I Am Making Changes

Okay, so to the 3 or 4 loyal people that actually read my blogs and such, I have been slacking. I think I have a life now, so I'm not at the computer bored as much. 

Especially with the new job, I am rarely at the computer at work, and if so, it's for no longer than 5 minutes. After work I'm pretty occupied and I don't remember a weekend where I haven't either gone out of town or had a gathering at my home or to go to.

But my life is a lot more active, so this outlet of blogger is not a necessity anymore.

I'm not saying I'm stopping, but I won't be writing as often as I used to, only when I just really have something to say. No one really reads them anyways.

But for the few that did. I appreciate it. Keep checking and see if I have something.

Also I'll be back focused on my photography soon, just have other priorities right now. So probably near the start of next year, you'll see an explosion of my work.

Thanks,

30 Things Guys Would Be Better Off Knowing About Girls

I saw the following in the Notes section from a friends page, and thought it would be interesting to share, and see how people react to it. I'm not saying I agree with it, just curious of people's responses, you can see a few below.
Thanks to Miss Miranda. Facebook or Myspace. Below is the original note, and some comments. **(Layouts courtesy of www.facebook.com names and pictures have been removed.)

Some women may agree, some may think this makes women look bad. You be the judge. Do you agree with what was said?

30 Things Guys Would Be Better Off Knowing About Girls

1. Just becuz we have sex with you does NOT mean we wanna be with you. Sometimes, we actually like you LESS afterwards. & sometimes we don't want YOU to spend the night either, lol

2. We are NOT as clueless as you think we are. Just because we dont say anything doesn't mean we dont KNOW anything. 

3. Some girls enjoy being single & find it liberating. We aren't in high school anymore; we don't have to 'go together'. Sometimes we just wanna chill. 

4. There is a HUGE difference between a "groupie" & a "gold digger". The gold diggers are usually the really fabulous ones with the successful older gentleman. The groupies go for guys they'll never get, they get f*cked & they get ditched. 

5. Millionaires come a dime a dozen, just like beautiful women. If a lady shows u interest it doesn't mean she's only interested in your money. Chances are she's turned down men richer than you before. 

6. A girl cannot help who she falls in love with, so stop asking us if you're our type. 

7. We already know you're going to marry your college sweetheart or baby mama. You aren't fooling us, so stop running the game and lets just have fun while it lasts. 

8. EVERY girl has a breaking point. A girl can stick by you thru only so much BS. But there's always a point that we can reach where we WILL leave you & never turn back. 

9. Sometimes you try so hard not to cum that we get very bored and wish you would lol

10. Sometimes we just need a rebound guy. And sometimes we just sleep with someone to put things in perspective. You gotta be a girl to understand this one ...

11. If the sex is not good, we're generally not interested anymore. & if we still are, well hey ... that's lOVE! <3

12. We have more game than you think & you have less game than you think. One of a girls slickest moves is to play along

13. If a girl cheated on her man to be with you it does NOT necessarily mean she will cheat on you.

14. The less you try to have sex with us, the more we want to have sex with you. The more u pressure us, the less attractive we find you.

15. NO quality woman will ever try to trap a man with a baby. 

16. Most of the time when you think we are "BSn" .... we just dont really f*ck with you like that 

17. We are very, very, VERY good pretenders. & we know EXACTLY what we're doing. Take this as you wish .... 

18. If a girl makes you something cheesy and creative, she really likes you <3 

19. Just becuz you see her with him, doesn't mean she's sleeping with him! 

20. If a girl doesn't believe that a guy and a girl can just be 'friends' .... don't trust that girl around her guy friends! 

21. Our first love CANNOT automatically hit anytime he wants too. Trust me .... my first couldn't hit it if he had a bat! lol 

22. If a girl starts a sentence with, "all girls are/do/say/think/etc ........................",that only applies to her & her inner circle. 

