Many times the weaker of us reflect on what their parents/family did wrong or didn't do right as an excuse for where they are now. It is easy to let the immediate past block us from reflection on our ancestors. All of us have a past that includes many wars, genocides, plagues or any one of a million disasters, which could have ended our family trees long ago. We are descendent of survivors, of people with the vision and good fortune to prepare a future for us. We all have a purpose, which often includes the visions of our ancestors. We honor them by, at the very least, never giving up.
And the answer to my "Church People" question comes as soon as I return to church. (I was prepared to cuss out all of my readers for not giving me the answers) See how good God is!
The answer is - family.
Christmas threw me off with the scriptures for the week. I didn't get to read them on my own so, let's do it with out them this time. This is more about us as a collective of individuals anyway. In fact lets explore family. From Webster's:
1fam·i·ly
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English familie, from Latin familia household (including servants as well as kin of the householder), from famulus servant
Date: 15th century
1: a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head : household
2 a: a group of persons of common ancestry : clan b: a people or group of peoples regarded as deriving from a common stock : race
3 a: a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation : fellowship b: the staff of a high official (as the President)
4: a group of things related by common characteristics: as a: a closely related series of elements or chemical compounds b: a group of soils with similar chemical and physical properties (as texture, pH, and mineral content) that comprise a category ranking above the series and below the subgroup in soil classification c: a group of related languages descended from a single ancestral language
5 a: the basic unit in society traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children ; also : any of various social units differing from but regarded as equivalent to the traditional family family> b: spouse and children family>
6 a: a group of related plants or animals forming a category ranking above a genus and below an order and usually comprising several to many genera bin livestock breeding (1): the descendants or line of a particular individual especially of some outstanding female (2): an identifiable strain within a breed
7: a set of curves or surfaces whose equations differ only in parameters
8: a unit of a crime syndicate (as the Mafia) operating within a geographic area
All this time the answer was right in front of my face. I have so many families. I have my real family (with little subsets with that), my work family, my MySpace family, My Facebook, my school, my local family, my Los Angeles fam, my New Orleans fam.
All of them have their distinct characteristics. I am tied to the members of each of those families by a common bond that is stronger than all the corruption and fakery that exists within ALL of my families. And I make an effort to be active or at least present in all of my families.
So what was my hold up with the one family which should have the strongest bond. I mean I could go through one through eight of the definition and only have trouble finding a connection using number seven. I can even do number eight! After all, I am catholic.
The way father Chester described it is more simple: We may feel alone in the world for six days out of the week. On Sunday we know we can come "home" to our church family. We can feel safe within the confines of this gathering of like-minded individuals. In my church, that's actually one of the reasons I chose it. The uniformity of our worship ceremony is easily apparent and bonds us all together for an hour and a half.
So now that I want more, I guess I just deal with it the way I deal with all my other families. Learn who to deal with and who not to. The good thing about this church family is that when people try to latch onto me like they do in all my other families, at least they are people who are trying to live by a higher spiritual standard. If I have to dodge low-lifes anyway, it may as well be low –lifes who know how to pray.
HAPPY NEW
YEARS!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 AND MANY,MANY MORE
YES, MY HEBREW SON,THE LOVE OF JESUS WILL PUT YOU AT A HIGHER SPIRITUAL LEVEL WITH THE ABILITY TO TOUCH THE HEARTS OF THE MASSES BUT THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE IN ANY FAMILY WITHOUT GRACE OF GOD.

Church People
Current mood: cynical
Category: Religion and Philosophy
At the time of the 2004 indictment, Cross was teaching at DePaul University in Chicago.[7] On May 1, 2006, Cross pled guilty to fraud by embezzling millions of dollars in federal funds from the government and students.[8] She agreed to pay $11,000 to the Department of Education in restitution. Singh also pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement.
The prosecutor, U.S. Attorney David Nahmias, made a somewhat exculpatory statement at their sentencing: "When the defendants arrived at Morris Brown, the college was already in serious financial condition. Thereafter, these defendants misappropriated ... money in fairly complicated ways in what appears to have been a misguided and ultimately criminal attempt to keep Morris Brown afloat."[3]
They (CBS 46, Atlanta) interviewed the wrong people. I had been struggling with missing the last few weeks of church and even on the recent weeks I did go, not being able to provide you all with an adequate blog.
As I was passing the TV in the living room, the news had an article about Morris Brown College closing down. I had to check it out. It turns out they had suffered from a recent loss of accreditation and embezzlement scandals. The enrollment was actually down to 107 students. Having gone to large and small schools – I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT. They owe an over $300K water bill! WTF
And who did they interview – Church People.
In a city FULL of mega-churches with billions of dollars at their disposal, a school (the only, ONLY originally black college in Atlanta) founded by and affiliated with the A.M.E. church is not only having problems, IT"S CLOSING! It owes SO many people SO much money. It has NO students. You mean to tell me I pay tithes so these "prophets" (or is it "profits") can have bigger buildings, bigger cars, and bigger jets and historic institutions can just fade away like dust in the wind.
So, speaking of all that, I was asking myself why I was so hesitant to make it to church lately. I like my church. I want to be more active in it. But then, when it is time to sign my name on the "Time and Talent" form, I freeze up. This past month has made my phobia clear.
I don't want to become a "church person"
Let me tell you about church people-
Everywhere I've ever worked the concurrent idiom has been – do not serve church people. Since I was 14, church people don't tip. They want the most for the least. And they are not liable for anything. AND THEN, I moved to Atlanta. The buckle of the Bible belt.
Let's disregard the plethora of whores, cocksuckers and, to use my step-mother's favorite word growing up, hoochies who I've encountered since moving here. I want to get to the essence of church people.
It starts with a pastor who works where I work. I had just gotten here and respected the title when my cousin told me one of the mechanics at my job was a preacher…
…to hell with that.
What I encountered was nothing less than an African pimp hustling men and women (MAINLY women) out of their money. This married man of God obviously only has eyes for the demons between the legs of the congregation. This is the only man I encountered this past year who did not so much hear the words coming out of the Obama camp as he did notice the "fitting" dresses Michelle Obama was wearing. Some how where I notice only men fix cars and men bring in their daughters and wives' and sisters' cars, his only clientele is only women. AND they are all his "sisters" who look nothing like him. I don't know who you've been around but Africans have strong features and princes and princesses carry their parents features proudly.
But let me leave the "Pimp in the Pulpit" for now (I could go on forever on that demon) and focus on the congregation.
I have lost count of "favors" we've done for various church members. They have all turned out bad. And a few do stick out:
· There was "The Pimp in The Pulpit's" member who left her car on the lot for months while we searched for a reasonable priced differential. I initially thought we were just trying to save the lady money. Come to find out, the active church member had been filing insurance claims from an accident that happened two years ago. And The Pimp was helping her defraud the insurance company AGAIN. I only found out because The Pimp and the customer had filed the claim without our knowledge and the insurance company called the office to inform me the claim was denied AGAIN. - To date, The Pimp is still trying to get the money from the insurance company because, of course, the customer hasn't paid him or us anything.
· There is another church member who has abandoned their car here for the ENTIRE three years I have worked here.
And then –
· A member of my boss' church, who had bought a car from us before, had a great job, all her paperwork, all the Is dotted all the Ts crossed. Traded in a car, gave us the title plus the full down payment (which most customers never do). We set her up to pay monthly (which WE never do). She paid three out of her five payments and fell off the face of the earth. All of our calls went to voicemail. That is until we sent her to Repo. Mere seconds after the Repo Company received out fax, the Repo man calls excited. He has been looking for our customer for over a year. She owed a title pawn company for the very car she traded in to us. They were more than happy to take our car back from her. Suddenly, she called us. She "intended on paying us off tomorrow. Why did we send her to repo?" Of course, we got the car. She actually came and paid it off the next day. But not before bringing two other church members to tell me how bad a person I was. And of course, they promised to tell the pastor about my boss.
In all these cases, these aren't just people who go to the church. These are board members, Sunday school teachers, nursery helpers, office workers…really, really involved members of different churches. I could go on and on with stories but I just wanted to use a few examples to show why I am confused about what it means to be a church person. And this is not to say ALL church people are bad. My mom is a faithful member of her church and a true Christian person. My step-mom is another true Christian. My brother's mom is an excellent Muslim woman. Speaking of which, I have noticed people of religions and sects misrepresenting their churches.
So the question is how do I become more active in my church and avoid all the BS of being a "Church Member"? Or better yet, how do I stand being around all the other "Church Members" once I do become more active in the church?
By the way, Morris Brown has alumni. However, if my Black College experiences are any indication, I know why these successful men and women have turned their back on their alma mater.
The college's alumni include military officers, actors, authors and civil rights leaders such as the late Hosea Williams. (AJC)

Brother it is so funny that you mentioned this in your blog this week. I am actually having issues with church members myself. As I grow closer and deeper in the church the more I want to become less involved. The more I know, the more stressed I get. I too am very confused on my position in the church. I know God wants me to do more but as I do more the more disappointed I am with the church. I'm like this is backwards right. It is so crazy. It was so much simpler just sitting in sunday service taking notes and coming home. I keep praying and praying. I have to trust God will work it out but, then I wonder if I am the only one praying and then get discouraged. It is a mes and how could that be with God when mess is not of Him. So what do you do..........
Wow! Watch how good God is. "What I learned in Church" today gave me an answer.
OMGoodness....so I went to church today and everytime I go the pastor asks who wants to come down and become a member of the church...AND EVERYTIME I go I NEVER join and I actually LOOOOOOVE that church but I don't join because of the same reasons your sister mentioned. I want to enjoy the essence, pureness, and (for lack of a better word) "magic" of the service. I don't want to EVER get caught up in the politics or drama of the church....I love getting my blessings/lessons and growing spiritually....
This was a good one Jason...
Even Jesus said politics and church don't mix. Yet they always do. Naked-dick behavior is all around us. Everyone knows how I feel about Naked-Dickers

