Official Superbowl Stance

Ok, its Superbowl weekend(Almost) and I've made no real selection as to who I'm pulling for. As a New Yorker clearly my loyalties are else where but in the spirit of competition I'm riding with Arizona on this one. Let it be known that I have no clue who ANYBODY of the Cardinals are and this selection is based purely on A)Their Underdog status and B)My Friendship with this woman.Either way there will be a game on and I will have "plenty drink.......waaannt sum?"

Aailyah Returns

As Biggiemania continues we get word that the story of Our princess will be lighting up the screen soon. Here's the early info via ALLHIPHOP

Gone but clearly not forgotten, Aaliyah will reemerge on the big screen via an upcoming biopic. Media sources report that Canadian R&B/pop singer Keshia Chante will play the songbird in the film, which will be helmed by director Bill Condon.

Others appearing in thefeature include Aaliyah’s choreographer Fatima Robinson, Missy Elliott, Timbaland and Ginuwine. Famed music video director Hype Williams has also been tapped for the project to recreate Aaliyah's final video shoot for the hit song "Rock the Boat."

To insure that his work lives up to fans’ expectations, Condon is making sure his cast do their homework to become as familiar with Aaliyah and those in her life as humanly possible.

“We are going to great extremities to make this movie perfect. We have [Keisha] Chante in extensive training studying, speaking with family members, watching personal footage and in choreography training with Aaliyah’s choreographer and dear friend Fatima Robinson,” he told the New York Post. “This movie will be seamless the same way it was for Selena fans who enjoyed Jennifer Lopez.”

Shields down......

I can count on 1 hand how many females I've slept with. Not how many I've had sex with but actually shared a bed with in terms of sleeping overnight. It's not something I do quicCly or easily. Granted the few instances that it's happened are with people that I care for and trust but its a lil symbolic to me. When I sleep its my most vulnerable time. It's when all guards are down. Its rest in every sense of the world so for me to feel comfortable enough to share that space is a lot in my eyes.
Perhaps that's weird but hey its me.

Classically Funny

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shout out to Ms Carter.....

I don't know who's blog I was on, I think it was ALL IN's but I ended up finding my way over to Ms Brook Lynne Carter's blog and its a nice collection of flash, industry, introspection and substance. Most def can't judge a book by its cover. She had a 20 questions blog and I threw out a few questions and low and behold she answered all of them at 4am. Much respect. ChecC her out.

Jan. Book Review: The Greatness Guide

As Jan. finishes off it's time to drop a few words on my monthly reading. I accepted the challenge from Mz. J and here we go. This month's book was The Greatness Guide by Robin Sharma. It is really a collection of 101 lessons/points that can be applied to life for improvement, success and overall positivity. The author really keeps the vibe casual as he creates this guide during his day to day business. He lets you know if he just dropped his kids off, is heading to lunch, in an international hotel or just on the side of the road because he had a thought. The reading is easily laid out in 2-3pg per lesson format so before you know it your done. Spilling over with quotes this book is one that you can reflect on and return to for consistent motivation. There are too many quotes to list them all but I'll reference I few that are on my mind currently.

1)"Every time you say yes to something that's unimportant, you say no to something that is important."

2)"Too many among us are afraid to be ourselves. So we give up our dreams to follow the crowd."

3)"Do good and leave behind a virtue that the storm of time can never destroy."

4)"Person who catches 2 rabbits catches neither."

5)"The people or circumstances that take you out of your power have extraordinary value: They reveal your limiting beliefs, fears and false assumptions."

This is an excellent book and starting point for a year devoted to personal improvement.

Think about it Truthfully and Honestly

People say friendship are 50% but I don't think we actual believe that or at least we don't follow that 100%.Honestly think if you had to cut off every friend that doesn't treat you as well as you treat them who would you be left with? Then flip it.If each friend that treats YOU better then you treat them left who would you be left with?

