Knowledge Is Still Power....

With everything going on in the world. We have to keep our eyes open to read all the information out there. Listen to what people have to say, information is key. Not everything is relevant we have to read in between the lines sometimes. This Occupy Movement has opened a door that was already cracked open. The way a human being means nothing to the leaders of this world. Not this country, This World...Some of us have to broaden our horizons, our thought process is to narrow at times. If you choose to be blind I'm not mad at you. The truth is it affects us all, from our elders to the children. This last month I wrote about a lot of personal issues and honest opinions that I have. Every day I'm still learning and reading as much as i can. Keep my mind going, staying focus. I have a lot going on in my life, mainly helping family out. I always thought I had my life on track but my vision wasn't clear. I Guess I Had My SunGlasses On!! LOL
Anyway, OCCUPY THE STREETS IS STILL THE MESSAGE HERE!!! Knowledge is Power, Read the Information out there, Find out what there fighting for. They're fighting for our rights too!! PEACE

ALL ALONE

     The fear of commitment..the fear of connecting to the person and losing them. There's an emptiness, a void that maybe will never be filled. I don't open these doors for just anyone. You will only see a glimpse. The pain is bigger than I can write. I sit quietly in thought. While you sleep, I'm tossing and turning. My brain won't let me sleep. All alone in my own.  It's hard for me to let someone in. Explaining everything, it always feels like the first time. All my losses and how they affect me. I carry the pain on my sleeve. My emotions may seem as a kind of weakness, but the weakness is my control over them .
       
       Regret is such a terrible feeling.

               Living with these regrets while they eat up your insides. The ulcers of emotions. What do you feed this monster?  Doubt and going thru the what ifs in life just seems to weigh me down. I just want to live a "normal" life.  You see "normal" hasn't been in my vocabulary for last 10 years. So, How do I go about having a "normal" relationship ? ...Do I look for a "normal" girl? .....I don't think I know what anything is anymore. I only know me and what I'm capable of. I learn something new about myself everyday and I try to grow.
   
                     My dreams is all I have, and I don't sleep much. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe in myself. I don't feel I've accomplished enough. Even after everything I've overcome. I'm not satisfied. Maybe this is that void I feel. Always needing the support from family,friends and most of all... from You..whoever you are.

Throw Away Your Television...

Take the Noose off your Ambition - Anthony Kiedis

              Listening to this song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers makes perfect sense. (Except for Sunday n sometimes Thursday...NFL...and Tuesday S.O.A.) So much garbage on T.V.  Don't get me wrong there's great shows. All I ask is "How many times do we need to hear the same story?" Hate is a strong word so I very, really, super duper can't stand reality shows. If in the credits is says "written by blah blah" then its not reality. Leave it up to real actors to play out roles on my favorite shows. If it's not something educational such as First 48, Intervention, or just something that is REAL! I dont want to watch. Why do i care about the "Housewives of any city"? We decide to watch someone else is life to make us feel better. Really?? When do we live our lives?... Maybe I'm wrong, Supply and Demand says I am. We the people keep buying into this shit. While rich get richer the poor just watching. Make sure you got enough money for that cable bill. Your credit cards don' swipe, and it's Mcdonald's dollar menu dinner. Just in time for Basketball Wives.....huh? We take other human beings with money too serious. It's like asking Jay-Z what he thinks about the war in iraq. He raps, promotes, and sold dope at some point. He never joined the military. (Soldiers n Veterans = heroes) What would he know? Other than what he might see and hear.... Next this country dude that does the Monday Night Football intro..(Couldn't remember his name(non important) had to look it up Hank Williams Jr) He compared Obama to Hitler on Fox News (of all places). Who the fuck cares? The only time i see this guy is on monday night and he singing. That's his job, not a news correspondent, not a politician. But guess what that shit had him trending on twitter all day. Everyone had something to say about it good, bad, and ugly didn't matter. Why even give it a second of your time?

