Why You Hating

Pull up a cloud it's nice to have you back.
Ladies gentlemen & monsters, last week we hit a milestone! we had 1 comment (holds for applause.)
 Some people will laugh in scorn at that achievement, but forget a basic principle which is that one is always the basis for more. Unless of course you are counting down which in that case would mean 1 meant the closeness to your demise and the impending doom of nothingness.

OK now the celebrations are out of the way, you may be wondering what I have been actively pondering out this week.
Well I'll tell you. It's the word "hating" or the label "hater." The word hating means to feel hatred.
 
n. 1. Intense animosity or dislike; hatred.
2. An object of detestation or hatred
 
So you can imagine how perplexed I am when both terrible musical artists & members of our society who actively do nothing claim that the world is hating on them . The truth is many people don't hate them. It's that they are indifferent to them meaning that could not care about your musical pilgrimage, your new lace front wig or booty shorts.  
Hate for the most part provokes many people to action, the hatred of race brings up little groups like the BNP & the KKK, the hate of terrorism has our young male and female soldier fighting a war which I personally think is not truly legitimate though that is another bedtime story all in all. So if someone is not buying your mix tape or downloading it...Two things are happening. Your not marketing correctly or you are not actually as good as you think you are.
In terms of the talentless people with nothing to really offer society, we may hate you. However no one is hating on your over priced swagger. It's more pertinent that we despise who you are. As a result of actively seeking attention, when there is nothing about you that is commendable or awesome. Rather than hating you because of your good looks or how much money you have.
This is not to say people don't get "hated" on because the human race is a despicably jealous race, but many times there is nothing wrong with the person being hated provided they are gifted or talented....a comment entrenched in "hating" usually ends in "I could do that" or "that should be me." This is simply because the person believes that the person getting recognition is doing something they have not been able to yet. If they had similar money and social standing watch how quickly the hate melts away.
 
I guess everyone has a bit of hater in them, God knows I do. I sometimes feel  like I should be where some artists are now with that sort of money. The only difference is I don't call these people names, or overtly make my sentiments known in a grotesque fashion. Instead I study harder I write harder I record with passion and use this feeling to ignite my best lines...What about you?

Rapacious, Parsimonious, Greed

I'm not going to assume that my scribbling have captured the masses but if you are reading this than errm thank you I guess for you I shall continue.
As it stands here is a basic definition of greed

1. eating of too much: the habit of eating to excess or the desire to do so
2. strong desire for more: an overwhelming desire to have more of something
such as money than is actually needed

Of course you can make this sound much more linguistically desirable with the usage of various synonyms but it ultimately boils down to the same thing. The desire or want of too much.
As I have aged, there has been one thing that has become increasingly apparent to me, and that is money does buy happiness. It buys a quality of life far superior to those who do not have. While it is commendable that we can look inside ourselves and find who we truly are. With no money comes a vulnerability and a rotten stench of dependency. Think about it. Money is the only reason we stay in a job we hate, earning money that clearly isn’t enough, putting up with the diabolically condescending and truculent manager(s). It's because we NEED money to function properly as adults. If you didn't need that money, you would slap that manager 3 times in the face with a loaded stapler! Before telling them exactly what you thought of them.
 If you have kids your self acceptance is not going to feed them. Soul food & food for thought doesn’t exactly work like that.
So then how greedy is too greedy?
 I want a great life for myself, my family and friends. It's possibly why I cling so closely to music, because it offers that chance to be comfortable. To live in grandeur and luxury, to do things I just would not be able to do otherwise, does that make me greedy? I want more than 1 car, more than one home in different exotic/metropolitan countries so I can escape once in a while without having to pay extortionate hotel prices. I call it a motivation to be successful and the want to have a quality of life I think all men should strive towards. What's the difference between motivation and greed? I always want the best. Always striving for a target that is in some sense is unattainable. I am completely enamoured by language. Is it greedy of me to compile a word bank of words which is almost in the 10,000's, of words I have assimilated into everyday language concluding in an ever expansive vocabulary? What's the difference between acquiring words to improve your social standing/appearance and acquiring money for the same effect? I'm not trying to give you an answer/justification. I’m just rambling superfluously about a given topic. As for my personal views on greed; I think there is thin line between wanting pre-eminent success and being greedy. I think greed is undoubtly behind most of the terrible nefarious things mankind do, but it's because we are ignorant to the nature of greed.
 Greed shouldn‘t be used as a basis for war or violence or anything that causes affliction to any being (even though it is.) Remember greed is what got us 720 HD when we had 420, it's the reason the internet speeds just keep soaring. Like every entity greed needs to be understood.
  Without a doubt though we will fail being complacent in life. You have to be a little bit greedy to get where you want to go and if you have to be even greedier to say there. (that’s just my view though)

