"Get Stoked" By Anacron Video directed by Zubaer Khan Video produced by Dana Anderson....Lets Play 'Where Is Precise"

This was probably one of the best days I've had all year. My manager told me about this video shoot a day before,however I had a job fair to attend. I shot right over to the video shoot as soon as I gave my resume to anyone that would take it.....lol

Anacron was cool as a fan. Zu did a masterful job editing, and Dana Anderson not only produced this video but also starred in it.

I had so much fun doing this. My video is coming soon. Let me know what you think of this. LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!

LET IT GO....BE FREE...BE HAPPY





I was listening to Mary J Blige song My Life yesterday and after loving that song and album for so many years and hearing the song itself countless times....I finally get it.


Life can be only what you make it
When youre feelin down
You should never fake it
Say whats on your mind
And youll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease

And youll be at peace with yourself
You wont really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because hell give you love

I love Mary....she helped me to open my eyes. 2009 has been AMAZING!!!! Blessings have been abundant....GOD IS GREAT!!

Forgiveness is necessary for true freedom and happiness.

"Say whats on your mind and you'll find in time that all the negative energy it would all cease"...Mary J Blige

Real life in 5....4....3...2...1..... I miss my family so much.I really want to go on a tell all rant about my life right now. The fact that I want to is a breakthrough. I am not one to share my struggles, well.. I try not to burden people with "What Im Going Through". I have shifted a bit in that thinking for two reasons.

1. Holding on to all these thoughts is holding me down like a weight.

2. I REALLY want to be HAPPY and FREE!!!!

Bitterness, wrath, anger, jealousy, envy, regret,and doubt are poison to the mind, body and soul. We have to be true to ourselves. How can you truly experience the happiness that is here for all of us if we allow these emotions to coax us away from what is rightfully ours. FREEDOM!!! HAPPINESS!!! We have been given a spirit of LOVE, POWER and A SOUND MIND!

My goodness I have made some bad decisions in the past...some days I wake up guilt ridden...angry...and full of regret. Sometimes it seems so difficult to pull myself out of that state of mind because its so easy to feel sorry for yourself.

But wait a minute....IM AWAKE!!! WORD!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!

Be grateful for life, appreciate every breath. It takes time. I know this. And I am starting right now....NOW.

A Favor For My Favor


WOW!!! A few days ago I experienced something that just left me saying WOW!!!

Let me get right to it. I created a group called "Gods Vision" on the Illinois State Black Colleagues Association site. One of the group members had a powerful experience. She has high blood pressure and has been on medication for some time now. She has been praying and working out, she made a trip to her doctor and he informed her that what ever she had been doing (praying and working out) has improved her health and he can remove her from some of the medication she is on. God is Great!!!

I was inspired by her experience and made a decision to stop smoking. I believe that when I take one step towards God he will take two steps towards me. I go to an event that same night and have a few drinks and I'm buzzing and usually when that happens I want a cigarrette. I am on my way home basically struggling with a decision. Should I buy a pack of cigarettes or should I just go home.

I rationalize that I will go to this gas station that has these butter cookies I like and buy my final pack of cigarettes. So I get to the gas station and grab two packages of cookies and ask for a pack of cigarettes. I hand the cashier my card and he swipes it..as he is doing that I place the cookies in my pocket and wait to sign my receipt. The cashier yells out that my card did not work and I say.."Lets try debit"...I punch in my code and it still comes back rejected. At this point I'm wondering what is going on.

I go home and try to check my balance online and I cant. I call customer service to hear my balance. As I am listening to the automated service I get even more frustrated because right when it says "Your balance is"...it drops the call...so I never hear the number. So finally I call to speak to a live person. Finally somebody picks up and the first thing I ask is if there is something wrong with their system.

He immediately says yes and is confused because it has never happened before. He apologizes for the inconvenience and asks that I got to a ATM to see if my card is working. He holds the line I make it to an ATM and it works.

Now here is the amazing part...The entire system shut down at the same moment I was trying to purchase my cigarettes. Now I know some of you are like "yeah right"...seriously I knew something like that would happen...but I did not believe it enough. I believe even more now.

I mean lets think about this....an entire system where people access their money was shut down for at least 20 minutes....

I took a step towards God when I said I would stop smoking...and he did a favor for my favor when he shut the system down....God Is Great!!!

WOW!!!!

Mark 10:27 (New International Version) 27Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Active Activism


I think its been about a week if not two since the video of Nyoil and Al Sharpton has hit the web. If you haven't see the video you can go here Nyoil and Al Sharpton The significance of this discussion should not be lost. The conversation was very necessary and opened my eyes to many misconceptions people have about Rev Al Sharpton and the movement to reclaim our communities.

NOW is the time to be ACTIVE. Nyoil has increased the Activity of PEMG through hosting his own radio show "Build Sessions" . I like that this show is solution driven. This is not a forum for bellyaching and to talk about what people are not doing. It is a opportunity to connect those who are moving toward the same goal and that is to enlighten and provide knowledge to the people.

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change.

Are you Active?....Be an Active Activist....Create Something be a part of Positive Change.

Lets Move.....



Peace

Who Run This?




Recently my buzz has been increasing and it's great to see the results of a consistent work ethic via the internet. However the one thing I need to acknowledge is that this really has nothing to do with me or what I have done when it comes to my career.

