If you take a hundred shots, one is bound to go in. Too bad most give up after the 50th miss.
Heaven is strictly RSVP, no gate crashing whatsoever. No bribing the bouncers either….What have you done warrant the invitation?
At my passing, I hope I would have left enough footprints for people to know where I’m headed and what path(s) I treaded on.
Growing up at my own pace…too bad everyone else is running a different race.
I need to be a part of the tide that lifts up all boats and by boats I mean my fellow men.
Sometimes people take you under their wings, not because they want to protect you but rather because they are afraid of you soaring higher
At the fork in the road, and sadly the direction I want to take, no one else has….so confused. The benefits might outweigh the risk though
Most times, it is easier to talk about everything but life.
Age is like that ball of snow, slowly gathering momentum and before you know it, turns into an avalanche. Once it gets going, there’s nothing that can stop it, except death that is, but the point is, age teamed with time, are unstoppable forces. Its best to make hay whilst the sun shines as the proverbial phrase goes. You just never know when that ball of snow is going to stop.
Desire, Aspire, Inspire
My Books
Its that time again, and by that I mean, time for some self publicity. I moved my books to smashwords, hopefully the move was worth it. Below are the links, feel free to check them out.

One day, it will all make sense.
Unfortunately some will give up common sense for lent.

Desire
Strapped in this ride called life
Wondering where I’m headed
Are those fumes behind me
Or am I simply stirring up dust
Am I getting ahead
Or am I lagging
Still looking for that break on the horizon
All I see is haze
Quick glance at the speedometer
Not reassuring what I see
Running on reserve
Dangerously close to empty
Lonely road to traverse
I see no help around...

Wedding Bells
Whenever I read or hear about another friend or peer getting engaged or married, something stirs within me. It’s almost like I can hear the groan(s) from inside me. This is something I have been battling with for a while now.
A couple of years back it probably wouldn’t have bothered me. In fact I’d probably have said “there’s no rush to finding a partner, I want to...
When you grow with a person, make sure to take in the changes.
Never confuse a marathon runner with a sprinter. Most people are in it for the short term, can’t endure anything past that.
I am better than what I was, but not as good as who I intend to be.
I don’t want a partner wanting to be lead; rather one that is willing to walk side by side with me.

Let your thoughts sprout words like newly planted seeds yearning for sunlight
Let them elaborate your highs and lows, your everyday plight
For many were born with eyes, not many were gifted with sight
Show them the way, guide them towards the light
You were born with a gift, show them why you write
I know he hasn’t given up on me because he keeps replenishing my mental reserves. Should have been on empty a long time ago.
The hunger that afflicts me cannot be satisfied by mere food
My appetite for success cannot be whet by a few morsels
Until I can wake up to a view that overlooks the city from the highest vantage point
Until I can wake up one day and decide I want to be in another country by night’s end
Until money becomes an after thought not a source of constant worry
I still have much to do
Some days I want to go Kal-el on folks, sadly most days I choose to be Clark Kent
When the snakes rear their heads, I don’t make the mistake of playing snake charmer.

If you are not chasing something that seems elusive chances are you might not truly appreciate the Jeremy Lin phenomenon. Its not about race, rather its the classic under dog story. A guy who no one was willing to give a chance and by some amazing twist of luck (though some might call it fate) finally gets a chance to prove himself and does so with flying colors. I am glad this happened because it...

Lover's Ode
Lovers flirting gleefully, their faces in the moonlight radiating beautifully On this glorious day, tis a sight to behold their joyful way Listening to their merry music, watch their dancing hips sway Lost in the present moment, their loving embrace lights up the stage What a sight to behold, I watch enviously from my concealed fold Sitting patiently in my perch, they are completely unaware of...
My aim is so far, yet so bright
Illuminating my path, providing me with light
In times when I am shrouded by darkness, in need of sight
Frustrated with life, cursing my plight
It gives me the resolve, to keep up with the fight
So even when they feel unattainable, I know I am doing right
Strengthened by my passion, my desire gives me insight
To a future that lays ahead, I forge ahead with...
Thank God for people who document their struggles and victories through music. Keeps me going knowing there are others who overcome the odds daily.
New tax bracket….different set of women.
I am what she wants, too bad she doesn’t know it.
Like moth to flame…I seem to be drawn to things that are bad for me

On Jeremy Lin and Whitney Houston
February 11 2012, knowing what I know now, it has turned out to be a very weird day if not a sad one. If my brother were alive right now, he’d be 27 and chances are we’d be celebrating somewhere together or maybe not. My brother and I have always been different. He was the more social one, I was the withdrawn one. I could write pages on this but instead I’ll go a...
I stay mostly because I am looking for a reason to leave.
The weird thing about death is that for me I don’t really forget. It acts as a reminder that life is precious. It can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Make the most out of it.
Mama when they google my name a bunch of results pop up now :)
What they have to offer, I dont want…what I have to offer, they all want. Funny how life works.
Sometimes I get selfish and want to accomplish so much, then I realize my parents will want me to have a wife and kids & all that good stuff. Once kids come into the equation, a lot of things go out the window. Might as well enjoy your life right now before they start popping up
On her path to find the right guy, she’s already gone through a forest of guys
They used to feign disinterest …. until I showed them the S on my chest
Whatever you tell yourself the most, is probably what you will become.
I don’t want to be another blade of grass swinging to and fro in the wind, probably ending up as some Herbivore’ meal.
Going crazy to stay sane
Change is hard to notice when you ply the same road daily.
The things I once chased will eventually make their way back to me and on my terms. - M.K. 2/2/12
If they let me tell my stories the way I want to…I will change lives. I am beyond the moment of clarity, I know what I am capable of.
Celebrate life…not deaths.
Always have in mind what you want your eulogy to sound like.
The most resourceful people are optimists by default.
Imagination is like a never ending vault of ideas. Once I get low on it, all I do is reach in deeper and presto! It’s replenished.
Coming to realize it seems I am perpetually chasing ideas. By the time one is barely settled in, I am already after another.
