Not Important enough to be categorized.
My favorite rapper from when I was a teen/early twenties was DMX. I actually met him once in a club in Lake George, NY once. It was breif, but it was back when I hanged with a click who constantly was listening to the Ruff Ryders Anthem.
One of my favorite current day rappers is defnitely MGK. Check this out:

Just a quick notice that for the rest of this week, I will be working mainly on branding myself into the High Rise Mind label. I will be making changes in the appearance of my site, that will remain permanent through my future.
I want to be able to have people recognize certain colors, looks, logos, etc with my name.. Brett Patrick Gibson a.k.a The High Rise Mind.
By the end of the week these changes will be final.
I will continue posting NEW MUSIC, but not as much blogs or poetry.
The first change you will see is the look of this website, along with a new logo, and color scheme.
Thanks for your patience,
Brett Patrick

The Power of The Law of Attraction
The earth has a North and a South Pole. Everything about the rotation and existence of this planet is based on energy and a magnetic force. Like attracts Like. Bad people tend to surround themselves around bad things. Good feelings attract other good feelings.
IE. If you always feel that someone is watching you, and they are only because you FEEL that they are. It actually doesn’t matter if they are or not. Literally and in the lateral sense, whether they are or not should NOT matter to you. Because it seems they are, and you FEEL it on every level of your being, then it is REAL. You can change the FEEL of your inner self.. to mold your UNIVERSE into what you see in your dreams.
“All I am is my thought, and my next move. I think I’m about to live.”
THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS that you are having and feeling at this very moment have the POWER to change your fate. Once you have FAITH in the process, it will be your GRATITUDE for accepting those things that you dreamed into reality which allows it to be a consistent flow in your life. If you choose the flow to FEEL good, it will. If you allow negativity to control how you FEEL… your FLOW will be exactly what you intended it to be. Everything that your current residual stands for, is only the product of what you have felt and thought of in the past. If you can learn to control your thoughts, and especially your feelings, you will have the POWER to create your own reality.
Technically, you have been using the law of attraction already. It is forever working. If you don’t like the position you are in currently, maybe you should take a step back and take a look at what has led you to where you are. Did you deserve every thing that as happened, good or bad? Maybe not, but could have you changed the outcome based on your feelings?
THOUGHTS + FEELINGS = POWER
GRATITUDE + FAITH = LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Imagine plugging your computer into the wall and turning it on. It can’t put its thoughts into action without electricity. Just like you can’t start writing until you choose to pick up the pen, or start pressing all these tiny white keys.
“Computer is to Thoughts, as Electricity is to Feelings. “
Signs Along My Path
Signs are directing me down every road. For the record, I don’t have a GPS. I tend to find my way just fine. Interpretation of these signs is like being given a map with a star on the destination, yet most of the roads between where you are, and where you want to be have faded in time, and it seems the map is becoming more and more difficult to read as time moves on. Maybe its all the wear and tear sitting my pocket all this time. I mean, after all, I am thirty-four years old.
The signs are everywhere. I look to my left, and see a stop sign, then look to my right, and see a checklist. I look up, and see a bunch of tiny holes, that if I took the time to connect the dots, probably have the secret to life. I look down, and my floor at my desk seems to need a cleaning.
Signs aren’t always stuck in the ground, or hanging for you to see. More than not, they are subliminal, and always there.
“It’s not about the life we were born into, or the place you stand.
It is, however, about what you do with the life given to you, and the place you aim to be.”
- Joseph St. Jean
My brother, an elder at twenty-two years old, makes a lot of sense, some of the time. He understands more so than I do about what is important and what is not. I tend to get caught up in emotion, and feelings, to the point that I have had problems controlling the two.
CONTROL + WISDOM = PEACE
I know my purpose. I know what the higher power had intended for me. My job is to FEEL that purpose in every inch of my body. It’s not as easy as I make it sound. With all the distractions on this planet, it is almost impossible to control every thought, every feeling. ALMOST!
When you begin to pay attention to the signs, and follow your heart, you need to also pay attention to the signs inside your own head, heart and soul. Everything has purpose. Everything has FLOW. Its a part of this HUGE thing called the UNIVERSE.
When something negative happens.. death, pain, abuse, break-ups, arguments, disagreements, etc.. the plan would be to find a way.. a trigger inside to change your MOOD or FEELINGS, even though your reality has been tarnished in a moment that you may have not been able to control, it is ON YOU to control how you FEEL. Find peace inside. Seek a trigger that allows you to flip a switch, so to speak, in order to keep your MOOD/FEELINGS on a positive side. Think about those goals, or things you are chasing.. dreams.. will be reality.
This is a forever going truth. The realest part of life isn’t existing, but living. loving. connecting to others, within this energy.. this magnetic force.

Dear Mother Nature,
I was thinking about you again this morning. It has been a long time since I took the time to get in touch with you. Life’s been kind of crazy lately. I noticed you have been trying to get through to me, to us, a lot more than usual recently, and I want to apologize for ignoring your calls.
I know that you are upset with me, with us, and are starting to really show it, but angry doesn’t look good on you. You look much better in sunsets, pink skies, and fluffy clouds.. These tornadoes, snow storms in October, and earthquakes aren’t quite fitting to you’re true personality. I’m pretty sure you know that two wrongs don’t make a right. You are Mother Nature after all.
How it must feel to watch us take advantage of your kindness and generosity like this I would never truly understand or be able to comprehend how it feels, especially while you give all of yourself and get nothing in return. I am very grateful for all you have given me while I have been on your back… through the good and the bad.. so I want to make you a few promises.. and maybe in return you can chill on all the natural disasters.. please..
I promise to talk to the others.. maybe figure something out we can do to settle this debt which we have accumulated over the course of a few thousand years ( or is it centuries.. ehh who’s counting..?) I know we have used a lot more of you than given back, and its really gotta hurt when we cut you open without asking. Sorry about the burning trees, smog and all this energy we waste all over your body without even asking.
I promise… to be more respectful.. maybe we can come to an accord. I know it has to be hard to take MY word for it right now, after all the sins, and all the pain I have caused other humans.. but is it too late
I promise… to find a way to be an important part in the change.. in making EARTH a place worth living. (not that you’re not a real charmer to be sitting on right now..)
I promise… to follow my heart, and know that if I do, that others will begin to as well, and maybe one day you will find room in YOUR HEART, deep inside the core of the earth.. where you fire burns strong.. to forgive us. And maybe we can work together, to make this world a more peaceful, and clean place to live.
Is it too late?
With Love & Thanks..
Brett P Gibson

PS – Happy Birthday Mom..! & Happy Frozen Halloween to everyone else!!!
This has been my favorite poem (by someone else) for as long as I can remember. My mother gave me this book of various poems by many different writers when I was a child. Somehow this one stuck out:
What Any Lover Learns
Water is heavy silver over stone.
Water is heavy silver over stone’s
Refusal. It does not fall. It fills. It flows
Every crevice, every fault of the stone,
Every hollow. River does not run.
River pressed its heavy silver self
Down into stone, and stone refuses.
What runs,
Swirling and leaping into sun, is stone’s
Refusal of the river, not the river.
- Archibald MacLeish, Collected Poems 1917-1952
INTERPRETATION & EXAMPLE:
River: My Love for her.
Stone: Her.
Her Love for me: The splash of river, rising to the sun.
The river is my love, while the stone is her.
My love will never run.. never ever go dry..
no matter how many stones I pass..
I will never let this river dry up
because I have too much of me to give.
The stone may not be ready for me
the right stone..
But I will always..
always be ready for her.
