Food for your soul.....

This was sent to me by my girl Yella......

Ill be back next week with another tell of ass, game, bitches, and keeping it real for you baby....Breezy


Welcome fellow sojourners to this ‘cool’ reprieve (from work, school, and other boring bull that is sometimes called life), that is youngbreezy.com… my name is Yella, Yellabud. I’ve stopped by today to share some simple truths with you; consider it a little ‘health’ food amongst the juicy morsels of politics, sex, the game, spirituality, and other goodies you often find here. In the course of your life, you will know someone, or perhaps it will be you, that needs some type of emergency care. Whether it’s banging up your knee badly while hoopin, an incident at your home/work, or a car accident, it’s a pretty safe bet that first aid/safety will be an issue. Here are a few things everyone should know.
Everyone should take out the time (it normally takes like a Saturday to do) to get certified in CPR and First Aid. The chances of an incident (heart attack, cardiac arrest, etc.) becoming deadly are drastically decreased if the people around the victim know these techniques. No one is asking you to be an EMT, but you’d be surprised the little things you’ve picked up along the way that are WRONG. Maybe you’ve heard that when someone has a seizure that you should restrain the person, or put something down their throat so that they won’t swallow their tongue. That’s incorrect, folks. Besides making sure that they are in a place where they won’t cause damage to themselves or others (near sharp corners/objects) and have room to move, you shouldn’t really do anything to the person. While a person is seizing, there isn’t anything you can do for them outside of calling for help and getting their meds, should they be around. Here are two other common myths… 1. When you get a burn, put butter, Vaseline, oil, ointments, etc., on it. You’re not slowing down the burning, but rather accelerating it, so PLEASE refrain from doing this! Rather, rinse the area (if it’s a small burn) with cool (not freezing) water for twenty minutes and cover lightly with clean gauze or cloth until the burn can be treated by a health care provider. 2. You should tilt your head back when experiencing a nosebleed. While the blood may stop flowing out of your nose, it’s also stopped flowing to your brain (at least efficiently); this can cause the person to pass out. Instead, lean the head forward, get gauze or a clean cloth and pinch both sides of the bridge of the nose until the bleeding stops. You should call for medical assistance if the bleeding continues for longer than fifteen (15) minutes. There are many other myths I could address, and if times permits again, I will discuss them (when Breezy sees fit).
Moving on to another topic of import; heart conditions. Heart disease is among one of the top three killers of Americans, particularly African Americans. Diet and exercise are the number one prevention tools, followed by medication, but I’d have to say knowledge is paramount, as well. Here are some things you should know about heart attacks, cardiac arrest, and strokes. If you didn’t catch it just from how the previous sentence was phrased, there are some major differences in those three events. Here are some quick definitions… a heart attack is when one or more major vessels of the heart have a blockage, which leads to death of the tissue surrounding the blockage and preceding onward (b/c these areas beyond the blockage aren’t receiving nutrients via the blood). A cardiac arrest is when the heart ceases beating, for any number of reasons. A stroke is defined as when a blockage travels into the vessel network in the brain and, like the heart attack, tissue begins to die. While all can be and are life-threatening events, they have different signs and safety measures that should be followed. With heart attacks, the person will often be sweaty, be nauseous, complain of a crushing sensation in the chest, or pain in the abdomen, down the arm, the neck, or the back, between the shoulders. They also will deny needing anything other than a minute to rest and possibly an antacid (they think they have heartburn). At any point, the person may lose consciousness and if they stop breathing, CPR should be initiated. Have the person sit down and try to relax and call for EMS, immediately. In the case of a cardiac arrest, the person will normally lose consciousness, whether that lasts for a moment or for a long period of time. In this case, after checking for breathing, help should be called for immediately and someone begin CPR. If you know nothing else, performing the chest compressions are the most important. The American Heart Association has changed the breaths to chest compression ratio from 2 (breaths) to 15 (chest compressions) to 2 to 30. This is because it is more important to get blood circulating than the oxygen flow, at least in the beginning. When a person collapses, unless choking, they usually have enough oxygen in the blood to get by, but if the blood isn’t flowing to the brain, vital organs, what good is that? How do you do the compressions? Glad you asked! Place the heel (the bottom of the hand, palm down, near the wrist) on the center of the chest, just around/below the nipple line. Place the other hand on top of the already positioned hand, and lock out your elbows (keep them straight). For adults, press down into the chest about an inch and a half to two inches and thrust quickly. For children, press about an inch. If the child is small/frail, use just one hand. For infants, use two fingers (the ring and middle fingers), rather than your whole hand. Everyone gets the same amount of compressions (30 compressions followed by 2 breaths).
So anyway, start CPR and if an AED (automatic external defibrillator) is available, use that, ASAP. Even if you’ve never used one before, they are pretty simple to operate, just remember to turn that joint on. J The machine has voice prompts and it’ll tell you what to do every step of the way. Lastly, let’s talk about signs a person is having a stroke. There’s a very simple way to determine if a person is experiencing a stroke, versus having a heart attack. There are lots of acronyms you could use, but here’s an easy one… remember the first three letters of the word, stroke.
S- smile
T- talk
R-raise arms
O
K
E
Ask the person in question to smile for you, talk, and raise one or both of their arms. If they are unable to perform these tasks, they are very likely experiencing the beginnings of a stroke. Have the person sit down, remove any tight/constraining clothing and call for help immediately. In cases of stroke, if the person can get medical attention within the hour, almost all of the damage that was caused can be reversed. Additionally, in cases where people have an episode (heart attack, choking, etc.) and CPR is administered, their chances of survival increase into the 90th percentile. The Bible says, and it’s quite true, that our people perish for a lack of knowledge. I would be amiss to know this information and not share it with all that are in my scope to do so. Many may already know this stuff, but if this reaches just one person who didn’t know, I feel like it’s been worth my time. That one person could be the one to save your life or the life of a loved one.
Until next time, be easy, cut down on the grease, and know that your belly isn’t the only thing that needs nourishment. Feed your mind through conversation, education, and all other types of worthwhile exercise. Be blessed.

