As I've grown and experienced different things over the years, I've found that I have failed to do something very important. Tell the people closest to me that I love them. I don't know what happened or what triggered me to make it a point to end all my conversations with the people I love and care about the most with, "I love you". I don't reserve this term of endearment for just family members, but my closest friends as well. I guess I think of the people in my life that I have lost and never said those words to and I wish that I had. Even though the love was in my heart, actions and deeds...There's nothing like telling a person that you love them.
Don't let a day go by without letting those you love know it. Don't just show it. Say it!! Let them know what they mean to you and the importance of having them in your life. To those that read this post, "I love you!" Spread the love!

Kiss and say goodbye!
This was recently sent to me in an e-mail from my wife. I thought it would be interesting to share....
Kiss and say goodbye!!
There used to be a group called the Manhattans. An early 70's group. This group had one of the smoothest tenor lead singers of all time. His name was Gerald Austin. The groups hit song was entitled "Let's just kiss and say Good-bye." It was a song about a break up between a couple that had been together for a long time. Many of you old-heads may say, "What do you know about that song boy." Well mom and dad used to play it a lot on the record player, we had it on 45!! Some of y'all know what I'm talking about. When I thought of the lyrics of the song it made me wonder about a kiss. "I had to meet you here today. There's just so many things to say. Please don't stop me til I'm through, this is something I hate to do. We've been meeting here so long.....etc....Please darling don't you cry, Let's just kiss and say good-bye! Powerful lyrics. But why a kiss? A kiss is a term of endearment. A kiss is something that is the seal of approval. Us guys always felt that getting the first kiss from a young lady was the start of something. A kiss is usually how you greet your wife. A kiss is how you say good night to your children. A kiss is what you share when you want to let a person know that you love them! So why in Luke 22:47 did Judas betray Jesus with a kiss? This gives a whole new meaning for a kiss! Jesus had 12 friends that we know as disciples. He chose his disciples Himself. The bible says that he knew one of them was the devil. So for 3 years of Jesus' life he walked, talked, and had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a man that he knew would betray Him. Some may wonder, why didn't Jesus expose Judas for what he was? Why did Jesus allow Judas to continue on with Him. The answer is simple. Jesus knew that prophecy had to be fulfilled. He knew he had an ultimate purpose in life. So in order to fulfill the promise, Jesus had to let someone he didn' t necessarily care for as a person tag along to keep Himself focused on the purpose. Here goes....Get ready to SHOUT! There are people in your life that are there only to bother you. These people are in your life to keep you on your knees. These people are in your life because they are apart of the problem and the solution. These same people will help catapult you to your destiny! When Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, he opened our eyes to the fact that a kiss is not always what we intend it to be. Be careful who you let put their lips on you. When I say lips it's not always in the kissing form. Be careful of who speaks well of you. Be careful of who always has an answer. Be careful of the ones that seem to like you but it's just something about them that you just can't put your finger on. Everyone in your life is not meant to stay in your life. Let's just kiss and say good bye. You can't carry everyone with you. There are some places that God wants you to go that only you can go. Learn to love, leave, and live your life as God intended! Next time you're betrayed by someone you THOUGHT was a friend, just remember "Let's Just Kiss and Say Good Bye! Jesus already knew the betrayal was on the way. So get over it, step on it, but don't live your life wondering Why?

A change of heart...
I started writing a blog on why men cheat and I realized that it really wasn't necessary. My sister told me to not write about the same ol shit that everybody always write about so I deleted that posting.
Please bear with my brief absence as I delve deeper into my well of intellect and find a subject to enlighten you on.

Blogging-An Act of Self-Important Behavior
I figured that I'd start off my first blog by bashing "the art of blogging." You see, for the longest time I wondered why in the hell would people waste their precious time reading the innermost thoughts, ideas and experiences of a bunch of people that either you know or have no earthly idea who these people are. Then it occurred to me why as I watched another episode of "Flavor of Love 3". People in this new millenium are voyeurs. We like to watch and be entertained by other people's pain, happiness, misery and suffering. Blogging is like the literary form of a reality show where we use our imagination to bring to life the words of the strangers' blogs we read. So in honor of the great "Reality Rennaisance" that has taken place...(Thank you MTV....Without the first season of "The Real World" none of this would be possible) I am now a proud participant of the world of blogging.
Consider yourselves to be lucky that a man of my intellect, charm and wit has decided to embrace this medium and share my thoughts with the world. You may not agree with my opinions and believe me, I have an opinion about EVERYTHING. You may not understand my thought process at times...That's the glory of this forum....A mental trainwreck is waiting to happen to all of us with each blog we post...searching for life's greater meaning and most important of all...Being able to post an opinion or retort to other people's thoughts like what we have to say is so fucking important....
Thank you for taking time to read this...In the time you read this blog you could've done something important with your life...Now I know where I stand with you...Ha...suckers....you're in my world now and I'm not letting you go! By the way...did I mention how important it is that you do read this blog in it's entirety? Otherwise you will miss the real message behind these words I'm sharing with you. It's not what you say...It's how many people that listen to your words and repeat it that matters. Bloggers unite and let's have mental orgasms with each other until we doze off into a coma like sleep and awaken to the reality of our own worlds once again, only to live to blog another day.
