'Brain decline' begins at age 27

"Mental powers start to dwindle at 27 after peaking at 22, marking the start of old age, US research suggests." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7945569.stm)

That's a whole lot of bullshit! My brain will continue to grow because I think timeless. Sounds like a bunch of old lab rats upset. - Dante Cross

A Day in the Sun

Today is a such a beautiful day, the sun is out, my breath is fresh and I think I got through one of my shorties. I was talking to the little homie about what he wants to do in life, being that he's sixteen. He states all he wants to do is "chill" and wait on the next thing to happen. I grew intrigued by his comment. So, I asked what does he want out of life. Reluctantly, he replies he just wants money.

I wonder what happened to today's generation's ambition. Is it so gone into materialistic objects that substance does not matter?

Anyways, back the my story. I explained to the kid that he's not gone to get far if he lives his life without a plan, and expecting the moment to live out itself for him. You got to give you goals a agenda/schedule. Because, just "chilling" will only result to time wasted.

Flying with Beauty

So beautiful, gotta be careful. Don't let this one pass you by. She got a bad smile that'll make grown man cry. Joy you want to bring, her mind you want to be inside. This may be the your opportunity, full of intensity, she got modisty. What's her name? Could it be Destiny, Hope or Belle. She looks so innocent but coulde be dangerous, Justice is blind but so is love. Fuck it what the hell, approach her what you gotta loose? You just want to know her name, and maybe she might want to know you. You only live once, go for it.
