In The Trenches

A Blast to the Past

In the years before the 90's we were kids

Kids that played outside for hours

When thirsty we hydrated ourselves by drinking water for water hoses connected to our houses

We creatively came up with games to play such as: 

Jump rope, hide and seek, jumping jacks, dodge ball, stick ball, kick ball, curb ball, marbles, house, hop scotch, pitch up tackle, red rover, four square, tag, simon says, and double dutch

The video game console at the time was the atari 2600

Video games played were:

Pole positition, pac man, mrs pac man, joust, football, missile command, pampart, donkey kong, Asteroids, empire strikes back, space invaders, road runner, tetris, centerpede, and pitfall

As students from elementary to high school, the principles, teachers, coaches were tough, and did not play any games

If any of us students back in these days were disrepectful, talking back, bullying, or out of line

Quickly came ou...

Distance for Success #2

If you want to succeed in anything or accomplish anything you've started

Fight for it

Fight for it to not have any regrets

Never quit while on your quest

Just quietly do whatever it takes and distance for success

You are the Navigator

You are the navigator of your life

Only you have control of the steering wheel

You may not be perfect on the way

But you'll be okay only if you make the best decisions on every first time

Pivot through life's adversities on a dime

Understand that on your life's journey there's no road signs to direct you on your path 

No brand new paved roads or guiding lines while on your path

It will be rough at times. you'll slip by lifes temptations with poor vision

This is why you must stay wired tight and make quick instant decisions to prevent a collision

Remember while on your way to love yourself 

Learn from each experience 

Reflect only on great encouraging stories you've endured and enjoy the process.

Have No Fear

Live your life to the fullest without fear 

Climb the hills, bust through walls, run toward your dreams, and forge through life's fires

Sacrifice for the success that you desire

No one truly knows the person in the mirror 

Be mindful that every man and woman; no matter their statue, status, or size all are equal in Gods eyes

May all of your days of man don't fear

Move with motivation, worry not, cast out of your mind those four letters F.E.A.R., and chill

For Fear is:

F- False

E- Evidence 

A- Appearing 

R- Real

My Friend Is In A Better Place

This poem was written by me in respect for the life of a good man, Mr. David E. Choate

My friend is in a place somewhere without harm, pain, or scare

Where the sun shines brightly, the skies stay blue, and the lakes stay full as pollinated flowers bloom 

A place where friends and family can reunite 

No more stress of life

Here there's no fuss no fight

Just a few good men now able to fish anytime throughout each day indeed 

In a beautiful world where my friend David E. Choate will be waiting patiently on you and me

My friend is in a better place

So Heavenly

Be True To Yourself

If you are a man be a man

if you are a woman be a woman 

if you are a child be a child 

No matter if your poor struggling or surrounded by wealth 

Your life surely matters so be True To Yourself

Guns And Purses

A disagreement between her and him came to a mutual agreement 

He loves and collects guns; she loves and collects purses 

The argument from her was, why so many guns he can't shot but one gun at a time 

The same argument from him was similar, why so many purses she can't carry but one at time 

They found an understanding a common ground 

She turned an entire bedroom into girl room for her purses and lifestyle 

He bought a larger safe for his guns and built a bunker to hold his ammunition in the ground

A Word Of Thought 134

If you think you can just roll through life with ease always given a hand

Others may see you as a wheel of a car, truck, or van in which all or man made

Know that your not!

Know that In your life you will be challenged, tested, talked about behind your back, quietly judged by many, and at times mentally laughed at for just being yourself day to day 

Remember there is a reason why In your life you'll experience these things In your own special way

And that's because you are GOD MADE

Work Horse

Someone who never says no or I can't

One that bends to orders even when given in a rant

Long hours worked daily constantly moving his or her feet 

No expectation of any appreciation for the labor the world does not see

Community Spirit

Every state has its divided communities 

Upper Class, Middle Class, And Lower Class

Crimes in each community are different but similar in certain areas 

For example:

In poor communities you may see people strung out on blocks drunk high on cheap drugs such as meth and rocks

On the other hand, The upper and middle class can afford to step it up to another level to dance with the devil

In poor and middle class communities people talk judge with envy by what one may possess; material things such as flashy jewelry, name brand clothes, top class cars, motorcycles, or fixed up trucks

While the upper class is similar for they envy investments, bank accounts, and stocks
