New Year 2022 - Charge!!

People will tell you that you can't do something amazing and you're not special. The human condition is amazing you beat out every other sperm. You overcame infant mortality. Some of you have been through hell and back. So don't ever believe that you're not special. I know a lot of special people who would be missed if they weren't here who have made more impact on my life than any celebrity. 

You're one of a kind and if you're a twin you're even more special because you get to share a lifelong bond with someone that no one can take from you. You are an anomaly in everyway. We're not descendants of apes, we share similarities but you were designed to evolve, make critical choices and change the world around us. 

People have told me that I'm no one, a user, I'm never gonna amount to anything and that I shouldn't fullfil my heart's desire to be a husband and Dad. People have abused me, tried to character assassinate me, stolen from me, unfriended me, fought me, fired me, hired me, hired me back, promoted me, sent me to see my family when I couldn't get there, came to my mom's memorial, gave me amazing hugs, cards with beautiful sentiments, flowers (I cried, they were beautiful) became my friend again, loved me, watched me from a distance, and many have said you were proud of me.

Don't ever forget that you are loved and are be capable of being loved, you're special from your toes(if you can pick things up with them, awesome) to your head (I can't tie a cherry with my tongue). If you have a big heart, Keep going, you're extra special. If you're introverted or a little bit extraverted to being off your rocker, you're special. If you're quite like a mouse or Wiley like a coyote you're beautiful and no one can change you but you. 

Raise a glass 🥂 and toast to 2022 that you're a creation that is like no other.

My motto is "we are mortal men called to do more than mere mortal deeds". 

Here's to 2022 let's change some lives. Let's be legend- wait for it -dary! 🥂

Manners

Manners P’s and Q’s. We hear about do’s and don’ts. Where’s my five dollars a man screams out the bus window. The kid sending his father off to the mines,   Says look in your box. Don’t look past the future. We should name our children after gods, prophets and philosophers. Not cars, cereal or carnal pleasures. Flip flop for a second. Hold my hand. Grow old with me she says softly. Leave me alone she screams. It’s over we know. Ride free, flip the handle bars of life and pop a superman. We know some of us struggle.   Who said you get a fighting chance. Think about it   You could have been somewhere else. Today is the best time to be born. Mind your manners. You could have been snuffed out. Hold your hand out and shout. Don’t be too proud to give away those five dollars. You might need it down the road. This was just a fun poem about how life is fast and jumbled sometimes. As it being a mess, we s...

I'm the Oldest Damn It!

What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude. -Brené Brown I was told that my siblings don't want a relationship with me because I at some point said in a way that I'm the oldest and I deserve respect. When you are in your twenties you're dumb as bricks when it comes to common sense. Obviously being who I am and my DNA, I would be heated a little. I've grown up a lot since I was in my 20's. I moved to back to Syracuse to form a relationship with my biological family. It obviously didn't work because I'm the black sheep and it's okay even if it hurts my biological dad. I don't know if they all the abuse and who he was before he was their father. Now he's a 180% different man and they are lucky. I didn't get that opportunity that they were privileged with. God's power has the ability to change even the most wicked men. I'm thankful for God's grace because many instances I'd be dead. He poured out his grace and mer...

Lost Boys

Lost Boys So am I lost. When I walk around aimlessly,   To you I appear lost. I’m not you. I would never have that desire. Being chained to a wall like a yellow canary. Chirping when there is a lack of air. You suffocate me. I’ve only been lost once. When that canary died I became lost. I almost didn’t make it out. You slowly choked the life force out of me. Till swam out of your grasp. It was like breathing air for the first time. I wander because I can, Not because I’m lost. See me for who I am. Trust me it could be worse. I know who I am. Do you know who I am. I’m an entity unto all my own. I'm not sure if this is about anyone in specific but I have a feeling it's about my ex bestfriend. If it is this correlates to when I was dumped and she said I'm afraid you'll amount to nothing because you hung around him. I am my own entity and I march to my own beat through life. It also could correlate to how ...
