MY WORK, MY DREAMS

ENTER MY MIND


HERE I AM

 

 

Here I am a few years ago. I am now 30, I am a father and a Chef by trade but a dreamer by design. I have brought to you a portion of who I am. I hope you enjoy it. Below is me and my two cousins, I am the tallest one.

 

 

Last night as I visited a friend and talked about what I do and what I see at work I realized something. For those of you that don't know me I am a Chef but for the time being I work in an Emergency Room. So I know what it is like to watch someone die. I know what it is like to look into the eyes of a lifeless body and I began to think about what I have been through and I realized something about my life. Even though I have been through a lot, from losing friends to almost losing my life and freedom I am still a dreamer. I remember being slammed into a brick wall by a cop who said I was violating curfew. I can still feel the barrel of an officer’s gun pressed at the back of my head and I can hear the bullet advance into the barrel. Every day I think about my friends who didn't make it this far, friends who will never see the light of day ever again. Never hold their children as free men and inside I die a little. I can't express how helpless I feel not being able to help them but at this point no one can. Even though I went through this I wouldn't trade my past but I hope that my little cousins do not walk my path. My life was one long nightmare for the longest time but it made me who I am today. Life is fleeting, we are only allowed so many years and I will not waste any of them behind bars and away from my family and friends. I love my freedom and now that I have grown up I finally have it. So guys out there if someone stares at you take it in stride it's a curse being jocked by everyone. Don't sweat it because no one fights anymore and walks away today someone always dies and for a look; it's not worth it. Think about your family, you woman, your friends. Your life isn't just yours because when you’re gone it affects a lot of people and you have a responsibility to those who love you not to waste your Life. You owe it to yourself to live.

MY JACKIE

My Jacklyn drew this for me. It's a picture of her underneath the stars.

 

In life I have learned to give thanks for each

morning I am given. To grasp every moment of

life and to cherish each dream and memory.

To my Jacklyn It is my hopes that she will reach

all of her dreams. I am hopeful the she will realize the greatest

gift of this life is her family who will always love her.

MEN AND WOMEN

Let’s have a Talk

 

 

                In movies or in the days of the past young boys and men were to expect a talk from the Father of the girl or woman they wanted to date. In my house it’s me. Some people might say it’s not my place to put my nose into the love life of my sister but I say that my sister’s happiness is my business. Throughout my life I have gone through and suffered many pains o due to the foolishness of my youth to the point where death was a true possibility but all that cannot compare to the pain I feel when my sister is hurt. I would gladly suffer the pains of my past to keep on tear from washing away her smile. As her brother I want someone to look at my sister and see that she is a beautiful inside and out. I want a stand up guy to want to spend his life making my sister happy and I don’t think that is too much to ask for. Today is August 8th in the year two thousand and four almost twenty-six years after the day my sister was born. Eight pounds and I can’t remember how many inches but that day and every day since until the day that I leave this world my sister is and has been beautiful. So I know I might be stepping over boundaries or infringing on her freedom and I admit that but it’s because I love her and I just want her to be happy. 

 

My mom wanted to know if the people we are both seeing right now since they do not get along would affect how my sister and are. I think she is scared that our relationship will suffer but it is impossibility. I love my sister with all of my heart and there is no force in this world including death that would change that. 

 

 

 

           

 

Just because you can.

 

It’s easy to cheat on your girlfriend and or spouse if you’re smart. You can sleep with whomever and how many ever woman your heart desires. You see when women are in love foolishly they trust us to keep it in our pants. When I am out with friends I admit there are beautiful women everywhere but when I see my baby, my heart smiles. When I look into her eyes and we are intertwined in bed and I wake up to her wrapped in my arms; I feel alive. I see my future and hers becoming one, our lives becoming one and from that I see our children. I see myself waking up next to her every morning and falling asleep with her every night. Some girl from a bar or the street can give me a night but my angel is giving me a lifetime of happiness and making my dreams come true every time she tells me she loves me. I admit to being an ass in the past because I was a boy chasing tail but now I am a man living with my dream. I have found the woman whom I want to spend my life with, the woman whom shall give me the family I have longed for and I want to give her and only her myself, my life and my love. I want you guys out there to think about the women in your lives and what they give to you, the feelings, the laughter and the joy. I want you to think about how you feel laying next to them each and every night and then think about someone else lying in your place. Just because you can cheat and get away with it doesn’t mean you should. Just because you can get some random ass doesn’t mean it worth risking your entire future, losing the love of your woman. Just think about that before you slip and break your woman’s heart, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I WALK IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, THOUGH I FEAR NO MAN

 

My lunch with death

 

By THE CYSSKO KIDD

 

Before me sat a man not quite like me but not dramatically different either. He had eyes like mine but there were every color and they were colorless. Deep with feelings and emotion and in them I saw the souls of my loved ones whom are no longer with me and my heart and I long to see and touch them. To tell them how I miss them and how I wish that they could be here to see what a bright future I am trying to carve out for myself. The man before me is death yet we are similar. We both have jobs to do, ours hands marked by life and our work but his eyes are more sullen. He is remorseful for what he does because truly he has no control over whom he has to take away. He knows how he touches people and how sad he truly makes so many lives yet he must drudge on.  My mind is racing with questions but I have no clue what to ask. I want to know how he knows when it’s time to end a life. If it is written somewhere when our time is over or if it’s a roll of the dice? I want to know if he has a soul anything like mine. I want to know if he truly has a soul. I want to ask him if he knows if I will realize all of my dreams. I have never before met such a man with so much at his feet yet he carries it so lightly for I strain at the thought of one percent of what he must see and feel every day of his life.  I want to know everything but I can’t find it within myself to ask for truly I am afraid of the answers I might hear. Within my chest my heart pounds and mind is wrought yearning to know how many more years I have on this earth and will my life touch the lives of anyone. I look into his eyes and I feel my lips and throat tighten, I want to speak but I can’t so I sit in awe of the man before me. Inside I know that everyone wants the answers to each question, maybe out of curiosity or is it that we want to know if we should be grateful for each day we wake up. Maybe regardless of what we feel like we must give thanks for each day that we can breathe the sweet scent of life.  It is so unfortunate that I have been so touched by death. I have watched the life slip away for more than one person, I have seen into the eyes of a lifeless body and I saw nothing. There are not enough words in any language to express the feelings that welled up in me watching life end only feet from me and inside my heartbreaks. I think of the first time I made love, my first kiss, and my first breath of life and inside I begin to smile. I give thanks for today and I wait tomorrow knowing that I will walk away from my lunch with Death and I bid him good bye for now since I have a lot of living left to do.
