Happy Birthday to me!

Well, I made it! Another year down and many more to pray for. Why do I say this? I don't want to end up like my Pop did with him not taking care of his self. So the next thing for me to do is sit down and start doing what I need to do for my health and my family. Finances is of course first and foremost because without that my family won't be able to make it. Game time is over. I have goals that I must meet and I am falling behind in making them happen. I will be what it is I set out to be .... THE BEST. I want to out do a bunch of my family members and that is just me. That's what I have to do. I don't want to owe my mother close to a million dollars in business ventures. I don't want to be behind the power curve when it comes to school anymore. I don't want to let the only Grandmother that I have let down anymore (We have finally become friends after 28 years of my life). These are all goals that are personal to me. The rest is for me to take care of my family and make sure that they are taken care of, period! That's my gift to myself for my 31st Birthday.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving all. I know it's kind of late but what were you thankful for this year? I was thankful to begin a new financial life. Being able to remove myself out of bankruptcy and gaining a little more power with my credit. I am also thankful for my wife of 7 years and the fact that she always has my back. I know we give each other a lot of grief but it's worth it in the end. I love my wife and thank god everyday for her. Thank you all. So, like I said, what were you thankful for this year?

Feeling better where I am.

Things I am beginning to feel all over again seems to be positive. TRADOC has drained me bur has also taught me my job. Now that I am here back in FORCOM , I can now focus on being an an NCO. That's a shame that I have to leave one installation to become what I know I can be. I have to prove that to myself, my wife, and the piece of shot 1SG that I left behind. Negativity is such a motivator and I know from that experience that I will never let this happen to me again.

Here froggie!

Man check this shit out. I was chillen in the living room of the new house when the wife starts saying, oh my god! I asked her what was wrong and she said there is a frog on the window. I had to take this pic and post it! Lol! Have a blessed day!

Paying Final Respects to Victor.....

It's amazing to see family rejoin at the bold request of a fallen member. All it seemed to be was the needing to bring family together. I can say that I miss Victor but in my own way. He loved his family and all he ever wanted was to be with his family at any given time. There will always be a place for him in my house and I know that he will be watching over his "FAMILY". For that I will forever be greatful. Thank you for letting me know what it means.... the word FAMILY!!!!! I miss you dude!

I went to my first meeting

I went to my first lodge meeting since becoming and it was an expeirence. To see how things went was an outstanding event. I can't wait til I settle down in Hinesville so that I may get more intact and one with my craft. I thanked all my brothers for the final time for the acceptance into the brother hood and wished them well.

Our Fallen Angel

On Saturday, October 3rd 2003, we lost a beautiful person in our lives. My wifes's cousin, Victor, was taken from us. Watch the link and see what happened.

http://www.weartv.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wear_vid_4311.shtml

It is a sad day when the people who were meant to protect and serve, takes the life of a loved one for no appearent reason. These actions are wrong and need to be corrected ASAP!!

Really need to leave this fucking place!

Is it so important to bug me in school to do a mission you should of thought about before me getting into school? I put it out there, I'm going to school you guys might want to start planning for me to get ready to leave. No, I get a phone call on my last day of school talking about we need you to come in at 2:00 in the morning to drop off the water buffalo, get ammo, and have it all there before 4:00 in the morning. What kind of shit is that??? That's the main reason I want to get out of here. This place just drains the life out of you and just about makes you want to kill people and become as Racist as the people you work for. Fucking Good Ol' Boy system. Fuck it, I'm out. I really can't take the stupidity anymore. I react when told and this is the thanks I get! Well fuck you even. I'm about me right now and that's all that matters!

Good Morning!!!

Good morning all! It's rainy out today and I wish I was in the house sleeping! Was up watching Lucky # Sleven last night and it was a good movie. Today we are taking our final test and then we are done! I really need to do the Safety Course so that I will be complete. I hate the fact that I am doing a course that says "Commanders" on it. That's not my place at all. Getting ready to finish up and get gone. I figure that after this I will go ahead and take the rest of Tuesday off and then from there clear my CIF Hand Receipts and I am done. Speaking of which I gotta make sure that Henderson finished installing the rest of the property on the commanders hand receipt. I will talk with y'all later. One!

