Anything is possible

2010-05-19T08:03:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time coming y'all...yesterday begun a new chapter in my book of LIFE. I have yet to give up on my career plans and apparently GOD has allowed me to stay sTrOng and pull thru the obstacles. What I'm trying to say is I have signed another contract with the Navy and this time it's for keeps!! NO more stupidness going into this journey at least nothing that'll cost me my future. I'm set to leave for bootcamp on the 26th of this month and TRUST & believe when I say you can do ALL things through CHRIST!

I realize that he was with me yesterday hand in hand because I can't begin to tell you how I'm leaving so soon, there are people who have been waiting to get a JOB in the navy since last year or months ago. I was told there is a list of 300 people who need jobs & I managed to come out with one that leaves next Wednesday. That is NOTHING but his WORK! I'm convinced that this is my destiny & I'm on my way to success!

Remember keep the FAITH & work HARD!! You'll WIN every time.

Taking Responsibility

2010-04-19T16:28:00.000-07:00

I'm lying in bed sick with sooo much on the brain...you know how when its just you & the four walls (no tv, no music, no nothing) you get so caught up in your thoughts on the past & the present? Well today thats just what consumed me, my thoughts. However, it wasn't the thoughts I'm happy about...It was more so the ones you think "what if". It's a lot of things that took place in the last few years that I wish I could change. YES, I have one regret!! I know that some say everything happens for a reason but some things should NEVER FUCKIN HAPPEN!! I know I'm human & all that other shit that people say to help you get through hard times, but making mistakes that could cost you your career or livelihood is SIMPLY stupid!! I'm a very private person but I feel like I'm at the point where I can be OPEN about my life & not be judged on my stupidity or mistakes I've made because I'm correcting them.

May 12, 2009 I was ready to get shipped off to bootcamp in quest to become a UNITED STATES SAILOR(USN). Little did I know it wasn't going to happen like that....Walking into MEPS that monday morning with my head held high only to be told that I had been discharged due to......something that I had experienced once before. The feeling of NOT knowing was one thing but the feeling of having to go home to parents who supported me in this endeavor & have to explain why I'm still home is a WHOLE different set of emotions. From that day to this one I've been STRONG on the outside but on the inside I'm weak! Honestly, I can't even explain how I'm making it because I beat myself up behind closed doors not physically but my thoughts eat me alive. GOD is healing me & I do believe that but I still get to thinking WHAT IF!! It's hard not too! My parents know whats REAL & they hurt just as much as I do but for my mom its still disappointing & one thing I don't want to be is a disappointment. Today, I'm striving to accomplish this goal & when I do boy do I have a testimony. I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve nor feel like my problems should be everyone else problems, so some of my friends might read this and think "why didn't she tell me this?" I just couldn't!! For one its somewhat embarrassing because I was SO fucking confident & sure I was already in like flin and GOD snatched me from my HIGH & said, "naw boo you aint ready, humble yourself". Since then I've excepted christ, trying to hold on tight to FAITH, and trying to let it GO!!

I'm saying all of this to say don't let your past crupt your FUTURE! If the door hasn't closed & locked there is still a way for you to go through it. NOTHING in life is handed to you!! You MUST work HARD VERY HARD to get it!! Knock out everything thats in the way...family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend(s), haters, ANYTHING that prevents you from your DESTINY!! Trust and believe I know its easier said than done. I'm still planting this into my head as I type it to YOU! but.......

GOD-CAN!

maturity

2010-02-16T00:28:00.000-08:00

i'm 23. i don't know it all. and i don't ever want to come off like i do. but whether it be because of my age, my experience or just the simple fact that i am a human being whose mind works, i be thinkin bout sh*t from time to time. tryna figure somethings out. rationalizing. analyzing. developing a better understanding of how i see the world and everything and everyone in it. and lately ive been thinking about "maturity". so if you're interested, gather 'round, read a bit, comment.

so i don't have a huge back story on maturity. i just felt like i came to a pretty good conclusion on the concept of maturity [or the process of maturing rather]: making better decisions throughout all aspects of your life. and with that being said. there should be an understanding that people are going to mature differently. the uniqueness of everyone's life means that the time, the area, the way, the purpose, and the impact of maturing may/will differ from person to person. but again, it should all come to the point of making better decisions in your life. there's work, school, relationships, friendships, family affairs, or everyday living/thinking. when we're younger [up to about a few years after graduating high school] we just "do". we feel like we take things into consideration but we soon find that some of the decisions we made have comeback to bite us in the *ss because they ended up affecting our lives negatively in the future. [perhaps making a decision that became counter productive towards the person you wish to be] and reading this won't necessarily stop anyone from making any of those mistakes. i've learned all too well that sometimes people have to learn those type of lessons first-hand before they really catch on. it just pains me to hear and see people make such horrible decisions at an age where they should understand that their future depends on almost every decision you make. but you can't wake everybody up. you can't help those who refuse to help themselves.

males/females need to learn to be a bit more discreet with their sexuality. everyone should grasp on to the concept of being a lady/gentleman in the streets, and a freak in the sheets. you don't want the person you're interested in hearing about how you get down from other people do you? that's bad for business. their intentions for you could be screwed up by that. a loss of respect can turn a tender interest into a trophy notch. i'm just being real. [and dudes need to understand that women are not above putting a notch in their belts either...that's life...deal]

...one day it'll all make sense

ex's & sh*t [#ontothenextone]

2010-02-11T07:36:00.000-08:00

no matter how good the chemistry. sometimes people just end up not being good for each other. before anybody goes in on that, understand that i mean that they don't bring out the best in each other. if they did, they probably wouldn't be ex's... and if that's the case, so be it. #ontothenextone

*and stop updating people on their ex's. your intentions may be good but it just creates an awkward moment of unnecessary knowledge. would you really wanna hear about who all your ex is messing with? if you said yes, then you're not over that relationship and maybe you need to address that with them instead of keeping tabs on them. out of sight. out of mind. #ontothenextone

...falling in love...

2010-02-05T22:01:00.000-08:00

so a while back when i was on twitter i asked a question and haven't gotten an answer yet. now it wasn't really put out there to get an answer, more so to stir up some thinking. [...usually the purpose behind all of my tweets] so i'll ask the question on here and hopefully some beautiful minds will come across this and provide some insight. do you have to "fall" in love or can you "walk" into it. now it may seem like a joke, but i'm serious. the word "fall" makes it seem like it something unexpected. like it's a mistake or something. and i mean i can understand when love comes about unexpectedly or "by mistake" [if that even makes sense]. but what if you carried yourself towards love knowingly. completely aware of what happened, what's going on, what's going to happen. or is that impossible? what if i chose to "jump" into love? i'm seriously looking for some insight on this so if you come across this, offer a little something. doesnt matter how old this is, every opinion is greatly appreciated. spread the word. 'preciate ya ;)

The Hardest Moment Of My Life

2010-01-30T20:29:00.000-08:00

you couldn't imagine the things i've been through in my 23 years of living. moments that have almost brought me to the point of taking my own life. [please don't worry about that. i'll never give up living, no matter how difficult it gets] but this 23rd year has already given me the hardest moment of my life. through the years you gain friends enemies. and you lose friends/enemies. i am not perfect and shall never claim to be. since i started blogging a year or more ago i have always confessed to being a work in progress. and i will never say any different. especially with having accomplished so little compared to how much more life i have and how many more things i have to accomplish. [goals as far as career/marriage/family] i haven't always made the best decisions. i haven't always gone about things the right way. but i've grown up with many disadvantages many around me could never guess or assume. and please don't take that as an excuse. because i surely don't offer it as one. just an explanation behind a lot of the decisions/choices i've made in life that haven't been the best. through it all, whether fueled by anger/jealousy/greed, inside my intentions have always been and shall always be good. like many others, at times those good intentions aren't always recognized and sometimes those negative emotions can blind me. whatever the case may be: i apologize. to any and everyone i have ever hurt, i'm hurting, or will hurt. again, i don't apologize for the sake of justifying any actions or wrong doings. i apologize because as a soul trying to find his way in this world, i have to accept the mistakes i have made, apologize from them, learn my lessons and march forward looking for a way to prove i am continuously becoming a better man; a better person. most recently i've experienced one of the hugest shifts in my life ever. and to be honest i don't think anything will ever occur in my life to this magnitude again. and while i have had true friends stand by my side and help me realize the lessons i have learned from this experience and acknowledge a lot of other aspects that surround this specific situation, i am hurting more than i can ever say i've hurt before. a lot of people attribute it to them immaturity of specific persons. or the hurt. or the "follower" mentality of some. but it all hurts. to see people speak so badly about me. to go so out of their way to disrespect my name. to spread such inaccurate rumors and offer such a jaded opinion of me. it hurts. and while many may feel my pain. while many may have experienced similar if not worse. because it's going on at this very moment in my life. because it's happening to me and no one else. it's a pain that i can't believe anyone accurately understands. i mean at the end of the day no one else is in my shoes. no one else takes these rumors/comments/actions as personal as i do. but i'm not trying to play the victim here. i got myself into this situation. i knew things would change. and as hurtful as it is. i don't regret anything. it took something like this to expose a lot of people's true character's to not only me, but the people surrounding them who may have a bit of info on what's going on. i wrote this blog as an attempt to help move past this. i'm not trying to hurry the process by any means. but as many bloggers know, sometimes there are somethings you can't accurately get out to people through a conversation. and sometimes letting these fingers speak from the soul is the best medicine whatever ails you at the time. and that's what i'm doing. i pray many times a day. [since before this bump in the road] and i have not let up one bit through this ordeal. as a matter of fact this has taught me to pray more often actually. now i'm just saying what works for me. every time i experience that moment where it seems like i've been dealt a hard blow. every time i hear of something more hurtful. every time i feel alone. every time i start beating up on myself and sulking. i pray. because i know that He will never give me more than i can handle. and i acknowledge that i cannot do anything without Him. so i'm not about to sit here and think i'm going to be able to grow and move forward in life without getting down on my knees and praying to Him to help me through this. and this is tough. real tough. everyday i'm scared that someone i truly appreciate as a friend will hear some bullsh*t about this situation and change their opinion of me. as many that have showed their true colors and hit me up just to make sure i'm okay. have made an effort to show me our friendship hasn't changed, i just can't help but worry who's next ya know? but everything happens for a reason. i found myself locked in an environment that really wasn't good for me. and to be honest, probably isn't good for anyone else involved in that same environment. and i say that because i know many who voiced the same concerns about getting out of that. as harsh of a situation as it was, it allowed me to get out. and i know this is the perfect opportunity for me to put myself in a better position in every aspect of my life, but again, this is hard. that routine you get used to. those people you become familiar with. for it all to just up and change can really rock your world. this is not to say that my issues are the toughest things going on in the world. i know they're not. [my prayers go out to all in Haiti] but this is an issue that's closest to home for me. something in my actual everyday living that is really affecting me. *sighs* i just needed to vent. if you read this, thank you and i hope you understand. this is honestly just the hardest moment of my life. but i promise you the phoenix will rise from the ashes. a new beginning is not far away at all. *smh* i just needed to express my feelings about what i'm going through right now.

-there will be no revision/edits to this one. this is just me. raw as can be. i let my fingers speak for my soul.

Friendship

2010-01-29T22:57:00.000-08:00

Before I started typing this post I really had to brainstorm a bit to figure out which approach I was going to take with this topic...I'm sure y'all can think of many ways yourself to approach this but my concern and question is: What does friendship mean? I've asked this question plenty of times to people just to make sure we were on the same page, but I notice a lot of people really don't take heed to what comes out their mouth [you know the kind of people to just tell you what they think you want to hear], befriending you because they think its cool. Not knowing who you really are. Also a lot of people think cause they know your name or you've been around their group of friends on several occasions your friends, naw playa we just associates. Then of course there are those who think just because your friendly and cordial your friends, wrong again!

