2014 Pt.1

2014

The Fiva World Cup was amazing, soccer has finally grown more popular in the U.S this year for some particular reason. The little league World Series was also amazing this year with an outstanding female pitcher and its first all African American champions on the American side. 

2014 has been a different year Joan Rivers passed away.

Mike Brown gets killed ruthlessly by the police in Ferguson, meanwhile Robin Williams commits suicide.

The late great Robin Williams by the way a man that has made us laugh hard for decades just like Joan Rivers.

Rap music continues to get worst, continues to poison our community and our people, it's just bad. 

And in the streets overdoses on herion continues to rise year by year.

Obama is still taking a beating by the republicans and everyone else even while people are working, the housing market hasn't collapsed, and so much more, so much more, the president has done a lot of good for this country and yeah he may have made some mistakes but who on this earth hasn't and could you walk in that man shoes, take all the pressure and hatefulness that he takes. 

It's 2014 and racism still seems to be at an all time high, it's sad, it really is, I don't understand it how we focus on living life and making the best of it and others focused on us and destroying our lives but it goes back and forth cause there are racist blacks just like racist whites. It just hurts cause you never hear about the cops or anyone else accidentally killing a young white male but it happens to us all the time.

I'm off that and still that is why I love football or that is one of the many reasons is that their are people from all different races, cultures, genders, sizes and shapes and ages that participate in the game of football and that has become one of the main reasons for loving football, this is a sport I loved since I could remember.

And in basketball Lebron shocked the world when he said that he was coming home, wow!!!

Oh yeah and in college football this is the first year there is going to be a playoffs and a championship game to determine the true number one team in the country, this is something we been talking about ever since I was a kid and here we go in 2014.

This has definitely been an interesting year with more to talk about personally, socially, and more so stay tuned as we look upon 2014. 

Ohio pt.1

Ohio

Born and raised in Ohio, 

Youngstown, Ohio to be specific, most critics look down on my small little city like its the slums, far from pretty but like its grimy and gritty. Youngstown or Da Yo for short has all kinds of positives in it, around it and about it such as the local university has built a lot of new and nice facilities and not just on campus buildings are being put up but also around the city there are grocery stores and gas stations being built which is cool because this is happening in areas that need these places. There are more small businesses opening up everyday in my city which is another positive that is taking place here in Da Yo, a city so small it forces you to dream big, really big, extra big cause we know that there is a great big beautiful world outside of this little city and to get a glimpse of something better all we got to do is jump on the freeway and head to Cleveland bypassing Akron, Ohio which is a small city just like Youngstown it may be a little bigger, Akron is where the king of the court Lebron James was born and raised to by the way also is the home of Good year tire. 

So we head to Cleveland where you can catch a Cleveland Cavs, Browns or an Indians game. Cleveland has the best downtown in Ohio it gets live and the people of Cleveland are about their fashion. 

When we get through with Cleveland then we head to Columbus, Ohio which houses the most beloved team in Ohio which is The Ohio State buckeyes football team, O state most Ohioans pride and joy. Ohio state school is viewed as one of the best schools in the country. Columbus is our state capital and probably the biggest and nices city in Ohio full of opportunities, this is a city that many Ohioans flee to on a mission to live a better life. 

Ohio the home of many rich and famous people you may have heard of like Rockafella, George Steinbrenner, The Warner bros., Dave Chappelle, Halle Berry, Sara Jessica Parker, and so many more, this state has produced six or seven U.S presidents I don't remember the exact amount at the moment. 

Ohio is home and not as country as most outsiders would think, beautiful in the fall and spring to me, it can get hot in the summer, and cold as all hell in the winter. 

In Ohio I've had some of my greatest days and some of the worst, while watching many of my family members pass away and friends murdered and also sent to prison for a lifetime. 

This state has made me the man I am today and the writer/author I am today, the father that I am today. 

This is where I'm from and still I have more to touch on, more cities to speak about that lay here in this state. So until next time pick up one of my books or all three of the books I got out with another one coming out any day now. 

You see I was born and raised in Ohio. 

The New Deal pt.1

Several times I've heard people making comments about the majority of minorities being democrats and have also questioned the structure of our political system, asking why it is the way that it is? Well, much of the current framing of the government and the American society is because of The New Deal that took place under Franklin Delano Roosevelt terms, he promised the American people a new deal and that is what he gave us.The New Deal was a series of national programs that took place in the United States between 1933-1936 which involved laws passed by congress and presidential executive orders during Roosevelt's first term. The programs were put in place because of the great depression and these programs focused on relief, recovery and reform also known as the 3r's. The New Deal caused a political realignment and the democratic party held the white house for 7 out of 9 political terms from 1933-1969. Republicans split into conservatives and liberals. The conservatives opposed The New Deal saying that it was an enemy of business and growth, while liberals was with some of The New Deal and promised to make it work better. By 1936 the term liberal typically was used for supporters of The New Deal. 1934-1936 began the shift of political parties for African Americans, Roosevelt appointed an unprecedented number of blacks to second-level positions in his administration, these appointees collectively were called the black cabinet, at the same time Eleanor Roosevelt was one of The New Dealers that worked to ensure that blacks received at least 10% of there welfare assistance payments. In 1932 most African Americans voted for the republican ticket that began to change from 1934 and it was The New Deal and it's policies that helped establish a political alliance between blacks and the democratic party that survives up into the 21st century, up into this very day.