            John Lennon once said in a interview "The Beatles are bigger than Jesus right now." The whole thing was blown out of proportion and they were receiving death threats from Kack Kack Kack (KACK SUCKAS) I hate racism BTW... Anyway, i'm just saying what i feel. When i see Rihanna, performing Rude Boy @ the Kids Choice Awards(2010) Then see Kesha on disney ( same girl talking about a bottle of jack in her debut single.) About 2 weeks ago i hear her song on the radio talking about menage trois and getting wasted. I only wonder what does this do for the kids. What is it that we're selling them? T.V. business is serious business, Hollywood is serious business ask Dave Chappelle.  It's always up to parents to handle what their kids are doing with their time. Nothing should be more important than the future of our youth. Watch the news, it repeats itself, It always has, always will. Just like the rest of the b.s. If you want to experience something new, you have to do it yourself.

Imagine All The People

Try To LOVE & EVOLve....

Every relationship you should learn something about yourself. Everyday should be a new lesson in life. Sometimes we can't imagine that the people we meet will someday play a role in our lives. a friendship, a girlfriend/boyfriend it doesn't matter. We evolve when we meet someone that can inspire us to do more. Our pride gets in the way of admitting this and i've been guilty as charged. ( i was granted early release for good behavior.) It has always been easier for me to write out how i feel instead of speaking.

"Why are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear" - John Lennon

Over the years i've learned to tell the people i love and care about what they need to hear. Life is too short. We cant be scared of how that person might react. If you really care, if you really love them, if you really want to help. just be honest.

" Honesty is such a lonely word, Everyone is so untrue. honesty is hardly ever heard and mostly what i need from you." Billy Joel

Food for thought.. serve them an intelligent dish. If you have the knowledge and wisdom then share it. If you are the one at the dinner table. eat up, i hope you came with an appetite and don't worry about about the bill. you can pay with your attention it's only a reality check. Maybe you don't realize that you can learn the recipe, and one day you can be the cook. What i've learned from people i can never live without. My friends, family, enemies, co-workers, and even the homeless (yes the homeless) I've crossed paths with all walk of life and i've always listened. Always take what a person has to say into consideration. Take from it what you might feel is relevant. So many people lay out their smoke and mirrors. We cant reflect on that image because whatever we generate will be distorted truth. Lately i've been writing all i have to offer. Yes, they are just my opinions, i also have a heart that pumps blood and brain that functions properly at times... In my 26 years i carry experiences not everyone my age or older than me has had to chance to live thru and vice versa. I have not stopped learning and i wont stop sharing.

"people asking questions, lost in confusion. Well i tell them there's no problems, only solutions" - John Lennon

this quote is so true there is always a solution. This is why i listen to the music that came before us. musicians weren't scared to be honest. I take pride in what i do and when i have people tell me that my words have touched them. the feeling is one of love and hope for my future. Never did i imagine i was capable of  completing such a task. From now on if the door opens i'm walking thru it. if you have the chance, i hope you make the choice to change for the better. Let love help you evolve. we must learn to grow as human beings.
Thanks for the support, we all need it. Peace

Just a minor thing

                            So I'm awaken by an unknown number. i hate those calls, especially on the nights I'm trying to go to bed early. (3 hours of sleep last night and 4 hours the night before. ) of course the caller doesn't know this, but can you at least not block the call. you never who's calling when its unknown, we always think "uh oh stalker." (i've had a stalker before, its nothing to be proud of.) what if?, just what if its an emergency? i would feel like shit if someone called me because they needed help and i didn't answer because i make an assumption. when i answer the phone with a mumble and then a hello and no response your just listening. it's kind of sad that you have the time on your hands or maybe not, because you didn't call me back. maybe since i posted the number you figured i was lying and you just wanted to see what's up. well  now you know...YAY!!! thank you anyway.... i forgot to brush my teeth...and if you wondering who's billy dee coolidge?? he is who you the people.. created. It feels good to be positive Peace in the middle east.. 