Friendship to me is an in-depth relationship combining trust, support, communication, loyalty, understanding, and empathy. Friendship is a comfy situation like home. You get home, kick off your shoes, relax and sigh, "Ahh, home." You shouldn't have to wonder about a friend or they shouldn't have to wonder about you. It's a relationship you know that person is someone you can count on NOT to let you down. Don't get me wrong friendships have its ups & downs, smiles and frowns, but for the most part if its a for real friendship and both parties take it seriously then there is NO problem at the end of the day.

However, not everyone views friendship like that...I know sometimes people grow out of relationships, or that whole people come into your life for different reasons, seasons, and maybe lifetimes, but I do know some endings to friendships are uncalled for and sometimes make you question your judgement on a person [like Damn I didn't know they'd get down like that]. One thing I've learned throughout the years you can NEVER be too sure with people PERIOD! I'm not just saying that because I have trust issues either, its the truth! I DON'T PUT SHIT PASS ANYBODY!! not even my family!! Cause people will change on you quicker than you can count to two [yeah that fast LoL].

In my personal experience with friends I've learned that the TRUE ones shine brighter than the FAKE ones and sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference but sooner or later it'll come to light and hopefully you'll be true to yourself and recognize.

Let's not forget to truly understand what friendship means before we go out making them :-)

when we started this blog i can't say that me and DAYMECHELLE knew each other all that well. we go back to high school but it wasn't until after those high school years that we really got to know each other. back when i put it out there that i wanted to do a blog with someone and she expressed her interest, i had such a good feeling about her and what she would be able to bring to the BlogWorld. if im correct, this is her first blog [?] and i cant tell you how much i appreciate her being willing to take that giant step into this Bloggers world. [with me nonetheless] naturally we have gotten to know each other a whole lot better and while we do share a lot of similar perspectives we are not the same person and i love that about her the most. whether it's a blog post or a personal conversation, she comes at everyone with a rawness that is can only be respected and appreciated. i've met many people in my life and i've gotten to know many but i can truly say that this girl right here is a rare breed and i am extremely happy to be able to share this blog with her and im so glad that this was an excuse for us to get to know each other better. i just wanted to take this time and acknowledge her and let everyone else out there know how blessed i am to be sharing this blog with her. DAYMECHELLE: you my dear are an amazing person with an amazing spirit and i appreciate you more than you could ever know. gimme some huggin!

20.10 was supposed to be my year of discipline. i wanted to get more focused on al the goals i accomplished. i quickly got side tracked. caught up in hype and stuff. i dont really care to make this long but this is my message to everyone who knows me. im going away. ima be in the same place. same number. same bbm. same email. contact me whenever. but i wont be on twitter. im hardly ever on facebook already. i'll rarely be on AiM. i need to focus. and i have to give up the little distractions. i will continue to blog. i dont know how often or how frequent. hopefully we wont lose any followers. and new ones are always welcomed. but this will be my outlet to vent what's on my mind while im "away" or whatever. or just questions/concerns/or lessons learned. i want to be unreal. unlike anyone you've ever met or known. all i ask is that you believe in me. i believe in you. it's time. [i know this may seem weird to most]

[shout out to my buddy Bertran for this video]

i've always admired Will Smith. he's one of my idols. i admit i have many for different reasons. ive never wanted to be one specific person. a combination of many. i'll prolly start posting blogs about those people among many other things. i hope more people become involved in this blog. we wanna hear from you. we wanna talk to you. we wanna relate. we wanna debate [in a friendly manner of course] take what you can from this and use it. be better. you can always be better. we can always be better. if no one loves you. i do.

Passion for fashion[online]

2010-01-21T11:26:00.000-08:00

Clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, and hats I love them all!!! My closet holds all of these things but its NEVER enough. I know some of you might think I'm probably a shopaholic but the truth of the matter is I HATE shopping because usually I can't find what I want or if they have what I want its not my size [that pisses me OFF!]. However, online shopping has been the BEST thing ever created. I find everything online and in ALL sizes!! Also you find all the cheap brand names and exclusives for little to nothing, its Amazing! I realized going to the mall and working in retail ONLY gets you a certain few looks that the stores think are in for the season. Personally I'm not a fan of looking like everyone else. I don't even know what to call my style because I get dressed on how I'm feeling first and on where I'm going later, if that makes sense. But I just wanted you guys to know shopping online will make your life sooo much easier and happier!!:-) I advise the shopaholics to try it out but don't blame me if you go broke LoL.

Dating game.

2010-01-20T00:22:00.000-08:00

Do you really know what you want or are you playing the game?

I was talking to one of my close guy friends today about a plethora of things but of course what stood out the most was our conversation about dating. It was funny because it’s the norm for us to go back and forth about how I view men and how he views women. Often in our convos he gets mad cause I end up being right…but that’s beside the point [Lol]. Anywho, as the conversation started I got into telling him about how I was dating this guy for almost two years off & on [I know that sounds crazy but its very true!] and we’ve NEVER made it a casual fling. He’s kept it REAL 110% with everything!! I could go on for days about how this guy is actually really genuine, sweet, honest, caring, and the list goes ON! However, just recently he moved to New Orleans on business for six months and to be honest I was CRUSHED! It was kind of like one of those you don’t know what you got until its gone moments but I also realized with all of his unbelievable qualities he’s still allowing me to play this game…I say that because for one we’ve been dating for two years [who does that?] and its been on again and off again because I’ve spent time getting to know other people, working, school, etc. You know what people do while dating…but as I’m telling my friend the story he stops me and says, “your still SINGLE”. Yeah I know, Bust my BUBBLE! [lol]. He then goes on to say that’s the game and you know it! That made me mad because often times the person you want is right underneath your nose and you just don’t see it because you want to have options and see what else is out there or your like me and you NEED someone that captures your FULL attention. Why does that have to be apart of the game?? Its frustrating when you realize shit after the fact but the funny part is even if I would’ve realized it before hand he wouldn’t be my boyfriend…for the simple fact that I like being single. Honestly, I was crushed because I won’t have anyone like him around. I know it sounds bad but it’s apart of the game ;-) I figure if you can’t keep my focus on just YOU then I gotta keep it pushing and I know some guys feel the same which in there case leads to cheating but that’s a whole other post [lol]. Basically what it comes down to is the games will continue as long as you allow them to…End them here!!

P.s. I personally don’t think it should be called playing games. When your dating anything goes!! Right?

Wishing you a...

Secrets

2010-01-09T19:48:00.000-08:00

Have you ever had a secret relationship? A secret affair? I have. And til this day I can say it was the most exciting experience I've ever had. Now many will be quick to assume the worst but let me clarify a few things for you: we were both single. we were in an actual relationship throughout the period of time it was a secret as well as when we became public. and we both chose to have our relationship be a secret for no other purpose than being able to enjoy getting to know each other without everyone else being all in our business. Again, it was amazing. Meeting up in random places. Hanging out without anybody knowing. Acting normal in public. Exciting! It makes everything more intense. That kissing session is a bit more passionate. The sex has that extra rush added to it. The tension built from not being able to be all over each other in public is so arousing! I guess I can say I have a fetish for secrets. [I advise you not to assume the worst and take that to the extreme] I enjoy having secrets. Not for deceitful purposes at all. But I enjoy not having everyone in my business. And there's an understanding between the two people that makes each secret moment mean a little more. You get to experience a world uninterrupted. Whether it's your first secret situation or your 100th, it doesn't lose it's appeal. It all depends on the person. A different person brings a different experience. And each time you'll find you bring something else to the table to help keep the secret a spicy one. [or at least I do] I enjoy the excitement of a secret relationship. And to be honest you may find out that it's only a secret to the both of you. [But then again, that's all that counts] I know I asked a friend of mine how she felt about a secret relationship and she was so against it because she gave into the common misconception of the word secret having such a negative connotation. And understandably so. But never does a secret relationship have me appreciate a woman any less. Nor do I choose to exploit my secret affair and start "hoe'n" around for a lack of better words. WARNING: secret relationships are not for everybody. there's a lot of trust involved for both parties. if you don't trust yourself OR the other person involved...DON'T DO IT!!! please don't try this if you can't handle it. you'll only end up hurting yourself and possibly someone else.

what's your name again?

2010-01-09T19:43:00.000-08:00

sometimes ppl hit you up and you have no clue who they are. or sometimes you do, but you can't remember exactly how/why/where you know them from. and ppl get so hurt when you can't remember their name. [I mean we all have/do] let's stop that sh*t. On New Year's I ran into some girl who tried to jog my memory of how she knew me: my 11th grade drama class [1 semester] and I graduated in '05...#comeonson! you have no idea how many people I've met, how many faces I've seen, how many names I've heard since then. I'm truly sorry I didn't share the same connection you did with me for me to remember exactly who you are. And I don't mean that in any sarcastic way. [As I thought about it later, I remember she had a crush on me...the feelings weren't mutual.] I really wish I could remember everyone I meet but that is nearly impossible. But again, I admit to getting all offended when someone I wanted to remember me, doesn't. But I've learned it doesn't make it any easier for me to become someone they'll remember if I act all butt-hurt. Simply reintroduce yourself. You can't win them all ya know? It will make the greeting much more pleasant and could lead to a good conversation/friendship. I mean, if someone were to give me that courtesy I would probably say something along the lines of "I apologize for that, how are you, how have things been? It's clearly been a while..." And if you can't work with that...then I really don't know what to tell you. So from this early part of 20-10 and beyond let's try to turn "what's your name again?" into a more positive interaction :)

Dope!

Trey Songz...Reinvented Sex Remix with Keri Hilson and Usher...MY GOODNESS!! When I say they did that x100 they DID IT!! But I absolutely love how Ms.Keri comes in like Boy I will teach you some thangs! [LoL]. Then of course Usher Raymond [he could really get the works] with his....Let me stop! Ya'll just watch......

Is it just me???

2010-01-05T00:07:00.000-08:00

Lately I been feeling like a lot of the people in this WORLD have become for a lack of a better word PARCHed!![you know like thirsty for something that's NOT at all as serious as they think]. However, the really bad part about this is they think its "under wraps". For Example: The THIRSTiest (not a word but don't judge me) shit takes place on Twitter. Females and Males be checkin for what they exes be saying to other people, females want to follow the other girl to see what "she" tweets, and all kinds of other BULLSHIT that is just PURE dehydration! Don't get me wrong I LOVE twitter and being all in everybody else business [lol] but certain shit is just uncalled for especially to the point where you gotta block, make your shit private, and things of that nature. Now I know I have done my share of tweeting but it has NEVER gotten thirsty on my end unless purposely and jokingly. The same goes for facebook, aim, myspace, etc. It's like the "OK GO" for females [lmao...smh]. Often times men try to be a little bit more discreet about it but not enough to go unnoticed. I see why I'm who I am cause if I let half the shit get to me like some of ya'll do I'd be fucked up in the game. I mean really where is the satisfaction in being thirsty for someone or something that's NOT even minutely interested in you? Channel that urge you have into something positive [idk who I'm foolin thats too much like right]. Also its cowardly to go through social networks to try and put together a scoop when you could clearly just ask the person what the deal is but once again this just might be my kind of thinking.

On the other hand you have outside of cyber space where REAL life thirsty incidents take place..."he say, she say"(yeah i know high school)...gangbangin(2010 really?)...MUST I go on? So really what it comes down to is shit is getting out of pocket! But I'm NOT at all surprised.

Ladies and Gents is it just me???

Another Decade

2010-01-01T22:05:00.000-08:00

Its simply a blessing to reach another decade...I don't know about ya'll but I'm EXTREMEly Happy!! Life is indeed complex but I have to admit its AWeSoMe at the same time. Happy New Year everybody!!! DO YOU!!

