Find Your Love Response.... ... .. .

One of the most repeated lines in Drake's second single of Thank Me Later entitled "Find Your Love" aka the chorus/hook is "I better find your lovin, I better find your heart". Lets for a moment pretend this particular line went in the order of "I better find your heart, I better find your lovin". In many ways than one, I believe the only way to gain access to one's love is gaining access to their heart. Even if the word "love" is said, how would you even recognize its even there if you can't feel that heart to heart bond, connection. Lets look at the heart as the door to love. The only way to access love is through the heart(not literally mml). In most relationships we experience we all hope to share as well as gain the love of the other, to open up our hearts to one another and to experience the life love brings to a relationship. What a result "I better find your heart, I better find your lovin" or should I say "I better find your lovin, I better find your heart" can bring.

*You gain another's love, by being in touch with their heart*

Can Someone Ever Be Too Honest?

Can someone ever be too honest? Can we really handle the power, the genuineness that honesty obtains? While honesty is something many people lack, there are those who try to pursuit it and few that secure it. Honesty is something that is hard to find, especially when it is something you want to acquire and use with the people that matter most to you in your life. At times we are afraid to be too honest because we are unsure of what honesty may result in. No matter what true honesty results in, know that it was better said, then unsaid. Would you rather know someone's feelings/statements toward you, than not know? Being honest, telling that person what you have done whether good or bad can help you as well as help them. A light of acknowledgement and recognition is shined on real feelings. Them being honest is much more powerful than them lying to you. We don't have to like what comes out of being honest, but we sure should respect it! Being honest brings out the realness in a person, it lays out, presents the platform behind the name. Honesty is something we must grow into little by little and allow it to become a part of our lives, our platform, our character, our personality, and our hearts. You can look at honesty as a key of many keys, to happiness. Again, can someone ever be too honest? Would you rather someone be honest, than not honest at all?
Honesty frees the soul and brings L.I.F.E..... ... .. .

The Rest of the Good Things Must Live On....

At the beginning of the week, I wrote a post entitled All Good Things Must Come to an End..... Just days ago my mind was open, eyes aware, and experiencing first hand that although most good things must come to an end, the rest of the good things must continue and live on! Although there are some aspects in our life that its inevitable they will have to come to an end one day, we are still gifted with being part of aspects of our lives that still have life to them. DTB, Mr. Sooner No Later, Mr. Salute Me Later says don't jump to the conclusion that all good things are coming to an end, but they are just starting to take off, prepare to live your journey, your adventure, your life, your experiences and your lessons! The good things living on are just the highs, balancing out the lows of the good things coming to an end. "\: )"

*The good things remain to be great*

All Good Things Must Come to an End....

Not only once, but several times over a period of time we all experience that high point in life. These experiences range from accomplishments, jobs, friendships, and relationships. They all have their goods and positives, but the good will never last forever. With that said, all good things must come to an end. I mentioned before that we as individuals do not have control over other people, events, and the inevitable, but one thing we absolutely have control over is ourselves. Although I can no longer change or influence this person's thoughts and feelings, I did have some control over the situation. I had control of my actions and not letting things occur that unfortunately did. If things were handled differently they could have been influenced positively by my actions and things could have never ended, at least in the way they did. As I take time to reflect, one thing I realize is that I had a handle on something, and that was not letting things get any worse than they actually may have been. Memories were made in the past, only to be reflected on in the future. Its the memories that live on, even after A & B die, split, and are no longer. Who knows, maybe, maybe not, A & B will meet again. Until the next time a good thing must come to an end, let it continue, grow and glow!

With all the personalities (Mr. Salute Me, Mr. Salute Me Later, Mr. Sooner No Later) taken away and from the true heart and personality of Daniel Travis Benson, DTB Salute "\: )" You!

Why Does Rick Ross Always Have Some Really Good Song Production?

