Truth is, before I even get to the meat here, is that we live in a highly competitive world. Everyone is out to get theirs and if you are in their way most of them will sell you and their momma out to get ahead. I am here to tell you though, that we can fight our way through.
The one redeeming quality I find in human beings is our ability to come together and create ways to survive. Not simply survive on this planet but thrive and dominate it. This is largely done through intimidation and force of arms, I admit, that's why I am going to show you, even you scholars how to surivie in the wide, dark and frightening world.
Rule number one, stick together. Do you have a friend? Good, make it your every effort to be the est friend you can be to that person. Are you a friend? Then do your best to weed out the negative elements in your life. This way you won't accidentally pollute the rest of your life with their poison.
Once you have a solid social base you can begin intermingling them. Invite people from every aspect of your wide social network to parties you organize. And you must never forget to make apperances at the parties your friends throw. In this way you will find elements that come together smoothly and they will associate their meeting with you. Your social network then expands and you are always invited to the parties.
Now you have a solid social network and a group of people who care enough to promote what you do and who you care enough about to promote what they do. Little at a time, together, we can build a completely new way of thinking about how we do business. Who would I trust best to take a great picture of me? The photographer I know personally. Who would I rather fuck with my dreads? The Hairdresser i sare joints with. Who would I rather illistrate my book? The Artist i know. Shit, we could all have our own business and work so closely together that once customer is cauht in the web, they are ours forever.
Keep this in mind, the others will come for us. They have to, we will be jackin' all they spots. In the dark of the night, remember that we have always been here, by your side, rockin' the mutha-fucking beat. Stay calm and don't waste bullets...we'll fight our way up out this butch.

Happy New Year
Portals; I mean doorways, like transitions, and passages; not roads but portals.
So we walk the road of life and we chop it into chunks. Like a segmented worm, or a box of Twinkies all the little cakes separated into fist sized chunks. Three-hundred and sixty- five days of toil and conflict, made into weeks of 5 days on, 2 days off. You watch as every second ticks by; the clock is always in your head, telling you that you don’t have the time. Suffering with how many months of, how many months until? Three months until my birthday, two months until Easter, Only 11 months until Christmas.
Stand back and look at it from January first and it’s a road. It’s a long road, 365 days long. And if you look at the end, from the beginning, you just might be able to see your back in the doorway that lies at the end. Look at it from where you stand and it’s no less a daunting task, but it’s no longer a long road. Instead it’s a short moment, only a moment and nothing more a portal from this moment to the next. Every moment brings us closer to the beginning of the next long road ahead. It is this day hat’s important, this hour, this minute, this very moment.
Right now we are standing at the threshold of a new year, inside rather than out, and there is an opportunity here. This year could be the best year of our lives. All it takes is remembering that the journey is made of moments, and in each of those moments we have to make the choice on how we will cross into the next. Pass through your momentary portals, make your choices and make them well. Should you find yourself, somewhere In the balmy spring afternoon sun, crying at the state of your life you can still have the best year of your life, if you make other choices. Choose to be happy. Make your resolutions if you find it a necessary ritual, but don’t loose sight of the goal…this is the best year of our lives and we are going to live every moment as if it were so.
Portals; I mean portals, like teleporters, and dimension doors; not roads but portals granting us access to every moment.
Happy-New-Year
