How I Roll

Current mood: excited
Category: Writing and Poetry

In response to some recent blog comments, I exposed a few things about myself. First, most of these poems are from years ago. Second, the ones I wrote for women or on inspiration by women were all failures. My original goal was of course to get the girls. I never did. Well, there was one, but I like to think I had her love before I wrote her poems. Third, my intention now is to share these failures and few successes in order to gauge where I am now.

I have reached a recognizable marker along this journey. I know now I am in a much better place. My writing is recieved much better now than it ever was. I didn't know why until today.

I always wrote about the man I wanted to be for the woman I am still searching for. Today, I am realizing that level of manhood. I still have a ways to go, but I see the light. It shines bright like a flashlight in the daytime. I always wrote of hope. Now I write of anticipation. Its actually exciting.

I have you all, my readers, to thank. I have been on this path for a while. You make me certain it is the right one. So, thank you again (if you read the bulletin/for the first time if not) Ride with me some more. The good part is still coming. Be patient. This road is long and rocky. Rocky and fun. I don't know how that is possible except to say there is a confidence and calm in knowing Jesus walks with me on this. I can even see him in the form of all my friends and family. So praise be to him and thanks to you all for blessing me with this gift and staying with me when I wasted it, when I abandoned it and when I turned my back on everyone.

I have to rest now. So that I can give you all the best that I got.

Be good.





on pins and needles...waiting for more insight into such a creative mind!


see you soon!


the fact that you saw fit to let us your friends on myspace (some off) into your life on such a personal level speaks great volume about who you are as a man and friend. rather your poems are old or new it's still an expression of you. it lets your reader know where your train of thought is, and it just so happens you were not alone. as you post and people respond most if not all the time your readers are singing your praise and agreeing with you as they read along. so kudos to you as a poet/friend/inner voice to a world faced with many yet similar situations. so as one of your most faithful reader please keep up the good work and continue to let god use you as he sees fit.


much luv

I am so happy for you for reaching such a place and more importantly so, I'm happy you recognize it. This can only encourage you more with who and where you are and where you're going. How estatic too I was to hear you speak of your confidence and calm of it all and to actually owe that up to Jesus. I know you are spiritual and I like to see that come out in your writings and/or poetry like I've seen so often. You thank us, how modest of you. THANK YOU! Your fingers dance on these keys and produce rythms of bravery, growth, and insight, all from which we can learn. Thanks again.
