TO THE SON I'LL NEVER HAVE...

To the son I'll probably never have.. From the man you'll never call dad. I just needed to speak my piece, Give you the advice I never had. See in this world so much can go wrong, And it's hard to see the right. The darkness in people's hearts, Can make it hard to see the light... But if nothing else believe in yourself, Make sure you always follow your heart, Even though there will be some times, When that leads to it being torn apart, And when you do experience heart break, Take it from my experience first hand, Becoming a player won't make you feel better, Sexual conquest don't make you a man. Life is what you make it,  Find your talent and embrace it, Your dreams are precious and sacred, Protect them don't let the world take it. If you make a promise try and keep it, A man has to be true to his word. Hard work and determination, Respect isn't given until it's earned. And if you ever find yourself, In a place where yo...

Our lives are our story, and in storytelling there are many different characters. What is unique about life, is that we have the opportunity to play so many different characters. To some we may be the comedic relief providing laughter and joy, or perhaps we are the voice of reason, bestowing wisdom when needed most.

And a crucial point with the heroes journey is a moment known as death and rebirth or more commonly referred to as "All is Lost". This is the moment in the journey where our hero is at their lowest point, the doom of defeat all around them. Like Neo in the Matrix, lying on the floor, shot, or the avengers in Ne...

A GENERATION OF PLAYERS....

Feels a little bit colder outside, yep a little chilly, Like growing up and realizing in the real world they never free willy. He still locked up in his tank doing tricks for fish, Funny thing is I feel like I'm doing the same shit, Stuck in this cubicle like look at me boss I did work, Looking at my paycheck like damn this what my soul worth, This why my soul hurts, walking this whole earth, Walking on this road alone until my soles hurt, Looking for love in all the right places, But tragically it's littered with all the wrong the faces, Life is a game of spades know who with play with, Cause these days players is cutting all the aces, I guess this generation ain't got no hearts, But they heavy in the clubs though, And they doing whatever they can to shine, Because the diamonds have the best glow.  Had a conversation with my father the other day and he told me, Nobody should be fifty years old and still be lonely. It reminded me of a Chris Rock joke he...
