Smile and Styles

The one i was once afraid to lose...the friends that we choose...how could i let him take her heart and abuse. To each their own; free will. But my choice, my free will was taken with that smile, that laughter, the similarities in our tears, the sharing of our pains through out the years. This is for her, my friend.

A cold crisp night in the December desert, no place like it. Whispers do not speak without the wind to carry their voices and so I sit in silence to you. But inside, my head is alive with thought, conviction, desire and so many other emotions that I couldn't even begin to aggregate. Fingers move, thoughts flow, blog forms...

As we approach the winter solstice I feel a change in not just myself but in my niche as well. I can feel a change coming and it feels good. Quite possible this could be exactly what i've been waiting for, FREEDOM. I started this blog with the word emancipate, a word with many definitions but essentially one meaning; FREEDOM. The Sun's journey south in a few days will signal the death of my "demons" and the birth of the beast. I feel like a hostage; hungry and ready to devour every trial & tribulation put forth before me. Everything I desire, i will acquire. In twitter-speak, #Motivation lives @OfficialTWill 's temple.

Ummmmm, Life's a Bitch... Right?

I've semi believed this for sometime now but i finally gotten my mind up that I'm sure of it. Life's a bitch. I've come a long way on a path well to familiar to us all. I have loved, I have laughed, I have lived bot frequently enough have I done all three in sync. In the immortal words of the legend that is Sam Cooke, "But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will."

In simple terms, Life is a bitch; my bitch, i.e. my bottom bitch and, Like Iceberg Slim im in the mood for pimpin. 2010, God willing, will be the year that I take the bull by the horns. I want to make life work for me and, once again; God willing, i would love to walk away from all the bullshit that plagues me. 2009 I define as the reinvention of T.Will and the pre-birth of Mr. Williams. The theme for 2010; The Re-dedication of Me. Hmmmm, sounds good doesn't it? Well it should be an interesting voyage, come along for the ride. Love, Mr McCool.

I found my Muse!!!

I found her and low and behold, she was never lost in the first place. inspiration has returned to me and i've embraced it. Hopefully, this time i find a way to entice her to stay. More to come, promised three times. Blog ya soon!

a year of re-invention and the reflections on life...

1 week to go 'till I can oficially claim my knock-out title over life. March 6th, 2008 will mark my defeat over the struggle, the turmoil and the tribulations that have helped me structure my life and define my persona thus far. Some would argue that one cannot defeat life, one can simply adapt and overcome but i say to them, "What kind of life could you call it if no one ever changed the world around them but merely changed themselves to fit in said world?"

None the less, a quarter of a century down and I'm feeling pretty damn good about life, and where i am in it. For the past 25 years i've molded my surroundings to better suit me and the way i choose to live my life but this next 25 will be my chance to change the people around me. To impact their lives in such a way to make everyone around me better at being themselves. And for the people that dont wanna change..oh well, STFU and do as i tell you :) Attitude is everything...

The Alpha...

I thought I'd open up by introducing myself, my name is Thomas Williams (aka Soulja221). I'm originally from Houston, Texas and grew up there until joining the United States Air Force. for there i went on to live in Japan for some time and now i reside in Surprise, AZ , a small community about 15 miles outside Phoenix. I've been married and divorced, I have 1 child, a daughter who lives in Houston with her mother and at this moment I'm dating a young lady and we're expecting a healthy baby boy or girl in May of 2008. I'm passionate about numerous things but my main hobbies include tinkering with electronics, writing, reading and the care of various animal species...including man cubs.

I've written 1 book which is yet to be published, not from a lack of available publishers but from a lack of preparation to face the world with my ideas. I feel that when the time comes, I'll put my right foot first and step up to the plate, only to close my eyes and swing for the fence because when it's right, its right. I'm currently gathering ideas for a new book in which i plan to discuss my thoughts on relationships and the roles we play in them. There will be more to come on this though, hell, i may even start writing from here, who knows lol? Anyways, grab a seat and enjoy the trip, I'll make sure that's it's something to write home about.
