..this task is not an easy one..

you are expected to be the bread winner

The Rock

The Decision maker

The one...when there is 1 sec left on the clock taking the final shot!

For any human being that would be a tall task to come to grasp with

but you were not raised alone...this transition does not have to be alone..there is strength n numbers

Discussions need to take place point Blank period..Black men your problems can not stay bottled in

When you don't carry the stresses of bottled up emotion it makes u stronger

(By no means am i saying go around crying,cry everyday?) <

but does it really make you less of a man to cry?

I think your Women should be your safty net when it alll becomes too much

if you are too much of a man to cry.. I understand society has made you that way but don't keep the weight of the world resting upon your shoulders.. release it somehow

Discuss issues w/ someone..they can help you on your journey..give you understanding and insight you never thought you would find.

We are to old to seek a crutch but not to old to seek wisdom and knowledge of the great ppl we meet on this long journy called life

its called using your resources wisely!

A hard headed boy does not ask questions to the wise olds instead they think they know and go on the journy blind

You can learn so much from your Father,Uncles,Mentors (etc.)

but open and honest conversations must take place..

MEN need to have CONVERSATIONS w/each other!

so much knowledge and understanding can be aquirred

With understanding stress can be lifted

we need to be there for our women..you can't do this if u let your troubles kill you..and u send to an early grave
