1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay…

I used to think this was a photo of a man with the weight of the world bearing down on him. Now I see its a man holding the world up. Its not an act of servitude, its an act of love

My Grand-daddy

I have always been someone who believed that it is greater to serve your community, than to serve yourself. I have always been inspired by the legend of my great-grandfather. He was a community leader and head of the NAACP in Kingstree,SC, he was responsible for getting the mail to run through certain areas of his town,as well as getting the train to run through his town, the train is, to this day, the only major mode of transportation that comes into that town. When I visit I get inspired whenever I see a train stop. He was only 5’3” tall and very skinny, he also only had a 3rd grade education. Despite his small stature and lack of education, he still is a well remembered figure in that part of South Carolina and I am very proud to call myself a member of his family. I’ve learned from the stories about him that it does not matter the obstacle you can always be, and should always be someone who helps other. I may never end poverty in my lifetime, but I hope to make a huge dent in it. There should never be a reason why any child goes hungry or is made to feel like they are less than someone else because of a situation they live in. I hope one day that this will be a reality and this is what has always drawn me to service.

Faith

Most people believe in God without question, and they base it completely on faith without a drop of tangible evidence.However, If someone says they received a message from God, or a child believes in Santa until they are 15 or if someone has a great idea but we don’t understand it, we dismiss them and call them crazy, immature or what they believe is impossible. All these concepts are based on the same amount of fact and faith, so in 2012 when someone tells you they believe in something have a little more faith before you be the “voice of reason”.

Happy New Year to the Winners

Many people talk about how blessed they’ve been and how happy they are to be alive to see a new year, but I can’t help but feel differently. I feel like the world has continuously kicked me when I was down and as soon as I was able to get back on my feet life sucker punched me, tripped me, then kicked me in the ribs again.

 I’ve had opportunities that I let pass me by, I’ve felt like a failure, I’ve quit and in 2011 I lost continually, In 2012, it won’t be my year and it won’t be anything new unless I change me. I’m not praying for change I’m not willing to make or wishing well for myself. This year I’m done being the good guy and playing by the rules, because life fights dirty so I’m gonna start eye gouging, kicking in the groin, and pulling hair.

Many people think change is fate or divine favor but I believe it’s reward,maybe divine, maybe not but either way it’s reward. This year I’m putting it all on the line for my success. The only question I’m concerned with is will this action make me more successful if so then It’s time to work!!!! 

I never had a drop of good luck in my life but I’m gonna get what I want because I’m tired of waiting for it to be delivered because I think I work hard and deserve it. I’m gonna win even if I have to tear down the buildings of my college or skyscrapers on wall street or start punching random people in the balls I’m gonna be successful this year

Does landlessness lead to social marginalization?

So then, there must have never been a pretty liberal because obviously no one knows how to deal with a women who is intelligent, liberal, and…dare I say beautiful too, how could we liberals have such and anomaly happen with our camp? Why have men settled for these ugly women? She speaks as if we see conservative before we see pretty, obviously visually we see your looks and if she wonders why she gets funny looks when she speaks? It’s not because you conservative while being pretty, its because your beautiful while being conservative! That is too say we’re disappointed after hearing you speak!

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they’re in each other all along.

If your not first your last, gotta wake up in the morning a piss excellence

That’s deeper than most would think. Urine is the excrement of the human body, it’s the stuff the body doesn’t want, one could argue that if you are getting rid of excellence then you are dooming yourself to failure, but I would argue that in this instance not only is the body relieving itself of something it has in excess, it is also purging itself of something it is inherently made of like how the body is made up of mostly water and most of what you pee is water.
