S2: I've Been Keeping Things From You

I wrote a lot of post in the last 5 months and have only posted 2. I apologize but I’ve been having issues. I was going to post one of those “post” today but as I was reading over them I realized that I don’t feel the same way or would even say things the same way as I did when I wrote them. It doesn’t take away from the intent of the post or quality; I’ve just being growing a lot. I’ve been learning new ways to express my thoughts in a different manner. Instead of not posting them because of the way I feel, sometime soon I will post them all on one day. It will be the end of Series 2, and I will start again with Series 3. It’s kind of timely seeing how I started series 2 when I moved to Atlanta and I will be ending it and moving away just as soon. So in the future maybe 2 to 3 weeks I will be doing a mass post and doing away with Series 2 and beginning Series 3 in a new city

S2 Broad Street Bullying

Anybody ever been harassed by a bully? I have, I've maybe even been a bully a time or too. I think its weird, just the whole topic of bullying. People are really passionate about it now. I guess because kids are killing themselves over it now. I remember I used to justice bullying by saying we all got bullied but that doesn't make it right. I still wonder why kids are now killing themselves these days because of it. Bad parenting maybe? I’m not judging I’m just saying that maybe that’s a reason. I do know this, if I went back and got to live my childhood again, I'd fight every last one of them. No matter the outcome I wish I would have fought. If not physically at least stood up for myself, and that Includes everybody; my dad, my teachers, policeman, kids, brothers and sisters, all of them. I just saying bullying is not from kids. I have been bullied by a number of grown people as a child. I don't really have a definitive statement to make about the way I feel about bullying I just wanted to bring the subject up. I don't have a solution, nor do I have a way to make it stop, if I even want to make it stop. I was just thinking about it so I wrote about it. Maybe bullying is an issues maybe it’s not. I don't know how much I care. It's been a long time since I've been bullied. I’m used to standing up for myself. Might not be the best idea always but at least I can sleep at night knowing that I have my self-pride.

S2: Stalkery A Form of Flattery? Entry II of III

As in my last post I will be discussing love/relationships. This post also has to do with Hollywood's portrayal of love stories. I asked a question one time; can any form of stalking be a form of flattery? Having been stalked and having had my privacy violated, I want to be careful not to justify all forms of stalking but I wanted to pose the question from the stand point of pursuing a women. How much "finding out information", if any, is too much? In my mind finding out any information is a little creepy. I guess I should come up with a scale. That way I or you can say "finding out my phone number without me telling you is an 8 on the "creepy" meter". For those of you who don't know what creepy means, it means scary or inappropriate. So what is too much? Last names? Jobs? Hangout spots? Likes? Dislikes? Web pages? Schools? Ex's? Addresses? Or is it just anything that hasn't been told to you? I always think about the movie "Love Jones" when it comes to this subject. Lorenz Tate's character pursues Nina Long's character in my eyes as the most stalking way I've ever seen. Actually getting her address and going to her home. Nia Long’s character Instead of being terrified and calling the police let's this guy that she doesn't really know, in her house and thus the movie’s love story is born. I don't know if people think about that. But that was really something that really stuck out to me. Had that not of happened the movie would of never been. She rejected his every advance before that time. These are the movies that we were raised on. If your parents never taught you how to approach a women this would be your example and you would think it was ok to advance a women like this. Or is this the way that women want to be approached? Man that's scary to me. My sister has one time to tell me some crazy dude came to her house after she turned him down. Don't ya’ll remember "Player's Club" how that guy followed Diamond home and told her he was just making sure she got home safe Like he does every night. What's the difference? Is it cute to find out where you work and send flowers? These are real questions to me I want to know where the line is. I know where I stand on these questions but where does everyone else stand? And shouldn't it be universal answers? You think about it I know what I think.

