Gun Safety

In the US we are noticing an increased awareness about our gun rights and laws surrounding them. Personally myself, I have lost that right to carry a firearm,at least until July of this year. Now, since the Newtown, Conn. shooting, everyone is either rushing to their local arms dealer or rushing to the police about every concern regarding guns. Maybe now you are opening your eyes to the pros-cons of having it but they have been around for longer then most grandparents and greats.

I recently read an article about how a local Denny's denied police service if they had their weapons on them. Whats do you think about that? On duty, out of uniform police officers, there for our safety being asked to leave because they are carrying their service pistols. Don't you think that's a little absurd? How do you plan on relying on your law enforcement if they can't carry their weapons? This new consciousnesses about guns is starting to get out of hand.

Here is Washington state, we have an "open carry" law, as well as the right to conceal personal weapons. Recently, I believe 2004 or 2008 we approved a bill so that those card holders may not enter public places, like parks, zoos, or concerts. Now we are not only seeing that discrimination against our law abiding citizens but also our police officers.

When we lose so much faith in humanity that we can't trust those in charge, we need to make a change. We must recognize as a society where we are going with our country and provide feedback to our officials. We must stop this fear that guns are ruining this country because they aren't its the lack of education, lack of security, and lack of a possible future the frightens us.

Stop worrying about gun laws because the constitution covers us. As the law states: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So I urge you all to focus on what is really wrong with society. Guns are not the problem, the people behind the guns are.

Be Safe.

Happy Holidays

   I want to send out all my holiday wishes,l whether you celebrate Christmas  chanukah  quanza  or anything else you may celebrate  This is the time to think about your life and where you want to be. During this past month you should've spent it with loved ones and if you didn't you may have missed out on some good times. I know not everyone gets along with their families but during this season its good to have people around who love and care for you.

This is the time to think about what you could've done better over this last year and to start planning to be better.I see all of these New Years posts saying how they are going to change and how 2013 is that year, but what has kept you from doing better until now? I challenge all of my readers to look over this past year and think about what could've went better and how you could've contributed to the success. Please remember the ones that have fallen this year and don't forget them.

Going into this new year plan ahead. We as a country, US, need to plan ahead. We are going into yet another recession because our lawmakers are acting like kids about their money. (we all should have the same taxes no matter how much you make. Poor families shouldn't get taxed a higher percentage then the rich ones. simple as that) But we have to plan for our futures. Educate yourself. Reach out to others. Build better communities. And most importantly show each other love.

This year will be big in all of our lives. No matter what region of the Earth you live in. We have Civil wars in the Mid-East, N. Koreans blasting missiles  Russians not backing up their allies and just an overwhelming amount of hate is filling the world. I beg everyone to take that 1 extra step to make their communities better. We could see significant change in our world if we loved our neighbor as ourselves.

Also this year will test our mental abilities. We are now in a situations where we are challenging dogma. We are now where our politicians think about themselves not the people, and the people are standing up. This year be better then the last, write out some resolutions and stick to them. Remind yourself everyday that today could be my last day and do what you love to do.

Leave a legacy when you leave this Earth, just make sure that legacy is something you want to be known for. 2013 will separate the weak minded from the strong, the money lovers and people lovers. I pray you all have a safe, fun and blessed New Year.

Bullying

A couple months back, we witnessed the story of little Amanda Todd and all over our country we gave our heart to this little girl. If your don't know Amanda Todd is a little teenage girl who liked to show off her goodies online. When shit got real, she couldn't stand the pressure and moved schools yet still posting shit online. Once the problem followed her to different schools and through online bullying she felt she had no other choice but to kill herself.

Now the US is going into hysteria about this little underage model but don't you guys think, at least fora second, that maybe she brought this upon herself? I know I'll be stepping on toes about this, but it has to be said. Maybe as a society we focus on things that we tell our kids not to do yet we do them. For example, if you have a little baby girl and you tell her not to show her body and cross her legs when sitting and all that, then you go out showing your body every chance you get, what do you think she will do? Don't be mad at the little girl be mad at yourself for setting that example.

Back to bullying. This girl felt as if the bullys were around and the only escape was death. Those people who bullied her were relentless and did need to stop what they were doing. But isn't that a sad reality that we face? Growing up we see little kids speaking their mind, we usually don't likk to hear it ckuz its true so we tell them to "be nice". As they get older and into school they become more open about their opinions and will start letting people know. Again this is still not bullying. Then they get into middle and high school and suddenly that honesty turns into bullying. Maybe that's an issue you want to address to the adults rather then the children.

The kids model after what we do. If we say "don't say anything unless its something nice" then turn around and cuss someone out they will do the same. If they see you being honest and follow after your steps maybe you should teach "time and place" conversations now.

To me bullying is a load of crap. I understand I'm more comfortable with myself then others may be but to take your own life for the satisfaction of others is besides me. That story really made me feel more anger at society then the bullys themselves. They simply modeled of what their elders are teaching them.

To me those kids do deserve to be punished, ONLY BECAUSE THEIR OWN PARENTS ENCOURAGED THE BEHAVIOR. there are many instances of bullying that occurs everyday and i think we need to address the parents and not the children. the children behavior can be fixed if we learn how to stop the lying.

RIP Amanda Todd

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

I swear every time I turn around people are saying how much I will miss them when they gone or some variation of that. You know my answer to that every time? Yeah right, I ain't gonna miss you. you gonna miss me that's why you saying that.

To all those people who say this, what is your intent? What about you is so miss-able? Why should we miss you? I think the people who say this should all take a look at their lives and think about why people should miss them. I'm not saying that people aren't special and all that, but wherever we found you, I guarantee it that someone else is just like you.

