Here's 2009

Much Thanks due to God for making possible for me to celebrate another New Year. Extra triple super thanks goes to God for keeping all my friends, family, and associates alive soak in the beauty of life. I don't know what's in store for 09, but I'm faithful that things will be greater for my camp.

Life will be great in ways that most of my people can't even imagine and will only be able to believe when they see the greatness manifest right before their eyes. Its a honor to be able to participate in these wonderful experiences that will bring positive change to my people.

It has nothing to with politics because I know that the men in women involved in that junk are just professional liars who have been brought by the ones that really run this country. I got no faith in the America Republic. All my faith is in God and the blessings are going to come despite of all the obstacles that those devils are trying to out in our way.

The victory is already ours! The only thing we can do is win!

I just want everyone to enjoy themselves with their friends and family. I'm not big on holidays because I believe that very everyday is special. To the people out there that celebrate Christmas may God bless you to have the best holiday ever!

2 For 2

Here's another one to stimulate the taste buds of the mind. Wanna try to juice this up to the point that your thought waves will deem this piece, so delicious. Sweeter than grammo's famous sweet potato pie. You can't enough of mom's banana pudding, got you waiting line. Reading beautiful prepared words don't need be time consuming, just satisfying to the mind that they're soothing.

They Say Anything

These cheating employers are dirty, rotten punks just like the politicians. Telling you anything just to get you in the door. Putting their lies in writing, so that you'll believe them more. Great extent they go to make their crooked words look straight. In Ninety days all their guarantees prove fake!

Words To My Young One

If I don't get to tell you face to face. Whenever you want to know about my thoughts, they will be here. I'm building a business and I'm going to take it as far as I can. It will be beautiful if you can take over my work. I you have a mind for business and will be a great leader.

When I get a chance to spend time with you I'm going to teach everything I ever learned about the business. Things won't always be serious. We'll have time for fun too. One of my rules that we handle the business first and this will allow us to have fun at a high level.

I'm going to see you soon, God Bless!

The Mastering Is Done

The mastering for the Romance & True Love (RTL) album is finished. Myself and a handful of other good people have been working for nearly a year to get this album complete. It's a beautiful feeling!

The RTL album is slated for release Feb 10th, but it can be previewed at www.myspace.com/devierrtl

Blessings To You

A quick and powerful blessing goes out to my son. God continue to protect him and nurture him. Make him strong mentally, spiritually, and physically as well. Give his mother positive stability in all of her ways and allow only good people come in contact with her.

God I believe that even if I never have the opportunity to see my son you will take care of him. Thank you Lord!

Make Money Blogging

There's billions of online ads blabbering about how easy it is to make big $$$$$$$$ writing blogs. They make it seem like all you got to do is write stuff, people will scribe, and advertisers will come. This blogging thing is far from ABC 123 type of deal. It takes spending some money and finding an audience. The person managing the blog has to consistently add new and interesting content to encourage people to tune in.

Its not most impossible thing to do, but it will take some effort. A person willing to really put in time and money will bubble in his or her blog endeavor. I do mine for a hobby. If someone gets something positive from what I write, then that's great, but I'm not trying to become some blogging icon. I'm just a man writing about how I feel about a few of the things going on in the world.

If you folks like it, I love it. Much love and peace to you all.

I'm Back At It

I've been away for a good minute. Been working most of that time because I'm making up for the grip that's diverted towards child support. Had another one of these hearing and they just drilled it into my head that they can take my money and there's nothing I can do about it.

They're almost right. If I want to have some chance of ever seeing my son, then I have to follow their tune and pay child support. I'll be a good boy, but I know if I get my parental rights terminated they'll leave me alone.

The women that I made the mistake of having the child with is such a bird brain that I leave my son in her hands. She'll have my son growing to be jacked up! My only option is to find him and give all the knowledge I can.

The courts don't care about fathers being in their offspring's life. Just have money that they can strong arm and they won't put the father in jail. As far as having a relationship with the kid they could care less.

I would never blow up a courthouse because I know that the people working their are doing their jobs and its not their fault that some of the laws are bias towards fathers, but they should put pressure on the law makers to even the playing field a little more.

