From DCSB.net: The World is in Trouble
We are in trouble...
The population of this country is 300 million.
160 Million are retired.
That leaves 140 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 55 million to do the work.
Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.
Leaving 20 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied With killing Osama Bin-Laden.
Which leaves 17.2 Million to do the work.
Take from that total the 15.8 Million people who work for state and city
governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And there You are,
Sitting on your ass,
At your computer, reading jokes..
Nice. Real nice.
And this other article is a food for thought, cause I been seeing some people who get tangled up with their vision, mission and goals, they forgot about the closest people around them who made it all possible. They get sucked-in into this alter ego that grows in their head, which make them into someone who is bigger than the world itself. They feel that everyone and everything does not matter. The only thing that matters are themselves and the obligation of the people around them to give them respect that they deserve. A little that they know: "The World owes you nothing" - Unknown.
I am lucky enough that I am not surrounded by those type of people. There are some group of people that I see on regular basis who have different views and I am really grateful they are around me. They treat me like a family even though I have known them for only a short period of time.
And this one article/blog baffles me, cause this guy has everything he has in the world, and yet he stays humble and able to keep his foot on the ground regardless how successful he is. He is definitely the definition of that song by Kevin Rudolf, "I made it".

I know it’s been a little light on the blog side, but man, I’m on a different map, agenda and overall page these days…. the last 2 months again(I know I sound monotonous) have been amazing. I spend a lot of time working, but less time looking or searching for more work, just staying busy with what I have in front of me and if it doesn’t come my way money wise, I’m not tripping. I spend that time with my family. My mom and pops are getting real old, it’s crazy also to think that I was trying to kill myself grinding so hard so that if I had to raise a full family I wouldn’t have to worry…. well shit, my parents raised 3 kids with waaaaaaay less money than I make overall even considering the economic changes and times, etc… so I’m not worried about that. I’m just living my life and trying to be a better person.
I don’t like to think of too much the negative, I do try to look at shit with the bottle half full, but damn there are some real dumbass people still out there and I might have been one of them at times, but on purpose which almost makes it worse. I never in my life have or understand how another man or woman can live through a day thinking about another person they have no idea about or never met and spent quality or even any time with. shit baffles my mind with the levels of ignorance and to make things worse, they’re so miserable and in denial with their own faults, they throw stones and then hide their hands. smh…. is it the parenting? I’d rather slap the shit out of my kid for anonymously dissing anyone while overlook any of the other basic rules; but again, that’s just me. what you see or read or hear is not from anyone elses mouth or anyone elses side of the story but mine. I’m not perfect, never will be, don’t care to be; I always see myself as like “there is always room for improvement” no human being is divine, we all make mistakes. I just know that If I was a better man this week than I was last week, I did good. I’m not trying to be better than YOU, I just want to be a better person than I am already each day and repeat daily.
I gotta get up early and get some work in, but I wanted to share some non materialistic type shit with my readers.
I obviously do this from time to time.
My car will not be at Formula Drift in Long Beach today(friday) or tomorrow Sat. but I will be at Formula Drift all day Saturday, walking around, mostly around the NOS energy drink booth and filming random things….
btw, Mark Arsenal, I will slap you when I see you because I know you are going to be there, and they won’t call you FATLACE, they will call you FAT LIP! trust!
shout out to my homey Jimmy Boi who went from thugging to blogging…. congrats on the new blog.
I’ll try to ustream chat with y’all more often…. the other day’s chat was awesome, we had lmfao/bep family, Ryan Grant, Damon Elliot, Jonas Bevacqua, some fine ass women who I won’t mention unless they feel like they want to and most importantly, my readers or followers on twitter.
peace,
2 fingers
sometimes it’s 1 finger though
but always 1 love