Rooster Outlook for 2009

Rooster

1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
Rooster Overview

Get ready for an outstanding year. Aside from the Snake, the Rooster has the best prospects in the year of the Ox. This is the kind of year you have been waiting for, as everything seems to go your way. You have been diligently working towards some long term goals that finally come together this year. Your relations are felt at new levels, as you find a sense of satisfaction that you may not have experienced in a long time. Things you may have thought not possible will become a reality for you in this positive year.
Rooster Rating

72% (10 favorable and 2 neutral months)
Rooster Career

Determination and diligence are two key aspects that put the Rooster over the top this year. 2009 is a year that you should promote yourself: Your ideas and your talents will be highly regarded and you will be recognized for past and present efforts. Give it your best this year and seize any opportunity that presents itself. This year will certainly be a landmark for years to come, as you will remember it as one of your most productive times in your life.
Rooster Relationships

Domestic matters will fare well for the Rooster this year. You will find comfort in the support and encouragement of family members and friends alike. Seek advice from your seniors, as they may provide information that opens doors to areas that are not known. The social life for the Rooster is a busy schedule. You will enjoy the company of others in many social functions and parties. Romance is highly favorable for the unattached Rooster, so flaunt your feathers.
Rooster Health

Health issues are minor for the Rooster this year. Though exercise and diet are not an issue, you may have a problem maintaining the discipline of a steady routine. Take the time to get the exercise you need and everything should work out fine for you. Being somewhat of a risk taker, you may want to try something new that holds your interests. Consider surfing or parasailing to indulge your fancy.
Rooster Wealth

This a great year financially for the Rooster. If you have any available funds, you may want to reinvest it in your work. This could prove to be highly favorable and you will reap the benefits in your return. One key issue is your spending habits. Make sure you don't spend the money before it is in the bank or this could pose a problem with your budget. Receive professional advice for any large investments in areas that you are unfamiliar.

Devil's Advocate

As I read the increasing number of Obama based blog entries about how much of an inspiration he is(which I do agree with), I can't help but think "Damn how fucC'ed up were we that a blacC man has to become president to conspire change?" It took a man being the most powerful person on earth for blacc men to hopefully not idolize criminals, for our women to hopefully give up the "I need a bad boy" bullshit, for kids to hopefully accept the concept that higher education is cool?

Were we really THAT messed up? Isn't it crazy that we needed ALL of this just to grow up?

My Time.....

Jillz wondered if you ever hear lonely....I did...I do...the heaters hiss doesn't bother me...the low electric hum of energy through out my building....when I hear these sounds among others.....my guard is down.Not to the world but towards myself....this is where the saint meets the sinner....the criminal meets the guardian....where fear meets confidence....the time that 1 side of me want to be having a sexual field day while another would rather be reading.

Within my time I juggle the multitude of thoughts that rarely have answers.It's not the calm or meditation or the restlessness of insomnia....its just my time.No rules, no boundaries.....my allowance of insanity....with sum Alicia Keys in the baccground.

Joe Knows....

Joe Claire has some insightful thoughts on our new President's effect on "us".

"I am saying that Barack Obama and all that he represents is far greater than most of what we have come to express with two turntables and a microphone. Our brags and boast seem a little childish. Our gangster tales seem mostly foolish. Our better than you s**t seems a little like rubbish. As he said in his inaugural speech, “ We are a young nation but it’s time to do away wit childish things.”

Good Dudes Marry Left Ova Pussy from Bad Boys
Im starting to notice that bitches get married after they lose their looks, get tired of getting fucked and fucked over by the dudes they really wanted. In other words they settle for a good dude who wasnt gettin no pussy until he got a good job and some bank

Im watch HGTV and this bitch admits right in front of her herb ass husband she ignored him for 30 yrs and thought hed be the last guy she would ever marry. Fast forward 30 yrs and hes accountant and they're house shopping in long lsland for a 799k house on a vinyard.

Then the bitch got the nerve to thank him for not giving up on her

Married dudes are worst than homeowners, thinking they really own a house and they really came up.

