NEW BLOG!

[ECCENTRIC SOULS]

i had to blog about this...

MICHAEL VICK GOES TO THE EAGLES!!! are you sh*ttin' me?! this is far too good to be true! i gotta get that jersey yo.

wanna laugh a little?

let's be real

we have some f*cked up ideas of what we should be looking for in a partner. now there are those who could careless about settling down. [AND THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU.] but for the others. people spend so much time looking at physical features. financial security. and sexual prowess. those are all good things to possess but we get caught up in those 3 things and forget the simplicity of compatibility. compassion. romance. affection. intelligence. positivity. confidence. humility. the list goes on and on. and there are so many different combinations of such traits within a single person out there. but again. we get caught up in those mega 3 from earlier. and often times we, whether individually, culturally, or as a generation begin to compare ourselves to the standards that we understand the opposite sex [or same sex if that is your thing] find attractive. so we end up becoming walking clones in appearance and personality. [this jerkin thing is pretty intense in los angeles right now] but anyways. i think we need to lose this whole notion of wanting everyone to be what we find attractive in the opposite sex [or the same sex] because when that happens it becomes an overwhelming population of clones. no originality. for example: on Twitter it seems to be a popular trending topic for males and females to bash each other or speak on how they want the opposite sex to be and most a friend of mine just so happened to be "retweeted" [learn your twitter lingo] and they said they wished more men showed that chivalry wasn't dead. and being a male i don't agree with that. it's not dead. but it is now a secret art so to speak. and to be honest i feel it means more for a young lady when she comes across someone who understands chilvary to be so. but if you go around spreading the word about it then it's only going to become that much more difficult for you to separate the men from the boys. chilvary is more than just opening doors. walking on the outside. standing until a female is seated. removing a hat in the presence of a woman. it's the notion behind such acts that define these acts of chilvary. the appreciation for her and females in general as well as the protection he is willing to provide. but these are just my thoughts. time will tell.

aye!!!

GO HERE RIGHT NOW!!!

i mean though...

"believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear."

-somebody real [lol]

i think that's the truest statement ever! if you see something. you may not know the whole story. don't assume. don't go by what you THINK you know. because that little piece of info could be the link that throws your assumption all off and you end up looking like a fool [i've been victim of that myself lol] and then believing what you "hear"...come on! let's grow up yea? i mean we all fall victim to it at times. especially the closer to home. the harder it hits. but real talk. ain't nothing wrong with clarifying things you've seen or heard if it gets to you that much. then if you find out someone is lying, you know what's up. and you have the right to form your own opinion about the parties involved. i'm speaking on this because i'm becoming a victim of these random rumors. i mean it's no big sh*t really. just some people saying i said somethings that i didn't. it doesn't affect my life at all BUT just like everybody else i hate finding out people are putting words in my mouth. and i hate it even more when people approach me like they JUST KNOW i said it. and then the folks putting the words in my mouth...you can choke on it yo. wtf yo. really?! why do you need to put my name in some bullsh*t it doesn't need to be in? i try to keep to myself best i can. all i'm saying is i don't have time for this bull. you can live your life without pulling my name out of the air. so if you're reading this and it's you. stop. thank you.

pool party!

so i was listening to this beautiful neo soul playlist i put together and i got to thinking. if i could picture the perfect soundtrack for my ideal pool party. it would be this. right now i'm listening to Dwele - I Think I Love U. and before that it was Anthony Hamilton - Point Of It All. i can't wait until i'm able to do that. it's going to be so much fun! well anyways. that was my thought right now because i'm waiting until this food baby disappears to hit the pool. it's been a beautiful sunday and i just wanted to share this thought. i hope everyone else is enjoying their day when they read this.

tossin n turnin

lately i've been having the worst sleep ever! if it's not these horrible crazy dreams. i'm tossin n turnin and barely gettin any good rest. i can't really figure out what the deal is. i got the regular life stuff like everybody else AND i've been playing ball regularly as my little escape so i can take my mind off of things. [it's been a great workout too :)] plus i've been hitting the pool regularly. another bomb work out. all of that should give me some good sleep yea?! that's what i'm saying! but no such luck :( at the end of the day i just wanna get some good sleep. that changes everything. but i figure i just need to get back into relaxing to some good music more often as well. [i want to get a new ipod but them craps are costing kidneys now...!!!] so i recently made sure i got all my NEO SOUL artist albums: Musiq. Raheem DeVaughn. Dwele. Anthony Hamilton. Erykah Badu. India Arie. Lauryn Hill. [much love and thanks to Perfect and Thump! you guys helped me oh so very much!] so now when i get some time to relax. ima have that playlist on shuffle and see if that doesn't help. but anyhow. it's friday so i figure i can chance staying up until some ridiculous hour where i pass out from being so tired. [look, i'm just tryna get a good night's rest :(] right now i'm listening to this new Sammie mixtape and it's pretty legit. i'm a florida boy myself so i got nothing but love. but i've also been a fan from jump. check it out yourself. it's a good lil listen: Sammie - Swag&B

i feel you Kanye

i feel this way about life...

