Ghetto Gospel

The word Ghetto is a noun that refers to city slums (originated when the Jews were in concentration camps). And I want to address one thing to you ignorant people out there.

"Ghetto" cannot describe a person, it describes a place. So when you say " that's ghetto " or " your ghetto ", a person can't be a place. Then you have people calling other people "ghetto" when they've never stepped foot in a "ghetto" before. Like I always say the problem is when ignorant people decide to make their thoughts heard, but their UNAWARE and UNINFORMED.

Remember Whatever I Be On The Good God Got Me On

I've spent so much time trying to figure out life, now it's clear life isn't to be figured out. Life is to be lived.

I believe there is a reason for everything. For everyone who has ever hurt me, betrayed me, or broke my heart, I forgive them because they have helped me learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom I open my heart to.

And everything has happened to me.

Painful and unfair things, but in reflection I realize that without overcoming those obstacles I would never would realized my potential, strength, will power, or heart.

The only understanding you need of life is too understand your alive. So live your life.

Fuck Valentine's Day

 

Single awareness day! Maybe I'll throw eggs at some couples' car, thus starting a fight with the now-enraged boyfriend/husband, kiss the girl, get arrested, and finally have a great Valentine's story to share.

But really I look at each Valentines Day as the last one I will be spending alone, positive thinking! (Although me and my "friend" Jade are planning on trying some sushi spot in Hollyweird on Valentine's day.)

I'm single and not bitter

In fact I'm pretty awesome.

I'm actually really happy to be single this V-Day and be saving some money at a time period when it is good for me to do so. I understand the importance of a recognized day to celebrate your love if you have it, but it doesn't need to be a glorified hallmark holiday either.

... and if your a woman and single on valentine's day, you don't got to be alone ... I'll be your your valentine till the day ends ;)

WAR Against Ignorance

I do not hate people for religion, race, gender or political beliefs. I only hate people for ignorance. The problem is when ignorant people decide to make their thoughts heard, but their UNAWARE and UNINFORMED. For example, the darkest thing about Haiti has always been our ignorance of it.

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for ignorance.

On the other hand, most people don't know what ignorant means. They are ignorant about the definition of ignorant.

Just some food for thought.

I live in my dreams

I lay in grass, naked. I can hear birds singing, and the sun on my body, and a warm, gentle breeze. This all happened in Greece.

High on a mountain top secluded from the world. A little cabin nestled in trees, a lake and nature. Walking distance there is a cabana with four walls of white tarp, and inside is a huge bed with white sheets comforter and 20 pillows, folk music, and in the evening I stared at the moon and stars.

The next day I was chased by this robot in Toys 'R' Us in New York City.

Peace of mind, in the sort not having non-sense in my head, I don't know if that makes sense it might have been another non-sense thought.

Next week.... Phuket, Thailand

An Open Letter To A Beautiful Woman From A 'Good Man'

Hello Beautiful,

You know the one who's touch can make you 10 years younger and 10 years dumber instantly. She's beautiful inside and out, and her good sense of humor goes a long way. And I admire other things about her. Brains, for instance. Smart is sexy and often quite handy. No need to discuss her body parts because true elegance is that small dimple on a her back. Similarly, she walks around with a smile on her face that just lifts my spirits, and makes her appear so much more attractive.

Oh and let me take the time to apologize for every asshole who has ever made any of you feel marginalized, belittled, betrayed or unappreciated. I'm not afraid to apologize for my gender as a whole.

You are the rock and salvation of our people. So if it's about the need to be beautiful, maybe it's time somebody told you: You already are. You always were.

The bottom line is that you are capable of bringing out the best in us, even if a lot of men are not able to admit that. I am one of those men that look to women to enhance my life, not just decorate it. I love you for who you are and in all the ways that you are different from me. Your in my heart: Embedded.

Your Admirer,
Landre

Haitian Life

I think for the most part it's true that life does not go how you planned. Life just throws one curve ball after another and I hate baseball. As an illustration, I look at the earthquake in Haiti. One minute a classroom full of kids are learning, the next minute there all laying dead under a pile of cement. Why life? Why did they deserve to die at such a young age? They had so many dreams and aspirations but they will never be given the chance to live them out.

So many innocent life's, so unexpected, and so inhuman. I guess it's clear all men die and forever is just a minute to me. For this purpose, before my minute is up I'll make sure my story is told. It will be more than words, it will be tears and rain.

There are moments in life where you have to wonder why. Right now is one of those moments.
