Misery vs. Karma ... By Malik Jones!

My Brother's Something Like a Lyrical Genius ENJOY!



This chick named Misery can throw a bangin ass party,
she don’t need flyers, posters, or even a venue to get it started.
All she needs to do, is convince one soul,
then they’ll try and bring their whole family… both young and old.
Friends, coworkers… even people in the street,
then everyone will bring everyone… that everyone meets.
The drinks get to flowing… the bar be popping,
the dance floor be packed, and aint nobody stopping.
The DJ in the booth… bumpin the latest hits,
ladies on the dance floor screamin, “That’s my shit!”
The party is goin on… and don’t stop til the mornin,
while they yawnin still on the floor… determined to bring the dawn in.
Every is dude is live… and every girl is hot,
everybody got swag… up in Misery’s spot.

Now, here come that bitch Kharma, ready to tear shit up,
rolls up in the spot… smackin niggas cups.
Pullin on girls’ hair… shovin dudes into walls,
uppercut to the bouncer, after swift kick to the balls.
Got folks runnin, fleeing, duckin, dodging, leavin cryin,
but many stick around, and watch as Misery steps in.
She jumps up angry… “Hoe, you messing with my money,
coming in here startin shit… messin with my company!”
But Kharma is determined, cause these to are her people,
and she’s ready to throw down… against Misery’s evil.
Like the slick sly snake that she’s always been,
throws her drink in Kharma’s face… kick to the shin.
Drunks around cheering as the host has her way,
a quick hook to the chin, and on the floor Kharma lay.

Misery beats her chest, as she celebrates victory,
while Kharma taste her blood thinking, look what this bitch did to me.
She rises up to her feet… with a stumbling stance,
mouth dripping red, but still ready to dance.
Misery rendered Kharma weak, noticing sorrow and pain,
and it’s at that point she’s at the top of her game.
She goes for the throat… reaches in from afar,
pretty soon it will be Kharma sittin at the bar.
Drinking with the girls… Jealousy and Hate,
Envy is there too yelling “Manip, you late!”
Vindictive was in the bathroom, as he’s a true playa,
knowing just when to move… just what to say to ya.
Conniving is at the door collecting all the money,
Fake and Phony are the twins, Spite think everything’s funny.
The door opens up, and in walks Pride,
usually on the fence, but taking Misery’s side.
Kharma is outmatched… the odds are not in her favor,
but in walks Guilt and Shame… who’ve come in to save her.
Misery smiles and grins at the challenge she faces,
yanks her earring, greases up… tightens her laces.
Her cohorts walk up, and stand ready in position,
Laughing… hysterically… about the ease of their mission.

Kharma… emerges… to the middle of the floor,
but then there’s a faint… knock knock on the door.
They decided to not answer, then the bell was buzzed,
so Nosey and Gossip, needing to know who it was.
Opened up the door… to a blinding light,
it was Love and his homies… ready to fight.
Faith, Happiness, and Joy came through,
Peace and Hope… gone make it do what it do.
Patience was in there, with her virtuous ways,
Optimism, Belief… and Support comes and stays.
Care and Polite… steps up in a hustle,
while Respect and Understanding, is ready to tussle.

Misery looks on, and in her arrogance says,
“You really think these softies will set me straight in my ways?”
“I love to party… get drunk… get high and such,
so do you really think these fools is gone bother me much?”
“I got the greatest help… that money can buy,
so let’s have it… Stop Me… Let’s see you try!”

At just that moment, when Misery was ready to brawl,
in walked Prayer, and put a hush to it all.
Prayer brought someone… who Misery didn’t suspect,
but it was God, who brought Blessings, and Prosperity next.
Misery said, “That’s It…” and threw her hands in the air,
“Party’s over… go home… this chick ain’t playing fair.
She packs up her things… and leaves in a huff,
didn’t suspect they’d go there… guess they called her bluff.
All the others left… cowering in fear,
and Kharma, a little bruised… pulls up a chair.
Knowing she will not stop until Misery is dead,
but the fight will go on… only in someone else’s head.

Emani's Article "48 Hours to GAME TIME!

Emani wrote this article and it was in the School Paper Today!


As fall break approached, most Cornell students prepared to head home and take a little time away from their schoolwork. Meanwhile, Cornell athletes were flipping the switch and preparing for their upcoming weekend contests. For an athlete, the 48 hours leading up to a game is almost sacred. Some have seemingly odd superstitious routines or rituals that they feel must be followed in order to succeed on game day. Others choose to stay away from superstition as they focus and prepare — everyone has their unique style.