23. A girl stops liking you all of a sudden. Here's why: 

1. She didn't enjoy the sex or knows that it wont be good.

2. She found out you were broke.

3. She thinks you're gay.

4. She met somebody new or someone old is back in her life.

5. Her friends said something about you that made her embarrassed to be around you.

6. You want to get serious and she doesnt -- or vice versa

7. You're too cheap.

8. You either have a habit or have made a statement that she can't deal with

9. You're smothering her

10. She's bored with you 

24. We can tell exactly how the sex is gonna be just by looking at you. My accuracy is 100% so far, lol :) 

25. If you are slacking off with your girl yet she still seems happy, SHE IS GETTING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! [applies to sex, money, attention, time, etc] 

26. We DEFINITELY know when you're cheating on us. Even if we don't let on about it 

27. We know that men are just like us. The less attention we give you, the more you want us. Men don't know how to deal with rejection and we use that to our advantage

28. We CAN handle the truth and we'd prefer that you be upfront with us instead of lying about how u feel. 

29. GIRL TALK is much more devious, coniving, detailed, dirty and disgusting than GUY TALK lol. 

30. We're not always as broke as we pretend to be, sumtimes we're just being spoiled lol (;

DISCLAIMER: WHY NO. 28 IS TRUE

GIRL [TO HER FRIEND]: "I THINK ME & JOHNNY ARE GETN PRETTY CLOSE BUT DAVEY INVITED ME TO CABO THIS WKND! SHOULD I GO, OR DO YOU THINK IT WILL MESS THINGS UP WITH JOHNNY? I'M SO CONFUSED!" 

GIRL'S FRIEND: "HMM. I DUNNO, MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK JOHNNY WHERE YOU GUYS STAND SO U HAVE A BETR IDEA OF WHAT TO DO." 

GIRL: [RING, RING] "HELLO JOHNNY?? I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THIS RELATIONSHIP IS GOING. YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE DO WE STAND? DO YOU WANT TO GET SERIOUS OR IS THIS JUST A FLING?" 

JOHNNY: [LYING] "AWW, BABE. YOU KNOW I REALLY CARE FOR U & I DONT WANNA SEE YOU WITH ANYONE ELSE. WE DONT NEED A TITLE UNTIL WE'RE READY BUT I COULD REALLY SEE MYSELF SETTLING DOWN WITH YOU". 

GIRL [TO HER FRIEND]: "DAMN! JOHNNY SEEMS LIKE HE'S READY FOR SUMTHING REAL. IM MAD AS HELL! NOW IF I GO TO CABO WITH DAVEY JOHNNY WONT FCUK WITH ME ANYMORE. SHIT! DANG, OK .... I GUESS I'LL JUST TELL DAVEY 'NO' ". 

[1 MONTH LATER WHEN GIRL REALIZES THAT JOHNNY WAS LYING & REALLY WASNT SERIOUS ABOUT HER] 

THIS POINT WE START GET'N BITCHY & CRAZY & START LEAVING YOU MEAN TEXTS AND CALLING YOU HOE ASS NIGGAS.

THE REASON YOU THINK WE CANT HANDLE THE TRUE IS CAUSE WE START BUGGIN OUT CAUSE UR LIES MESSED P SOME OTHER GOOD ISHT WE HAD GOING ON.

WE DONT GIVE A F*CK ABOUT YOU LIKE THAT, WE'RE JUST MAD WE MISSED OUT ON CABO!! LMAO

PEEP GAME, YOU GUYS. WE ARE NOOOOOT AS PREDICTABLE AS YOU THINK.

Everyone Ages, Not Everyone Matures..

Watch this fool below...and you make your own comment...

Meditation

Today, take time. About 30 minutes to an hour, to stop and meditate. Trying your hardest to clear your mind and think of absolutely nothing.

We are so busy in this society that we rarely take time to get our minds in order. We stress at work, we try to use every bit of time at home to take care of business, but we never stop and breathe.

Even if you have to do it after reading this. Take a little bit of time for yourself. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP. Napping is not a good form of meditation. Give your mind and body time to catch up with you. Empty it out and then re-enter your day.

What's Going On???

Is it me, or is someone taking out important, black figures 1 by 1?  Conspiracy? Obama runs for presidents, someone puts a hit out on black men that could possibly support him (even though through the grape vine I heard Bernie Mac dissed him a little).

But either way, 2 black male role models GONE. It could not have been two black, unsuccessful pestilence that probably rob and kill; but two strong, American-American brothers whom help guide, instruct, and entertain America.

It's a sad time when you lose people like that, but two in the same week, basically a day apart, that's is tragic.  Both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, gone. Two brilliant minds removed from the realms of creativity, to eventually be replaced with another two-bit nobody, that lacks a decent education, sounds more ignorant than farmer John, but has the ability to make money off of other ignorant, undereducated, misunderstanding black people (I'm basically talking about Plies right now, sounds like he has a fourth-grade reading level, but ohhh, he raps about sex so the women love him, well the girls who are 17 working on their 2nd child that is).

