"Crack is cheap. I make too much money to smoke crack."

Whitney Houston to Diane Sawyer. That's awesome, sanctimony from a drug addict. And it seems that Whitney was probably a lesbian. Man, the hits just keep on comin'! Read the story.

Today in Black History:

Keep On Your Toes!

Ever find yourself lapsing into a false sense of security? Sure you have. And if you haven't, that's probably because you haven't been bitched slapped by reality hard enough, or often enough. But you will be...

It's inevitable. You may as well resign yourself to the fact that life doesn't fight fair. It will cheap shot you every chance it gets and the less you are prepared for it and fall into a state of partial, or total lax, the more punishing the blow (s) will seem. Stay on your toes! Be ready for it! Murphy's Law is always in effect, and if something can go wrong, it usually will. That's just the whats.

Life is like a circle of smelly, vegan hippies playing hacky-sack and your junk is the bean bag. You don't have to beat the shit out of the hippies to stop them, though it would probably be extremely satisfying. You just have to be alert that they're trying to hacky your sack and just decide not to let them punt your nards.

Basically, just say "no". This will stop the barrage in its' tracks, giving you the ability to no longer be hit by them. Then whatever life throws at you will no longer be able to have the impact that it had before. This isn't pontification, it's rudimentary information. It's a reminder to be alert to what you're doing and what's going on around you and your response to those things. Make life's experiences your servant, not your master. Make them work for you be learning from them, to make you smarter, stronger. Not against you, by punishing you, enslaving you. IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL! GOD DOES NOT HATE YOU! IF THERE IS A HIGHER POWER IT PROBABLY DOESN'T KNOW OF YOUR EXISTENCE, ANYMORE THAN YOU'RE AWARE OF AN INDIVIDUAL JACK JUMPER ANT IN AUSTRAILIA!

Like that subway train rolling down the tracks towards Neo, as Agent Smith had him in a headlock in The Matrix. "Hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of your death. Good bye, Mr. Anderson." But Neo stayed on his toes, so to speak and had the where with all to escape the hold to avert Agent Smith's fait accompli. Mr. Anderson, Neo, knew that he had to take the initiative to escape trouble. He was the ultimate decider. And when Neo realized that he could handle any trouble that came his way, just by staying on his toes, he could focus on his response to the scenario (s) that were posed to him and he became a virtual Superman.

And you can, too. Nothing is written in stone, until it's carved on your tombstone. You can decide what life's scenario (s) will ultimately mean to you, and respond accordingly to them in a way that is beneficial to you and your wants and desires. Are you still breathing? Of course you are, you're reading this aren't you? Go forth, and do the things that you always wanted to do with your life. Live your life like the author of your autobiography, which you truly are and make great things happen for yourself. Like reading schitZen vane.
