Dreaming Again......

I'm dreaming again....this time about running away....

do you ever feel like the place you inhabit is not made for you. Deep down inside you feel that its another place out there for you, a place where you can be free. Be yourself.....no pain....no sorrow.....no tomorrows......time doesn't exist in this place....neither does death....life is all there is....

Its beautiful. You should see it....this is my euphoria..my paradise...my nirvana...this isn't fiction or a fairy tale...this is where I am when I'm sleeping....when I'm dreaming.....but never when I'm awake.

This is intransia.

The world that I live in when I'm awake is a world of sorrow, hatred, and injustice.....there's beauty, fairness, and love within as well but not enough to sustain it from its own destruction.Maybe this is the nature of it....maybe I'm not from here because I don't feel like everyone else...I don't think or see things like everyone else....that doesn't mean that everyone else perspective/perception is wrong. It just means that mine is different...

Nothing more...nothing less....there is not a need for others to agree with me or share the same thoughts...just accept me for who I am and how I feel.


I don't expect to be understood by everyone... I could care less what anyone thinks


I want freedom...true freedom......and I will have it soon....

Heartbreak Chronicles Part 4: The Killer

If there's no hope just straight tell me..
Kill me now without any regard for our friendship
Maybe I need to die again to realize again...the mistake I've made

How could I give u the power to put a bullet to my head... for without you I am better off dead.


End my misery by telling me its over. Who knows if I'll survive the shot..
I've bled before but not like this.....
Would have pulled the trigger myself but I've realize that alive you've brought me bliss.
Now you hold the decision to pull the trigger...
This isn't Russian roulette
But the 6 chamber pistol of regret...
And as I sweat not only tears, the fear is not in dying but lying here crying

knowing that the one who was suppose to love me is now the one to murder me..............

The Simplest Necessity........Becomes

Where did the love go?

And why didn’t it stay?

What are we chasing that’s real compared to what we’re chasing away?

It seems that our hearts have become resistant to the one true thing that’s vital to our growth. The simplest necessity becomes the most complex luxury that very few benefit from obtaining and keeping for long. Its seems that love started off as the most tranquil desire only to end up becoming the most painful affliction. So what is it that allows us to fall into a deep state of bliss and then in an instant change how we feel because of fear. The fear based upon the assumption that the love we gain will someday be lost…..traumatically….again…..

Yet we don’t know……

We allow ourselves to suffer thinking about what isn’t there instead of what’s here today, very much alive and in our face…..


I can’t make you change your mind if its already been made and I can no longer overexert myself on proving what’s real.

Time will tell.

The Love Vibration


The integral part of life that’s been missing lately is what we need indeed. Humans have been infected by a parasite, a parasite that feeds on its victims until they become hollow and soul-less, empty cavities with just a shell. It has the nature of a virus that plaques many.

What can be done about this epidemic of hatred?

There’s no longer a vibration. The light that once existed is slowly vanquishing. Could we really thrive, let alone survive within perpetual darkness? What has become of us? We’ve become heartless without gain, placing strain on ourselves and others for the purpose of “advancement” The “hatred complex” has taken over our hearts, our minds, and sadly our lives. Opinions are no longer opinions. They’re no longer statements of our individualism but simply attachments to our ego.

“I hate you”
“I hate her”
“I hate him”
“I hate them”

“You hate yourself”

We are all the same don’t you get it? The same blood runs through our veins. The same thoughts occupy our minds. The same unlimited potential runs through each and every single one of us. So why HATE? What do you gain from hating someone who shares the same capabilities as you? Are we not talented and valuable the same? No? Whose opinion is that anyway? Exactly! Yours. You become what you believe and if you don’t take yourself to greater places from where you’re standing then perhaps the only thing holding you back is yourself. Destroy that self doubt and fear that you feel from seeing others achieve greatness for you too can achieve that same greatness. You must love yourself like there’s no greater love.

You must love others the same.
Release the virus of hate from your mind, body, and soul.

Take the antidote……..

HeartBreak Chronicles Part 3: The Lost

Without You Why Do I feel Lost?
With you Why Do I Feel The Same.

I've become someone else in order to please you

I have to regain myself.

I've lost much more than I have gained
and experienced much pain than I can explain

Was the act of loving you in vain?

If not, then what was I to learn from this turmoil.....this heartbreak........this pain.

The Garden Within

The beauty of Nature. The tranquility of something simple yet divine. I've came to a realization that both inner and outer suffering is driven by both inner and outer complexities. True Genuis resides in simplicity. Anything considered to be trivial or senseless, Mr. Carter is going to stay away from. Everyday I'm learning more about myself from my experiences and interactions with the world. I see and read about things that go on in this world; things that are unjust, irrational, or just plain idiotic. I also realize that I have to change my thoughts within in order to change my world without. Life is.....Life and somewhere along the line between birth and now, I've lost focused on what the true meaning of life is. I've put too much emphasis on the vines and weeds of the outer world, forgetting that all along my inner world contained a garden, perfect in nature, aesthetically sound. It feels good to just relax and breath without worry or fear. Its feels wonderful to be Me, to express how I feel and know that I am a beautiful creation.............

and so are you....