The Next Edition: By Black Soprano

You have to understand something about this life. There are people out here that will kill you……I really want you to understand that. There are people that will murder you in your sleep and fuck your wife in the bloody bed in which you lay. There are people that have made a commitment to never live one day of their life with less than $10,000 at arms reach. These are people that make jokes out of terrible things including what they did to the body. They only take seconds off never a day, that is too much time not to be on your grind. They have horrible sleeping habbits. They always go to church but they dont listen when they get there. They have groups of friends that hardly see each other but they are as close as brothers. And if they ask someone in another group to take care of something for them it will happen. There are people in this world that live better than you and they always will. You cannot fuck with everybody. Because there are people that will kill you right where you stand and from there go home and play with their children. All that matters is money nothing else. If it is not more money for the family then fuck it and everything about it. If it does not put more money in garbage bags under the fake panel in the floor…. fuck it. You see America is the greatest country in the world if you can afford it. Why did I say all this shit? To save the life of someone who has no idea. Don’t let your pride be the last thing you are remembered by. Then again it's your life if you want to go hard then do so. But oneday you will run accross what many call the wrong muthafucka at the wrong muthafucking time. Trust me if you keep looking for em you will meet them one day. I got a email from Black Soprano he wishes to give you a little more game. I hope you enjoy if not fuck it......... I did.


The next edition . . . . . ."It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you - without a strongrhyme to step to......" - Rakim

What's up niggas and niggettes. Pull up a chair and peep some damngame. It's your boy, Soprano - as Breezy calls me or Raynathan Skuggsas L.A. calls me or even Kevlar Moneyclips, which is one of mypersonal favorites - or as always Big Sexy The Giant Killer.Let's begin where the fuck we left off. Let me address some commentsto my last commentary.First up, some nigga/niggette typed this:

I have seen all of you no good bastards around Jackson. Fuck all you niggas Posted by Anonymous 3:49 PM

