The Code.....

For all the times I felt that people took advantage of me, overlooked me, took my presence for granted I've found I way to collect that emotion and those lessons for a real progressive purpose......

Hitting The Refresh Button

Looking forward to tomorrow. 1st day back to business post RV Tour. With a few important calls on deck, a return to the gym and more travel to solidify it's the ideal time to reshuffle the deck and eliminate those jokers.

Make A Decision......

Let's get right to it. I'm back and I see not a lot has changed. That's cool because I'm definitely charged up and ready to make things happen with or without folks. I told myself earlier in the year that I wasn't going into the summer wasting energy on those that 100% locked in with me. In truth it's not a hard thing to do but apparently its harder for others then I would have expected. Say what mean and mean what you say. What do you stand for? What are you working towards? These are all questions I've asked before. For the first 5-6 months of the year I've watched. I've observed. Who's just talking, who's just trying to get by without putting in some work? I see it and know who is who. I'm forgiving by nature but time is rolling on and objectives have to be met. People will get left behind unfortunately. Not because I want to but because I have to.

A question was given to me to apply to those I keep in my circle. If I treated them how they treat me would they want me as their friend? It's all pretty simple yet folk make it so complex. Lapses of communication, broken agreements....if we were doing business it would be grounds to void a contract but because its friendship the b.s is cool? No, no it is not.....

Let's see who's gonna be in the mix for these 2013 Summer days :) I want everyone I care about on board but it doesnt seem like that is going to happen....

Staying Focused......

One of my biggest my personal goals for this year is to truly hold folk accountable for how they act towards me. As I gear my energy towards a number of major goals I just can't have the fickle attitudes around me. It's not a statement that I want friendships to end or anything like that but the fact is everyone doesn't deserve the same level of "ME" that I constantly give to them. It's one thing to be a busy person, I can understand that as much as anyone but it's when folk clearly have their priorities elsewhere that a change must come. The flow of energy needs to be a balanced cycle yet It's often steadily supplied by me while it gets returned in smaller random spurts from others. The true problem in this equation is ME. It's me because the folk I allow to do this are not strangers to me. I know how they are yet have always hoped adulthood would result in a change in priorities. Not so much. Age just seems to be cementing the suspect acts in place.

In the end everyone is not going to see things or do things the way I feel they should be done. Regardless of common sense, logic or just basic respect, it's important for my to remember just how different perspectives can be. So, I'm locked in on me and how I'm be doing things now. I'm looking forward to it.

When Dreams Become Plans Then a Reality

It's been defined in the creative line of my mind years ago....expressed via the digital communications of these Internets...lived out in the actions and support giving to many for the past decade. Now I take something that has been an essential part of me and made it tangible and legitimate. It's deeper that business, taxes applications and write offs. Its the evolution of me.

Back To Business

After a 2 1/2 down period from my last work assignment today is back to the grind to earn my $. After a very, tumultuous Jan I'm looking forward to getting back in the swing of things. I've been able to work on a lot of things but those plans need $ to get them off the ground. I will complete this winter season with  a renewal of energy and focus.

I'm so thankful.....

May view leaving work......

It's Been Loooong Overdue.......

I feel like a caged animal that sees the lock on my prison breaking and is about to bust loose. Too many set backs, too much questioning, not enough action. Well please believe me that that will change starting now!

Another Year of Humpington!!!!!

Welcome to the first Hump Day of 2011!! SO what's running through y'all heads today? Any plans to better embrace your spirit of physical appreciation? 

Any pleasurable acts you want to try for the 1st time? New Fantasies to create or perhaps desires that with time you've realized just aren't going to happen. I'm really curious and hopefully some folk will share.

If I have anything to say about it. 2011 will be quite a year.

Always on Time

Just as I'm starting to feel a way about this job hunt god drops something in my lap and **BOOM** I'm back in the saddle. More opportunities, more focus, the story continues. I needed a boost and this was perfectly timed.

Future Planning Vlog

Monoploy Gang! Bang Bang!....LOL

Ok y'all it's monopoly time at Mc Donalds again. And I say we need to use this technology to get over. We know they spread certain pieces all over the nation to keep the winners few and far between. So I say screw that. Communicate with your online people nation wide and get that money. I've got Pacific Ave and N.Carolina Ave, I need one more green piece. If you have it holla and I'm going 1/2 on the $50,000 with you. Let's put the internet to real use.

Monthly Plan Sept 09'

After a pretty low key weekend it's back on the grind.

Socially this week is filled with excitement for the release of 2 big Hip Hop albums Blueprint 3 and Only Built for Cuban Linx 2. Thursday night celebration for the Raekwon's album release and the weekend birthday celebrations for Bright Eyes.

