30 Day picture Challenge- Day 6

Day 6

A picture of the person you'd like to change places with for a day

Of course I'm doing 2.

The first is Jay-Z and not just for the obvious reasons of being married to Bey, but because he is one of the most successful, respected, and honored people in not only his craft as a rapper, but also in the business world. IAlso, to be able to live that lavish lifestyle and I'd be able to just sit back and chill with Rihanna, Yeezy, Lebron, and whoever else I wanted to even if it is only just for one day, AND it doesn't hurt that I'd be married to the baddest in the game Bey!  Oh and please believe I'm sending a large sum of money to myself for when I switch back to myself the next day.

The second is Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James A. Cody.  Yeah it would be nice to have all the respect and honor from having the position of CMSAF and being the highest enlisted level of leadership in the Air Force.  Plus having routine conversations with President Obama would be nice, however my main reason for this selection is plain and simple to make an order to send SrA Charles Johnson back to Menwith Hill effective immediately.

30 Day picture Challenge- Day 5

I missed yesterday, so I'll do another one later on to make up for it and catch up.


DAY 5

A Picture of your favorite memory


In keeping up with the theme I have going so far, I have to do more than one picture hahah.  I have alot of good memories, to pick just one I have to go with my senior year of High School at THE Saint Jude High School.  From ending my track career with a state record under my belt and adding a third state championship to the two I already had from my Freshman and Sophomore year(still lowkey upset we didn't win my Junior year, but c'est la vie) all the way to my graduation night.

 

 

30 Day picture Challenge- Day 4

Day 4

A picture of your favorite night



I've had a lot of good nights, but if I had to choose one it would be this one, because this was just a random night we went out just a few of us, of course we met people out, but it was mainly just us few.  We started in the dorms and eventually made our way out into town. From good times starting in the dorms listening to music, joking around, and of course drinking, to trying to do the Madagascar face on the bus on the way to town, to random crazy dancing in the club just having an all around good time. It was just a fun filled drama free night(which were hard to come by sometimes) full of laughs and good times with good people which is why hands down this night was my favorite night.

I can't do just one, so here are just a few pictures from my favorite night. I know I would probably get fussed at for putting some of these on here if the people saw them but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day 3

Day 3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show.



I have a few favorite TV shows, I couldn't do just one so I'm going to cheat on this one and do a top 4.  They all have kind of different flavors to them, but all just as good as the other in my opinion. I love them all but if I had to rank them in order of my all time favorite here it is counting down from 4.



4)

The Wire                                                       

                                                                                    

No explanation needed I haven't met a person yet, who has seen the wire and isn't a fan. A true classic!

3) 

Law and Order SVU

I love SVU. I've seen every episode atleast three times and still will watch it whenever a marathon is on TV Just like I've never seen it before. This used to be #2 on my list but was replaced as soon as I got hooked on this next show.

2)

Scandal

The hottest and most addicting show on TV right now.  I didn't buy into the hype when it first came out, but I was bored one night and decided to check it out on netflix to see what all the hype was about. By the end of the first two episodes I was hooked.  It is definitely like I said before the best TV show on right now.  If you haven't seen it yet I recommend checking it out, but you have to start from season 1 and I guarantee you will become hooked like everyone else.

1)

Martin

Hands down my all time favorite show.  No matter how much I watch Martin(and believe me I watch it alot) it never gets old.  This show is a true classic, I can sit and watch it all day everyday and laugh at every episode non stop.  

Promises

Another one of my boredom thinking and writings. Enjoy or not. Much love and be blessed. - CJ

I promise you my life 
I promise this and more
All to you my future wife

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day 2

Day 2

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

My twin cousin Sha.  My closest relative in age only separated by a month and 15 days, we're cousins but most people say we look alike so hence the twin cousin part.  Sha is definitely the glue that keeps our family together.  She loves her family to death and would do anything for them.  I'm happy and proud to see the woman she has grown up to be, a loving Mother, daughter, Grand-daughter,sister cousin and neice, I have all the love in the world for my cousin and look up to her so much.  So without a doubt Sha is the person I have been closest with the longest.