Good Morning!!!!

Good Morning all. Well it's the weekend and ready to enjoy another leisure full afternoon. I will be finishing up my house tomorrow as I wake up. I just didn't feel like doing anything today because I've had a busy week. Doing tests and all at BNCOC. I am looking forward to handling all of my business right now as it stands in prepping to leave here and move on to Fort Stewart. Got so many other issues coming around that I just want to dip out of here. I don't know. But hey it's worth it in the end. I know that I am posting this a little late but I need to make sure that I am working to keep up with myself on the blogging. LOL. Anyway, I will holla at all of you later! One!

RIP Mr. Magic ( Oct. 2, 2009)

Wow today we lost one of our forefathers in the Hip Hop Culture! He will be well missed. RIP Mr. Magic!!!

Mr. Magic

Legendary DJ Mr. Magic has died from a heart attack, AllHipHop.com has confirmed with various sources.

Mr. Magic was a legendary DJ who debuted in 1979 on a pay-to-play broadcast on WHBI 105.9's "The Mr. Magic Disco Showcase."

In 1983, he launched "Mr. Magic's Rap Attack," in New York City which featured a young DJ Marley Marl in addition to future Co-Chillin Record label owner Tyrone “Fly Ty” Williams.

Mr. Magic, born John Rivas, was also a co-founder of the legendary Hip-Hop collective The Juice Crew, which featured Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Marley, Marl, MC Shan, Craig G., Kool G. Rap and Masta Ace.

Mr. Magic’s radio show influenced countless of artists, ranging from rappers like Tupac Shakur, KRS-One, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Eric B. and Rakim, DJ Premier and countless others.

“He paved the way for all radio stations that ever did mix shows,” DJ Premier said via his blog. “Also sparked the career of Boogie Down Productions due to the diss he showed when they came to shop their demo to him and was turned away which then sparked “South Bronx” and “The Bridge is Over.”

Mr. Magic was featured as a DJ on 2002’s Grand Theft Auto’s fictitious radio station Wildstyle Pirate Radio.

Good Mornting!!!!

Good Mornting! Yeah I said it, Morningt!!!!! It's Friday and all I can think about is hurrying through this class and making it what I need to make of it? Finished! Damn, I can't believe it's already close to the time to say goodbye to all of my BNCOC / ALC Company!!!! But what can I say, we had fun the 2 weeks that we spent with each other and made things happen. That's the best I can say on that note. Also, the fact that we have taken in so much during class is a plus also. The weekend is here and I got a lot of work to do. Between cleaning out two cars and getting oil changes within in the next couple of weeks, clearing my hand receipts so that I can head out of here, and just get all my information together so that I can go to BNCOC Phase II with no problems. That's a lot to do with in the next couple of days!!!! WOW! Anyway, I will talk to you guys later! ONe!

Follow the movement!!!

Hey all you can follow the movement also on the Grand Jury Allstars Page. Check us out

www.grandjuryallstars.blogspot.com This is the second best place to be!

Good Morning!!!!

Wow what's going on today??? We had to wake up ass early in the morning to see a fellow NCO get promoted but they wouldn't let us see our instructor get promoted. What kind of shit is that??? I don't understand that. But any way, we test today and get ready to handle another day a pure unadulterated boredum. Why? Because this is basically the block of that will end the course. I strongly can't wait to see what will happen after this. I am ready to go to Fort Stewart. This place is getting really depressing. Seriously!!! Anyway... Holla back!!!!

All day!!!

