I feel like I'm not the only one who is saying this but good riddance to 2009.I've been going back and forth in my head just how I want this piece to come out. After several revisions for fear of how it was sounding I decided to scrap it altogether and start fresh.I can't say 2009 was the best year I've ever had but it was certainly a year I will never forget. Much like other years there are ups and there are downs. This year felt like there were more downs than ups but as I sit back and reminisce on the year that was I'm not sure if that's necessarily true.But maybe that's because I am the eternal optimist.I believe that with every fall you learn to get up in a different way. And despite me falling I've managed to get up and I will continue to get up each and every time.Just shy of a month...

Wikipedia defines addiction as follows: The meaning of the word addiction in the English lexicon varies according to context. A positive addiction is a beneficial habit-where the benefits outweigh the costs. A negative addiction is a detrimental habit--where the benefits are not worth the costs. A neutral addiction is a habit in which it is not clear if the organism (or species) benefits from the activity.I'll let you decide because....I have an addiction...an addiction to:Being the absolute bestPushing myself beyond my limitsProving people wrongSucceedingLearning new thingsKicksMusicLeather jacketsLooking FlyUrban ArtNEW YORK CITYQUEENS/BROOKLYNWomenMeeting new peopleExploring new worlds and culturesFinding meaning to my world....I have an addiction...an addiction to Perfection....

Hmmmmm....sitting here trying to think of the words to say.I feel like my head is in a daze. I have a ton of things on my mind but don't know how to get it down so I'm going to freestyle my thoughts.We turned into me and her. The plural became singular and the relationship changed status. Always positive never negative is my motto so even in dark times I still see the light. Just because you love someone doesn't always mean they end up being your fairy tale ending."Ever after" always seemed so far in hindsight but I lived it as close as I could. As I said there was nothing negative but I almost feel like it would be easier that way when separation sets in and the walls around you seem to be your only friend.It hasn't been too long since it became official but it seemed a long time coming....

Lately I've been feeling a bit lost. My heads been overloaded with things that I can't seem to focus. I forget conversations I have with people, forget what I'm doing in the MIDDLE of doing it. I feel like I'm losing my damn mind. It's been a long time since I can say that I am truly happy with my life.I've been saying I'm maintaining instead of excelling. I've been saying I'm satisfied instead of saying fulfilled. And more importantly I've been saying I've seen better days than saying I'm good I'm happy.There's a number of factors that contribute to this. My job, my current status, my relationship, some of the friendships/people I associate myself with.I'll briefly break down each one for you:My Job - I HATE it. My passion is gone. My patience with everyone and everything we go through has...

So I was writing about a particular topic or blog if I should be so politically correct. But my mind starting drifting into a million other things. SO I'll just freestyle this off the dome:Breakups to MakeupsLets face it. Breakups suck.They never happen when you want it to be and they never feel good. The worst part about breaking up is having to go through the public portion of the break up. I'm not a celebrity nor do I ever plan on becoming one but us "regular folks" still get scrutinized for every aspect and decision of our lives by our peers and those we surround ourselves with.When couples break up your friends start to draw the line. It's worst when a couple starts mixing their friends and now its Team Him vs Team Her. Anyone ever see the movie The Breakup? Yea it's similar to that.I...

She has been there from the start.By the start I mean my post "irresponsible years." You know...the years after college when shit supposedly gets "real." When you go and start your career and make it as a real true adult (though I feel like I've been doing that a long time ago).But yea...she has been there from the beginning. The one that popped my cherry into this responsible adult life you can probably say haha.And she's been there ever since. And is connected to every aspect of me.Been in the game with me like a coach and a teammate.Battling in the industry with me with all the bullshit.Helping me stay focus on my business.(Editors Note: Game = Life/ Industry = Current Job Market/ Business = money, career, life goals)For however many times I put myself down, doubted myself or just was unsure...

The Best
I never asked to be on top.
But I always strive to be there.
Being on top of my game.
The top is all relevant to you.
The Top of your business. The Top of your peers. The Top of your surroundings.
It's funny when you start hearing enough people say things about you that you start to take notice of what they say.
Never been the one to really take myself so serious about what others think or perceive of me.
I know who I am and what I've contributed to the game. The game I call life I ain't never been fucked you can call me celibate.
I'm rarely out of my element cause I always keep one foot in and one foot out with a firm grip on reality.
I bring to the table what I know best from the ghetto to the Corp. I'm as intelligent as the next but I just utilize it better than most.

My Lord God,I have no idea where I am going.I do not see the road ahead of me.I cannot know for certain where it will end.Nor do I really know myself,and the fact that I think I am following Your willdoes not mean that I am actually doing so.But I believe that the desire to please Youdoes in fact please you.And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.And I know that if I do this,You will leave me by the right road,though I may know nothing about it.Therefore, I will trust you always,although I may seem to be lostand in the shadow of death.I will not fear, for You are ever with me,and You will never leave me to face my peril alone.-Thomas Mor...

It is with an objective mind endowed with a curious skepticism that we should engage in careful analysis and seek the reasons. Then, on the basis of seeing the reasons, we engender a faith that is accompanied by wisdom. - The Middle Way More on this to follow....

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,. we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are ;liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Marianne Williamson (Nelson...

Rye is Brooklyn born but lives breathes and dies for QUEENS! QB for life and I dun cur how ghetto that sounds!When Rye turned 21 his cousin Nova made him do 17 shots on the eve of his 21st. The following day he did 24 and his buddy Greg convinced him to leave his own party to no ones knowledge and take the NYC subway intoxicated. Keep in mind Greg is from Philly...so stupidRye detests these type of things...yet finds himself always succumbing into doing them. SighRye had alot anger issues growing up. Sorry Eric for that whole locker spin incident... =) Rye worked with his cousin Antonio as a Clown a few summers.......Ironically Rye is deathly scared of ClownsRye along with Joway and E-Rod formed the Dynasty sign way before Jay made it main stream...true story.
