Masochism
#LoveIs...
not logical, it isnt a math problem that after inserting the right numbers and variables will give you the answer. Love is not a mandate, love is an option. Because love is an option, one should feel proud to recieve it. Love is faith, in God and in your other. Love is not a cake walk, love is hard, love is a battle. With anything worth having, it does take practice, it does take effort. Lovers are not telepathic, so communication is key.Love does not dictate actions, it is the actions that dictate love. Everyday is a new day, complacency is time wasted. Love is a reaffirmation of character. Love not the complete understanding of a person, moreso the willingness/commitment to try. Love cannot be attained from behind an emotional wall. One thing about walls is that while keeping things out, they also keep things in...better yet, Love is vulnerability. Love just IS....
1 Corinthians 13:7
I HOPE this works, because love hurts...

The Beauty of Things Untold
The beauty of things untold
The greatness of love reciprocated 10 fold
When neither I, nor her, voice our opinion
But process logically
Love like the wind, unquestioned in origin
Accepted is its existence
conversely,
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
to some, the untold is unheard and unfelt
regrettably all things come to an end...eventually
atleast thats what my experience says
disregard females and acquire currency
...and for now thats what my heart says

Contradiction
This is something my friend(http://ww.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1095720066) posted on his facebook(dont know if its original or not)
The paradox of our time in history is that . . .
We spend more, but have less;
We buy more, but enjoy it less;
We have bigger houses and smaller families,
More conveniences, but less time,
More medicine, but less well being;
We read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but
reduced our values.
These are times of tall men, and short character;
Steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;
Of fancier houses, but broken homes.
We’ve added years to life, not life to years;
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.
Just a thought

Why are you fighting?
After watching a recent interview with Kanye's dude Taz Arnold I watched this documentary called," Bastards of the Party". Taz mentioned it in the interview.
[link]
but honestly why are YOU fighting? African and Latino youth fighting for "street cred" or "rights to the streets". Tell me why youre fightig to gain false control or ownership of property that isnt yours. Why are you defending "7th street" when you dont even own the house you live in?...why are you defending your "hood" when you, yourself are selling crack cocaine to its inhabitants? Why are you fighting for some form of pseudo-fame/power. I feel like its a form of settling, in the small scale you may be a "hood leader" but looking at the big picture you own nothing, you mean nothing and youre fighting for basically nothing of meaning.
...even in the metaphorical sense, "Why are you fighting?". No ones life is just a cake walk and there has to be some struggle, so at the end of the day "Why?" why do YOU do what YOU do?
Have a method to YOUR madness?...have something that drives you, a passion, whether it be your children, your future, whatever it may be. I just have come to see that many people do things ignorantly.
...and once you have this introspective moment, ask yourself, "Is it worth it?"

A Time For Reflection
"When I was a child I spoke like a child, thought like a child, reasoned like a child; when I became an adult I put aside my childish ways"- 1 Corinthians 13:11
As I get older I find myself learning more about myself. I find myself becoming happier with life and where I'm headed. I see what the many influential people in my life have been saying. The "you will thank me for this later.." is starting to make sense. I thank God that I can look back on past experiences and say, " wow I def. Wouldn’t have done it that way before". Moments like this, when I reflect on my own personal growth I see the positive changes I’ve made and see many more still to be made. Where I would have settled in the past, I find myself asking for more. In my school work I see much more effort and my grades reflect that. Where I would have responded with anger, I find myself more level headed. I have made my share of people hate me in the past, but I can say I’ve lived and learned from that at this point. I dont regret the past, only accept its occurrences and call them experience.
When I look at the people around me I cant help but think, "how long is this going to last?" speaking about the immature mindsets of some people and the negative actions that they take. Honestly how long can one live life valuing material possessions over the future? How long can one talk about, "bitches and hoes"? and even “How long is too long to hold on to a dream? And when I say that I mean how long can you live of off statements that start with “I want to” without actually doing anything to work towards this dream/goal/aspiration? At the end of the day a dream is just a thought. A goal is that dream formulated into a plan, and once that happens, then, can you be on your way to actually achieving something and not just wasting time talking. Not to say dreams are bad, but my point is to not settle for a life of “I’m going to” or “I want to” with doing nothing to actually do anything.
I only write this to ask, can anyone see their progression?…and is this the change you wanted? It’s never to late to better yourself, but at the same time what’s stopping positive change from happening now if it hasn’t already? Coincidentally the New Year has started, the clichéd time of "change" and self-betterment and too many times do I see this time assigned the greatest of dreams. January is just the first month of the year, not the first day of your life. Similarly January is not some wishing well that you throw your empty promises and misguided statements at. Contrary to the fact that the word “resolution” is synonymous with the beginning of the year, it is not then only times these can be made. To just be real for a second, a resolution is just a verbal or mental declaration of intent, nothing more and nothing less. Lets not get wrapped up in empty promises and make 2010 the year of accomplishments <---hope you saw what I did there
As I grow up I see myself becoming more of the man I strive to become. I see past friends making excuses for why they aren't where I am and I don't see those whose past choices didn't allow them this time for reflection.
