Above the gold

The legacy I leave behind is something I think about every day. Truly I always ponder how I want my life to be looked at after its all said and done. For one, I want it to be looked at, I want to be remembered, I feel as if it is my mission to not be forgotten. Whether my success comes in this industry or that industry, I want to be able to leave enough influence on people that my ability to lead will follow from a few, to millions, maybe even billions of people. Influence, after all, is much more than material objects.



To expand on that, I want to lead people out of a greed filled world. I believe that a few people rallied to a cause you can create can make a difference in a community, but it takes millions to influence a world. I want to leave the gifts of near perfection in our lives. I do realize that happiness can only be achieved if sadness is present in our world, and that also good can only emerge when evil is overcame. Without any bad there is no good. I feel that anything is achievable with the right amount of influence. If Adolf Hitler can convince a nation that the Jewish people deserve to be killed, to endure a genocide of millions, than anybody can believe anything. Not saying I want to corrupt people, but I want them to be rallied to a cause of knowledge. I feel that if people can be rallied to a go with the flow lifestyle, then our culture will forever change for the good.



I simply believe that if I can climb a mountain to a peak so high that all can see me, they will be able to hear me. I want it to be known as a peacemaker, but with the swagger of a leader. I want people to realize that my words are ones of realization. People don't always look through the tunnel to the light even when its right in front of them. Perhaps something along the lines of motivational speaking would be in my future, but its something I want to do. I love talking about the potential of masses of people, what we could do as a large group. Its a beautiful thing. Overall, there is one thing I do believe in that I find possible and true. The way it goes is that although you can never end things like racism, death, sadness, so many horrible things in the world, you can bring an end to war. There is NO driving force that causes humans to go to war.

My Tomb

My life has been remembered
on this tombstone here
from my happiness and tempers
and when things weren't clear
a leader forever in my heart
to those who could not fight
these people I'd never part
only for that which was right
peace intended from the start

My accomplishments are a result of my actions
and my resolve a result of my passions

Though a mortal I am
and forever i cannot be
For my love i peace I ask
that you forever remember me

This is my tomb
here is where I lie
through life til doom
I have always tried
to live with meaning
and die with love
perhaps by leading
we can reach the sky above

Gratitude in the workplace

Although I work in a pizzaria, there is still some gratitude in the workplace. People would argue it's an easy job, and for the most part they would be right. However, when it comes to other customers dining experience, perfection is all that is acceptable. My gratitude and the gratitude of my coworkers really goes out to everybody who just pays attention.


People don't always realize that certain efforts really do go into such a simple job. Often times people can be neglected when on a wait for seating. Other times food can be poorly prepared. Items can be forgotten in an order and overall, with all of these things customers can be unsatisfied. Every person that works with me simply asks that I do my job correctly in which for the most part I do. I simply ask for the same and in turn I am grateful for that.


If not for a smooth work day, I am very grateful for the people I work with. Everybody is young, happy, funny, and energetic. Everyone has a good attitude it makes work worth going to. My managers make for a flexible experience that's mostly stress free and for that I am also grateful. Everybody in this organization is for the most part you scratch my back I scratch yours sort of person. Everyone is always looking to help you out if you need it, they are a second family and for that I'm grateful.





My demeanor is unmovable
with no mistake it's provable
that my sophistication
is amazing
It's undoable

Leadership is my game
Its the claim to fame
something that I just do
its what makes me me
it's just who I be
its part of me
and likely not for you

Perfectionist
living specialist
of winning?
the best at it
with more to come
Without exception
I'm accepting it
the rest of it?
Ask the receptionist
for the file of
The most passionate
immaculate pacifist
like Malcom x
and mlk I'm
a progressionist
And yes thats made up
Like this creative list
of things that make me
who I am
perhaps an egotistic
beast or a dream within a man.
