How To Be A Gangster

if you can talk you can sing, if you can walk you can dance

I am in an “Yes I Can” sort of mood lately. I am not sure if this optimism has lead to me having my best year ever, or if this year’s trials have been so few. And far between, that my outlook hasn’t had a need for change, but either way, the glass is half full.

Its not even that I don’t have doubts. I have always had doubts. What reasonable mind doesn’t? But now, I spit on my doubts and keep it moving. I am not afraid of failure. I am afraid to try.

Trial and error can hurt at times. The best way to be successful is to plan and stay focused. Aim high, but not too lofty- big goals require baby steps, not giant steps.

I guess I kept telling myself this for so long that I finally brought into the doctrine of positives. I guess I always believed in staying positive. But it was more of a good things happen to good people. Now I know good things happen to those who will good.

A wise young twitterer once spoke to me about the vibrating world. Unlike those who believe in karma, where a good begets a good and bad begets bad, the vibrating theory suggests that what ever mood you put out, the world will vibe to that mood. Its not about good and bad. Its about the world working in harmony with our soul’s desires.

I kind of bought into this philosophy. Its hard to get down or feel like the world owes you when you believe that, in life you will attract what you desire, and if you scream it loud enough, the world will conspire to give it to you.

Yes I can.
Yes I will.
And the world will help me.

On Choosing a Flower:Anything but a Rose

Reblogged from SexDrugsMoney:

How to Choose a Flower For A Girl By Ryan Mega I have never bought a rose for a girl. I’m not a big fan of them. Luckily, the girls I have dated are even less in love with them. Guys will get a rose without hesitation, not realizing the deep symbolism that flowers and women share. That is an opportunity missed. Leave the roses for the deathbeds. The easiest thing to do is to go to the florist and buy a bouquet. I’m sure they’ll stick some roses in there. But with little real effort, you can …

Spring time is around the corner. Lesson up.

kung fu is not an art, its a weapon

Common sense. How many of us have it? Remember, its is as it will be. If you see a kid practicing kung fu, remember it is not an art; he is training to kick your ass.

nobody says a thing to anybody, passengers pass without sass. the furious wind blows as the door opens left, and a gale wind sends shivers through the spines of a few, proving that life does exist on this beaten train car to nowhere. all aboard….

long term goals, or how to change the future

Ryan Mega — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:22:48 +0000

So I have spent pretty much the last 5 years floating through life trying to figure my calling or talent or whatever. If you don’t know, I have a bachey in Psychology, but I feel its time to become a master or graduate. Trouble is, I can’t solidify my goals or wants. I have spent the majority of the last 5 years self studying, going around the states, and breaking the law. Luckily, I’ve held some pretty good gigs, that helped afford a fucked up half of a decade elsewise. So here I am on the cusp of 30 and stuck. Stop me if I have posted this blog before, but here we go.

I spent a year getting certified as a teacher just to teach half a semester and go home. My excuse was that I wanted to put in my first years in the place I knew I was staying, but that’s a lie. I worked a few promotions and a few years milking a corporate company of two. I have considered trying for med school, law school, business school, and grad school for Psychology. The truth is, the streets keep calling me

I have always been a plan A-Z kind of person. My plan A was simply to graduate. I was the first in my generation blah blah blah. But the truth is I wanted to run a label in the ATL – Nashville – Memphis area and get it popping. But I couldn’t. Family honor, responsibilities and all, I had no time to play. I was the dopest dj in the game circa 2000. Now I’m trying to get my transformer scratch back. But trust I will.
If I wanted to go to med school or something, I’d have done it by now. I been holding out on that shit for a reason. The kid still young, and my facial hair is thin. I am just saying, I’m still learning new tricks. Now I have to settle on a new plan B since this entertainment media shit is first.

And I think I figured it out. So I worked at call centers mostly. Normal day, I got 4 – 5 compliments on my voice. Customer’s alway’s talking about I’m so smooth, I should be a radio jockey (I semi-agree). All my friends tell me I am a great listener whenever they need an ear and because I am so learned and experienced, my advice is always on point. I love drugs and always wonder how they interact with different people’s personalities. So I put all of this shit in a cup and mixed it up like Clyde McPhatter and I figured out a very focused and lucrative and decent plan B.

I’m gone be the black Frazier. I need to re up on my teaching shit for plan B help, and keep milking this corporate tit a few more years to nice up a broke ass teacher’s salary, but I can see the future. This post is more just speaking it into fruition than being a pompous conceited asshole.

It is written.
