Me today.

Today on Monday woke up hearing "I want to be where you are" by Marvin Gaye and felt like that was my mind talking to my soul. lol In other words I felt amazing......I could feel everyones anticipation and joy for the world cup, the proudness, and strength.....The same feeling I got when I was walking downtown on Strand st. and I saw this group of kids singing songs about Jesus and saw the strength inside of them when they sang his name. I had one of those moments of DING!....I get it.....I'm not religious at all but I understood @ that moment what that word Jesus meant to those people. No matter how rough of a situation they were going through, call that name and it will bring you a sense of security and comfort.........peace. I grew up a Jehovah's witness and felt like after my experience with that I was sorta jaded when it came to religion but now I get the real reason for religion.......unity. There are 100's of beliefs around the world and the most brilliant thing about them all is that they all have one common thing.....A path to Jehovah, God, Allah, the Almighty, the Omega, the Supreme, whatever you want to call him/her/it they all mean the same thing your most high. In some odd way the way soccer is uniting this country it's kind of like god like. DAMN SON I"M INSPIRED! I'm learning soo many new things about myself and rediscovering soo many old things that were lost amongst all of the bullshit that we get caught up in day to day. I have to be honest I lost track of love......and when I say love I don't necessarily mean being in love even though that's part of it.....I lost track of love for myself. I got caught up in the game where I was trying to please everyone and lost track of what made Casey happy which is Love for myself. I haven't loved myself for such a while and now I see how my happiness needs to be genuine so I can share a genuine love with and for others. That's how I've been built, how my mom and dad raised me and how I reach my optimum potential as an artist, man, person, and human being. Operating from a place of love for myself (yourself) will bring an amazing brilliance that I (you) never knew I (you) had or could even reach. So now I practice unconditional love for myself so that I can love unconditionally with and for others. If you love you unconditionally, you know how it feels so loving someone unconditionally is completely possible. N E way life's moving and I don't want to miss another moment so till later peoples. Live like you mean it! Love like you know what it feels like to be loved! and DREAM! it's the only way to fly!

Wanna send a shout out to my family mom, pop, sisters, brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, personal friends and especially nieces and nephews, nyia, tyree, logan, jamal, kamari! When I think of my life I think of you, and when I think of you I think of unlimited love, life, and optimism.....Happy feelins in the air sons and sonnets! you 5 are the shit to me and I look up to you when I'm down.......peace

Soccer Fevauh!

The fever is on now that we are 6 days away from the world cup kick off in a country that has been waiting to show the world that they have arrived and are ready to be taken seriously. It's inspiring to see soo many people this proud of their country especially coming from a place where we have allot of complaints about how the nation is being treated.....i.e oil spill. After hearing blacks talk about coloreds, coloreds talk about black, and white folks not talk about either its good to see a common ground held by the ethnic groups here...lol. Don't mean to laugh but I think it's funny that there is a difference between black people here.....coloreds and black.....I had a woman tell me she was mixed...1/2 colored 1/2 black....all I could think was......baby u black! In America coloreds are called light skinned people but still considered black and no better than dark skin. Here there is truly a difference......can't be mad at someones beliefs it's what makes us who we are. The brilliant thing about traveling is that you are exposed to things that you never knew existed........people, customs, traditions, different smells, colors, food, textures, dances, fashion, art, artist, sounds, music, love, and knowledge. So weather you are black, colored, mexican (haven't seen to many of here), white, indian, japanese, chinese, etc.......traveling to see and experience the unknown makes you a more interesting person and human being.......And being an interesting person and human being is where I find common ground. Find your mind and expand it, find your life and live it, love your life and watch the world show itself.........stay ready so you don't have to get ready.

YAH!
MAKE THE CIRCLE BIGGGAAA MAKE CIRCLE BIGGA!!!!!

I'm finally bloggin about.........

So I decided to blog because first everyone keeps saying that I should and second...........I really should. I've been in south africa for 39 days and I'd say 15 have been cool and the rest.......eeeeeehhhhh lets just say not as good as a brotha would have liked them to........and the 15 days were spread out but it's all good wouldn't change it for the world it's all part of the journey. The experiences that I've had have been very good for my soul I must admit, maturing.....just had a not so good try for the first time burger spot........eeewwww stomatch is actin soo funny right now it should be doin stand up. Been drinking more than I ever did (and I didn't really drink in the first place so that ain't saying much) but hey it's a party town. I'm talking to my nephew as I type this on skype and I asked him y is he soo goofy and he said "Cuz I just watched a goofy marathon"......boy is nutz.....like his uncle. As you can see I don't have to much of shit to say @ the moment cause my all of my concern and thoughts are going to my gut as it continues turn and argue with me about eatin that wack ass burger.........but as my journey continues I promise that I will continue to update daily. So for now peace, live your life like your last breath is counted and your dreams are within reach.......
