Remember RIF? Reading Is Fundamental?! I used to looooooovvvvve RIF!!!! LIke I can't tell you how many Boxcar Children books I had because I probably had them all. I didn't get RIF until I moved to Grand Rapids from Detroit, and from there, I took advantage of RIF and of reading as a whole!! Like I tried to read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea when I was in 5th grade!! I read it all, but I didn't fully understand it.. I mean I was 10 years old!! I always enjoyed reading though. Now I have hollowed out 20,000 Leagues and I keep unmarked five dollar bills in it!! Jokes of course. When I began writing this, I really remembered how excited I would be twice a year in elementary school to go partake in RIF!!
That same excitement is the same passion I show within our Reality Rap Friday event so for the rest of this week, I'm moving on the accord that Reality Rap IS Friday!! because it is. That's my mantra for the week. Anytime I get stressed with the powers that be, I will be telling myself "Reality Rap IS Friday". What's a mantra you ask? Well it basically equates to something you tell or chant to yourself to pull you through a tough situation or rough spot you are having. Mine is typically "Praying for progress, expecting success, accepting nothing less than to be blessed in my quest for success." Please use that to cope with your boss being a jerk, your boyfriend stressing you because he wants to play X-Box all day (peace to all the online gamers out there!!) or if your girlfriend is stressing you because she talks too much, or if your mom is stressing telling you its time to move out the penthouse!! Trust indeed..I WISH I STILL LIVED IN THE PENTHOUSE ON TOP OF MY MOMS CRIB!!!! But the estates are pretty cool too...we got Mahi Mahi there...which means "strong strong." I love to read. So please, by all means use my main mantra mechanism to cope with your week by simply saying "Praying for progress, expecting success, accepting nothing less than to be blessed in my quest for success." But if you take it to print, Mr. Barnwell might have to come see you. It'll either be my lawyer, or the muscle. How about for this week, "Reality Rap IS Friday" "Reality Rap IS Friday" "Reality Rap IS Friday" "Reality Rap IS Friday". Or if you just can't even get that much time to calm yourself, RRIF....RRIF...RRIF
