Like an L.S.D. Moment..WOE! Page 2

I remember watching this movie called, "Sneakers" with Robert Redford, Ben
Kingsley and Sidney Portiere, where this guy they were setting up to get to his
boss was having things found out abut him without him knowing, he was
getting set up and defined for something bigger than him. You see you can find
out a lot about a person, by the way they treat others, strangers, a waitress,
with or without money, food, to their family, friends and oh yeah, how they get
rid of their garbage. I mean think about it, this man without knowing it now
knows, I drink a lot of juice, there is no soda cans in the garbage can, and I love
me some Blue Label, and if me and my crew don’t slow down, we may need to
consider hitting an few AA meetings in the near future if someone doesn’t pay
attention pretty soon. I mean, in my garbage can if you look, you will know what
kind of steaks I like, the seasoning, things I may be allergic to and what kind of
freakin toothpaste I like. If the toothpaste tub is rolled up tightly, it says I am or
may be meticulous and squeeze every little bit out of the tube, to either get my
moneys worth, or to efficiently utilize its purpose. If there are vitamins or
sleeping pills, someone you may not even know it, will figure out many things
about you. Now, I am now trying to freak you out and have you burn everything
to leave no evidence, but what I am saying, is things happen sometimes, that
we have no clue, is happening, but it is, for some reason.
So any way, after trippin off of that for a while and falling back to sleep to only
be waken up by Lassie’s and Cujo’s offspring, the television was on the
Biography Channel. That is more than likely, one of my favorite TV shows, when
I get a chance to actually, watch television. I am not a TV person, but when I do,
enjoy things that fascinate me. That is why I read a lot, well not a lot a lot, but
enough to be a bit more than you think. But when I gained focus and
concentrated on what was on the television, there was a interesting story that
had just so happen, just starting. It was on this man named Larry Doby. For
those that don’t know, he was the second Black Man to enter into the Major
Leagues. Yeah, he was a baseball player, but should be recognized as
something, much more than that. You see Jackie Roosevelt Robinson is the
first to integrate Baseball, and he is honored on the highest level of the sport,
Civil Rights and much more by even more than you think. He is the ripple affect
man, that even while many may never know of him and what he actually stood
for and did, they will benefit from his actions, many decades ago, decades from
now. But this man Mr. Doby, had it rough if not rougher to me, in my opinion. You
see Mr. Robinson was built for being the first, and the choice could not have
been any better. To go through the door no one has ever been through, you
need to have a few things that many do not have. What comes with the
responsibility is beyond harsh or glorified, it is down right trying on things you
never knew were possible. That is why being the first at anything, is so hard.
You are a shock, not expected and pretty foreign to something that is domestic
to you and the world. So when being the second, you and others already know
what to expect, so whatever comes at you, good or bad, has been practiced
and refined because it is no longer a surprise and shock, and you are about to
witness the brut force of whatever comes worse than the first time you tried or
did it ignorantly. You or it, now has wisdom and has seen what works, and what
doesn’t. It’s the ghost, the invisible force behind most things, and can leave you
in the midst of its travels, without leaving a trace of your existence. Now, if you
are built for this or not, is irrelevant because it is now, coming at you full force
with experience and has been tried and tested on the guinea pig before you.
You will absorb it, or it will absorb you and that is a fact. So yeah, this man
really caught a lot, and I am wondering, why don’t we really hear about number
two that much, and celebrate number one, the majority of the time? So now,
lets go back to my man going through my garbage. Think about how this man is
either hella smart, hell of desperate, hella hungry, the IRS or private detective
disguised as a homeless crack fiend looking for something I didn’t think was
important to keep. Think how I may naturally judge him within my own mind, but
don’t know his situation, his reasons or intentions. How I don’t even have the
right to question what he is doing because I obviously, didn’t want what I threw
away, anyway.