What do u think?

I Don't Want To Do It 1

I'm considering doing something that will run the risk of getting me disowned by my entire family. I don't want to write what it is because seeing it in print will sicken me. The bad part is that doing this horrible thing might be the best thing to do in my situation.

I might have to forfeit the paternal to my first born. Trust me, the possibility feels more gut wrenching, than it sounds. I'll give some background and it might serve to clarify things somewhat.

The blockhead broad I conceived with is a truly dirty underhanded piece of work and that's putting it nicely. I decided soon after she told me was expecting, that I didn't wanna be with her. It wasn't a direct result of her being pregnant, but she was mentally and emotionally jacked up!

I wanted to help her take care of the child and find her somewhere nice to live. Because I didn't want to live with her 24/7, she rejected my help. Threaten to leave, if I didn't agree to her terms.

I called her buff and turns out she did leave. She sent me a voicemail, stating that she didn't want anything from me and didn't want me involved in the child's life. Changed her number and I didn't hear from the filthy broad til the child was born.

Checkout the Second Part.

Expecting Too Much

My people are all caught up on the Obama winning the presidency. Its good to see them be happy, but they're acting like this is the greatest thing in the world. I just want them to simmer down and realize that is the hard part is yet to come. The hard part is for Obama to live up to the hype and I don't think he'll be able to do it.

I wonder how long its going to take for people to get over the novelty of having a non-white man as president and start jumping down Obama's when things don't get better in a blink of an eye. That's going to be unfair, but they're going to pile it on from all sides. It won't be all the pres fault. Congress is not going to ride with him enough to get his proposals through. That will be the way they use to keep him in check.

My heart goes out to the new pres and his fam. I pray that they're stay in the White be a safe one. If I was Obama, I'd hire my own private security just to be on the safe side. The CIA might pull a JFK move on him, so I suggest he get the FOI. They'll have his back for real.

Hello

I want to reach out and send a message of love to my son. I'm praying that each day you gain more in wisdom & knowledge as you grow physically. I believe you will be a great man! Great, in ways, that go beyond money and all the material things that most put stock in. You're exceptional and will finish the work I started. Even if you'll never have a chance to lay eyes on me. You will be compelled to handle the business.

It Would Make Me Happy

It would make me happy if my sons and daughters grow up to be honest people who don't lie, cheat, and take advantage of others just to make a buck.

I don't put a lot on people who are rich because many of them do turn many dirty deeds to gain or preserve their riches. Greedy fools trying to get every last dimes at the expense of the rest of us.

I pray that my children understand the value there is in being upright, honest, men & women of integrity.

In the event that they do have wealth I hope that they use their money to level the playing field and make investments that will revitalize down trodden urban communities.

Doing those things, in my estimation, will make them truly great! At the end of the day, if they decide to do something different, I'll still love them anyway.

A Chance To Make Easy Money!

In these tough economic times, its good to keep an eye out for possible good money making opportunities. A buddy of mine turned me on to this baby below, if you interested, just follow the link to get more details.

They Call U When Then Need U

Just before the spring of this year one of close friends borrowed $1500 from me to pay processing fees for a loan that was going to fetch him $150000.

I've him since the early 90's and I've lent him money before and he lent me money, we both paid each other back, so there was credibility between us.

We both work and run businesses on the side and he was in position to qualify for a loan, so he asked me to help me out.

He told me that the processing fees were $3000.00 and I agreed to lend him $1500 under the condition that when he got the loan he was going to shoot me back $3000.

At the time I was doing pretty good. I had about $5000 in my checking & savings accounts, so that $1500 wasn't going to hurt me immediately. But things can take a turn for the worst in a blink of an eye.

He said it would take a week for the bank to complete the loan process. Before the week was out I had lost my job, got evicted and started paying a super high amount in child support, things was getting all bad.

To top that off, when I was expecting to hear from him about the loan, he didn't call. I tried calling him numerous times, he didn't return my calls until days later.

He told me that he didn't get the loan and that he would return my cash in two weeks. He was my folks, so I gave him a pass because I believed that he was going to do what he said. I didn't happen. He's a merchant seamen, so he jumped on the boat, for work, but promised to pay me when he came back.

I discovered from my brother that he's back in town and I'm sad to say that he has not made an attempt call me to make things right.

I'm kind of upset about that because I thought dude was a honest person. I hope that this can be solved in a civil way.

People Better Wake Up

People putting to much faith in this election results that I believe that some people will do something drastic if they don't like the outcome. Personally I don't think either one of these guys will do anything to shake up the status quot. McCain will pretty much being a typical republican catering to big business and special interest groups.
Obama will be weak because he has to be sack less, otherwise he wouldn't have got this far. He might be the most non-threatening negro in US political history and yet he still scares some white folks. I see him being a token and a yessar guy who'll be sucking and licking his paymasters every single day that he's in the white house.

At the end of the day there's too many issues will take more than one term to solve and whichever one of these unlucky suckas gets in, they won't get a second term.

Winning Investment Plan

I writing this piece for my people out there who, right now, might be a little bit leery about investing in the stock market. Two months ago I found this website called prosper.com. Its a lending community consisting of regular people that lend and borrow money. I signed up as a lender and I'm earning nearly 11% interest on my money. Everyday I log on and see that I've earned some more money. If anyone wants to look at my lending portfolio I'll post the link below:

http://www.prosper.com/plan/Aggressive__9CC3353387551880184E42F

Prosper is looking really solid and its must that people take advantage of this opportunity. With prosper, all you do is win! There's no way you can lose!

Rewarding Irresponsibility

The main bank (WAMU) that I had the majority of my funds, failed and the wreckage was gobbled up by JP Morgan. The Gov is trying to push a rescue 911 plan together to avoid further damage to this already beat up economy. Putting up 700 billion to bailout these fat cats whose greed got us in this mess to begin with. That's real genius plan, right there.
These fools already screwed over a ton of capital, so the solution is to give em even more to screw over. It don't take an economist to see that's bad idea and will end up costing the good ole US taxpayers a lot more money in the end.

Retirement is 30 years away and I've got to do a lot of extra stuff to get enough to live on in my golden years and there's many other people in that same boat.
Maybe we should band together and start are own bank, credit union, or financial services company handle our needs.

Anybody got some ideas, I'm ready listen.

Living In It From Outside Of It

Inhaling and exhaling on this blue/white marble spinning round the black space of the uni. Signing & out of the time sheet or calling the automated time clock. Spending my hours observing others doing what I'm doing and hoping nothing calls for me to do more than the mini. Give em effort with my time and get not a cent more, that I'm not trying to do.

Go through this, I for the crumbs to contribute to house, food, lights, water, electricity, heat, and other things that come up during the month. Selling my time so that I can pursue comfortable living. Breathing with the benefit of having nice things that are suppose to make life better.

Big house with many bedrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools, hot tubs, and high ceilings. High priced Euro autos, one for each day of the month and more diamonds, gold & platinum than the jewelery exchange.

Because people who have that much wealth are happy being idolized and envied by the poor folks of the world. Working men/women wanna slap the diamond encrusted spoons from the elites mouths, but if given the chance they would love to swap places with them.

Having material things might make living more convenient, but it make things a whole lot difficult. Mental stress, heart disease, diabetes, nervous break downs, strokes, and other mental conditions that come about from racing to get comfortable living.

The savages of the jungles, in days way back, they didn't have to worry about so much stuff to live. Life was simple; a place to sleep, food & water, tribe and that was it.

There was nothing fancy or cool about that, but man it would be beautiful to have learned to live with just the necessities.

Breaking In The Business

Ten years ago as one third of the dynamic super hip hop group Truborn, I know, you never heard of it, but trust me when I say that we were damn good! The real point is that back before digital music got off the ground it was difficult for local acts without big budgets to build and sustain a fan base without hooking up with a big name celebrity in their region. As a result, Truborn besides playing at a few local venues, never reached its full potential.