And when saying this, be prepared for for the worst. Be prepared for that person to say bye and not miss you. Be prepared for the same hurt you are trying to inflict on them. Because isn't that what you're saying that for? To hurt them emotionally to where they will want you back, right? So be prepared to not be missed and find someone new.

To those who get told this (my category), what did you do to to deserve this treatment? Are you taking them for granted? What about them will you miss, if anything at all? I feel likk the people who get told this, generally don't care or mind if you walk out. Unless you are a main person in someones life we won't care that you left. In fact, we probably won't even have a hiccup in our life without you.

When being told this step back and think about what you have done to deserve this though. Its obvious this person is fed up and ready to leave, so what about you is this person tired of? What are your actions saying? do they differ from what you tell this person? You gotta take in all the facts when someone tells you this.

And if this is a person who you love and value, get right with them. Show them that yes you do miss them and want them back in your life. When dealing with people you care about, lose your pride. It will only fuck things up worse.

Its a difference between if a booty ckall tells you this or your wife. You have to know boundaries and have respect for the person. If you know that a person is easily angered over a subject don't constantly bring it up, especially if this is a person who you enjoy having conversations with. Make sense?

So in conclusion, know what you value, know your limits, know what type of people you want in your life and most importantly, keep a mutual respect. Where there's no respect, boundaries get crossed and people lose people. Either it was worth it or not, the ckhoicke is in your hands.

R.I.P. Bigg Cuzzin

Shit gets deep when people you know and love pass away. Whether from another person or natural circumstances the shit hurts like no other pain. In fact, a natural death to me, hurts more than the rest of the types. I say this because at least if that person is hurt or killed you have someone to blame. With a natural death you don't have that.

It seams likk juss last week I was out chillin on the block wit my cuzzin, talking about life and where we came from. I remember seeing my cuzzin everyday at our drug classes nd then goin to smoke right after knowing we would get tested tomorrow. LOL, unfortunatley that was our legacy together.           We would chill, smoke and talk about life except now his journey has ended. We used to talk about how he wanted his own place and how his musiq was takin off and how much he enjoyed his designing nd shit. Its crazy that he's gone now.

I don't think it really has hit me like it will but it really makes me think. What could I have done to help my ckuddie out? what should I have done? I juss wish I could've had more time wit my bigg ckuzzin. Last time I seen him we was ckhillin talking bout how we gunna stunt in 2013. Now it looks like its juss me.

I know my family is going through it too. My prayers and support like always is with my family but especially my family immediate to him. I don't know how his mom is feeling or his siblings. That is the type of shit that really makes a family break down. I know no-one caused this but its the same hurt I feel.

My prayers are with my aunt and unckle but this doesn't mean this is the end of OUR lives. We must live on. We must succeed on as well. He had a son that will remember his dad and it is up to us (his family) to show him how to live as a man and to let him remember his father's image and spirit.

RIP MONEY MARK

For ya who knows me and my family, or just think about us, all the prayer would help. Thanks.

Civil War

Civil War is in our history as a people and even more so recently. In the past 3 years we have seen the most civil violence that our world has ever seen. We have seen civil disobedience from Sudan, Lybia, Syria, and Iraq. In my religion these are the countries that border the "promised land" and I believe that is telling us all something. Its either telling us the end is near, when people from our own country, our own brothers and sisters, are fighting with each other and with actual hate. Or its telling us that we as a people are forgetting about the single most valuable thing when it comes to others: love and respect.

These civil wars are not only hurting us as a united people but also our earth and the way we think about each other. I remember when I was a kid my mom taught me if someone fucks with you, leave it be, but if they put they hands on you hit them back 10 times harder. Is this not what countries teach their citizens and soldiers? Don't cast the first stone, but if a stone hits you, fire back.

This logic is a self destructing outlook on things, especially when a problem is local enough to cause civil strife. The things that these countries fight most about is resources, money and political power. Are these things making us live day by day, yes. Everyone lives by the same rules, and poverty is everywhere however; no one keeps this in their mind. The ones in charge don't want to step down and the ones at the bottom aren't speaking up. And when speaking up they get fired on for speaking up.

Sometimes however War is needed. In situations where your leaders are conducting a mass murder or even your citizens are committing the crimes, you must stop this where it stands. My heart goes out to all of those in Pakistan Iran and Iraq who have had their leaders seeking to kill them. I strongly recommend, if your in a situation to where your leaders are killing your people off, a revolution. As Bob Marley said, "GET UP. STAND UP. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS. GET UP STAND UP. DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT"


PEOPLE IN POWER, THIS IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR COUNTRY OR THE PEOPLE THAT RESIDE IN IT.

What I suggest for these countries is to appoint leaders in every county, uncurrupt and non-paid lead leaders, because lets face it, money speaks alot more louder then brokenness  I challenge these civil war countries to not worry about class, worry about structure, community service, and support. Don't exclude certain genders from activities and please respect each person as their own person. I understand religion plays a huge part of these different views but as a friend of mines said, "Allah does not command us to be extremists. He commands us to be modest and to live a balanced life. We must be modest and functional, not be burdened beyond our means. If something debilitates us from functioning normally, question its integrity."

I believe if people lived their lives with a natural love for each other we wouldn't see these civil wars. I say this because how could you murder your brother or sister that you love so dearly just because they want the same opportunities as you. What makes you better then them and how does that really relate to this situation.

I challenge everyone to find something that you love and hold onto it. Help your neighbor. If you live in any country going through a civil war I pray for you. My heart is crying out to the people of Syria right now as they go through this. You guys will make it through, and I'm sure with all of the UN support your officials will stop bombing your homes.
