Fate Fate Fate Free will Fate Free will Fate Free will.........

"There are three basic positions we can adopt on the question of free will: either we have absolute free will, or we have no free will at all, or we have a certain measure of free will. The idea that we are absolutely free is clearly far-fetched, for there are certain obvious restrictions on our freedom: we are not free to do anything that we are physically incapable of doing. For example, we cannot change the past, breathe under water, or fly like a bird. In addition to these physical limitations, there are also psychological limitations on our freedom: our mental conditioning and our numerous habits and instincts play a major role in determining our actions. Some people might say that all these constraints are so powerful that we have no control over them whatsoever and have no free will at all. This extreme position is known as fatalism, predeterminism, or 'hard' determinism. According to fatalism, we cannot choose to do anything other than what we do choose to do; everything we do is predestined, and our feeling of being free is an illusion. Fatalism is impossible to prove, but it's also impossible to disprove, because a fatalist would say that whatever we do or say to try and disprove fatalism is itself determined by fate! "

David Pratt

"I can say that with this comment, I agree. The simple things we do are all pre determined. Every decision, every choice...everything happens for a reason. However, I often find myself questioning fatalism and even the idea of there being a God present, because all the suffering that goes on. Is all that predetermined too? Moreover, are we helpless products of free will or merely determined by Fate? Free will is Fate. FREE WILL is FATE. How can this be? Our actions are free will, yes, we do and say as we wish. However, it is fate that determines our free will. Working together, hand in hand simotaneously. Our free will is determined by Fate!."

I'm always finding amazing music. Recently [july 2008] I've discovered this musical genius named Shwayze. He has a song you may know called, 'Corona and Lime'. I love this song.


this is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-38tShbnTg

I love their sound. It's not that difficult to market music to a variety of different groups. they have a soft-rock-rap sound and I LUV IT! Some of their lyrics are out there though. However, in this case the sound got me and I sort of tolerate some of the things he says.


A problem I have with their videos are the excessive use of skinny ass white girls. I'm not sure if it's the work of their marketing manager or video director, or maybe it's just A blackman's obsession with white women? Not sure not sure.

Another Viva la White Girl luver group I like is Gym class Heroes. Shwayze is better then them however.
The truth is I only like two songs by GClassH.

Now I'll say this, I'm not a complete advocate of The Anti-Lil Wayne deal. I just believe he's given way too much credit then he deserves and it's dangerous. However, this would not be fair unless Lil Wayne had some say, so let's hear, see {rather} his words....




"your career just isnt fair,
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed..."


Now, first off, I'll have you know that A menstrual cycle is NOT a Venereal disease of any sort. And 2nd, who the HELL uses metaphors to compare them self to women bodily functions such as a DAMN period???

It's as if he doesn't even write his stuff, he just goes into the booth high, spittin' any ISH that comes to his brain dead mind.

"Threw the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind, Cause I don't write shit cause I ain't got time, Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the al mighty dollar, And the al mighty power of dat chit cha cha cha chopper, Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Father motha fuck a copper, Got da maserati dancin on the bridge pussy poppin, Tell the coppers... hahahaha you can't catch em, you can't stop em"

Oh, so you don't write your stuff. you don't invest time and produce lyrics that actually have Meaning? Hmmmm...interesting. {I would have never guessed} I guess he doesn't have a vision. Every good "hip-hop" artist should have a vision, or else your not, your just a guy with words that ryhme. A person who has gave in to the capitalistic portion of the music industry who spoon feeds our youth poison in the form of words and images...all for $ money $

"A millionaire I'm a young money millionaire What chyall really want it naw Y'all don't really wanna do it If hip hop is dead I am the embalming fluid And I don't care who it be, I'm steppin to it Notice I say 'it' cause to me, it ain't shit Get. it. Call me whacha like trick? Call me on my sidekick Never answer when it's private Man I hate a shy chick Don't you hate a shy chick I had a plate of shy chick and she ain't shy no mo' She changed her name to my chick"

Now now, there's no need to change the subject, if you want to help preserve the process and support the process of "killing hip-hop", then that's your problem. How did you go from that to talking about a shy chick? I don't get it, maybe the listeners do? Or maybe your just going through a phase? A money, degrade women, drugs ...phase..I'm sure it's okay. And I'm not 100% sure the lyrics are that bad..

