“So, hands in the air, let’s hear it for
The start of a brand new America”

– Eminem on “Like Home

It’s been a crazy year, hasn’t it? I’m thinking about the political season of 2020 and how divisive things got. In reality, I feel like it would’ve been even worse if people were going out more. But in a unique year, things played out the way they did. One takeaway I did get from political season 2020 is the importance of unifying…especially with the election behind us.

Before I get ahead of myself, welcome to the Ajaxxx.com December 2020 Opinions Column. If you’re new to the site, this is the place where I talk about what’s on my mind and what I’m thinkin’ about. If you’re returning to the site, welcome back! And with that said, let’s talk about coming together.

“Gotta get it together forever”
– Phife Dawg on A Tribe Called Quest’s “The Space Program”

Last month, I spoke about the important of coming together. This month, especially as a result of the recent election, I must re-emphasize that. Instead of just talking on coming together though, I wanted to talk about overcoming division. It’s somewhat of the same idea, but it’s different in a way too. Coming together doesn’t necessarily address the severed ties that we have and the differences that separate us. By titling this “overcoming division”, I wanted to tackle the topic of why we’re divided in the first place and why it’s so important to overcome that. This one’s gonna be a goody.

Before that though, welcome to the Ajaxxx.com November 2016 Opinions Column. This is where I’ll talk about what’s on my mind, as I always do. Here goes…

“We get together like a choir, to acquire what we desire”
– Jay-Z on “Can’t Knock the Hustle

Sometimes, I look around and become amazed and how divided people have become. For us, as a nation, to be in the same boat and want the same things…and be so hateful towards each other…it surprises me. Now, I realize it’s not everyone and the media tends to exaggerate how bad it is…but when you see it yourself, it’s krazy. And so I’m writing this Opinions Column tackling a topic I’ve talked on before…coming together…again.

Before diving too deep though, let’s rewind a second and welcome you to the October 2016 Opinions Column. For those that are new to the site, welcome welcome…this is where I talk about whateverrr’s on my mind. For those returning, welcome back! And here we go.

“Racism still alive, they just be concealin’ it”
– Kanye West on “Never Let Me Down

Coming together. It can mean different things to different people. For some, it might be about joining forces or holding hands to get on the same page. For others, it might be about developing plans and building towards them until they come to fruition. To me though, it’s both….and I believe by doing the former, we can do the latter.

What’s up my peoples? Welcome to the December 2015 Opinions Column. For those that’re new to the site, this is the sole spot where I talk about anything and everything going on in my head. For those that’re returning, you already know how we does. While I’ve spent the last few entries talking about how busy life is, I won’t get into all that this month (maybe I will, who knows). I do wanna talk about what I’ve been feeling lately….about coming together and why I feel like it’s more important than ever.
