i love when two worlds collide. i’ve been a big fan of the grits and eggs podcast. i’ve stop listening to just about ever other podcast cause they ain’t really saying nothing in comparison to to grits and eggs. if you know you know. and ali siddiq has been a comedian ive been keeping my eye on since his domino effect special on youtube. a four-part comedy special that is more than just laughs and giggles, it’s character, it’s part of this man’s soul. they sat down today and made for some beautiful discussion that i felt like sharing with you guys. hope you enjoy.

BNP101.X Episode 24.2: Please Standby. We’re Experiencing Technical Difficulties
Sorry, after posting yesterday I was informed that audio couldn’t be hear. Come to find out nothing got recorded for the original episode 24 other than my voice here and there. Instead of trying to recreate that session, i just decide to record a whole another show. which i think came out better than the original. i guess that first session was just to shake off the rust. but that being said i checked the audio, did my test and fixed whatever was going on with the record software. WE BACK BABY! live and in full effect! enjoy and thank you for your patience through these difficult times.

like who likes you
as a teen and even as a young man, you chase women and people that you want or desire to have around you. you might like their physical attributes or the idea of having them in your life. you might even dream about having this person next to you because of what you’ve built them up to be in your mind but a lot of times you’re just chasing that, a dream. a figment of your imagination, and that person is nothing like you’ve built them up to be. and because you’re chasing something that isn’t real you allow yourself to get stepped on and become less of yourself to please them. i heard a pimp once stay like the one that likes you. because that person is with you because they have a genuine interest in being with you. they’ve looked at you and said i like this person so they accept you for who and what you are. there is no chasing, no games to be played. everything that’s done for each other is out of appreciate, love and care. with no hooks at the end of their actions trying to get something out of you. go where you are celebrated and no just tolerated, things will be much smoother and you’ll find that the love you develop for one another is natural.

blind faith
i was listening to a grits and eggs podcast and they were speaking on faith stunting a person growth and it got me thinking. because at one time my faith was stunting my growth and i have seen people, like my father, faith limit and or restrict them because they can’t see beyond what the church has told them. i had to step away from the church because i was at alter crying every weekend.. because i’m being told by my parents that i’m a bad person, that if i don’t listen to them that i was going to be punished by god and ultimately go to hell. being a child and having no understanding of the world around you and not being able to question anything, your worldview become very small. you just start to do thing because that’s what you’ve been told to do, not understanding your own autonomy or having personal respect. you just follow what everyone around you is doing because thats what seems right.
man once stepped away and educated myself, began to understand what and who i am, where my people come from. i was able to love myself and respect myself because my faith didn’t supersede everything. and looking back it made me angry that was forced into the church without guidance of the actual world. I don’t know my lineage, or my grandmother, i don’t have family stories to pass on to my children. all i have is guilt for trying to pursue the things that make me happy and a long list of things i have to unlearn to continue to grow into the person i want to be. unfortunately i have to step away from my father because the church supersedes the relationship he has with his children. for him there is no question the church. and reading anything other than the bible is a disservice to myself. it sucks for real but it’s a sad truth. and no one, no matter who they are is worth me staying ignorant. I’ve been ignorant, and i’m upset i was so ignorant for so long, if only i had the opportunities for critical thought, and the understanding on reason.
a person has to be able to question and ask why. blind faith is not faith if you can think for yourself. anything reasonable and sound should be able to be questioned and not shun you for having any questions, big or small.
