When it comes to social media, I don't post or share on a consistent basis, but if you'd like to stay in touch, these would be your best bet. Feel free to add/follow: https://www.facebook.com/wesloggins/ https://twitter.com/ongakunek0

LMAOOO, is it seriously taking COVID for ppl to realize that, *deep breath*, men and women actually need each other!!??!!?? 😂 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/23/opinion/coronavirus-women-feminism.html I'm actually surprised that the NYTIMES posted something like this tbh. Every one of us is here because of a man and a woman, yet it's amazing to me that we, as humans, think we can circumvent simple, fundamental truths and still expect to prosper and progress in any meaningful way.

One of my brothers recently went through the same situation (but with 5 kids involved) so I can definitely understand the gravity of this situation. I know that there's no way to describe the level of pain, frustration, and confusion that you're experiencing right now. DM me and let's talk about it. My heart goes out to you and your family, brother.

Yesterday, some random chick told me, "you don't look like how you sound....you sound so humble and gentle, but you look like a monsta!"...Not sure if that was a compliment or not, but I suppose being a tall, dark-skinned dude with a beard and dreadlocks makes me look intimidating 😂

Half the time ppl don't know what the hell they be talkin bout. They just be repeating shit they heard elsewhere simply because it "feels" right to them. Then when you start asking them questions, you see their claim slowly unravel for the baseless bullshit that it is. Verify everything.

Seeing how careless people are in their relationships and just how careless and selfish ppl are encouraged by this culture to be....it's pretty disheartening. Ppl wanna have these ideal relationships, but they don't wanna put in the work. They'll cash in somebody for another, as soon as that person doesn't fulfill them in some way. Somebody said recently, "if you ain't willing to struggle with somebody, then you ain't never gonna have it", and that was some real-ass shit. Too many ppl are expecting perfection from others, but are unwilling to cope with the fact that they themselves are imperfect. The best thing I think you can ask for relationship-wise is simply somebody you can work with...somebody you can build with. Cuz contrary to what ppl want to believe, everybody on earth is fucked up in some way. Social media will have folks believing that there are ppl walking around here that are 100% perfect and "healed", which is the buzzword they like to use. Nah, errbody fucked up and struggling with something or some "things". Thus is life. But it's that very expectation of perfection that stifles true love. Folks will tell you they love you all day, but when shit gets rough...when shit gets difficult - that's the time to put that love into action. If you ain't never had to practice patience, understanding, or forgiveness with someone, how can you claim to love them? That disney shit got ppl fucked up....love ain't an emotion. It's an action. It's a function. If your "love" is based on emotion, then you don't have a house built on a sturdy foundation, you have a sand castle that's gonna be blown away by the very next wind. Building something strong and beautiful, like the Cedars of Lebanon, takes time and patience...you gotta grow roots first.

Album art with the artist's face on it. There are some like this that are very well done (like "Ikuru Sainou" by THE BACK HORN), but usually I find these to be very cheesy for some reason.

A decade ended, and a new one began this year. I don't think we've had this convo yet, so what are yall favorite J-rock albums from the decade of 2010 to 2020? You can list your favorites, and you can also list albums that you simply think stand out or are at least worth a listen for J-rock fans in general. I need to think on this, so i'll come back and share my favs/best later.

None of you predicted COVID, so you're all wrong.

facts on facts on facts

People are so indoctrinated... "Donald Trump is racist". Perhaps, but Biden isn't? Kamala gets a pass too? Did we not already learn this lesson from Obama? This whole damn establishment is racist. No one gives a fuck about black folk, especially ADOS. But ppl are so caught up in this illusion that voting actually solves anything, and they refuse to look at the actual fruit of this nation - which is rotten to the core. ADOS have been exploited since we arrived here in chains, and the exploitation has yet to cease. The physical chains are gone, but the mental, emotional, spiritual, and socioeconomic chains on us are as strong as ever. Now you got these stank-ass politicians exploiting us for our votes. But what tangibles are they actually delivering to ADOS? Will we ever get reparations? Our ppl are still being brutalizd and killed by police. Our ppl are still be incarcerated in record numbers. Our families are still destroyed, as Uncle Tom is the head of most black families these days. We don't own or control anything of significance here, yet these politicians and sell-out celebrities have sold us on the farcical idea of "progress". "But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?" Isaiah 42:22‭-‬23 KJV #ADOS

Facts. Keep showing love tho. If anyone cannot accept that, then they're clearly showing you the type of person they are. - Also, I see more self-proclaimed mothers on social media than I see self-proclaimed wives. This world is ass-backwards.
