Seeking Social Media Balance

Its the goal I'm after and finding it to be an interesting ride. To engage folk and build networks, readers, viewership etc you need to WANT a certain level of attention. Some folk deliver quality content, some folk win with pure personality. As I move into a professional blogging space that my bank account will definitely appreciate it's forcing me to have to be more "out there" then is in my nature to be. I'm curious how I will balance this out.........

Money is the Motive

Sometimes it's not that complicated. Get it how you live....

Rambling on the Clock

Yes, I'm the one they call when the sky bout to fall...Again I have to watch love and it’s after effects make fools of my people. Good men hurt for only asking their partners to be their equals…….time invested in a relationship is NOT an automatic right to demand a change of the status quo…In college I thought I was just a bad situation, a decade later it’s confirm that many don’t know how to select a good guy. You can sit and describe one very easily. List all the thing he “should” be and do but then when Ray Ray some one worked his way into Mr Beat-It-Up status what can you say?.....Ummm what is the purpose of our government and congress again? I’m not even being funny in express confusing about what they really do for us?.....DAMN homie! In High School you were the man Homie! What happened to you? I really started to sit down and analyze how and why I help folk. Many people think I want something so that’s why I do it, but truth be told a)Its just a part of my nature cuz many times I’ll be like “I aint need to help her ass” b) When someone presents a problem or just throws it out into the air my mind takes it and solves it so fast that to me its nothing to say hey if your really want that handled do x.y.z or here’s a link to something that may help you or whatever. Helping isn’t so grand an action to me. More so it’s what we need to make much more common…..Lotta things just sound good to the hear, look good to the eye but their reality is so far from that….I’m still a sucker for some. Not in a bad way but still it is what it is. Wet & Sloppy vs Slow, Smooth and Controlled? Truth they both work…..The ability to stretch a dollar is a critical life skill….Lol, I think one of my friends indirectly referenced me in a #OOMF tweet. 1) If she did it was cute and next tell let me in on the compliment 2) I still have issues referring to folk as followers….Communication freak I am….I cant change it…It would appear to me that you can put the word “flow” after anything to make it sound more exciting. Vacation Flow, Casino Flow, Sweaty sex Flow? I guess those work……Work Flow? Public Transportation Flow? Cramp Flow? And yes I’ve seen all 3 of these posted…...Hoodrats......Hoodrats, can be useful at times……Ya know as good as Harry Potter was/is I just couldn’t get with those tiny little twigs they called wands. I prefer the oversized magical staffs my self….Clearly the water of the United Kingdom flow directly from Gods person bath tub. Nothing else examples the measurements I’ve seen…..This NBA season, assuming they get their labor issues together, I’m taking my Knicks support on the road. Philly, Boston, DC, Miami(hopefully), Chicago…….I’m watching people step out for lunch into the heat and coming back looking a mess……As judgmental as some may think I am I honestly keep quiet and the most major things. Not issues and social problems but if I see someone close to me doing something really stupid, repeating an action they KNOW better then to be doing I’ll just watch. I’ll hope they stop and get things in proper condition but most likely I won’t speak on it…..does everything need to be shared? No it doesn’t shut up about some things like seriously, privacy please just a hint of it maybe? With the ability to communicate must come the ability to take what you give. When you couldn’t realistically reach your favorite t.v personality, music or sports star it was ok the curse a guy for a bad or insult an artist you didn’t help. Chances were they’d never hear what you said anyway. Now that you can @ a celeb to directly tell them to sucC a di*k you have to be prepared to get a lil something back….How many of your childhood cartoon theme songs do you still know and can still sing? Me….I still know G.I Joes, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Animanics, Tiny Toons, Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Thunder Cats just to name a few and if there was no actual theme to sing I can still hum the hell out of these songs, screw what these kids are watching today lol, Heard that Henny can actually adversely effect sexual performance…..damn. I’m going to get my current Ink touched issue and with more/greater detail to them. I 100% grew my 1st 2 Tats so as simple as they are they mean that much more to me…..Can only get by on words but for so long. Eventually I realize that’s all I’ll get and I come to enjoy that for the simple lip service it is.....everyone talking about "thirst" until the advances come from a person you like. Appreciate the attention cuz I aint forever.....

