What’s good everyone,
Another year and another decade (wow) is about to be in the books! We always talk about how time flows. When you live in the moment time goes on forever, and along the same token, you can blink and time will pass you by. I took a little time to reflect on this year to highlight some accomplishments.
- Blogworld presence - I celebrated one year of Streetztalk in April, and that was a great personal accomplishment. admiringly, my site content has dwindled somewhat. it dwindled, however, as a result of other moves I made. I became a part of Examiner.com reporting on different aspects of sex and relationships. I earned a spot on the Singleblackmale.net roster as a result of my posts on examiner and Blogxilla, and now I’m the every Wednesday writer. I’ve done a few guest posts for threewaystotakeit.com as well. I joined twitter, and almost 40,000 tweets later the impact can still be felt. that site helped MANY a day pass by and helped to further cement my place on these internets. I also became a part of a new hip hop site, thefoxxfiles.com. I put in a lot of work and saw the fruits of my labor blossom before my eyes. It’s a blessing, and I look to continue to do great things
- I travelled a lot this year. i finally hit Latin America and made my return to MIA. I realize that I love travelling and plan to make even more moves in 2010. Its refreshing, relaxing, and great to have new experiences. i can’t wait!
- My job was secure in a tumultuous year for the company. As always, i was happy to be employed, but that excuse for no bonuses, raises, or promotions is getting tired. I’m definitely looking to make a mark in 2010 in one way or another.
- Family is in great health and we all are looking towards bigger and better in 2010. I pray that they can reach their goals and i can help in any way I can.
- My personal health was good this year. A few minor injuries, along with discovering that i have allergies to shellfish, smh. All in all a great look for me healthwise overall.
- My workout plan fluctuated in 2009. I look to be 100% consistent next year. No excuses no slacking. This goal is 5 years in the making and I need to accomplish this Next year!
I can’t say that I experienced major harship. I struggled with the idea of success and I realized that I have to have defined goals, and meet them. I’ve acheived a lot over my life, but it’s time to realize that new level of greatness! Relationship stuff hasn’t been prevalent. I got hit with a few #swindles from females but that’s life. I’m extrememly happy where I am now, and that’s what matters. As my dad taught me, all things will come in time, be patient and take care of what you can control. Wise words from a decent man!
As far as resolutions go, Im not big on them. What i do is write out some goals for the year and look back monthly to see my progress. This year I accomplished about 1/4 of everything I hoped to achieve (not taking into account any shifts in goals or disinterest with any hobbies, etc). I look to make realistic goals and achieve them.
90% of resolutions fail because we make them, and then forget. If you are serious about these resolutions, check on them daily/weekly/monthly and make sure u stick to them! It’s the only way to be great!
I also hope in this upcoming year i develop a distinct voice for this site and stick to it. Any suggestions definitely let me know. I thank you for all the support this year, and promise you that 2009 is only the beginning. its time to be better than our best!
Happy New Year!
What’s good everyone!
Just wanted to give you a shout, as the holiday season is upon us! I wanted to wish everyone a safe and prosperous holiday season. Don’t break your pockets trying to satify people with material gifts. Make sure it comes from the heart and it’s thoughtful!
I’m gonna be scarce from Streetztalk for a few days, but I’ll have a post on Monday and Tuesday fa sho.
Monday i’ll give my final Health and Fitness blog of 2009. I’ll reflect for a few and see where I’m going in 2010
Tuesday we’ll talk aspirations for 2010 in general
Happy I started P90X once again. Its so rigorous, but the rush I feel afterwards is all worth it. i stopped for a few months, but hopefully the muscle memory and smart eating will help me get in shape quick! We’ll see.
I keep gettin stys in my effin eye! Its getting annoying, I keep looking like I lost a UFC fight, lol. Annoying but I guess it could be worse, right? Anyone got remedies or theories let me know.
One of my peoples is moving to NC. Damn where does the time go?! Enjoy every day on this Earth, because all of these 2009 deaths make me live life fully DAILY!