For me, I have no lucky shirt or hat that I always wear on Fridays before games, but I do have my routine. For some reason, every Friday I seem to get this craving for something — it could be a smoothie or a cinnamon pretzel from the mall like it was last Friday, and fulfilling this craving helps to keep me relaxed. My whole goal for the 48 hours is to be as relaxed and inspired as possible. For inspiration, I always watch Youtube highlights of big hits or my favorite players to get me further inspired to make plays on Saturday. Before our first game this year, I went to a local little league practice, and that helped me to relax and remember the game when everything seemed so easy.

When Saturday is here, it’s game day! As a football team we have pre-game breakfast together in the Statler around 9 a.m. From there we go through final meetings with our coaches, and then a last call where captains speak to us about W.I.N. — What’s Important Now. At this time you can really start to feel kickoff drawing closer, as the marching band leads us from the Statler to Schoellkopf. The band plays and parents and alumni line up along the sidewalk as we pass — I always seem to have goosebumps by the time we enter the doors of Schoellkopf.

We are about two hours away from kickoff and before getting dressed for the game I read my Bible, take a walk on the field, stretch and maybe even get in the warm whirlpool to loosen up; it all depends on how I am feeling. Once again though, everyone prepares differently for a game and my teammate, Rashad Campbell, and I always give each other a hard time about this. Rashad is always taking a last-minute look at the game plan, and asking me questions about different things as a way to quiz himself. I always tell him to loosen up, and he laughs and tells me he can’t live life on the edge.

One of the last things I do before every game is put on my eye black. I always wear eye black underneath my eyes, and I always have a message written in the eye black. I took this idea from Tim Tebow, the quarterback at Florida who is known to write Bible verses on his eye black. This past weekend, I wore James 2:22, “…with works, faith is perfected.”

Eye black on. Game time is here. We lock arms and take the field!

You Gotta Love Usher ...

Usher - Papers




Interesting Song ... Some People think his Lyrics are getting too Personal!

Whatever Fuels his Music Works for ME!

Divorce is Crazy! Shad Shaddy Plans on Getting Married Once so I'm not to Motivated by the Lyrics ...

Good Song Though ...

A Master in the Art of Living!

Work vs. Play


The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's ALWAYS doing BOTH.

I LOVE LIFE and I LIVE with No Regrets! I dunno if you all KNOW that, but basically ... There's a Method to my Madness! I do things for a Reason and I think I'm at a point where like the quote above states ... "Have mastered the art of living!

I don't get MAD ... I don't YELL ... I get Confused (lol) ... I mean what I say and I say what I mean ... (I don't always say what I am Thinking but whatever I say I mean it Completely) I think a lot often too much!

I love my Teammates and Cannot wait to get after it in Practice this Week!

To much about me ... I could do none of this without my Loving Family and Friends but I just wanted to share this quote to open eyes ... Allow people to see what they truly appreciate in life!

So here it is again READ it slower this time:

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's ALWAYS doing BOTH.

Life's to short to be deciphering what you enjoy from what your enduring ... Enjoy every moment of it and if something is bothering you access the issue to see whether or not you are enduring for an overarching goal. If that's not the case most suffering/ building of endurance is probably pointless so you should probably try to end it!

I Love LIFE and like the Quote says I'm at a point where I truly believe I'm ALWAYS DOING BOTH!

Thanks for Tuning In!

Love Yall

MALIK JONES # 5

aka

The Producer/ Director/ Mastermind Behind My Film Productions


First things First, Malik is a Competitor and he's been this way since birth. So to no surprise he competes with me like were the same age and as though EVERYTHING was a competition. Early on we would simply race up and down the block just to see who was faster or we'd go over to the park and organize a football game. We never missed an opportunity to compete and in his eyes he never missed an opportunity to establish his dominance over me and my younger brother Brio. But let me tell you a lot has changed since those days and although we still compete its on different levels but neither one of us can turn down a competitive situation once it presence itself.

How about I to toot my own horn. :-) So in recent years Malik decided he was stronger than me but instead of just believing that he had to prove it to himself. Due to football I began to lift more consistently along with doing other strength and conditioning workouts. So whenever there was a family outing or get together is I had a tight shirt or wife beater on Malik took those moments as opportunities to say "You still don't got Man Strength," or "You think I'm scared of you b/c you Lift Weights!" ... I would continue to mind my business and act like nothing was wrong until one day he took it a little too far.