Your wife especially if you have money probably settled for your ass. And the kat she really was throwing the pussy to free of charge could probably still hit it on the low

Pleasure vs. Happiness

That's my mind frame right now. Pleasure is sensory based and temporary, but Happiness is a inner long lasting feeling and state. I'm striving for happiness. Pleasure is good in responsible doses but it can become addictive quicc if not put in checC.

Gotta stay 1 step a head.......

After completing this 2nd round of P90X and Before jump into P90X Plus I'll be doing this to warm up.

Damn....time flies.......

She would have been 30 last Friday. Still remember where I was.
2o yrs old in Philly visiting my girl at the time joking about finishing college and moving out there. Then the BET news alert. The memory is still so vivid.

Like roaches......

Just a thought.
Why are the lames, clowns, fools, assholes, nuisances, cheaters, liars, etc sooooooo damn resilient? I mean from my experience and obervsation if your a decent guy you really only have 1 shot to get it right. Cuz when u do screwed up its a wrap. But the other guys? Ooooooooh man they seem to stay in the mix for years. Blowing chance after chance. I know there's no answer but it just always seems to happen like that.

Accountability Update.........

In conjunction with Ms. Southwest's 2009 Plan I have to post where I'm at as to not sneak under the radar.

On the physical fitness front this was the start of week 3 of P90X. Had a great workout.....even after I left the crib got to Bally's just to realize I forgot my damn gym card and drivers license, but I got my routine damn in full.

Financially speaking I still have to hammer down this budget to facilitate more saving. Smh @ the thought but a part time job may have to happen.

Personally I was suppose to read 10 chapters of this months reading and I did NADA.....I know I sucC, but I wont blame all the Presidential history for distracting me. I have 120pgs left to read in 1 week. I'm going to do it just watch.

I gotta set a good tone in this first month.

Seems out of a fairy tale.....

...hopefully it ends happily ever after.

Words of the 44th......

They speak for themselves.


OBAMA: My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.

As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

This is the source of our confidence — the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet (it)."

America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

Communications to History.....

After my early morning blog i'm done blogging for today but I wanted to pass this informative link to you guys which gives you ALL the ways to catch Tuesdays historic events.

ClicC Here for the Info.

My thoughts are so curious.......

Above is Curious George circa 1983. That's my first/favorite childhood toy.(That and my Snoopy blanket and yes I still have it).Anyway, Curious George just always clicC'd with me and how I thought. Always asking questions, always seeking knowledge and answers. The answers were easier bacC then. Not so much today......

I think I'm an ok guy. I dont lie to people don't disrespect people.I respect my elders and honor my females. At 27 years of age the topics seem to be money/career and relationships/family/future. I look around me and see my people having kids (CONGRATS Raff and Smiley), people moving and I start to think that perhaps I've moved a little slowly on a few fronts. In trying to build my own professional future I think I turned by head to other things I could have been doing to better my current position. I'm not in a bad place, but It could be better. BUT money matter are finite because a dollar is a dollar no matter how you get it.

On the other hand the emotional, social, relationship area has always been touchy for me. At eh core of this is that I'm not the average guy. I don't say that because I feel I'm the shit or better then people. But I simply don't operate like the basic guy. Sometimes I wonder as if that is my problem. If Had just told people what they wanted to hear would I be better off. Maybe if I demanded more instead of giving 200% of myself to people I'd be better off? Who knows? Perhaps I should have dated more? I was a late bloomer socially. As it stands I can look on my past and count my past serious relationships on 1 hand. 3, that's it. On 3 long fingers contain the VAST majority of events that have shaped my heart, psyche and mind state. And last nite I realized just how deeply certain things have effected me. I express myself in a very calculated way. I'm orderly and logical. Cold perhaps, unless you really get to know me. Yet beneath the surface, I'm soft and emotionally sensitive. Still the kid that was never liked by the pretty girls in school. I'm just housed in a much bigger man-like body.