State Of Mind...RELOCATING

            
         My life hasn't always been full of positives. In my darkest hour, I always had someone to brighten my day. Thank God for these people. A couple close calls has sent my state of mind in some what of a frenzy. There has to be more to life then just nickels and dimes, everybody has there two cents. I just want to be successful, i can do without the fame. i don't do anything for the fame but life becomes a popularity contest. I get it, but you gotta remember we're all human being capable of something positive.

 " i know what i'm needing, i dont wanna waste more time..I'm in a N.Y. State of mind. " Billy Joel

Since i've left all my reasons behind i've been feeling nothing but positivity. Everyone reading, thank you for reading and Please leave your comments, or Email Me arnezkushem@yahoo.com, or text me @my google voice # (904)4KU-SHEM (458-7436)   its only more inspiration for me to hear it from you....

Venus.. It Must Be Beautiful There

The work of art that we can never pass up.....Of course "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I don't know who came up with the phrase but the words are perpetual. You have to use another set of eyes to appreciate the painting or the sculpture. The mind behind the piece you see before you can explain so much. The beauty we all look for is deeper than just what you see on the canvas. In reality the artwork satisfies all of our senses. As men we sometimes ruin a perfect Leonardo Da Vinci painting. Mona Lisa wasn't a Kim Kardashian but if you look at the painting long enough you can see true, genuine beauty. Now no one is perfect and though Hollywood sets this perception on what's beautiful and what's not. These are only humans like us with tons of pressure on their shoulders just to stay relevant. Money can't buy love but it can buy physical beauty. Who wants someone that is fake? (I know your drooling over them silicone titties at Tootsie's Cabaret homie but she just wants your money and I'm sure she got plenty of issues to go with those implants.) A woman should never cut into their bodies. You will only tarnish what god has created. A man is gonna love you whether you have a A cup or DD's when he see's your true-self and that takes us into the next segment.

                                                                    ::Inner Beauty::

 I like to say " God doesn't like ugly." Not talking about the physical but how that person carries themselves. Those females that treat themselves like shit , Let other people treat em like shit, usually become shit. It will probably be too late by the time they realize (Enough with the negative)... Behind every strong man is a strong woman. My mother taught me this first hand. When my father passed, she lost her job a month later. This sparked a whole new beginning for her, she went back to school while  cleaning houses for an income. I don't think she has looked back ever since. She finished nursing school and it's no more cleaning houses anymore. When life threw her a curve ball she hit a home run.  Now with that being said...

                          "Since We All came from a woman, Got our name from a woman, and our game from a woman...I wonder Why We Take from our woman ? Why We Rape our Woman ? Do We Hate our Woman?" (Keep Ya Head Up - 2pac )

I think God decided for woman to carry the babies because he wanted us as men to appreciate them for all they have to offer. The life they bring into our worlds.  I dont have any children but as a man i can sense the fulfillment of having a piece of you. Breathing, growing, and living their lives right before your eyes.
                                           " Life is what happens when your busy making other plans" (John Lennon)

Man and Woman, We forget what's important in this one life we have. A man needs a woman by his side, the balance she creates for us to walk the tight rope. Forever seems like a long time but love lasts forever. It wasn't love if the feeling faded. It never dies, its in a picture, a letter, a song, and in our hearts. "Treat others the way you want to be treated" Male or Female it doesn't matter. If you read this and your hating, I don't care..I'm not writing it for you. This is dedicated to all the beautiful woman i have ever crossed paths with and those who i haven't. Stay true to yourself and Always Love Yourself. The rest will fall into place. If you are lost I hope you find your path in life, I hope i can inspire that much.... If your still hating, keep on hating there will always be more here for you to hate on....Peace