That's the world though. For someone new to come in, someone else must go out. There will never be another Bernie Mac nor Isaac Hayes. There will be imitators, there will be other brilliant minds, but there will never be 2 more like them.

Forever their memories will live on in movies, music, literature, and in our hearts and minds.  May God be with their families, friends, and fans.

For the Fellas Part I

The First of many collaborations by ~~Miss Marcia~~ and **Green**:

~~I wrote a blog on Wednesday that was for the ladies, so this is going to be a brief one for the fellas.  In my blog for the ladies I mentioned something about a man’s relationship potential is all about the money he has.  Well fellas there is a thing called a “gold digger” and if you think spending all your money buying expensive gifts or paying for her most expensive bills is a way that will help you get into a woman’s heart, then you are wrong in many ways.  These “gold diggers” prey on guys that do this and will give you some of her time just to keep you around, for you to do these “special things” for her, and I’m not talking sex (she could be getting that from someone else as well, while you are steadily dishing out your hard earned money).  Technically, she has no plans in her mind of ever being in a serious, loving relationship with you, she likes YOUR MONEY not YOU for who you are.  Honestly I don’t see how some people can do that, because as they say “what goes around comes around” so she would eventually get what’s coming to her, a man with a lot of money but a piss-poor personality or a lack of respect for her. 

Now fellas, there is nothing in this world wrong with pampering your woman.  Washing her hair, doing her nails, giving her massages and things of that sort are impressive to a lady.  I know some guys have a problem with being “sensitive”, but you have to be a little sensitive since most women are and it is women that you are trying to please. Also it’s not the big, mega things you do that count, it’s the little things.  If you know what her favorite candy, chips, or what some of her likes are, then play off of those. You’ll be surprised at the reaction you get; it’s letting her know that you pay attention to detail, and she’ll appreciate you for caring, more than she will appreciate a guy that pays her cell phone bill (which she probably uses to call other men).

I don’t have too much more to say on this topic, but I’m sure Mr. Green can elaborate further than I can.~~

**I’m sure I can elaborate, BUT we will save that for part two. In essence my friends, Miss Marcia wants you to think a little. Gold digging is one example, but be aware of what it is about you that attracts a woman the most. Often times you may think she’s all about you, when she may not. If you happen to lose the 1 thing she is with you for, you will lose her too. So my brothers, get your mind right and don’t let your little head do all the thinking. Be smart fellas, you know if she’s playing you for a fool. Stop buying stuff for her, and start doing small things, if she doesn’t appreciate that, leave, cause then she doesn’t appreciate you.**

*~~Miss Marcia~~ & **Green**

For The Ladies: Part I

Another Blog from Miss Marcia, ENJOY:

This is mainly for my ladies, young women, teens all of you that fall within this category.  Throughout my years of dating even as far back as high school I’ve encountered different types of personalities and been through enough crap to write a book about so its time for me to pass some of my knowledge along to those you who may need it.  So here we go.

Ladies it doesn’t matter what kind of body the guy may have or how extremely fine he may be.  Sometimes his looks don’t match up with his personality at all.  He could be very arrogant and disrespectful and they tend to draw the most attention and think that all the women want them.  Sometimes they just know they could pull any woman they want and could care less about you, but will tell you what you want to hear just to string you along.  I’m not saying all guys with a tight bod and hot looks are this way, you just have to make sure they have a personality because when people ask you what’s so great about your man and all you can say is “His body is off the chain” or “He is so fine” then you might want to rethink the reason why you started seeing this person.

Next it doesn’t matter what kind of car he may have and other materialistic things he may have.  He can drive the most beat up car on the face of this earth but have his isht together.  These fellas riding around in their tricked out cars spend most of their money in their cars and try to live above their means sometimes.  It’s funny to me to see a guy with a really nice car but then find out that’s where his money has gone.  These music videos are part of the blame because it has them thinking that’s what women go for, NOT always the case.  Women chasing men because of what they have is not a nice look, he can have all the nicest things in the world but then turn out to be the biggest a-hole you’ve ever met.  I have more to say about this, but I’ll write that in a different blog.  You have to thoroughly check guys out ladies, because for all you know he could be a big time drug dealer. IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY LADIES!!!!