Flava of the Month or Where did my People Go?

Blogging has always been 1st and foremost a way for me to express myself and ease my own mental tensions. Been doing it for nearly a decade. Right before the FB & Twitter explosion, blogs caught on. Everyone had one. Many people bounce around in relation to the new trends and it was blogging turn. I was leaving Myspace and its outdated blog system and came across blogspot. Through Blogspot my blogs took a shape and form. A legit corner of the Internets for me to be me. The BLVD. And low and behold others seemed to like it. There were moments that I can honestly say were fun reading comments in bunches. But, as all things do the novelty were off for most I suppose and the FB status updates and quick hitting tweets took most to new areas. And even as I now attempt to navigate these other social media for improved business. I always come back to the BLVD. It's a lot quieter these days even as the look of it has improved.

I don't know why I felt the need to reflect on things cuz I'm not stopping anytime soon. Maybe if I turned up the sex stories that would get folk interested again? Oh well. The BLVD is still on extension of LonelyNites. Thus as long as I' have me it'll have be what it's supposed to be....

.................?

2000 Posts on the BLVD!!!!!!

I swear I don't know where the time has gone. From midnite rambles to Hump Day. Ill Imagery to iSupport. So much is on this blog and it's such a testament to just how scrambled my mind really is. Much love and appreciation to all those that have been along with me for this ride. Reading, commenting, promoting this blog I shouldn't ask for more support. And I take Pride that this has been a consistent 2000 with no major stops in posting. It means more then you can imagine the networks and friendship born thru the BLVD, so again I say Thank You.

Blog Challenge Day 25

As the challenge is coming to an end the 25t day asks how I got into blogging and where did it start? Truthfully I have been writing my thoughts down since grade school. Not in one set diary or journal but here and there in various and that to me is the blogging foundation. After time on Blackplanet, MiGente and even Asian Avenue I ended up on crushspot and daflaava. I don't remember which came first but these sites had blog functions built in a I just found the writing to be a great stress relief. Combine that with the things in my life at the time and it just led to blogging and the comfort from getting my various thoughts out stayed with me up to the present times.

Blog Challenge Day 19

What is a habit I have that I wish I didn't? Hmmmmmm I bite my nails/cuticles a lil bit when I get caught in standstill traffic. Yes It's random I know.

Blog Challenge 18

Another letter request....really doesn't make sense unless maybe they actually what you to write one on the spot for someone. Anyway here goes a little older piece that was west side desert inspired.

So how did this happen
whats the cuase of my unrest
Some traits I must be lacking
more self-doubting more stress
More looking in the mirror asking why i'm not enough
Not one to build or grow with
Not even enough to lust
Another near hit that just missed the mark
thought I was on a roll
Starting to sneak into her heart
Brief chats became extended
Strangers now befriended
Defenses start to lower as the initial worries ended
Now these two worlds intermingle
Both desire to remain single
but yet a hint of passion creeps in to create a pleasurable tingle
On a daily basis we're building nightly we're lusting
It seems from your end that yes you do trust him
And I trust you so now I'm coming thru
Plans laid down, Blu's coming to town to do what I'm gonna do
The anticipation is growing as weeks become days
I forgot my best friends birthday cause I was so kept up in your gaze
So the trip goes down and your beauty is confirmed
Not full of all the talked about passion but perhaps that must be earned
I never had a problem crawling before I run
As long as I liked you and you liked me then I know we'd have fun
Breakfast in the morning
Your late afternoon naps
Playing with Stifler
Getting those new tatts
In all a great time with no real complaints
a few things didn't go down but I didn't mind the wait
I had found someone I felt was right to be the friend I needed
Kind,smart,mature,sexy
not arrogant and conceited
But on my return to Gotham I was caught off guard
by a sudden change of position
The text messages,emails and calls were now missing
I didn't know what to make of it so I applied my common sense
If things were good and now there not
something happened when I was out west
My in person impression must not have lived up to expectations
The actual catch fella few levels short of what you thought you were chasing
Damn now I'm stuck again with that lowly feeling of not beening up to par
Is it my dark skin tone or is it that I just live