The Naked Dick Chronicles
Current mood: loved
Category: Romance and Relationships
Michael Baisden, Dr. Eric Michael Dyson, and Rev. Al Sharpton (or the lady who filled in for him) all talked about being single, dating outside your race, and the pressure of Valentines day. People gave all kinds of reasons why there was pressure to get married, date inside or out of the race and/or get a date for Valentines day. Everything from Willie Lynch (no really-Willie Lynch) to OJ (not really) to "over-education" to standards too high or too low. Over nine hours, only one person mentioned probably the most important quality in looking for a mate. Patience…

Why can't we wait? Naked dickers can't wait for rubbers. Serial daters can't wait for that right person. And we all end up hopping from person to person. Hoping, longing for someone, anyone. But we can't wait for THE one.
Do we really believe that it'll be that easy to find one person in 300,000,000 people in this country and 6 billion in this world? Do I need to add settling as an addictive behavior? Maybe we need a rehab for settlers. If the world was filled with more patient people, many of us wouldn't be here. I'd be willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of us all getting it right. (Yes, that's right. As a child of divorce I too am the result of two impatient naked dickers) It's rampant people!
70% of African American women have children out of wedlock. 50% of African Americans have herpes.
People.
There is just too much naked-dickin going on! Are you that pressed? I know its good. And yes, it definitely feels better. But where is the self control? Where is the vision? Or better yet, where is the commitment to our own dreams? Are we supposed to accept this as unchanging fact?
Sex is like any other vice. Like gambling, certain lesser drugs, drinking or whatever you may be into, it's not for everyone. Some people don't have the self control to to participate in these acts. Gambling addicts don't gamble, drug addicts and alcoholics admit they are powerless and struggle to quit. Some do it by choice. Some are court ordered. Naked dickin should be considered in the same breath as gambling addicts, alcoholics and druggies. Perhaps, we should court order the naked dickers to enter sex rehab. Admit they have no control over the pussy or dick. Submit to the higher power (Wilt Chamberlain) And quit having sex.
Naked dickin is for married people. Like Casinos are for old people. (Vegas is for the young and rich but all the rest goes to the retired.) Like drinking is for the grown and sexy.
I sense as you all are reading this, there is someone out there who feels like this is them. If you feel like this is you. You feel like a rampant naked dicker. It's not too late! Submit yourself. Come to the front of the church. The ministers will lay hands on you and pray for your privates. Be born again in the Magnum spirit. Wilt Chamberlain is looking down on you and he wants to heal your privates. Come on down and join us!
Let us pray…
Deep, I enjoyed reading it.
Peace
Brother you are so deep. Keep writing and expressing......
Very nice...I've seen way too many of my friends drop out of school because of this naked dicking and it needs to stop NOW....i have noone to party with because everyone is taking care of babies now UUUUUUUUUUUGHH!!! lol
You know you can roll with your boy. I'm getting a crew of the safety latex lovers together so we can get out party on in safety. Free from the threat of the naked dick.
On point!!! But while you mentioned African American women who have been infected by herpes, you neglected to mention that they are also the fastest growing population now being infected with the HIV/AIDS virus.
Yeah! You're right but a lot of people now about that. I was so shocked to hear about the herpes numbers. It's ridiculous!
By the way, I missed your comments. Glad you dug this one.
Good thoughts.... and I was all ready to come down to the front of the church until you said the preacher was gonna pray for my privates. LOL. But really, this is so true and even with all the risks we still take sex so lightly.
nice baby :)
Wow!!!! This was very interesting to read and it was very true!!!!!

Word(s) of The Day: RIP Niggahs (RePost)
This is a re-post, re-post. I ended up not completing my new blog and SO many new people want to know what Naked Dickin is. So here it is. AGAIN (I'm Still breaking from writing)
So how many people knew August 22, 2007 was the nationwide memorial for the"N" word?...
I thought so.I honor of August 22, 2007. And as retribution for my incessant use of the "N" word. I have two new Words Of The Day.
Word Of The Day 1
Dick-Control
Dick-Control is easy to explain. It only has about three percent to do with sex. Dick-Control (which can also be called Pussy-Control for the P.C.[but fuck Pussies!]) is all about self control. The sexual reference explains it all and it stops there and continues in your everyday life. Sexually, it takes practice and patience to truly have dick-control. In life, it takes the same. Unfortunately, many people try to have dick control in bed and never apply the same principles in life. The result is a truly tumultuous life. In niggah talk, we runnin around with big dicks and cain't fuck.
I noticed the parallel after listening to a slew of niggahs talking about fucking all the time. But not really having any control over the important aspects of their lives. When I really listened though, I noticed these dudes didn't actually have any dick control. I mean, at no time talking with these guys do they ever seem in control. The option of not fucking is not available for them. Standards do not exist. They live by no rules or codes. It was then I realized what Dick-Control really was. Think about people we view as non-sexual who are extremely successful. We may say - Fuck that! I got to get mine. But is that (Sex, morons) what we really want. How often do you put your goals on hold for temporary pleasures? The answer to that is what Dick-Control is all about.Practice tantra. Learn your self. Become master of your domain. And lead your life in the direction YOU choose. Good luck bitches!
Word Of The Day 2
Naked-Dickers
This is the new "N" word. Since, as I've noticed these past few days, niggahs have not gone away at all. To the contrary, niggahs are thriving. Someone is seeing fit actually give niggahs money and put them on pedestals (slave blocks) as role models for the youth. It is to the point where niggahs and niggardom is going beyond race, region, sexual orientation, religion, and even class. So we still need a word to verbalize the existence (most time in frustration) of these collective low lifes. That word is Naked-Dicker.
A naked-dicker is derivative of the verb Naked-Dickin which is the act of having sex with a bare dick and pussy. Naked-Dickin is practiced exclusively by unmarried couples (or married people having sex with people they are not married too[sinners]). You can be a naked-dicker by naked-dickin but just like niggardom, naked-dickers have grown to include virgins, sexual and non-sexual people as well as already being spread across classes, races and social standings. Naked-Dickers are modern day niggers.
Just like niggahs, their attitude and behavior show no class, no restraint, no responsibility, no childcare, no planning, and most importantly, no rubbers. Since the entertainment industry, drug trade, real estate and McDonald's are making niggahs rich, we wonder who it is draining our tax dollars, besides George Bush. It is naked-dickers.
Naked-Dickers have kids they can't afford, call them miracles and ask us to support their unplanned families. Or they expect to be rewarded for taking care of responsibilities they bring upon themselves. Let's give Johnny a paid vacation (although he is constantly late to work after just starting two days ago) because he is struggling to take care of the three kids and five babie's-mamas (and doing a mediocre job at that). Yay for Johnny! He's an OK baby-daddy! Let's have a parade for OK baby-daddies! And let's give Tasha a pardon for stealing diapers for her six kids who are all the same age and have (According to Maury Povich) 14 fathers. While we're at it lets give her hella food stamps and a gang of money.
Today, naked-dickers are taking it so far beyond the kids! Naked-Dickers are not responsible for anything they do. If they didn't go to school and do their homework the way they should, who are you to give them a hard time for not being able to read. How dare you be afraid to hire a felon! He/she wouldn't have a record if it wasn't for snitches. Speaking of which, Naked-Dickers are behind that ridiculous Stop-Snitching campaign as well as all those dumb-assed T-shirts that announce proudly - I sell drugs.
Sound's like niggahs to me! So there you have it. Naked-Dickers in all there pitiful splendor.
mmmmm, no comments; maybe this was a little too deep for some, maybe it hit home for some.
I know huh!
lol Naked Dickers????? I do agree with the dick-control chapter.
JR
Somebody email Webster....
Wow! Ok so what is a Naked Dicker again??? lol
per your definition, married people having sex with people they are not married to would be classified as sinners... so naked-dicking is not sinning by your definition? just trying to get your facts straight. -B
Married people are not included in the equation at all. Amongst unmarried people, the sin is in the naked-dickin. As seed is being spilt the during the entire session of intercourse (Not just the end) naked dicking is causing you to spill seed in a woman who is not your wife or (maybe most important) not meant to be your wife.
Ive got the perfect one that they have put on the slave blocks as role models for our youth:
The picture Mike is trying to post is PLIES. I am falling out my chair laughing at the "Goon Prince of Naked-Dickers"
Damn my nigga! That changes EVERYTHING! Gotta start putting out now. Damn near most bitches aint even worth it anyway!
So how many people knew August 22, 2007 was the nationwide memorial for the"N" word?...
I thought so.I honor of August 22, 2007. And as retribution for my incessant use of the "N" word. I have two new Words Of The Day.
Word Of The Day 1
Dick-Control
Dick-Control is easy to explain. It only has about three percent to do with sex. Dick-Control (which can also be called Pussy-Control for the P.C.[but fuck Pussies!]) is all about self control. The sexual reference explains it all and it stops there and continues in your everyday life. Sexually, it takes practice and patience to truly have dick-control. In life, it takes the same. Unfortunately, many people try to have dick control in bed and never apply the same principles in life. The result is a truly tumultuous life. In niggah talk, we runnin around with big dicks and cain't fuck.

Word Of The Day
Current mood: bouncy
Category: Life
Naked Dickin
The word is quite literal. It refers to having sex without any form of birth control. The dick is naked people! Hence, the term Naked Dickin. I can (AND WILL) go on and on about Naked Dickers. (People who recklessly have Naked Dick sex) That's another time and another word.
Talking about naked dickin... it's a shame we have to live in fear of disease! All dicks should be able to be naked. lmao...
OH NO! That's nuckin Futs!
But I do get the sentiment and agree probably on a completely different level.

