Thank you,https://aguycalledbloke.blog/! I appreciate the nomination a lot.

My wish is that I impact another in a positive way!


The Awesome Impact Award was created by Da Rad Gamer.


For me, an incident that impacted my life was when I won a singing competition and was offered my own cd and a chance to be on the Grand Ole Opry. I was in my twenties and I was singing a Mariah Carey song for my audition.

That moment in time, in my life, made such an impact on my self esteem. It was the thing I needed to have in my life, at that particular time.

I was going through so much personal turmoil from my family back then, it encouraged me to believe in myself, even when others might not.

Nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award

THANK YOU , http://isaiah46ministries.wordpress.com/, I enjoy your blog, and appreciate being nominated.

The rules of the award:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.

2. Write a post to show your award.

3. Give a brief story of how your blog started.

4. Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.

5. Select 15 or more bloggers for the award.

6. Let each nominee know that you’ve nominated them and leave a link to your post



My blog started as some may already know, to get the word out about my self published books of poetry. I have to admit I am not a professional editor or publisher but I tried.

I now do this blog, and have made it into my own webpage. I love doing it, and I love sharing things I know or find out, as well as my poems, my stories, and my thoughts.

I hope in doing so someone out there might identify or feel enpowered or just not feel alone. Maybe learn something new is always a good thing, hopefully my posts do that as well.


Two pieces of advice to new bloggers…

-WRITE what you want. Do not copy anyone, be your own person. Those that appreciate that will continue reading your stuff.

-Proofread your work. We all make errors, it is just that way sometimes. To increase followings and such you should use proper grammar and spelling.



I cannot nominate 15 or more bloggers, but I would encourage those who want to, to write as if you were personally nominated by myself for this award. You can ping it back to me and link my post here.

Thanks guys for reading and supporting me.

McHammer, U Can’t Touch This/Music Share

LOVE THIS, it was great back in the day! Enjoy!

 


Lyrics

You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this

My, my, my my music hits me so hard
Makes me say, “Oh my Lord”
Thank you for blessin’ me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good, when you know you’re down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I’m known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can’t touch

I told you homeboy (You can’t touch this)
Yeah, that’s how we livin’ and ya know (You can’t touch this)
Look in my eyes, man (You can’t touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can’t touch this)

Fresh new kicks, and pants
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move outta yo seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it’s rollin’, hold on!
Pump a little bit and let ’em know it’s goin’ on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission, so fall on back
Let ’em know, that you’re too much
And this is a beat, uh, they can’t touch

Yo, I told you (you can’t touch this)
Why you standin’ there, man? (You can’t touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school’s in, sucka (You can’t touch this)

Give me a song, or rhythm
Makin’ ’em sweat, that’s what I’m givin’ ’em
Now, they know
You talkin’ ’bout the Hammer, you’re talkin’ ’bout a show
That’s hyped, and tight
Singers are sweatin’, so pass them a wipe
Or a tape, to learn
What’s it gonna take in the 90’s to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That’s word because you know (You can’t touch this)
(You can’t touch this)
Break it down!

Stop, Hammer time!

Go with the flow, it is said
That if you can’t groove to this then you probably are dead
So wave yo hands in the air
Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair
This is it, for a winner
Dance to this and you’re gonna get thinner
Move, slide your rump
Just for a minute let’s all do the bump
(Bump, bump, bump)

Yeah (You can’t touch this)
Look, man (You can’t touch this)
You better get hype, boy, ’cause you know you can’t (You can’t touch this)
Ring the bell, school’s back in
Break it down!

Stop, Hammer time!

You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this
Break it down!

Stop, Hammer time!

Every time you see me, the Hammer’s just so hyped
I’m dope on the floor and I’m magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doin’ this?
With others makin’ records that just don’t hit
I’ve toured around the world, from London to the Bay
It’s “Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer”
And the rest can go and play
You can’t touch this

You can’t touch this
You can’t touch this
Yeah (You can’t touch this)
I told you (Can’t touch this)
Too hot (Can’t touch this)
Yo, we outta here (Can’t touch this)

3 reasons not to weigh…/Information Share

3 Major Reasons Not to Weigh Yourself Everyday

Article posted in: Lifestyle

The temptation to incessantly step on the scale makes sense, when losing weight is top of mind: You’re eating healthier, moving more throughout the day and maybe need to justify your hard work so you’ll stay motivated. We get why you do it, but if you weigh yourself every day, stop now. This could be the best advice for weight loss you’ve ever heard.

Here are three major reasons not to weigh yourself everyday:

1. Daily weigh-ins don’t accurately indicate weight loss.

Not only can the number on that scale fluctuate from day to day, but it may even swing between morning and night—and that is perfectly normal. “People think they’re gaining fat when they see (their weight) creep up a bit, but that’s not always the case,” says Chelsea Lovell, weight loss counselor at Nutrisystem. Lovell explains that water retention is one of the main reasons weight fluctuates. High sodium intake, for example, may cause your body to retain more fluid. Women may also put on water weight during their menstrual cycle, she adds. So, hormones may tip the scale just like the size of a meal.

2. Fluctuating numbers can mess with your mindset.

It can be discouraging to see the scale go up and down, according to Lovell—no matter how many times you tell yourself its normal. Experts at the Mayo Clinic relay that the scale’s disappointing news can be particularly frustrating when you try to eat right and exercise. This event might send you straight for the nearest comfort food. And because most people should aim to lose one to two pounds per week, you’re not going to see a big loss when you step on that scale daily.

3. The scale isn’t the only measure of your success.

Yes, the scale is the best tool to quantify your weight, and when paired with body measurements, for example, it can be a good way to track your progress. “But there are many victories to pay attention to off the scale,” says Lovell—clothing fit, energy levels, better skin, overall health improvements, and more. The true happiness associated with losing weight is outside of the numbers anyway, tied to these life-enhancing benefits.
