so often i hear and read as well as quote quotes on life fear troubles , moving on but most of the times i realie that these queotes are words to help ou become inspired to do something great to do what you didn't want to do, so i think to myself so these qhuotes helped move me or you, ...... Now what if the quotes weren't their would you be able to do the same, being the physical beings that we are if didn't have the mental/phsico support of quotes, aren't we capable of acheving whatever we diser. so lets just stop and thinkg logically. through out the existence of the human race we have been able to do anything, if you like at who we are , we are all the same bady mentally in evry which way buts its that small one percent in our dna that makes us diffetent, so now back to what we were talking about without the support of quotes or whatever it takes mentally or inside your head for you to do what you want to do i feel as though it would take support to from those around you to help you achieve the goal or get to them. You cannot do everything by yourself mentally and alone but it really comes to “hey I’m starting to do this and that” talking to those that have always been around you and you know you and know what’s going to take to achieve the things you want to do.

Martin Luther King had support from those around him. I’m sure his wife and family were some of his greatest influences. When I think about what he did or what ever he happened to do to where his name is known everywhere I think about his actions/steps it took and what propelled himi to do what he did. Yes of course the great “darkness cannot drive away darkness” quote etc. but in order to come up wit words like that you have to experience it go through, so what’s the purpose of reading some if his quotes with out have had took the steps that he took, we can not feel what ever he was feeling, but we know that as a result of what he did went thru, to this day we don’t have to suffeer from the past even thou we don’t know what it was like but only thru mouth we can know and media and try to get a taste of the bitterness that was around

BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME

.back.for.the.first.time.you might call that the title of Ludacris' first major label album. but i call it the title to my first entry as i am back for the first time. the first time since when you might ask yourself? I don't know either. But this is moi. as i call it. Just saw the Burkett thing for the 1st time since i missed the Oscars or Grammy's which ever one it was. I saw the Komparissons to Mr.Wests Actions during Ms. Swifts great moment. But I don't see why those two moments should even be compared to each other because she was also a recepient of the award. ya it sucks dude didn't give his speech but he looked like he didn't care. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

EUREKA! My Recent findings. Pt. 1

19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:19-21

Galatians is a letter that Paul wrote. In this letter he expresses why we can find justification in Jesus and not through expectations of the men. I'm living in this flesh where am i gonna get to in life? But that's where that 2:20 comes in. It says I have been crucified with Christ. When ever I look at the word "with" I see it as being together, to share. So I shared the cross with Christ, and I share the death of my sin/flesh up there up on that cross. It goes on to say it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. So if i share the cross with him. I'm am no longer here it is Him who lives in me. I don't live for men or gratify this sinful nature because i'm no long it's slave, but I am a servant. And I know that he loved me and gave himself for me. Goes on with "The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." This is not my body. I don't need the approval of man or any one but it's through faith in all I say and do.
I now live by faith alone

Tedashii Listening Party

This was the greatest night I have had in a long time it beat the Gorilla Zoe Concert in Knoxville. As you can see from the adds in before my blog it was a listening party for a hip-hop artist named Tedashii's upcoming album Identity Crisis. It was on April 22, 2009 at BB Kings in downtown Nashville. A lot of guests came through: BenJah, JR, Trip Lee, Flame, Lecrae, and Sho Baraka and of course Tedashii. So the night night started off with JR, and man he can sing. He has an R&B style to his music. I wasn’t really into his stuff, but he still gave a good performance. Afterward the crowd got wild when we started to hear the intro to a song called Joyful Noise. It was Flame! Everyone got hype and the night officially started. As he went through his songs he asked from people who can dance so several people go up there including 4 from Tech. He announced the they were going to dance to “Go Buck” our guys were happy because they had made up a dance to the song. They went ahead and performed their dance and the other dancers were actually good. One guy was tutting, which is a style of dancing, and he was holding it down for a single person. So as the 116 Clique came up, which consists of Trip Lee, Sho Barakak, and Lecrae, the party was just getting better. Lecrea did his thing on “Don’t Waste Your Life” made it worth saying I don’t wanna waste my life. After a while it was time for what we came for Tedashii to introduce tracks off his upcoming album “Identity Crisis.” My favorite song was Make War it discusses how you have to make a war against what’s not right. The whole crowd was chanting “Make War! Make War!” is he sang more tracks from the album the night ended up very great.