Word Of The Day (Re-Run)
Current mood: touched
Category: Life
Two words! One Day! (I promise I'm still writing productive things- MOM)
This word is one you already know. It's just one of my favorites
Retarded
Did you know it's OK to say retarded when referring to a person of limited mental abilities? It's also OK to call someone retarded (even to their face!). You can be extra P.C. and add mentally to the front if you like.
It's not OK to say Retard or Tard. As is - Hey Retard! Or - I looked like a tard in that picture. Bad form guys. Poor form.
But think. Being retarded is one of the few things a person will always admit to if he really is in fact retarded. Truly dumb people will never admit to being dumb. A real idiot will never call himself that. A retard will say he is retarded day in and day out.
Brilliant!
...or will he/she? Maybe there are retards trying to live like ordinary people...
Do retarded people actually know that they are? It's a word I find I don't use that often anymore. PC used to be "mentally challenged", but now is leaning more toward "developmentally delayed". We even ask patients if they have any developmental delays when admitting them to the hospital. The sad thing is, it's almost a mockery, cause if they had any delays they probably wouldn't be able to answer the question.
interesting. retarded means slow and there's no harm in being slow. u still get there.
but being stupid makes no damn sense! lol

Racism 101
Current mood: working
Category: Life
When I started UCLA, I was militant. So militant it was ridiculous. RIDICULOUS! I learned a lot of hatred from a radical group. They taught me to read the bible though. Too bad for them. That was my escape. I read well. I read between the lines and left the hatred. Reading is Fundamental. Thank you for reading.
So I grew out of it. I realized racism was just a trick to keep people poor. Everyone has dreams. Some people have vision. A few even have drive. But waaaay waaaay Less people actually achieve their ultimate level of success. Most quit or settle for far less.
Why?
Racism allows us to be victims. Even white men have a "good Reason" for accepting failure. It's reverse racism. It's the Million Man/Woman/Puerto Rican/Gay/Lesbian/Black Man/Black Woman/Promise Keepers(What-The-Who-The Fuck are these guys)/ I'm just not working this weekend so let's go to DC and complain about why I'm not rich - Marches that have no conclusion. (They all promised to find a solution. Now they won't answer the phone when I call.)
Well, Dick Gregory did, indirectly. I was reading a book about him and he offered this:
"I would say to young folks [I think that's us]: don't be in a state of denial about racism and sexism. But don't let it block you. Don't teach your children that you have to be twice as good as a white. That's an awful thing to teach a child. That's like saying, because you're black, white America has a right to change your dollar for 94 cents. We used to get 50 cents. Before that we got nothing. Young folks have to say, "We want a full dollar's change for a dollar, or this cash register will never ring again."
That's it! I had this blog unfinished until I read that. Dick Gregory is the man and we forget about him so often. We've learned to not only expect racism and/or sexism but to accept it. I say reject it when you see it. Be prepared but act in shock when it appears. Refuse it but realize that the person on the opposite side of your situation (if there is no specific person or situation, there is no racism) is suffering from the disease just as you are. Be the bigger person. Heal yourself. Then show the world how to do the same.
Amen. Well said.
"Reading is Fundamental. So remember to read." Ms Noble all the way! awesome principal!
Militant babes! I'm militant. Not as bad no more.
Dude - we DO have to be twice as good as friggin white folks!
All we have to do is stay who we are. We ARE twice as good when we are working at our full potential. The point of the statement is is to alleviate the stress that comes with thinking we have to be twice as good as white people. Today our only competition is with ourselves. The final frontier is erasing the stigmas we have embedded deep within our psyche.
Once we repair the damage done to our inner selves, the sky is the limit. Thinking things like that will not help us repair ourselves.
Finally!!!!! Which Dick Gregory book did you reference from?
JR
Nigger
(Refering to your last comment) True, true. In time we shall all heal internaly, but only if we try!
JR
Not even try.Just get our punk asses out of bed and do something to be proud of!

What I Learned In Church...Again!
Current mood: blessed
Category: Life
Anyone who's been with me since the beginning of the year, I apologize. I have been on vacation it feels like since my birthday. True, I have put out some popular blogs. But my purpose is more than that. I need to share what I learn with as many people as I can.
So before we have church, let me share a few things I have learned or am still learning since March:
Black vodka makes an excellent dirty martini, I have no idea how I used to mix it in 2002 but since I was in New Orleans it is safe to assume I drank it straight.
I can get fat. My horoscope says people born on my date will never have weight problems…bullshit! I cry "Shenanigans!" on horoscopes. They also tell me I'm going to get a ton of loving and I end up at home reading Indian erotica. So let me make my own fortune for the time being. And let me get my big ass back in the gym!
Mike was right. I am an asshole. Sometimes being nice is not what will help people. I want to be helpful more than I want to be nice, at times, more than I want to be liked. Like it would be nice if I could take all you to all the different churches and learning experiences I've been to and let you see what I have seen. But it doesn't work like that so I write and hopefully, my stream of thought comes across for the rest of you all to understand. Plus, I'm tired of yall embarrassing me at church. WAKE UP NIGGAH! DANG! Cain't take yall nowhere!
To emphasize this, the gospel [Matthew Chapter 15] we read was about Jesus not only ignoring and dismissing a woman he also called her a dog. Jesus called a female a dog. A female dog…
That wasn't the message on Sunday though. Father John wanted us all to be more welcoming of each other as church members. Be together! Church is a house of fellowship. Our missions may be individual but we are connected by a few common principles. Church is supposed to be where we celebrate that connection. And in the world, we can find a way to connect and communicate with our fellow human beings.
Even churches and churchgoers get caught up in the times. With so much reality TV going on, how many of us catch ourselves becoming fascinated with the lives of demons. We have to pay attention to ourselves when we fail to see the common themes in other human beings. People may be a different religion, race, income, intelligence, nationality, sex, age, political party, sexual orientation; drive a different car, live on the other side of town, go to different clubs, join different gangs. It's even so bad; drug users discriminate against other drug users!
It was predicted that Jesus would come and be refused. In Isaiah chapter 56 it was even foretold that strangers would be able to share the blessing of the chosen people. Since the Israelites rejected Jesus, salvation was offered to the rest of the world to make Israel jealous. So now, God is not local anymore. He's got worldwide distribution. He's bigger than the Internet! And sometimes you will be surprised who has a good word for you. The people who "should have" understood are not always the ones who do. Many are called...
Racism is not even the big thing now. There is too much separation at home, at work, at church, all over the world. Yeah, we are all different and we are all into different things but there will always be something in common with the person next to you. They are there with you. You may think your co-worker is retarded but guess what? Your dumb ass applied for the same job as the retard! Just be there as a coworker. Quit worrying how your neighbor rolls. You live in the same wack ass neighborhood! Mow his lawn if it bothers you that much. Other wise, shut your yap and live. If your apartment neighbor is jamming too loud, go party! Leave the lady in the express lane with 50 groceries alone! She can't count…NO WAIT! Forget that! Throw something at that damned lady! Don't worry about what kind of person is there with you. Just be happy that SOMEONE is there.
We are not alone. If we close our eyes and cover our ears sometimes, we can learn to just be. And then maybe we will learn to be with others.
All this week lets see if we can't learn to erase the separation within our own communities…
EXACTLY! And see I need to put aside my fear of bad food, or voodoo and focus on the greater good. All that matters is we are both hungry, YOU have food and you are sharing. Forget the negatives. Let's focus on the positives to acheive our common goals. And thank you for the food! I may be a little late and a lot drunk when I get there...
Preach, brotha preach! This is another reason why you need to watch American Zeitgeist!
JR
just wait until my diatribe on the latests violaters!
The King Kids
The more I read your blogs and of course some of the comments, the more that I learn about you. Interesting.......
I tell the people. If you wanna know me, it's all here!

