A Brief Philosophy: Desire, Belief, Gold - 5/8/10 (from 5/6/10)

"If you wanted gold, but did not believe you could find it, would you still search for it? Highly unlikely. Instead, you would take whatever glittered, as you felt it was as close to gold as you could get, or you would just avoid glitter altogether until your desire for it could not be kept down. Replace gold with a good man/woman, and you'll see one of the great dating issues: if you don't believe, it won't happen."

A Freestyle Piece: When Love Leaves - 5/8/10 (from 5/5/10)

"You follow, I lead; You lead, I follow...if something isn't done, we'll be nothing by tomorrow...outside forces have caused inner disarray...tears now come from fears that we can neither allay...the world we built doth steadily crumble...for fear of taking responsibility, neither of us even mumble...yet our bodies speak volumes, while we sit silently...this home becomes a house as love leaves quietly..."

A Brief Philosophy: Heal Yourself First - 5/5/10

"Ladies, and men, there is no hospital or treatment center for emotional scars. Time doesn't heal, progress does. However, don't make someone your drugstore. Don't make someone be your supplier of cocoa butter (love/care), sweets (affection), and aspirins (sex). That's wrong and unfair. You need to heal yourself before you get involved with someone else; caretaking is a draining affair, it can affect that person."

A Freestyle Piece: Untitled - 5/4/10

"There is no love for the man making the honest living...no fame for the woman doing the honest giving...one must live in pure opulence to receive recognition...or be subject to the lower side of elitist separatism...money is power yet power corrupts...greed consumes those we call 'higher-ups'...we at the bottom may live with much stress...but when judgment comes, we shall atone for far less..."

A Brief Philosophy: Dramaddiction - 5/4/10

"A woman that can't (won't) find a good man is one that loves drama. She passes up on good men because they are drama-free...she would rather argue and be up and down emotionally, because there's more action and spontaneity. A good man isn't enough. A woman that doesn't know her worth is like an addict: she'll search for disrespect until she finds it...then complain about how much disrespect there is."

A Freestyle Piece: Reaching In - 5/1/10

"If I reach into you, what will I find? A closed heart and a scarred mind? Will I find pain with a price? Will I find the stigma that a man must live a life of vice? Will I find the darkness of despair? Does any of you still genuinely care? You've given love, yet you were paid with apathy; I'm not him, don't be mad at me. For every man with bad credit, there's one with good merit; love can reach you if you let it..."

A Brief Philosphy: Home Comes First - 5/1/10

"Never allow the DESIRE to treat someone right to supercede the NEED to treat yourself best. At times, due to human nature, we can long for companionship enough to look for it without taking care of ourselves. It's like looking for a house, trying to find a really nice one that has what you want and fits you, while letting your current home fall into disrepair. How can you sell an unkempt home? Think about it."
