Life As I See It

So I think I'm going to start doing reviews. Alright! So I purchased the album Apple Danish by Takamaru Gaiden..... https://bandcamp.com/christopher_bostic 👈 click here for this and MORE! (Editor's note: I'm not the artist I'm just a reviewer lol) So it popped up on my notifications at 12:45 in the morning. I listened to it in it's entirety, which typically I'd do eventually with J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus albums. It's a pretty good album. Intrance (yes I know I it's spelled "entrance") starts with a demand for an unknown device to turn on the TV. I personally think that he used Google Home 😂. Apple Danish is something new and exciting, but familiar. It's 22-23 plus tracks and it's something for everyone. My personal favorites are Vennus, Heller, and Hateno (for anyone who loves Breath of the Wild) It's a digital celebration for every occasional occurrence. I highly recommend that you give it a listen and

Warning: This may trigger some people of different cultural heritages and races so I apologize for the following stance. But I however, am not apologetic for the reasonings behind it. Let's get it. I, as a black in 2,019th year of the Lord feel the following about abortion: I am Pro-Choice for the following reasons: 1) a child should not be the forced to live in the world where we don't even know where we are headed. 2) Not all doors opened lead to a safe room but not all doors lead to chaos either. 3) as we currently are, we have no safeguard from others (sometimes not even ourselves). The reason why I am pro-choice because I feel like just because people have sex doesn't mean they are inherently obligated to have a kid on the off choice that a baby is introduced into the equation. Because as any seasoned parent will tell you: there is nothing that can prepare you for the experience of having a kid. I also feel as though an abortion shouldn't be an automatic c

What's up world? Seeing as how I feel that I will be the only one that reads this I'll spare you the intro. Feeling like I'm sprung, the person attached to this post is still attached to me..... I'm in a whole relationship with someone else but make moves as if she's still relevant to my present. Her presence were presents when I can afford to pay the price for the rentals. But I know that she and I are 2 different wavelengths. She wants to see how high she can get. I am going to see how far I can go and how much I can learn as I go. Been up since one today and she's been on my mind a lot. It's days from my birthday and I still wonder if I'll get a "hey Chris, I hope you have a wonderful birthday....Nix 😘" type message. Doubt it, but one can dream right? Hell I wonder if she even thinks of me.... Tuh, even if she does , there's nothing I can do to change the circumstances. A whole bunch of arguing about why we shouldn't date after 10 y

As I listen to the titular song of this post by the great Marvin Gaye, it's a day before your 27th birthday and I suddenly want you to do things that I have never wished for you to experience in life. I, as a person who wishes for the best for everyone that I have and haven't had a chance to meet in this world, wish the worst things for you to experience. Nothing that'll can kill you though. I now understand that it's a cop out that you don't deserve to receive. I gave you 10 years of my life, and you threw it to the wind.... And for what?? A bisexual college ex? A God that you believe in not because it's appropriate but because of the fact that believing is the only thing that you can do to help stabilize the chaotic nature you've developed. So as I sit here and want you to want me just as I have always wanted you. I realize that I have been looking at it incorrectly. You're smarter than me by numerical viewpoints but the moments I have been cut and

To Leroy and Darnetta, "Where's your empathy nigga? I promise I see the bitch in these niggas." - Clifford "T.I." Harris I'd like to apologize for my consent to the opportunity to consummation of a sexual relationship in December. To make the assumption that you would capable of doing it and then pushing forward with life (y'know Adulting) proved to be a mistake that would be extended for almost 6 months. But to be honest, I'm not sure why I expected it to start and end because of how it started: Darnetta, You simply asked if we could have a threesome. In which after our past experiences, I became nervous about saying "no" because I didn't want you to step out and cheat again. But then my mind starts working in overtime to see just how faithful to me you would be to the relationship (because you claimed to have had an epiphany after I broke up with you for Iniki.) But then again habits die hard right? So I began to list the peop

Day by day, I'm gaining the courage to try.....eyes this is Try new things; meet new people, head to new places...... that's how you expected to start this right? Well allow me to shed some light for you: While yes, I am gaining the courage to try, I'm also gaining the steely resolve to be the same person I'd like to say that I'm naturally developing into: A gregarious introvert that is learning two types of rights and wrongs. The two types that I'm learning are the ones that society dictates (Y'know the one that seems to change Forever and always) and the other is the one that I have set for myself. There's a big difference between the two. For example society says that now abortion is illegal (in their eyes, this is a good thing; I on the other hand disagree with this logic.) Now if anyone reads this and grabs A tiki torch and demands to know why I feel this way, hear me out: A) Women should be given the option as to whether or not they want to