People may be a different religion, race, income, intelligence, nationality, sex, age, political party, sexual orientation; drive a different car, live on the other side of town, go to different clubs, join different gangs. It's even so bad; drug users discriminate against other drug users!
It was predicted that Jesus would come and be refused. In Isaiah chapter 56 it was even foretold that strangers would be able to share the blessing of the chosen people. Since the Israelites rejected Jesus, salvation was offered to the rest of the world to make Israel jealous. So now, God is not local anymore. He's got worldwide distribution. He's bigger than the Internet! And sometimes you will be surprised who has a good word for you. The people who "should have" understood are not always the ones who do. Many are called...
Racism is not even the big thing now. There is too much separation at home, at work, at church, all over the world. Yeah, we are all different and we are all into different things but there will always be something in common with the person next to you. They are there with you. You may think your co-worker is retarded but guess what? Your dumb ass applied for the same job as the retard! Just be there as a coworker. Quit worrying how your neighbor rolls. You live in the same wack ass neighborhood! Mow his lawn if it bothers you that much. Other wise, shut your yap and live. If your apartment neighbor is jamming too loud, go party! Leave the lady in the express lane with 50 groceries alone! She can't count…NO WAIT! Forget that! Throw something at that damned lady! Don't worry about what kind of person is there with you. Just be happy that SOMEONE is there.
We are not alone. If we close our eyes and cover our ears sometimes, we can learn to just be. And then maybe we will learn to be with others.
All this week lets see if we can't learn to erase the separation within our own communities…
EXACTLY! And see I need to put aside my fear of bad food, or voodoo and focus on the greater good. All that matters is we are both hungry, YOU have food and you are sharing. Forget the negatives. Let's focus on the positives to acheive our common goals. And thank you for the food! I may be a little late and a lot drunk when I get there...
Preach, brotha preach! This is another reason why you need to watch American Zeitgeist!
JR
just wait until my diatribe on the latests violaters!
The King Kids
The more I read your blogs and of course some of the comments, the more that I learn about you. Interesting.......
I tell the people. If you wanna know me, it's all here!
The King Children
Current mood: argumentative
Category: Life
So I live in Atlanta (The Metro Area). My church is across the street from the King Memorial and around the block from the King childhood house. The King family still holds a little weight around these parts. However, since Coretta passed, all HELL has broken loose.
Most recently, Dexter King is suing Bernice King and Martin Luther King III claiming they've opened competing centers. In July, Bernice and Martin sued Dexter to get him to open the King Center's books.
So, too sum up. the middle remaining child is throwing a public tantrum over the oldest and youngest children's new toys. All of this is probably in response to the oldest and youngest's previous tantrum over the middle child taking over the old toybox. Three 40 and 50 year old babies acting out because they miss mommy and daddy.
I'll tell you no one misses Mommy and Daddy more than the rest of us. Martin Luther King Jr. is a rare breed not because he could walk on water like Jesus, and he didn't starve himself like Gandhi. He was like all three because he gave up being a regular husband and father to be our leader. His connection with the world went beyond his family. Maybe that's is the biggest sacrifice he made. Even bigger than his own life. Because all we left with is his legacy and three crying ass babies.
People always ask if we are living Dr. King's dreams today. Barack is going to win the presidency, largely due to the help of "The Queen of All Media" Oprah Winfrey. We feel a little less scared to talk crazy to white people. Some people say we still have a way to go.
I wonder what Dr. King would say.
And now it's his children showing their asses. So, even in a family that represents unity there is discord. We may be working so hard to get the outside world to accept each other that we are neglecting our own families, our own communities, our own congregation, and our own co-workers. Are we being lazy and disguising it as lofty ideals. "Yeah let's save the world. Who cares if MY child falls off, I'll be a hero to the world."
We forgive geniuses for having messy rooms. We marvel at the successful business woman with a meticulous house and the messy love life. We pay tithes to pastor who can't keep his dick in his pants. It's been OK to neglect certain parts of our lives for success in others. How can we feel complete as a community if we look down on some and look past others?
Church members look into each other's bedrooms, love lives, businesses, bank accounts. Let's stick to the basics. Make sure every member has a bible. Make every member knows how to read. Let's do what we can for our family members. If we are getting played and playing games in our own family, what are we going to put out to the world when we go out there? If we can't keep it real with people we've been around all our lives, who is going to trust you outside your house.
What do you all say? Is it OK to neglect your family to focus on the world? Is the King family just keeping it real? Don't all families have problems? Or is that the problem with the world? Is it wrong that we assume families should be dysfunctional?
Let me hear it. All I know is I'm tired of fighting over dumb shit!
well my brotha you have brought up a good point. Have many of us gotten so focused on what the world thinks that we have forgotten about family. Are we to buy trying to make a dollar instead of spending quality time with our children. What are we teaching our children about family. You know they learn rom example. Have many of us gotten to tired and lazy to even take the time to focus on family. Or are we to busy minding others business and judging others instead of caring. What did Martin give his life for. I thought it was for us to have the freedom of caring for our family as a people not individuals. Why does it seem like other races are taking full advantage of the door Martin opened when he opened it for all of us. Makes me wonder. So many people need to stop talking and start listening and doing something positive. Change is now and these fools don't even see it. So sad.
THIS IS MY SISTER EVERYBODY!!!
That's how we ROLL!
Hey Jason...(jus wanted to say hi first)..anyhoo do u remember the times when ur parents would leave u and ur sibling(s) @ home alone? Same thing..let the chaos begin... Being the middle girl of three girls there was always some sorta double teaming going on and sometimes I was on the outside of the duo determined to cause some mess.. "It's a family affair" that's what they say...even the Cosby's(in real life) didn't live upto the persona they displayed on television. Bill possibly fathering another child (proven to be false but he clearly had an affair)...Lisa Bonet's sex scene @ age 19 in "Angel Heart" It's all simple til that child starts to see themselves as an individual and there decisions grow beyond deciding on what cereal they want in the morning....nurturing, loving, and caring for them doesn't always determined that that seed will grow into a beautiful "Afican Violet".. Thank u for Jason Pearlicia
Oh yeah when the parents left...
But I'm no porn addict or sex fiend. (I think) In fact, I am pretty sure that all the unsupervised shenanigans in my life were over ruled by what I knew my parents believed was best for me. I'm not a perfect child and a far from perfect as an adult but I work towards honoring my parents with the work that is my life. I'm an individual but I still come from a family and maybe it's the competitive edge in me but I want my family to improve not disintegrate.
I think that the family is having every regular family problems, but since their family before them were public figures, it gives them another way to whine and cry about the others.
We have a local lady who owned a pizza place, and had 4 kids. The one moved back, and forced the other two into lesser roles, so they opened their own. The mom and sister immediately blocked them from using any recipe's that the old place had. But it didn't get into the public eye, because they didn't have the popularity that Dr King had obviously.
Unfortunately, people like to surround themselves with yes people, and not common sense people, so we get stupid things like this
Damned Yes people! That's why I only deal with people different than me. Everybody is not supposed to match all the time!
All families are dysfunctional. All you have to do is catch them when they think nobody's watching. The question becomes how readily do we throw our business into the public spotlight? How eager are we to put each other down in order to uplift ourselves? I am the oldest of 4 kids. My mom worked hard to make up for what my dad wasn't around to do. We fought like cats and dogs when she went to work. But when she got home she'd line us up like little soldiers. I can almost remember the speech word for word... the theme was that this world is full of obstacles and it is the family's responsibility to always uphold and support the other members. We were punished more severely for hurting each other than for any other offense. Even as adults, we know that we are not perfect, and we don't always agree, but we never tear each other down. No matter what. Charity starts in the home. That's how you build good citizens.
Wonderful family values! The problem with people in public demand sometimes is they have to sacrifice the home life for the public one. And we see what happens to the neglected children, no matter who their parents are.

Strawberry Letter
Current mood: blessed
Category: Romance and Relationships
I was half-sleep listening to the radio yesterday morning. THIS woke me up! Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse:
Am I Doing Right By Her?
Hi Shirley, Steve, and Tommy im a 35 year old manager of a company and im having issues with my relationship. My girlfriend has been complaining about my sexual performance and earlier last year on my 35th birthday (9/22) i came home early from work to see my girlfriend having sex with another man..However, i was not suprized because around June i overherd my girlfriend and her friends joking about my sexual length, width, and performance. I had thoughts of leaving her sometimes. I only think she stays with me for my money. She has an 8 year old son whom i get along with great she often tells me im a waste of a good looking brother. Since December we both agreed i cannot satisfy her and I've been paying the man she has been cheating on me with 300 dollars a week to sleep with her and keep her satisfied. I give an extra 100 dollars if she wants him to spend the night. I'm going out of my mind right now while she is sleeping with another man. As I write this, I'm in her sons room playing video games with him while she's with this man. More than once I have found myself sleeping in his room. . . he sleeps at the foot of the bed while i sleep at the head of the bed. I often cry myself to sleep and recently she has been talking to me with attitudes and disrespecting me and telling her friends. Her friends now call me Norbit and think its funny....i hate my life. I am a 35 year old man sleeping in a small bed with an 8 year old with super hero bedsheets. Is there anyway my relationship could get any worse than this? ps. Shirley does size really matter? sincerly Am I Doing Right By Her?
What a biggity, bitch! This man can't even compare his self to Norbit. Even Norbit had a fine woman chasing him. This man has no women. I'm willing to bet he lives in Atlanta because this is the epicenter of weak, simple men in this country. He doesn't even have as much money as he thinks. If he did, his house would have another room for him to sleep in. Yet, the genius thinks he can afford $1200 to $4800 a month for his girlfriend to pay her gigolo.
He could be donating his money, if he really had it like that. Hippy chicks like philanthropists and they don't mind bad sex so much. He could be investing, stacking his so-called MONEY and REALLY getting wealthy. Then the women that are after him for his money won't give a care how bad he is in bed. Or he could just spend the money on himself. Buy hookers! Or go to the strip club. $1200 can go a long way and if you have more…
And then today!
Good Man as Long as We're Not in the Bed
Steve and Shirley, I have a bit of a dilemma I have been single for 2 years after a bitter break up with my husband of 10 yrs. who was very insecure, jealous, and emotionally abusive. I have now met a man who is secure in whom he is, has a great job, and is good with my children. As we began to spend time together I thought in the beginning that he was avoiding having sex with me because he really liked me and wanted to wait. Well as time has progressed my home was broken into and he end up moving in my home so I could feel secure. Now that I'm over the fear of being alone and ready to be intimate I find out he has a problem rising to the occasion. At first he blamed it on the medicine he was taking and keeps saying he told the doctor but still no answers to why. Not only that at night he wants to fondle me but can't please me, and when I get angry he wants to talk dirty and say just wait I'm going to take care of you. Now I am a good woman and patient but I need satisfaction and I am not receiving it. Now I am confused as to if I should end the relationship or find a maintenance man? I know this man is good to me but he cannot satisfy my sexual appetite and that's a problem I have been waiting 2 yrs to be faced with this. Help me please.. Sincerly, Been waiting to long for this
I HAD TO ADD THIS ONE!
Both these men suffer from the same affliction. They have no sense of self. Everyone has a place. Everyone has a match. These men are in situations they don't belong in. They need to find their matches. Some women out there are into the Micropenis.
The truth is the only size that matters is the size or these:
No woman wants a man with baby balls.
Men need big nuts! Men need to stand up for themselves. Stand up for who you are. Whoever you are!
Big thing, small thing, performance is affected by the partner. If you are not compatible with the person you're with, find the mate for you. The first guy may feel weak now but if he sucked it up and went out and found his true mate, he could be banging it out the box. With the right stimulus guy 2 could go from noodle boy to cucumber man.
I'm not talking about little blue pills or any thing unnatural:
I'm talking about the 90% of sex. Too many focus on the 10%
If we start back focusing on the 90 and tried reconnecting with our trues selves before we run out to share anything with the world or that one HOT girl! [She's WAY too hot for you!] , we can truly begin to enjoy what life has to offer us. These men need some time alone AND they need to learn to be OKAY with it. Then they can go out and find what excites them.
Good luck to them and to you all!
Oh shit! I forgot about celibacy! Maybe if the second guy saved it for the one he is supposed to be with he would be still going today.
Ohhh!!! All the nice ladies with so many delights for the patient man. FELLAS!!! We better get on board. Good stuff in the future
Good stuff...
I feel sorry for these men. I agree w/ all points made by you and your other readers. But it seems so apparent that these relationships lack true love. If a man loves a woman he should be able to find other ways of pleasing her. And if she loves him she will realize that he is a man, not a god, and help him to overcome. What's wrong with these people trying some different toys or techniques? Are they doing the 24-hour play that R Kelly told them about in the 90's? And there are not enough good men to go around for women to be dogging the good ones!
Love!!! True Love....
What a wonderful thing
UPDATE 2010
I might live with the second guy. His girl told me the same thing a few months ago. But she said it's because he is diabetic and he doesn't want to admit he is. SAME shit to me as above. And he keeps telling me he's pimpin and these women don't turn him on. One thing I HATE is niggahs lying on they dicks. If you're fucking, I don't care either way. If a woman doesn't turn you on, leave her. If you keep messing with her and she keeps telling EVERYONE you don't fuck her, you have a problem or two. Personal problems and with all personal problems. Keep that shit to yourself.

