Snow Days
Kids enjoy snow days because they get to stay home and be safe. They get to stay in bed longer and stay warm indoors. Winter’s biggest inconvenience is snowfall. No doubt about it. Slippery roads, delayed school openings and school closures. Snowplows on the move getting the snow out the way to clear the roads. Snow can easily turn to ice, which can be very problematic. People walking on sidewalks can slip and fall. There’s nothing like snows day.

Ghana 🇬🇭 @ 66
On March 6th, 1957, Ghana your beloved country was free forever. It was freed from colonial rule by the late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. He fought hard for the Gold Coast to achieve independence; total emancipation from the British colonizers. He renamed the Gold Coast to Ghana. It was declared an independent nation on March 6th, 1957. Fast forward 66 years later to March 6th, 2023 and we are remembering what he did on that very day. His achievement can never be forgotten or taken away from him.

Deep Water Regret at Water Park
There’s certain things that happen that you get yourself into. You without a shadow of a doubt put yourself in that situation. So there’s no one to blame or point fingers to but yourself. That’s the fact of life. In 2021 a lot happened to me and I will never forget it. I was exploring all in the name of fun, but knew my inability or weakness. I was in denial. Oh, what a big mistake I made. I recap on when I went to this gargantuan water park.

Birthday Month
Happy New Month to all. This is my month; the month of February. I was born on February 3rd, 1991. So I’m looking forward to my birthday on February 3rd, 2023. I’m an Aquarius, that’s my sign. I always look forward to my birthday, but sometimes it doesn’t always go the way I do it for others. I go all out when I celebrate others’ birthday. It’s my greatest joy doing it for others.

Happy Anniversary to Us
8 years of marriage, it’s been quite a journey. It’s been one hell of a roller coaster. We had our ups and downs, but in the end love conquered all. Together we stand, but if divided by now we would surely fall. We have held each other in high esteem and have weathered many storms. Through it all, our boat has sailed. We have maintained our marriage irrespective of what has come our way. We have stuck to what it says in our vows and have persisted with it. We have been adamant about staying together.

Materialistic World
Oh boy! What a world we live in/ Human life is seen as nothing without a worldly possession/ It’s even worse than going against the grain or doing what is forbidden/ Because to live without certain things like enough money will have you stressing/ Bills you need to be paid, money needs to be made/ Most people earn it only, the money that has been calculated by the powers higher than management/ That counted money that has already been allocated by the establishment/ To have a house, a car and a business is ideal, so you can feel like you made it and be affluent/ No vehicle?/ I’ll say you’ll see it through/ Life is a wrestling match, the experiences are not unbeatable/ Renting vs owning now has a huge margin, no thin line/ Cash offers have ruined the market for mortgage loans to flourish, they want someone who has cash to buy/ Interest rates now are ridiculous, they’re far too high/ Better wear designer clothes/ Because people will realize you’re fly by your wardrobe/ But that’s if you are self-conscious about dressing to impress/ Some don’t care, like myself, I just take pride in what I wear nonetheless/ But I still put on some known name brands because it’s quality & so I can look my best/ How I get around? How do you want me to respond?/ Bus, train, Lyft or Uber/ If you don’t have a car, you’re looked down upon/ It’s a necessity, no doubt, will get one in the near future/ But you can still get around without it/ But if you don’t have it, you fall into a certain category in our society like the downtrodden/ People who are either homeless and poor, or in public housing/ The homeless can’t do anything for themselves/ Their as good as dead because they need to beg people for money to eat, it doesn’t end well/ Without someone giving them some spare change, they can’t fend for themself/ Some get upset when you ignore them when they ask, or say no or say you don’t have/ It’s frustrating being broke and poor, huh?/ No kidding, money is always something you’re begging for, bruh/ You starving, so go through the garbage/ Trying to get food to eat, yeah, this life is the hardest/ No mercy for the weak, you’ll get eaten alive like a harvest/ It’s everyone for themself and God for us all/ If you can’t fend for yourself, you’re at a loss man, you’ll fall/ Who doesn’t want the finer things in life/ Jewelry, clothes, fancy cars, designer things that’s nice/ Yeezys, Jordans, diamond rings that’s bright/ We all want some kind of bling that shines like sunlight/ Nike, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana/ True Religion, Timberlands and dudes love to smoke weed, the ganja/ IPhones, smart watches, who doesn’t believe in reaping they seed and karma?/ if a man can’t provide in this world, homie is a goner/ Money ain’t a thing, Jermaine Dupri said that, it’s not supposed to be a bother/ But it is unfortunately, sorry, it’s a reminder/ Or kind of like the kente cloth that’s solely from Ghana/ Rich vs the poor, it’s a no brainer, choose, it’s like you’ll go and feed the piranhas/ Meaning the rich feed the poor the bread crumbs, it’s all about the notes, the proceeds, the dollars/ Face it, let’s be realistic/ This world’s materialistic/ It’s about earning that counted money for us that work 9 to 5/ We gotta become money makers before our time expires, keep it in mind as you strive/ Work hard, go hard and grind to live a better life/ Facts! Don’t fall off the ladder you climb, maintain the drive/ We live in a material world!

