Twitter Word Cloud

So, apparently this is the make up of the words I tweet the most......

So Busy Chasing Attention They're Not Paying Attention

Smh, when u've been working on something and openly communicating about it, there's always those folk that look you in the face like, "I have no clue what you're talking"....yeah cuz your priorities are geared towards nonsense. Everyone is NOT gonna be down w/ what your building. But they'll understand soon enough.

Never fails......

1)Post explicit statement 

2)Act surprised & complain about "thirst" 

3)Field sympathy tweets 

*Mission Accomplished: Attention Acquired*

Priorities?

Not really surprised here.

I've Gotten The Shanda Stamp Of Approval

The Land of "Know It Alls"

It never ceases to amaze me the level of self righteousness that dwells on these Internets. Keeping with a Hump Day minded tone I glance through the social networks and wonder how the hell do these folk calm so much knowledge on the workings of the opposite without an actual track record of success. It makes me wonder where is the separation of a person with experience vs a person with success. Think about it. You can have experience with the opposite sex but if the results were failed relationships how valuable is the advice you can give. "If you dont do x.y.z don't be surprise if you lose your partner." That's a pretty bold statement. Now when I read things like this I never see any acknowledgement of the personal connection. What I mean is that if you tell me "Hey I had relationships where I didn't do x,y,z and it negatively effected things." That's something I can relate and connect to because you're not telling me something devoid of that personal link. The more you attempt to teach, preach, educate or advice the more you need to establish where you yourself learned, experienced and hopefully succeeded with the things you're telling me.

It's easy to talk it. Many folk are great with words and can make anything sound good. I look deeper. I look through the words. The blow jobs tips, sex advice and relationships "rules" many times are more of a smoke screen for personal insecurity than they are tidbits of help. Look deeper. Get below the surface......

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.....

Guardian Moment........

Turned Off By the Type of Talk

It's a full scale push towards Mrs Carter's new album and the legion of supporters are out in force. We already know who's claimed control on the world and now I've seen the Internets chattering on a song "1 + 1" that is apparently the greatest thing since the last greatest thing Bey put out . You say the funny thing with me is that the more something gets hyped up before I experience it the least liking I am to want to deal with it. Everything today is either platinum or plastic. The digital hype machine is insane.

So by the time I'm hearing about a movie, song or whatever, I'm already put off but the 100th person saying "This song gives me life", "This song is everything", etc,etc,etc......it just seems a bit much. In truth this seems to be a Twitter issue as I use twitter to keep some degree of awareness from those that I follow blog wise. Since I cant access blogs at the office twitter substitutes.

I'm a communication freak on so many levels.  LOL

They Need Thick Skin!!!….Or Maybe You Need Not Be A Jerk??

“People that are too sensitive should be allowed on the internet.”…. “If your feelings get hurt easy don’t log on.”……”Why You Mad?”…..LOL ok I like that last one personally but in general the tone seems to be that to deal in the online social environment requires thick skin. Lacking this emotion armor seems bother many people. Well my immediate thought to this 1) Why would you expect the Internets to be any different then real/offline life? It’s the same people. Once the digital world became social it immediate became a reflective of our society. And that includes the emotionally sensitive as well as the emotionally reckless. 2) Why is it that a person MUST have think skin online? Could the answer be that because the people that would test you or put you in a position to be emotionally stressed thrive in being dirt bags? Let me clown on them before they clown on me grade antics and various bully-like actions flourish throughout the social networks. It’s to the point that people don’t realize that the basics we grew up on get abandoned due to the safety of digital distance. I can pop off about you and if you get mad I can just block you. Wooooord? That’s the code we go by now? No more “Be man enough to stand up for your word?” Nope. We’re all about “slander” now. 

