An Opinion



Rocky Jr :
"...Don't you care about what other people say?!..."

Rocky Sr : "...Then the time came for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life..."


An opinion.

It is one of the greatest gifts we are given,

especially when we live in a society that encourages it on a wide scale

when debating some small and trivial matters.

The truth is we have always had it,

but there have been plenty of times when we have chosen not to use it.

Do you we use it for right or wrong?

Do we use it to influence those we choose to be around or do we choose it to educate?

If I didn’t have an opinion,

I would not be writing this blog.

Things can change if you want them to,

but like everything that is worth having,

it takes a great deal of effort.

When protest marches took place in the 60’s and 70’s,

there was more of a movement then there is today.

You can throw in artistic nature,

rebelling for change,

people who did not want to be like their parents as likely reasons.

Today I do not think we do that and

some would say we have even more of a platform to express ourselves.

Take one look at Youtube and

you will find ready made celebrities.

From the man crying about the media harassment of Britney Spears to

the guys who can complain about George Bush being an idiot.

There is always an opportunity to get your voice heard.

I wonder what the likes of Micheal Jackson or Elmo would have done with

something like Youtube or Myspace?

Tell me your views.