That’s all everyone. continue to support the kid on singleblackmale.net and thefoxxfiles.com!
Peace

what’s good people?
So I decided to start this S.N.I. up again. I realize I haven’t been posting here frequently, and I apoligize. I’ve been a little busy, so Let me bring you up to speed:
1) New Sites - I’m a main contributor over at The Foxx Files, a new online magazine that’s about to change thegame. Started by my dude Chris Foxx, we’re about to take the game to another level on these internets! We just launched a week ago, so check us out!
2) Building the SBM brand – You know I also write for Single Black Male every Wednesday. We still keep the party goin on that side! We got recognized for a Black WeblogAward (both judges and popular vote) which is awesome! I see great things in our future!
3) Life - Yea man I’m kickin excuses. Work has picked up immensly, and I don’t usually have time to post things here. I usually post randomness or write up editorials, but between my other sites and twitter, I get those points across. I have neglected the site due to the million other things going on in my life and it is a factor
4) Direction - This is where you can help me. I’m trying to find a more focused voice for this site. I kinda see what Drake does with his site, and I think its cool how they’ll have a post here or there, but it’ll pertain directly or indrectly to Drake or the things that he or his team enjoys. I’m still going to do the workout logs (I wont lie, #3 has slowed down my workout regimen so those posts slowed down too), but I wanted to just have a different direction with this site.
That’s a brief overview of the difficulties of posting here, no onto some other difficulties, hahaha!
Motivation to workout is waning as usual during the cold months. How do you guys maintain the focus to continue to work out? What’s your motivation? I plan a 12 month no excuses workout schedule for 2010 and I’m going to hold myself to it! I need your help and motivation too though. Let’s help each other out as usual!
So aside from the workout logs, what else do you want to see here? More personal accounts? The randomeness? Let me know!
Enjoy one of my favorite tv show theme songs ever, as I ponder on more material for this site, lol. Also I call this spellcheck not included because I type this freehand and may not pickup every error. True organic thinking. SALUD!

So I’ve ended my trial run of P90X, but haven’t truly completed. I’m one to go hard when it comes to working out, and due to injury, trips, unexpected work load, etc, my October was pretty much a wash. Day’s 1-60 showed me a great body change and I’m proud of the results! I always said I was going to do this program twice and starting Next week its back to day 1! Im looking to start off 2010 in the best shape of my life, and as always I have goals to attain in order to make this round as successful as possible:
Stay Healthy – I an’t become the Grant Hill of this workout game, so I gotta try to stay injury free. My injuries usually are freak accidents and nagging colds, so I’ll be as careful. Also this time around unless something is broken or tore, I’m going to fight through the injuries because I can’t let them derail me gain
Follow the P90X meal plan – I followed my own and got great results, but I want to try theirs out to get the complete experience. Why not? The first 30 days is when you’re supposed to lose the most weight, so I’m looking forward to it. Although I don’t want to lose massive weight, I want to hover within a certain range.
Lift for size and not lean muscle – On the same token, I don’t need to “be lean” as I already have good body composition. This time around, I will lift for muscle gain. Should be a great combination!
Remain active 7 day a week – No off days this time around. i want to accomplish some form of exercize every day. We got goals to reach!!
Take more measurements to gauge progress – I want to measure my biceps, waists, chest, and take more physical measurements. This way, I can accurately see where my gains/losses occur and get the full spectrum on this program.
Write my fitness goals and study them – Tom Venuto wrote a great book “Burn the fat, Feed the muscle’ which first hlped me get into shape. one of his tips is writing goals to constantly keep them on your mind. You wouldn’t believe the kind of focus this builds! I want to get back to that level of determination X Actions to = results.
These are some of my goals. If you got any other tips for me to keep focus let me know! Shotuout to my dude @horaceainthere for restarting the program with me. We’ll be one week apart, so it’s gonna be great!
Work hard, work smart, and get focused! It’s gonna be a cold winter!