The Beginning

Those of you who are now reading this have decided to ingest the red pill, and are now descending into a hole of madness or sanity depending on which way you look at it.

Welcome to my mind...

You may not agree with everything I say but I do only stipulate that you respect what I write. In turn I will... Well actually I won't do anything but you can always read something else less thought provoking if you want. I can assure you I will not apologise for anything I write, even if I'm wrong!

I want to begin by asking you, are you comfortable? I mean in your skin, are you comfortable with yourself your image and the person you are?
I gaze around a room and I see lots of accessories, our iPhone's & of course it's not cool if it's not the iPhone 4. In addition to the iPhone conglomorate you have the Blackberry Bunch in your face with the same monotonous phrase "Can I have your pin?"
Here we are in the free world and we've given up our names to become pin numbers. Bright minds & intellectuals reduced to nothing more than bar codes. All in the sense of fashion, and you can cover it up by claiming its a networking tool, or whatever the latest excuses is but really the only thing that makes a Blackberry cool is the knowledge that everyone else has one. I mean there's no point pinging yourself is there?

This may sound like an attack on Blackberry users, but it's not really if you take the time to think about it. It's more about our identity, the idea that we are defined by other people's viewpoints of our own selves.
Why is it that we are hurt when someone calls us ugly, even when they look like a baboon? Why is our image of ourselves so poor that we have to cling to things like Blackberries, Porches and butt implants to make us feel normal? When these things that we cling to are abnormal things.
This is not to say not to buy things. It's important to know why your buying them. I know a lot of people who over state the fact they buy this brand name, and that brand name, and at the end of the day it does not change that they are an idiot! Or an arrogant truculent human being. It will never change the fact that they buy these brand names because people acknowledge the brand names more than they acknowledge that person's existence.

So again I ask you are you comfortable? Without your phones and your D&G jeans, the high top trainers and the common magpie disease (attraction to anything shiny.) There are things which I don't find attractive personally but that does not mean they are not beautiful things. Be yourself, be uncompromising and truthful against all pressure to conform to something you were not meant to be. You know what? Be beautifully ugly, insanely astute and dumbly ingenious but most of all be comfortable in you. You are not your pin, nor your back off or your car. Sometimes it just takes someone to let you know.

Me & The Monster will be here next week chewing over something else, I hope you will too.

The Intro

Some people wake up in the mornings, they get dressed and then they go and do a bunch of things that will keep their existence mundane and irrelevant. This lifestyle will mean that after time they will fade into the graves of the time sands like raindrops on a window. Never to be remembered. I'm not one of those people. Every day I'm trying to force my way into you brains via music. I'm trying to make you remember me throughout time. My name is Samuel Sky but you'll realise that soon enough.

So what does someone like myself like to do?

1.Gym
2.Looking & confabulating with  pretty women (I said look) I'm not single so don't touch me! Do not even Facebook poke me lol, I'm joking you can Facebook poke me if you want.
3.Mixed Martial Arts I love this sport so much big fan of the U.F.C & B.A.M.M.A
4. Music God I love music it strengthens me. I can't lie I'm a fan of my own music mostly but i think you will be too, once you've searched Samuel Sky on YouTube and heard what i can do with a pen :)
5. Twitter i don't understand why I am so addicted to it but i am so follow me if you can't get enough of my rants on here.
6. Some other things but only my girl needs to know those :)

SO now you have two choices.. The red pill or the blue pill. You can leave this page never to return that's the blue pill, or you can join me next week when the real blogging will start. This was just the foreplay. I can only take you to the door you must walk through it *Morpheus voice*