3 former relationships, 3 loves of a different nature. All had good times and all had moments of pain that still hang with me. And while I'm technically over and have accepted many things. I would be a bold faced liar to say that my certain ways of dealing with people aren't based on what I've experienced. One of my big internal issues is the idea inadequacy. That idea that even though I'm told how much I'm loved or how great I am. That the moment I start to believe it I get thrown bacC to earth, bacC to reality by someone else poppin' up and getting away my happiness. I think about those that I've told that I love. I think about them a lot. I always told myself that I would never be the "EX". I would never be the "HIM" that sparked the ugly "why didn't we work out" phone convo's.I would never be the guy that didnt know when to step off. If such I conversation would happen(which they have) it would be more calm and more adult. I never wanted to be the guy that I hear so much about from other female friends.

Unfortunately, on the flip side of that is the fact that I have a very curious mind. I'm not going to lie and say otherwise, over the years I remain curious of what the people I've dealt with are doing and more some who their dealing with. There's no Malice or ill will behind it. I just like knowing whats going on with any person that I can honestly say I love. I used to torture myself with this is years past. In my silence I'd revisit past emails and daily visit myspace pages and blogs to keep up with what was happening. I willing broke my heart again and again for years cuz my relationships ended in ways that didn't make sense to me. People say men don't cry well fucC that. I soaked the pillows a few times over these situations. I did this up until....hmmmm.....early 2007 or so. I had to tell myself something to stop the process. The fact is......it's over.People more on.I think to my past and say "I've been blessed to have shared time with beautiful people but they're going about their business." Even today I have to stop myself before doing it again. And this damn internet doesn't help. I'm sure there's info out there on some blog or website with words that can still cut me on some level.Just cuz a person loves me doesn't mean I'm the only person in there world.

In the process of going on with me life. I miss them. The hugs, kisses moments of intimacy, secret moments that only make sense to us. And until I find my life partner it may always hurt to think/know/speculate/assume that your former(s) has moved on. But hey, I'm not that special. No ones world stops spinning cuz I'm no longer in the picture. I wonder if assholes feel the same things I do? Naw I doubt it cuz from observation it seems that assholes get more chances to make mistakes then I do. Maybe I'm just a sucker in a decent pacCage, ready to jump to everyone's side then in the end I have to fend for myself.

These feelings aren't new. They're twisted, turned and burned in me for years. They gave birth to a idea which became a concept and before all is said and done it will be actual entity. LonelyNites Unlimited, a friend jokingly said it sounded like a porn company. He got a good laugh with that. LonelyNites is the child of my pain, solitude and confusion from years past. Poems created in my lowest moments, heartbreak that can't be expressed thru 808's, depression that ran thru my body and woke me up in the middle of the nite to write poems too honest for many blacC men to admit it.

And when it's all said and done.....I'd still lay it all on the line for them. For her...... John 15:13 says Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. And if she needed it I'd lay it down no question. I guess thats just me. This is how my mind works....24/7, 365, constant motion......I love them, I hope they still love me, I miss them, I hope they still miss me......

I don't know, this blog was random and unexpected.My car is covered in snow again so I'm out.

Wish I saw more of this......

Considering how much time is spent harping on how bad we are.It's nice to see this.

10 mins. on the ClocC, Do you love me or not????

"You know the dynamic your kinship with a person is going to take on w/n the first 10 minutes of interaction. Friendship, relationship, f/b, possible hubby, wife, etc..."

My super silly sexi singing sista friend Jae has sparked a thought on this cold ass NY night. The Time may vary cuz I've heard 1 min, 5 mins, 1 conversation, etc,etc...

So my question is, Just how much can you tell about a person in your initial encounter? No female I've come to care for deeply made that impression on me initially. I mean beyond basic generic interest and/or physical attraction levels can u really be that sure of initial impression to be able to know if they could become something serious?

Time Frame/BIological ClocC

"Jason, you and your guys are at the age where you have to be careful what females you deal with because your in the age range for living together, families and marriage"
- Evita Robinson

That paraphrase was from an earlier convo with the my Super Amazon Euro Pimpin Tokyo Teaching buddy Evita. It made we think and wonder on something. What is your time frame? Do you have a steady mark where you stop and evaluate a relationship to see if its worth continuing or do you just ride out? How much time would you allot to getting to a serious "life partner" consideration with someone. Whats more important the time you risk in getting to know some or the loss of a relationships potential because its not moving fast enough?

