New!

For the past two years, my career has been up and down, trial after trial, excuse after excuse, lesson after lesson, failure after failure, flight after flight, the list goes on for miles.  I remember times being in a foreign country broke, with no money, no place to sleep, no food, lost and somehow a way was always provided. Last week I signed a contract with Fc Haka, one of the biggest football clubs in Finland, with an amazing history, a club of prestige and success, the club that agreed terms with me, and has given me a place to display my talents to the world, and be a part of their family.  The stress and doubts before signing the contract began to manifest, because the wait has been soooooooo long, the journey has been so blurred, with many unknown situations, many people promising opportunities they couldn't deliver, many false words, a lot of emptiness.  Prior to coming back to Finland, I was in England, and a friend of mines told me to "let go" of the situation, stop trying to control everything, that there was a bigger force than me, a greater power than you and I, that will bring forth the things I wished for when the time is right.  Now I am here, an Fc Haka player! When signing the contract, a weight off of my shoulders disappeared, the focus instantly changed, my visions got brighter, my goals seemed reachable, it's time, my time!  The funniest thing about this opportunity, is that it fits perfectly with my values and morals as a man, this club is everything I represent, and is the perfect place to go after these goals I have, both as an individual and with my team. I am forever grateful!!!!  I'll leave you with this; have faith in what you desire in life, despite your physical circumstance, everything will manifest in the correct time. God, the universe, is perfection, what you need, at the correct time will be provided in order to propel you forward, have faith/belief in your journey.  #Blackspyder #positivevibrations #FcHaka #Glory2God

Twenty7

Wow Wow Wow, haha it is an absolute joy to be here, at this age in life, time waits for no man lol. The past twenty four hours for me have been very good, amongst the company of great people, in a good head space, and in good spirits, my twenty seventh birthday has been very positive and relaxing. I had a long day to do some reflecting, whether it was going for a walk by the water, or in my hotel room working on some projects I have planned, watching football, listening to music, a few thoughts were constantly on my mind, maybe it comes with age :)  The thought that really stood out to me was the fact that so much has happened in my life, and the lessons I have learned, money, and love. I am at a point in my life where I am seeking a sense of stability in everything I do, from my football career to my relationships, down to even my thoughts.  If anything in my life at this point seems shaky or unsure, I do not want to be involved with it. I think its mainly because the past few years have been up and down, a lot of risk being taken, a lot of trials and tribulations, a lot of loss, it's time to win.  I am so blessed to make it to this age, my cousin Omari Chambers, who I refer to as my brother, was born on April 10th, 1988, two days before me. So every year since the day we were born we celebrated our birthdays together, but unfortunately he isn't here in the physical, he passed away three years ago.  For this very reason, around this time of year, I do a lot of reflecting and give nothing but thanks for being alive today, and doing what I love in life. I am forever grateful.  So twenty seven has been an eye opener, another blessing, beauty! Thank you all for the kind words and love you expressed on this day.  #blackspyder #27 #bigman #primetime

Long Weekend, Miles away.

Happy Easter, hope you had a wonderful weekend.

My Easter weekend was pretty quiet, and I got to experience the Finnish culture a bit, with certain foods they eat during this holiday, very different from my regular Bun and cheese, and fried fish Easter weekend lol.  I had a chance to experience a desert dish by the name of Mammi. It honestly doesn't look so appealing to the eye, but I can say it tastes better than it looks, very sweet, but bitter at the same time, served with cream. It's funny when experiencing something new, I always put up a barrier because it is not what I am used to, it is something I have never seen or experienced before, but at the end of the day, I always give it a try, that's just my personality, why not?  Once again during this year easter was spent online with my family who never fails to come through and link up someway somehow to celebrate the holiday, for us its a Skype call, or Facetime call.  Even though we are miles away the love and joy is still shared, it makes me appreciate family and true friends.  The hardest thing for me has been getting people I love to understand the magnitude of what I am trying to do, and the example I am trying to set for the generations to come, it's hard to get them to see past the distance, and see the greater picture, its about expanding the limitations to which we think. During this weekend I had time to reflect and think about what it is I want to achieve, and the message I want to vibrate around the world. That message is, to dream, to believe and have faith in what you desire, many different things will happen along the way, many things to distract you, one day things will be great, one day things will be not so great, but there is a flow to the universe that we must be conscious to, there is a common language that we all speak, things grow and die, things go up and come down, there is a flow, we are a part of that flow. So never stop pursuing your vision, it may not be what you want it to be now, but there will be a time to come when things are exactly the way you want them to be, anything is possible.  We were made in the image and likeness of God. Happy Easter to all!