Transcendence




Spaced Out. Dreaming. Floating.
Outside This Atmosphere of Earth
In Search...
Of Something More Inspiring Than This...
For This Environment No Longer Offers Me Bliss

I've Realized the Dilemma to Rationalize
Chance after Chance

Only to realize that the "other side"
holds the key to my "advance"

No Longer a Need For Reasoning.

{Just Go.....) whispers my conscience in my ear
And as I stand here, what appears before me is the light to soar me
to places beyond....


places foreign yet considered to be fond.

Now some may call this insane, but crazy is to think that "normal" resides on this "earthly plane"

And as I arise, my eyes peer upward, never to face the downward spiral

Again......

Heartbreak Chronicles Part 2: The Healing




Shit happens. Right?

So why is it that I'm still hurting from what happen 10 months ago on that dreadful day when she said, " I need space, its not you its me." I realize that since that day I'm became a self destructive emotional wreck but not many would know because I never show it. Initially I've tried to get "her" to change her mind. I've begged, I've pleaded, I apologized, and blamed myself. I became less of a person, less of a man to make "her" more of a woman. I eventually said f*ck it and moved on after witnessing certain things that brought the "I need space syndrome" to light. I've seen "her" with the guy, even had a face to face confrontation with "him." I've felt betrayed, used, and hurt from this experience. They say that the amount of time you've invested in building a relationship that collapsed is the same amount of time it takes to rise from the the collapse back to a foundation again. I know it wont take me 3.5 years to get it together but from this I've learned to take one day at a time and if someone comes along, maybe I will cautiously give them a chance but until then.....


I've become heartless

The Gift

We hear it all the time so I'll say it again

Life is a precious gift...the one thing that's temporal but also unappreciated the same. I'm discovering everyday that some things that we put emphasis and importance on really don't matter..Do you wonder what you would do if you knew you only had one day to live? Could you accomplish all you wanted to do in one day if that was all you had? What about a week? A Month? 6 months? A year? The fact is we don't know and because we don't know, we must make the most of everyday while we are here.

When you hear people say to live everyday like its your last, some people adhere to it while with others it goes in one ear and out the other but the reality is tomorrow's not promised for anyone and you wouldn't want your final days to be those of regret now would you? Of course not! So if this be the case why continue to work at that lousy job you hate, endure unnecessary stress and headaches, stay in an abusive relationship, or worry about things or people who don't benefit you. I can go on forever but the basis of what I'm saying is that
We should seize every opportunity that gives us fulfillment, brings us happiness, and makes us smile. We should never procrastinate or feel like we have plenty of time left to make things right, to get ourselves together, to seek fulfillment, and most important of all, to be happy.. The perfect time for these things is not tomorrow..... but now. Right now! We must be aware of the moment of now and embrace it because this may be..... the last moment we have.......
to right the wrongs,
to tell someone you love them,
to fulfill all that you desire....

"Life is precious through the eyes of those who see that the end of it is near"

I dedicate this post to my cousin Debbie.... may you truly be at peace in a much better place.........

The Idiot's Idiom



A language spoken by many yet understood by few
Senseless nonsense from “robots” without a conscience
Devious smiles and those that pose to be harmless.

Deceitfulness is comedy
For I laugh at the motive of those who instill harm on me

Hostile environments created by those without a higher sense
Overlabored and Underfavored
We now see where their “desire” went

For they’ve digressed.
From feeling that progress
Was to stab one another in the back

From what I see….

Integrity took a vacation and never came back.
But what truly remains a fact is that

What’s given will surely come back

The universal law, you can’t run from that
The universal law, you can’t run from that……

The Inspiration of a Rockstar



It's seems people have yet to understand what a true rockstar is..........While people make it a trend to be like a rockstar, the ones that are emulated make it a lifestyle. Its what they identify with; that ability to express themselves as rebels to rules and order, categorized as misfits but simply Ministers who preach the gospel of Rock and Roll.

A rockstar is more than a coke snorting, skinny jean wearing renegade who does whatever they want whenever they want....

NO!!

It's more to it than that although that's a description of some but a rockstar is simply about being oneself and being comfortable in one's own skin. It's about the energy of a million fans chanting your songs sourrounded by a mosh pit of renegade followers who go insane the moment they hear the riff of an electric guitar screaming through the speakers.

A rock star is simply about being...never about impressing.