2010

2009-12-31T20:57:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year! [be safe out there. drink responsibly. watch out for the sobriety checks. don't drink & drive. have fun!]

i like you

2009-12-31T20:42:00.000-08:00

the girls i like usually don't know it. and probably never will unless i know the feeling is mutual or i'm feeling bold [aka i might have a few drinks in me lol] i've been trying to get over this for what seems like forever but i can't help but be nervous around girls im generally interested in. and i can't ever get used to rejection. [maybe it's just me but i don't think that's something anyone should ever get used to] well going into 2010 i hope some sort of solution works itself out. i plan on taking more chances and all of that but i just don't know...i like you...and i don't know how to act. they say act natural but i love talking to girls and getting to know them and what they like. i really enjoy knowing girls. and im sure that could possibly be a bit much for some. [or at least i scare myself into believing that] the honest truth is i have a lot to give and just like many out there i want the opportunity to love someone the best way i can. a bit intense im sure. but i know for a fact there are people out there who feel the same way as me. i guess i just have to wait until i meet that one girl who understands. [and maybe thinks it's cute? lol] but when we want something really bad we can't help but get anxious. so i'm sure i might make a few mistakes. but going into 2010 i plan on loving like i never have before and i won't regret one bit of it. this is the year of the lover. [shout out to jdaflip]

My apologies!

2009-12-30T17:34:00.000-08:00

As you all can see I'm not such a HUGE blogger and honestly I won't ever be...but I realize that some of you really enjoy this blog and some of you have hit me up on twitter or aim saying "post something already!!" [LoL] I spend a lot of time on my lappy as it is and idk why I can't just log on and give you guys a fix but I promise to do better. Its not like I don't have shit to say LoL. So my apologies for not delivering, hope y'all forgive me :-)

marijuana

2009-12-29T21:45:00.000-08:00

i don't think i've ever actually referred to it as that. most likely just weed or some codename. but anyways i will no longer be partaking in smoking weed [i never have/will smoke anything else either]. i've spent the last month or so debating on letting it go and today i decided it's time to cut those strings. there are a couple of different reasons why and if you're interested in knowing why i'll explain that as you keep reading. now i wanna say that within the last 4 months i became what some would consider a serious smoker. i got a medical card and my whole life changed lol. don't get me wrong tho. i don't regret smoking. i don't have anything against it per se. or anybody who chooses to smoke weed. i can't really f*ck with the concept of smoking cigarettes but i dont really have much to say about that. to each their own. it was actually a great experience. i made a lot of new friends smoking. scavengers who just wanted in on my hook up [medical card]. heavy smokers [fellow medical card holders or avid weed smokers]. and weed experts [knowledge of any and all things weed related]. it was a good time all around and i hope the friendships ive built through means of smoking won't vanish [but time will tell]. for me though, giving up weed fell more into my 2010 mindset.

i would like to be more successful in the things i do and the goals i aspire to accomplish and while i can dream big and plan out my road to success, i feel like i'm lacking discipline. whether it be working out or studying or practicing the guitar. i let many excuses keep me from focusing on whatever skill/task i was supposed to be working towards. i don't wanna let that happen anymore. i want to be able to develop a level of discipline that will help me effectively and efficiently reach my goals. im about to be 23 and i wanna accomplish some sh*t in my lifetime so i really don't want to waste any more time bullsh*ttin. i figured picking up a martial art would be a perfect way to help develop this discipline. and i would add onto that by picking up other physical activities to help focus on the discipline of working out and learning something like the values and morals involved in learning a martial art. so anyways, i feel like im rambling now. long story short today i went to a boxing class by way of a good buddy of mine [who i met through smoking] and i loved that sh*t. i already have a hidden passion for working out. i'm addicted to the results [and also the pain after. no pain, no gain lol] i just give into my laziness more often than none. but to me today was just a teaser of what i'm in for in this arriving year of 2010. [oh yea, ive also been playing basketball more and i wanna learn how to play soccer realli good] so with all this working out and training and practice and physical activity i plan on getting in, i figure weed will be unnecessary. now i know many make the argument that smoking weed before working out will increase the results or some bullsh*t but i argue that i shouldn't have to trick my mind or body into doing that. i figure the discipline of focusing on the actual workouts will be more beneficial to my mind, body & soul in the end versus tricking my mind into working out for the wrong reasons. i want to train my mind to want/enjoy working out. [does that make sense?] also the actual act of smoking was never really something i enjoyed. the whole inhaling/exhaling thing never felt comfortable [slash i didnt want it to become comfortable, if that makes any sense to you]. the coughing slash d*mn near dying from inhaling too hard or whatever. and also there would be this feeling in my throat i would get when i would have huge sessions that just felt like years and years of that would leave me with a hole in my neck. and ima be real with yall. i don't want that sh*t at all. so yea, most weed smokers claim their not addicted, and they can stop when they want if they want and i can tell you from being on the inside. that's a lie. weed does become an addiction for some if not most no matter how mild it may be. many smoke to ignore life's issues. some smoke because they enjoy feeling the bond made between fellow smokers. [and i completely understand that. majority of smokers understand each other on a deeper level...or at least the weed makes you think so.] some smoke because they feel it makes them focus better on a task or enjoy life more. makes food better. makes sex better. good sleep. whatever excuses there may be for smoking weed, i feel like there is a healthier, drug-free substitute for all of that. [sidenote: as much as i enjoy the company of a girl who smokes, the smokers cough has always been one of the most attractive things ever and if you smoke on any kind of regular basis, that is inevitable.] well now that i've ramble on forever, i hope whoever takes the time to read this understands where i'm coming from. hopefully it'll change a life or two. if not, i definitely hold no harsh feelings or pass any judgment on those who continue to smoke. it's honestly just a personal decision that i feel will work out in my favor. so please don't be offended when i decline or step away from a session. it's just not my thing anymore. :)

12:34

2009-12-27T05:27:00.000-08:00

the time above represents the perfect time. It is a time when the numbers are in sequence beginning with one [a more accurate time would be 12:34:56 where 56 represents the seconds] but that has nothing to do with this post except for that is the time I wrote this. Right now I'm @ a Denny's [many who know me might not be surprised, but I am] I'm out with a buddy of mine right now, hittin up some functions. We just went to one that was entirely too packed and hot for me. It was good, I just didn't wanna be that hot. He wanted to stay so elected to go get something to eat while he enjoyed himself. And that's how I ended up here @ Denny's. I decided I would write a blog while I waited for my food. [I ordered a Grand Slam burrito...I love that sh*t.] Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to eat. and i hope my friend enjoys himself. I don't really have anything to say. I'm just typing. I haven't done that in a while. Now I'm just wasting time until my food comes. So I'll tell you about my niece. I love her so much. That little woman has changed my life and it's such an honor to be able to be apart of her life and helping develop who she becomes. I don't wanna let her down at all. I wanna love her unconditionally and teach her random cool things. I wanna be able to be real close with her and help her understand life when she's afraid to speak to her father [my brother] about things. Well my food is here so I'm going to end this. Thanks for reading. ...in a way, you just kept me company :) [Merry Christmas lol]

as soon as I was ret to dig in, my homeboi calls me and says he's ready to shake. [I had a feeling that would happen lol] so I got half of it to go, ate one half and then left to get him. took him home, came home, finished the rest of that Grand Slam burrito, wrote some blogs and finished this one. I have no idea why I'm telling you this but I am so I hope someone cares/enjoys lol. goodnight [or good morning depending on when you're reading this...afternoon even...]

wasted beauty

2009-12-27T02:13:00.000-08:00

i cant remember the last time i heard about someone like you
you remind me of those forgotten vixens
the ones who constantly search for love
and can't handle the twist and turns
so you turn to drugs when you dont get attention
you drown the confusion of your emotions in every bottle or cup you can
or a blunt
or a pill
or some lean
whatever takes the pain away
whatever transports you to the next day
because you can't bear the pain any longer

why doesnt he love you the way you want him to?
why cant things just be the way you want them to be?
you love him
but you hate the way he treats you
you hate the way he makes you feel
then why do you still love him
why do you stay around
it doesnt have to be that way
but no one can make you see

that you deserve to be treated better
you should be inspired to experience the world more
versus spending your days and nights numb
someone should get you high off their energy
and you can become their favorite joy
a new addiction if you will
all the highs
and very few lows

but will you ever put down that glass
or put out that blunt
and see past the lies clear eyes is telling you

im scared for you
you dont see any limits
and it's only a matter of time
i just hope you dont slip too deep
and no longer have the ability to see

how beautiful you truly are

home sweet home

2009-12-27T02:09:00.001-08:00

baby. i am coming home. to you. and that is enough to keep me living. i'll wake up early. i'll work hard. i'll bear traffic. all to come home to you. eat dinner together. wash the dishes. shower. watch tv or a movie. cuddle. enjoying each others company. or maybe we're around the place doing our own thing. your presence alone will make me feel at. without you. this house is not a home. i love the way you taste in the morning. and the way you feel at night. the smell of your sweet perfume send electricity through my blood. i'm in love with every single bit of you. even the parts you dont think i notice. your beauty knows know ends. baby. im coming home. to you.

the era of my love

2009-12-27T01:48:00.000-08:00

my ideal love exists in a different era. in time well before mine. maybe it's because i idolize the love my grandparents had. their time. i wanna say the mid 60's. it may be a troubled time but the love stories ive seen in that era stand out to me the most. the southern girl pursued by a wild southern gentlemen. to imagine that kind of love warms my spirit. something like the Notebook. [if you have seen it, fix that] but that era. that time. it feels like things were more honest. men had to court women before they could win their mind, body & soul. you were introduced to the parents the right way. when you picked her up for a date. or came over for dinner. not caught making out in your house when you thought they were gone. or not because you got her pregnant. and i completely understand those situations. when it's fresh it seems it's at it's best. you live in the moment. you take on the new. the bold. but nowadays it doesnt seem like that lasts too long for whatever reasons. but back in the day it seemed to always last forever. it's that honesty. think of your grandparents. together for decades. yea it may sound extreme to some. but i like the idea of somebody loving me forever. and me loving them just as strongly. but this era is forgotten. i dont even think people fall in love anymore. or at least it feels like they dont. i refuse to be like the rest. im going to live the way that makes me happy. and find someone who wants to write this love story with me. a hopeful romantic i choose to be.

shower sex

2009-12-26T03:45:00.000-08:00

i'm not gon lie, it's not always as easy as the pornos and movies make it seem. but that sh*t is some kind of tight. just being under the warm water is amazing. maybe you guys started off washing each other. [don't knock til you try it] and seeing the water rinse the suds away. revealing the delicious complexion of their skin. [if you're not a freak, turn back now] pressing her body up against the wall. or the shower door. the cold may startle her a little bit at first, but if you're gentle, it'll be more of a turn on if anything. and then just the actual act of having sex while the water is raining down on you; it can set a certain type of mood. it can ignite passion. it can create a sensual aura. the scratching can go better in there. [a more intense feeling, less injury risk lol] biting is extremely effective in there. [the water is cooled by the air and the temperature in your mouth will combine with that to create a surprisingly arousing sensation] sh*t, it might end up being some of the best sex you've ever had. but again, ima warn you; it's not always easy to get it poppin tho. it's slippery in there. and some showers may not give you enough space to get it in. [but then again, you can get it poppin in some pretty close spaces if you two know what you're doing.] sometimes after sex i like to shower together. something about washing a woman's body. rubbing lotion all over her. massaging her. caressing her. yea. i'm just into stuff like that. but maybe it's just me...

the best i ever had

2009-12-26T03:27:00.000-08:00

often times we hold back in relationships. mainly in the beginning. fear that someone might take advantage of us again. hurt us. use us. abuse us. but often times that keeps us from loving like we know we can. and then we wonder why the relationship went sour. how can we ask someone to love us all the way when we are barely giving half? it's an unfair expectation many of us walk around with. well i can't live like that anymore. do unto others as you would have others do unto you [or something like that lol] i'm going to give my everything and eventually i will come across someone who does the same. and hopefully we can just continue to inspire each other to keep giving each other our all. because i can move forward knowing that i gave my all versus regretting not being 100 from jump. again, i'm bound to come across someone i can build a successful relationship with. to some i may be jumping the gun. but i want a family. and that sh*t doesn't just happen. the 2 people that start a family have quite a bit to go through and experience before they get started. [or at least i feel it should be that way] i idolize the love story my grandparents had. meeting in college. falling in love. living happily ever after. because they were able to build such a foundation. mold such a bond. they started a family. raised children. have grandchildren. maintain ties with family rooted elsewhere. amazing. simply amazing. to me. but then again i'm a just a hopeful romantic. but i feel like there's a woman out there who can appreciate/love/respect me and i can give her the same in return.

baby you're my everything, you're all i've ever wanted...

let's talk about sex baby

2009-12-26T02:40:00.000-08:00

how would you feel if i asked you to wait to have sex with me? has that ever happened to you before?

when i saw what cheating did to a girl; it changed my life. and i vowed never to let myself get into those same situations again. and so i came up with a certain way i chose to go about relationships from now on. but more so the moving on process. but even more so about sex. [lol] first off, i am no longer having sex outside of a relationship. it's going to be extremely tough but it's so much safer. it allows time for std testing to take place. [if you dont have anything you, shouldnt be offended.] and then, when relationship ends, i will not have sex for the remainder of that year. [even if i get a new girlfriend within that year] sounds crazy right? but i like the way it works out. i see it as my own twist on celibacy. [im assuming that's allowed. if not...idgaf] if a girl respected that and waited, there would be such a bond built by the time it went down. and it allows me time to successfully move on from a past relationship before entering a new one. [major area of f*ck ups in the past] and get tested. [are you scared?] then once the New Year rolls around, the 1st kiss of the year means so much more AND there could be New Year's Day sex! [super plus!] and just think. starting off the year with a fresh relationship! if enough time has passed and allowed us to build a good foundation; the possibilities are endless. now some might ask "what if that's not enough time for me to move on?" EX: a relationship that lasted a long while, years maybe, and it ends in NOV/DEC. well if i don't truly feel i am ready to get in a relationship again, i won't. and i'm not going to lie to myself. what good would that do? and in the meantime when im not in a relationship, not having sex, not building a foundation for a new relationship; ima keep on living loving learning and laughing.

idk...

