| All good things come to an end...well....[[Til the end of 2006, I will be unlocking some of my favorite previous blog posts]]
It's that time of year, the end of the year to be precise. A time that was once about looking back on the previous year and taking account of your successes and failures. This year however, is one about looking ahead to the next.
In every year I take account of the things I have learned along the way..and add them to my mikeypedia of wisdom I have acquired though life.
This blog chronciled a journey of mine., from returning home after a heartbreaking situation, to reigniting the passion of my music, and God. To memories shared of various times, to the announcement of a business venture, and to finally landing a great job.
I work in the city as I always wanted to. I do tech support for a major medical billing company, I work in the Empire State building, and I live by the beach. The radio station I'm starting is coming together, we are in the budget of the councilman, we are starting fundraisers, and more and more people are showing an interest in participating at the station. I also have someone who works as a financial adviser, who believes in my vision and will help by asking his clientele to donate to my organization.
Everything is falling into place.
I have learned many things about relationships, and culture, and now I am in a situation here I can afford some of the finer things in life. I can actually wake up at 6am. I'm eating healthy. I'm enjoying life. Am I single? Yes. Am I concerned about being single? No. I'm happy :) Am I in a rush to be in a relationship? No. I'm at a place where I want to work on myself, and get my things in order so that when the time comes, I will be ready mentally, and be a financial provider for my future wife and kids if the Lord will that for my life.
I no longer look at being alone as something to be sad about. I see many of relationships suffer. I see alot of unhappiness. Personally, I don't need all that.
The funny thing is, it's amazing how someone can believe in you for a couple of years, but not want people to know about it because it might make them look differently in the eyes of man. Those are the kind of people who have ambitions of becoming someone or something and don't want to acknowledge you as part of thier life publicly because the deciders that be may not be too pleased because of an age difference or a financial difference. Well, those are not the kind of people that we need in our lives.
If you know people who want to keep you a secret, it's better to get rid of them altogether. If you know someone who always wants you to take care of the matters on thier emotional table, but won't even bother to take a look at your emotional table to see how they can help, simply clean your table of that person. I did, and to be honest, I couldn't be happier. It was in that moment that I discovered my self-worth. I do not deserve to be a secret, and I do not deserve to have my concerns be undiscussed.
This year, look out for you. This year put yourself first (well, 2nd to God). Anything is possible if you just believe, now put that belief into action.
The seasons change...everything changes, everyday things change. Recycle yourself.
I believe in Christmas miracles...and when someone asked me the other day what Santa brought me, I thought for a moment and reflected on time spent with a very dear friend of mine on Christmas Eve, a friend who told me how proud she is of me in the 8 years that she knows me, and how far I have come, a friend who bragged to all her friends that she was spending Christmas Eve with me in the city...a friend who re-entered my life at just the right time, just like she always has. So when I thought about what Santa brought me, I replied to the question with "happiness".
This blog of mine when I started it in August of 2003 was a blog of suffering. I am happy to say, and all glory to God, that the suffering is over.
This coming year is about the next level. I will turn it up a notch at church and be more dedicated to serving, Lord willing. I will turn it up a notch at the job and be even more, the great employee they already value, Lord willing. I will turn it up a notch nd continue to eat right and exercise and quit putting things in my body that I shouldn't, Lord willing. I will spearhead the campaign to get the radio station on the air, Lord willing. I will return form the musical hiatus once again and complete the album I am writing for the Lord, Lord willing.
Before we find peace on earth, we need to find peace in ourselves. Before we find peace in the Middle East, we need to find peace in the streets.
Have a joyous and blessed New Year, let it begin with you.
-Mike

| Announcing "The Venture"In some of my past postings I have mentioned "The Venture" without saying too much as to what it was. I did this, not to keep people in suspense, but simply because it was at a very earl;y stage and I didn't know if it was going to happen or not. Now, the time has come where after recieving a lot of support from the community that it is indeed going to happen. So therefore I present to you....RXA Radio, Rockaway's Community Station!A community radio station in the Rockaways. Presently we're recieving donations and sponsors and soon we will be on the air covering the rockaway peninsula on the airwaves, and around the world on our web stream.So for those of you who were wondering, now you know.

| For My DaughterAnother year has gone by,
You're two years old now and I,
Can't believe how time flies,
I remember the times,
That I used to worry and cry,
And I would ask myself why,
Yo mama was killing my heart with all her drama and lies,
And nevertheless, all
the stress,
You came along and I'm
blessed,
Above all the rest, I
would've never have guessed,
You're the girl of my
life and I will give you my best,
You're the reason for
the beating that goes on in my chest.
Through your life time and again,
Your mom will drive away men,
They'll be around and then leave,
Because your mother deceives.
No matter how many of them,
She tells you to call daddy,
Just know that I'm the one who truly is constantly,
The man who'll be in your life, for you I'll shine the good
light,
For you I'll walk the line, climb the mountain, fight the
good fight.
Because you are my first prize,
You got my smile and eyes,
And you mean more to me than your mom will let you realize.
And nevertheless, all
the stress,
You came along and I'm
blessed,
Above all the rest, I
would've never have guessed,
You're the girl of my
life and I will give you my best,
You're the reason for
the beating that goes on in my chest.
Just know God's working on me,
Making the best out of me,
Because you gave me the reason to be the man I should be.
You make me happy, Cali.
I’m proud to be your daddy,
Though the tears come to my eyes because I miss you sadly.
(interlude)
I know the day will come when we will be together,
And when those days do come, I pray they'll last forever.
And we will run and we'll play,
And we will sing and we'll pray,
And we'll thank God for the making of a new today.
And nevertheless, all
the stress,
You came along and I'm
blessed,
Above all the rest, I
would've never have guessed,
You're the girl of my
life and I will give you my best,
You're the reason for
the beating that goes on in my chest. | | |
| Hey everyone,
Ok, the transit strike here in NY is a pain in the ass. Thankfully my vacation starts tomorrow!
Now, rememeber that the MTA is not on strike, the TWU (Transit Workers Union) is.
Now some venting......
Dear TWU,
You guys get paid more than police officers, more than firefighters,
more than EMT's. When they did not have a contract, they worked
anyways, keeping things in the city safe and smooth as possible.
You people, make $48,00 - $55,000 already, but you want more. You want
more so badly that you chose to strike the week of Christmas. You could
have waited for January, but the greed did not let you.
I'm not angry that you chose to strike, I'm angry at the TIME you chose
to strike. To willfully finacialy cripple the city ($4 Hundred Million
per day lost in businesses)in the midst of the holiday season and to
cripple the city leaving people stranded, walking over bridges, missing
important doctor's appointments, ect. is disrespectful to your
customers and a slap in the face to the City of New York.
If a group of people decides to purposely financialy devastate a city,
I see it as an act of terrorism. The last people to hurt this city did
so on September 11th, 2001. Yet new a-holes arise to the challenge.
I hope you freeze your asses off out there walking in your little
circles. Also, when you guys do go back to work, be thankful this
holiday season, that I'm a patient person, and although tempted, I will
not take my metrocard and shove it up your ass.
Sincerely,
Your customer
================================================
In other news.....
"The Venture" has reached an important new phase, finaly. It should
have been the first thing to happen, but instead it was the
last...."the first shall be last and the last shall be first". So it
all worked out! All Glory to God. When the time comes, you will know.
Be patient.
It now moves into it's next phase.
Also, The WMCFpodcast is getting a new name, a facelift and a new site, stuff I was
handling on the legal end of that (trademarks) are also done.
The new site:
