Sunshine On My Mind…

forty lawdy

Chocolate Snowflake and I were lucky enough to be invited to camp out at the Brooklyn Blister’s residence in Forty Lawdy.

This is where I get to relax my mind and let my conscience get free. It’s also where I get to swim nude so that my whole body gets tanned. Since the Blister’s were in the building I kept my shorts on.

Chilling with these folks is also great for my perspective on what it takes to live the life you imagine for yourself. Working smarter is worth more than working harder, but there still is no substitute for the person that can put in 16hr workdays.

I feel a kind of way sometimes when I don’t have this page updated several times a day. I feel like I am letting down the folks that have clicked on the DP URL only to see the same drop that was here two hours before still at the top of the page. That shit was driving me crazy for a minute, but I think I turned a corner on this last visit to Florida.

I’m not as hellbent now to kill myself as a blogger because my dream is to finish my book and to make movies in Hollywood. Do you want me to achieve my dream? That’s cool because the real question is whether I want to reach my goal or not. I hope that y’all stick around for the ride because there are so few folks I am connected to that know me from back when.

I would hate to have another birthday party for myself all by myself.

    I don’t know you in real life, but I like what I’ve got to know through the crazy internets. Good luck on your book and life. Those drops about your younger days are what got me into this site, I think they could make a very interesting book if you can connect it up nicely. We all have to realize our potential if we want to be satisfied beyond our daily perks.

    Those pics look like they could be clips from Big Pimpin.

    This little white kid just found a bombass chinese food place so if it comes down to having a birthday alone and being hungry, or having your birthday with a skinny white kid at a chinese food place holla.

  9. Libras take forever with their dreams, doing for everyone but themselves. Yet they always have friends wherever they go and can do whatever they want whenever they decide that the time has come.

    I just think that most of the time we’re not naturally wired to be selfish enough to pull away from it all and do for us like we do for others.

    On the flip, I wouldn’t mind spending another birthday by myself as long as I were far the fuck away from Atlanta. Spending this one out of town, actually.

    Write that book.

    I feel you on that, D. I have three screenplays in my head and my dream is to save the X-Men film franchise one day and make a movie about Boston that will make people realize what it’s really like to live here. I kill myself blogging and if I miss a day to do some real world shit I need to take care of I feel like I’m letting heads down. One of these days I’m gonna have to step away from this shit and take one of these jobs. After all, the five posts a week in different subjects is supposed to showcase that I can write about anything…it”s supposed to be a means to an end.

    I’m pulling for your to achieve your dreams, fam.

    We gon’ make it! © The LOX

    DP, I just started blogging in April and of all these award winning blogs, you got sh*t on smash. The mark of a good writer is the ability let the reader into your mind, and evoke a gamut of emotions. You got people laughing, angry, sad, grossed the f*ck out….allathat. The stuff you share about your Pops, your CS, pickin’ boogers, politricks, takin’ dueces, sneakers, comic books!?!?
    I think the rest of your readers agree that you take it there, and thats the reason we come back. daily. hourly. Writing a book is the natural progression for you, so go ahead and finish the book. It way too many cats that are talented and can do a lot of sh*t really well, but just cant finish the job. Hollywood is waitin’ on ya, B

    You already know I got your back. At the risk of sounding like a sappy Hallmark card (The Mahogany series of course), I believe in your talent and I know you can do it. Dream big.
