Spend it Wisely
Basically I am an all around good guy that always fight for what I believe in. And I enjoy helping other people when they are in need and stand up for those that can't stand up for themselves. At times I can be stubborn, I dislike defeat, and I do not like to give up. I enjoy reading(mostly topics regarding many disciplines of science), robotics, And most of all thinking. And I like good intellectual challenge every once in an as well, and I am a pretty friendly person pretty much, until I get pissed off that is. I take many things in a complex manner; I believe every problem has a solution, whether it is positive and negative. I'm loyal to my friends and family, and I will go out of my way to help them with any problem that they may have. I like to think about many things involving many issues. I take much pride in my culture. I respect others just as long they respect me as well I, I have a good amount of self control, I am a mellow, understanding, and non-conforming person for the most part, even though I act outside of the box at times. But I believe we are all guilty of that crime lol, I try not to act within the norms of our current society, in order to become an individual. That is all I can think of right now, Ill type some more stuff when I think of it.
Props to those who fought for true freedom.
-peace-
We shall not always plant while others reap
The golden increment of bursting fruit,
Not always countenance, abject and mute,
That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap;
Not everlastingly while others sleep
Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute,
Not always bend to some more subtle brute;
We were not made eternally to weep.
The night whose sable breast relieves the stark
White stars is no less lovely being dark,
And there are buds that cannot bloom at all
In light, but crumple, piteous, and fall.
So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds,
And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds.
--Countee Cullen, 1926
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed -
I decided to list some contributions that African-American's have made to our society. -Peace-

Damn. sounds like you've been busy. Sorry I'm just now commenting back. lol it didn't tell me I had any new comments and I just decided to check today. I just got a new computer and its a beast. I'm runnin a play through of Crysis right now. Pretty good game. I'm also moving in with edd here in about 7 days. Looking forward to that. I'd have to see this bad boy in action for me to throw any ideas. lol kind of hard to generate a thought for something without seeing the project. That'd be pretty sweet if you wont that contest. Me, Edd and Lee were supposed to enter a Killzone 2 tournament but couldn't because we didn't have a fourth player. I was kind of angry about that. I'm layin bitches out in that game. Glad you decided to use some of those tracks. lol I'll try putting something together with that game in mind.
MIAAHHHHH!!!!!! i miss you big brutha! i work at memorial now lol i actually ran in to your brother a couple days ago there lol yeah of course i saw it i never miss the fights man lol it was actually a boring fight not going to lie. buttt if you were watching it to get reall excited then it was dissapointing, but if you were watching it from a technical standpoint then it was good. the reason it was boring was because it was to well of a thought out gameplan by both fighters and silva was just basically fucking with him the whole time anyways. he was giving him a bunch of front kicks to the knees which made me think of you lol oh yeah and guess what fight is coming up in some months.... anderson silva vs forest griffin!!!!! huh huh excited at all!? write me back big brother love ya baybeh!
well I don't get on AIM very much anymore. lol I don't even think I have it on my comp. I was wondering if something had happen. 20 somethin days off the PSN isnt right. So is everything going alright? What kind of game is it? lol you can use my tracks for it. =)
The Visionary ... :) Jus comin' thru 2 show some luv while I can. Been CRAZY busy on da music tip lately. Stay n touch... and no matter what... Keep doin ya thang aight? Happy holidays to you and yours. :)