2009-12-21T13:03:00.000-08:00

i blogged today. or at least i wrote an entry. got pretty into too lol. but at some point i just stopped, doubted that it would make any sense and deleted it. it was about trust. a subject i feel some kind of way about. i just felt like i was too all over the place with it and it wouldnt make sense or nobody would care to read it. lol i guess i experienced a moment of writer's insecurity. [as i'm sure many other bloggers have] but i dont like that. i dont know why i felt it. maybe it's because it's been so long since ive blogged. whatever it is i need to get this together. i miss blogging. it's just things have been kind of all over the place in my head lately. idk..

Imperfection

2009-12-11T23:37:00.000-08:00

We wake up in the morning
look ourselves in the mirror, and we try to see
our imperfection that seems to appear.

The imperfection could be exterior or interior,
it could be something you can correct
or it could be something you did and can’t forget.

The imperfection shines brighter on somebody else,
even though you have more to deal with,
you could be judgmental or critical
but deep inside you know love is unconditional.

Maybe saying, “I’m sorry” it’s mandatory,
coming from your conscious,
coming from your heart,
coming from your mind,
that you know you were wrong.

A lot of times people forget we're ONLY human, shit happens, and people make mistakes [Even those who are in the "spotlight"]. Don't be so quick to judge just because you think NO1 knows your dirt cause guess what? There's a higher POWER that knows ALL of what we do and what if he judged you??

For All We Know

2009-12-11T00:41:00.000-08:00

Donny Hathaway is my all-time favorite singer. I wish i could sing like him so bad! It started out with This Christmas [shoutout to daymechelle] but when i went to see Roll Bounce [don't dare judge me. the movie was good] this one song really stood out to me and it naturally became my second favorite Donny Hathaway song [nothing can beat This Christmas lol] but i can never find it on Youtube :(
[and Youtube has everything!] so if you can come across a legit version please check it out. it's such a gem. [check out the covers at your own risk...] if anyone so happens to come across a good version or an actual recording of the song i can put on this post, please do not hesitate to comment with that information. i truly do appreciate it.

emo

2009-12-11T00:21:00.000-08:00

i'm human. as often as i may live like i'm not. i am. and i'm an emotional human. no matter how nonchalant my demeanor may come off. and sometimes life just gets to me. not in a bad way. i gave up my emo/depressed ways a while back. but every now and then i get "drained". it might be constant dealings with an ex. or just time for a much needed break. whatever it may be i found that escaping into a world of music . [go figure lol] but i tend to gravitate towards slow music. a lot of people stay away from these types of songs during moments like this because they feel it might drag them deeper into their fun. not i. i have this weird appetite for emotion. and i tend to listen to these songs. no matter what their content/message and draw on the emotion behind the lyrics or vocals or harmonies or melodies or instruments. any and everything i can. and eventually i'm recharged. it's like hearing what others are going through. what they've been through. or how they feel. whether i relate or not. eases me in some way. i hope that's not taken in some weird way. but it is who i am. whatever the case may be. now that i've made absolutely no sense. i wanted to share a song with whoever comes across this posts. it's a bit of a listen. but worth it. i hope someone finds the time to enjoy it :)

[i wanna blog about the significance of Musiq Soulchild to me at some point]

what did we do again?

2009-12-06T23:03:00.000-08:00

i play video games. a lot. and i play them online. it's fun. i'm a nerd. a geek. a guy. loser. whatever you wanna call me. that's me. but the one thing i cannot stand when playing online is when i hear all this racism towards black people. and there's no real way you can tell what race/culture you're playing against [unless your name makes reference to it] so a lot of times these people are casually saying the most disrespectful things about black people without one possibly even playing against them. and it gets real unnecessary too. there are whole groups that play together just talking all kinds of sh*t. i swear i've heard some sh*t that will legit put you right back in that time of slavery. it's absolutely f*cking ridiculous. and what can anybody do about it??? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! and that pisses me off the most. i'm not racist. i may not refer to everybody in the politically correct way but i don't harbor any hidden resentments towards anybody. whatever feelings i may have towards someone is definitely based on the individual. not their race. not their culture. not their geographic location [because there's a whole bunch of anti-American talk on their too] nor any reference to their nationality or background. and unfortunately it's not just an international thing. there are people who clearly live in the USA that are online spewing all kinds of racist sh*t. i'm not asking for the red carpet treatment. i'm not asking for reparations or 40 acres and a mule. i'm just asking for the same thing EVERYBODY else wants. respect. is that honestly too much to ask? we have a black President. not for bragging rights. but as clear evidence that we as a people. we as a country. have come a long way since the days when slaves were shipped from Africa to all around the world. i myself want to travel the world. i want to see sh*t. i want to do sh*t. and your telling me i have to always keep my guards up because of the color of my skin? the way i talk? the way i walk? where i live? where i was born? how i look? with no respect for what i may have to offer? well i'll tell you this. as much as sh*t like this pisses me off. ima let it motivate me. my name is going to mean something before i'm done in this life. and every racist comment. every racist side glance [you know what i'm talkin about..] every disrespectful thing that i have ever experienced and will continue to experience [it's absolutely ridiculous that i had to say that] is only going to fuel the fire of success that burns inside of me. because see i strive to be more than what you make me out to be. i'm not just that NIGGA/NIGGER. i'm not someone's baby daddy. i'm not that brotha standin on the corner. I am Mychael Anthony Brown I. a young man trying to find his own way to transition into the adult world successfully. and either you're going to respect that or regret that. i'm done.

Excepting Christ

2009-12-05T16:20:00.000-08:00

This wednesday at 7pm I'm going to be getting Baptized:-) This will be the 2nd time but I think when your a child and your parents decide for you it doesn't count [it does tho] but I felt since I'm old enough to really understand religion and decide my own destiny there is NO better time to do so then now! These last few years have really brung me closer to GOD for soo many reasons but to be honest the reasoning was selfish on my part. Also it was a struggle keeping the FAITH with loved ones dying especially when they're young and doing positive things [it made me feel like I was going to be next] and then you start to question HIM, which they say your NOT suppose to do [I'm only human]. I was never really taught how to approach GOD or how to pray in terms of word usage and I'm still not sure if I got it right but I do know my prayers do get answered in some form or another [so maybe there is no wrong way]. However, during that time of selfishness, grief from losing people I love, and taking NO responsibility for Daynesha. I noticed somehow I forgot who was in control of this journey and it was time to reconnect with what I believe in and regain FAITH that was never really lost in the 1st place. Although, I'm not the every Sunday church going type and I don't have to be, but I do know what type of commitment I'm making and I won't lie, it won't be easy [what is?]. I look forward to what GOD has in-store for me and I continue to walk in FAITH!
**If ever you feel like I felt I hope this post will help you thru it all!**

P.S. If you don't BELIEVE in something you'll FALL for ANYthing.

Frustration

2009-12-03T11:53:00.000-08:00

Alot of things come wayyyy too easy for me. However, men seem to hide [well the decent ones who actually could have a chance]. I hate that all the men who want a chance aren't the ones that I like even a little bit LoL. For example, you know how they say all the ugly dudes are the BOLDEST dudes ever. They'll be 1st to ask you for your number, a dance, buy you a drink, etc. But the cuties they MUST think they too good. I'm here to tell ya YOUR NOT!! I've been single for a while now and it's funny how men think that try to "pursue" me. I won't go into detail but I will say you've all FAILED! I know I can be intimidating at times and extremely blunt but those are things I think men should appreciate. Older men do! Which brings me to my next point. Older men are mature already, they know how the game goes and they're so ready to sweep a young tender like myself off they feet. But here's the catch they probably got 2 and 3 baby mommas, still live at home with their mom, or they just too damn old lol. Ladies the saga continues until you find th@ 1.

Tis the Season

[This is what seals the deal for me...Thx Donny!]

Felt so Real...

2009-11-30T18:46:00.000-08:00

The feeling I got was like goose bumps from his fingers rolling down my back. Each of our lips connected and his tongue went down my chin, he reached the peak of my nipple and I instantly arched my back because the sensation became too much. Laying there I realized this was about to get WILD [not that I wasn't ready or couldn't handle it] before I could even say, "Are you ready for this". The dream Ended:-(

P.S. #FAIL

i am ready for love

2009-11-29T02:47:00.000-08:00

on my india irie sh*t. [lol] i have never felt this way before. so sure. there's something about my next relationship. it just feels like it's going to be super special. i don't have anyone in mind. [or maybe i do...] but that's not the kind of feeling i'm talking about. it's more so a feeling of confidence. because i've been through my share of relationships. i've broken hearts. i've had my heart broken. and i'm sure i haven't experienced the things others have gone through. but everyone's love story is different. and i know the passion i plan to put in my next relationship. the lessons learned. the different mindset. and i know i'm young but it's what i feel like doing. i have been intensely infatuated with love since birth. and i feel it's about time to embrace that like i've been longing to my whole life. i'm no skirt chaser. and yea i f*cked up in the past, but the type of girl that is affected by that isn't for me anyways. [You and Me - Musiq] i want to be enveloped in love. i'm ready to give all this love i have inside. and i'm definitely mature enough to receive it in return now. and we can definitely do everything the right way from jump. and communicate effectively along the way. and create our own beautiful world. and get lost in it. may seem impossible to some. if not most. but the girl who understands me is out there. and when we find each other...

im.such.a.hopeful.romantic.

This Is It - Michael Jackson

2009-11-26T23:08:00.001-08:00

i absolutely love this song! i was talking to my good friend Yogi yesterday and we were talking aboutour excitement for our next relationship and i realized i loved this song because of the story it tells. [i tend to live in a fantasy world when it comes to love...i like it better that way...] please enjoy it. [at least for Michael Jackson]

to show my appreciation

2009-11-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

Dear lady.

woman. sweetheart. baby. cutie. love. senorita. mademoiselle. and every other tender name ever created. i love you so strong it's ridiculous. i admit in the beginning i didn't appreciate you. i was young. forgive me. but now i see just how beautiful you are. how sweet and loving you are. and i want to do nothing but show you my appreciation. i'm trying to learn another language just to tell you how beautiful you are. i even call myself taking guitar lessons so i can write you a song saying how special you are to me. corny i know. but i can't help it. you do this to me. but i'm not complaining. i LOVE loving you. especially after starting off so wrong? oh how i would love the chance to show you that i can love you the right way. and since i can't be with you all i think i've come up with the perfect way to show you my appreciation. i am going to find a woman and love her SO right! i'm going to replace the "i" in my life with "we" and marry her. i vow to make her the happiest woman in the world. i'm going to be everything she needs and more. and we're going to raise a family the way we've always wanted to. we'll teach my boys to appreciate, love & respect women from the time they are born. we'll raise our girls as beautiful, respectable young women who appreciate men in the same respect. i know of nothing else i could possibly do to show you how much i cherish you.

je t'aime,

Its been soo long...