You were defintily a pioneer in the rap game and influence in music period. My brother used to play Gang Starr most of the time when I was growning up. I always like his flow, admired his poetry and wish I could have met him. I will miss you brother. God Bless.

This was always my favorite track from Gang Starr.

Just For Fun

At work today, I was thinking to myself... why do producers have their name on the song before the song begans. Ex. David Banner (david david david david david David Banner), (j,j,j,j,j,j,j J.R.) J.R. Rotem, (auhh) The Runners, (it's a Nitti Beat) Nitti, (jahlil beats, holla at me) Jahlil. As I thought about it more, wouldn't be funny if a producer came out and said his name was Killa Nigga.?

Then I though, what if he produced a song called that "Killa Nigga" with Drake, Lil Wayne (from jail) and Kanye West.? and the verses went a little something like this......

"Killa Nigga" Drake ft. Lil Wayne and Kanye West


(Drake)
Uhh, dreamin like a picture
verses are the frames, don't you see color scriptures
never had a nightmare, fresher than box smell coming with the white Air's
always reppin' where I'm from, Toronto with YM, my money never feeling col'd
take time just count it, booking shows like I was a bank field accountant
don't worry why I push back my album three times
haters so mad, it should be called "Thank Me When I Die"
doing so much, can't even break hearts no more
why would I try to, they got their knees on the floor
praying to God, wondering if I could get any bigger
Hip Hop is full of black men, all I do is kill niggas


(Lil Wayne)
ok, set up the dinner plate, it's feast
young Hannibal, I eat niggas.... pussy feast
i smell ya niggas from way over there
why does money burn but yall don't see flares
went from fireman to lil young money tunechi
rule swagger number 1, don't give a fuck no matter who say
she say, ain't nobody ever act friendly
until the money comes, then you see who act concurrently
but currency ain't the only thing concurrently
my body feel up but my soul is soaringly
(laugh) ain't it funny how the world turns
I got respect but it's not the only thing I'mma earn
on my money check it has commas, period. but ain't no sentence
people still feel my bars even in prison
but I'm doing fine. Great, place your bet
If Cash Money the back, then YM is the neck
straggle yall slow, death comes quicker
but it ain't comming for me so I'ma kill niggas


(Kanye West)
I never ever wanted to be pressured just to do something tempting
Jay never cheated on B but she always had resentment
feeling like my B'day but only my girl is naked
treat her like the critics "just shut up bitch, take it"
have you ever notice Kanye stunting so major?
men acting like the Bulls, women wet like the Lakers
take yourself a chill pill homie, you ain't fucking my chick
haters still kissing my ass, so you know they still talking shit
last time I went hard I lost two of my best loves
then drop 808's and Heartbreak, still didn't get no hugs
but that's ok, I'm still working on Good Ass Job
I'm the manager, CEO is just a snob
But all yall niggas got a prob, solution yall ain't seen it
I just kill yall niggas, rest in pieces

Their Impact! & Random

Its amazing how certain people in our lives who aren't within our immediate family, have and make the biggest impacts in our lives whether good or bad. These persons could be a close friend, a crush, a significant other, and boyfriend/girlfriend. Depending on who they are and their relationship to us, some have the ability to make an impact emotionally, an unbelievable impact. However they may impact us, it may cause a moment of happiness, sadness, a moment of uncertainty, hurt, recovery, progression, and one of the most important to me, love. Since these people are able to make positive/negative impacts, the question is would we be better off with or without them? I'm not saying they don't belong in our lives, but to have that special bond, connection, and relationship with that person and then experiencing taking time apart and breaking away can get quite difficult. Everyone will have some sort of relationship with someone no matter the capacity, its inevitable. So, there's no way you can break away peacefully from them. There is no easy way to separate from them because of the bond and chemistry that is shared between each other. If it was all that easy, the ending and post relationship time wouldn't be so bad of an experience.

