Sitting and Doing Nothing

Sitting and Doing Nothing

author: Imran Khan category: Articles and Stories

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, ‘Can I also sit like you and do nothing?’
The eagle answered: ‘Sure, why not.’

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

are you a lion or an ostrich ?

are you an ostrich ?


ostriches ; beautiful creatures indeed . they kind of remind you of a bird version of a giraffe with their long necks and voluptuous asses (that big ole booty prolly reminds you of me , huh ? (; lol ) . they're amazing to look at , however the morals of this bird are not ones that you should ever consider imitating .

an ostrich is getting chased by lion . instead of running for cover behind a tree or a rock , Stupid Ass finds the first whole he sees and sticks his head in it . only his head . note that his long ass neck and Buffie the Body booty is still up in the air , more visible than a fat woman in a neon pink bodysuit . the lion just sits there for a minute and looks at the idiot . "is this nigga really serious ?" the ostrich gets devoured due to his stupid attempt to "protect" himself .

the ostrich believes that if he can't see you , you can't see him . he's safe . he runs from his problems in hopes that they'll never catch up with him , and when he finally has to face his fears , he runs and sticks his head in sand thinkin that if he can't see his fears they won't eat him alive .


there's a phenomenon going on where people aren't accepting their dreams . instead of doing what feels right to them , they're too focused on what other people think . fortunately , there are some lions in this world that see what they want and have the mind-state that it will be obtained by any means necessary . however , there are indeed ostriches in this world . cause with a dream comes an increase of criticism and a decrease of support or acceptance , & people that can't handle this let the dream chase after them (or in other words , haunting them) instead of going for what they feel is natural . but just because you stick your head in a ditch , & just because you put the dream out of sight , you still know it's there . the dream still exists , you're just too afraid to go after it .
and THIS , my young listener , is why ostriches cannot fly .


lions or ostriches ; which will you aspire to be today ? for life ?

Prince's lifetime achievement tribute .

just getting IN the music world is so much . you have to find people tat believe in you just as much as you do , then build a fan base , and then you have to find a record label that fits you and all you want to do in your music . and after all that is over and done , you have to sit back and be criticized for everything you do and wear ; especially Prince . his out-of-the-ordinary style made it hard for people to accept him and think to give his music a chance . at the least , he is a musical genius and one hell of a performer , and because of that he gained acceptance from people all over the world . put yourself in his shoes . imagine going through this long road of stardom, experiencing the highest heights and the steepest valleys, unsure of how much your music impacted later generations , and then receiving this :





how do you begin to describe that feeling ? to be truly honored and thanked for your work . for pregnant women to climb on pianos , for old women to kick off their shoes , for young women to dance and scream as hard as you did . these women , alicia keys , patte labelle and janelle monae , gave their performances all that they have and more . and for YOUR song to be the one being performed ... wow . the feeling is one i can barely fathom .

Prince , you deserved it . you are amazingggg . it sucks because our generation doesn't understand the depths of how good your music was , and some never will . well , i know . and i thank you everyday for making my dream possible .

love ? where'd you go ?

i'd like to find love .
not in the sense of someone to love or experiencing it intimatly with someone of the opposite sex , but i want to find out where love went . recently, it seems as though everyone's love flame around me is burning out quicker than high school dropouts . where did all the love go ?
love is like having a baby; the process is amazing , but the end results bring nothing but pain and responsibility .
i'm beginning to digress . all i want to know is this: where does love go when two people don't share it anymore ? is it bottled and recycled , or does it get thrown away ? where is all of the love in the world that has been neglected ? is there a certain distant "love island" that only a selected few know about ? i mean it has to go somewhere . maybe it's taken from adults that think too deeply of it and depreciate it and instead it's given to innocent ignorant teenagers that don't know the pain it brings .

i really don't know where love is . i have not the slightest clue . if you were to ask me , love hides in music . i see him peeking around the snares and kicks . i feel him breathe on my neck from time to time between his melodic adlibs . I swing my head around , but he vanishes before i can recognize his face . love , is that you again ? you're always toying with me . maybe one day we will find each other .
