The word integrity brings a lot of ideas and people to mind. I imagine brave people who refuse to yield to evil and fear. It makes me think of people who held true to their morals in times of danger. Integrity means a lot to me in my life, because without our integrity, how can we define ourselves? A measure of a man isn't just what he's done or where he's been, but how he arrived there.
If I live my life with honor and follow a basic code of ethics, I think I will have led a good life. I hope to be successful one day, and provide well for my family, but I am not willing to violate my integrity to do so. Although I am very ambitious, I will not kill or steal for personal gain. When I am dead and people reminisce about me, I hope I am remembered as a fair and honorable man who never ripped off or cheated anyone.
Integrity means a lot to me in my life because it will eventually, if not already, define who I am. By being honorable and strong, I bring honor and strength to my family, to myself, and to how people view both. I will be able to sleep well at night knowing that I did the right thing in the face of risk and held true to my integrity.

My Blog Title
I chose my blog title when I was listening to some music and relaxing after a long day. The line is "now you're 'bout to feel the wrath of a menace/ nigga I hit 'em up." It's from the 2Pac song "Hit 'Em Up", and it actually does describe my feelings as a writer very well. Although I'm not comparing my life to 2Pac's, I think our feelings about writing are similar. We are both smart men who got in trouble a bit, and use our wit and charisma to rebel against things that went against us in our lives.
I am not an angry person by nature, but sometimes I do feel enraged and things like writing and making up songs on guitar help me vent my frustrations. I chose this title because writing can be so much more influential and intimidating than violence. Feeling the wrath of a menace is basically saying that if I have been wronged, my wrath will be carried out by a pen, to become a menace to those who have hurt me.