I've always felt that most peoples emotions evolve at different rates. Plus in regards to time my belief is that if I'm looking at you with life partner potential that you need to be able to be down for the ride. Not 5,6,7 yrs, but 2,3,4 yrs of steady progress and relationship growth is not a grand thing to ask if I may spend the rest of my life with you.

I'm realizing that i'm in a period where many females may feel that their racing the clocC to get families started. All I know is that relationships should be a natural process from both people involved. And you dont want to lose a good thing cuz it doesn't match your biological clocC, cuz then what? You gonna rush off and squeeze out a child with the next guy that says the right things?

THoughts? VIews? Opinions?

Potential vs. Actual Factual

I'm blessed. I've been raised by 2 living parents who in April will celebrate their 30th Anniversary. Nothing on this earth is more important to me then Family. My father got marriages at age 30 after knowing my mom since high school bacC in Antigua.

Things more much faster these days. People meet have kids, get married, divorce in record time. With me my emotions are much more like the tortoise then the hare. I was never into dating multiple people at a time. If i want that I'll remain single. In my life's relationship experiences I've always come upon circumstances where I was asked to step beyond what I think I've established. It followed an odd pattern I'd be super into things initially until some action or statement makes me fall bacC and calm things down. From here I'd just be more and do what I do with a certain calm about me. Eventually things would end when an outside individual would "offer" an option that would seem to present better option to myself. And every time I've held true to what I believe that "My actions speak loudest for me. If what I've done isn't enough to keep us together then I wont stop you from leaving" Aaaannnd of course I got left. Needless to say that the "other option" would never pan out to be what was advertised.

Recent conversation and reminiscing brought that up and created this question. What would you do with a solid partner in your possession vs. an energetic new comer offering the potential of something better. How do you value Potential vs. Proven actual results????

Hoping for Justice.....

This is a update to "My President is BlacC"




Full Story Here

By Ismael AbduSalaam

Johannes Mehserle, the former police officer seen on tape shooting a face-down, unarmed Oscar Grant in the back, has officially been charged with murder.



Mehserle was arrested Tuesday night (January 13) in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.



The New Year's Day shooting has sparked outrage and protests in the city of Oakland, with many accusing BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) of having a history of racially motivated violence against young black men.



In 1992, a BART policeman shot 19 year-old Jerrold Hall in the back after the teenager attempted to flee a parking lot.



Although Hall was unarmed, the officer was acquitted on the grounds that he felt threatened Hall would return with a weapon.

Sigh….DMX speaks from jail on his fall, and his future

It is what it is.......

You ever assume that folk will act or react a particular way because you feel you know them? I see that assumptions don't always make an ass out of people but sometimes their just reminders of things we need to adjust in life. In my assuming isn't bad depending on what the assumption is towards. Realistically, its only the people closet to you or that you care about the most that can let you down. I remember this happening over the years and while I realized that you will never be able to end let downs and disappointments. I can control if you suffer from repeated pain or new fresh pain. New pains mean your growing and life is changing around you. Repeating the same assumptions and subsequent let downs are signs of insanity; repeating the same actions and expecting different results.

I'd always say "ok this person or this situation got the best of me." I'd embrace the let down and hurt for all it was worth and once I internalized the lesson of the hurt, I evolved and moved on. If you hurt me with a body blow then you better improve your hook cuz the body is protected now. So, that result is me today Jason 2K9....Nightfall XP.LoL. I still have emotions as strong as ever but with a reliable on/off switch for protection. I love my people for the goods and bads. No person is the total pacCage. Peoples interests differ. We all have selfish, ego centric traits and they show up at times with us not even knowing it.

I've come to a point that I make sure anything I do is cleared by my own personal goals and beliefs first. After that if any one else likes it its frosting on the cake and if the world could care less then hey no harm no foul.

Bangin' the Rev's daughter???

I can't access the vid so if you've seen it let em know.
But Pro Skater "TK" has come out speaking on the "sex issues" between he and former interest Angela Simmons. Now truthfully this is gossip shit but as a fan of the Simmons' I do need to ask this.

