Crucified by Dogs

Is it me or has this whole Michael Vick thing been ridiculous from the start ? I mean the man happened to fund and watch dogs fight !!! People have done far worse than Vick and didn't have to face the media scrutiny and losses that he has had to endure. This country is based on so many contradictions its not even funny. We value so many things that in other societies just wouldn't matter. Correct me if I'm wrong but people go hunting all the time..right ? What's so much more cruel about watching dogs fight than shooting a deer going about its day to day business just for your enjoyment ? Or training horses to race or other animal act; they all equate animal cruelty and if your going to punish one form of animal cruelty, you should be consistent enough to punish all !!!!
And then on top of that, King Goodell(Comissioner Goodell) finds it fit to suspend the man for up to 6 games after he's been in prison for 23 months and has lost an insurmountable amount of money !!! Furthermore the media paints him to be a problem child such as a Pacman Jones, when he's only had one run in which stemmed from this case. They also seemed to have forgotten that he was one of the golden boys of the league and the face of a franchise, as they now depict him as a completely unskilled quarterback who can't play in the NFL. If anything, the NFL is more suited now for his style of play than it was before he was forced to leave. If you don't believe me, turn on a NFL tv program and listen for how many times you here the word WILDCAT !!!
This whole thing has been upsurd to me from day one and nothing recently has done much to change my opinion. Give your former golden child the opportunity to return to stardom, if he succeeds you'll look like a true genius, if he fails, he wouldn't be the first. Just one thing to remember for Vick, good play makes everyone forget any transgression alla Kobe Bryant, Ray Lewis etc

Land Of The Free

Okay so I'll open my blog with something I was inspired to write last summer. I dont like to call my writings poems, songs or whatever other labels society has given them, but rather a collection of ideas. With that said, here it is:

How much longer will they continue to hold my ppl down in the land of the free,
Against our will, we’re treated continuously with much animosity.
They call us delinquents and view all of our behaviors as aggression,
But instead I’d call it our drive 2 make up for lost time while setting up a position.
A position where we’ll no longer be the slave nor (the) inferior,
Rather the master, the leader, the almighty superior.
We gota rise up over being considered the minority,
And aim towards upliftment out of this mental slavery.
Because this life God has given to thee all equal and one should not waste it,
I ask my ppl to wake up, reach out for what’s theirs n don’t b afraid to take it.
Let’s not procrastinate and wait one more second.
Because if Nat Turner had waited to send his ground breaking message,
We’d be nothing but the cotton pickers we’ve heard about in our unmistakable history.
So in this place of opportunity, like our ancestors before us,
its our turn to lead the new age revolt against the over bearing American Empire.
Calling all ages; elderly, middle age adults and minors,
Rise up for this cause, ‘cause all your help is dire.

Hello All

Hello all in da blog world. So I never really envisioned me joining this fad but summer o9 has given me a lot of free time along with me looking for somewhere to express my thoughts have led to the creation of my blog dreamzofsuccession AKA Transitioning From Fitting In to Standing Out. I'll be posting randomly; ideas, experiences etc. Where ever life takes me and I feel I should post, I will. With that said I hope all followers enjoy, I know I will be. Thanks
