"I am thankful for what I have been through because it has given me the courage to fight the war on traditional thinking." Kanye West said this during his performance on VH1 Storytellers after singing "Flashing Lights". Traditional thinking is what causes the masses to be social pacifists and follow as opposed to lead. Traditional thinking is based on rationality in which most of our thought processes lie, but Kanye like many other icons tend to think light years outside the box and embody the courage to walk down a different path and march to the beat of a different drummer. People who dazzle us with their personal genius make it look as natural as breathing but face the internal battle of trying to fit in by standing out, a path asymmetrical to normality. Most people want to fit in. why are we afraid to stand out and think differently?Are we afraid of the ridicule of others? Are we afraid of failure?.....or are we afraid of success and the responsibility that comes along with it?
Currency
a. Something that is used as a medium of exchange; money.
b. A continued, uninterrupted course or flow like that of a stream...
This may sound corny. but...I subscribe to Rev Run's Daily Words of Wisdom (WHAT!? Say something!) Seriously though, I enjoy them -- I find his 'words of wisdom' to be very thought-provoking and meaningful, most of which I've even applied to my own life --and believe me, they've been helpful. Today I want to share an small excerpt from one of his "words" that I received earlier this week:
Money is at it's best when it's moving.... Not accumulating.... That is why it's called currency... It's supposed to flow in currents..... A wise man once said... “Rich people are not ALWAYS happy people..
How timely: How true is that right now, in America? -- money is supposed to flow...not STACK! Everybody talks about "saving money for a rainy day", but right now in America we are exeperiencing a monsoon and no one is spending! Saving now means nothing if you're not going to spend later: These big-time execs with their insatiable, voracious, money-hungry nature have sucked the economy dry, and furthermore, we on the ground level of this economy have ceased spending altogether: we've practically dammed up our own economy. There's no cash flow! I understand people having their trepidations with the economy, but the money has to go back in order for it to come out. Hoarding it up is only going to prolong our state and belabor the recuperation of our own, once copious, American Econ-river. I'll admit it: Fat Joe was right: we need to 'make it rain'.
I am truly convinced that Chris Brown is Kurt Russell's "doppelganger": Have you guys read the police report from the night he (Chris) beat up Rihanna??? Supposedly this brawl between Chris and Rihanna-- the punching, the head slams, the bites, the scratches, the suplexes, the DDTs, and "Stone Cold stunners" -- all went down inside the car....while he was driving! That is some Quentin Tarantino, "Death Proof" type shit! Does anybody remember that movie? ...it came out in 2007 ...it was part of a double-feature, the other movie being "Planet Terror" ...anybody remember? Anyway, the movie featured Kurt Russell, Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell, Tracie Thomas, Vaness Ferlito, and some other people: in the movie Kurt Russell played "Stuntman Mike" who is this crazed stuntman who stalks two seperate sets of young woman and uses his "death proof" car to execute his sinister plans. If you've ever seen it you probably remember the first victim, played by Rose McGowan, whose head was smashed into the dash board as Stuntman Mike abruptly stopped his car after traveling at incendiary speeds, or even the head on collision he purposefully had with the first set of young ladies which sent their bodies (and body parts) flying from their car. And Kurt Russell walks away without a scratch on him -- death proof, baby! In the end, the other set of girls end up having the last laugh -- for their car too is "death proof" -- and get the best of Kurt...and end up killng him in the end.
Now, after reading this police report, whenever I think of Chris Brown I will always think of "Stuntman Mike" and his "death proof" car. Let's just hope, for Chris' sake, that the car was "jail proof" too. Check out the report :
