It's Been A Long Time. . .

What's Up Intelligent People?

It's been a long time since I updated my blog (almost a year) I know I have to do better. Seems like everybody is using tumblr now, but I just can't get into all that for some reason (call me old school). Currently, I'm sitting here watching Finding Me (for the second time today). Y'all know I'm a sucker for a love story. For those that don't know or have forgotten I am currently finishing up the pages in my first ever book titled "And Then I Opened My Soul". It's an intimate collection of my poetry and thoughts. I have decided to release them because I feel that at this point in my life I can use it as a stepping stone to do bigger and better things and also I really believe that it will help so many other people just work out some things in their life. Well let me get back to watching this movie. Besides the bad lighting, occasional bad sound, & B- acting it is a really good movie and that's why I am watching again.. Finding Me: Truth which is the sequel should be out at some point this summer.

**Distance**

Navigating thoughts accompanied by confusion

regulated by restrictions of the loneliness that's being inflicted

A heart filled with emtions

trapped by an ego to big to let them flow

engulfed with a body of love

but it's all held back

because of the close proximity in which we lack

another day closer to the sparkle in your eye but

yet another day that we're not here or we're not there (together)

the day still awaits that we'll be together as one

seeing the world from each others eyes

awaken to a new day with a simple surprise (your smile)

no matter how long it takes

no matter the distance

let's make a promise now

to let no one or nothing come between us

My Friend...

Took time out of my day to think of you
What our future holds, I have not a clue
Our destinys are foretold, but we still search for the truth
Our hopes & dreams come together
and form pages in the book called "new"
This chapter starts where the last one ends
if nothing else I'll call you my friend..

Respect in a RELATIONSHIP!!

It saddens me how these new age relationships have become a fad for our youth and some of us older people that have bought into the madness. Relationships nowadays are missing some key pieces but one in particular RESPECT. How dare you justify your relationship by saying "oh, we have an open relationship"? Now, if that works for you then so be it but that's not a damn relationship that's a fucking compromise. All you said to the person you're with is "I'm sorry baby, but you're not enough for me so I'm gonna get it and still have you to come home to because you're my convenience". Stop the madness people!!! There is a big difference between a RELATIONSHIP and a CONVENIENCE.. Which one do you have???

Respect yourself and you will respect others.. Love yourself and you will love others!! Why compromise love? Why compromise yourself? Self-respect = Self love

Poem for Haiti

I felt like writing this morning so I did something real simple...

-----------------------------------------

In my deepest thought

And as far as I can see

I couldn’t imagine your pain and misery

The lives that has been lost and those still not found

No words can express the turmoil that’s unwound

Through the rubble, bricks, and falling infrastructure

There is one thing still true in this time of destruction

Your hearts are brave and your love is unconditional

You fight to survive and you will survive the fight

With the blessings of God and help from a few close friends

The cloud of darkness will soon descend

Take care of yourselves , your family, and friends too

And never forget

God continues to watch over you

Letting "GO"

Its funny how life changes right before your eyes.. I had the opportunity to talk with one of my friends today and he finally told me that he wasn't fully over his ex and for that reason (of course not that reason alone) he is not able to move forward because he hasn't let him go. For some reason I feel that this is an excuse to be stuck in a comfortable situation. I know that may seem harsh but the truth hurts. Reality talks to me a lot and I feel as if people let go of being selfish they can then let go of their ex. I know some of you are saying what does selfishness have to do with it.

"Picture it Sicily 2010" If a man tells you that he no longer wants to be with you, he's not happy with you, etc, Wouldn't you think that he means it? (I would). Now if this man is telling you that he does not want to be with you why not let him be happy with someone else? I know that it's natural human emotion to be sad/depressed (I know that's going to happen) when you break up with someone.. In my mind if someone tells me that they are not happy with me, I would want them to find that happiness with someone else (You damn right I will be hurt) and I will process those feelings that I have and move on (Not to someone else but I would let him be)..

I say all that to say, don't let your ex continue to dictate your life. How many times does he have to cheat on you before you realize "He's just not in to you". A lot of times we will miss out on what is truthfully suppose to be by holding on to what wasn't meant to be.. Take charge of your life and don't let someone who has found their happiness stop you from finding yours.

Sweet & Greet '09 **EXCLUSIVE**

Now recently I chilled with a few youtube and twitter buddies of mine. For those that know me know that this was the first time that I have ever encountered something of this magnitude. In the past I was against Gay Pride. Reason being well I really don't know but what I do know is that my mind haven't changed much. I would rather just be around a group of friends instead of among thousands of "us" but nonetheless I still had fun.. Watch the vid and tell me what ya'll think!
