36 YEARS IN..
It is hard to believe it. I don’t know how to process it. Thirty six years ago, this journey, my journey of life began. The question most get asked on their birthday is quite frankly annoying, which makes me so happy, you haven’t asked me; because as I mentioned earlier, I don’t know how I am feeling? I don’t know how to deal with the reality that in four short years, I will celebrate four decades on this earth.

I Can See Clearly Now!!
👋🏾 There, It has been a minuet since we last had a chat in this way. I hope the Rona is not giving you to much grief? If no than, we are both in great company. Despite the over one million people who have been caught in her tentacles, and even worse, taken an L, I am so happy right now, I am not one of them. Yes, to answer you question, quarantine has me, like most feeling some kind of way. On one hand, I have never been so excited to be in the house. I have not been involved in political, community or just 💩💩💩 in general; BUT then its the fact, I can’t engage with the folks, or just do the things I actually do like, and what little I can do, requires I wear a face protection. May I just right here, tell you how much, I hate wearing face protection? Back in the day, when I worked on construction sites, I use to get countless reprimands for not wearing face protection. Crazy 😝😜 thing I would do was keep it close, so when the big shots showed up, I could just throw it on. AGAIN, let me answer you question, Yes I am obeying the rules? When I go out, despite my hating it, I still wear it; but because i hate it so much, It has forced me limit how much I go out, which has had me in the house these two plus months really working on me, which is what I would like to catch you up on.

Doing New Things!!!
👋🏾 There, How it going? I believe we are like what, then again let me not try to think about anything connected to mathematics, we all know that doesn’t end well for me; BUT we are now over a month into this quarantine. I think it is safe to say, the walls are somewhat starting to close in, the frustrations are beginning to rise, and more importantly the famous journey question is now being asked.. are we there yet?

7 Thoughts!!
👋🏾 There, I am sure we have room to argue that this March-May is the most popular, most active, most social part of a calendar year. At least here in most of America, These three months mark the beginning of warmer temperatures, which releases us from our hibernating state. COVID🦠19 however has decided to not just keep us in hibernation, but have forced us to make a life out of it. It is on mainly levels painful, with the remaining levels locked at extremely uncomfortable.

I Am Now Home!!
👋🏾 There, HOW IS IT GOING? ME??? Where do I begin?? The past half a decade has been to say the least a world wind. I had this cray idea💡of trying to share with the real world 🌍, the wonders I was experiencing on the World Wide Web 👨🏾💻. I attacked this journey with a few question ❓running thru my brain 🧠... Why has the world 🌍 not truly embraced this genius creation? Why are people stuck in the ways of the past? Why are they fighting change, especially when the change makes life so much easier than what they’re doing now? I can honestly say, after a five years journey, which rain thru community organizing, hangin out with political people, and countless hours of chats, and fierce confrontations, I am now just as confused 🤷🏾♂️ as I was when I first began.

What About Me??
I have never been good at expressing myself. I sometimes find it extremely hard just to formulate one sentence describing how I am feeling. Some I am certain would argue my environment is to blame; that my being forced to live in silence, my not being allowed to deal with my emotions, all contributes my lack of communication skills.

We Had Fun!!
At this moment, Right now, as I write this, we live in a completely shaken up world. A world that is overtaken by fear, that is wretched with panic, and that is drowning in a sea of depression. This world as I write is full those who are severely angry, those who have had the complete 💩💩 scared out of them, and those who are constantly speaking, yet saying absolutely nothing..

👋🏾Let’s Talk Women!!
We live in a day when women are struggling. They are fighting, tooth and nail, to prove something, to this world, and to themselves. We are living in a world, where the woman of old are looked down upon, considered as weak, second rate, hiding in the shadows of men.

All Men To Back?
I am sitting here trying to think 🤔 of a way I a thirty five year old black man could have a conversation about women. I thought what if I write this like a true journalist would? What If I removed myself from the conversation; making it all about facts. That should do it, stick to the facts, which someone can argue, accompanied by individuals some would hate. Then I thought, What If I just wrote a drawn out historical dissertation? Nah, THAT WOULD NOT WORK.. Most of, or dare I say all the my information is coming from sources I cannot prove, therefore breeding arguments, I do not wish to have. So I found myself half way thru, pausing and hitting the delete button without release. I was bored writing it, I knew you guys would get bored reading it, so why have us all bored? I know it is a crazy question no one can answer, which is why that blog is now 💩💩💩 IN MY TRASH!! But I still wanna have the conversation, So I guess I will just go from the gut.

I Was Pissed At Him!!
It has been said, politics makes strange bed fellows, which reveals all the most corrupt, stiff necked, evil, sadistic people of our society. Politics even tho it carries a huge burden, it has been a many moon since it has been the igniter of high energy, and yes even the effect of some brutal battles.