Now here's some advise for all siblings younger or older whenever you are tested and you know you can respond positively to the situation seize that opportunity otherwise leave well enough alone b/c since they are so preoccupied to prove something you have nothing to lose. But if you attempt to go through with whatever they have planned if they succeed they're more likely to impose there will on you in the future. Although it may not seem like it but siblings hate it when your not responsive and as opposed to getting a kick out of bullying you or being in charge you lack of energy will cause them to give up altogether. But do try them if your going to succeed b/c it will make your sibling think twice in the future if they decide to mess with you again.

Back to the story, so I was sitting on the couch and Malik wanted to Tustle ... lol I was feeling stronger than usual and had enough of him mentally picking on me so I decided to do something about it ... This day paved the way for my future and is the reason Malik knows not to mess with me anymore ... lol Yea, I said it ... I know he'll try me but I just don't feel like being bothered b/c he won't give up! Basically, I was sitting on the couch at about age 13 and Malik decided to restrain me from moving, since I was feeling good I said "Malik, get off of me or your gonna be upset," Of course he didn't listen so I proceeded to struggle with him then I managed to flip him over the couch ...Then things got hectic, at this point he got COMPLETELY SERIOUS b/c since my Older Brothers were there his MANHOOD was at STAKE and he is not one to give up my Flipping him was technically the beginning of this Fiasco! lol

If anyone knows Malik you know that he LOVES to talk. Malik would probably be an excellent psychologists b/c not only does he love to talk but he's a great listener and its two qualities of his that I truly admire. I try my best to give people the time of day and this is mostly attributed to how helpful he is when you call him just to talk about one thing and you end up talking for an hour then you realize you actually had a very productive conversation. This is one thing you might be weary of before calling him but in the end your usually better off afterward b/c he's been through a lot that he can relate to me.

Malik also brings out the BEAUTY in Everything, he has the ability to see things that no one else can and this is something I have attempted to do. Look at things from a different prospective and notice what most people miss. For Example as most people know we make music videos together and the collaboration is something special, but Malik really does Everything. Boyfriend # 2 was completed in 7 Hours and Fire Lovin took 20 hours ... I thought I understood how the process works but Malik taught me so much, watching everything develop was both confusing and exciting b/c I began to understand the big picture as opposed to the hear and now. As essential it is for people to live in the moment a lot of the little decisions we make have a huge overarching impact on Everything and through watching the hundreds of cut ups and how they make an Amazing Music Video defines how Malik views his life and why he experience the successes he does. Being able to puzzle together opportunities and recognize the purpose and usefulness of the friends around you is something that Malik has Magnified within ME.

Malik's and Artists a Few of his Pics are Below:





Basically, he has skills and his Media Technology businesses Medan Photography, and RTB Media can be directly attributed to his competitive nature and I love Media Technology too so I try to help out in anyway that I can.

I Love Malik for Always Competing with Me! Pushing me and not allowing me to get Complacent! With the few successes I've had in my LIFE it would be EASY but people Like Malik keep me Motivated and Level Headed

He's a Workaholic so this Picture is Perfect! :-)


Anyway In Closing Me and Malik Both Edited these Videos with Different Ways, but this is just an idea of how we compete since he knows I'm Bigger, Stronger, Faster!

College Info Coming Soon!

Cornell University! A Winter Wonderland


Cornell University

Prettiest School in the Nation!

Even Though

The Weather has a MIND of It's OWN!

Cornell Weather: Only at Cornell University can you go to class in shorts and maybe a long sleeve, then leave class and see 2 - 3 inches of SNOW on the ground. This makes Cornell Unique as compared to any other place on earth. I Love the SNOW, but I'm not a huge FAN of Practicing in it! One thing Cornell does to me is it makes to snuggle and appreciate sleep a little bit more. "Snuggles" is basically laying in the bed when you know you should be at a class or your just trying to get a couple extra minutes of sleep! I go to class so I don't really get to snuggle like I should but I know "Study Week" Ima be the Snuggle MAN! lol If you like a change of pace and cuddling or just chilling inside with friends you should come up to Ithaca and sip on some Hot Coa Coa at 908! We get Sleet, Snow, Rain, Sunshine, Rainbows, Wind Storms, lol All the Above!

So the WEATHER defines Ithaca and makes us Ithacans more Special than the REST! I Like it up Here and Honestly wouldn't change anything Having such a variety of WEATHER makes you Appreciate those Sunny Days ... I hope we haven't seen our last of this YEAR! lol ...

Next Post is gonna be for College Students!

Till Then ... Shad Shaddy # 2 is OUT!
