Law 46.

never.appear.too.perfect

Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but even more dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. Envy creates silent enemies. It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

lesson.learned.

growing up and into my young adult life, i always thought that the journey to self perfection was somewhat the journey of life. You figure out what your "problems" are, if you don't want them to be problems, you fix them, if you don't you relish in them because thats what make you YOU. i also thought that your problems shouldn't be visible to the world and everyone isn't in your business, shouldn't know your business, period {well, i still think that}. But I realized a lot last year that imperfections or chinks (sp) in the armor make others who even subconsciously know they aren't even in the same game as you, feel more connected to you. eventhough we all know that jealousy is a weak emotion, a lot of people still deal with it and just were brought up differently. -shrugs- because i wasnt concerned with being like the people that i was around and expecting to follow me at one point, i was me and fine with it. you do somewhere and sometimes need to have something or someone to relate to. being relatable as a leader is something that is paramount, apparently. your people have to like you but at the same time want to follow you because they know that whatever you're going to do, you're gonna win. you have to be able to seperate yourself as the leader or the boss but at the same time still be human to others and make people feel like you have a lot in common. its a delicate balance, man. but its something that if you can perfect it, you.win.

Well alright, okay

I've been gone, and away

For too long, a mistake

But right now, I feel awake

I'm feeling like I'm back (Just like I'm back)

Said I'm feeling like I'm back (Feel like I'm back)

I missed you too no need for arguements or fighting. Can't even use the whole "I've been busy excuse. I mean I have been busy.-cough- not.blogging. but not busy per se. Whatever -shrugs- told you I do what I want but just wanted to write these, they'll come every once in a while so enjoy. These are some of my thoughts I just wrote down on last sunday.

-I hate when people try to tell me that I "expect too much"/want too much for myself, don't you dare try and corner my dreams or lower my expectations because of your lack there of. Just had to blurt that out.

-i have a steady rotation of great new music in my CD player right now and it makes me happy, its the BP3, Trey Songz' Ready, Fabolous' Loso's Way & Maxwell's BLACKsummer's night. All great music, check em out. I need to review them on here honestly. Plus I bought all of them and I am not upset about my purchases at all with any of them. Look for the reviews whenever I can figure out how to get BP3 outta my car smh.

-i have only recently realized that my best Saturday's are the ones I spend with either friends or family just hanging out annndd I l-ve it. Just having good people who you can just hang and laugh and drink in a chill environment is really the shit lls. I used to think that my Saturdays had to be filled with clubs, bars, malls and just constant movement but I dig just sitting still. Just thought I'd share that.

-Just listened to two new singles from Wale and Drake, personally my two fave young guns coming up in Hip Hop (J. Cole is gaining ground can't front) . To say that both were impressive would be an understatement. Wale's track "Ice and Rain" takes it back to the days of real storytelling hip hop, I follow dude on Twitter too (seems like a real dude who's just tryna come up and put on for his city, I dig all that), and I really liked the song like it was D O P E to me. But he said something that I really don't know if he's capable of right now, that he has way better tracks than that and that didn't even make the album -side eye- I mean I'd l-ve to be proven wrong but come on man. Maybe I think too highly of the track but, I doubt he has 15 better ones. But, prove me wrong, please. The Drake track is called Fear, personally, I dig the new music from him because I'm sure just like everyone else I have played my So Far Gone so much to the point that EVERY track skips so to hear some new music from him was refreshing. The Lyrical content was definately there, this dude speaks on success and making it in the Game like a vet. I get the "this is it?" vibe from a lot of his tracks but find them and listen to both. Definately worthwhile.

-College Football started. I'm happy. Enough Said.

ok.i was back but i'm about to post again so bye.