People never understood the fitted screen tees on 80's rockers or the skinny denim pressed against the pencil frame of your favorite indie frontman. It was simply cool to be a rockstar, not because they were different, but because they never gave a damn what anyone thought and although many of them were misunderstood, the music they created made sure the message was comprehended: That they were the baddest muthaf*ckers on earth.

"You will never really understand the muthaf*cking Rockstar I am"

Mental Breakdown: The Chaos behind Conformity

It's the same old bullshit and the same old folklore. Something has to give. Chaos and disorder……who made these rules? While I won’t make excuses or complain about the ways of this world…. I realize that something just isn’t right with it…..well its nothing wrong with the world per say but rather the unjust thinking and philosophies of mankind that creates endless conflict and suffering within it.

Does anyone truly observe what is happening anymore…… it seems like everything has become a “game”. Sometimes I wish I can remove myself completely from this “system” of the way things are. Maybe I’m a bit of an idealist here or some may say that my thinking is unrealistic or illogical but what is it about my thinking that makes it anymore different from the world’s thinking other than the fact that my thinking promotes freedom and the awareness of one’s true self, not the artificial one created by labels, luxury badges, and monetary spending.

A Net worth is how we’re valued in this society but are we not valuable BEFORE the obtainment of monetary wealth?


Sure I have more of a laid back approach to life and yes I do feel that I’m still a victim, slave or puppet to many things as well but what better time than now for you and I to free ourselves:

1.) To free ourselves from being victims of our own as well other people’s destructive thinking.
2.) To free ourselves from a system that use and exploit people for its own benefit
3.) To free ourselves from conformity for in the words of the late John F. Kennedy, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.’’


Whether voluntary or not, we as people have given up our peace, our identity, our happiness, and our joy in exchange for frustration, sadness, and pain.

…This is the slavery that I am talking about. The bondage or obligation to someone or something that does us more harm than good. The jobs that we despise and hate waking up every morning to go to, the creditors and bill collectors that we’ve sold our souls to, and the corporations and finance companies that we’ve given our last dollars to in exchange for products and services that we really don’t need nor want for long because the desire for it fades as something new and exciting is bound to replace it.

Ah! And did I mention the status quo lifestyle of keeping up with the joneses to impress others as well as gain their approval. I can go on and on and yes, people are very much aware of all the bullsh*t and folklore this world contains but what’s really being done about it? It’s like we’ve given up and just conformed because a lot of us feel like its easier being someone else instead of ourselves.


We must break free.

Adversity

Adversity builds character…………I never understood that til I had a conversation with a dear friend of mine about the challenges of everyday life. Some days are truly rough and you begin to ask yourself, "will it ever get better?" You hear all the time people telling you to hang in there and that the small situations do not justify the "big" picture. But what is in fact, the big picture? In the grand scheme of things, how is the constant wave of un necessary stress and aggravation from others justified. It’s like a bully that keeps torturing you, eating away at what little peace you have until there’s nothing left… You begin to feel one of two ways. You either feel like giving up allowing it or you fight back to reclaim what has been taken from you. Sometimes you have to show people that you’re not to be f*cked with…

Some people don’t want to see you happy, more so because they’re unhappy with themselves. Misery sure do loves company. Sometimes I ask myself if what I’m going thru now in my life is preparation for something bigger. Maybe it is. Who knows what the future beholds. I know that am strong and I can overcome this. I will admit it does at times seem overwhelming but I feel in my heart that I will overcome this. The reality is people are going to be and probably remain the way they are whether its unjust or unfair. I just realize that I have to remove myself from these situations and/or people that provide confusion and chaos because honestly a peace of mind is a wonderful thing and mine is not to be f*cked with.

Heartbreak Chronicles Part 1: The Lesson










Heartbreak. What can I say about it. It happens to the best of us. The inevitable depression. I've learned that I should no longer blame myself. Everything isnt always meant to be. Some relationships prosper while others wither away. This was just one relationship that wasnt meant to be the way my heart intended. What's funny is that we as people will never learn the consequences of our actions until it's too late. It's easy to feel from one's own perspective that we were the victims receiving the short end of the stick. Sometimes it's self gratifying to impose that the victimizer is our worst enemy when in fact the victimizer can be our greatest teacher. So sure, I've had my heart broken or rather my expectations unmet but what didnt kill me only made me stronger and its gonna take the might of a million men for her or any woman for that matter to break it again.................

Right Now Is Always Right On Time

There are days where sometimes you feel like giving up...the sorrow of an unforgettable past and the fear of an unknown tomorrow. You feel trapped between two periods of time unable to grasp what you have been privileged to experience.....which is TODAY!

There is a saying,

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why they call it the present.