*sidenote* I don't have any up to date pictures of us, so this had to do. lol

No title

Just something that makes completely no sense I came up with and started writing while bored and actually decided to share. Enjoy or not. Much love and be blessed.- CJ



Ever been in a relationship with someone who in their world they were your #1 girl?  They gave you their all, love, time, company and most of all heart and treated you like a true king, because in their mind they envisioned oneday becoming your wife.  Yet despite all the love they gave and time they put into you, you have the audacity to pull a Donnell Jones and hit her with some  "I Just need time to see Where I wanna be" type shit. And as you walk out the door you just kiss her on the forehead and tell her life is a journey and your ready to explore it.

Her reaction after this is pretty much being pissed, yes more pissed than sad and hurt. She's going back and forth listnening to old 2Pac songs like keep ya head up and from there onto songs like R. Kelly When a Womans fed up and  so on. Sadness and pain soon mixes in with the anger as she reminices about how she was down for you for so long, a true ride or die and you just knocked her down to the point she didn't feel she could get back up. Until one day she got tired of sleeping on a pillow full of tears and she realized that life goes on.

She feels as though even if though you didn't choose her and left, it doesn't make you right nor wrong. And even though you were the epitome of her life that doesn't make her wrong nor right, because she feels that after all she was just your girlfriend and not your wife and she should of acted in that capacity. If she had then maybe this break-up would've been "just one of them things" And not a freakining tragedy. Her feeling is that all the time she spent mad at you, she should've been mad at herself.

Because after all she was the one that gave you the key to her house, let you hang clothes in her closet, washed all your dirty clothes, and let you finish all the leftovers, just so the food don't go bad. She even let you go raw when you claimed to have lost all your rubbers. She supported you in all your dreams even more than your family. Whom would even call her to try and stay in touch wiith you.  Hell you were even recieving mail at her address because you slept there so much.

You pretty much lived with her.Total control of the remote control to the TV, DVD, and radio All yours.  And even though your name wasn't on her lease you had stuff in HER house that was off limits to her.  Kind of like your side of the bed, video game system, or your stash of magazines.  Not to mention your Froot Loops, "shoebox", or tooth brush.  Hell you even had your own set of towels there.  But none of that obligated you to her, because not once did you all exchange vows. 

She walks around now thinking that if she knew then, what she knows now, she probably would've listened and just let you leave without all the bitchin and jumpin bad like she was going to hit you, but in the back of her mind all she could fathom was hom much she was going to miss you.  Even though tears wer shed, she never felt like a victim. She was just to scared to let you go, cause some other chick might get you.  She blames herself though, because she shouldn've never put her heart in her minds position.

Despite trying, she just couldn't shake you.  you were like a bad babit, which upset her even more because all she felt you were was just an average dude that was just average, doing average dude shit. Like always running your mouth with no action and thinking with your dick. She admits that you are the one she wanted to committ to, because she either wasn't living up to her potential or maybe she was just an average chick.  She believes that she was a woman caught up in a feeling both physical and emotional, who was way too willing to give her all to a man.  

Though it may sound stupid to some she knows she'll do it all again, only this time it won't be for some average dude she calls a friend, it'll be for the Man she calls her Husband

Can't Give up

Can't give up by Mary Mary

There will be mountains that I will have to climb
And there will be battles that I will have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide
But how can I expect to win If I never try.

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

Never said there wouldn't be trials
Never said I would't fall
Never said that everything would go the way I want it to go
But when my back is against the wall
And i feel all hope is gone, 
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
No you didn't bring me out here to leave me lonely
Even when I can't see clearly
I know that you are with me(so I can't)

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

What is Love

Love is a feeling you have for someone that you don't want to let go...

Love isn't just a powerful word; you can feel it, show it, and see it...

Love can be feel when the other person makes you feel like you his/her world...

Love can be shown when the person shows that he/she cares...

Love can be seen when the other person does all he/she can to show that he/she cares...

Love is something everybody should have...

Love isn't always a great feeling...

Love hurts...

Love comes and Love goes...

As long as you have that special person, let your Love know...

Let your Love know that you care and that he/she is that reason you wake up and the reason why you smile...

