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!