Damn, I went all day without blogging and letting you know how my day went. Well first off it sucked. PT was good but everything else sucked. We had to deal with the Spartans sitting in with our class and it just about threw the entire class left field because we had covered certain classes and we didn't know their status. Then had to del with that just about all day so yeah it sucked. I got to say though I got to take care of a few more things and I think that will cover me. 2 more tests and I will be done but I do have to handle my Commandera Safety Course and I will be 100 percent complete I can say I am learning about researchability to a nutshell I just got to be able to start handling boards. After that I think everything will be alright. Talk to you later bloggers!

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Just got through

Just got through with my test and it's sad that i have to dump my brain of all I learned. I wish that things would go faster with the class because this shit is getting boring. Later all!

Good Morning!!!

Good Morning All! It's another wonderful day here in Blogland! I woke up this morning at a decent hour to take care of all I needed to take care of and I feel dreadfully tired still. I went to sleep about 7:30 last night and woke up about 5:30 this morning. Well all I need to do now is past the test this morning and be motiviated to handle all of my buisness. But that is almost another stroy. I will hit y'all later on today from the iPhone so watch out for that. Later!

Craziness!

Well how do I strat of about today? I did PT this morning and was well pumped to keep going but had to head home in order to hop a fresh! (Can't go to work smelling like shit you know) Anyway I caught a fresh and headed back to work and receive a phone call from my XO this morning, "Hey, SGT Powell" he says and finishes with "the Commander needs to see you because there are some discrepencies with the Hand Receipts". As usual the compnay needs SGT Save-A-Company. Why is it that every time I head to do something that is self developing for myself my phone always blows the hell up?! I went to the Rentention Course back in April, they blew up my phone, SGT Simpson goes to WLC, they blow up my phone, now I'm in BNCOC Phase I and they blowing my up once again. Things will hopefully get better down the road I'm guessing.... Well I'll hit you back later, ONe!

Good Morning!!!!

Good Morning!!!! Well today is the 28th of September. What is so important about today? My Cuzin B-Mor's Birthday is today and I wanted to wish him a special one seeing that he is in Basic Training right now with the Navy. That's right, my boy said that he wanted to step up to the challenge and get some money out of the deal. Good job, dude! I hope you are enjoying it. On another note, today is filled with a bunch of learning on how to become a stronger leader with the knowledge from the NCOA, Noncommisioned Officer Academy. Very interesting couple of days so far. I am enjoying and can't wait to get further in depth. Take care, I will holla back later!!! ONe!

A Method Man Moment

I had to take advantage of this Method Man moment. What do y'all think?

Finally it has been said!

Okay all, listen up because this is important!!! I was up early this morning watching some YouTube because my TV bought it this morning and something crossed my eyes. It was Lil Wayne's take on the Bloods and Cripts. Finally, someone has said it..... "Gangs will always be there"! Yeah he said it but then he goes off and says that it started off with something bigger than a gang and that the gangs can evolve!!! EVOLVE!!!! OMG!!! That's right it has been said. Basically to every action there is a reaction.... To every negative the positive will come out. Keep that in mind. I am a Mason! I know who my friends are and the things they do or have done! Realize this, we go out and do our Community Service, but we do party and hang out together as a gang when we are gathered! It's just a matter of time when we all will come together and run what needs to be ran the way it should be!!!!

Blue Print 3

Wow! I finally way down and listened to BP3 and you know I am happy J
came out of retirement. It's almost true, the game would be nothing
right now because it was going down the drain at one piont while he
was gone. Now things are getting so better with the game that if
someone said something against it the would get smacked. I listended
to thank you and that is a smooth flow on it's own because of what is
offered. It's more than a classical Jay Z CD, it's a classic. On the
level Reasonable Doubt was on, I know that he can get hisself back in
the primere level once he does, it's over!

The future is now because tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.

BlakRoc

Yo, I sat down today and was listening to the BlakRoc shit that Dame
Dash got going. Now I am severely impressed with the group he is
working with! These cats got some serious heart for real. I was
sitting back puffing on a black on the way home from work and said to
myself that I think I will start workng o. Critiquing people work on
another blog spot. I'm going to call it "The Verdict". One thing I
still love is Hip Hop and I will never let that slip from me. And
thanks to BlakRoc I will strive on that once again. Just gotta be
petient. Holla back people!

