Gender Recall....

Is there a mental defect in our gender?

Breaking each other down

Backstabbing

Beating each other up for that invisible mental “crown”

Deception and conflict

Whispering and gossip

Targeting those they perceive as weak

Trying to make them cower

Hoping to build themselves up

To feel a false sense of power

Jealousy is the motive

Beauty and talent is the crime

Look around anywhere

And you’ll see it all the time.

Females….hurting each other.

Happens at any age

Even when they’ve started families

They just become more sly and whisper their rage.

Some never grow up.

Some will never understand 

All mean behaviors shouldn’t be tolerated

I’m ready to have the “nasty females” banned.

So know your worth

Don’t put up with any shit

If they come at you physically…

Make sure you finish it.

Learn to fight

and learn it well.

Some of these females come straight from the depths of hell.

They feed on hurt

Thrive on your grief

They’ll take your dignity like a 10 dollar thief

But if you learn to stand your ground

Believe you me….They turn right around.

Females are all talk.

Absolutely no real game.

It’s all smoke and mirrors….

It’s actually quite a shame.

So make your mindset something fierce

and build your confidence strong

Believe in yourself

And the bully’s agenda will begin to go all wrong…..

Because the people that care

Will always be there.

and

The people that suck

Don’t deserve you….so

You just shouldn’t give a “F*ck”!

A recall has been issued for our gender

If you find you’re mean to others

Then you are the prime offender.

The end.

This is one of many poems from the book I’m writing “Mindset Of A Marked Man”....I’m still looking for people who would like to be interviewed to contribute to the content. For more information see the blog below.

Grandma Says Tattoo’s Are For Sailors and Prostitutes...

“My Grandma Says....Tattoos are for sailors and prostitutes”.....This was unfortunately the thought process for MANY MANY DECADES....I wonder what nice ‘God fearing’ person came up with this saying?

My younger brother has been writing books now for the past few years (Poetry/Novels)....and I always thought it was such a great outlet for him mentally.

 Much like him, I’ve always enjoyed putting my thoughts down into essay form and sharing them with others...with a great amount of transparency....but never really taking the time to do anything ‘formal’ but post on Facebook, run a personal website about my jiu-jitsu journey (for many years) and blogging. Just recently, I’ve decided to set a goal for myself to generate an original non-fiction  book about tattoo’s (in a sense).  A novel based on the true stories of other adults who have acquired one or more pieces of body art at some point in their life. I’ll be attempting to capture each individuals raw narrative using their personal recollection about a “back story”. 

The idea for this book came from a vivid childhood memory. It was sometime in the late 70′s when my dad decided to get his first tattoo...His father’s immediate response was “Now you are a marked man for life!  What if you rob a bank???...They’ll be able to identify you” (and he wasn’t trying to be jovial or humorous with his remark)....and that statement always stuck with me (perplexed me really).  So I decided I would write a book with the premise....”What is the mindset of a marked man?” Why is it that some people get SO MANY....and some people get none. Then there are others that just get one.  I’m looking for stories from different people of all ages and various walks of life who  will volunteer to be interviewed about whatever incident/episode they feel impacted them the most and how it affected their decisions (now and then).....what is their thought process???....Is there any connection with the body art that they have or no connection at all? along with pictures of their tattoos (old and new). 

I realize that *Not just anyone can do this.. It takes a strong person to “Face that fear of dragging up old memories” and exposing it for everyone to see or hear......and some people might feel vulnerable if they aren’t use to being transparent about what they might consider to be ‘secrets’....but it can be very empowering and usually extremely helpful to others who might have a similar circumstance.

*As a side note....I personally see a lot of character and ‘life lived’ in an old tattoo....so that’s VERY INTERESTING (and inspiring)!  

If you would like to share your story for my book please email me at [email protected] for details!  Participants must be 18 years and older. A waiver must be completed. Not all interviews need to be done in person. So Pass this on to anyone you think might be interested near and far!

**IMPORTANT NOTE: Stories and pictures contributed DO NOT  require your name to be attached to it in the actual book. Instead,  "anonymous submission" can be used in place of that if you would like your identity to remain confidential to the public!**

This is a short promo video about how I came up with this crazy idea....I do plan on developing more video’s as my book begins to progress.  Stay tuned.