MIDAS TOUCH

I was 19 years old. It was May 22, 2004. Sitting at the couch watching t.v.  with this chick. She ask me to call her cousin who happens to be a friend of mine.... This phone call changed my life forever. I paced back and forth waiting a response. Only hearing what the streets were talking. That was so like Midas. He always told me "The streets are talking homie and I'm listening." He was a quiet dude but when he spoke he was humble and genuine. As an artist and a writer I always had my doubts. and I remember when i was 16 I moved up to Jersey and I had a chance to talk to him on the phone. He asked if i've been writing and i told em yeah listen to this verse. When I finished he didnt quite give me the response I was hopin for. Then one day 6 months later in miami there's a group of us talking about music and he's like "yo D spit that crack you had let me hear over the phone." Kinda caught me off gaurd that he even remembered my first line. He always be here in spirit and he will forever be missed. The Song Has Ended But The Melody Lives Forever 730 For LIFE. For some people 730 is only an expression for crazy or gang affiliation. We were never a gang, We were just growing up in this crazy world. We had sense of family when we got together for a house party or bbq. We would help Midas set up the turn tables and speakers. He's pop open a guinness and start spinnin records. He always had a reggae mix that he can play long enough to go light one up. At a young age he always had a vision for success. Success that we will all be able to share. That is my main goal in this life and maybe the next one. 730 La Familia RIP Midas Touch, Peace

Liquid Cocaine/ Liquid Heroin... There's A BIG DIFFERENCE

Ok, so here's how it goes.. 1 part Jager, 1 part Rumpleminze, 1 part Goldschlager. This is a Liquid Cocaine (L.C. for short)  Let me remind you Rumpleminze is 100proof. Now Liquid Heroin (L.H. for short) is the same exact concoction ( that word is for Mr Ki Dub) but you add 151 on top of that. I can handle my liquor but 2 of those puts me in my spot. I dont need anything else to drink but water after back to back shots of L.H. So one night Mr. Ki Dub (im gonna call him Mr because he deserves it) Myself, O-Dogg, and I cant remember anyone else. That alone should explain the intensity of the night. We were  chilling, getting wasted from place to place. Our last stop was a strip club, well i think we only went to strip clubs that night (LOL) As soon as we walk in the door O is ordering a round of L.H's. Now Mr. Ki Dub's favorite drink are L.C's and at the time he was drinking like a fish since he was 13. He has yeeeears under his belt!! i wouldnt expect him to fail me as a my wingman. That night he proved me wrong...15 minutes after the first round, another round was ordered. 15 minutes later Mr. Ki Dub is tugging on some dudes shirt, screaming gibberish at the top of his lungs. After I apologize to the man, and explain to him that this half irish half italian nut bar has had to much to drink. told em it wont happen again yada yada. so after i scold Mr. Ki Dub with a fierce " Tighten The Fuck UP!!" Only to wait 10 more minutes until he's fuckin with buddy again. At that point the dude was cool and he didnt take it personal. He just laughed as I walked Mr. Ki Dub to the door. I didnt want to fuck up my connections at the club. I got drinks for the low, The girls didn't ask me for a tips, and i was cool with all the bouncers. So the ride home was a mix of my disappointment and his gibberish. i decided to stop and get some denny's and try to help my dear friend sober up some. only to find a group of piggies enjoyin their coffee n pancakes. I wasnt about to bring Mr. Ki Dub inside, so i tell him to wait in the car. Now this is where i made my one and only mistake. i left the keys in the ignition. it didnt occur to me at the time but when i stepped outside with 2 bags of food. To find my car missing from the parking lot with half the precint inside behind me. i was furious. I dont even think that is the word to use for this night. I wanted to kill him and take em to the everglades so the gators could have a drunken feast. When he answers the phone he has the audacity to ask me "Where are you?" This man thought I left him. He fell asleep, woke up in the passenger side and came to the conclusion that he was by himself. I think God put him in my life to test my patience.  When I see him, i have to ask him " how did i do?" At the beginning I wrote Mr. Ki Dub deserves the Mr. I say that because he's trying to live a life of sobriety. I support that 100%. To see a childhood friend destroying himself kills me. No matter the drug. (Yes alcohol is a drug, they just figured out how to tax it.) i know there's people out there that could relate. Sometimes we have to wait for them to hit rock bottom before we can help them pick themselves up. So Mr. Ki Dub we had some goodtimes and we will continue. I SALUTE YOU!!! STAY STRONG MY BROTHER I GOT YOUR FUCKING BACK!!!!!  Anybody on my side of the fence... BE THERE FOR YOUR FOLKS.. THEY NEED US!!!! ALSO TO ALL MY PEOPLES READING THIS.... I LOVE YOU GUYS THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!!!! 730 LA FAMILIA

