Metro-Town,Music & Meaning

Hey wassup peepz,
This Cedric. well this week, Was pretty much one of the most exciting weeks of my life and one of the most fufilling. I know most of you are wondering what the title means, well I'll get to that later on. Well this week I learned some very valuable lessons that I'll probably carry on for the rest of your life. Well about the title. First, "Metro-Town" was a 4-day program that I attended this week and it taught many young people the value of choosing words and selecting the right words so that you don't offend anyone. I know from experience that people can say some pretty Harsh things, from friends, Church members, School Members, Community Members, etc. I mean it's all in the way you choose your words. I mean in my opinion we should not use words to abuse or try to embarass or try to hurt someone because it is not Cool. Sometimes people may not know they are doing it. As a matter of fact, me and my cousin Kelvin were talking about this situation and we determined that we REALLY didnt use negative words when describing or talking to someone (besides my little cuz Kris), it's usually the people in our life that we talk to that offend us more than we do them, and we forgave them because they didnt know that they were doing it, so we'd juss ignore it so no controversy would arise. Sometimes it takes people listening to actually understand what's being said. I listen more to what my friends advice are than my friends listen to me. So in my opinion it's always good to have someone you can go and get advice from, but when the other person needs advice don't juss say "okay" or or anything, just listen and learn and help (just like they help u). Any-How, Music, this week I ACTUALLY STARTED my album, with a song called "Don't Care" it's an R&B song about not caring what people say about your relationship, and that you should juss ignore the negative feedback you may obtain. So I will be releasing a snippet when I finish the song later on this week. Yeah and the meaning part of this was basically ending this blog post saying that EVERY word has meaning, it's juss how u use it.

Thrive.Thirst.Thank.

Hey wassup people, its me again, reflecting on things that I just have been thinking about. Even though this doesnt work, I want to apologize to everyone who this may offends (I don't know how, but it ALWAYS does).

Thrive.
Thrive to be the best. Be better than the first and thrive to leave a challenge for the next. There are times when your survival is all you have, and the word "survival" is difficult.Life is full of deaths and tolls and many obstacles, but its how you pass and obtain your own knowledge of getting around these obstacles that allows you to thrive. Thrive is for the person who knows not how to survive. Thrive is for the person who is trying, but gets beat down by harsh words or daily set-backs. Thrive is for the person who is not well "looked upon". Thrive is for the outcast of a group, ya know, the one everyone thinks is "weird", even though there is not definition for "normal". Thriving is for that artist,athlete,musician,doctor,lawyer who seems not to be the best in their field, but seems to bring something to the game. Thrive.

Thirst.
Thirst is to want. Thirst for knowledge as if it was the last cup of water in the whole world. Sit back and listen to the elderly as they give knowledge and quench your mind of hasty world desires.Thirst for talent. Thirst learning what your purpose in the world would be. Without thirst there is no need to drink. Thirst is for the person who may not have the best talent in the world, but utilizes what god gave them. Thirst is for someone who doesnt have the talent but would rather trade their god-given talent for another that they practice the most. Thirst is for the desire to be better than yesterday and be better than last week. Thirst is for the person who works while everyone is sleeping. Thirst is for that extra mile you run just to get better. Thirst is for the challenge that someone puts upon themselves so they get better. Thirst.

Thanks.
Thanks is to be grateful. Thank all who have helped come this far. Be grateful that you made it this far, because who knows where you could be without all the events. Be thankful for all the good moments in your life. Don't shun the bad times, because they helped you get where you are today; and if where you are today is not acceptable, thank god for letting you understand that fact. Thanks to all the inspiration in your life, and passion. Thanks to the knowledge you do know and hoped to learn more of. Thanks to your well being and not complaining. Thanks for the people that just drive you crazy because who infact is sane. Thanks is for that humanitarian who gives back to the world. Thanks if for the people that change someones life through a prayer,a word, a kiss, or advice. Thanks is for those people who do not run from the homeless but endow them with money. Thanks is for all those times someone has hated on you and you didnt care. Thanks if for not letting someone bring you down, but infact pushing you forward. Thanks is for that person who cares about others and is a giver. Thanks to the philanthropists. Thanks to the people who are strong. Thanks to the teachers. Thanks to the good moms and dads who ACTUALLY stay with their children. Thanks is for the child who feels good about themselves no matter what. Thanks is for the children who believe in something. Thanks.
