Tell me what can I do about it now?

Going backwards - for the sake of looking back...
sometimes we...(Me) -
go backwards for the sake of looking back
for the sake of - remembering (atleast) one "good" thing out of a series of bad things -
out of a series of rehabilitating situations -
out of a series of lessons-
out of a series of... I thought I would never do that again
or - I will never do that again
out of a series of lonely nights
out of a series of crying ourselves to sleep
out of a series of regrets
out of a series of mistakes
out of a series of ....
- decisions we could have took more time to make
We...(Me) - look back because it is familar
because its all we have
because the future is so bright - we cant see that - its more good in front of us - than there will ever be behind us
I turn my head one last time

p.s. I had to revise it-because my orginial version didnt come through all the way on my PDA

NO

I told you NO
Not because I "mean" NO
But because NO - is the answer to that question...
Yes - I admire you -
No I dont inspire to -
be around
- Ain't nothing - GOOD about
being around
- Ain't nothing - GOOD about
being an Option
-it dont feel Good
for you to think of me often
Maybe you misunderstood
- that
Seems like - YOU - always
misunderstood - THAT!
when the question comes up
You pause
- Maybe it was just because...
YOU were thinking of something clever to say
it didnt need you to be clever
- just tell me in the right way
speak softly
speak honestly
Be TRUE
- thats always how I spoke to YOU
-thats how I often thought of YOU

but Now - my answer is NO

somehow - it represents everything - I feel today

I began with this song - that is still in my head
(your all.....I want - Your all..... -I ever - need-ed)
but what you didnt know - is that I was talking about GOD

& so I lay in peace in my bed at night - realizing that Im more and more of an excibitionist & I know I probably spelled that wrong - but I hated the spelling bee when I was young - so I made up my mind that - there were words that I would not learn to spell - but that I would still speak

the record skips
or may be it was the CD
infact all my CDs skip
was it scratched or was it dust or do I need to stop downloading off the Internet & buy the real thing

this message is especially for me

to hear
I was here
& you were there
talking bout
why dont you grow your hair
now - I try not to cut it
now - you try not to love it
but you do...
somehow - it represents - everything I feel about you...
strong
but fragile
long
& still growing
dark
but not quite black
- its just hair -
should I even be thinking about that
ok - so Im going to try to leave my hair alone - will you help me

by the way - (this happened while I was typing)
I hate short guys - who think - they are on my level - because they can literally look me in the eye

silly rabbit - tricks are for kids
- that's what my brother Kruze always use to say...
now we only speak on Sunday's - cause we dont have much to say

again

Just to see if I could do it
I walked -
almost 15 blocks

so will I ever do it again

Just to see if I could do it
I threaten you
& you responded just like I knew you would

so will I do it again

Just to see the sun shine
I went to sleep
and this morning
the sun shined through my window

tomorrow - it will happen
again

Becuz - I luv u soooo much

Becuz - I love you soooooo much
you can Sometimes - get on my damn nerves
& thats EVERYONE - I allow in my circle
family, friends, roommate(s), oh - and the occassional MALE species

Be proud - that only U can push my buttons & make me go off - everyone else - is Obvious...

To Nia:
after reading one of your blogs - Im asking myself -
#1 - why do you THINK - Im mad at you & not speaking to you - especially when I called you THAT day - after our email conversation - your soooo funny -
#2 - Do I really want to be in a relationship - becuz - All of my successful relationships have been with women - so does that make me a lesbian? - or am I just expecting too much from the male species?
When I read this:
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
I realized that this is soooo me... & this is sooo how I feel about relationships - because - Im trying to understand the purpose of some people in my life right now - what do they want from me? or... Im willing to admit - what do I want from them?
So Listen - if it wasnt ever clear - know this:
All I really want I man to do (right now) is: take out the trash, carry large items, wash the car, be the "man" in social settings (& YES - that includes paying for things), be encouraging, tell me what I Can do - more than you tell me what Im not capable of, do that little thing you do in the bed room - so that I wont become a frequent shopper at "toys r us" & oh most importantly dont be so hard to please...
See nothing in that - said LOVE me - but if you did all that - I would think that you would
oh & p.s. - be loyal - dont take anyone else to the movies (LOL!)

See this is what happens - when I just come to the computer & start typing...