Toby Foyeh & Ochestra Africa

In celebration of black history month Tech invited a special guest an African band called Toby Foyeh & Ochestra Africa. That night was great just to see what other cultures have. The group was from Congo or also known as Zaire. The group had a lead singer, drummer, bass, guitarist, and backup singers. I can remember when I got there they had on their traditional clothing and they were already rocking out the stage. The audience was enjoying themselves with food and drinks. It was great to see people I know including you Mr. Andy. As the night progressed they asked audience members to come up and start dancing the lead singer and one of the backup dancer s came off the stage and started to dance one of their culture dances. The audience seemed shy at first, but as the braves one went up there it helped everyone else chill out and have fun.
The food there was average food no cultural food. I can remember talking to the Bass player after the concert he told me about their CD. They are currently trying to put some of their unknown songs on iTunes. If you enjoyed the night with Toby and his amazing band I think you should also check out Koffi Olomide great artist.

NSBE VEGAS PT.2

What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

The title of my paper is the quote people generally use so they won't share there stories. I'm a nice guy and I don't like that so I'll give you a glimpse of what happened down there. I went there with the Tennessee Tech Chapter of NSBE which stands for National Society of Black Engineers for a National Convention. At the National Convention there was collegiate members, alumini, board members and PCI ( Pre-College Initiative). When we arrived at our hotel we unpacked and had a quick chapter meeting discussing what we were here for and what was expected of us as a chapter. The next day we had a Region III meeting. Region III covers schools in the southeast, so there is big schools like Georgia Tech and The University of Florida. After the meething there was the all-day long Career Fair, International Fair & Exhibition and several workshops.
That day I invested my time by going to workshops instead of “chilling.” I went to a workshop on keeping a 4.0 GPA and Networking vs. Not Working. The Networking vs. Not Working was my favorite workshop I taught networking skills and general business etiquette. I was given game day strategies for an interview or the career fair. In the skills I picked up there was the idea of a 30 second speech. When ever you meet someone you have 30 seconds to make a lasting impression. With a 30 second speech you will introduce yourself share about yourself and give the a lasting impression that will make them like you. I also made great friends there. I don't know if there is any other freshmen at Tech who could say there were given the same oppurtunity and say they learned from it.
Day 3 has arrived! The next day I woke up at 7:00 to attend the General Session. The executive Vice-President of Chevron-Texaco was there to speak. He gave a speech on his top 10 career successes. My favorite advice he gave was a quote by Mike Tyson. The quote is “ Everybody's gotta plan to lay a big hit. What that meant to me is that on the road to the top everyone will try to get you but you also have to be prepared for it and give it the best you got. I enjoyed listening to Charles James he is a very authentic guy. Later on that day I went to a nanotechnology workshop. It was discussing how nano technology is on the rise and the funding in nano-tech.
To sum it all up I would say the time spent there opened up my eyes to a whole new world of success. It was I learned a lot from the workshops, networked, made new friends, and became motivated to succeed in life.

An effort

Flatbread food

If you are hungry don't read this story, if you like food go a head and read that story. That's all I would have to say about this story. It's very descriptive might get your mouth watering. At the same timeI don't see what purpose Rachel was telling. Was she hungry at the time of writing the story? Any ways this is a story that just talks about good cheap food, till 3 quarters of they start talking about chicken being $16. For Real?

Harry Potter

hahaha i just read the part where they compare majestic horse-bird to Funny Cide ( Kentucky Derby winner). That's funny to me because they have a mythical horse being rode like it's a prized thoroughbred haha.... Well I'm a decent Harry Potter fan. This is a nice little "ketchup" story. Gives you some background on what's going on what's going on behind the scenes. I don't know what to tell you guys about it other than the fact that once again there's someone trying to kill Harry and there's that old dude in there proctecting him. The story ends
