My Musical Obsessions Right Now

Someone messaged me wanting to know what Albums I had in my playlist that I absolutely love and can listen to on repeat without getting irritated... lol So here are a few that I listen to throughout the day some are singles and others of course are albums! If you haven't heard of some of these artists definitely check them out. 

Ticks

Let's get real for just one second. Okay? Sounds good? Thought so. We all have ticks, you know those little things that bug the hell out of us. Those things that if touched can make us EXPLODE with rage; that most of us hide and keep deep inside.

Tick..

What makes us tick? The sole purpose of some peoples being to harm others and to make my life hell is what makes me tick. The ones who don't work hard but get the world handed to them on a silver platter is what used to make me tick. Used to, for many reasons. I stopped being upset and mad at those who didn't work hard and don't have to because of mommy and daddy. I stopped being made for those people instead I felt sorry and started to pray for them. Why? Well let's face it, those who get things handed down to them with no moral work ethic applied, are the ones who will be lost later on in life. So why be upset? Not everyone has the same journey or can understand what someone else is going through. So with that said, and with that thought, I stopped. 

Ticks....

What makes you tick? Think real deep. Is it that baby daddy or mama you have? Is it that friend who you secretly don't like, or is it that job you have that hardly pays the bills but has you working harder than your body can take? I think it's safe to say that we all have things that can make is tick.... get us mad and some of those things are inevitable. Take a big person time out.... take a minute go in your room and sit in silence, no Facebook, IG or Twitter; no networking or texting. Just sit there with you and your thoughts. Breathe deep and ask yourself "what makes me tick?"

As your mind starts to process everything gather up all those things write them down and burn it. What I noticed is that we sit on things. We hibernate on these thoughts and people that piss us off just because we were hurt. Let go.. some of  you guys' problem is that you don't want to let go or don't honestly know how. You would rather hold on to that pain in hopes of that thing or person coming back and saying "sorry".  Or what I noticed you will hold onto that "tick" and use it as a cruch, an excuse for your behavior.

Don't give those ticks power..... Easier said than done, I know. One thing that set me free was writing them down and burning it.

What makes you tick?

"The days of our years are seventy or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away" - Psalm 90:10

Another Reason To Love KHart

Not only is he freaking hilarious! BUT Kevin Hart also loves to give to his city aka Philadelphia especially when it comes to the kids. Recently for those of you don't know, Philadelphia school systems are at a major low and funding (to no surprise) is not high up on the cities list.. Hart decided to give $250,000 to the Philadelphia school district for new computers. He released the news via Instagram video and Twitter earlier today :)

2013 BET Hip Hop Awards Cyphers

If your Twitter or Facebook was blowin up with the BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher praises and you missed it! Check it out below!

Fall Thoughts

As I sit back and smile I can't help but be amazed by what God has done for me and the favor he keeps showing me. I've done everything humanly possible to keep my life happy and on track and recently that involved letting go some contagious bad seeds. Do I regret it? Heck no! Making those moves to create a clear path for myself and stay focused was the best decision I have ever made.

Last night after a hard workout I got home and noticed I had some mail. First I was thinking "damn another bill?" but instead it was a royalty check from my first novel "A CROOKED SMILE"  which has been out for almost a year and still selling strong according to the check amount.

Things happen for you when you least expect it. During my moves for the past couple months to year I've cut people and changed the way I think about others and changed my attitude. I got a little closer to God, close enough to where I can hear him speak to me.

Some might not understand and those are the people I don't expect to. Just remember you are NOT meant for everyone, and everyone is not meant to be your friend :D (learn this quick and not years or decades down the line).

Between those royalty checks that keep trickling in, to me finishing up 3 more novels to something else major that will happen for me next month I can't help but smile, keep to myself and continue to work.

Using your creative mind in a way for not only trying to make money takes courage and faith. Sticking with it takes balls and faith. and believing in yourself takes...well faith... This not only applies to authors like myself, this also applies to musicians rappers singers, dancers, fashion designers, artists anything creative; this is our mind set on making our dreams come true.

I write this blog today because I was asked by my other blogging team, what moves me?

I don't aim to please people or care to have a ton of people claim to be my friends. I aim to please God and myself and my readers who love to read my blogs and my books. I aim to touch those minds that are just as creative or who want to be creatively  moved. I aim to please those who believe in me and for those who doubt to believe by show. But most importantly I aim to make a name for myself, I'm already making a trace, it's almost time to fill it in.