Yea... So - I occassionally hate on Beyonce

I truly believe that GOD blesses - insignificance...
Why - you ask...
Because - GOD likes to be RECOGNIZED
& because when great people - do something - no one notices
- unless they make a really big deal about it
and even then - they are giving all the recognition to themselves - (example 50 cent)

or
no one cares -
because they believe - that sort of thing happens to them all the time
so why should this GREAT thing be any different

WE all hate - a little bit
just by simply getting caught up - with the gossip
internally Thanking GOD - that there is something wrong...

Example: How often do you feed into a rumor
I know I do - let me hear something negative about Beyonce & Im on it
Do I really HATE her
No..
I dont even know the girl
But Im glad to hear that she is NOT perfect
Im glad to hear that SHE makes mistakes
Classic statement I always like to hear about Beyonce - is Sandy telling me - she's one french fry away from being a "Big Gurl" - but we love her & cant knock her Jay-Z game - for real..

Why? am I glad to hear bad information on Beyonce - you might ask
because She's doing something - that I should be doing...
following her heart
& that makes me SICK

Im laughing - as I write this.
because Im sure that people - have found a reason or reasons - to not like certain things about me
but its ok -
Im discovering that just about everyone - questions????? GOD or themselves
What if Im not good enough?
What if it doesnt work?
What will other people think?
Why does he/she think that? about me?
Does this look alright?
Will I be accepted?
What if Im not smart enough?
What if?
What if?
What if?....

Why not expect the best? _ Im asking
and your response is...

If you think it - it will come

First you think it -
Then, you do it

Everything begins with a thought...
Like -
I use to think about my next hair style (before I did it)
I would tell someone close to me
NOT - to get their approval - but to see/hear their reaction
& THEN - I would DO IT!

So that - is just a simple- example
But, what you don't know is that Im doing that right now
....thinking - not only of my NEXT hairstyle - but also my NEXT move

- Ive complained about somethings long enough to make a changes...
& NOW the universe - (which is controled by) GOD - has provided a solution...

Ive been dealing with FEAR - lately
things Im afraid to do - "because"
things Im afraid to say - "because"
what's protocol is acceptable
what's different is NOT
too busy - allowing other people - to justify me
too busy - being blind
too busy - helping others - motivating others - with their dreams
I stopped dreaming

Then, I tried to do things routinely
Thinking
Hoping
that if I did it - enough times
that i would - learn to like it
Untrue
because if I didnt like it in the first place - my intentions would always be contradicted...

Im telling you this - NOT - because
I know everything
but because - I want YOU
- to THINK for yourself

The closed door is a blessing

Why do people speak in codes?
Why do people BELIEVE - that you know what they are trying to say - or what they mean?

That's me - at times
That use to be me all the time
Saying things to people & getting angry when they didnt understand me - or what I was going through.

IM SORRY!!!!
I didnt know how to be direct - everything I've ever said - involved a long story or explanation - But I'm working on that
& actually your helping me - by giving me the opportunity to just speak my mind.

I just recently came to the realization that NOT everyone around me - DESERVES to be around me -
this blew my mind -
that
& Erykah Badu - telling me to "PACK LIGHT"

I just recently discovered that when people start - exiting out of your life - you should NOT - look upon this stage, this event, this transition and maybe this hurt - as something negative -
but get excited about the stage you are entering -
unfortunately - you could not bring them along with you & that's why - they must Go...
Remember: if someone - wants to stay - you can not make them leave -
but if they want to Go - you can not make them stay...

Decisions - deceide our future - so deceide to be content & know that GOD - always has your best interest at heart

Floating

Im floating...
wow...
I didnt know I could feel so light
Kiss me on my neck
but please dont spend the night

Yesterday - came suddenly
Tomorrow - you'll be lovin me
& Today - I love myself MORE than - "a cause"
...cause Im beautiful - without the applause
...cause I just cant help to be me
...cause I just cant help to be free

and he said - you look so ravishingly...

I smile - like I always do - but you know -
that I aint really paying attention to you
Im too busy
floating

Space

Space
we need Space
between us
only for air
to complete us
and now
Space
is a memory of us...

Im Bitter - Bitter-sweet

Add more lemon
to the sirum
cuz
some people - think

waiting for you
to sweep me off my feet

But for now
I'll count dandelions
for the lies you've told