Waterfalls remake by Stooshe

I was watching Totally T-Boz and came across this British group called Stooshe who was doing a remake of the famous song Waterfalls. I was skeptical about it at first since Waterfalls is a classic and you don't really touch classics, but after going on youtube and checking out the video and their performance of it at the MOBO awards I actually like it, especially the creative way they did the Left-Eye rap in the song. Could just be my fascination with British singers( i.e. Leona, Estelle, Adele, Sade and so on), but I like this group.  Anyway enough of my babbling, here's the video and MOBO performance. Much Love and be Blessed. Enjoy. - CJ

5 Simple rules to Happiness

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a 
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as 
the farmer tried to figure out what to do. 

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the 
well needed to be covered up anyway; 
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. 

He invited all his neighbors to come over and 
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began 
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the 
donkey realized what was happening and cried 
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he 
quieted down. 

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally 
looked down the well. He was astonished at what 
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his 
back, the donkey was doing something amazing. 
He would shake it off and take a step up. 

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel 
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it 
off and take a step up. 

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey 
stepped up over the edge of the well and 
happily trotted off! 


**Moral of the story** 
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds 
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well 
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of 
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out 
of the deepest wells just by not stopping, 
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. 

Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive. 
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen. 
Live simply and appreciate what you have. 
Give more. 
Expect less 
**********

The donkey later came back, 
and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. 
The gash from the bite got infected and 
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock. 

***When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you. ***

Whatever your Cross

Often times in life we go through periods where it may seem everything and everyone is against us and our troubling times will never come to end.  I know I've been there before, but one thing we must always remember that the trouble won't always last, all you have to do is just keep your faith and believe that if God brought you to to it , he'll bring you through it and in bringing you through it, you'll come out a better and stronger person than you were before.  This is a poem I found that reminds me to always keep the faith and remember that there is always sunshine and a rainbow after the storm. Enjoy and much love and be Blessed.- CJ

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain

Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God’s always ready,
To answer your call

He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear

Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn’s early light

The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
“God always sends rainbows
after the rain.”

I Told the Storm

Even though your winds blow 
I want you to know 
You cause me no alarm 
Cause I'm safe in his arms 

Even though your rain falls 
I can still make this call; 
Let there be peace 
Now I can say go away 
I command you to move today 
Because of faith, I have a brand new day 
The sun will shine - and I will be okay 
That's when I told the storm! 

I told the storm to pass (oh yes I did) 
Storm you can't last (oh oh, you've got to go away) 
Go away - I command you to move today 
Storm - when God speaks; (when God speaks, you don't have a choice in the matter) 
Storm - you've got to cease 
That's what I told storm! 

Wind stop blowing! 
Flood stop flowing! 
Lightning stop flashing! 
Breakers stop dashing! 
Darkness go away! 
Clouds move away! 
That's what I told the storm! 

Death can't shake me! 
Job can't make me! 
Bills can't break me! 
You can't drown me! 
Cause my Gods surrounds me! 
That's what I told the storm!

Consider your Front Row

Life is a theater,

Invite your audience carefully.  Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.  There are some people in your life that need to be escorted out or loved from a distance.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible  not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships, and family.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.  Which ones lift and which ones lean?  Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?  Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill?  When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?  Which ones always have drama, or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

The more you seek God, the more you seek things honorable. the more you seek quality, respect, growth,  piece of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should move to the balcony of your life.  You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you are around!  Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on out lives and our income.  And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.  We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor allow them to feed us with negative thoughts.  It's your choice and your life and it's up to you who you let in it.  Front Row Seats are for special and deserving people and those who sit on your front row should be chosen carefully.  Everyone can't be there, some deserve to watch from the balcony or be even escorted out of the theater.

Words of advice from Madea

Great words of advice from Madea/Tyler Perry about Relationships. Most will see this as about only romantic relationships, but I see it more as about relationships with people in general be it friendships, romantic relationships, and even some family or whatever, just relationships with people in general. Enjoy, much love and be blessed. CJ

True story. #4everBlessed

Prophet Jones - Lifetime

Always said that I'd be ready once I hit 30.  Well 2013 is the year that I hit 30 and I can honestly say that I am more than ready.  I just need a little help from the Air Force(or a new contractor job) and the man above to get me back to the place my dreams and wishes can come true. And if all the cards fall into the right place for me and by the grace of God she still feels the way she once did, 2013 will be a very memorable year with 2 new RW additions to the Johnson family and the start of a Lifetime of happiness!
