Trey Songz is arguably one of the most slept on RnB artist in the game. This cat is a true grinder, that HAS TALENT!!, but enough of the chit chat - PEEP THE VIDEO.
For the past 4 to 5 weeks or so, I’ve been having many of troubles falling asleep in a healthy and timely manner. Currently my days of work and nights of rest have collided into one long marathon of sleeplessness. Surprisingly all this is relatively easy to solve if I just de-clutter my mind. Recent obstacles thrown my way which include: finances, work and relationships (I have gone through a break-up), plague my mind like rain clouds covering a beautiful sunny sky. If my mind were a physical structural entity, it would be hard to navigate through because of all the clutter lying every where, my lack of sleep is possibly because I can’t find my damn bed, which lies under all the clutter.
So what do I have to do?
First.) let’s figure out the value and importance of the clutter that we have accumulated and become accustomed to walking over, instead of picking up and putting away or maybe even throwing away.
Second.) I found it best to write down 3 categories for the issues plaguing my mind, which include KEEP, IN PROGRESS, and THROW AWAY.
Third.) take time to analyze your IN PROGRESS pile and attach a plan to the goals that you’ve set for yourself with the focus of eventually putting that in the KEEP pile.
Now I know we all operate in different ways and what may work for me, may not work for you. But as you see what I’ve done, it honestly just takes literally minutes or hours out of your life to make sure it’s a pleasant one. Please know the value of yourself is priceless, and any time dedicated to making yourself a better person should be an investment we all should partake in.
Life is chill, you’re sitting in front of your T.V. watching some cartoons or whatever it is you watch, enjoying a nice submarine sandwich or whatever it is you eat and then RING RING!! … You get a phone call from your doctor, and it goes something like this, “Mr. Pearson, we’ve ran your tests and you’re gonna die tomorrow at midnight!” (I mean, I would hope if this did happen, I’d at least get an explanation of why I was going to die, not just “you’re going to die”).
Anyway, there you go BOOM! 23:58:10 seconds into the last moments of your life, what the hell do you do now? So many things you haven’t seen, so many people you’d like to cuss out, the girl in marketing that you’ve been stalking since you started working at your job, and that’s not even the entire list. Well hey, don’t panic … I got sure list of things to consider if your life is ticking away at its last hours, minutes and seconds.
CALL OUT OF WORK! (but add a little bit of color to it)
example: Call your job and speak your mind, no time to explain why you’re not going to be in, just keep it simple and say “i’ve been stealing from the supply cabinet and employee fridge!, i’m not coming in SUCKA TRICK!, “ It doesn’t matter who picks up the sick line, just go hard!
NO TIME FOR MOPING IT’S TIME TO GET DOWN AND ROCK IT!
example: Hopefully you have close friends who you can just hang out with that willl make your last day on earth a great one. You call them repeatedly, no matter what time it is, no matter what they’re doing and meet up!
GO OUT AND JUST WILD THE HELL OUT!
example: Now at this point, explain to your friends that the actions that you want to do might involve some serious jail time and if need be, they should call their loved ones and tell them they love them deeply and might not see them again. Let the weak know they can walk away now if they’re not prepared for what’s going down, but also let them know they’re not invited to the funeral.
MAKE TIME FOR THE FAM-A-LAM
example: Your mom, dad, sister, wife, children, etc … simply spend time if they’re near, if not, tell them you love them and you’ll always be there with them.
MAKE SURE YOU POOP
example: we all know that when you die, you drop a load in your pants, so simply take a little bit of time to drain your bowels homie. That way you can go out with clean underwear, so if anything people can always remember “At least he didn’t shit his pants”.
FIN - DEATH
You don’t have to do things in that order or at all, so I guess all i’m trying to say is live life as if it were you last day on earth, because you never know when your card is going to be pulled.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die. - Amelia Burr
Well lemme say first that i’m not in any way a “hip hop blogger”, so if you read this and catch feelings you’ve been warned and shall walk off any booty hurt feelings later. I just caught wind from the hard working people over at SOHH that Mos Def called out some of the popular mainstream artists in a one on one battle. Check the Video
I’d love to see this go down, Mos will definitely rip multiple asses in each of the individuals he called out in this video. I look at this as your favorite rapper’s “rapper” putting his young’ns in check. Good stuff … Kill it MOS!
Last night while experiencing my usual A.D.D fit of focusing my attention on 80 things at once, I journeyed into deep thought about the coolness of Twitter. I signed up for Twitter last year just to see what the fuss was all about after running through articles here and there on the web, specifically those that recommended it for Internet marketing use. At first I was lost, no followers what-so-ever, none of my friends knew about it, and the most that intrigued me at the time was following MC Hammer. Afterwards though, I didn’t get it, I didn’t care, it was just another one of those “social networking sites” that you had to remember a password and username for, so ultimately I dropped it for that time being.
Fast forward roughly 8 months and now Twitter is the dopest thing in the world. My friends are now all using it, I constantly have Twitterberry open on my Blackberry Storm, my parents discuss it among themselves during casual conversation and Ashton Kutcher is beating out CNN with a million plus followers to raise awareness regarding malaria. For christ sakes, even people are up in arms about getting to watch Oprah do her first “Tweet” live on her daily talk show! All in all it’s fantastic that Twitter came about because it connects everyone rich, middle class, even poor together with one common deal, the ability to want to communicate with each other. It takes away that whole mysteriousness of your favorite celebrity or whoever you feel is “important”, by glimpsing into their everyday habits (depending on how much they update), and reminding everyone after the day is over we’re all human and no matter how big or small, we all eat, sleep, shit and now to that list you can add Tweet. Good stuff!! By the way if you read this and want to follow me i’m @theapollokid 
Security, you’d be surprised how many people know what it is, but honestly don’t apply it across the spectrum of their lives as they should. For example, I know a friend who I was setting up an FTP account for, and I guess she felt comfortable telling me what she wanted to use as a password, EVEN after I told her to type it in herself. Not only did this friend tell me what her password was, but she also told me that she “uses it for EVERYTHING”! Now you may have a geek friend or a person who you trust to do computer things for you, where your guard for complying with common sense security standards may be thrown out the window, but check it and listen up, we’re gonna flip this script just a little bit! Since we’re friends let’s take it a step further, I mean I already know your passwords, so you must be willing to let me have the keys to your house and your car? I mean, let’s just go ahead and cut to the chase and let me be you whenever I want to, so that means your social security number, your personal credit, plus the option of me sleeping with your wife (if she’s hot), is all at my disposal. I mean you trust me right? We’re friends right? Surely I’ll keep your passwords safe if you tell me, so that whole wife and house thing is nothing to you?
If you honestly don’t have a problem with any of this, holler at a brotha! Especially if you live off a beach front of some sort, drive an expensive luxury or sports car and your wife is a dime piece from Brazil.