A Tribute to Studio One

Studio one is another Sound System I grew up on. Check this out!!!

Simply the BEST!!!!

Dennis Brown.... What can I say? This is a guy my mother and step-father raised me on the music of this G-E-N-I-O-U-S!!!!! I love his music to the fullest and I would have to say my favorite song is Rain Drops. It is a classic! Dennis LeRoy Brown will alway be the one I listen to when it comes to calming down for the day and just simply relax. He is my R n B artist. So to you Dennis... nuff respect!

Jailbreaking the iPhone

Wow, I've been working on Jailbreaking my iPhone for the last couple of days. It's crazy because there is so many different things that can be done to an iPhone. I am enjoying this because there is so many different things out there. I can't wait! I am severely out there searching for all different things out there that should be very interesting. I know that I said that I would keep in touch today on Twitter but my phone died on me. Sorry about that people. Love ya!

Ready for another day!

Today is a new day and I must say it the weekend too! So what's my
plans, clean house and get eveything in order to move out of Columbia.
I will keep you all posted through Twitter on my well doings of the
day. Later!

Good Night America

Well America, it's been a good couple of nights for the last couple of
evenings. It has been stress and argument free. I think things are
getting better with me and the wife and I think it's because we are
getting ready to head out to Hinesville in under 30 days. I graduate
from in BNCOC in a week and a half and after that I clear and head
out. Thongs are seeming to be a little more lax and we are planning to
get the house together and hopefully I won't get deployed good night
all!

Dave P the 1 and only

Isn't she lovely?

A vision of beauty just reading her book. She was so lost in that world!

Look at her!

Look at my baby! Don't she look so damn educated?! She has finished reading the first 3 books of the twilight series. She is on the last book now and I am just on page 8 of my book! LOL!!! Well I will see what's going on after I am done watching football.

Bout to go to BNCOC Phase I sign in!

Well I went in today to sign in for my BNCOC Class. I felt great to be making steps towards getting out of Columbia. I am down to about 32 days left and out the door I go. I can't wait, this shit is going to be a storm when I leave out! Oh yeah!!!!

Lil Momma screwed herself!

Lil Momma? Let me ask you a question. Did you really have to ruin your career with what you got going on right now? I mean, there was no need for you to do such a thing. None!!! Momma you messed yourself up. It would surprise me if Randy Jackson says, no more, to you. I think this will be your last season of ABDC. Sorry to say it like that!

Good Morning!!!!

Wow! This is almost to much to be real. I am going through a different feeling and way about my life and you know what, I am liking it! Last night me and the wife laid in bed reading a book and you know what it had an enjoyable feeling. The fact that we are getting ready to leave South Carolina and heading to Hinesville, GA seems to be rekindling a flame that once was seems to be feeling outstanding. I am enjoying it. I love my wife and I am beginning to feel what she is saying about friends, seriously! I am just happy that things are getting hella better and that I can feel the way that I am feeling. Recharged. I attend BNCOC Phase I starting today to get registered and from there I start class tomorrow. I will be clearing my hand receipts starting either Monday or Tuesday evening after class. I just can't wait to be out of this hell hole! Where everything is revolved around the Drill Sergeant. I want to thank God for making this happen for me and that I can move forward from this misery!

On a chill Saturday

It's been a chill Saturday. I've been in and out of the house today
because my wife is getting her head done. One thing I can't wait for
is to get back to Hinesville where I really wouldn't have to shoffer
the wife because she will know where she is going instead of always
using the excuse" I don't know how to get there". Oh I can't wait!

Dave P the 1 and only

It official!!!!!

I am officially done with Delta Company 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment! As of 16:59 this evening, that is 4:59 PM to you civies, I have done my last task for Delta Company! The only thing I have left to do is to clear my hand receipts with the company and I am out of here come the 22nd of October! That is a dream come true! OMG!!!!!! GIVE ME FREE!!!! It has come! YES!

