I spent my time alone in contemplation. Even when I stopped by the shop to have my birthday cigar and communicating with everyone wishing me happy birthday.
Things were missed.
Moments were reflected on.
Appreciated some things.
Decisions were made.
After finding out I had a broken rib and confirming my thought about having pneumonia again last weekend. I have been recovering while handling everything that is going on.
The Man.
The Dominant.
The Entity.
Have all taken a beating in this tour of duty. But the MONSTAR just won't stop!
I smoked a Plascencia Arturo Fuerte and was surprised at the Davidoff Escurio cigar Steve got for my birthday since it was a fuller flavor and strength instead of their usual light as air flavor and strength.
Came to the house and pull up to have a white kid run into my yard talking about Mr help me they pulled a gun out on me and my friend. Now I remember seeing the white boy and a black kid on bikes when I was getting the mail. And that something was said by passengers in a suv before it seemed like the suv tried to back over the kids. But I figured it was some playing around. That wasn't the case. So I had to change my mindset to a shooting one. Meaning inventorying who is on the street and the likelihood of bullets going through houses and killing others. But apparently those in the suv realized it was not in the best interest to drive off. So i called the cops to handle the boy and the situation. it made me think about how things have become with people, society and the government. There are normally not a bunch of issues in the neighborhood but things are only getting worse each day everywhere. The big black man in the corner house would have been the issue and not kids riding around threatening and shooting would have been the headline if it had gone different. But that is why I contacted my people on the police force and swat as well. But hey, I did my good deed.
The rest of the evening was back to quiet and thanking everyone for their birthday wishes, gifts and all.
The number definitely made me think about what it was representing from my past. Hey, I am still beating black man and alien life expectations by leaps and bounds!
Back to the gauntlet. Have a good one.
