I feel good. hope I don’t get into no trouble good.
To live, man must hold three things as the supreme and ruling values of his life: Reason—Purpose—Self-esteem. Reason, as his only tool of knowledge—Purpose, as his choice of the happiness which that tool must proceed …

most avoid the things that I seem to naturally gravitate towards. I go at them head-on where many prefer to leave it unspoken…
I always want to know why and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter.
everybody can’t dance like that thru life. it ain’t easy, but once you reach that plateau there’s no going back…
folks will even delete conversations that get “too deep” or real. it’s one thing to remove profanity or spam, its another to expel opposing viewpoints and opinions. things seen as “negative” or contrary. there are even groups and programs like this that state up front that they will only allow fluffy soft talk and admiration

many of us use Facebook and other social media sites to establish a persona, a character, a band or business and in doing so we build and maintain our timeline with an intimate and intricate expertise. we store our pictures and videos and writings in what seems to be a stable repository.
more than a few years back i realized that i dont own anything on Facebook and that it could be gone away in a blink of an eye and there would be nothing i could do about it. so every so frequently i copy and paste the significant mind blowing points i make inspired by the FB limelight into the website I OWN and I TOTALLY CONTROL jefferytv.com.
there is no way i am going to let the years and years of work and effort i have put in be solely left in the hands of an external source without at least having a back-up.

a year like that isn’t something that just happens. you cant just go out and consistently accomplish the things that i did last year without any rememberable issues, stress or problems. it took years of preparation, generations even. and it started with my parent’s parents and even before. understanding, intellect, confidence, education, personality
and a lot more are needed to manipulate the resources and information around you into the life that you deeply desire.
i can go into a very very deep explanation of this, but i wont. im just gonna say that i was exposed and privileged to things by my parents at an early age that gave me an advantage over most of the kids around me. i took this understanding, modified it to fit me, then developed it over 38 years- i now pass this understanding to my children…

2000 was the best year of my life by far…
it was so good that its hard to put into words. the things that i have the deepest passion for were continuously close to me. people, places, learning, experiencing, etc… there are 65 things listed for the year on my events page. it started traditionally at the rose parade jan 1 in pasadena. a month later in feb a high level exec pulled some strings
and got me into a private p-funk show and i was on stage for awhile with funkadelic. two days after that i sat 2nd row for les miserables

recording today, pushing that red button. folks in the studio means guests in the bathroom. which is the 2nd best motivation behind odor to clean it. might as well vacuum the place as well. I live in the dessert so there’s always dust.
the building stays quiet on sunday morning. it’s easy like the song. the sound of birds, not even dogs barking. just laying here for a few on a rare don’t have to be anywhere or do nothing morning. time to reflect, recognize and appreciate just how good I got it (or what I need to correct to get it good). money may not be able to buy happiness, but that down payment part is very damn true. as I’ve always been a fan of maslow’s hierarchy.
I am very proud and appreciative of where and what I am in life. If I was religious I would be thanking a God in my humility. but I can look back and see the elements that got me here. and it was my parents and my family. with what I was given I had no choice but to be more than just “successful.” the tools and support were there day one. at times I feel obligated to live up to what was bestowed upon me. and to give back as I feel indebted in ways. I look around and everybody ain’t have it like I did.
jeffery has pretty much all the things jeffery wants. my concern is expanding that “want” list to include “bigger” things. to include more macro level goals. to give back to humanity and the larger picture. accomplishing or attaining is a minor factor in this equation. as is my impact on history.
to be great, you have to be comfortable imagining yourself as great. and that doesn’t mean posting self-worth memes on Facebook as a reminder. it has to be in your every breath. greatness don’t happen on accident.

Happy to be back at work after a restful, relaxing, yet productive 3 days off. Gained a few pounds but it was worth it. (218.6)
This is the first somemore in a very long time when I’ve been skinny, sexy, single, sober, smokingless and an “s” word that means I got a few dollars in my pocket.
I felt good losing weight, but did it smoking them black and milds over the last 6 months. Boy what a difference putting those down has made on my energy and sense of being. But without that habit I have to watch my eatings in that space.
And if I am sexy or not is not the point. I feel I look good and that’s because of a combination of a bunch of things probably mostly non-physical. Attractive is an act and it’s reflected by how good I feel in every movement or action that I make. Walking around this rock 30 lbs lighter shining this little light of mine radiating energy that can be very easily seen and felt.
I left my lunch at home.
wide open honesty makes me happy in this life. being able to unashamedly express and document how I am feeling at any given moment.
I have found a true power in living without lies. There is a magical euphoric freedom that seems to have elevated me above all the bullshit.

it is so worth it that i get my weekly FUNKY FRIDAYS fix. by “so worth it” i mean i do what i have to do to get it in til 1am- after working an 8hr day ’till 2pm- and then be in my chair ready to work an 8hr shift at 4am. this is the 3rd week i’ve abruptly left the spot to go home, get in bed and get an hour of sleep before heading back out to work. i also take a nap for a few hours before going to the club.
last night was good sooooo good somehow i ended up on the mic during Funkentelechy only to draw a blank on the words ive sung for 40 years and i enjoyed every second of it. the crowd, the vibe, the music- and i mean HOW the music is played and by WHOM. everybody can’t play my all time favorite music to my liking (LOL not even P-FUNK themselves on some nights!!) so this weekly opportunity has become a must for me as the cats who come to play know and have lived p-funk most of their lives like i have…
gonna get my dose of funk tonight at funky fridays because i gots to have it, and i thank the funk universe i live in an area where i can get it- even though its changing. white people done heard about it now and are coming out. and they are “dancing” and it changes the vibe i became accustomed to at my favorite funky spot. don’t get me wrong i love white folks but i cant get with viewing sporadic spasms while i’m getting with a vibe. what does it mean that i rarely if ever see people of color move like this when the music is playing?

Haterade is an alert and indicator system. Not that I actually “hate” anything, but I found when I catch myself not being happy for something it’s because I’m lacking something that I desire. So I recognize that and go get it. I refocus that energy.
Then my irritation and irritability goes away and all is right with the world again.

For me and my situational. Changing aspects of my life coming together in different ways. This is like that now, that done got right now, etc. Interesting combinations in an equation full of variables. I was fairly good at math and this being my 53 summer, 32nd in California I think I got the game down just enough but hopefully not too much…
What do I want? What do I very really want?
Want, not need. Need is easy and is usually very apparent. But want at this time of my life is sometimes difficult to determine. Which leaves things wide open, which is good in ways. Being wide open for opportunity and ready for it.
Many things are in place
And are established
I want something. Or I’m so use to wanting something that I miss or want something to want. For a good while it had been wanting a job or better employment. Or a desire for a particular type of relationship. Those having been satisfied at least temporarily there is nothing that I’m chasing and the waters are calm.
The motor is off and the sails are down. There is no where to be because it feels like I’m there.
