War Studies

The intellectual part of me sits here and studies, while the rest of me tries to tame the animal inside. Concentration is the prize. This is a war neither of us will survive.

Dear Hard Work

NOTE: the following does not belong to me. I did not write or create this. All credit goes to  ADAMwontLOSE and Ripped Freak. This was just so amazing I had to repost it for all of y'all to see. Check out the video on YouTube or on CutandJacked.com entitled "Dear Hard Work" to see why I love this so much. "Dear Hard Work, I used to hate you, When you called my name, I heard it but ran away from you, When I knew you were coming, I used to hide from you, When you influenced others to talk to me, I quickly made excuses to get away from you. Afraid of the pain because I didn’t want to get hurt Afraid to fail, so I didn’t even try Afraid of the shame that you might put me through and Afraid of your name because of what you have done to others.

A Message of Hope- "Allahu Akbar"

 Allahu Akbar Written: Feb.25/15 for an English class Posted: Nov. 15/ 15 By: Gabriel Janas  *All rights reserved to the author*  Foreword : In the wake of the recent terrorist attacks on Paris, France (on November 13, 2015), the bombing of a funeral in Baghdad, Iraq (on November 13, 2015) , the bombing in Beirut, Lebanon ( on November 12, 2015), and the student massacre at Garissa University College in Kenya (on April. 2, 2015) I have been troubled by feelings of grim despair about the state of the world.  I have long ago given up watching or reading the news as it can drive any sane person to bouts of depression with all the atrocities human beings continuously commit on one another.  Just like 9/11, some news is inescapable regardless of the precautions taken to avoid any such news at all.  I found myself pondering a great many things in my grim thoughts today.  I wondered if the world was gearing up for another massive world war....

In another life

Image
                In   another life you could be whatever you wanted to   be.    No responsibility, no law to hold you down, no moral code if you so wished.   You could go wherever you wished, do whatever you wanted, you could be whoever you wanted to be.   You could be a youthful heir to a multibillion dollar empire.   The world at your feet, every whim served to you on a silver platter.   You could be a honest labor, working the day away, the power of creation and destruction found in the palm of your hand.   Only the people you answer to will have any control of the fate of your designs.   You could be an artist, molding, painting and shaping the world around you.   No one understands your inner turmoil, only the vague interpretations they offer with the criticism of your work.   You could be the preacher, spreading messages of faith and guidance to ...