Random: We don't pour our hearts out to the ones we love just for the hell of it. We make sure its relevant, there's a reason, there's a cause. If we didn't want to look stupid or embarrass ourselves we wouldn't do the things we do to express our feelings and love for another. We wouldn't fight so hard, so hard, we continue to fight even after receiving and feeling rejected. If we didn't feel so passionate and if the person hadn't made such a great impact in our lives, touching us emotionally and most importantly touching our hearts there would be no more trying. The effort, passion, desire, work, would all stop on Day 1 of the END. We would release our foot off the gas pedal, begin to tap the brakes, come to a complete stop, put ourselves in park, put the emergency break on, turn ourselves off, and get off our direction of our wants, desires, and passions. Its not over until we stop trying and stop putting in the work, the will, and desire.

Smoke Jumpers


A smokejumper is a wildland firefighter who parachutes into a remote area to combat wildfires.

Smokejumpers are most often deployed to fires that are extremely remote. The extra risk associated with this method is justified by reaching a wildfire shortly after ignition when it is still relatively small. Another argument for delivering wildland firefighters by parachute is that the fixed-wing aircraft that carry smokejumpers are cheaper to operate over long distances, carry more personnel and equipment and have higher top speeds than the helicopters often used for other fire deployments. While remoteness is one reason parachute deployment is used, it adds to the risk inherent in smokejumping as crews are often hours away from help if the wind shifts or someone gets injured. The ordinary risk of a parachute jump, the adverse conditions for the jump, and the lack of resources for firefighting and rescue once on the ground in a remote area give smokejumping a reputation as exceedingly dangerous work.

DTB Says........... Somethings just gotta be their own

There are some things that are just better left kept contained, on paper, or in a secure place when there's no need to put it out in public unless needed. Its like you try to keep your personal life separate from the public light. Its also best to keep your personal away from your work life and just importantly vice versa. Let the different aspects of your life be their own entity as they already are or everything you'd experience in life would just be all considered part of your personal life.

Look out for the next DTB Says........ Post coming to you type soon no later "\: )"

Accept The Uncontrollable, Run With The Controllable

There are those situations/events in our lives that we have no control over. Lets call those "uncontrollable" situations. As well as not having control over situations, we also don't have control of other people, the weather, the traffic, just to name a few. I'm sure you'll be able to come up with things you feel you have no control over as people's situations vary from one another. There are also situations you can make a change to and see results by the actions you have made to the situation. Lets call those "controllable" situations. I've learned by learning through Radical Acceptance that there are things out of our control and things we can control. We can not control other people, events, situations, but we can most importantly control ourselves. Those things we are unable to control we should learn to accept. It doesn't have to be something we accept overnight, but over a period of time when the time is right. By accepting things beyond our control, we let go of the burden we put on ourselves to try to control or change things that we can't, which will than allow us to put more of our focus as well as efforts to change and make a difference to those things we have a sense of control over. You are also lifting off the stress you put on yourself by letting go of the things you have no influence over. Why try to change the things you can't change? Why not put your efforts in those that you can change!

Erykah Badu ft. Lil Wayne "Jump In The Air"

Poem: I Am

I am strong willed and driven,
I wonder how I am at the stage of my life that I am,
I hear the air moving,
I see the future with no boundaries, no limits, no ceilings,
I want love, happiness, and success,
I am strong willed and driven.

I pretend to be invincible when I am really not,
I feel like at times I am superman,
I touch the clouds,
I worry the loss of loved ones,
I cry knowing I let others down,
I am strong willed and driven.

I understand I have to put my well being first,
I say I will be acceptant of situations beyond my control,
I dream of her<3,
I try to be understanding,
I hope to be reunited <3,
I am strong willed and driven.

I just started attending a day program I now go to. We all created a poem about ourselves called I am. This was not the complete original, but does obtain many lines that were originally written. This morning I tweaked it and now present to you the final product. I'm confident and proud of the final result.
