Mixed Up Moods and Attitudes

It is not nice to judge people based on what you hear. And sometimes what you see may be representative of a bad day. We all have our ups and downs. I know there are people who would say that I am rude but it's a small percentage because they caught me at a bad time. It's not everyday that I'm in a good mood and no one can say that they're always in high spirits.

Music is my mood updater. It's the app that makes me most happy. It's the chocolate at that time of the month and it's the heart mender for me. It's important to have something that can distract you from what's negative around you. It's imperative that you have an outlet.

So many people are stressed around us and they don't share what's happening to them. It's not everything that we can pick up on either. However, when we realize that something is wrong, it's time to address it and deal with it.

Let's be a help to those around us. Even if our listening ear can't help, we can direct them to someone who can. Remember we are our brother's keeper.

The Fantastic Four and Jacob Miller explained it best in their songs with similar title, "Mixed Up Moods and Attitudes" and "Mixed Up Moods" respectively.

POEM: Regaining Inspiration


It took me some time to
rid myself of the block
and it wasn't like it was locked
but I guess I was just flocked
with insignificant tidbits
that just offset my wits
for some moments
so my comments
have been minimal
and the subliminal
remained in space
not shared
but not to worry
it's all under repair
and while you may
want to compare
it's only fair
to let you know
that I dare
to be different
I dare to face the
consequences
I move with passion
and not in the everyday fashion
cause that's my style
and my vibe
is about contentment
and positive sources to vent
releasing the blocks
that keep us locked
in our fears
it's time to awake and rise up

Short Poem: Music in the Message


Rhythm makes the beat of my message
and blues show my versatility
even if I pop my ego along the way
the reggae sensations take me to the next level
and soca time is happy time
I'm a 70s baby and a classic comic
so my range is wide and contains 
elements of all genres
