The Secret Millionaire
Over here in Britain we have this show called “The Secret Millionaire” where someone with an immense amount of fortune goes to a neighbourhood that is anguished by poverty. And long story short they have an epiphany and realise that people are all the same, and you meet some of the greatest of people in the worst of situations. And thus invest money into bettering said people’s situations.
Anyway,
I hardly ever watch the show because it’s the same format just a different name every week. But this week they were in Peckham, which is kind of close to me, but it’s somewhere I have lots of cousins and I often refrain from seeing them because of the bad reputation it has. But the energy and community spirit is so vibrant I sometimes get cravings just to be around that energy you know?
I would like to aspire to be one of those people. I mean I don’t want to go so far as being successful that I become out of touch with my local society.
I think that I would like to share my success with those who haven’t been in an as fortunate position as I have been in.
Giving money to charity, helping volunteer I think I would like to be a part of that

I think my biggest fear is being irrelevant
I used to believe that my biggest fear was (as cliché as it sounds) failure. And don’t get me wrong, I still fear failing.
But being irrelevant? Perish the thought!
When I’m gone I want people to remember me, for a long time.
Remember what I did, remember what I wanted to do and didn’t do. Remember why I felt so passionate about my family, my future, my career and just anything I have an opinion on. And I hope they can relate.
When I’m gone I would hate to just ‘go’ and leave no trace of my existence. I want to write books and novels, and poetry in my name. I want my words and thoughts to inspire lots of people, and I want them to quote me!
“I have always believed that “enter a random inspirational thought here” said so by Lorenzo Morales has provided a baseline for comparison within my life”
I want that.
I want to leave a footprint.

Nas on BET talking about the murder of Derrion Thomas and gang violance in Chicago
There is no limit to this man’s influence.
Now normally I don’t like BET, there’s too much talking and not enough music.
But yo, Nas was on it. And you know that I HAD to watch this, like there was no other choice
To me, he is the epitome of what a black man should aspire to be like, intelligent, articulate, humble, stays to his roots, and a family man.
Being humble is probably one of the most important traits that I hardly ever see in black people, especially rappers/actors/athletes.
His letter “Young Warriors, you are fighting the wrong war!” was so real, anyone who knows Nas, knows that he is all about fighting the oppression that we as black people put upon ourselves, giving The Man fuel to burn our own flame on. Don’t turn on your own people, join and unite because Obama has shown us that it can be done. And right now there are all the opportunities in the world to be who you want to be. Get a CAREER. Not a Job.
It’s a great video.
Greatest Rapper Ever.
