“Sick Leave” - Thursday, March 23, 2023, 1:50 PM

Let me take this time to remind the universe that real people have layers.

I've come back from the future to share some brand new flavors. Way before I became neighbors with the Lakers, I told the world it wasn't doing me any favors.

Don't ever play yourself, every opportunity I’ve received was preordained from my maker. I'm grateful for all the instruments you supplied, but please know you're not pulling the strings.

I thought seeing was believing until I watched scribes close their eyes and pray for my demise, wishing they didn't witness exactly what I said would materialize.

I'm sure it hurts, but deep down I know they're grateful, because even my enemies know they still got a plateful at my table.

True story.

I spend most of my time looking too good to be true, while embodying greatness. How do you inspire confidence when even loved ones try to take it? How do you jump fresh when they want you to be naked?

Find God.

That's what Ye said, but this what Dave said.

I'm from Texas but you would think I'm from the “Show Me” state, because my favorite thing to do is to sit back and wait. Who’s consistent, who's quality, and who's going to do what it takes? Who knows the difference between a lion and a snake?

I put myself out there and laugh in the face of danger, knowing good and well I've never met a stranger and heaven has all the answers.

I don't beg people to stand next to me, but I do ask plenty to get out of the way. Since you invited yourself to speak while I was away, what exactly do you have to say?
