I dont know why he keeps blessing me! :: BJ The Chicago Kid ft. Kendrick Lamar :: His Pain
Daily Affirmation.
I have been away from my social network accounts (except facebook…yeah, i know) for sometime. It was truly a drawing away from the community i have built and the conenctions that i have needed to be inspired by and relationships that hold me accountable. in that space of removal i realize that i am in a dark and lonely space (why so melodramatic?!). But in that i am grateful for dear friends that know that i can vibrate higher than where i have been and charge me to be better everyday! Thank you. Introspection is the toughest journey to embark on in my opinion. Self realization in a society that constantly tries to confuse you with their standards of ____ (fill in the blank) is truly something that requires honesty, love and will! I thank God for you S H E for holding no punches and giving it to me straight lace no chase!

Truth
S H E tells me whats real. It is like S H E holds up a mirror and says my dude, look at yourself!
And i see.

I wonder what that doctor is thinking as he works on that wound!
Not sure I could do this but…. respect
I think this is the best pic ive ever seen in my life thus far.
African American doctors attempting to save the life of a Klu Klux Klan member:
This photo left me speechless, this is what respect is.
Such a powerful photo. It just goes to show that through the eyes of charity, humility, and selflessness, we realize that anyone’s life is worth saving.
I never thought this post would get so many notes. I just admire the meaning that is attached with this powerful picture.

Joker’s ‘Vision’ is Beautiful
Dubstep and I are lovers. I remember the first time I heard it, standing in a sweaty dance hall somewhere in the shady part of Hollywood and feeling the bass seep through my skin, swim through my blood and kiss my bones.
My bones, y’all. I felt that music in my bones.
Joker’s a big name in dubstep, and for good reason. His latest “The Vision” is 12 tracks strong. Check out the single of the same name in the video after the jump.

The drug war is not a failure; rather it works perfectly for its intended purposes. It generates billions of dollars for government agencies at all levels, employing millions of people. It created and supports whole industries such as drug testing, and has enhanced the drug rehabilitation industry. The drug war also protects other industries such as tobacco and alcohol, and even legal medical drug companies. It also protects the lumber and oil industries. The drug war even drives this Nation’s foreign policy. The drug war also funds gang violence at home and terrorists abroad, creating even more American jobs needed to combat these threats. The drug war also has the added benefit of conveniently side stepping Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and liberties, allowing government to control even the most intimate facets of citizen’s lives, increasing government’s control. The drug war also guarantees a ready supply of drugs for children, guaranteeing an endless supply of new participants to support the prison industry, lawyers, law enforcement, etc. The drug war also provides government the opportunity to marginalize those considered undesirable, take away their ability to vote, find employment, get an education, take their children, seize their property, etc. Who in their right mind could possibly want to do away with this cash cow, and return to a time when there was no illegal drug use in this country?
