Fear the Silence of Savages
When it comes to running a blog and promoting the lifestyle its a complete balance, but often the scales tip and people wonder whether we flopped or we are going through something internally. I say to those who wonder beware of the silence. The silence shows internal growth. When balance of progress and documentation is thrown off one will overtake the other for the time being. Usually its the progression that picks up. We can't sit here and attempt to motivate and build up others if our lives are at a standstill. People wont trust what we say or even want to hear our voices. Common sense says your more likely to take advice on fitness from a guy who looks in shape rather than the fat man munching on burger king in a personal trainer t-shirt. What gives this guy the right to properly address the subject of health. The other guy might have sacrificed his health to study the health of others, who knows? It is human nature to trust in buddy with the six pack. His six pack is somewhat of a testament to living the lifestyle. For this natural preference we cannot blog about success unless we are achieving it.

The silence should be feared because that means we are on our grind. The problem with people nowadays is they are too busy concentrating on the moves of others instead of making their own moves. When we speaking and writing it puts a damper on our movement. When we seem to go ghost that's when the pace picks up. That's when thoughts get chopped up and real work takes place. So i'm saying pipe down out there, let the streets sleep on you for a bit. Let them count you out cause your not on frontstreet, but just know the real maneuvering is taking place on them back roads. So everyone please remember real G's don't hustle to be seen, they grind so they can disappear. So if I don't hear from you after this post i'm going to think your out there grinding hard to solidify a beautiful future for you and yours. This post was written with my brodee in mind. Hadn't spoken with him before I left Florida but I knew he was riding round gettin it.
He sent me these pics today with the text "Civilized Savages Stand UP" and all I could think was "Thug Motivation"(inside joke). To all Civilized Savages consider the bar raised....

What is The Polar Vortex?
THE POLAR VORTEX HAS BECOME PART OF THE NATION'S VOCABULARY OVER THE LAST YEAR, BUT ITS NOT NEW TO METEOROLOGISTS, NOR IS IT UNUSUAL. THE POLAR VORTEX IS A POCKET OF EXCEPTIONALLY COLD AIR THAT EXTENDS FROM THE SURFACE INTO THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE.SURROUNDED BY THE ARCTIC JETSTREAM, THE POLAR VORTEX GETS WEAKER IN THE SUMMER, AND STRONGER IN THE WINTER. SOMETIMES, THE POLAR VORTEX CAN GET KNOCKED SOUTH, AND A PIECE CAN DROP INTO CANADA. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.VERY RARELY DOES THE CORE OF THE POLAR VORTEX MAKE IT INTO THE LOWER 48, BUT IT DOES SOMETIMES GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE UNUSUALLY COLD TEMPERATURES AS FAR SOUTH AS OUR OWN BACKYARDS! THE BOTTOM LINE IS: NOT EVERY COLD SNAP WE SEE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE POLAR VORTEX, BUT IT DOES FACTOR INTO THE OVERALL WINTER FORECAST!