What happened to grown as men moving in silence and not speaking on things that happen in the privacy of their home. This is my blog space and I'll speak on things in my life but their is a certain line of privacy that men used to never cross. Now guys run at the mouth like triflin' females.

**Update**
Here's the video and honsety I'm happy it wasnt what I was led to believe but now my thought is this. Why even put this video out? Unless he's going to refute her after every episode theres really nothing gained from this?Ooooh well.




**Side Note**

You can have Angela.I'd prefer Vanessa.

Let's talk about Sex.

OK what I'd like to know is, Do you NEED sex. I don't mean in a general sense but you specifically. You the person reading this, do you NEED sex. I hear a gang of people from of all age ranges say they need sex and how often they need it,etc,etc. To me I need water. I need food. I like sex. I enjoy it but I don't need it. Need makes me think of drug fiends. To need something to the point that you go out and actively search for it kinda of comes off like there's a lacC of will power. Which is why I dont really think folk NEED sex like they say but just really really really enjoy it.

As a man it always seems to be believed that sex is our ultimate weakness. That sex can get a guy to do anything. And for many men that holds true but I think that's why I like knowing that I have no issue saying "No". It's empowering to know that the power of pu$$y doesn't have this unbreakable hold on me. And I hope any female too would be able to do the same.



But perhaps I'm just off. Don't get it twisted I TOTALLY enjoy it when it's going down and will continue to do so. I just like knowing that my larger head is the one calling the shots.

But for real, we're all adults here. Just how vital is sex in your day to day life. When's the last time you turned it down whats the longest self induced drought period. We all know the over top Super Headish Party like a Roc Star FucC like a Porn Star talk. But lets make it real. Do you really NEED?

Is it that Serious?....50's Mad.

People are gettin' in Kanye's ass (pause) about him referencing gays as a fashion influence. Truthfully the y don't influence me but why does it seem like some folk are determined to prove that Kanye's gay? Truth is truth, West pulls more gorgeous models then a lot of street cats could ever hope for. Peep the video. Kanye's a musical genius, a bit out there, but he doesn't bother me.

A lil Natural knowledge.....

Health benefits of coconut oil include the following:

* Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged air. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.

* Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.

* CoconutsSkin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Further, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.

* Premature Aging: Coconut oil helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.

* Heart Diseases: There is a misconception spread among many people that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as it happens in case of other vegetables oils. It does not lead to increase in LDL levels. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis.

* Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight.

* Pancreatitis: Coconut oil is also believed to be useful in treating pancreatitis.

* Digestion: Internal use of coconut oil occurs primarily as cooking oil. Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Coconut oil also helps in absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

* Immunity: Coconut oil is also good for the immune system. It strengthens the immune system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

* Healing: When applied on infections, it forms a chemical layer which protects the infected body part from external dust, air, fungi, bacteria and virus. Coconut oil is most effective on bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues.

* Infections: Coconut oil is very effective against a variety of infections due to its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil kills viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS, etc. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, etc. Coconut oil is also effective on fungi and yeast that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, etc.

* Liver: The presence of medium chain triglycerides and fatty acids helps in preventing liver diseases as they substances are easily converted into energy when they reach the liver, thus reducing work load on the liver and also preventing accumulation of fat.

* Kidney: Coconut oil helps in preventing kidney and gall bladder diseases. It also helps in dissolving kidney stones.

* Diabetes: Coconut oil helps in controlling blood sugar, and improves the secretion of insulin. It also helps in effective utilization of blood glucose, thereby preventing and treating diabetes.

* Bones: As mentioned earlier, coconut oil improves the ability of our body to absorb important minerals. These include calcium and magnesium which are necessary for development of bones. Thus coconut oil is very useful to women who are prone to osteoporosis after middle age.

* Dental Care: Calcium is an important element present in teeth. Since coconut oil facilitates absorption of calcium by the body, it helps in getting strong teeth. Coconut oil also stops tooth decay.