"
Swimming laps around a bottle of Louis the Thirteenth
Jumpin' off of a mountain into a sea of Codeine
I'm at the top of the top, but... still I climb
And if I should ever fall, the ground would then turn to wine
Pop, pop, I feel like flying, then I feel like frying, then...
(I feel like dying) "
"I can mingle with the stars, and throw a party on Mars I am a prisoner, locked up behind Xanax bars I have just boarded a plane, without a pilot And violets are blue, roses are red Daisies are yellow, the flowers are dead Wish I can give you this feeling... I feel like buying And if my dealer don't have no more, then... (I feel like dying) "

Wait a minute...dude? Are you okay? I mean are you SANE?
Weed, Louis the Thirteenth, Codeine, I mean! come on...Xanax.
Don't tell me your hooked on prescription drugs now, that's some white teen type ish mann...
Codeine impairs thinking and the physical abilities required for driving and etc.. Alcohol and other sedatives, such as Xanax, can produce further brain impairment and even confusion when combined with codeine.....!!!!!!!..... Therefore, alcohol and other sedative intake should be limited when taking codeine. Codeine may be habit forming. Sounds to me like you are taking them ALL and you are an ALL around Drug Addict? I guess money and semi-college cred can't earn you your SANITY??
"I mean the world just ain't gon' never change So I just keep my head up and my nuts, let 'em hang Dawg I swear it's very rough out here for the youngstas
Like everybody against me 'cause I'm a young thug
"

Like Dang! if you say it, it's true dude, try being positive...
I honesty believe that if he could just get his priorities and his mind straight. he could be a beast! I mean a fierce beast. A REAL hip-hop rapper and artist. But until then here's a public announcement about safe sex by yours truly ....Lil Wayne

"I'm in yo', neighborhood area, CD thang, tape deck IPod, ya gurlfriend and she say I got great sex Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex 'cause you don't want that late text, that "I think I'm late" text Heh-heh, so wrap it up Bu-bu-but, he's so sweet sh-she wanna lick the rapper"

Oh and I almost forgot, MAN what were you thinking? Kissing Birdman?

"Black women are significantly less likely to marry than white women, but among blacks, women with a college education are more likely to marry than those who do not."

The fact is and the most important in my opinion is that I'm in that statistic. I'm a part of those African-"American" women who may not EVER get married. It scares me at times when I think about it.

With all the Black men in the world, statistics say that I might not get to be with one.

So the question is....what's happening to all of them? Where are they?

Well we know where a lot of them are: Locked Up.Cleaning Toilets.Selling Drugs On The Corner.With White Women......

Like I said before, it's scary! I've never really thought about it before in this way. I know competion has it's stuff, and I'm sure sometimes we try and strike-out in realtionship attempts; but what happens when you arn't even given a chance?

I don't want to marry anything other than a Black guy. Of African decent. It's not a racist thing nor a discrimination thing. It's just simply the truth. Indian Culture prohibits interatial marriges at a certain point, greeks, asians, mostly the same. So why should it matter if I believe the same.

But Hey, maybe I'll meet that guy I want. A radical Revolutionary. An Artist. A Sincerely Good Guy.

It seems as though people love to judge me. Criticize, chastize, and all that good stuff. People are always asking me why I do this and why I do that, but never stopping and asking themselves the same question. Now I wish I had an answer. I wish I could tell them truly why I smile. And truly why I'm so aware. I wish I could just open up and tell them they only see the surface of a soul who has traveled so far. Through rocky roads and torn between two parents trying to please both parties and I started trying to please the world..I guess?? But you can't please everybody and I've learned to accept that.

I've been told before that I'm too nice.

I've been told before that I'm a racist

I've been told before I'm too smart, work too hard, smile too much and the list goes on.....

I guess a part of living is dealing with criticism. However, at times that can get to be too much. There are times when I feel like being around people who will accept me as who I am and not try and change me. There are times when I just want people to want me as ME. I've had so many different personalities I sometimes forget who I am.

I'm not fake, I just naturally try and adjust to my surroundings. At times I'm crazy, at times I'm focused, at times I'm a "regular" teen, and at times I act as if I've been on Earth for decades..

But who Am I who am I who Am I.

I remember times where I use to go to church, I remember a time when I fought, I remember a time when my best friend was WHITE, I remember a time when I LOVED lil romeo {ILK!} I remember a time when I was depressed and was close to Suicide!

I was a differnt person in each of those scenarios and I won't say for a seccond say that I'm a better person then that girl I use to be. Maybe more wise and intelligent. More developed physically and intellectually.
