Now you see it, now you...

There's no one in the world like a black man.  I love everything about them.  I love the many shades of them.  I love the intensity of their stare.  I love the way they smile.  I love the way they speak.  I love absolutely every thing about them.

The black man has a way of showing themselves without exposing themselves. They have a way of having two different emotions that just so happen to be complete opposites.  I am writing this on the heels of watching couple's therapy on VH1.  Ghostface Killa did everything that reminded of this quality.  He went to the therapy because he feels "something" for his girlfriend.  Meanwhile, he is acting like this is such an imposition.  What do you do, take the actions over the denigrating words? Well, I read a quote that said "actions are who a person is, words are who they want to be".  Different choices for different folks.

I call this being overly emotional.  If you can portray two emotions simultaneously while not dealing with either one, this is s lot of emotion Thai makes this person overly emotionally.  I know most men would say they just are not emotional, but truth be told that is just them not wanting to deal with any emotion.  There are a couple of exceptions of course.

Some how, anger does not get consideration as being an emotion and neither does being aloof.  It's cool though maybe we could just keep this between us.  We don't want any of that non emotion coming out from that lovely beautiful, handsome, gregarious, strong, unflinching, sweet, gray black man.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
