Morning Motivation

It's 2:37 in the morning. My eyes are a crimson color, back is a little sore, and I'm too tired to formulate comprehensible words. Why am I up? Because my fear of failure looms larger than my desire to sleep. Scripts have not been completed. There are still sponsors who need to be emailed. People have not seen "Blockers Insurance" (posted below). My aspirations create a lot of work for myself and my team, and uncompleted tasks makes this long hard road to prominence a little longer and a little harder.

Yesterday, I received a message on Facebook from a current student at my alma mater, Cheyney University. She thanked me for coming back to my school and giving the students a program entertaining and insightful. Her brief post really humbled me and inspired me to keep working, because people are appreciative. Moments like those push me to reach levels I dreamed of as a kid.

Now I must admit, I am human and I have a few motivational factors that are vain and materialistic. Reaching financial comfort is something I desire. There are a few girls I want to drive past in the Lambo, playing "Forget You" by Cee-Lo Green lol. Most of my goals, however, are from a good place. My mother deserves every thing her heart desires. My belief is that my alma mater deserves a modern-era high profile alumnus to assist in its restoration, and I aspire to be that alum. In order to reach those goals, vain or not, it requires working harder than everyone else. So that's why I'm up...at 3:06 in the morning. Adios.

The Adventures of Captain Save-a-Ho, America's Most Misunderstood Hero

"Dude, hear me out: they gave Batman one, Thor, even Captain America...when's BLANKMAN getting a new film? You know he deserves it." Al Gore, 'We're Just Talking' While the quote was originally written for comedic purposes, I admit to privately celebrating the less popular and promoted superheroes of my time and before. Great protectors such as Colossus (first superhero with a high top fade), The Flash, and my favorite...Meteor Man, were commonly overlooked while guys like Batman and Superman soaked up the limelight. Buried even further below these 'underground' heroes however lies a figure that serves and protects more commonly than any of the previously mentioned figures, and NEVER gets the respect a defender of their credentials. They've saved more people than all of the Justice League members combined and never needed an alter ego; they simply go by the name of "Captain Save-a-Ho".  Though speaking in a mildly facetio...

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...
