You Started It, You Fix It

Women are used to dealing with conflict because they're the source of it.

Tallahassee Is A Warzone? Stop It

I'm annoyed at some Tallahassee citizens who swear Tallahassee has a crime issue. In order for Tallahassee to have a true crime problem, our violent crime has to be on par with property crime. Looking at the stats, Tallahassee's crime is lopsided because the property crime is much higher than violent crime. If anything, Tallahassee's property crime is the highest in the state (according to FDLE), and that's stretching it because comparing Tallahassee's crime with that of Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, those places dwarf Tallahassee in violent and property crime. Don't get me started on how some people are saying Tallahassee is #1 in murder. As long as I've lived in Tallahassee (being from Miami), our annual murder count has stayed below the teens; Tallahassee usually averages 7 murders a year, which is good considering the city's size. Why? Because citizens and law enforcement won't let this city get out of control. The worst areas of Tallahassee have at least 2-3 police cruisers patrolling the hoods, so you really think folks are going to pull it? Negative. Look at the top 50 US cities (mid-size to large) with high murder rates and you won't find Tallahassee on there, I promise you.

Tallahassee folks still saying Tallahassee's #1 in murder? Stop it. We haven't cracked the list of top 50 US cities with high murder rates.

Hit Or Miss?

If you live life long enough, you'll understand. No one has it all together, myself included.

The best of us miss the mark from time to time.

If I Knew Then What I Know Now..

That's why some people keep getting the same result(s), refusal to change. 

If some people knew then what they know now, they'd do the same thing.

How You Used To Be

Everyone has a past, good or bad, but this tweet is for those who have ugly pasts that they're ashamed of. As long as you've been forgiven and repented, let people run their mouths about your past. 9 times out of 10, theirs haven't been exposed yet.

When God has rectified your past, it shouldn't matter if people bring up how you used to be.

He Was A Good Kid

Whenever I watch a parent speak of their child's death, I sometimes get annoyed when (s)he says they're innocent, knowing that kid was running the streets being O'Dog (Menace 2 Society character). 

Every youth who loses their life isn't innocent.

Random Thought: Hurricane Katrina

When Katrina ravaged New Orleans, the violent crime went up in Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Baton Rouge. New Orleans' murder rate is infamous for being 10x the national rate, but those N.O. cats would not have gotten by with trying to take over Miami or Memphis, because dudes in those places are just as gutter as N.O. dudes.