Although people and situations may have left us hurt, and we've hurt others as well, we can not change the past. We can only become better people today.. I've learned that one moment is all that matters. The only thing of importance. Not the moment of yesterday, even tomorrow but the ever present moment of....NOW!!

So don't cha worry bout tomorrow, how you feel right now....don't worry about yesterday, aint everything ok right now


Right now is always right on time...........

Hip Hop is in a state of Emergency. Artists are no longer passionate, creative, or stimulating. It's a new day, a new era, but not a spec of new inspiration. But....
all is not lost within the stale realm of "hip hip". Artists are emerging once again. Creativity is coming back.Did these things really leave? Maybe we failed to take notice to the host of artists out there that actually have something to say. Artist who all along were the ones we were searching for. Yes Hip Hop, as least one aspect of it has become a redundant comedy show but in no way,shape, or form is it dead. Some say it's missing; others tend to think it's alive and well, a living and breathing force that's found in all of us. A reflection of the people. Some of us dance, some of us snap, some of us socially conscience, some of us socially ignorant but regardless of who we are individually, the fact remains that we are all the same........and despite our differences or whatever state you may think hip hop is in, I still love it.. Hell I always will. This is my comedic take on the state of hip hop.

Modern Day Metropolis



Beyond cloudy skies.......this metropolis lies...
Have we not yet awaken to the order of domination;
the one world order of mankind's enslavement.
The voice of the voiceless.
no longer free to make choices
we must rage against the machine
Behold, for what lies upon this globe of insanity is the control of humanity
and what remains of a circuit implanted populace is
a modern day apocalypse
disguised as
a modern day metropolis

JUSTICE- STRESS




A BAND OF MISFITS CAUSING DESTRUCTION AND WRECKING HAVOC TO ANYTHING AND ANYONE THAT STEPS FOOT IN THEIR PATH.......YOU DONT WANT TO RUN INTO THESE GUYS IN THE STREET.

One of the most talented artist of the hip hop genre has decided that he wants to name his upcoming album 808's and heartbreak. A different direction might I add from the scholastic theme of his previous albums. Mr west has also decided that he wants to sing in autotune as well. While not intitially accepted in the hip hop community as a common kanye west single, Love Lockdown quickly rose to the top of the downloads charts as the # 1 , yes #1 downloaded song on itunes. Yes haters, Mr West is giving you all something to blog or hate about all over again

EGO: MANKINDS FALSE IDENTITY

"If we're ever going to become better people, we have to put our ego's to the side and our hearts to the forefront" -unknown


what is it about man's desire for the top position: To strive for greatness is essential but to strive to obtain the top spot is idiotic. What comes from from being #1. The scrutiny. The pressure. The stress of maintaining a spot that's not meant to be held onto. Being #1 is temperal, someone will always be willing to take over your position. Once you obtain it, you would then have to guard it with your life. What kind of fulfillment can you really get out of being at the top alone other than the stroking of the ego?

Let's stop playing king/queen of the hill and help others share the mountain.

Free Your Mind


You don’t have to stress no more……….It’s all mental………..things are only what you perceive them to be. You have to take a deep breath and relax and realize that you’re situation is just a situation. People are the way they are because they’re “victims” of a system meant to keep them enslaved to corporations, finance companies, etc. They truly are genuine people mislead. Don’t allow their inner frustrations to get to you. They’re just crying out for help but don’t know how to express it productively. The world we live in is a reflection of our thoughts. People are constantly lead by fear and the need to be accepted. Right now everyone’s or at least most people’s mental state is worry and frustration. How am I going to do this? I got to get this loan to pay off this, I need this amount of money to do this, gas is too damn high, the economy is in a recession. Negativity, Negativity, Worry, Worry, Fear, Fear, Frustration, Frustration. Just allow yourself for one minute to exist in a state of no worry, want, need or frustration. Say to yourself that I am free, I feel free, I feel wonderful. I have no worries, pain, or wants. Money, Status, or physical things do nothing for me spiritually. These things are an illusion and do not define who I am. I’m no longer a prisoner to financial institutions, consumer debt, and the need to conform to what society considers “normal”

Release yourself………….float beyond the clouds into an atmosphere of comfort and peace
It starts with your mind…free your mind of all stress, worry, fear, lack, frustration,

Free your mind

Words of Wisdom


Keep pushing…….adversity is only a test of character…….. people got used to walking in a straight line. The only thing that changed was that a maze was placed in front of our path…………we only need to find a way out these “challenging” times. Stay focus” and “know” what needs to be done to get you through the maze. You have a mind that’s completely functional, which means you have a solution to every problem you encounter. Get rid of distractions. Clear your mind of clutter and useless junk, only then will you hear the voice inside that will lead you to where you need to go……

( I KNOW I may sound like yoda right now but I am serious.)

All answers are found within.

Discipline my brother……….
Discipline. Discipline. Discipline.
