Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. My normal routine on Monday mornings is to hit the gym at 5:30am so it didn’t help that I only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night. I’ve never really been one to make excuses but I was very close to backing out on my workout today. Thankfully, the alarm was already set for 5am so once it rang I got up and got moving. Usually once I get to the gym I’ll get a burst of energy and that usually kicks my day off properly. For some reason though that didn’t happen. Me and my workout partners finished our workout and it actually went well but I still couldn’t get past this wall. I’m not sure if I just had too much on my mind from the days prior or if I was just in a funk but I was almost determined to let my day be a crappy one.

“The women that I date, they don’t wear scarves to bed. … You look like Aunt Jemima in a candy store.”

T.O.

          I don’t think that some men understand how much pride women take in their hair. We don’t just take care of it for our well being, but to look good for our man/woman as well. Some even do it to attract other men/women. It irks me when men talk about how they don’t like when women wear scarves on their head to bed. I have one thing in response to that: ARE YOU CRAZY?! There is nothing scarier than an angry woman pissed because something has affected her way of looking good. When one thing goes wrong with the way we look, than EVERYTHING is wrong.

YPRichB: I came across this song a few days ago and I’m definitely fans of the concept of the record as well as the rappers on it. Rhymefest is from Chicago and Skyzoo is from New York but each MC decided to dedicate their verses to the other MC’s respective hometown. For those unfamiliar, Rhymefest actually co-wrote “Jesus Walks” with Kanye West and Skyzoo is known for some of his work with producer 9th Wonder and his debut album “The Salvation” was one of my favorites of 2009. Take a listen to “Crack the Code” after the following press release .

“If you want your dreams to come true, don’t over sleep.”

Yiddish Proverb

         Yps, How many dreams do you let pass you by while you sleep your life away???  Many of us spend to much of our days either actually sleeping or going through the motions of life.  The opportunities for everyone are endless.  We all need to make a conscience effort to wake up and exploit our opportunities to the fullest.  They say the early bird gets the worm.  So get your day started early, make it a productive day and repeat this EVERYDAY!!!  We are the only ones who can make our dreams a reality.  Let’s work at it and get it done.  Make your dreams a reality.  YPs Stand Up!!!