Today I'm building my own indie entertainment company called Gran Royale Music (GRM). This company is be formatted to be a force in the digital world. I've got real artists such as The VC, Devier, Yay, and in the process of adding more to our roster.

In the digital world with the development social networking sites its easier to connect with a fan base, but digital universe is so vast, filled with a never ending supply of resources that promise to help to cater to your audience.

They're happy to help and willing to charge a pretty penny as well, but very few of them will refund you in the event that they fail to deliver.

I will continue to work towards making my company the best it can be, but I'll always keep my eye out for an internet promotions & marketing firm that can provide the services I need.

I Want You To Know

This goes out to my son. He knows who he is, so I won't mention his name. I wish it was possible for me to have been there from your moment on earth, but because of the situation between your mother and myself I was not able to have that opportunity.

By the time you're reading this, you'll be aware of how everything went down, so I'm not going to dwell on that. I want you to understand that I love you and that I pray for your well being and that God will bless you in every aspect of your life.

I ask the lord to give you a double portion of all the great attributes that he blessed me with and trust that all things I'm working towards will be for you. The incredible things that I have going on now are developing to be special. I'm sure going add your style to the mix with the most dynamic effect.

Son learn, grow, and prosper because you will have more than a foundation to build on, so be ready. Soli, I might not see you everyday, but my heart, mind, and spirit will always be with you.

God bless you!

I Can Taste The Victory

I've been fighting for the majority of my existence on this planet and the time is approaching for me to experience a great victory. This will not be the first time I ever accomplished something because I've had many minor wins on my books, but this one will be really something special.

The reason is that this win will have a positive effect on many people, some I know directly and others indirectly, but it will be quite profound. I got to thank God for putting the right folks in my path because they have made tremendous contributions to this thing and it would not have happened without their help.

Lord knows that the truth because the first time around when I was flying solo bolo and the situation manifested itself that had the pressure building on my back and it was way too much for me to handle at that time. I made some bone headed moves at the most crucial instances and as a result I suffered many setbacks.

Not only was I hurt, but most importantly there were people that needed to be helped and it was my responsibility to serve them and failed, so they didn't get the help they needed. This time is different. I'm prepared to go all the way this time and nothing won't stop me. I thank the Lord for my strength and my people for the love.
Enjoy family, enjoy because its all for you.

You'll End Up With Nothing

She's been playing the game unfairly from the start and this latest stunt she pulled just confirms that I'm going to have to go hard on her! Let her see that all the wicked tactics she used against me only served to make me guilt free when I begin to start fighting back.

I hope she's enjoying her facade of victory because it soon will crumble down and evaporate away into nothing. Battle is coming and I'll rain blows upon her until she's totally obliterated. She wants to take my DNA and use it to twist me into villain, but watch how I'll flip the script and use her past to reflect the true about who she really is.

I can't wait and I won't pull no punches the truth is going to be told.

Neo Soli

Hello my good people, It seem as though I'll be seeing my son in the next couple of weeks. It has not been easy getting to this point, due to the fact, that his mother & I have not really been communicating. To be honest, she was not talking to me. Why not, you ask? Well she seemed more concerned with trying to have a romantic relationship with me, then she did, letting me get to know my son. She played the run away and hide game with the child all through his life and because she live in another state I have to travel there to file paper work for visitation.

I'll go there after the 4th of July. Maybe I'll stay for 5 days, see my son and take him to a movie or something. He's still young I wonder what will be his reaction to seeing me for the first time. I hope he don't cry. I'd be like, "Soli, I'm yo Daddy! Has your mom poisoned you against me already!", I'm just kidding. I communicate to him on the phone. He listens and makes happy sounds as I'm speaking to him I believe I'll take to me quick.

I that boy touches my heart; each time I hear him or simple think about my son, happy feelings just overflows throughout entire being. That's different for a man such as I who keeps emotions in check, but my baby boy brings it all out. I've got a great big grin on my face right now. This boy will always be able to count on me and trust that God will give me whatever I need to come through for him. Young Soli, my boy, you will be the best. God bless my son in every way possible. Thank you, Lord!

Peace!