A Few Things
Current mood: contemplative
Category: MySpace
I don't really write these kinds of blogs. I've just been having a few things on my mind lately:
Let me start with announcements:
I just signed up for 5000 texts and picture messages a month. I STILL will not be texting as much. After three texts each, we are having a conversation. When you get "call when you can.", the texting is over till you call.
I will be deleting almost ALL my new "friends". I just want you to read my blogs. I don't want to chat (unless it's about my blogs). I am not trying to get at you. [Even though some of you...(What I dream about doing..)] I am sticking to my REAL friends on MySpace and those who support my writing. So, goodbye babies!
I usually don't talk about my life but I have been so focused on living, there is little else to talk about lately.
I'm beginning to believe you can't be nice to people. You have to hold back. People truly take kindness for weakness. Even though people who do that to me are in for a rude awakening, I'm getting tired of pulling the rug out from under people. It's not just random people trying to take advantage. It's dating, It's not being monogamous [CLEARLY STATED AT THE OUTSET] but being too nice. It's women going WAY overboard to hold on to something that isn't there.
There was a blog a young guy used to write from LA about that very thing and I hadn't experienced it yet. I thought he was embellishing or leaving something out. He HAD to be making promises to these women. NOT THE CASE! Bachelors have to have rules. Can't break them NOT ONE BIT!
I have more...
...And not only in the dating world. I have always worked in customer service. Car sales though! Is WAY different! If you are nice to a customer on a car lot or repair shop or tire shop (just a few of the many things we do here!), they WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE! All day the broke people call begging. EVERYDAY! Sucking the life out us. With the heat and the price of gas, I'm going to have to politely ask all my customers to GET OUT OF MY DAMNED FACE!!!. Thank you kindly.
I'm done venting for now. I have some hearts to go break...
No more texts???? Oh NO!!!! What's the world coming to? LOL! We are becoming a text happy society aren't we? Guess what, I heard there's actually a language for texts and you can add it to your job resume'...now aint that some shit?
I gotta say hold up on deleting the friends. After all, what would life be if 500 complete strangers couldn't read your most intimate thoughts on a regular basis?
And, I can't speak about being nice to people. But, I do believe that slapping is a vastly underutilized form of physical expression! Damn it, sometimes people just don't get it! But, we should be more than willing to help.
And, in conclusion, LONG LIVE THE PLAYA RULES! Like you said it's dating, it ain't a relationship!
Wow...I agree with you on everything you express.
I can't stand texting. pick up the phone and call me. It's okay to text once in a while, but if everytime we talk, it's through a text...I'm annoyed, i don't like it, yet i'm too nice to tell them, so i go ahead and text back.
And it seems like i can't be nice without a guy thinking i want them or that i'm trying to win points with them or that i'm trying to compete with other women their dating. Naturally i am nice, caring and giving. If i'm albe to, i will help you out and be there for you, but that doesn't mean i want to hook up with you, And when i pull back, because their getting the wrong idea, all of a sudden i'm considered mean.
i do things not expecting anything back.
As far as deleting your NEW friends: i understand, that's why my page is private, that's why not even my family can request me as a friend when they find me, have to request them and that's why everyone who is on my page are people i know personally, people i have interacted with on a personal level. Well, i'm sure the people you let go, will miss you and probably regret their actions.
I know this cat Twis(You know who i'm talking about) ain't speaking bout the playa rules!!!! lol
I had to comment about this. Well when it comes to being too nice to a female in that particular context you will be over time eventually looked at as a wuss! I say be mean if it warrants itself, and when I say that I mean be yourself! If your an asshole by trade then be an asshole with the opposite sex. If they are really trynna get to know you then you will know. You don't have to commandeer yourself to someone else's standards when it comes to a relationship. Its better this way because both parties know where they stand! If your not an asshole and you really are a nice guy then be that and nothing else. That particular other will eventually come around! Don't stress........
In essence: BE YOURSELF(Whatever your comfortable with).
No Kudos

BTW stop dreaming about talking to the ones you want to talk to on myspace and just send them a note because you never know untill you try........
JR
Oh I do! Only ever do. Never try.
<---Just realized LA is not his friend and is not subscribed to his blog :-O
(Damn, that was QUICK.)
BTW: I replied to your blog comment - Gracias.

OMG!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THIS MAN IS THE KING OF BLOGS. FORGET ALL THAT CORNY SHIT PEOPLE DO TO GET THEIR BLOGS READ. READ THIS MAN FOR PURE INFOTAINMENT!
CHASE SWAYZE!!!LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!
Let me just say I just starting texting 2 months ago. While I believe that texting has its place (trying to conserve day time minutes, too loud to have a conversion where you are, just needing to a relay a quick note, etc) it should not be your main form of conversion. It would take forever to get to know someone that way. And there is no way an emoticon can relay feelings better that the inflection in someone's voice. So I say pick up the phone!
Also, If you are a nice guy, continue being nice. Don't let people change who you are as a person. I know some people read more than what's there, but just change your interactions with those individuals. I try to be nice in general but sometimes nice just doesn't cut it, so get where your coming from. But I know I feel about myself when I am nice to others. But sometimes, not often, the bitch comes out. And then I think, well I tried to be nice but he only understood bitch.
Just adding my two cents...
I get the same when I choose to assert my authoritai! All of a sudden not being a pushover makes you pushy.
Good grief.
You're safe baby! I'm going to need somewhere to crash next year for Caribana.
Category: MySpace
I don't really write these kinds of blogs. I've just been having a few things on my mind lately:
Let me start with announcements:
I just signed up for 5000 texts and picture messages a month. I STILL will not be texting as much. After three texts each, we are having a conversation. When you get "call when you can.", the texting is over till you call.
I will be deleting almost ALL my new "friends". I just want you to read my blogs. I don't want to chat (unless it's about my blogs). I am not trying to get at you. [Even though some of you...(What I dream about doing..)] I am sticking to my REAL friends on MySpace and those who support my writing. So, goodbye babies!
I usually don't talk about my life but I have been so focused on living, there is little else to talk about lately.
I'm beginning to believe you can't be nice to people. You have to hold back. People truly take kindness for weakness. Even though people who do that to me are in for a rude awakening, I'm getting tired of pulling the rug out from under people. It's not just random people trying to take advantage. It's dating, It's not being monogamous [CLEARLY STATED AT THE OUTSET] but being too nice. It's women going WAY overboard to hold on to something that isn't there.