2009-11-18T16:58:00.000-08:00

Like thisismycool said its been a lot of sex & relationship talk throughout this blog and I'm totally fine with it and as the comments show y'all don't mind either [lol]. I feel talking about it is a way of excepting your not getting none or you simply just love the art. Whatever the case I'm here to tell ya it's been sooooooo long since I had that oh shit, DAMN! However, it's by choice. I'm not the casual sex type but I admit I've dabbed in it a few times [dnt judge!lol] but its nothing like having that bf to satisfy whenever needed. I've been in the single world for quite some time now, honestly longer than expected but I'm EXTREMELY picky when it comes to mine, so I'm not at all surprised. Lately, my hormones have been ridiculous! I feel like guys when they wake up with a hard on at times [no bullshit]. It's all good tho cause whenever I do release this tension it'll be something to remember at least I hope so lol. What if it was HORRIBLE?? No jinx!!

In my mind...

2009-11-16T18:01:00.000-08:00

so lately all my mind has been on is Sex & Relationships. i don't want people to get the wrong idea about me. i'm just keeping it 100. now it's started to bother me lately because whenever i come to blog all i'm thinking about is some Sex im not having or some Relationship i'm not in. And to be honest that bothered me. so on the way to work i got to thinking about what is going on with me. is it the season? i mean since the youngest age these thoughts and ideas have always been in my mind [dont judge me] but i was feeling bad because it seemed like that was all i had come to be about. Sex & Relationships. and being that this is a blog of Eccentric Souls i feel like it would be unfair if that was truly what i was all about. again. so i got to thinking. and i realized that my mind often times focuses on what's missing in my life. when i wasn't in school and unemployed [all through my old blog] that's all that was on my mind. the fate of my future. financial situations. all of that. but now i'm in school and working. so those voids are filled. but now that i'm single and not having sex, my thoughts that i usually keep in the back of my mind are now pushing their way to the front by any means necessary. so until those voids are filled...lol. but i'm not about to blog about any sexual experiences or give details about all the sh*t i may go through in any future relationship(s). [now if it's a crazy *ss sexual experience i just might have to.] over my time spent on these social networking sites and blogging i've learned that those types of things should stay in private. especially if any parties or familiar faces and friends can access such information from these sites. granted i may mean things to come off one way, who is to say how someone else may take it. and the last thing i want or need again is someone taking my words and throwing them in others face in a hurtful way. [yes. it has happened before to me.] well now that everyone knows what's in store, i hope the results of my nonexistent sex life entertain you :)

Dondria's Duets

2009-11-16T16:15:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure if every1 is up on being a LIFER, but if your not I'm sure you'll start. Lifers are ppl who live they life [duh lol] but it came from tuning into Jermaine Dupre's episodes of "living the life"on youtube. To make a long story short JD is bringing this new artist out by the name of Dondria. Now I know alot of ppl are a little skeptical about new music cause you've been let down in the past few months [lol]. I'm here to tell you Dondria has a future in music but I'm still not too sure how far she'll actually go. This mixtape that dropped on the 6th intitled 'Dondria Duets' and its full of hot R&B tracks like i invented sex, pretty wings, breakup, lovers & friends and a whole lot more. Dondria brings her beautiful voice and her female perspective to each song. Well here's the link click for a sample and to download check out global14.com

I Look Good - Chalie Boy

2009-11-14T18:59:00.000-08:00

this came on while i was gettin ready to go to this kickback. put me in a good mood. let's see what the night brings...

Close - Tank

2009-11-13T00:11:00.000-08:00

so all these thoughts about sex has got me wondering: in my sexual absence, am i going to be ready when the opportunity is right? i won't say "...when the opportunity arises..." because this is by choice. i choose who i have sex with. and everyone isn't a winner. but as these thoughts kept going around my head a song came to mind:

Break You Off

Woman

2009-11-12T23:34:00.001-08:00

so i've been in the mood lately. ima be honest. it's been a while since i've gotten laid. kind of by choice tho. but still. my mind has been in the most freakiest of places lately. my mind is already in the gutter. but don't judge me. i just like sex. it's just something about a female. the warmth of their skin. the softness of their lips. i love every part of a woman. eyes. back. breast. hips. lips. thighs. calves. arms. stomach. cheeks. feet. soul. mind. voice. i could hold a woman for hours. and make love to you for days. f*ck what other people think. woman. i am into you. i'm trying to get tangled in some sheets with you sweetheart. lay on my chest as i rub your back. and please excuse my hands if they gravitate towards your waist. would you think it rude if i wanted to know how you taste? [believe it or not i wasnt trying to rhyme. but don't hate because i did.] and i love to tease. to watch a woman react to my every kiss. every lick. every bite. every caress. mmm mmm mmm. and in the heat of the moment. when our eyes are locked. and our souls are in sync. maybe it's just me. but it turns me on more to see you bite your lip. as your hands run wild all over my body. you're just turning me on even more. i cant help but have you in every position. i love it when you're on top. and when i hit it from the back. i just have to spank it one good time. you've probably been bad anyway. i love to make you cum. it's my favorite past time. maybe i'll slip my hand under your skirt when no one else is looking. i don't mean to tease you. it just means you're on my mind ;) and the things i want to do to you... put on this blindfold. relax. and enjoy the ride. and that's the beginning. when you cum at least twice...

whoa. that got real inappropriate. my bad.
i'm a freak.
may not work for everybody.
but i'll find someone who will appreciate this.
...right?

Thank You

2009-11-12T23:26:00.000-08:00

we truly do appreciate all the love you guys show us. whether it's through comments or personal hit ups. a lot of this is some sort of venting. [even if we let our imagination get the best of us sometimes lol] but at the end of the day we're just trying to showcase the beauty of everyday words that many overlook by painting the most vivid of pictures. [or at least we try] and succeed orfail. you guys always seem to show some love and support when it counts the most. and just as a blogger. personally. the comments are always encouraged. we appreciate all past, present and future visitors [spread the word] and we hope you continue to enjoy our blog.

THANK YOU

"Since I Seen't You"

[Verse 1]
You're 'bout the flyest thang that life could ever bring
Like fresh air to me the blood I bleed sent to me
And I want, wanna build with you

[Chorus]
Since I seen't you, we've been peoples, your're my equal
This love is see through I want to Keep you
I want to be with you

[Verse 2]
Your're like the softest cloud a virgin in my eye
An angel just my size
Wish that I could fall in love with you again
And I wanna build with you

[Chorus]
Since I seen't you, we've been peoples, your're my equal
This love is see through I want to Keep you
I want to be with you

Your conversation is liberating, when we're relating it's a vacation.
Like recreation, I want my way with you

Ever since the day you walked into my life
I've never been the same then and not again
I hope and pray to God that you stay awhile
..........with me and....

car sex

2009-11-04T00:22:00.000-08:00

[viewer/reader discretion advised]

i love car sex. or more so. i appreciate it. you know d*mn well you got it poppin in the car too! that sh*t was super convenient when you couldn't get a spot. i mean. i dig the whole bedroom or living room or family room or whatever room you choose to use. and the hotel thingy. even the beach thingy. but there's something about car sex that holds a special place in my heart lol. oh the thrill of getting caught! [depending on where you parked] maybe it's just me but car sex seems to be amongst the most passionate of sex there is. i mean there's not much to distract you inside the car. especially if you TRYNA get it poppin. you clear everything out the way! and it's just you. and them. [whoever that person may be for you] and some good ol sweaty sex. [...or maybe you really not tryna gettin it poppin. sad face for you.] i'm tryna f*ck up some hair when it comes to car sex. i know that's f*ck up to the girl. but she had to have known what she was gettin herself into beforehand lol. im tryna have that sh*t jumpin and squeakin and rockin and disturbin the peace and alla that sh*t. why not? i bet the neighbors know my name. [shout out to @SongzYuuup] lol i'm being flooded with memories that are a bit much too even put in this post so ima wrap it up here. [no pun. but WRAP-IT-UP via BET] and if you haven't had car sex. get you some. if it's been a while. fix that.

i was feelin old school today...

2009-11-03T20:16:00.000-08:00

im thinking there should be a male version of this song...

my ideal girl...

2009-11-03T18:44:00.000-08:00

so today i got to thinking about my ideal girl. please don't misunderstand this post. these are just the thoughts that ran across my mind when i was thinking about my ideal girl...

she couldn't be 1 dimensional. her beauty alone would be absolutely amazing. but her intelligence and maturity would be just as amazing if not more. i'm not asking for a supermodel. i'm not asking for a doctor. but a woman who understands there is no reason to mask her natural beauty with make up. don't get me wrong. i understand how make up can enhance natural beauty. but trust me baby when i say, you don't need it. she can hold her own. her style, her grace, her swagger. is like no other. because it's natural. she is who many try to be. original. willing to lounge around the house with me in some basketball shorts and a shirt on a lazy sunday watching football. [and she tries her best to get into the game with me] a girl who can throw on a dress and some heels and turn heads. our sexual chemistry would always seem to be @ it's peak. this relationship isn't based solely on sex at all. but we can't seem to keep our hands off each other. constantly flirting. teasing. pleasing. she's my girl, so she comes first. and then i'll follow. [keep your mind out the gutter...] she can cook. but so can i. and what we both can't, we'll learn. if not from each other. together. and that's the attitude we carry throughout life as well. we motivate each. we inspire each other. she's my ride or die. and i got her back just the same. she knows everything about me. and i, everything about her. we may have come up separately. but we share the same core values. and this bond is impossible to break. we don't have to always have something to say to the other. the company is enough at times. we argue. but we never fight. we disagree. but we're never over. our relationship is a soulful one. music. love. laughter. the perfect tag team. we're addicted to each other...

...just my thoughts. a combination of all of my favorite qualities i've seen women display. maybe this is just a fantasy. but we're all entitled to our own dreams right? well let's just say this is one i can't help but wish it comes true...

Emerald

2009-11-01T22:10:00.000-08:00

meet Emerald. my very first car. [he best '92 Toyota Camry ever made. ever!] *tear* i miss her so much! I LOVED HER SO MUCH! and she loved me right back. even when she broke down every now and then. it wasn't her fault. it was mine. i should have taken better care of her. but she knew she was my first. i think she was my first love. she represents a major point in my life. that was the first car i had sex in. and i had some really amazing sex back there. [well all over actually...;)] i had the dark tint all around. i had a nice lil CD player system with some questionable but good beat. [my first car. dont judge me.] and when i was finally able to drive to school! i was the man! so many memories: my first date being able to drive. my first ticket. my first race. my first accident. my first flat. and the sex was amazing! what about driving the freeway for the first time. driving to the beach. and wherever else i was confident she could go. i wish i could go outside and hug her right now :(. she's gone now. she was getting old. barely staying alive for me anymore. it doesnt matter how many cars i end up having in my lifetime. no car will ever compare to my dear Emerald. i really wish i could have her back now :(

unattended

2009-10-30T01:36:00.001-07:00

so ive been single for a while now. but i really started stepping out into this 'single' world just over these last couple of months. i had been in relationships continuously for a long time so it was kind of weird to transition back into this. i was definitely used to the calls. the attention. the ability to go over a boo's house and cuddle and watch tv and alla that. that sh*t kiiiiinda just stops when you're legit single. [found that out the hard way...] and i don't mean the single where you're 'kinda talkin' to someone or in a relationship with 'no titles'. im talkin legit clean slate single lol. now i'll admit that i dont have the cleanest past with my relationships. ive done my dirt and paid the price several times. [dont judge me by the mistakes of my past. they do not predict the actions of my future.] but i was young and dumb. and im not saying i have things all figured out right now. but then again, i dont think im supposed to at 22. i acknowledge that my past relationships have been the most amazing learning experiences ever. and with that being said. ive chosen to take this time and learn a bit more about women. i guess you can say im trying to figure out how they work [good luck with that right?] and so far there has been one situation that im finding out seems to be quite common. i referred to it as "unattended woman syndrome". hear me out. it's just identifying a woman within a relationship who is feeling unappreciated or in some cases disrespected. while giving her all in the relationship, he's barely trying to match her effort. he's not appreciating the little things she's doing to provide happiness for him. i could go on forever with this but the fact of the matter is: these dudes out here are leaving their women unattended. and there are so many [good] dudes out there willing to treat them right and appreciate everything they have to offer. and if you don't wake up soon. she's gonna leave you. so i wanted to send a message to all the fellas out there who aren't truly appreciating these beautiful women for who they are. but it looks somebody beat me to it...