Ok now this is from personal experience and I know some young women (teenagers especially) think it’s cute.  DATING A THUG IS NOT CUTE!!!! LOL.  What do you have to brag about, “Oh girl my man he….” He does what? What can he do?  That’s all I have to say about this subject matter before I get upset.

Ladies, ladies, ladies, I have seen this one too many times and I am going to say something about it.  If you portray yourself as a hoochie or a ho then guess what?  Right, you’ll get treated as such.  You may steal all the looks in the room but the fellas will be focused more on your ASSets and “hitting that” than getting to know you.  While I’m speaking on the clubbing scene, that’s usually not the best place to meet a guy at either.  Sometimes the fellas are just there to see whom they go home with, don’t get me wrong now;  Some people have had great success meeting their “guy” at the club. 

There will be more to come because all of a sudden I have a lot to say, but I will end this blog with something for my teenage girls that are about to go off to college.  Please be careful, fresh meat does get preyed upon and also the fraternity scene is interesting, but don’t become a Frat Groupie (not cute).

Take the Chance to be Happy...

Today I start a new job.  Yay, right? Yay and nay. I do start a new job, in which I feel I will be happier, but at the same time, I will be making less money (I hear part time).  But in maturing, I've learned that happiness can not be based on the size of your wallet.


I know a number of wealthy people who are dissatisfied with life.  Well they are financially wealthy. Me, I am wealthy, but in a different way.  I have continuous, unquantifiable happiness.  Death, robbery, illness; and your money is gone, but nothing can take away my personal joy.


In life, a lot people are missing happiness because they are settling. They will sacrifice happiness for money, love, sex, attention, promotion, acceptance, what have you, and that is honestly sad to me. I look at it like this. Although I'll be making less money NOW, through my joy, it will open opportunities for growth, and believe, if not soon, before I die I will be making financial withdraws from my bank account with a $1,000,000 balance, I claim that.


A lot of people now are stuck in jobs, wondering why they can't grow, wondering why they haven't been promoted. Well, when you enter your job looking like the dog pissed on your head, no one is going to want you in a higher position. I think I'm done on this subject, basically what I'm saying:


STOP SELLING YOURSELF SHORT BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN AGENDA. OPEN YOURSELF TO CHANCE. ALLOW GOD TO WORK. SO BUSY TRYING TO STRUCTURE YOUR LIFE, YOU AREN'T LETTING LIFE LIVE ITSELF. ESSENTIALLY YOU ARE MISSING OUT BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET IN.


You'll get it eventually.

Ungrateful Black Folk

I would like to thank Miss Marcia for today's contribution. I needed a little "vacation" from the mental turmoil of this job transition, so she provided some words of her own for me.

Thanks,
*Green

Today I’m going to write about taking things for granted or shall I say, being ungrateful. I’m not sure if a lot of people are aware but on Tuesday July 29^th an article popped up in the news about a couple getting ready to lose their house that Extreme Home Makeover had built for them. This house was built in 2005, it’s worth $450,000. On top of that, $250,000 was raised as a contribution to the family for home maintenance and upkeep. The family decided to put the house up as collateral for a loan since they were trying to start a construction business, which later failed. Being unable to repay the loan, the house underwent foreclosure.

Now I’m sorry, but there is no way in this world I would put up any (paid for) home to start a business. So they go from having a crappy house, to a free, nice house, to no house at all. The video on YouTube.com (Extreme Makeover) is just sickening at how nice this house is and the reporter tries to sugar coat the story saying that all the kids were out of the house and the family desired a smaller home.

The part of the story that really disturbs me is the fact that they are an African American couple. I’m sorry but this makes us look bad, like we are not thankful for the things that are given to us. Now I did not catch the episode of Extreme Home Makeover that this house was featured on in 2005 but I’m sure this family was ecstatic when the house was revealed to them and they just let it go down the drain. God blessed them with something good and they just let it go away. Now I’m not completely sure how the family is living at the moment, but a few questions had raised to my head such as “what made them want to go into the construction business?”, “why put up their beautiful home?” There are so many more questions that just leave me with asking “Why?”

It looks like GREED one of the 7 sins took over them and now look at where it got them. Sitting around looking crazy and ungrateful and yes in the article the people that helped build this house are highly upset at this couple. Keep in mind when watching the video below that this is the LARGEST HOUSE EVER BUILT ON EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER.
