Life??

Ok so I have slacked off a tab bit with this blog stuff, but never again. Anyone who knows me can tell that i have been handicapped for a long time now. My right foot has two bones that are fused together and will prevent me form ever being an athlete again. This unfortunate event has given me a new prospective on life in general. It has taught me that people take two many things for granted in life. What would happen if one day you woke up and realized you could no longer walk. Or what if one day you didn't wake up at all, as in the case of our recently deceased classmate. Be positive about what you have in life. When you think that everything sucks, and wish for luxuries unnecessary to your existence, think of someone who would die to have your life. Life is good; and if your not living on the edge, your taking up way too much damn room.

What Should We Be Thinking About Today

I find it ironic how two of the music industry's biggest stars can pick today of all days to pit their simultaneously dropping albums against each other.
Six years ago on a Tuesday morning the world saw one of the most horrific acts of terror take place on American soil. The war was brought to us with a thundering force no one thought could be used against America. As a majority of the country came together in morning, another large part turned their ears away from church bells and into headphones blaring one the two newly dropped albums by Kanye West and 50 Cent; "Graduation" and "Curtis."
In the land of bling, making it rain, and rims on cars, the subculture of people who idolize this lifestyle and place it before the reality they exist in are showing their true colors. Fans watch closely as 50 cent threatens retirement if his album is outsold by Kanye West. But does it really make a difference.
2,752 people died six years ago. 2, 752Mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, husbands, and wives left this world. Sorry if I don't find it important if one rapper leaves the game.
