I'll take a note outta my Lil Tita Roc's page and introduce myself.
Hello world. I go by many names and personas but for this venue i'll be the hustle that lurks within, SOLOMON ABRAMS. I'm a true Grinder. I'm a photographer, Web Master, Clothing Line slanga, Writer, Mentor, Rhymer, Father, Boyfriend, Promoter, Soldier(... taking a second to breathe... okay) and all around Put-Food-On-The-Tabler. I try to get in completely. Needless to say I have a few things going on. I'll get to those later now I will tell why I do it.
I can't slow down or give up because people depend on me. I have childre who need to eat and get "cool stuff" to throw around the house. I have family that need to get by. Soldiers who look for me to make a decision that may save their lives or save the life of one thier soldiers. I woman needs me. And truthfully I need ME! So I can't stop. I won't cry. Far from that. I enjoy the push. The stress the feeling of accomplishment when I do it. More for them than me. I like to be an encouragement. To watch people who watched me go further. Go be bigger than me. Go BE!!! I have soldiers who I used to command become my peers and will soon surpass me in rank. Good Deal. I have children and younger family members who have surpassed me in creativity and are well on thier way to being further with their goals than I was. I do it because I want more for them. I do it because someone has to stop crying about the obstacles and start celebrating the triumphs. I do it because somewhere somebody should see someone do it and feel a kinship. I do it because my father did it. Because my grandfather did it. I do it because it's in my blood and my children and any child who sees me should know that it can be done. Hell ya'll I'm a Grinder. My mantra is "if you don't work you don't eat!!!" And I'm eating.
I'll sign off with that.
Join me next blog.
Ya'll be cool how ya'll be cool.
