Can't Go Wrong With A Twix

Once upon, a time there was a running back named Jazzy Jeff. He wore the number 25, and he was a 23 year old rookie in the NFL. He wasn’t like all the other Players who celebrated when ever they scored. No, instead of touchdown dances after he scored he went to the sideline and ate a Twix candy bar. Touchdown after touchdown he had the same routine every time.Except one.

    In the last game of the regular season he had scored 5 touchdowns and all of them he celebrated by eating a Twix, but not the last one. After he scored his last touchdown he went to the side line and looked for another Twix but wait. It was gone!!! He saw one of the lineman eating eat.Furious & betrayed ,he said,   “You fatty’!!! said Jazzy.

“Why are you always eating”? “You eat before the game, during the game, on the field when we play, even after we play”. “You could lose a few meals”.The lineman looked at Jazzy disappointed and said, “you have got to be kidding”! Jazzy looked at the Twix rapper and said. “you have to be kidding!” “That was 10 Twixes you ate”.  Jazzy was upset that he couldn’t celebrate his last touchdown with a twix but, curiously, he walked to the other part of the sidline. YES!!!!! said Jazzy.  One last Twix! Jazzy not only won the game for his team, he was also reunited with his luscious Twix, he lived happily ever after.    THE END.

haters love me

        Man yall haters is hilarious, just cause I was born in February meens dat im Aquarius. How dare you sit and act like is if  your holier     than thou, but here I made it big, and you guys want somethin to do with me now. I don't understand why you guys  are so hateful,  no matter what im going through grandma, and god are my gardian angles. You taunt me guys just let me do me, you say I suck, really don't but come to the next game and you will see. 

          Every one knows me through the game, I made my point across that the way I play ain't lame. Reverse this, I give blind to the sight full, like Jesus Christ, all the 11 guys on the field are my disciples. I'm not afraid to admit my sins, cause  every one lies, my number is 25 and I wear it with pride. When you stabbed me in the back, felt like I was dissed, but just remember when people turn on you remember this, If you make it big they with you for two things, fame and money, the girls will act like they love, and even call you honey. Just remember to do right, live by JESUS CHRIST. hello out there can you here me? I'm singing S.O.S. so let me be me, cause y'all act like it's a brezzy but realize that life ain't easy.

football + life = srtuggle

    Like football, life is hard. It's kind of like as your a running back trying to plow his through the defense. Fighting for that extra yard, or fighting to to feed your kids. It's a day to day struggle to survive, hoping to make it through. Being tackled at full speed is like a nasty car wreck, and scoring a touchdown is like getting a huge paycheck bonus from your job. Any way can lead to happiness, anger, and sadness. But motivation is the real reason why people who are struggling make it through every day. whether it be at home, at your job, or on the football field.  Faith in the man upstairs and hope will motivate you to continue to keep going no matter how bad or good things might seem.

DEAD BEAT FATER.

I don’t know why you trippin, you sittin on your fat butt, and im out here spittin. You just another hater that i got to  prove wrong. You didn’t want nothing to do with me for 14 years that time is long.

You threatened to hurt my mother when she was pregnant with me. Does that make me want to fight you, definitely.  I don’t want to be called your son. Don’t bother me if I make it big, whats done is done. People say i can’t do nothing but with god I can, you lazy bum you need to realize,  I am what I am. Unlike you I ain’t afraid to achieve greatness. You messing with the wrong child you made you, better learn this. Quit letting your wife fight your battles for you. Found out that my lil sis is your daughter, that makes 3 kids not 2. I hope  god blesses me with kids one day. that way when people ask if I'm like you as a father they'll say  NO WAY. People are always crying on my shoulder, come to my school, talk to my teachers and I'll smack you with a ruler. Bottom line is you need to lose some weight. Dude you needa get on that treadmill, not eat chocolate cake. Why do you run away from ya problems. I wanna be me but you try to hold me down like one of them. Father? man what kind of word is that, you aint got no job you white and lazy trailer park trash. You think you all that  making my mom really sad, listen hear buddy you straight up whack. Don’t worry bout that just let me be free, but mike you better hope i don’t catch you in my streets.

When i visit my home town I look for you, turn and turn. Man i don’t really rap im just good with words. Why you gotta do this just be a man, Don’t bother my family no more, I’m Lee D’s grandson, boy you needa understand. When i make it big don’t bother to find me, im 14 goin on 15 don’t spreed no time sheets.

How to give THE BIG MAN the glory

  When i was 14 i found out my dad wasn't my real dad. My real dad doesn't want anything to do with me. That can only make you feel like the world is just coming down and attacking you, because nobody wants to know that their mom or dad does not want them. I saw a picture of my dad, he was a little over the average height, pumpkin orange hair, and white skin as pale as a cancer patient. My mom protected me from that raggaty person. Knowing someday that she would have to tell me , but she kept it a secret for my own good. The way she told me was, after school at the begining of the school year. I had gotten a student informatin sheet. It said on there that my step father who I thaught was my real father was my step father. so i called my mom and she broke the news to me when she got home from her college classes.

    Fnding this out at 14 was devastating, especially going through football season. Being over shadowed by some players really didn't help me at all. being over shadowed meaning that the coach wouldnt let my try out at the position that I have played all my life(running back) , and there was this one player that the coach thought was the best player to come out of kannapolis. He said I just didnt have the stature or the "color" to play that position. Basically he was saying because I was not black I could'nt play what I wanted to play. I have a lot of  "friends" that has turned their back on me and who have became haters. But just being able to play football was my own way of giving God the glory for all the bad and all the good that has happened, and because of that he allowed me to start in another postion for the team. Hearing the roaring crowd of excitement filled me with an emotion that words just can't describe.
   They say I cant play football or I'm not good at it but when they see me and I say "Do I suck now" they can't say anything. I think that God continues to bless me with this talent because I do give God the glory for all the bad and all the good for the right reasons. They say I definitely will NOT make  it pro playing football but I feel like this whole dad thing is motivation and the haters are motivating me to prove them wrong.
    I find the whole "dad" experience a sign from God meaning that I one day might have kids of my own and I hope and want to be a way better father to my kids unlike my biological father was never to me. I am from Fayettville and 1/3 of the kids there don't know who their fathers are. But here in Kannapolis I hear kids and teens say my dad forgot to come pick me up and do this and that. What they don't realize and know is, that they are so lucky just to even know their real father;  thats my philosophy. Now a days kids that don't know their dads or moms would be a pain to some people or a pain to them selves. I just hope that none of my real friends and no one else has to go through what I have gone through and what I am going through. Mike Minter talked to me about how to give God the glory when things are not right,  and how to have hope. What a lot of people don't really know is that faith in God and hope put together is so powerful, and as long as you have hope and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you can continue to get up for the next fight. Mter told me this motivational saying when i broke my ankle and since then i was able, and still able to this day use that analogy to help through my little bumps in the road, becaues no matter how big or small your problems are none of them are as big as God's love.