Product of Your Environment
The hood will teach you/ That to be good is evil/ Because to be bad as a crook is what Gs do/ A place where if they see you shook, you feeble/ Face it! That’s how it may look to most people/ Mad seeds will become a product of they environment/ Drug dealing, thugs chilling, they squad up & be firing/ The influence is so powerful/ It’s literally like a power-pull/ It reels you in like a fishing rod/ Kinda like Popeyes or KFC with chicken & corn on a cob/ You’re prone to be a statistic due to living conditions, it stems from the block/ You’re wishing to be far distant from the predicaments of your district, so you really need God/ Chances of being a square than high as the sky is slim, this is the odds/ Majority will smoke, sell dope & bang hoes, going by the code of no snitching while they do they job/ Listen it’s even ongoing at 57th Ave & Junction Blvd/ The hood will ultimately have you as if you stood out stripping like a thot/ You’ll be a target from the rip like a dude big pimping on a yacht/ Last thing you wanna be is a simp sticking his dick in a twot/ If you’re a product of your surroundings/ Then you have succumbed to the ills of the place you are found in/ You’re like a virgin when you’re first exposed to the street life, amped up with your heart pounding/ It’s slim to none that say they can’t be moved like mount zion, a mountain/ It’s either you in a single, multi family home or in public housing/ Every hood’s the same from Queens, Newark, East Orange to Irvington/ The hustlers supply the fiends the rock and they relapse, like satisfied customers at food joints with servings done/ Or like cashiers ringing up clothes customers wanna purchase at Burlington/ I have seen a whole lot in my early thirties son/ Lived in the Q-Borough, lived in Brick City, lived in the Crossroads of Jersey and live in Camptown/ Where you can be a product of your environment/ It’s only God that got us or else how would we stay afloat like old folks in retirement?/ Everywhere they fire led/ Everywhere they try to money order, autopay or wire rent/ Keeping up with trying to pay the entire rent/ Drinking and smoking is the norm, when bums are drunk they not a liar when they bent/ Weed is the thing in the hood, so you smell it in the hallway, it lingers like food aroma from a slob, plus / You smell it on the bus, you smell it even on the job front/ You’ll smoke it when you’ve been exposed to the ganja enough/ Your lips will turn black, that means you’ve become a product/ Trying to resist the temptation of getting pulled into that life is so unlikely/ At the age of 14 I was being called over to sling dope, chose to decline, I was fighting/ Gang violence, ambulance sirens/ Bullets flying, innocent bi-standards dying/ Cops timing, thugs on the block facing time and grinding while they stuck in fixes that are binding/ Dealing with they people flatlining in the hospitals on beds lying/ When you in the hood you need to be deciding how you will be surviving/ Fact of the matter is crime is always staring you in the eyes and letting dudes find something to take pride in/ Abandoned buildings, unsanitary neighborhoods/ Bombarded by garbage, waste is all over with street dudes we call goons that’ll take your goods/ It’s either you’re gonna overcome your circumstances or give into what keeps calling you/ The traps of the street are like mousetraps for the animal that goes squeak that be all in your room/ You can be a square and walk pass by the fellas on your block that you view as cool/ They’ll make fun of you, get all the girls, while you start high school/ You’ll be a bookworm and won’t get any pussy as food/ Then suddenly decide to one day switch up and be down with they crew/ Your parents will start to see a change in you like Nick Canon from Love Don’t Cost a Thing with what you do/ Peer pressure, conforming to your societal norms, can’t depart from it unless it’s a phase or a mood/ But it’s inevitable to go through it and that’s the truth/ So face the fact that you might be a product of your environment, but still try and fight it to the very end until you see it through/ And if not, well at least you’ll be that dude/

Funeral Tribute for My Dad
A son’s bond with his mother is a natural thing, but I’m here today to talk about my bond with my father. Sons cherish their mothers and are often called mama’s boys. Well, I was a poppa’s boy. I had a very strong bond and good relationship with my father since I was a kid in LeFrak City/Sherwood Village in Corona Queens, New York. My dad and I were the best of friends. We had a father-son relationship that was like no other that was admired by those that made us aware that they were acknowledging it.
