It's About How Hard You Can Get Hit, and Keep Moving Forward

I'm probably the biggest loser by saying this, but I'm absolutely in LOOOOVEEEEE with the Rocky Series! I know, I know there are some parts that are cheezy, some may say that Stallone is a bad actor, but the intensity and the whole story behind Rocky is so exciting to me! Rocky 4 (when he fights the the Russian) is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! Take in the training that he goes through!!

Anyhow! The other night I watched Rocky Balboa (the last of the series) and the conversation that he has with his son when he's deciding to fight one last fight really got to me. He said:



Let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves, and lets stop expecting others to feel sorry for us! Always remember that whether you believe you can, or whether you believe that you can't, either way you're right!

The Impact We Have on Others...

The best feeling for me is knowing that I've had an affect on someone else's life. Whether it's with a friend or a complete stranger, we are meant to share what it is we have with others, and continue to pay it forward. This is a message from a close friend of mine about a blog that he wrote:

"Hey I made a post on my blog and I thought you might like to read it:

A New Me
New is probably the wrong adjective to use. I would have to say redefined or updated better suits this Noyze. I recently returned from my three week vacation to Tdot. Everyone kept asking me "how is this a vacation?" I understand why they asked since all I did was party, eat, and dance. But no work, school, or home equals vacation to me. I met sooooooo many people. Networking was definately the T. Plenty of dancers and mad people I've looked up to. The whole trip was just a huge inspiration. Plus i got to chill wit my homegirls and get much needed advice and guidance, as well as go in with the "girls" every nite. LOL we were an organized mess. It was really a hard decision to decide to come back home or stay there but I decided to return since I had already made a bunch of commitments and lined up some opportunities. I figure its for the better because I still have yet to let myself grow in the way I want to before I leave here to pursue more. And that's what this time here is for.

My girl Teasah had a little sit down with me and we just talked about everything we are both aiming to do. She's such an inspiration to me and its a bit of a blessing to receive guidance from someone like her. Just as planned stuff is really starting to fall into place. Steady job Monday - Friday mornings is bomb. Dancing almost every day resulting in paid gigs is boss. Actually enjoying what I'm doing.... there're no words for that. My dance crew is really a cool lil family I love our dynamic, and thers big plans for us....I may not be around to see the end result of many depending on how soon my move happens but at least I get to help as much as I can.

The rest of this year I'm really going to focus on me. You may say "isn't that a little selfish?" No bitch its not. I feel better about cussing at you 'cause I know that nobody actually reads this. I'm done worrying about doing this and that for other people or worrying how what I do will affect them. I'm living with what they do, so they can return the sentiment. I realize now that I have to be more patient with the people that really do matter, and just take the fakes for face value. For those that do matter, don't take my being blunt as an offense. It mostly means I'm mad comfortable with you so I'm not going to sugar coat shit. I'm not one to really care what people say about me, because if they gonna hype about something and they always bin a bitch then hey, its to be expected. On the flip side, if they a sweet biscuit to my face and act real down then turn 'round an chat chat chat....not even going to check for you again. Of course I'm always going to find my share of mix up, but what's the flight without a little turbulence? Perfect was never fun
