Dear Future Me.....




Dear future Kevin,

I know you are reading this from a lawn chair at sunset with the sound of kids or grandkids playing in the yard. I know you are probably not in the stage of life that you expected to be right now and you miss the friends that you used to know and the joy they brought you. Your body feels weaker now and you are probably few pounds heavier in the wrong places. I am guessing you quit drinking and living the high life some time ago to concentrate on whats important and your family thanks you for it. I am sure you only communicate with some members of the family and have completely ignored others at your current age and it doesn't bother you much. For this I say I am sorry, I lived the life that I was given to the best of what I thought were my abilities. I loved with a fierce flame and got put out in the cold snow and I felt I couldn't love anymore. I am sorry for the pounds on you for we were once strong and swift but now just the thought of exercise is tiring. I am sorry I didn't make you a father sooner and I hope the children have brought you enough joy to make up for my betrayal.

I am sorry for the damage I have caused our body and thank you again for changing the status quo for us to live to see the grandchildren. I am sorry for not striving to achieve more in life and I didn't work hard enough to get you the big german car or the 100 acre ranch that we always wanted but I hope what I gave you to work with is okay and the family isn't struggling. I am sorry for not dealing with my emotions and making decisions on what my heart wanted me to do. I know the heart is not so smart but I hope that is what lead you to marry the woman that you did. Sorry for wearing my heart on my sleeve like I do and I thank you even more for being a better man than I am.

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

Someone needs to shoot the DEEJAY....

Expensive drinks and high cover charges, that's the price I pay for a hassle free night in a club with great ambience. A great night to me is rated against some distinct markers. Company,  choice of beverage and location.  Company ,if it's not your usual crew, has to be put together systematically to ensure you don't end up with troublemakers but with more fun loving and well behaved people.  The choice of beverage is just dictated by location and company. House parties should have more hard liquor than beers while the club scene requires more portability with regards to cans and bottles for the more agile of this generation. The last and usually most important, location location location. What goes into a location; distance,  cost, ratio of the sexes,  neighborhood and the music. If you are already used to certain clubs then the only variable present is the sexes and music.  Unless you are bringing your own company then the ratio doesn't bother you much b...

Cold heart cash...

Money power respect, that's what we need in life. Sounds like the chorus for a song done by the lox over ten years ago right. Well it is and it does ring true everyday. Let's have a social experiment, look at where you are sitting right now reading this. I'm sitting at a coffee shop draining the free WiFi and spending the lowest amount I can on a drink. You could be sitting in a bus reading this on your way home or lounging in your living room.Anywhere we are ,we either have or wish we had the trifecta that is "MONEY POWER RESPECT". I cant teach you how to get any of the things above but i can try to look at the negative effects of the most sort out one of the three. Cold heart cash. When I look around this coffee shop today, i see a couple of people tired from work and in no hurry to get home. I see some people who just might have more money than sense and have just come here as a stop over to the next place as their party night starts up. We all ...