Work For Free

I got to say that the job market is looking very horrible for me. I shot off a good 100 resumes and got only 1 interview. The interview went totally, not in my favor. It was with Apple and I applied because they're slogan, "Think Different" signaled to me that they were a open minded company as far as diversity.

I peeped in there and I seen two bros out of the 20 employees they had on the floor. They were the suburban "Carlton Banks" less intimidating bros. The ones that white folks feel comfortable around.

I'm dreaded up, muscular, and extremely masculine. When my eyes caught the interviewers first reaction to me, I pretty much knew they didn't like me, but I decided to finished the interview anyway. The store manager was rolling his eyes each and every time I spoke. The assistant manager was spooked by me as well as all the other interviewees.

I still like Apple products and I'm not going to hold that against them because they have the right to hire who they want. Even thought they hired some bros, I wasn't their kind of bro. I accepted it and may God continue to bless them.

No matter how much I need a job I'll never beg to get hired. Take me as I am or don't take me at all.

The news is that God is opening up doors for me and I see some opportunities coming my way. They're right around the corner.

God Bless!

Trapped In That Slave Mind Set

This another of my work experiences that I want to share with all who takes the time to listen. Especially black people. I'm a black man so this is an opportunity for me to drop some wisdom on my people who have the sense to take advantage of it.
For those who've read some of my earlier posts know that I work at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA.
Highland is a county hospital that excepts everyone and everything, no one is turned away. If that's not bad enough, add all the gun shot wound, motor vechical accidents, assault, and all emergency patients in the Eastbay you pretty much have a circus going 24/7.
Black people should understand that we're all being watched more closely then other people and the majority class has different rules when it comes to dealing with us. We must follow the guidelines and not give them any excuse to use the authorities against us, but time and time again some of our folks will come into the hospital drunk, high, and unable to control their emotions. I know that trauma situations are difficult to handle, but we still must keep our composure not be quick to act out a scene in a "hood" movie.

They Still Don't Know

This new account manager over ACMC is really rubbing me the wrong way. This guy has been in the building for a "hot" two weeks and he has decided that I must cut off my dread locks! I had the same hair style when they hired me last year. Why are my locks unacceptable now? It makes no sense that this guy is dogging me about my hair. He's close to getting some serious "hands" put on him. Crushing him down into pulp against the ground will feel good for a second, but will surely get me 5 to 10 in San Quinton. I'll keep my hands in my pockets, while I put him in check. To be honest, talking to that idiot is a waste of time, so I better just move on and handle my business somewhere else. Those fools don't appreciate the high quality work I do for them and don't wanna spend another representing such a lowdown, dirty, disgusting company. I'm officially done with that outfit. Good riddance!

They Still Don't Know

For a hot minute it appeared that the minions of the evil one was going deal fairly but how could they do that when then chose to side with the wicked.
I don't want none of the stuff they flashing trying to get me crossover to the condemned side.
One thing this one is not and that's a fool. I'll under the blood of the truth and light that created me to overcome the corruption of the world.

No Time For Sleeping

Tomorrow is my break from the "jobbie" job that's helping me stay afloat these days. I'll spend some quality me time getting my business issues in order. Got a session to attend in the early afternoon, then another in the evening, and then a business meeting after that. In the morning, I'll knock off a few business calls to start my date right. Get that momentum roiling early and by noon I'll be steamrolling anything that's in the way.

Got Some Free Time

I'm at work, but I decided to take a few moments to express some things to my readers out there. 2008 is starting off pretty good. All my family & friends are alive and doing well. I my finances are stronger today, then they were at the same time last year and even though the job that I currently have is kind of "crappy" it keeps things going. Plus, there are many good people here. GRM my entertainment media company is close to releasing the first single from the Romance & True Love album by soul singing sensation "Devier" on Valentine's Day. I'm om the brink of forming some beautiful partnership that will give GRM worldwide exposure and when that happens the world will truly be in my hands.

For The New Year

I just wanna thank God for showing grace and mercy to my family because we all made thru 07 and we believe that 08 is going to be the best year yet. To all my people out there, God Bless!