no more "N" word

a lil about me

so lately i've been thinking about confidence. it was a topic in a conversation i was having earlier as well. and i lack a good amount of that. [confidence that is] i'm trying to recover from a life time of low self esteem. confidence is attractive. and lack there of is just as equally unattractive. and at times i fall into that trap. it's just been a bit more difficult to rise out of the years and years of low self esteem. i mean i have been developing a greater sense of self worth. but i constantly find myself comparing myself to others that in my eyes i see as being more successful. it kind of doubles as my weird method of motivation/inspiration. but when i let it get to me. it can become one of those unattractive personality traits. i guess it really affects me in a relationship now that i think about it. because that's where i'm most vunerable. speaking to my lady about all my worries, concerns, issues, problems, etc. and i feel like not having a good sense of self worth can become unattractive to her. *sighs* the last thing i need is some cocky mofo coming in and stealing my woman all because i beat myself up too much lol. well this is my blog. and i testify that i. Mychael Brown. will march on with a greater sense of confidence and maintain a mature level of humility as i continue on towards accomplishing my goals. i recognize that along my quest for success, i have overlooked and often downplayed the many goals i have accomplished and continue to accomplish along the way. NO MORE! i am becoming a man. not the man you want me to be. or expect me to be. but the man i am destined to be. the man my father, grandfather, uncle, great grandmother and all who in my life who have passed have helped raise me to be. and although they are unable to stand beside me as i ascend my steps of triumph i know that their support from above will act as my wings of glory. [watch out now. i'm just getting started ;)]

After today...

...i don't think i'm going to be the same anymore. not in a bad way though. just different. super different. i hope all the "me" searching i've been dping has been paying off. i guess now time is about to show me. to be honest i'm kind of scared. but fear is a good thing sometimes right? lol i hope so. d*mn. like it hasn't kicked in. but its kind of starting to you know? i've kind of been seeing this coming for a while. well feeling it at least. but i tried to continue to put my best foot forward and give a valiant effort. at times i'm sure i didn't give enough. and of course now i apologize for that. but you live. then you learn. just make sure you appreciate the people and relationships you have in your life. every one might not last forever. but while you're there. make it count. so you won't look back like it was a waste of time. i know it wasn't for me. i've come a pretty long way if i say so myself. *sighs* this is honestly new for me. it's been a while. it'll be interesting to see what actually happens now...

...but on another note...



i'm officially a bartender now! well i graduated from bartending school. waiting to go through the job placement process and see what happens with that. i'm very excited. but also super scared. but more so excited lol. i'll lt you guys know how that goes. especialy when i get placed so you can come have a drink and say hi. i'm sure my shifts would be lovely if i could spend them having beautiful conversations with you beautiful people :)

BLACKsummers' night

"if i can't have you let love set you free to flap your pretty wings..."

-Maxwell [that song has so many powerful lyrics!]

nowadays. when people interview Maxwell they ask him what inspired such an album as his latest release. and he says his extended vacation [lol] is what inspired it. this trilogy he's releasing over the next 3 years are just the most intimate pages of his diary. "i came wrong. you were right. transformed your love into a lie. baby believe me. i'm sorry i told you lies. i turned day. into night. slept til i died a thousand times. i should've showed you. better nights. better times. better days. and i miss you more and more!" intense. i'm sure that's why it's selling so well. but i remember him mentioning how his relationships were in different countries with different women. women who didn't know he was [because they were unaware of his United States success] and how he was given the ability to just live and be and do. make mistakes. and love. and learn. all naturally. in the privacy of his own little world. and at this point in my life i'm really feeling that. i feel the desire to run away to my own little world and become a man. if that makes sense. i just want the ability to live and experience what life has in store for me. so if you're reading this. and you feel the same. let's run away. we can create our own reality and live just the way we ought to be. in love. but only when you're ready. just know that i'm always looking forward to running into you so don't be afraid to speak.

you got the wrong one man...

So............................you decided to arrest the man seen next here standing next to Oprah [that's such a genuine hug. they look like good friends. they definitely do lunch at least.]...proof of address. absolute compliance with all request. the Harvard Professor. the man that President Barack Obama referred to as a close friend. and then you won't apologize?! better yet, you go all over the place telling everyone about how nothing will ever squeeze an apology out of you?! [lmao!!] let's just say "you picked the wrong one!" maybe you can get away with that bull in the hood. [as bad as that sounds] but this wasn't a smart choice Officer James "Jim" Crowley. [smh] you got the wrong one dude. the wrong one. [will this ever go away?]