This is one of the reasons I think the bullying issue is the way that it is today. You don’t have the social checks and balances of a face to face ass whooping now. If a person has something against you they can get at you from relative safety and rally more people to get at you very easily. Now of course some may say just ignore it but the social media is linking into every aspect of communication those making a lil hard to just step away.
My personally repeated theme is to cross the line between reality and cyberspace. It’s in the flesh that we balance these issues and stop them before they get too serious. The masses won’t apologize. They’ll say YOU need to be able to take it. They say that’s what the Internet is. It’s on Twitter. It’s just the Internets…….Well yes you do have to be able to take it to a degree but feelings aren’t to be a shamed of either especially when being disrespected by cowards.

Baby Boy Speaks......And I'm Not Mad At Him

While going about my usual business I noticed a few folk online referencing Tyrese and that apparently he had made some online comments that had a few people less then happy. So, out of curiosity I decided to see what the big deal is. It turned out to be more relationship tweets and talk of separating from friends.

What I did find interesting was 1, his "understanding" of the thought process that leads to cheating...

And 2, his final question he poses. I know everyone gives themselves A+ grades sexually, at least. in the public. But I have to think this question has to strike a nerve with folk who know deep down their not giving their all. Cheating in never good but yes that in a mentally that makes it somewhat understandable.  

In Case You Didnt Know.....

Don't make me repeat it.......

How It's Going Down.....

The year is new and many are speaking of resolutions, plans and goals. I have a few target goals in mind and a few things I'm still formulating in my head. I think as certain aspect of social interaction have changed I need to change as well. This change is needed to have better more efficient dealings with people both online and offline. So what do I want to start doing? Here are a few...

1. Stop repeating things to people. I invite folk to events, inquire about support, show travel deals if I know I person is looking for something and I often time find myself  checking in to see if they have taking advantage of it. That needs to stop. You don't need to remind adults about things they genuinely want to do. You shouldn't have to point, hint or guide a person to do something. So I really see myself mentioning stuff once maybe twice then after that you on your own. 
2. Understand who people are and the fact that most people are NOT changing. I many times hold out hope that people will change. Not even grand changes of personality or belief but simply not changes in how much I depend or better yet expect from them. The people that says "That sounds great lets do it....I'll call you." But never does so. I'd usually try repeatedly because if I see a good thing in a person I'd attempt to cultivate it. No more. If it was of true interest they would react.
3.  Utilize the Mute and Hide features more to achieve my needed online social balance of energy. I've given up on thinking people will alter how they represent themselves on online. The internal human desire to be bigger then we really are is too great. Or folk simply have no ideas as to what it means to self censor in a public place. So I'll simply apply more control over what I allow to appear on my screen.
4. Crawl out of my box. I want to try new things this year. Not sure what those things will be but I wanna introduce a fresh new vibe into my world. And interacting with new people is key to opening some new doors. 
5. I'm still trying to separate the message from the messenger. I just find it hard at times to take certain advise from folk I KNOW aren't living what they're putting out.  

I'm sure I'll be adding on to this but its definitely a start......

Tyrese Speaks on Public Attention Seeking through Relationships

Well, well Jodi drops a few words of wisdom here that I completely agree without. While he is directly this at his "celeb" counterparts, everything he says falls in line with I have always felt was the safest and truest way to build I relationship. Check out his words via Twitter then my take on things.

    If you try and build, develop, and mold your relationship on a PUBLIC STAGE… You will welcome the spirit of opinion and it could KILL it. Love is beautiful when it’s defined and nurtured ALONE… Then when you GO PUBLIC.. What you have built PRIVATELY can’t be AFFECTED!!

    Media whores become desperate for PUBLIC APPROVAL.. People with class and tact fall back and DISCOVER .. Love is beautiful when it’s real.

    Only on their second date.. And already on the red carpet kissing and making out? Well, well.. Good luck buddy!!

    I wanna be CLEAR.. I’m not saying people should NOT live their lives and have fun!! But there are PLENTY of restaurants that don’t have Papz

    Truth be told.. There are a LOT of the media whores who actually CALL THE PAPZ and tell them where they are going.. Desperate anyone?

    I’m a very private man who happens to live a very private life. My privacy is all I OWN. I give a lot of me to the world but not EVERYTHING!