What a Boyfriend Should do...

2009-10-29T22:35:00.000-07:00

Ladies I know it's times where you expect a Man to know what to do when you're sad, wanna be held, mad, tryin to be playful, in need, etc. But usually if you aren't upfront about what you want they'll NEVER know. Men aren't mind readers nor are they gonna beg to know what's going on with you. Not saying that they don't care but they simply just don't communicate like us. So I decided to help you guys out in certain circumstances. However, this may not work for every1 but I'm almost certain the ladies will agree. To be completely honest these are things that I wish would've happen while I was in relationships with boys [yeah i said boys cause they weren't at all men yet] but it didn't happen for a reason [growth]. Also men feel free to let me know how you feel about what is ask'd of you....Here we goo!!

When she walks away from you mad
(Follow her)
When she stares at your mouth
(Kiss her)
When she pushes you or hit’s you
(Grab her and don’t let go)
When she starts cussing at you
(Don’t cuss back and make her feel worse,just deal with it for the time being)
When she’s quiet
(Ask her what’s wrong,but not a billion times when she says nothing)
When she ignores you
(Give her your attention)
When she pulls away
(Pull her back)
When you see her at her worst
(Tell her she’s beautiful)
When you see her start crying
(Just hold her and don’t say a word)
When you see her walking
(Sneak up and hug her waist from behind)
When she’s scared
(Protect her)
When she lay’s her head on your shoulder
(Tilt her head up and kiss her)
When she steals’s your favorite shirt
(Let her keep it)
When she tease’s you
(Tease her back and make her laugh)
When she doesn’t answer for a long time
(Reassure her that everything is okay)
When she looks at you with doubt
(Back yourself up)
When she say’s that she like’s you
(She really does more than you could understand, completely true)
When she grabs at your hands
(Hold hers and play with her fingers)
When she tells you a secret
(Keep it safe and untold)
When she looks at you in your eyes
(Don’t look away until she does)
When she misses you
(She’s hurting inside)
When you break her heart
(The pain never really goes away)
When she says its over
(She still wants you to be hers)

I Respect the Struggle...

2009-10-28T10:35:00.000-07:00

I was up lastnite writing [as i do every night it seems like] about all types of shit. I found myself writing about the struggle tho, it was one of those moments where you just let the pen and your hand run thru the paper, after your hand gets tired you read over what u got and HOPE its something worth sharing. Funny part is I still don't think its worth sharing even after i made it into a poem and gave it a title [LoL]. But I say what the hell I'll let the readers be the judge!

"Keep in mind that I'm sensitive about my shit!"--Badu

I Respect the struggle

I Strive to prevail

I try to stop wondering what’s fake or real.

I Respect the hustle

I can not fail I’m on my feet

letting my spirit set sail.

I Respect the hard times

For what they are worth

They teach me a lot but they indeed do hurt.

I Respect the real and ignore the fake

The fake will take what I worked hard to make.

I Respect the wise

For they know wisdom

when they breathe no longer I do not forget them.

I Respect the game

Even if i don’t win

I have to learn to lose in order to win.

I Respect the dignity

That no one can take I’m strong sooo i won’t break.

I Respect the process of life it’s self

whether poor or rich Life is a gift

But when it get’s hard it’s almost cursed.

I Respect the rewards for working hard

But I wont let that taint who I am.

I Respect the struggle of Life

a bitter sweet curse but i can turn that around

and make it a blessing in the works.

This is the end of my bitter sweet words.

I want a love like...

2009-10-25T19:35:00.000-07:00

PABLO NERUDA! Yes, I said I want a love like him. Why? Because of this poem...

If You Forget Me

I want you to know one thing.
You know how this is:
if i look at the crystal moon,
at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch near the fire the impalpable ashor the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly you forget me do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners that passes through my life,
and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots,
remember that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land.

But if each day,

each hour,

you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness,

if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me,

ah my love,

ah my own,

in me all that fire is repeated,

in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,my love feeds on your love, beloved,and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine.

I know after reading it seems impossible right? I believe my Pablo is out there. KEEP HOPE ALIVE!! LOL

Ready?

2009-10-14T12:51:00.000-07:00

Rain:)

2009-10-14T12:44:00.000-07:00

I don't know about ya'll but the rain is my friend...it makes everything feel soft and snugg. It's the season that brings all the old/new boos round [even tho u dnt want them lol] and it makes SLEEP sooooooooo much better. For some reason I always want to dance, walk, & talk in the rain. Fall, our relationship is GREAT! You never let me down, I thank you!!

Open Your Eyes

2009-10-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

so i have this crush.
and she is just dope as can be.
perfect in so many ways.
but we met under some unique circumstances.

well maybe the circumstances were unique because ive never met anyone like you.
you had this way about you.

and we got to know each other really well by mistake.
it was never intentional for us to connect on the level we did.

but maybe that's how these things are supposed to happen.

i probably sound crazy.
and i apologize.
i just wish i had the chance to tell you how i feel.

you are beautiful.
inside and out.
your intelligence astounds me.
i said. you are beautiful sweetheart.
in every single way this man could want you to be.
you would never even have to beg me to stay.
because you and only you have made me feel this way.
in such a short period of time.
you know my most persoal flaws.
more than you could ever truly understand.
and i long to know.
if i've changed my ways.
and now know where i go wrong.
could my pains become my joys.
because you recognize the man i've grown to be.
then can i finally treat you like my Queen.
and i; your King.

have you not heard that Usher?! you are seriously slippin if you haven't! i'm a huge fan of lyrics and emotion [that's why i love R&B and poetry] and this song is overwhelming with both! i plan on breaking down some lyrics in here so please turn away if you are not ready to hear what Usher has to say this time around...

now this dude is notorious for relationship songs. actually his albums have become intensely influenced by his personal experiences. and to be honest that makes them all the more enjoyable. people really relate to the honesty in people's lyrics. now i'm not currently going through anything like this myself BUT, just as everyone else, there are some super intense lyrics in here that i can relate to on some level. and i just wanted to point out some that really stood out to me. the quotes will be in different colors. let's get started. can't. get to work on time. can't believe the words to her that i just said. but who the hell argue and fight like dogs at 6 in the mornin?! i know it's gonna be some more sh*t toniiiiight. oh! Usher spits that real sh*t. you telling me you never had that random argument that started late and somehow ended going on until some early hours of the morning??? then you end up being late for work or school because you got some bullsh*t *ss sleep. and that sh*t seemed to only end because you're tired and didn't want to argue anymore so you could go to sleep [no? just me?]. and like he said. you just knew there was going to be some more sh*t waiting for you that night! ugh. for you i gave my heart and turned my back against the world. 'cause you were my girl. girl. girl. i don't d*mn near lost my momma. i done been through so much drama. i done turned into the man i never thought i'd be. i'm ready to sign them papers. papers. papers. [i done took all i can take but you leave me no options girl] i can't deny how much i love you. i done gave up everything i had to. as hard as it is i'm afraid i gotta say... if you ever. ever. EVER find yourself turning your back against the world for your relationship: you probably need to make that come to an end. like seriously. it probably won't work out for the both of you. neither should ever feel nor promote that. in a relationship you are supposed to be a team. an unstoppable force. there should be love. support. and most of all encouragement to go out in the world and represent your relationship by being successful in all aspects of social and professional life. [just me again?] and to d*mn near lose your momma?! i don't know about anybody else but i love my momma to death. yea, i'm a mommas boy. but that's because she's all i have ever had my whole life. my daddy was killed when i was 2. AND i had an abusive step-father. [oh i'm not afraid to get personal lol] so my momma has raised me through some hard times and i appreciate her for that. but to be honest. i have never been in that type of relationship. plus my mom is too cool for alla that. if you can't get along with my mom then i probably shouldn't be with you. just puttin that out there...but the most intense part in here is when he says he's reached his limit and is left with no other option but to bring it too an end. d*mn. a divorce no less! bringing any real relationship to an end means a lot of sh*t happened. or at least whatever happened weighed heavy on someone's mind. and that's completely understandable. sometimes you can't accurately weigh how your actions may affect your partner. i guess that's where that good ol' communication comes in huh? and in the end when someone has really reached their limits and has to call it a quits, that doesn't mean they love you any less. i know personally if/when it gets THAT bad to where lyrics to a song like this are accurately telling our story. i would much rather be able to salvage a friendship out of respect for the connection we shared than be at odds for no useful reason for however long we hold onto a "bad break-up". i'm losing my mind. cant figure out who's wrong or right. i know it's you i love. but i also know it's you i don't like. i love you but i don't like you. we've been there. it sucks. but you can't deny the contradiction of your emotions. even when it doesn't make sense at all lol. i'm tired of sleepin' in the other room spending them long nights tryna figure out what in the hell in my heart i ain't do right. for you i gave my heart and turned my back against the world... maybe you haven't been in the other room. but you ever been in bed and sleeping on clear opposite sides of the bed. just NOT cuddling or rolling over each other or something?! how about when you're trying to figure out where the argument came from when you ain't been doing NOTHING BUT RIGHT! [i feel like more dudes can relate to me on that one..]

look. at the end of the day NO ONE knows the perfect recipe for success in a relationship without trial and error. but it's about the compromise. the communication. the patience. a genuine appreciation of what you both bring to the table. and fun. when it's all said and done you should be smiling about the memories instead of crying or being angry. but unfortunately we tend to be too young to understand that before it's too late. but every thing happens for a reason. so every relationship. every heartache. every heartbreak. it leads to a better you. not a beaten or broken you. and you should never ever settle for less. but now that i've completely ruined the song for you lol:

thank you, thank you. you're far too kind...

2009-10-12T01:55:00.000-07:00

so i don't know about you. but i'm tha sh*t at parallel parking. now i admit. that sh*t ain't always as easy as you would like. and this d*mn F150 [a random decision @ a stoopit moment...] don't make it NO easier! but i tell you WHat! i'm the sh*t when it comes to parallel parking! i swear to it. its an art. you just know when you can. but anyways. so that becomes a really intense victory for me. fist pump worthy if i say so myself. [do you enter "pause" here?] but i'm sure you all love that joy. unless you have half a car. cause then you're pretty much always str8. no. im not jealous or anything. just stating the facts. [...i mean they are FACTS...] but now this feels ridiculous and i just wanna say i'm the sh*t @ parallel parking. [it IS the little things that count the most lol...where is your mind @ and why?]

real sh*t

2009-10-11T03:42:00.001-07:00

i keep it as real as possible on this here blog. but this might be a little too real for some. so ONLY read if you ready for that real sh*t. judge me if you want. this is me.

i'm a closet freak who is tired of being in the closet! now i'm not tryna be all out and about throwin my goodness all over the place. [been there. done that. i'm good lol :)] but all the girls i've gotten into serious relationships with have put me in a position where i felt i would be disrespecting them if i was more verbal about my sexuality. and i totally understand the reasoning behind it. i'm all for the "lady/gentleman in the streets, freak in the sheets". let's just say i've tried to hide this and i can't live like that anymore! i came across a blog earlier [yes you!] that seemed to awaken the sleeping beast inside of me. [lol] now i don't mean for that to come across too intensely but it is what it is. i enjoy sex very much. as i would imagine many do. and i really can't get with holding my tongue any more. i'm a freak. real sh*t. you really don't have to believe me. i actually prefer that you don't. all i know is i'm definitely into a female getting hers before i even attempt to get mines. real sh*t, some times i will take care of her and be fine with that. sex is more than just about me getting mines. that's d*mn near inevitable. for me, it's more about me tryna see how much she can handle [too much??? turn away now] i have no problem handling mine. i'm a man. and i'm down to please my woman. and they tend to be happier for it. so for all of you brothas who don't go down on your girl. [and random jump-offs DO NOT count!] you're asking for a brotha like me to come along and take them! [not that i'm into that @ all though. i respect relationships from both perspectives. being on the inside and out] because there are dudes out there just waiting to find simple *ss dudes like you slippin! but i feel like i've gotten off track lol. anyways. i'm awake now. and to you who inadvertently inspired slash awakened me. thank you! thank you sooooo much. [please stay anonymous] i hate sitting back trying to be the nice guy all the time. i have nothing but good intentions. but i can't deny my sexuality. it wouldn't be me. so for those of you who know me. those of you who don't know me. those of you who thought you knew me. surprise! [lol] take me as i am. i get down with the romance and comedy and deep intellectual stuff all the way. but i'm about my sh*t. not arrogance. not cockiness. but confidence. [old post] pretty much i'm acknowledging myself as a total package. and this sexual side has been hidden for quite some time so it's going to be interesting to see what happens now. again. you. thank you! [lol]

Hopeless...

