“You’re so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like
It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
And it’s as though you feel you’ve died, cause you’ve been killed inside
But yet you’re still alive, which means you will survive”
– Eminem on “Beautiful Pain“
I thought when I got older, things would become more clear. Instead, there are more question marks than ever before. One thing I do know is, if I wanna get to where I wanna get, I gotta change my mentality. There’s gotta be a sense of urgency that takes over. Often times, I get bogged down by trivial issues that I lose sight of the main goal. Moving forward, I gotta change that. I gotta start thinking that the pressure’s on.
Whatup world! Welcome one and all to the December 2013 Opinions Column (holy crap, where did the year go?).

Here, I’ll talk about music, movies, sports…anything that is on my mind really. For those that’re returning to the site and those that’re regulars, welcome back! And thank you! With the formalities outta the way, let me talk about…pressure.
“Yup, meet Mr. International
On the runway more than a fashion show, y’know?”
– Talib Kweli on “Mr. International“
Sometimes it’s really healthy to get away from it all for a little bit. Whether it’s a week, a day, or even an hour, your mind functions better if it can break away from everything for awhile. I read that your brain doesn’t function as well without breaks and it’s good to “recharge.” Especially if you’re in a position of stress or if a lot of people need you for something, “escaping” for a little while helps put things into perspective…at least it does for me. It gives me time to reflect, to absorb, and more importantly, to breathe! Well, October was definitely one of those kinda months and I got my breather.
