Random tidbits from my stint as an...
1MAR2021; 1920, MON It's been a New York minute since my last post in the designated military community of this site, and like the living legend NaS (sic) said on "N.Y. State of Mind", off of his debut album from '94, "It's time...I don't know how to start this s**t" tho." I was the designated radio guy for my platoon for a hot minute and I suppose that that's as decent as any intro to a fairly random piece.

Miscellaneous oxymorons
26FEB2021; 1220, FRI It's another R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday in these uncertain and unprecedented times, and I figured that I might as well as "shoot my shot" at the newest "community" on this site for my 56th blog post. With any luck, this will be my very first "staff pick", or featured piece, if you will.

Tryna "twerk a movement..."
19FEB2021; 2205, FRI Dear Famo, First and foremost, sincerest condolences regarding your fellow Texans that are now the dearly departed thx to sheer incompetence on account of their gov't. I'm dreading the all but inevitable time of having to explain such odious obtuseness, and asinine absurdity to my daughters someday soon.

"A thug changes; and love changes..."
13FEB2021; 2245, SAT The titles of this 54th piece by me were taxed from the end of the last verse of the living legend, NaS's highly favored initial cut, "The Message", on his classic sophomore album, It Was Written ('96). I figured what better way to begin a post about the BFF I had since well before I was assigned to Echo 2/54 INF (Infantry); and for about a decade or so afterwards?

Nebuchadnezzar Guidelines
8FEB2021; 2245, MON I'm just jamming out to J. Cole's new(?) playlist on Tidal, and I randomly realized that it's been a New York minute since I've posted an actually original list; and after a three-peat in The Swamp "community", I figure why not a change of pace? So, "let's kick the ballistics"!

The great "VAXN8" debate
5FEB2021; 2145, FRI As I sit, listening to one of my fav local producers in my basement on this quiet RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday evening, I have come to the indissoluble realization that I can no longer play the sidelines on the great debate of our time: Whether or not so-called minorities ought to get the new vaccines. The way I see it, I can either continue to turn a blind eye to the controversy and pray that everything works out somehow; or I can act with a sense of purpose and posterity in mind.

How and why I unintentionally voted for a woman...
3FEB2021; 2145, WED Being that it's Black History Month, and considering the many sacrifices that were made so that people who have my dark complexion and whatnot can vote, I figure what better time to finally write and submit this post that's been sitting in my drafts since right around Election Day in November. I only had the title, subtitle, and featured image selected, but I digress.

From a Pan-African socialist to Pan-African nationalist
31JAN2021; 2155, SUN Considering that Black History Month officially kicks off in the next couple hours or so, I figure what better time than now to reflect on some of my more radical ideals and such; as well as some arguably legitimate grievances. According to the ancient West African philosophy of Sankofa, looking back into the past is one of the best, and only, ways to shape our futures with posterity (subsequent generations) in mind.

Where the rubber...
25JAN2021; 0035, MON Pardon the wordplay, but I've been pretty much just jamming out to the living legend, J. Cole for the past couple days. I knew that he had an extensive catalog, and I'm really glad that I chose him to accompany me on the past couple adventures.

Dads, daughters, and derringers
24JAN2021; 0705, SUN "If I could rule the world, everyone would have a gun/In the ghetto of course, when giddy-upping on their horse..."- Wyclef Jean of The Fugees back in '96. Switching gears from the debate on the merits of "free money", I'm all but immediately reminded of the adage, "Free men own firearms; not slaves."

Personal brushes with death
Please believe that I was supposed to be having my date with Destiny and meet a tragic fate many times over. These are just the times that I can recollect and/or was more or less informed of by others with first hand knowledge of the situations.

My 3.5 hrs as a professional mover
30DEC2020; 1150, WED Some of you (those friends/fam that can see my location on your phones) may or may not be wondering why I'm sitting at this lake, jamming out instead of finishing up my orientation and whatnot. I most def put in more than a few prayer requests and had no small measure of luck making it as far as I did with the company that just let me go.