2009-10-10T02:59:00.000-07:00

remember this kind of love?

i'm ready

2009-10-09T20:40:00.000-07:00

i'm ready. for a while now i've been developing my thoughts around the man i want to be. in all aspects. friends. family. professional. public. private. and i'm done just thinking about it. i'm through with just talking about it. it's definitely time to be about it. and i'm ready. i acknowledge the fact that everything is a work in progress. and i recognize that all the bumps and bruises along the way will be apart of my continuous growth towards my ultimate goals.

i ran into an old friend today at the barbershop and right off the back i could see time had done him well. fresh suit. beaming with confidence. he's older and everything but it was still amazing to see where he is right now in his life. and as the conversation we were having continued on it was even more of a treat to hear his future plans. i truly do wish the best of luck to him. he's definitely headed on the right path. but it got me thinking about myself. now it's taken me a while to find my "passion". i was never into school or college much at all and spent a lot of time wasting time. but talking to this dude and sharing my own progress and goals and things of that nature gave me a sense of pride i guess i had kind of ignored for a little bit. granted i didn't need any approval from anyone on my goals to feel validated, hearing from this guy who grew up in the same hood i found myself hanging out in when i moved to California, and see him make it out and have business in the State Legislature [right?!] was very inspirational. and for him to applaud the efforts i've been making and the strides i've been taking to reach my goals was quite a humbling experience.

i'm going to be a history professor at the college level. almost a year ago i realized that my major of interest is history. because everyone's history ties into each others. a victory. a fail. an alliance. it all relates somehow. but i believe that it will ultimately give people a greater sense of where they can go and what they can do knowing the history of their people or their country. in a sense, where they have been and what they have been through. i do however plan to focus on African-American history. because i feel like that's the best opportunity for me to reach the unattended of a generation. i work at a continuation school in Compton, California and it is a heartbreaking experience to see such a population of a generation so unmotivated and uninspired while we have a Black President in The United States of America. i mean seriously! President Barack Obama is among the biggest inspirations for me when it comes to taking school as well as life decisions a bit more seriously. and i feel like presenting the history prior to such monumental moments as the Presidential Election of 2008 will give all races and cultures inspiration to make a difference in whatever way they can. because to understand the history of slavery and to see a President Barack Obama around the world representing the United States of America AND just being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" is absolutely amazing. there is no way you can stop me now! and it's this sense of pride i plan to share with as many students as i can as a Professor of History. and although i plan on focusing on African-American history, being a history professor, i will be able to provide as much assistance as possible in helping motivate all other cultures and races as well. i also plan on working with inner-city youth programs like the one i work for now to provide all kinds of further assistance in the most needy of areas. like i said before. i'm ready.

the conversation also included my barber who was willing to come to the school and cut hair for free just to have a chance to talk to these kids and help provide whatever motivation he can. and just seeing how he and my friend were so willing to help the cause. to see how willing they were to assist me in working against the odds just refueled my spirits. i have to admit, i had kind of lost a bit of inspiration letting my thoughts get to me: thinking i was too far behind being that i got serious later than others. feeling like my goals were unattainable. but i'm ready. it's definitely the right time to get more focused in school and hurry up and transfer so i can do some damage. i'm hungry to taste this life that i know is just waiting for me. it may sound crazy but i can feel that this is my calling. no matter how i may fall back or start to lose interest, something ALWAYS keeps pulling me back. whether it's random run-ins like this. or something on the news. or something at my school. or reading a blog about someone else realizing there passion. i just feel like this was meant for me. i've been through more than anyone could ever really imagine i have. but i'm sure everyone feels like that to some extent. and rightfully so. but it all leads to something. and i realize that all my ups and downs, twists and turn arounds have led me to this. this life. i'm ready.

and although i focused on my career goals in this blog post, i'm ready for so much more in all aspects of my life. i can't keep delaying things until i "feel" like i'm ready. i have to be ready at all times. failure is inevitable. but it's how you come back. how you grow. what you learn. there is no success without failure. i once read/heard the key to success is to not be afraid of failure. and i am no longer afraid of failure. i'm ready to succeed. i really hope others are as well. it's getting to be that point in life where we as a young generation NEED to start being able to live in this world and help make a difference. help make some long overdue changes. i refuse to not be apart of the success of my generation. and i plan to help guide the next generation towards their own avenues of success just as the generations ahead have helped me. i can't stress it any stronger. i am ready!

It's a small WORLD after all...

2009-10-09T14:40:00.000-07:00

How does it feel to be caught up in a world where everybody knows somebody that links back to YOU? I know if not everyone that reads this has a story or knows someone that dealt with a circle of friends who were attracted to a person in another circle and that's how it started. But how did it end? Well here's the thing...Why do we date someone then feel obligated to hook the homie up with his/her friend? I think thats the 1st mistake for soo many reasons, mainly because your always going to hear something (bad or good) from each of them because you linked them together. So then when neither of those "relationships" work you move on to the next right? RIGHT!! The next happens to be cool with someone else you know or close too so the cycle continues...Before you know it you've been with about 4 people whom where all linked in some kind of way. How do you break free??

I know alot of times its NEVER on purpose that you fall for your ex's friend or associate, it just happens! Females have created this unwritten rule that you just dont date, have sex with, or even think about someone we've had dealings with PERIOD!! However, not every female agrees with th@ because of different circumstances in their eyes. Males usually see it as ya girl was on me so I did what any guy would do and he takes ol girl down. For me it's all HIGH SCHOOL!!! No really because most of the people you've encountered in your life was through high school [tell me I'm lying].

Personally I won't EVER deal with someone in the "circle" again (yes I said again) cause it's hard enough finding someone outside the "circle" that has No ties whatsoever to the "circle" lol. You gotta be selfish when it comes down to really being serious about he or she. Cause if you don't you'll just find yourself saying, "its a small WORLD after all" while shaking your head.

~ I need feedback on this so plz comment, agree to disagree. Whatever u like lol.

Sex

2009-10-08T23:20:00.000-07:00

I know some of you lit up when you seen SEX, huh? Thought to yourself, 'thats a must read' LOL! Naw but really lets get into it (sex talk). I was reading this book about this spiritual connection type stuff that makes peoples' sex drive go thru the roof. Which made me think about how nowadays you don't even need a connection, except for physically to get you some. Not saying it's something wrong with that (i dnt judge) but I prefer more than just the physical aspect of things. Don't get me wrong it's been a time where I decided taken him down was definitely going to happen regardless cause baby was just that FINE! lol

Lastnight on twitter alot of the ppl I follow had this #twitterafterdark trending topic going on and I MUST say it was FUN and REAL. Just tweeting about the things we like while having or before sex. We talked about oral, foreplay, porn, etc. You name it we pretty much covered it. So here's where I start getting into more serious questions...As an adult you realize it's time to find that special someone and potentially develop a relationship, right?? How do you go about doing that given what all males/females have experienced in y'all day and age? Meaning the people in your "circle" or outside of the circle has at least experienced someone or something near you. You get my drift?? [someone knows someone that you been with if they haven't been with them too]. Which brings me to my next blog...

a little something to enjoy

now yall know i play it like a pro in the game...

2009-10-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

so i've been doing this bloggin thing for a bit. a while back my friend Hamilton started his blog and i came across Kanye West's blog and they both inspired me to start blogging. now it's been a while since i been on my first blog. but i reactivated so i can post a link to this one and someone took the opportunity to check it out [you just keep rockin' wit cha bad self!] and it kind of made me look back @ my old posts. please don't take this the wrong way: but i wrote some good stuff! i reread some of the things i wrote and instantly jumped into that very moment. i smiled. i frowned. got a little angry. laughed. it was a crazy little ride. but that's a secret motive behind me bloggin so much. i don't expect everyone to feel me on everything. but i figure this stuff is going to be lost in cyberspace @ some point. and generations are going to go by and someone just might discover my blogs. and just imagine how they would feel to come across some blog posts of mine that they related to 300 years later??? crazy right?! i'm definitely aiming to make a some sort of name for myself in my lifetime [different post. different time ;)] but i don't disregard the idea that whatever i do in my life has the ability to live on forever is possible. maybe i'm a bit crazy for that. but it makes me appreciate life and the things that occur in my life that much more as well as take more pride in what i do and what effect i have on the world. don't get me wrong. i'm a work in progress [;)] but look out for me. i got plans. with that being said i just wanted to post a few links to some old posts i revisited and figured some might enjoy:

how does it happen?
on my mind
friends...part deux
happiness
good guy
gettin' my 3 L's on
kiss me in the morning
i'm talking to me in the mirror...
take me as i am
the point of it all
forgive & forget
heavenly
i give you my soul
you amazing creatures you!
well isn't this awkward...
let's be real

those may be a bit much to read all in one sitting but by all means pick and choose. revisit. there's some good stuff in there. i promise. reading those posts kind of renewed a bit of my passion for words and blogging so hopefully i'll be able to bring that over here. please enjoy and don't be afraid to give any/all feedback. let's talk about it :)

Reminder of how blessed I am.

2009-10-07T15:45:00.000-07:00

Life...ups, downs, smiles, and frowns. But even after the very horrible or very happy moments we still realize how blessed we are. Well at least those who have hearts. I can NEVER understand why people take peoples lives but it happens for a reason. Reasons we can NEVER truly pinpoint. This story on the Billings has definitely touched my heart and I hope it touched or touchs y'all too. The tradegy happen this past summer and after all the stuff that I thought that I went through couldn't get any worse, I realize there are 9 special needs kids without parents and they really have NO clue as to why? how? who? So when I decide to complain or think that my problems are soo BIG, I'm now reminded that i'm not at all alone. No matter what we have something to be thankful for because we're still breathing, It's a BLESSING!!!!

[ The story of Billings Murder]

"One moment, they were sleeping peacefully in their Florida home. The next, they were innocent victims of a methodical murder plot.

On July 9, 2009, gunmen broke into Melanie and Byrd "Bud" Billings' home and killed them while they lay in bed. Bud was shot six times, and Melanie took five bullets to the chest, face and head.

Melanie and Bud weren't the only ones at home that night. Nine adopted children with special needs, members of the Billingses' large, loving family, were sleeping nearby.

Ashley Markham, their 27-year-old daughter who lives outside the home, remembers the day vividly. "I called the house about 7:30, and that's when Jacob answered," she says. "Jacob was very distraught."

Then, Jacob, Ashley's 10-year-old adopted brother with Down syndrome, handed the telephone to his autistic sister, Adrianna, who told Ashley their parents were laying on the floor.

Confused and scared, Ashley called 911 while she drove to her parents' house. "I remember pulling up outside the fence, and the yard was taped off," she says. "There were so many police officers, and nobody knew what was going on."