My haters are my motivators. Yes, we are no good. Yes, we are bastards. Yes, we are around Jackson. But fuck all of us? Come on. Don't be like that. Why be a brick around all this water of game and be happy sinking you ragged ass to the bottom of the ocean of pimp shit? Be a fucking sponge on this shit. Make like a mop and soak this shit up, Damn.
Secondly, this lame shit:
Breezy if that what you choose to be known as you really need to find better role models. Posted by Anonymous 3:50 PM

I detest this type of shit. A motherfucker wants to criticize the play called, but offers no fucking suggestion of an alternative in the huddle. Better role models? If we are what Breezy wants to be, and we are...., what fucking better role models can he have? You? Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Name me a better role model for a young pimp likeBreezy, than and old pimp like his Uncle L and various other Knights of Niggadom. Role model these nutts.

Up third, these props: It is cool that all of you guys are street dudes but you are really working to make something positive of yourselves. Young Breezy I think your a real talented cat and I hope you go far that was som pimp shit giving props to your Uncle L for that game he gave you Posted by Anonymous 3:53 PM
Bravo, nigga. Bravo. Damn. Look at this shit and learn younglings. Ain't nothing wrong with giving props - especially when props is due.The Bible tells you to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Shit.

Last and most certainly least, this nigga:There is no fucking way yall do half of the shit you be talking about somebody would have killed you by now there is no way. Posted by Anonymous 3:53 PM

Somebody pass me a #2 pencil, cause this nigga is trying to test me!Are you an ass? Do you know who the fuck I am? Do you know who the fuck we are? What would really blow your damn mind is the shit we cannot write about. Nigga like you celebrate kicking it in for a weekend in Houston - nigga we kick it for a week in the foreign countries. You thinking we don't do have the shit we talk about, nigga we don't talk about have the shit we do! Nigga, you don't have to post a comment, just because commenting is anoption. Matter fact, nigga, you don't have to read this shit or even visit the fucking world wide web - let alone Breezy's shit. But you come here seeking to have your cup runneth over. Nigga, turn from your player hating ways, humble yourself and soak this shit up. Now with that done, let's move on to today's Funkin Lesson

(you niggas ain't ol'skool - that's some X-Klan shit - google 'em nigga - I ain't got time to teach you ere'thang and typing is a bitch). Today's Lesson:Don't Go Looking For What You Don't Want To Find or Don't AskQuestions if You Can't Handle The Damn Answer. I was motivated on this topic by Breezy's cheating commentary. Be ye male or female, peep game.",

It ain't necessary to try and find out, let alone find out, if your bitch or nigga is cheating. What you need to do is try and find out if your bitch or nigga is making you happy....(Note from Breezy"they will not be able to handle this but the Black Babe Ruth is giving it to them).....If you happy - content, pleased, satisfied, etc - what the fuck does it matter. If you not happy - disgruntled, left hanging, hungry, etc - move the fuck on and find a motherfucker that gets you off in the areas you need to get off in. Everybody is a pimp and everybody is a hoe (niggas like us are just pimps more times than not - but crawl before you walk - don't try to be like us just yet).

Even if a motherfucker thinking they pimping you - if you getting what you want and need - so what - act like ahappy hoe.

Bitch: I don't want a man that's gone cheat on me. He gotta be with me and only me.You are a stupid bitch. Worse, you are a stupid lonely bitch. Such a man does not exist. You can make him happy as a hog in slop and he still gone roll around in some other mud.

Nigga: Shiiiiiit, my bitch would never cheat on me. I got her ass sprung. She love a nigga dirty draws! You's a dumb nigga. A bitch can play you like you can never play her. Pussy is much easier to give away than dick is. Don't sleep. You setting yourself up for one of them homicide/suicide crimescenes. A bitch will give that pussy up just like you will give that dick up. Just know, it does not matter. As Breezy says, wrap that dick up or bitches, make that nigga wrap that dick up and be happy. As long as your getting your fill, why worry about some cheat shit. Everything is everything, what will be will be. Damn, even LaurynHill tried to tell you niggas that shit - and that bitch is crazy!
Until next time . . . . . . .


I cant wait to see what them haters gonna say this time
