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!!!

The Evolution of The Lie (The art of lying)

“You’re a mother fucking lie”. Right out the gate. I've met lies of all kind and I've met liars of all types too. I hate liars. I could give you this long drawn out explanations about my ex that could explain the reason why I don't like them, but that's not for this blog. The reason is because when you lie you might as well be saying that they (The person you’re lying to) aren’t smart enough to figure it out anyway so I’ll tell them anything. That’s how I take it. And that’s pretty much how it is. Think about it…

I used to watch this TV show called “Heroes”. Anybody heard of it? Of course you have. But just in case you haven't here's what it is in a nut shell. "Save the cheerleader" “save the cheerleader"... that's a joke. It was for the people who have seen it. Sorry I got to write for everybody’s enjoyment. Okay , so heroes was a TV show about people who developed super powers and could do things like paint the future, read minds, things like never die, and start and stop time, all kinds of super powers. The concept of the show was good but the show just ended up not being so great. My reasoning for it not being so good was because it wasn't real enough. You got a guy on there who wants to cut the top of the head off of a cheerleader but can't cuss because its primetime TV on regular cable. I'm just saying there are a lot more reasons but that is definitely one. Okay so now that you’re up to speed you should be wondering “what does this failed TV show have to do with lying". Well good question bob. (Like a bob would really read my blog. Ha!) now let me explain. In the first season the heroes got their powers and saved the world. But in the second season when they added older characters that had their powers longer they revealed that there was more to their super powers then what they know. The guy who could read mines found out that he eventually was going to be able to take his mind and control another person’s mind, also being able to put your consciousness or soul in another body. The guy who could start and stop time would be able to travel into the past and future and teleport to any place on earth. The show was getting good; needless to say they fucked it up. But the concept was great. All that to get you seeing where I'm coming from when I tell you that there are people who are evolved liars or evolved in the Art of Lying. I'm going to try and explain it deeper because I know you've never heard of this before and if you have or believe the last statement about lies evolving then I know you haven't heard it on the level I'm going to try and take you. So let's begin.

If you’re a good enough liar you can make a lie sound like the truth. If you’re a better enough liar you can make your lie the truth. Okay okay I know that was heavy so let me write it again and then I’ll break it down. (Read slow) "If you’re a good enough liar you can make a lie sound like the truth. If you’re a great enough liar you can make your lie the truth. I actually said that statement last night and the thing that popped into my head was, "that's the devil" (I was actually talking about a person). In all manner of definitions that is a pretty accurate way to describe the devil I'm just saying. Okay the evolution of the lie. A lie is relatively simple. Ex., “I took out the trash”, “I didn't see your call”, “I'm a business man”, and “I didn't get your message”. An evolved lie from and evolved liar sounds more like (I’m just going to use the last example to expound); I got your message but I didn't message you because I was in a meeting and when it was over It just slipped my mind. It actually gets deeper: "I didn't see you message until just now (4 hrs later) my phone has been acting up, I messaged you as soon as I got your text. Now notice the detail and the facts in the previous lie. This lie can actually be true. Sometimes it happens, it really does. But they don't happen as often as one would like someone to believe. You all have phones you know how they work. A lie can get even deeper depending on who it’s being told to. Instead defending oneself, turn it around and put it back on your accuser by not even acknowledging you got the message. Ex. “you didn't message me; I know you didn’t, I've been getting messages all day, you’re lying". Wait Wait Wait I'm realizing that this is turning into more of a seminar on how to tell better lies and that's not what I'm about. Yes it’s true in the traditional since I am not a liar but in the asshole world, me pretty much being an asshole, I am able to tell and make lies the truth. Don't get it twisted this blog is not about me and my knowledge on how to execution an evolved lie, because lying is not a trait that I don’t possess (Unless need… like talking to the police or going to a high school reunion.) it is just a defense mechanism that helps me see liars and counter act their lies. I'm pretty good at. Look! This is my attempt to inform you that these liars are out here and they are making their own reality and you can get caught up in it. This is real stuff people. Feelings are involved, decisions are involved, your heart is involved, and your mental health is involved. Someone can take you in their world and break you down, have you stressed out thinking you’re the problem and instead they are the problem. They will pass their insecurities on to you, their judgments on to you and you will sit there and take it because in your head things are adding up, but it’s all an illusion. I think I got my point across for the most part. I'm going to try and squeeze in a lil wrap up to explain it just a little bit further

The definition of a lie is anything that is not the truth, anything that will detour you from what is actually happening. For you liars out there that don't know your liars. The opposite of honesty is a lie. If you’re not being honest about something you’re a lying. And you are a liar. If you tell half truths you are a liar. If you have no intentions of doing something and bull shit until there's an excuse not to do something. You are a fucking liar. There’s no way around it. I was listening to someone tell me lie after lie and finally it just hit me. You know the light bulb came on. "This nigga is liar, Damn it sounds like the truth, because they actually believe that what they are saying is ,absolutely without a shadow of a doubt, the truth". A person that lies that good is selfish and means you no good. My suggestion to you is get away. There will be nothing you can tell them to make them see the world or the lie they are living in and sucking you in it to is a lie. It’s a harsh reality. Well I put it out there. What you do with the information is on you. I've done my part.