Strawberry Letter 23 (Repost) Plus some thoughts
Current mood: angsty
Category: Life
I always listen to the Strawberry Letter on The Steve Harvey Morning Show. Since I can't call AND I don't want to be limited to thirty seconds, here is my response to the following letter.
Subject: Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
GOOD MORNING STEVE, SHIRLY,CARLA AND TOMMY. I AM 19 YRS OLD SOON TO BE 20 IN SEPTEMBER,I LIVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHO IS 34 YRS OLD.I CHOOSE TO LEAVE MY FAMILY IN NEW YORK TO STAY WITH HIM, HE IS A GREAT MAN I LOVE HIM A LOT ALTHOUGH WE'VE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER AND BEEN TOGETHER FOR A YEAR AND A HALF HE TEACHES ME SO MUCH.HE HASN'T DONE ME WRONG YET AND I DON'T THINK HE WILL. ALL HIS FRIENDS TELL ME HE HAS CHANGED FROM THE MAN HE USE TO BE AND HE REALLY LOVES ME HE SAYS I'M THE ONE AND I BELIEVE HIM BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE TREATS ME. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I GIVE THIS MAN MY ALL? I MEAN AT 19 SHOULD I CHOOSE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HIM.? WE BOTH SAY WE DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ANY ONE ELSE BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT. I USE TO THINK I WAS READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP I EVEN WANTED TO HAVE A BABY BUT BEING WITH HIM MADE ME REALIZE I'M NOT AS MATURE AS I THOUGHT I WAS.SOMETIMES HE TELLS ME TO GROW UP AND WHEN I TELL HIM THIS RELATIONSHIP STUFF IS NEW TO ME HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. I'M DON'T KNOW ALL THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO ALL THE TIME AND I REALLY DON'T THINK I SHOULD LISTEN TO EVERYONE ELSE'S ADVICE BECAUSE EVERY RELATIONSHIP IS DIFFERENT. WHAT SHOULD I DO I THINK ITS TO LATE TO TAKE IT SLOW SO HOW CAN I PROTECT MY HEART AND STILL EXPERIENCE LIFE? HOW CAN I LET HIM SEE I AM MATURE ENOUGH TO BE HIS LITTLE LADY AND STILL ENJOY BEING YOUNG. SIGNED NOT A GIRL NOT YET A WOMAN
I remember when I was in High School. I was in love with these twins. (I could write a whole other blog about twins, but I might get kicked COMPLETELY OFF XU Gold) I chose one to pursue. It ended up being the wrong one. She was in love with a 23 year old man. I also used to see other girls getting picked up and hollered at by grown men. Obviously, this stuck with me. This was beyond dating a senior when you are a freshman. These men were supposed to be grown. I wondered if I had to wait until I was old (35) to date hot high school girls.
Then I went to college…
…FUCK High School girls!
But as I get older and the women around me get older, it seems like their baggage increases. They get kids. They get married. [Most in that order] They get divorced or separated or neither. And they all have been naked-dickin somebody.
So what do I do? I don't want kids. (I love them and they love me back, but as great of a father as I'm destined to be, I would fuck someone's life up today.) I don't want nobody's naked-dick-juice left over lovin. (I'mma start some shit with that one!) And you think maybe I should go a little younger. But someone else is always beating you to the punch. They're getting pregnant and married younger and younger. So seventeen and eighteen year olds start looking good again
Most men want them new off the lot. That way you can break a young woman in the way they want them to be. But just like in the letter, the way to do that is to raise the girl. Only she doesn't know she's being raised. He uses words like mature and grown. This 34 year old retard (Can I say retard now? Will anyone disagree?) is telling a seventeen-year old she is the one. What's going to happen to college and the life experience she is supposed to get before he starts swelling up her belly?
I know people's grandmothers and older relatives got married pretty young. But those generations are and were much more mature than us. They worked and raised younger brothers and sisters because they had to. We work to buy Jordans and Playstations. They were responsible for huge households at a young age. We can't remember to turn the iron off. But no one is to blame for our lack of maturity. Life is easier for us. We can take our time maturing. And we should.
Simply, this girl needs to go home. It's never too late. Swallow her pride. (She's too young to be all caught up in that anyway.) Apologize to her parents. (I'll bet she has a mother AND a father.) Go to school. Get drunk, join a sorority, get some Fs (mostly As thought) fall in love with an asshole, leave him, marry a REAL man. [Any man in New York who says a seventeen year old is the one (whether he's lying or not) is a retard and shouldn't be living without adult supervision.]
I'm praying this young lady runs back home. She is about to wake up 40 and bitter lying in the bed next to a 55 year old who ain't shit.
Good luck to her!
AND THEN...
The next day....
ANOTHER LETTER!
This girl was with a guy for 6 years and had only slept with him in the last 7 years. She caught gonorhea from the guy THREE TIMES!!! She is still with the guy and doesn't know what to do.
I think this is the same girl fromt he first letter, four years later. This is another man who caught a young girl or weak minded woman and is abusing her. We all know this girl is on the road to dying at the hands of this man. And she calls this love. Both these girls I weep for.
One of the young ladies I sent my blog to had her own blog asking - why men cheat and lie. All men don't cheat and lie. I would even go so far as to say most men don't cheat and lie. But these girls are attracted to liars. That's because they don't have the self respect to be honest with themselves about where they are in life. Both these young women are into lives they are not prepared for.
Again
Good luck ladies!
lol wow!!!!! u got some real insight on that. i cant say i disagree with anything u wrote in here.... glad i subscribed ;-)
These women and men u talk about are victims of their enviroment . I bet both of these girls did not have fathers in the homes,because if they did they wouldn't be with these men.I bet the men in these stories did not have father either. I don't have a solution and sometimes I think the problem has gotten to big to fix. If its going to be possible, the key is restoring the black family, if not I fear we are doomed to continue the maddness . Too many black men won't commit ,all they want to do is chase and get as many women as they can. Leaving far to many unwanted babies, who grow up to be emotional fucked up men and women. The men don't know how to be men,they follow the values they see other men follow which just perpetuate the vicious cycle. The same for women never having the love of a father keeping them search for the love a a man above all else. Its what they saw there mother do, running behind a man, any man just to be loved. Having babies by men who don't love or respect them. How do you stop these cycles I don't know. Are these people stupid, technicially yes but one can understand that above all they are wounded and are making decision like a wounded person.So do I bash men for the way they treat women yes, but at the same time I understand why.Do I bash women for allow/ tolerating some mens bad behavior ,yes but I understand why. Black men and women need to share the blame equally,the black race is in a very sad state.We need to want better for ourselves and esp. for our children. Black men respect youselves.Marry your black women and respect them, raise YOUR children. Black women respect yourselves demand respect from the men you chose, stop having babies by any body, protect yourself from disease. If you don't respect yourself how can you ask that anyone else respect you.
I'm happy to elicit such a passioned response! You are right. EVERYONE is to blame. From the people who created them to the landlord who rented and apartment to a 30 something year old man toting around a 17 year old. We as a community have to be responsible as family members for those who lack it. My nieces and nephews don't like to hear me call them out when they do dumb shit but hey my brothers and sisters are too scared to say anything sometimes. Or too angry. If they only knew how many times I saved them from getting their necks broken...
Hey, Great posts by the way...
I'm reading the same book....lol pretty good one.
Anyway, I totaly hear what you all are saying, but unfortunatly, she will learn the hard way and this girl will probably stay for awhile longer. Sometimes we have to learn and make huge mistakes so that we can move forward and be the person we are destined to become.
Yes we do have a responsiblity as you said above. But really are we taking that responsibility now. I do not think so. People are getting to caught up in their own lives to worry or even say something to others. People are closing off and they are too afraid to speak out and extend a hand. I know I have extended my hand and have gotten bitten quite a few times. However that hasn't stopped me yet.
I have two sons 8 and almost 11 and they know way more than I did at that age. Yes I have already had the sex talk with them and the peer pressure talk and the drug and alcohol talk. Yes I will talk to them again in 6 months. I'm afraid tho that all this work will fall for nothing when they get mixed up with women that will screw up everything I have worked for. Hmmmm maybe no woman will be good enough for them.....God I hope I don't end up like that.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting topic and stimulation.

Yeah be careful! You don't want to be THAT mom.

It’s Not My Fault
Current mood: rebellious
Category: Life
In the business that I'm in, liability and fault always seems to come up. Since I work almost ALL the time, (I need to talk to my boss about that) I have started to consider fault in my personal life as well as the community as a whole. I have come to realize that while A LOT of lowlifes choose to find fault with what I do, none of it is my fault. Not a bit.
For instance:
It's not my fault my cousin let all his money get spent by a whore who kicked him out of his own house when the money was gone and now he has to live with me. No! Not my fault at all. I begged him to come to Georgia. I begged her to come to Georgia with him. She said no. He obeyed. She spent all his money. She sent him to me broke. Now he has to start from scratch. Any help I offer now should be considered a blessing. But you know niggers... After a place to stay, a job, and more life experiences than he's had his entire 50 year life, I still must owe him something. But guess what...
I will kick your ass out!!!
And not feel any way about it.
So the question is - why would anyone or how could anyone see things any other way?
Like why do naked-dickers like to tell you why you should feel bad for them? "I don't have a degree." Why did you drop out of Junior High? "I got a bad heart." Why'd you smoke so much crack? "I have too many kids!" Why do you keep naked-dicking the same broke dude? "I keep getting pulled over." Why you keep speeding? Why you keep blasting music in church parking lots? Why do you insist on rolling with ALL four of your friends ALL the time, EVERYWHERE you go?
It's not racial profiling, it's just profiliing. You fit the profile.Not the profile of a black/hispanic/asian or whatever person. You fit the profile of a loser! It's not because they don't like gays that you didn't get the job. YOU SHOWED UP IN FLIP-FLOPS!
Why is it our fault? Why is it so hard for the naked-dickers to take responsibility for their own actions? Let me give you all what you've been missing from your life.
There are consequences for each and every decision you make.
AND
You have to live with the decisions you make!
If you don't go to school, you are stupid. Behave accordingly. Sure you can learn to read on your own and pick up skills in the streets, but you didn't do any of that. All you do is smoke weed and watch TV. So NOW you are dumberer.
No one has all the tools to win at life coming out the gate. Rich kids may be missing social skills or a work ethic. Poor kids may be missing networking skills or the proper education. Some children grow up full of love but lacking common sense. They are all going to make mistakes. Some big ones, some small ones. The successful ones are the ones who recognize what they lack and learn from their mistakes.
Your life is ALL your fault. Appreciate it or get a new one. It's all on you
Preach brotha preach!