GOD'S GIFT...THE BIGGER PICTURE

No matter what I've been thru I've never tried to return his gift. That would be rude and I would be considered ungrateful. There people that have nothing but the gift of life and they are so happy with it. Why does the thought even cross our mind? Suicide really... that's the solution when times get hard. If u have something you can't live with. Ask God to take your pain and offer him your time. We were all put here for a reason. I'm sure he didn't put us here to kill ourselves. In my opinion those that have taken their  own life are considered failures in his eyes. I'm not some one who is very religious. I don't believe in church. But there is a God, a higher power. This where I lay my trust. Too many coincidences in my life, for him not to be real. Believing is the hardest part. Sometimes our minds get the best of us. Doubt, our lack of self esteem, the negativity, the idea in our heads that we're not perfect because TV says so. Companies that shoot commercials selling there products by making you feel like less of a person. Everyone that wakes up every morning should feel special. Love thyself, n if someone doesn't appreciate you then move on. Don't hate someone for not respecting or loving you. At the end of the day it is their loss. Stay above the water. Drowning should never be an option. I find inspiration everyday, without it I would be dead. Love the time you have and the people you spend that time with. If you can't be happy with that person.. just move on.
ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME -2PAC ..I will wait for my time to come for him to do just that
Dedicated to you

Obstacles

Once upon a time..there was a man who went out of his way for my family. With no blood relation to us. It was all love. The love he had for my grandmother.  Growing up there was no step in front of grandfather. We knew exactly who he was. Smart, genuine,  and caring. When I was 16 years old, he sent me a letter. Nothing that he wrote personally just something he felt that I needed to read. It was about obstacles and how they're put in front of us to get over them. When we are faced with these decisions in our lives. We may not realize but this is what makes you who you are or who you want to become. At the time i received this my father was diagnosed with cancer and he later passed months after the letter.... A friend once said "God will never put you thru something you can't handle." After every friend that has passed or family member whose time was up. I've learned to accept whatever fate has in store. But I will never stop fighting. Obstacles will always fail to destroy who I am. Every challenge and how I get thru it can only define me.The insanity began before my birth. I'm learning to live with it. For all those struggling...being miserable will only destroy your spirit we have been blessed with. Change your outlook and think positive . Enjoy your life none of us know where our chapters end. Peace R.I.P Samuel Potash n my father Jose Luis Nuñez

Just In Time For Halloween...

Misrepresentation..

Do you think you can figure someone out on twitter? 140 characters is never enough for me. I always have more to say.What does that say about me? I'm not a role model and I dont try to be one. If the one who is looking up to me is following in my foot steps I can only say one thing. Turn around and find your own path because this one is still under construction.  You never want to be like the next man. Always be yourself....Honesty is always the best policy.  The human mind will always be more than 140 characters and those who live in that world believing all they read. I will pray for you. In my life I've never seen so many fools. Thanks to twitter making that all possible. Connecting us even though so many are still so disconnected. If i say something i mean it... From " Have a nice day! " to " Go fuck yourself! " I mean every syllable.. I promise. I always try to remember its not what you say its how you say it. At the end of the day I will keep being myself and speak how i feel. Not what you want to hear but sometimes the truth hurts. Peace Smoke 1