In the midst of all that I prepare to set on another fitness journey. I let the closing of my old gym throw me way of course and I'm focused on recapturing my post p90x form of last Aug and in fact surpassing that level. 228lbs is a the goal.

The savings, debt reduction and credit area of my financial plans are going well. I started the year not saving anything and with 1 credit card. I'm now saving weekly and I'm knocking out dept steadily. The big issue is trying to up my income. As we all know the last part of the economy to "improve" is the job market. So I'm on the hunt for at the very least a 2nd job or quality side hustle. People keep asking me to return to the club scene but it really isn't my thing anymore. But we'll see how thing play out. To stay on course for getting my place next year that income jump is VITAL.

On the other side of business, the Omega Nexus is about to enter a new phase as the big push for that animation deal continues. Even though its been a project so many years in the making, the fact that we continue to draw interest and attention is very energizing. Plus what we planned as a 5 part saga has now expanded into 6. More Intellectual property = move value to the company.

As I mentioned last week I finally finished Tony Dungy's Autobiography. I didn't know it was so spiritually based. It's was/is very inspiring to see a man that so wholeheartedly put his life and trust in God no matter how tragic the ordeals he had to do through. Besides that aspect of things. The underlined message of "doing what you do" really hit home. People do so much that can effect you in a negative manner, but that's only if you only them to. It's on you to keep that power and decide how you will react to what position people try to place you in. Just keeping doing you because no can do you better then you can. Power in simplicity. Next book will be The Greatness Guide 2.

There's a lot happening these days but I'm here to refocus and get the job done.

P.S Please take a moment to add the Hip Hop Democrat to your blogroll. I add my writing touch to the good people over there. All support is greatly appreciated.

So who's your back plan?

During a conversation with an old friend. I was asked "who's your backup plan?" I said "Huh" and she clarified "Who do you have if you get too old and haven't gotten married or had kids yet?" I was surprised by how serious she was about that question, but before answering she tailed off into a series of complements that concluded with "You better not waste your genes." But anyway, the point of this is that I've heard this before from a few people in regardless to having an age cut-off point and a person or persons that would hypothetically be willing to get together if other things don't happen naturally.

Now I've heard this said in jest and I've heard from folks that were dead serious about it. So tell me, is this a legit concept that's out there for this generation so we don't "waste our genes?

Inspiration

I can't help but think that after no more then 2 months in office sooo many people have started scratching their heads a bit about our new President. He's not doing this, why'd he do that, etc,etc as the critics and news anchors breakdown every breath he takes, but hey that's politics right. What is really on my mind is you.....and me and us. The people, the "little guys". How many tears were shed this past election night or this past inauguration? I ask that to ask this, What have you done to step your game up. What new things have you been inspired to do? I'm just curious if we have taken what was/is a very pivotal point in history and used it to fuel our deepest wants and desires. Granted it's only been 2 months but a lot can be done in 60 days.

Life's Chess Moves

With March approaching an end I feel the need to do a quarterly review on the things I set out to achieve for this year. I'll look over old blogs, old notes and see where I stand and also look to add some things to the years game plan. I feel pretty good about it thus far. The last 1-2 weeks have put some thoughts in my head that I hope to get out either on paper or thru blogging, hopefully before the week is over. Spring is technically here so its only right to starting projecting and really being about growth and change on all levels. In the grand game of life I feel that my ability to make bigger moves has been really uplifted by the support of people around me and its really time to advance beyond the "Young man with Potential" to the "Man that fulfilled it"

Month Ending Agenda.......

Final week of Feb and I'm feeling pretty good. Not amazing but blessed to see another sun rise and ready to continuing progressing in my personal productivity. I have a few goals for this week submit my paperwork to funnel money directly into my new savings account, start laying out my march budget to make sure I don't go crazy during bday celebration time. DON'T USE THE NEW CREDIT CARD!!! I know my credit is improving as I got approved for my first new credit card is yrs. I'm keeping it as an emergency credit line. I allow $50 of monthly spending on it just to keep it active. Hmmmmm what else, finish up this last class for the HR certificate. I wanted to jump right into the next course but apparently I have to wait until June to do so. No problem I'll just use that as review time. Um I have a few books to get my hands on Steve Harvey's recent release and possibly Hill Harper's letters to a Young Brother as next months reading, pending Jillz approval.

We'll see what else I come up with today.

So it begins.........

The first full week of 2K9.It means many things for me.New budgets, reading assignments, savings, writing, p90x and overall growth. In the midst of all this I've thought on what I can do to be more efficient in these various goals. I've come to a conclusion that silence will be ally. I've noticed I spend a lot of time talking and wasting words on people. TO much free communication is given out by me, so I'll make my business not to repeat myself and hold people accountable to act and not merely talk. Show me something worth my time and attention.