AND...Some of yall think Suga Free is a gimmick and it ain't my fault if the game reveals itself to you and you don't want to take it for what it is. It ain't my fault if you're scared to bring the truth into your life.
Thanks for the invite to your blog.
I feel ya...in a sense. I do agree that there are consequences for each and every decision you make and you have to live with those decisions. Everything in life is basically cause and effect...your thoughts are the cause and the actions are the effect. However, society in general has programmed us to think a certain way, to act a certain way and because the brain is something that needs training, change does not happen overnight nor will it be "cured" by a deity. Change has to start with questions and if one doesnt know that its inevitable that the being will fail. Questions allow to brain to work and to navigate through life. If it doesnt come up with an answer, it will ask other questions for one to reach their goal. In addition, most people dont know what questions they need to ask and end up worse off than they started.
No, its not your fault. You are responsible for you and you alone but dont you have a duty to your fellow man to assist in times of need? Dont get me wrong, my mother is a crackhead and my grandmother still continues to support her even though she raised my sister and I. I even watched her give away 4 of my sibilings for adoption so no, I dont feel sorry for people like that. But there are some people who really have goals, ambition and are enthustatic about reaching their goals but they really dont know how to do it. Thats where people who can lend an ear to even listen could really help. Not necassirly with marterial things, but an ear could help tremendously.
The willie lynch letter...most of us have heard of it. To be honest with you, in my opinion I feel as though that was the basis of us begining to hate ourselves. We are caught up in mental slavery and will continue to go on until someone unselfishly can point to the root of the problem and begin to ask the question, how do we make better humans now knowing whats wrong. Most of us simply hate ourselves and dont even know it.
So could I see things in a different light, of course. But I also know that I didnt come into the world "a sinner" (lol) but I learned from my enviornment. If my environment doesnt teach me more than what they know, where am I getting my programming from. More than likely the Tv, mass media, other crap going on around me, my school system...etc. Because no one taught me I should think for myself, ask challenging questions and program my own life because...there aint no treasure at the end of the rainbow for thinking a certain way (hope you caught that), I ended up being what society wanted me to be...mentally enslaved.
Most people just dont know that they can change their lives but it takes work. It takes training. It takes refection. It takes energy. It takes ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS! So I dont blame all of us for being "dumb". We just werent born that way, we learned to be that way.
Because I asked myself challenging questions (and didnt even know it) I came across this book and didnt read it for a while. When I decided to, my whole world opened up. And I have challenges, who doesnt. But there was something that stuck out to me (among other things):
A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.
To me, thats the basis of change...of cause and effect but if you dont know this, then how can you begin to change. Its bit of a challenge and as a community we should help each other discover this but...remember willie lynch...he was right. Our mental slavery will last over some 200 years because we have learned to depend on them and not on ourselves. Look around...black people are the only race that cannot seem to unite and there is a root for that. We need to encourage each other to find that instead of allowing our own to be the object of ridicule. Now, who's fault is that.
Each one teach one.
I think you hit on the real root of this blog. Does our duty to our fellow man ever end? God protects babies and fools. Forever? Does that mean the low lifes andd freeloaders get to mooch indefinitely? Because I'm tired and I'm only 30...
Well, in my opinion, there is no god that protects babies and fools so we as humans have to protect our babies, if not, they gon turn into fools. Hell no, not forever. I think you kinda missed what I was trying to say. I meant someone who doesnt know how to go and has been raised in that type of enviornent and the people who raised them were raised the same way may not know the first step to change. Most of my folks back home would say go to church. I would say, it starts by taking back your ability to think. That you are not a robot, your life was not planned, you create every stich and every way of your life and that you ARE responsibile. Once most could even accept it and believe me, a lot of folks CANT even understand that....they dont understand that they have been simply doing what others tell them to do and forget that they even have a brain...their subconscious is RULING their lives. Now, to people who know this, they can do one of two things...They can manipulate others into their way of thinking and make them mentally dependent on them....mental slavery in other words or people (I guess kinda like me) can give you the knowlege, its up to you to accept it and do your own research and find your own way or you Dcan just dismiss it. But understand, its foolish for me to say that everyone who has ever wanted or needed help were freeloaders and get to mooch because thats not the case. But for those who have basically made the same actions over and over and over and over and over and over and really think the results are going to change is your definition of insanity. Ignorant. Stupid. Vile. CRAZY! You must do something different to spark change....first know that you are your creator and your life is left up to you...no invisible friends are going to help you with that one....after all, its those friends who say that they rule you anyway.
Dont get me wrong. This topic of this discussion is something that has made me tired, however Im tired about alot of other things that are going on in the world right now that affects us (as humans) in a whole. Like how it really doesnt matter if you vote or not because the people you see on tv are only puppets for the real headmaster behind the plan to be ultimately controlled. Why these same people are designing a new world order for a one government world? How you and your children and your grandchildren will be victims of this because no one before them gave them any warning...they would coming into the world being "chipped", tracked, basically having other people censor the way they think. No one was able to tell them because the people who should (present day humans) are too busy watching tv, going to the mall, trying to find the hottest trend to "keep up", people not reading, people taking religion to being their master..and in fact the same people who are pushing the scheme of a lifetime are the same people who control your money, takes your money illegally, creates your religion...at least all the major ones and the same public school system our children are learning from because mom doesnt have the time to educate her sons and daughters how to think because she doesnt think enough to know that working 2 jobs just to make ends meet are slowing the progression of her childrens brain. NO one has taught her what the fundamentals are to maybe start her own business, learn a skill or a trade that will give her more flexibility so she can spend more time with her kids and not letting the school system or the church be the deciding factor in how they should live. But if she dont even know basic communication skills or even that she can take back her ability to think then how she gon teach them? Who will be the next victims? Thats the mental slavery IM tired of.
Think of those one of 2 things I can do. I aint talking bout lending out money like Im an ATM, I aint talking about making my house a shelter for the homeless, Im talking about listening to someone, giving them what I feel is the basic component for humans and especailly those living in America and other industralized countries is that we have become dependent on a system, an elite group of people who wants to ultimately control us and we give them the power to by refusing to think...refusing to read....refusing to take back the only thing they shouldnt be able to. I think the topic of your blog may have dealt with a little more as in help in the material world and I took it a bit farther than just the material world.
Low lives and freeloaders mooch because people let them do it. Ive witnessed it first hand for the last past 24 years with just my parents. If you let people run over you, they will. You also have to have some sense as to know when to let go. Dont be a fool cause your imaginary friend cant take care of you.
IF YOU DONT READ NOTHING ELSE ON THIS PAGE, PLEASE READ THIS SHORT EXCERT. THEN GO BACK AND READ MY RESPONSE BUT DO SO IN WHOLE, FOR SOME REASON I DONT FEEL LIKE YA DID :-)
****A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped. And even then the weak man must become strong of himself. He must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.
****It has been usual for men to think and say, many men are slaves because one is an oppressor let us hate the oppressor! But there is amongst an increasing few a tendency to reverse this judgement and say "One man in an oppressor and slaves are cooperators in ignorance, and, while seeming to afflict each other, are in reality, afflicting themselves. A perfect knowledge perceives the action of law in the weakness of the oppressed and the misapplied power of the oppressor. A perfect love, seeing the suffering which both states entail, condemns neither; a perfect compassion embraces both the oppressor and oppressed.
****A man can only rise, conqueer and ahcieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak, abject, and miserably by refusing to life up his thoughts...James Allen
Hey, my responses can be long because these are things that are passionate to me. When you get the chance, read the whole response...I think you would respond a lil more than what you did :-)

Now that's real talk...
And here I thought I was just on a rant. Thanks for reading!

OMG!!! If I let my mind think about all the things in this blog I would have an identical read on my page....thanks for getting it off your (our) chest Jason...
I try. It's not easy to stay deep in a shallow world!
Category: Life
In the business that I'm in, liability and fault always seems to come up. Since I work almost ALL the time, (I need to talk to my boss about that) I have started to consider fault in my personal life as well as the community as a whole. I have come to realize that while A LOT of lowlifes choose to find fault with what I do, none of it is my fault. Not a bit.
For instance:
It's not my fault my cousin let all his money get spent by a whore who kicked him out of his own house when the money was gone and now he has to live with me. No! Not my fault at all. I begged him to come to Georgia. I begged her to come to Georgia with him. She said no. He obeyed. She spent all his money. She sent him to me broke. Now he has to start from scratch. Any help I offer now should be considered a blessing. But you know niggers... After a place to stay, a job, and more life experiences than he's had his entire 50 year life, I still must owe him something. But guess what...
I will kick your ass out!!!
And not feel any way about it.

Jesse Jackson (Done Pulled Me Of My Vacation!)
Current mood: betrayed
Category: News and Politics
He done done it again! BUT! What he has done and it will come to pass in the near future is solidify Barack Obama's influence BEYOND Black America.
You know I have been telling yall Barack is not dependent on just being Black or just being a man or just having a white mother or being from Chicago/Hawaii. And now the experts are saying it loudly. (The experts like to steal my shit.)
I was listening to Michael Baisden and he announced – Jesse Jackson had to make a public apology. I thought, 'Oh Lord, this niggah done got caught trying to fuck the wrong person.' Then Michael Baisden said it was in regards to statements made about Barack Obama. Now why he wanna go and do that?
What is truly wrong with Jesse Jackson? He has been accused (in smaller circles) of complicity in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.. He has too much money to just be the grassroots organizer he claims to be. He's fathering children out of wedlock. (I'm big on this one because men/women who attach Reverend [or any other moral title} to their name are expected to exhibit a higher level of self control [Billy Graham]) And now, he wanna try Barack Obama!
Notice, I'm not mentioning the actual comment. Some of us like to get caught up and end up side tracked. As I was watching CNN, these things were said about Barack Obama:
1. This man (If the polls are right) is tapped to be the next president of the United States of America.
2. "Barack does not need the Black vote to win the presidency"
3. Jesse Jackson will end up doing more damage to himself than Barack Obama with these comments.
Which brings me back to - what is wrong with this man? Is he truly jealous of Obama's success? Or is Jesse Jackson truly for sale? And who is paying?
These are the real issues caused by this incident. I hope this does not become divisive. Because if it does, it will almost solely affect the Black community. Black America doesn't need that. Not now.
A change is coming. Barack is coming. If people want to stay stuck on the same old shit, that's just what they'll be stuck with. Old shit.
People, get ready. As Jesse Jackson will find out (and he won't be the last), Barack Obama is a rock that many people will destroy themselves upon when they try him.
it takes us, as the younger gerations, to rise above the negativity put forth by any one person. If we don't, we fall victim to the same thought process that keeps those with older schools of thought, stuck in just that... their older schools of thought. The comment made was assinine, and probbly was, in fact, rooted in jealousy. In any case, you are correct... it will hurt MR. Jackson much more than Senator Obama...
Great blog! Good one to come out of 'retirement' for!
OOOhhhhhhhh the controversy! I'm ready to pop off the LIP! I'll have you know my blog was removed for foul language from my alumni site. Don't think that had nothing to do with the conservative black segment rushing to Rev. Jackson's aide. They better watch out. I'm on the Obama bus and you can roll with it or under it...
SANCTIFIED!!! HALLELUAH!!!
Well I wanted to read the blog twice before I responded; and here is my responce. I agree with the previous comment about the older school of thought. We have to understand that at the end of the day these people(Jesse Jackson, etc.) who consistantly say the most unwarranted statements regarding Mr. Obama are human. I dont uphold these people who have reverend, Pastor, or any other type of moral title to a higher degree than myself. As long as im doing what im supposted to do(Election, life, etc.) then I can go to sleep at night just fine regardless of what someone says, thinks, or projects negatively about me personally or professionally. I think we are doing ourselves a disservice when we look to people like Jesse Jackson to consistantly say, act, and think on the same level as the rest of the Black community. HE IS GONNA FUCKUP ONE TIME OR ANOTHER LIKE HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST PEOPLE!!!! We really are selling ourselves short to look to these people as moral inhibitors for upliftment in our community(let alone personally). We need to look inward and grab that SOMETHING that inhibits us to do better, and at the same time help the next man or woman do better!
He is The REVEREND Jesse Jackson! That should mean more than making some CRAZY [but really sexy] church girl hot.
Oh shit I deleted the second one! ooops. I guess we all fuck up FOR REAL!
Read more: Still crazier than Batman. Just wait til next week. I'm going to sue Jesse Jackson for touching my bottom when I was younger.