Proverbs 16:9 (New King James Version)

9 A man’s heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps


I noticed the shift in my experiences when I decided to put my trust in God. In the last few weeks I have been able to establish meaningful relationships within this industry, be in a music video, meet artists who have an impact and build with undeniable legends in Hip Hop. Part of this has to do with my plan, however the greatest influence has been my movement based on the belief that God will allow me to be present and point me in the the right direction when opportunities arise.

Music has such a powerful influence on the psyche of the masses.I understand this. This is why I have chosen to be the voice of enlightenment. I should speak my message as boldly and as deliberately as those who spread a message contrary to mine. This is not a commentary on the state of Hip Hop and how I am here to resurrect it. This is a pledge to the masses that I will continue to be the alternative to that which glorifies negativity.

God is truly directing my path. The challenge is to continue to be obedient and be in tune enough to recognize when the spirit is speaking to me.

I have no apologies for my stance because I seek the kingdom knowing all else will be added on.

I wait in anticipation for divine inspiration, knowing that when I am obedient the desires of my heart will be fulfilled.

God Runs this.

Where is your Spirit?


1 Corinthians 2:12 (New King James Version)

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.


Those of you that know me know that I have been working to get my spirit aligned properly. I've read many books and I have spoken to many people. What I have found is that in all my investigation, reading and seeking counsel, I am always led back to the bible.

In previous posts I speak about vibrations and finding the right words to keep your vibration on a high level so that you can experience your true happiness. I've tried everything, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't...at least not the way I wanted it to.

Lately I have been reading the bible and internalizing the scripture to act as a shield against any negativity...and it works..the only thing is that the closer I work to become one with the spirit the more obstacles are thrown in my way.

Just a few days ago I was close to loosing my mind. I mean that in every sense of the word. It was a day filled with despair, loss and desperation. I was beating myself up consistently about the horrible choices I have made, how I could have been a better person and how I wish I had the ability to go back a fix what I have broken. Whats messed up is that this is exactly the frame of thought that had me going crazy. I neglected the scripture, my daily prayer and thanking God for a few days and it showed. I was detached from my spirit..detached from the now worried about what has happened in the past and what can happen in the future.

The scripture above says...and I am paraphrasing...that we have not been given the spirit of the world but the Spirit of God...to know that things have been given to us FREELY from GOD!

This is what we have and in order to stay in his grace we have to stay in the word and embed it in our hearts...the word should be the constant chatter going on in our minds. The scripture or scriptures you choose to memorize and recite should serve as a reminder that we have been given the blessing and it is not separate from who we are. We only have to search as far as ourselves..our spirits.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New King James Version)

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct[a] your paths.



Now there are a few people out here reading this post who may be passing judgment and feel a particular way about what I am sharing and how it translates into my real life. Let me say this and be extremely clear...I am not perfect...my walk gets stronger everyday by the grace of God and even though you may hate me...I love you.


So...I'll keep highlighting my bible...keep earmarking the pages and find peace knowing that God has blessed us with his spirit and know that hard times are only temporary..a test of my paitience and faith. When the blessing comes everyone will know and recognize that what has been done could have only been accomplished by God.

God is Great.

A New Start...Amazing Change



It seems like there are no combination of words that can truly describe the magnitude of what just happened with respect to the inauguration of our 44th President Of The United States Barack Obama.In short all I can truly say is that this moment in time is AMAZING!!!

I had the opportunity to be in D.C. for the inauguration and the vibe was electric. I voted for President Obama and I was even at Grant Park for that celebration, however it never truly sunk in until I made it into D.C. Fresh off a twelve hour road trip we head to the capitol. Barackomania was in full force. His picture was everywhere, welcome banners posted all over the city or district..whatever D.C. is,welcoming President Obama and his family to the White House. Vendors are selling everything from Barakonaculars to Obama Pajamas...(Ojamas)...I am not lying about that...lol.

The urban radio station changed its name to Obama radio. Anybody who claims to have any type of fame was there for this moment.

I am so grateful and fortunate to be alive during this time in the history of the world. The moment President Obama was sworn in I was overcome with emotion and the reality of what was happening.

At the risk of sounding cliche I know for sure that anything is possible. This moment in time in my opinion is so much larger than America electing our first black president. This moment speaks to resilience, focus and trust in God.

I know President Obama is the new leader of the United States of America, however God runs this and it is more clear than ever before.

"Father Father"

Photobucket


The United States is the greatest country in the world and I feel so grateful to live here. What I have noticed in this time of such great change is the new commitment to family. Our President-Elect Barack Obama represents the example of of what we are moving toward when it comes to taking our families back.

I've been through a few stages in my life where I have questioned why America specifically African-Americans are in such a horrible condition. I went through my thought process and pointed fingers at the history of our country when it comes to the destruction of our families. That thought process has merit, however we have to move toward changing this situation for ourselves. We can't wait for change to happen to us we have to make it happen.

It is time to reclaim our families and make this world and this country as great as it should be. Usually I don't have too many soapbox moments but I was prompted to write this because of a song I heard from an artist by the name of NYOIL called "Father Father" on this site http://whereisdad.ning.com/. It really touched me because I am a Father and sometimes it really does get hard, but it made me realize that we have to lead the charge to rebuild our families.

Truly it is on me. I Am A Father and I Love My Family!!

The Video for this song will be launched on Jan 12th. I look forward to sharing it with you.