Good Morning!

Good morning! It's a good morning for me. This is my last day on this
damn company! All I have left to do is clear my hand receipts and
"bugger off". I'm going to get some IHOP for breakfast and finish up
the last little bit needed to do. It's going to be a good day.

Miami Vs. GT

Yes, this is the game of the week. The U vs. Georgia Tech! I've been
looking forward to this since we beat Florida St. We knocked off
number 18 and became number 20. Now that shows that Miami is coming
back! All hail the ACC!

Moving to Fort Stewart

Getting ready to move to Fort Stewart in about 4 weeks. Things are
beginning to feel a whole better because I am going somewhere
comfortable. I like it here in SC but being on Fort Jackson in a BCT
unit just sucks ass. I strongly wish that this would go a whole lot
faster. Maybe getting out of here will be a hell of a lot better for
me anyway. Love you all later!

Putting my foot in my mouth!

After the conversation and male bashing that has occured against me tonight I now know that I will be indoors from now on. I've learned my lesson and know now that my eyes and my context in words are my problem. I admitted to my fault in saying what I said about Lauren London, but I am paying for it. I will be taking orders from Drill Sergeant Powell and doing what is being said. She's back!!!!!!!!

Doing my Transportation Appointment

Wow! The day finally is coming around the corner! I am doing my
transpo appointment for the government to pick up my household goods.
Now that I got that going I only have a few days left. 1SG is getting
ready to do my NCOER for me to PCS and things seems to be going my
way. Today might just be a good day after all. Next stop, working on
BNCOC Phase 1. Thank you Jesus for all of "your support".

Growing up again

Wow, there are a bunch of things that I know is going on and I am happy that I am getting to where I need to be. I know that I am working back to get my E-6 so that I can make something out of nothing. This is a cool thing but I have to stay motivated to do it. That is the hard part of it.

SGT Save-A-Company

I know that there is a lot going on and I have a lot to complete. Got an inspection in the morning for an office I have nothing to do with. Get things in line for me getting ready to go to school and also clear my hand receipt. So yes I do have my hands filled in the morning. I might even have to pull a weekend out of my behind. Just to get things ready for next Wednesday. So wish me luck all. I have to do another mans work again to make the company look good. Call me SGT Save-A-Company! LOL.

BP3

Yup, I got my copy of BP3! I'm back in. Jamming to my boy Jay all over again. That's what's up! Pissed that my cousin got the one up on me by going to the concert. I'll get my chance one day soon. Might watch it on DVD (LOL). But I wen to the Hard Knock Life Tour. Back stage passes and all. Even got to see Jay, Dame, and X from back in the day. When Def Jam came out as the shit. Anyway, thing are getting ready to rumble. Gotta make so Pork Chops and Mac-N-Cheese! Holla back at y'all.

Something New

Well there is a lot to be said about the iPhones and I will have to say it's something new. I love it. This damn phone does everything any man or a tech woman would want in a phone. Apple did a great job coming up with a device like this and I am happy that I own one. Apple keep up the good work with the development of this device and hopefully when the time comes I will upgrade to the 3Gs. I love the 3G though. It does all that I need for it to do as of now. My wife is also enjoying this device so as I would say, keep it up. Later

Blogging from iPhone

Well I am blogging from the iPhone and it seems like a great thing to
do. It's mobile and I can do this just about any given Sunday. This is
cool as shit. I will hit y'all up later. One!

What I am becoming

I've been sitting here thinking of many ways to become how I want to be. A man of distinction. Why do I say this? With this day and age, I know that I want to become the old me with a new twist. And that will only happen when I get to Fort Stewart, GA. I constantly tell people I can't wait until I get there and that is all I praise about. Getting out of Fort Jackson and heading to Fort Stewart. I know from there things will only get better. I am also doing school at the same time so I know that I will get to where I want to be. Seriously. Will talk to all of you later. ONe.