Simplified

All that our president has been saying regarding healthcare is that as long as everyone pays at least something on healthcare it’ll benefit us all. It doesn’t matter if it’s 50 cent, 50 dollars, 5 dollars, 25 dollars, 150 dollars more or less, hell 10 cents but something, anything instead of millions of people going into the emergency room every year and not paying nothing, not anything at all. So if everyone pays at least something it’ll make it available for everyone and also cheaper for those that have health insurance. That is just a simple way of looking at it. This country, my country, your country, our country could be an even better country then it is already, it could be way better. There is still an enormous amount of room to grow. There are still many areas within this country that has great potential. The big problem is greed, envy and foolishness also lack of common sense I might add. It’s sad because life is too short, that is why some participate in some of the bad ways because good things often takes some time. As I get older I say I’d rather get to the good things at some point then never at all. We just got to work together, we have to get out of this war and concentrate on making this country reach it’s full potential. There are a small amount of jobs in the urban areas and those jobs aren’t good jobs. It’s not like everyone won’t benefit if the urban areas were doing good because everyone would benefit. You see when the next person is doing well, you and I can’t help but to do well or better at least. This nation should have every street paved, every bridge looking good, abandoned and worn out houses and commercial properties getting rehabbed or knocked down then built back up. Jobs should be plentiful. But that is not the case because we have one side that has no interest in working with the other, one side that is stubborn, rude and ignorant quite frankly. I understand difference of opinions and philosophies but that really has not been the case. You hate to say race has been a big part of this one sides attack but it’s hard not to feel and think that way with a lot of things they’ve done over there on the right. A side that is 99.9% white, and that is also an affiliate of the tea party in which they don’t make any sense at all, any sense at all. The left has been simply trying to spread equality to all and bring people from all walks of life together, give people a choice to be what and who they want to be, and do what they want to do. The left has been trying to take care of our elders and our young people too. I know, I know the right will say something like “but the government can’t take care of people and people should want to take care of their own selves.” People do want to take care of themselves the left is just trying to provide a platform that’ll allow people to have a chance to succeed out in the world. Provide opportunity, ease the tension and stress a little for those that are not rich. Like I’ve said before it’s called socialism for the poor and the middle class, but it’s called corporate for the rich. Who did the rich and the right run to when they hit hard times? You know who it was? It was the government. But they want to bash other people who hit hard times and do the same. I’m not bashing the rich and the right. I’m just stating that if they actually worked together with the people, all people they would actually do even better then they are already. It’s approaching 2014 it is time for many of us to make a change. It’s not the early 1900’s anymore, it’s not the 50’s, or the 90’s even, it is 2013. I’m sure that I could speak on a lot more things but for now I’m just going to leave it at that. This is just a difficult time and some of the difficult issues I spoke of I simplified, or at least I tried to. Keep the faith!

The left

I'm proud of the left side of my country. I'm proud of the left for fighting for the people, fighting for your everyday person. I know that it's been difficult to take care of the people the way the left would like, mostly because of the right's unwillingness to help and or compromise at all. It really is sad to see what the right has become, it use to be a party of equality and bright ideas and stand up people. Now the right is nothing but narrow minded folks, engulfed by money, ruled by money and outside entities that is clueless to the modern times of the world. This world is not just white anymore, it's not even just black and white either. My country this world is a melting pot and I love it, I love colors, colors is what makes a beautiful picture, colors is what makes life a beautiful thing to look at. The left, my hopes for the left side is that they continue to fight for all people, for the well being of us all.

I'm just a liberal

"If more politicians knew poetry and more poets knew politics. I am convinced the world would be a better place to in which live." - JFK, Address Harvard 1956                                                                                  Just a liberal, liberated, I'm a free spirit. Pro-choice as well, that's when the opposites say, "he's such a liberal." May even call me pitiful because I'm flexible. Speaking of pro-choice and flexibility, I believe that everyone should be able to be what they want to be, date and marry whoever they choose too. It's life and thus far this is the only one we know of, so live your life the way that you want to live your life.All of this coming from a straight man who has confidence in himself, I know who I am and so I'm far from being homophobic. I'm humanistic, therefore believing in equal rights for man and woman. If united we stand, how could we possibly fall? Then of course there is money that has caused so much difficulty and to me it's so plain, clear and simple. Like: the better the poor does, the better the middle class will do, a stronger middle class, will make the rich, richer. Despite this common knowledge it's rich corporate for some, for others it's called socialism and communism. Sometimes or in some cases it takes a nation for radical change. But nowadays when your a humanitarian  you'll get looked at strange for being generous within a selfish, often greedy world. Just because a person need help doesn't mean that they are no good. Everyone needs help and has gotten help. The rich has needed the government and need the poor and the middle class. The poor, sick, elderly and middle class need help from any and everyone. I'm just a liberal that's open-hearted and large-hearted as I extend my love to all. Advanced because I'm multi, I'm multicultural, multifaceted, multisided. Believe it or not I'm I have a right side too, with conservative ways. It takes more then one, and many times it takes more then just two or three, more then just me and you. Born blue collar, yet I'm not your average even while living savage, dreaming lavish, cut from a libertarian fabric. My business mind is broad, in fact my general out look on life is broad. Lets just say that I'm broad-minded. Relaxed off of this joint therefore I'm high-minded too. Yep my personality is plentiful and has allowed me to be enlightened. I've had an abundance of up's and down's. I've been close to the top, lived in the middle and I've been poor forever. The struggle has given me the ability to reach the people. I'm for the poor, sick and elderly, I'm just a liberal.