The Prequel to Homesickness(Letter to My Brothers)
Regardless of what they say we all feel it. No matter how bad your situation may have been we all get homesick sometimes. It may be the people, it could be your bed, it could be a bench you used to sit on and ponder life. Whenever your away and you get moment to just chill thoughts of home cross your mind. Some act on these thoughts others stick to the plan. Talking to friends and hearing the stuff going on back home felt somewhat bittersweet. I miss chilling with my people and doing the things we do but my focus will remain unbroken.
Tunnel vision is one of my many blessings. It allows me to block out certain emotions and push forward. My goals and dreams require a certain amount of isolation. Many don't understand what it actually takes to be the best at your craft. They settle on a cloud called comfort and coast for the majority of their life but my eyes are set above where the clouds exist. My vision is somewhat stellar. If I am to return the man I have set my sights on then I must take this time (as long as it may be) to dig deeper into my soul. I must allow myself to be broken down until there is nothing left to break and my only choice is to begin building from scratch. I must remove all my luxuries and jump back in the trenches. Struggle I will, so that transform I must. My outlook maintains positive but still I'm constantly being tested and questioned.
I went shopping to a few stores for some winter gear and every time I use my card and they ask for my idea first thing they say "Why are you here?" I always reply opportunity. People know its not for the weather and its definitely not "location, location, location". Whenever the masses head left I've always been the one to head right. Why follow when I can lead. Unlike many on IG I don't need followers. I am okay with making moves and setting trends that won't catch on. I never did it for anyone but myself and my loved ones. I don't seek approval I only seek progression and if a Civilized Savage must leave his home and not return for many moons then that's exactly what he will do. Home is a plane away but its a flight I won't take unless my parental units request my presence. Homesickness is not a strong enough emotion to make me stray from my future plans. My mother and father understand my task and they support me. My brothers feel the same. My sister did not question me when I said its time to conquer new lands. She blindly said yes lets do it and for that blind faith I will repay her with my 100% effort to facilitate her and support her in her journey for a better life. I have sacrificed a lot but I know there is still more to give. Through the pain, hurt, and longing I shall endure, because in the end it will all be worth it. Whatever was mine will still be mine and more. Whoever was about me will still be about me. Leaving home means people can assume you to be out of the picture but they forget they are trapped by the invisible boundaries. Widen you lens, and break out of the frame. The world is bigger than your situation and its filled with wonders. I am Joshua " The Real Civilized Savage" and I will do what I said I'd do. I no longer can say to people " I hope you get what you want" I say "I hope you get what you deserve" because our deeds and impressions will determine what we earn. Will you get what you deserve that's up to you. Your earnings will directly reflect your sacrifice. Sorry to say though the world is funny because even that is not guaranteed. There is always hope though. So I say from the bottom of my heart " I miss home and everyone in it" but "I'm out here trying to make better me so that we can be a better us"(made sense to me). Until next time keep it LYM.

Get it in Ohio
Thank you to all who participated in my month long send off to Ohio. I appreciate and love each and every one of y'all. It been a bittersweet move but it feels like the right move. I have made this decision with a lot weighted topics on my mind. Family, friends and my future in general have helped guide my thoughts. A lot of people may think I'm only in search for a better situation for myself. The truth of the situation is that I'm in search of a better situation for my people. I decided to make the move because it was time to rise up and show my squad the world is bigger than Florida. Opportunity is everywhere but the best opportunity is not always the easiest transition. We rely on convenience and comfort but to truly change your situation you must go against the grain of life. I had the benefit of being able to max out the opportunities in my home state of Florida. With this in mind I understood it was time to go with the wild card option. Opportunities came up in Atlanta, Orlando, California, St. Louis, and a few more. Ohio seemed like an unnecessary exile. After researching and coming to see it for myself I realized Ohio offered me "Tabula Rasa". A fresh opportunity for a new beginning.
This island baby took his talents into the cold. What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger. This savage was born and raised in the sweltering heat of Miami but it was time to put the cold to the test. If the cold weather don't shake this man then he may return a stronger individual. The prodigal son shall return " The Leader of Men". The boy king transformed into the Righteous Savage.
This post dedicated to my family blood and non blood. Go out into the world and make them understand the depth of Civilized Savagery. This is more than a movement this is the backbone of the righteous man. The simplicity of our existence will slay the complexity of the world. We can make for a better tomorrow we just have to sacrifice today and show them how we found hope in the ruins of humanity. From the concrete jungles to backwoods we bring love, life, and lymin. Until next time keep it LYM.

leader of men
To a leader of men we have been through many adventures together. High School you fought cancer and we were there for you, our adventure to McDonalds where Momma Lym had to take us into the house, all our CHILL nights, now today is the day I leave from your house sipping on some Hennessy with you to wish you a farewell. Ohio is a new adventure that i will not be there in person but in spirit. I will come and visit once the time is right. You are going to start a new future for you and our little savage. Miami is my future for right now so we will have to keep in touch and turn up later. I have many opportunities here in Miami and will take full advantage just as you have. I am proud of all my brothers and the things they are doing and this is another event to write about. This is just another story to write in the LYMLife book. When we look back at this book, our stories will be in writing and we will never forget all the great times and struggle we went through. You have touched so many people in this world including me, and I hope I have touched you and all the other people I've met. I think everyone will agree that we will never have another brother like you. I will keep the fort down here in Miami and work to make sure that none of our brothers will be forgotten and have everything I have. We have always walked together side by side never looking down on each other or trying to best each other only in beer pong and we know who the best is. I thank you for always treating me and everyone as an equal. It really shows your character and the true character of what it is to be LYMLife.
To my friend, my brother, a king, and a leader of men good luck we will turn up soon.
