New way of thinking....new career

Well it has been about three months since I have graduated from college and have started my new job in Kohl's MIT (Management in Training) program and I have already been taught some very important lessons about life already.....which leads me to say that my days in retail are numbered. While the money is good and the potential to earn more is also good me working in retail has shown me one very important thing...money doesn't equal happiness. One of my goals in life has always been to find a career that I would love to do everyday and not just a job in which I do work to earn a paycheck. My time with Kohl's so far has not been terrible but at the same time I have quickly realized that this type of work is just what it is....work. Throughout these past 3 months I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life and what I realized with the help of God is that I want to make an impact on the next generation. A lot of people always talk about how the younger generations need help but I feel that God has put it in my heart to make a career of helping this next generation through something I love....basketball. So with that said I have come to the decision that I want to make the career change to become a basketball coach and a teacher. To be honest I feel that God has been telling me this for years now and to be even more honest I have been ignoring it for the longest because I felt that the money wasn't good enough. I was too focused on money and thought that it would make me happy when in reality doing what I was here for is what is going to really make me happy. Only God knows where he is going to take me with this and all I can do is tag along for the ride because in the end he will lead me to where I need to be.

Change of Heart......

In the past until a couple of days ago I wasn't a Kendrick Lamar fan. I just couldn't stand his voice but I knew he wasn't complete trash like a lot of the new people in hip-hop/rap. Well the past couple of days I listened to his newest work which is "Section .80" and I have had a change of heart and I am now a fan of his. His mindset of not being into the BS that a lot of rappers and society in general are into is what makes me respect him not only as a rapper but as a man too. I like "A.D.H.D." and I really like 'Keisha's Song" from Section .80.....but as a whole the CD is very good and I will look into some of his older stuff. I'm glad I found someone else to listen to that is new other than Big K.R.I.T. hahaha

My dilemma......

I have a dilemma, well maybe not a dilemma but more of a situation I think I am in and will be in for quite some time....see the thing is I have made a promise with God to live by his word and not have sex before marriage...the thing about that is that in this day and age I feel that people view that in a negative light. I feel that girls/women and people in general around my age think that sex is needed in a relationship. My problem is that I almost feel ashamed/afraid to tell someone I would be interested in dating what feels like a "deep dark secret" of me not having sex before marriage. I feel like girls, even ones that don't have sex every other night, might be turned away because of that. This sucks because I am not going to change how I feel or break that promise I made with God. I have even met some "Christians" that are okay with having sex before marriage which makes it even worse because they I would think would be in the same boat as I am but they have seemed to jump ship. I think today's culture has gotten the majority of people to think that without sex you can't express love to your significant other.......so prettty much that's my dilemma/situation

Yesssssss!!!!!!!

Big K.R.I.T. has announced that he is working on another mixtape/free album that he will drop early next year before his album drops.......I can't begin to say how happy I am that this is happening.....lately I haven't really been feeling much that has come out in regards to hip-hop/rap so knowing that some good music will come soon I am wired up........it's going to be called "4eva and a Day" and to be honest I would wait forever and a day for it.....okay that was kinda corny but oh well

Rules for Swag

These rules should help those that have seem to have gotten swag all mixed up and distorted.....enjoy

1. Swag can not be bought
2. Swag comes from within.....not what you saw on TV or heard on the radio
3. Adding the word swag to everything doesn't give you swag
4. Swag should be seen not heard
5. You shouldn't have to tell someone you have swag....they should know it
6. There is many forms of swag
7. Hating on someone for their swag does not give you swag
8. Swag doesn't happen overnight
9. You can't force swag.....it should happen naturally
10. If you only got it cause you think it makes you look cool......that ain't swag
11. You can't be given swag.....it must be learned and earned

.........I think that covers it hahaha but if you think I missed one feel free to comment and I might add it to the list

Ahhhh sookie sookie now!!!!!

So apparently Big K.R.I.T. has recently announced that he will be releasing his first actually album this Sept. 27th called "Live From the Underground"...................Praise God!!!!.......More great music from this man to come and I can't wait.......I will have it the day it comes out for sure no matter what.......now the hard part of waiting for it to drop......I guess I can just continue to jam "Return of 4eva" until it drops.....not like I have gotten tired of it anyways. 

Goal accomplished!!....Find a Internship

Well I am no longer singing the King's Blues God has blessed me with a job. What is funny about this is that when I got it and started working I realized that it is really a internship that I can really benefit from in the long run. So therefore I accomplished one of my short-term goals which was getting a  internship for the summer. It's funny how God blessed me with a job and at the same time helped me accomplish a personal goal of mine. So now if you go to my older post of when I listed my goals goal #4 of my short-term goals has been crossed off. This is only beginning and I have a feeling I will be crossing more of these goals off.....oh by the way pics above are from my job....just in case you couldn't tell.
