On The Road To Recovery

Turns out I have an illness I wasn't even aware I had. The recovery process wont be easy...That much I know. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've been stagnant so long, I forgot how to move. Then this amazing long shot of an opportunity came to rest itself in my lap. The question stopped being "Can I do it?" and became "How can I do it?"
How does one manage to stay ahead of the burdensome curve called "life?" Well for one, TRY! So many of us fall victim to the fear of failed effort. Some of us are so afraid to try because we are scared the results won't be in our favor. We seem to forget its like what "they" say..."You won't know until you try!"
My adolescent best friend, we'll call him "Jeffery," has a lot to do with this decision I had to pick up my life and place it back down into a world of failure as well as triumph. Because that's what the world is. That's what the world has to offer and believe it or not but that includes EVERYONE.
Here I am driving by myself from Atlanta to Los Angeles to pursue the oh so stereotypical dream of becoming successful in the most difficult field EVER!!! Acting and stand up comedy.
I have no idea if I will be successful in this venture or if its a waste of time. But I do plan to live every moment along the way to the fullest. I don't want fame and fortune. What I do want is success? Many people do not know the difference between the two. Success to me is being able to take care of myself with the thing i love to do the most in the world is which is make people smile.Whether its getting on stage and being blinded by stage lights telling "knock-knock" jokes or turning a script into reality before your eyes. That my friends, is what I call success. I am headed in the right direction, on I-10 west bound to Los Angeles! I have no idea where the road will take me but I do know this much, I'm on the road to recovery!

Racey Hatred

So the verdict is in..."On the count of second degree murder, George Zimmerman, is found not guilty!"....wow when I heard this I was appalled. I was driving in my car listening to 106.7fm all news radio in my car. I literally pulled over because I was so shocked! I do not agree with the verdict and I think the prosecutors did the best they could with the circumstances they were given! However America, is not going to take this well! Everyone has turned this trial into a racial issue. Maybe it was maybe it wasn't, but it's not for us to decide. I don't care if Zimmerman is part Hispanic, White, blue or green; he will have to deal with this for the rest of his crappy life! Only three beings can determine what really happened that night, Trevon, George and of course the only Juror that matters, God.


Trevon is where George Zimmerman can't touch him!

I know because of this verdict, Zimmerman will not be safe, physically, financially, or emotionally for a long while. There are people out there that cannot see beyond their own hatred, anger and confusion who might try to harm Zimmerman and/or his family. That would be WRONG, because then theybwould become the very person they think Zimmerman is. Fear and hatred is a disease to the mind that can be spread from person to person. The only one who can stop it is you! Zimmerman is not out the woods yet, I'm sure there will be civil suits and probably federal suits to follow for the next few years.
This man wanted to play cops and robbers and took the life of an unarmed 17yr old boy. Whether it was racial or not, he has to deal with what he did for the rest of his life. The world will not let him forget. I don't think "justice" was served at all. But I also don't think retaliation is the answer either! I hope people do not take matters into their own hands! Especially while screaming "Justice for Trevon!" I'm sure his family doesn't want anyone using their sons name to satisfy their own vendetta!




Both of these people are children of God and only he can judge us!