2. "Barack does not need the Black vote to win the presidency"
3. Jesse Jackson will end up doing more damage to himself than Barack Obama with these comments.
Which brings me back to - what is wrong with this man? Is he truly jealous of Obama's success? Or is Jesse Jackson truly for sale? And who is paying?
These are the real issues caused by this incident. I hope this does not become divisive. Because if it does, it will almost solely affect the Black community. Black America doesn't need that. Not now.
A change is coming. Barack is coming. If people want to stay stuck on the same old shit, that's just what they'll be stuck with. Old shit.
People, get ready. As Jesse Jackson will find out (and he won't be the last), Barack Obama is a rock that many people will destroy themselves upon when they try him.
it takes us, as the younger gerations, to rise above the negativity put forth by any one person. If we don't, we fall victim to the same thought process that keeps those with older schools of thought, stuck in just that... their older schools of thought. The comment made was assinine, and probbly was, in fact, rooted in jealousy. In any case, you are correct... it will hurt MR. Jackson much more than Senator Obama...
Great blog! Good one to come out of 'retirement' for!
OOOhhhhhhhh the controversy! I'm ready to pop off the LIP! I'll have you know my blog was removed for foul language from my alumni site. Don't think that had nothing to do with the conservative black segment rushing to Rev. Jackson's aide. They better watch out. I'm on the Obama bus and you can roll with it or under it...
SANCTIFIED!!! HALLELUAH!!!
Well I wanted to read the blog twice before I responded; and here is my responce. I agree with the previous comment about the older school of thought. We have to understand that at the end of the day these people(Jesse Jackson, etc.) who consistantly say the most unwarranted statements regarding Mr. Obama are human. I dont uphold these people who have reverend, Pastor, or any other type of moral title to a higher degree than myself. As long as im doing what im supposted to do(Election, life, etc.) then I can go to sleep at night just fine regardless of what someone says, thinks, or projects negatively about me personally or professionally. I think we are doing ourselves a disservice when we look to people like Jesse Jackson to consistantly say, act, and think on the same level as the rest of the Black community. HE IS GONNA FUCKUP ONE TIME OR ANOTHER LIKE HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST PEOPLE!!!! We really are selling ourselves short to look to these people as moral inhibitors for upliftment in our community(let alone personally). We need to look inward and grab that SOMETHING that inhibits us to do better, and at the same time help the next man or woman do better!
He is The REVEREND Jesse Jackson! That should mean more than making some CRAZY [but really sexy] church girl hot.
Oh shit I deleted the second one! ooops. I guess we all fuck up FOR REAL!
Read more: Still crazier than Batman. Just wait til next week. I'm going to sue Jesse Jackson for touching my bottom when I was younger.

What I Learned In Church: Saved by Faith Not Works (An Alternative Perspective)
Current mood: animated
Category: Life
We are saved by faith not works.
I was concerned about missing church for so long. Then I was concerned about being late today. Then I walked in on that scripture. We often get caught up in the glamour of our religion, the glamour of our jobs, the glamour of our lives. We want to be able to tell someone "I'm a Christian" "I'm a Buddhist." "I'm an atheist" "I work here" "I work there" I'm a doctor" "I'm a police man" "I date him/her" "I married this or that thing" "I had kids with …(his/her name slips my name at the moment)"
And we all want to wear our badges of distinction. In Deuteronomy, the Hebrew people started wearing a phylactery (a tiny box containing a piece of paper with the heart of the Israelite law written on it.) Today some Jewish people still wear it when they pray. Just like some other Jews carry mini Torahs around, or Christians wear crosses, some Moslems wear the crescent and star, or Buddhists carry mini prayer books. I know some of us throw the bible in the windshield hoping for some protection when we drive. Police officers love to flash badges to gain special privileges. We want the world and God and his Mama to see everything good we do.
But Paul warned about getting caught up in deeds. If you truly want to help your fellow man, just help. Don't get caught up in the rules. As a child we might have gotten praise for following this or that rule. We all know as an adult there is no such thing. The reward IS the deed. We don't go to church to say we went. I mean, do we get extra prayers/blessings for writing our name and address on the donation envelope? We all went to medical school to save lives – I think. We became lawyers…to…(well that was for the money but you know what I mean.) And I know we got married and had kids out of love. I know weddings are cool, the open bar is REAL nice, naked-dicking is cool when you are married and someone has to take out the trash – nothing beats slave (I mean child labor…I mean allowances.)
And Jesus even told us, those crosses we got hanging around our necks will get us NOWHERE. All the flamboastin and flashiness, the vanity plates (4GOD, LVJESUS…etc) won't get us into, don't come with us in heaven. So what purpose do they serve? Check Matthew Chapter seven.
"A faithful response to God's way"
God is good all the time. But we don't trust that. We live totally in our perspective. Trust in the goodness of God. Life shifts. Things change. It may seem like turbulence and turmoil if you don't have the faith. It's about the way we change ourselves to fit God's ways.
It's not about The Show. It's about doing something. It's about being Christian, buddhist, Moslem. It's about finding the happiness and joy in BEING whoever/whatever you are. It's not so much about being good as it is about being good at being
Wow this is your best! This is so true.
Why thank you! I was leaning towards worst because I have just been squeezing them out lately. Plus, people didn't seem to be reading. But I have been getting pleasantly surprised this week.
I totally agree with what you are saying!! God bless you...
And also you sister!

Haters
Current mood: bouncy
Category: Life
You know with a title like that, this blog is supposed to start out with all kinds of - Fuck them haters! and Let you haters be your motivators! and shit like that. But I thought I'd go a little deeper today.
As I am work listening to grown men concern themselves with another grown man's personal life, it strikes me. It is eternally sad to feel so low that you need to hate on crackheads and little children to make yourself feel better. Hate is so rampant now, no one can escape it.
We hate on our friends. We hate on our families. We hate on our children. And worst of all, we hate on ourselves. Some of us say the most terrible shit to ourselves.
"I can't" "I won't" "I'm too...(old, black, wild, crazy, stupid) Blah. Blah. Blah.Yippity Yap Yap. Crippity Crap Crap.
We look in the mirror like...
Just shut up all the self pity. Because that's what hate is. It's you feeling sorry for yourself and trying to beat somebody down to "build yourself up".
It never works. Once you feel good about hating on someone, the self-hate kiccs right back in again so you have to find another person or thing to hate on. And the cycle goes on and on...
Until you start loving yourself. Truly. Not based on comparisons with other people. Based on being a beautiful human being. Not based on what you have. Based on what you are. Life alll around you becomes clearer when you start letting that little light of yours shine. Let it shine. Let it shine.
So let it shine and as Kat Williams would say - "Take care fo the star player on your team!"
Thank you my dear
preach bruvs! good stuff here
Dang, All this praise. I was hoping for some hate. Damn haters! Always hiding...
Awwww, you suck LA! HAHAHAHAHA...HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE! (Ok, so I had a flashback to the Chapelle show!...sue me!)
I hate Dave Chappelle for not coming back!

Lazy Americans
Current mood: lazy
Category: Life
I have been thinking of how hard our parents worked compared to us. And of how hard our grand-parents worked compared to our parents. The walking twelve miles in the snow stories are on the verge of extinction. Only partly due to technology, we have become probably the laziest generation ever. And it's not just the kids. It's us.
One day this week I was at work (I thought it'd be a good day to go into work.), I had two test drives one hour apart. On the first test drive I passed a kid on a bus stop. An hour later, the same kid on the same bus stop. Chillin. No worried look. Not starting to walk down the road. Just sitting on the same bus stop.
I would walk. I move slow but I have to keep moving. I know a bunch of my friends have made the late night walk from Burboun back to Xavier. I have made that walk in the day time. I am loathe to wait on a bus (if I have to) out here. Hell, how can a bus beat me getting anywhere. There are bus stops on every block out here. EVERY BLOCK...AND PEOPLE AT THE STOPS! The school buses stop at each individual house. For High Schoolers! I could understand small children and people worrying about getting snatched. But have you seen these High Schoolers? No one wants to snatch them crazy ass kids. I don't even like walking or standing too close to them. (Here comes a "When I was in high school..." story.
When I was in High School the rule was we shouldn't have to walk more than a mile. Sometimes that worked out, sometimes we had towalk that full mile. Sometimes I walked home from school. The walk was 30 to 45 minutes and the bus was 40 to 60 minutes. I have woken up at 3:30 in the morning to catch the bus at 5:30 for jobs.
Another day (actually every other day) some young adult comes to my lot wanting to put down $200 on a $7500 car (Our highest price). I offer to show them an 88 or 92 for $500 that may need some work, but they "need a car that's running good", they "need the 2002 Impala". They can't take the bus because the walk is like fifteen extra minutes. They have to get up at 5 to get to work. Poor kids.
And then I was standing in line at the post office and one of the employees and a customer were talking about the jobs being out sourced and all the lay offs lately.
Now I will be the first to complain when some Indian named "Susie/Chris" aka Sucheyallah/Chutneyandbeanrice can't understand my English Dialect (wasn't that an English colony?). But today, with all this laze lounging around me, I ask what business owner wouldn't want to save some money and get harder workers? I have to face it - America is SO lazy that Americans don't want to hire Americans.
Even in this so called "recession" the work is here. The sad truth is no one wants to hire Americans. Contractors will hire an all hispanic crew before any others. So much so that bilingual subcontractors have their own enterprise putting together crews for people. (Look on craigslist for a bilingual contractor and see what you get) American builders of airplane parts are being exposed for using usafe practices leading to the rise in crashes of late.
When does it end? Do we all just get on welfare and buy "American" made products shipped to us from the other side of the world? Does McDonalds become a sit down restuarant not because the quality gets any better but because the workers are so lazy that the microwaved food takes 30 mins to an hour to prepare? Do we deliver our own mail because the drivers who had their seats moved to make it easier to reach the mail box on the curb don't feel like getting out of the truck to hand you a package that won't fit in the box?
What happened to wanting to be better than our parents? For their sakes. Our parents took care of us (A ton of them were single!), worked two or three jobs sometimes, drank way too much coffee and did way to many uppers to get the job done to build this country for us. Am I the only one noticing UPS and FEDEX slowing down?
I'm just saying...
Nice work! Interesting because wasn't it our parents and grandparents that said to us when we were little(and Jay Z), "I went through that so you wouldn't have to go through that" or "We work had so when u grow up u wouldn't have to work as hard to get the same things accomplished"? Intelect is one thing that dont see a lot of today accross the board and brotha u got it!
JR
Thank you! Thank you! My lone reader it looks like lately. I'mma have to buy you a drink or ten.
So it is up to us then to instill a work ethic. But what happens when the children unionize and start making demands. Will Chinese and Indian adoptions go up?
