Staying consistent is the key !!

Don't need to say much, I look up to this dude. This video proves how tight he is.

Words can't really describe how I've been feeling the past couple of days. This is the first time I've really had to deal with a death of someone close. When my mom called me crying, the last thing I expect her to say is that my cousin is gone. Diron, well the family calls him Man (as a baby they called him man man lol) and his brother Day Day were always my favorite cousins. So many memories. I remember when my granny would drop me off at their old house and we would go crazy. You know wrestling was big at the time so we'd always be tryna copy everything they were doing, they always said that I had the best stone cold stunners lol. I remember playing nintendo 64, watching And 1 mixtapes lol. I can still remember his old room with all the posters on the walls. He was a die hard Eddie Jones fan and I would always clown him and tell him to take him down because everyone knew Kobe was better lol. I remember the Aliyah posters, he used to say that was his wife. I remember the basketball court in the driveway. If u knew Man you knew he was tall as hell, and if you know me, you know I'm not. Which basically means he used to have dunk contests on me. That's probably why I stopped playing basketball lol Damn he loved basketball, anything about any trade, cut or roster chnage that happened in basketball he knew about it. And if u ever saw him or played basketball against him, you knew how good he was. I remember how he and his brother used to fight, Man was funny so he always used to make Day Day cry lol (sorry Day). I can still hear their mom yelling at them telling them to stop fighting lol. So many memories....All the family picnics, I even remember the bowling nights. I remember that week I spent over Man and Day's house when they moved and I met their friend Aj who ended up dating our cousin Toni. haha damn that takes me back. Man was such and enjoyable person. Even if he was clowning you, you couldn't help but laugh. So many stomach aches around him lol. Even in the mood I'm in now, i can't help but laugh or smile at some of the memories.

The last time I saw Man was at our show at "Out of Nowhere". That was the first time he or any of his family had ever seen me perform. I'm glad I got the chance to perform for him before he passed physically, but I know this won't be my last performance for him spiritually. It hurts me to know that I won't see him again, we won't be able to laugh, joke around or even for him to dunk on me again. I feel for Day Day, they were only 2 years apart, he lost a part of himself. I feel for his 3 year old brother who won't get a chance to have his guidance through life. I feel for his friends whom he brought comfort and laughter. I feel for his parents Shanny and Diron, you should never have to experience laying your first born to rest. As tragic as this is, I feel like everything happens for a reason. God had a plan for Diron's life and has one for his legacy. In the words of Myke B from itsmykeb.blogspot.com " we all fall victim to the comfort of life. knowing we're going to be here tomorrow. and then we're hit with news like this. a quick jolt of reality that tomorrow is never guaranteed. i mean. it makes you love a little harder. live a little fuller. and appreciate more. but somehow. for whatever reason. we'll fall back into the groove of life. and get comfortable again" I couldn't have said that any better.

As I was writing this I got a text from My mom who had just visited his family. She said that his mom said that I was his favorite cousin......It makes me tear up every time i think about it, but brings me solace in the knowledge that I was an appreciated and valued part in his life. Diron died from heart failure while playing basketball. Though it makes my heart ache to think about it, it don't think it could have happened any more poetically. Someone who genuinely loved life, passing doing what he loved to do. Man, I'll always keep the time's we had close to heart. I'll laugh about the good times because I know you would want me to. When I'm performing I know your cheering for me.... or cracking a joke about how big my glasses make my eyes look lol. Anything your family needs I got them, If I make it, they make it. And in words of the reminder from my friend Tyree "Whats absent from the body, is present with the lord"

R.I.P. Diron "Man" Rivers



I Love You Man