This is what I play for..... To separate the loyal person from the person who is here to bide the time. But that's whatever though: Training Day This is what I've prepped for, This is what I bled for. A means to an end; this what I've used my head for. From victim to victor; from living in history to people HIS-tory. I've always been a man of the people; seeking perfection like a man of the steeple. It seems like something I've always wanted.... something I've always dreamed like; something I've always wanted to be like. College graduate, seeing the world in a new way, learning more about the position I play like I was born in a new day. Cuts, scraps, and bruises; I'm not new to this. Blood, sweat and tears, through it all I do this. Wake up, make up, standing straight up. West Georgia energy with a Morehouse man's make up. As the light dims overhead to show me live on my own. I remember: this is the first quarter, let me show you how I

"No Promethazine I’m a king, no leaning I got a better way to fight these demons Fuck do you know ‘bout my pain?" No drugs, no alcohol, no chemicals....... Graduating 4 times with no cop outs, no escape from the life I've been born into. No Masters degree, no cars or apartments to my name, I've been the underdog from jump. Scary to admit, I've done it to myself. Patiently waiting for the opportunity to to prove to myself that I am all that I believe that I am; good for some, bad for others. So as I stand here to look at where I am. I also have to look at where I came from. So again I ask you: "Fuck do you know about my pain?"

They say you can't have light without shadows..... As I sit typing this post, I can't help but feel like as light-hearted as I am, that binding shadow of my second life. That part of me that wants to result to the late nights, the long conversations, the future plans without regards to the days coming up. The lies we'd like so desperately to be the truth; the one and only truth. To hug you and smell Moon Stone on your neck..... To be made aware of the pieces of us we gave each other we exchanged. How we can to this day watch from afar and be comforted in knowing if no one else cares about us; that we've got each other's hearts still..... But I'm not the same person I was then. That person died 9/29/2013 back when ignorance was bliss......

June 2008 until present: She's been following me, in my thoughts; in my heart and in my spirit. Darkened skins, eyes that don't lie, hips that can take you on a trip, and an intelligence that can challenge even the ones with doctorates... But even as we argue, fuss and go through our phases; I watch her and she watches me. Are we one in the same? Maybe. We have each other's hearts; hand over fist. I love her; and she loves me; always and forever. But I'm sure I'm dreaming now....... Aren't I?

So sometimes, I'll ask people about the type of day they're having: an A Day or a B Day, meaning: how are you looking at the glass; half full or half empty? For me, I look at it like: "who cares about the glass? What's in the glass is the question." I try to imagine that it has tea in it. I love tea! Green tea, black tea, white tea, red tea. I love tea. But that's besides the point. I try to look at it realistically. If it's too low, I'll try to fill up. If it's too high I'll drink some to reach half. Regardless, I don't like to feel too happy or too sad. But I have developed a happy medium. Not too happy; not too sad. What do you think about A days and B days?

We're born into a country that nowadays many die in by force; few are willing to die in and even fewer are willing to die for. The officers, firemen, EMT's and such are fighting to save lives in a country where those same lives don't amount to as much as they used to. We now live in a world where victims can point a finger at someone and it's misinterpreted and shut down for profit. Back when I was growing up, disrespect wasn't tolerated; telling your mom that you hated her was out of pocket and would get you beat up. Now? You see mothers getting arrested for disciplining their kids when caught breaking into a neighbor's house. We now live in a country where the president can throw a fit and destabilize the livelihood of almost a million people.....

So I'm now employed; and Uncle Harris left me with these tips: Advice: 1) Learn everything about your job as good and fast as possible. 2) Become indispensable and needed. 3) Take every opportunity to get more training that your company will pay for...including conferences and webinars. 4) Consider doing some of the "thankless" jobs/tasks" that others might shy away from and excel at them. 5) Set your eyes and goals on your next/ideal position at your company and diplomatically strive for it. 6) Find a Mentor! 7) Don't focus on being necessarily liked but focus on being respected for your work. 8) DON'T GET YOUR HONEY WHERE YOU GET YOUR MONEY! 9) Arrive 15 minutes early and leave 15 minutes after your scheduled time... whether you are paid for it or not. 10) Sometimes you have to agree to disagree and not always try to bring people to your side if thinking. Please refer to the aforementioned often (weekly) during your first six months). OK...?