S2 Love Me Like the Movies Entry I of III

I’m addicted to love stories, yes it’s true. I’m a hopeless or,
rather, a hopeful romantic. Love Jones, Brown Sugar, Poetic Justice, Something’s
gotta give, 50 first dates, and one of my favorites Eternal Sunshine of the
Spotless Mind. I’m just a sucker for a good love story. I wouldn’t say I’m so
much of a sucker for love, but I would love to be in one of those stories. But
how realistic are the movie’s “love story” compared to real life “love Stories”?.
If we took some of the sweetest scenarios from the movies and made them
reality. Most wouldn't work. Like running to the airport at the last minute or
holding a boom box outside a girls window. Airport security is stupid crazy and
standing outside someone’s window might get you arrested or shot by her father
or something. Don't get me wrong the ideas are lovely, and I love to watch
them. But I can't see it actually happening. So without it being over
exaggerated what is a real love story? That's a real question. I don't have all
the answers I just know that when I'm in love I turn into a fighter. I fight to
keep that love. I fight to stay in love and if I think love is slipping I fight
to rejuvenate it. I'll be everything I need to be for a woman that deserves it.
I believe in true love and believe it is to be cherished. So when a girl asked
me while we were listening to a KEM song, "do men really talk like that to
women" my responses was yes I do and I have. I guess I'm part of the old
school or my image of love has been tainted by love movies and love songs.

S2 PENNs on the state of child abuse

This is not a political blog nor is this a political post.
I'm just writing about what I see and what I feel inside me. I know my voice is
one, and its content sounds similar to many other voices out there. I don't
know all the facts, I haven't been watching and dissecting every statement and
getting all the evidence to make a judgment on what is really going on with the
PENN state situation. So I won't judge the men who are involved or the children
who were involved. I'm just here to tell you what I think of the whole
situation that I know about thus far. There is a lot of wrong doing going on.
Grow men or women having sexual relations with children weather male or female
is sick. Do you know what it does to a child to be abused sexually? Whether it
is true or not the people of PENN state rioting because someone who knew about
it was fired was utterly ridiculous. I'm absolutely positive that this is not
and will not be the only case that comes out like this. When child molestation
cases come out, It's usually becomes the thing to do. I feel sorry of the young
kids who had to go through that. Kids don't know if that's supposed to be
happening. They don't want to tell on their grown up friend. Kids just want to
be liked and loved. They don't know the difference in good or bad attention
they just know attention. As an adult, people should be more sensitive to the
situation if the allegations are true or not. If the allegations are true, PENN
state needs to clean house. Something needs to be done. An example needs to be
made. That’s just my opinion.

S2 Self Help Yourself

Everybody strives for it or some form of it. It's definition is personal for the most part. What am I talking about you might ask? The meaning of life. What is it about and what does a 26 year old have to say about it? I'm not living my dream yet. I don't know where my next pay check is coming from. I belong to a group of Americans that are searching for a stable direction to go in. Young and broke. We barely make it. And the only reason we do make it is because we have to; we don't have a choice. We're smart enough not to be out on the street, but not focused enough to live our dreams so we teeter totter between what we want and what we need, what we are and who we want to be. Living pay check to pay check, we survive. What are we missing you might ask? Why can't we get it together? I can only speak for myself as a voice from the people, not for the people. I lack the confidence in myself. I'm not talking down on myself. I love me, I just know the facts. Seeing my potential and believing in my potential is not enough. I need to have confidence that I alone can achieve my goals. That's the meaning of life, confidence. We all need it and when we have it look at what we can achieve. Look at what people who have it have achieved. Confidence built the pyramids and the twin towers. It was a vision first. If you believe it you can do it. Go to the book store right now and go to the self help section, pick a book any book. Read it from front to back and pick up another one in a different section. They are about having self confidence. It's a must.

A VOICE FROM THE PEOPLE SERIES 2

Greetings other voices from the people. This is the first installment of A Voice From the People Series 2. An introduction if you will. Why the separation, you might ask? Well after The Evolution of the Lie (The Art of Lying), I stopped writing. Between then and now I have moved and become a totally different person from who I was before. My drive is stronger my vision is bigger and I've limited or got rid of some toxic or useless people. I'm better and greater then I ever was, and that's what I strive for. Progression is what my life is dedicated to. Change is good in my life and its done me great thus far. I hope the people who are used to reading my blog can see the difference and appropriate my transformation. Ya'll know I do this blog mostly for you so with that being said let's go... It feels good to be writing again!!!