Further investigation led to a chilling discovery. The security cameras Melanie and Bud had installed to watch over their adopted children caught the moments before the murders on tape". (via Oprah.com)

P.s. Also if you go to Oprah.com you can get more on the story and the trust they have for the childern, if you CAN donate. Thx Loves!!

I'm a Tweeter. R u??

2009-10-05T22:37:00.000-07:00

Twitter! thee most AWESOME way of communication since cell phones. I mean you can do soo much in 140 characters or less. Piss sum1 off, make sum1s day, bring awareness too, twitpic , twitvid, etc. You have those other sites to like uhm...dang I can't even think of them, uh.....Oh yeah facebook, myspace, skype etc. that did the "job" for the moment but then they died out. I personally dont think twitter will die down because you have your A-listers and alot(if not all) of America tweeting. Really your getting all you want right from the source if they have a twitter page, what more could you ask for?? TWITTER U ROCK!!

P.s. Follow @daymechelle and @thisismycool thx!

just an Imaginary friend...

2009-10-05T22:34:00.000-07:00

I don't know my real name.
But he called me Mikey. He is Stanley. And I, am his imaginary friend.
Or at least I used to be...
It's kind of like he doesn't see me anymore.
I mean, no one else really did. But that was fine for the both of us.
This one time we almost thought his mom saw me!
But it just turned out to be a shadow...
I remember he cried that night.
But that wasn't the first time.
I think that was when his dad left.
Now that I think of it, he cried a lot.
His brothers could be so mean! They almost never played with him.
And when they did, they just tortured him until he cried.
I guess that's where I came in...
Oh we played all the time!
My favorite game was when we would pretend to be warriors in a forgotten kingdom.
Oh and when we would save the princess from the dragon's cave!
Wanna know something?
He was my first real friend.
My only friend now that I think of it...
See, we imaginary friends don't really get a say in this life of ours. If you could even call it that.
We are created by and for our "real" friends. Everything that could ever want and need in a friend.
Sweet deal huh? It works out pretty well for us too! [LoL]
Or at least it did for me.
Me and Stanley had some great adventures...
What I wouldn't give to go on one last Space Mission.
[looks to the sky] FLY ME TO THE MOON!!!
...
I don't really know where I go now.
I don't know what I do now.
Oh Stanley has all kinds of friends now.
Sure, I'm still around.
But like I said, it's like he doesn't see me anymore...
Every time he burst through his door I can't help but jump for joy thinking he's ready to save the world again!
But he just tosses his backpack on the bed and runs outside to play with his "real" friends.
He didn't ask me to come along so I just sit by the window and watch.
Hoping that every time he comes near he'll see his good ol' friend Mikey and ask me to come out and play...
I know I can't stay here forever.
But where does an imaginary friend go when he's not a friend anymore?

okay, so i randomly found myself wondering how imaginary friends felt when they lost their "real" friends. and I thought about writing about it. and a friend told me i should. so i did. i don't really have things planned out when i type. i just put my fingers to the keys and let them dance their hearts out. so i did that with this too. and this is what happened. i apologize if it's a bit weird for most. sometimes it be's like that [LoL] i hope you enjoyed.

and your whispering eye...

2009-10-05T00:53:00.000-07:00

during the week i don't get much TV in. but the weekends seem to be where i get it in if anything. especially Sundays. NFL all day. some homework. The Cleveland Show. Family Guy. Entourage [season finale was the sh*t!] and now Dexter just to name a few of my Sunday shows [Weeds and True Blood are done] but anyways i get a lot of sleep in on Sundays too so i'm usually up late and i try and catch some movies i haven't seen before. no preference really. i try to be open-minded. again. i ramble. this Sunday i peeped Role Models. now this is my kind of movie. kind of falls in there with 40-year old virgin. juno. superbad. knocked up. you get where this is going? well yea. it made me laugh quite a bit. i'm not into ruining movies so i won't get into it. but it was a good flick. check it out if you haven't. now i'm about to check out Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais. heard good things about it. plus i think his new movie The Invention Of Lying is going to be pretty funny.

[p.s. i find this guy Keegan-Michael Key is funny]

The Cleveland Show

2009-10-04T22:23:00.000-07:00

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii like it!

what's wrong with you?

2009-10-04T21:58:00.000-07:00

absolutely nothing! as imperfect as you are. as imperfect as we all are. absolutely nothing is wrong with you. or me. or her. or him. or them. or us. in an earlier blog post [daymechelle] posted earlier "Where I'm at Now!" she hits some good points about 'maturity'. she writes:

I'm at a place of Maturity...
Maturing comes with life experiences. My mistakes have matured me a hell of a lot! I've made the same mistake TWICE and it shouldn't of happen but it did and now I truly get why it happen. I had to mature.

beautiful right??? i feel like that provides a perfect example of how to accept who you are. accept who you are becoming. accept who you want to become. we are all just works in progress. and being so young, it's foolish to think we are anything close to perfection. so i pose the question again: what's wrong with you? i hope your answer is 'absolutely nothing'. if not, reread this post and "Where I'm at Now!" as many times as you need to. keep in mind that some days you may be a bit happier with yourself than others. and understand that going through the range of your emotions is just fine. whether it be a good day. happy day. bad day. gloomy day. stressful day. lazy day. etc. just try and remain positive to the best of your ability. and take time to yourself every now and then. escape into a world of music. art. poetry. or whatever you find joy in. it's impossible to stay in the public eye forever. we all need an escape. and just remember: flaws and all. absolutely nothing is wrong with you. we are all a continuous work in progress :)

I DON'T KNOW!!!!
These past few days have been HARD! I don't know if it's me just siking myself out or what...But this pass friday I was in my 1st car accident and it was one of those experiences where you know it's coming and you see "your life flash be4 your eyes". To paint this picture for y'all, I was waiting at a stop sign by my house and you can only make a right onto this BUSY street. While waiting I'm seeing cars going extremely fast so that's telling me I can't make my right turn safely. As I'm still waiting a lady is headed South dwn the BUSY street but getting over to her left hand lane to make a left onto the street I was on. I'm thinking to myself, I know she's not about to try and beat these cars cause its NOT going to be good and there is NO WAY your gonna win. Sure enough she tried and seconds later her front end was into my driver side door. So of course it wasn't my fault, I just happen to be at the WRONG place at the WRONG time. I'm soo grateful that I'm alive and have all my body parts because I honestly shouldn't have and that's what I struggle with. The fact that I've had this experience where it was completely out of my control, it SCARED the shit out of me! I recognize this feeling also when some1 close to me has died. I'm always trying to keep the smile on my face and act like all is well when it's not. I've developed this wall when it comes down to REAL REAL emotions, its because previous events that have shattered me and I'm steady trying to pick up the pieces. When one thing happens after another how can you really be pieced together as a whole?? Don't get me WRONG I can express my feelings but I feel like when I do it solves nothing, I've just expressed my vulnerability to the next person so they have something "juicy" to tell the next person. I feel this way ONLY because I see it happen every single day! Some1 has something to tell regardless if its their business or not. I'm NOT sure about anything!!! I HONESTLY question EVERYthing!!!

Ppl like this should die!

Where I'm at Now!

2009-09-29T15:04:00.000-07:00

My intent was to take this to another level and get political but I decided to get a bit personal instead...Let me know what you think:)

Where I'm at Now...

I'm at a place of exceptance...
Excepting the fact that all things aren't as they seem.
I'm at a place of happiness...
Happiness is what I develop for myself and allow others to add-on too.
I'm at a place of awareness...
Aware that anything I want I have to go get, but still aware that along the way I will make mistakes and grow from them.
I'm at a place of understanding...
understanding that not everyone will see eye to eye with me, different views is what makes life unique.
I'm at place of communication...
Communication is essential PERIOD!! in any and all relationships.

I'm at a place of love...
Love is powerful, complex, and beautiful. I have alot of love to give. I want the right person to recieve it as well as give back.
I'm at a place of Maturity...
Maturing comes with life experiences. My mistakes have matured me a hell of a lot! I've made the same mistake TWICE and it shouldn't of happen but it did and now I truly get why it happen. I had to mature.
I'm at a place of no matter what happens from this day forward it wont be redundant. I'm living each day with a purpose and goal. Along the way I'm bettering myself and trying to help those who are by my side as well.

Coming from where I'm from has made me who I am today as well as brought me to the place I'm at NOW!!

A Letter To My Generation

2009-09-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

A Letter To My Generation

To Whom It May Concern,

Now is the time! Hear my voice and understand I speak to my generation and all generations that may be similar. Now is the time! Throw your excuses out of the window. Cast your fears aside. Now is a time, if ever there was one, to believe in yourself. The phrase “Anything Is Possible” is a staple in many lives now. And I urge my generation NOT TO RUN AWAY FROM IT. Rather, I encourage you all to embrace it. Better yet, I dare you to. I dare you to challenge yourself. Get off the corners. Get in school. Educate your minds. There is so much you can learn about yourself and what you are capable of just by being in the environment of education. Now is the time! President Barack Obama stands for more than just bragging rights for a culture. He represents the history of a people that have come a long way to say the least. Understand his story. His courage. His determination. His mission. His message. Understand that you are just as much apart of the history of your people as President Barack Obama is. I myself haven’t always been the motivated and inspired young man I am today. I admit I gave into the comforts of taking life for granted. Not going to school. Wasting time. Wasting money. But just as these words will ring clear in someone’s ears. The words of Barack Obama woke me up from my self imposed slumber. The echoes of so many forgotten souls began to become clearer. Voting for a Black President gave me a different sense of pride. I chose knowledge over arrogance. Passion over rage. Understanding over stubbornness. I Say It Loud: I’m Black and I’m proud! My vision is getting clearer. I am now starting to see what it means to hold the power of my fist in the air for all to see. I’m here. We’re here. I say again: Now is the time! Motivate yourself. Inspire others. In these hard times the best investment that we, as a young generation, can make; is in ourselves. Not in the cars. Not in the clothes. Not in the jewelry. But in our minds. In our spirits. Developing an understanding of where we come from, where we are, and where we can go from here. My dear generation. We are young. But we are strong. Now is the time! The foundation was laid for us. Now all we have to do is continue to build up this legacy. Continue to build up this strength. We’ve come so far. But we haven’t finished yet. President Barack Obama is just the beginning. You’re next in line. Be strong. Be focused. Be proud. Now is the time!

Sincerely,

[this poem was written in Feb. 2009]

this sh*t is not a game! I work @ a school in Compton and sh*t like this can happen EVERY SINGLE DAY! this sh*t is not a game! it's so easy to say "Stop The Violence". but what most fail to realize is that a lot of the victims of situations like this are honestly put in a situation where they are simply FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES! i'm 22. and back when i was in high school, i was in these little school gangs. i understand kids fight just for the sake of fighting. but i also know first hand IT ALWAYS GETS OUT OF CONTROL. here i am; second year in California, fighting a legit street gang @ my very first homecoming game. that sh*t wasn't cute. as a matter of fact a young man that attends the school I work at in Compton was shot at on his way home two weeks ago. fortunately, he survived with 2 bullets in his right arm. and now has to learn to use his left arm because his right will never be the same. [...he's not even 18!] again. this sh*t is not a game! but, today, this same young man, who NEVER shows up to the after-school program i run, shows up about 15 mins after program starts out of breath. apparently while on his way home, he saw the guys who shot @ him and fearing for his life he ran back to school where he felt safe. absolutely f*cking ridiculous! these kids are scared to go home! there are so many more accounts like this i can tell you about the kids that attend this school in Compton. and as bad as it sounds, everyday i'm scared im going to hear that something similar to Derrion Albert happened to anyone of the young men i have doing push-ups for cuss words and use of the "N" word. THIS is why i chose to be in school to be a history professor. to change this pattern. teach these children. of all races. about THEIR history. all they have accomplished without even knowing it. so they can do more than fall into the lure of the streets. i'm trying my hardest to establish a sense of pride within these children so they can do more for themselves and their families; past, present, and future. but can they hear me through their own cries for help? this sh*t is not a game! my next post will be a letter i wrote last year for Black History Month.
