KANYE KANYE KANYE

WHY KANYE ..WHY?

My poor little Kanye. He seems to really be going through something. After the death of his mother and breakup with long time girlfriend Alexis ..something just ain't right about him. It makes me wonder is he loosing his mind? He recently has become a designer for Louis Vuitton. Don't get me wrong these new exclusive Red sneakers are dynamic. His style has always been one to watch. He is innovative and a trendsetter. His style is unique and one of a kind.Lately his "individuality" has gone to the extreme. His new modern mullet and entourage concerns me. I believe Kanye is a genius who is trying to find his way.Most brilliant people are misunderstood. This get up he is parading around in.. I guess is an outlet for his creative expression. As a role model for many young metro sexual men...I pray his new look doesn't make an appearance to a city near you.LOL

My Endless Love

The Notebook is hands down one of my favorite movies. I always wondered if me and my "Noah" will ever end up like that. No matter what happens, a true love will stand the test of time .

It seems like everyone has that one person in their lives that has their heart . No matter the space or time.Its like no matter what they have been through they always find their way back to one another. Even if they vowed to never speak to that person again. It amazes me how when love chooses you , there is nothing you can do about it. In The Notebook even with all the obstacles they still managed to find their way back to each other. COuld it really end up like that?

I know that when Ally was engaged , Noah never escaped her thoughts . I wonder if she ever imagined living life without him ? I wonder how knew that she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with Noah? It seems like all the odds were against their love . He lived far away. Her parents hated him. He was not wealthy and unpolished . He never hesitated to express how he felt . I wonder how did she convince the people who objected their romance that he was indeed " the one"?Yes .....The Notebook is merely a movie. Yessss...the characters are not real. But they represent couples all over the world who share a love that never dies. Some are lucky enough to end up with the ones who have captivated their hearts forever and others find new loves , but they just don't compare to that "Noah/Ally" love.

Sitting here in my room..may I add by my lonesome...makes me wonder if these Ally/Noah relationships really exist? Can the art in your heart really become a reality?It is impossible to have hope in the idea of an endless love ...

Footprints

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”

One Nation Under God....

Today I realized the world I live in is not all peaches and cream. People are living in times with real problems. Real hurts and pains. Real issues and dilemmas. A husband and father of 5 beautiful children took the lives of his entire family. He killed his children, wife and himself to save them from the pain of going without. It made my heart cry out when I read the story on CNN. I could not fathom killing the kids I gave life to...or the man I decided to spend the rest of my life with.
This story is just another example of how desperate the American people are right now. Americans are resorting to killing each other just to eat and see another day. That is so disturbing, yet real. I never thought I would see the day when humans would not see the value in another man’s life or even their own. To take someone’s life is playing God. A killer makes the huge decision of who will be given life and who will take their last breath. Although we are going through rough economic times I know things will get better.

A few months ago my mind was programmed in a negative state. I was a victim of crime and my attitude about life began to change. I saw the negative in everything and lived my life in fear. I became desperate to find some kind of hope. Living in fear everyday and have no peace in my own mind, did not sit well with me .One day I had to decide that I was not going to allow all the things going on around me to define my happiness. My life is nowhere near perfect but I have learned to be content were I am.

Barack Obama ignited hope into the hearts of many American s. He gave us faith that things will get better. It breaks my heart to see that barely a week after his installment, people are giving up ALREADY. It is understandable that not knowing where your next meal will come from, or where you will lay your head or how you will pay your bills can bear down on you. A measure of a man or woman is defined by how strong they are when things are not always good. Strength, faith, dedication and perseverance are all essential to survival.

Today I’m starting a campaign to pray for the peace of mind for my fellow Americans. I pray for faith, assurance and steadfastness. At the very lowest times in my life, I looked to God and he picked me up. I believe that if we found refuge in the arms of God...he will give us peace and security. I am well aware that not having and going without is new to us Americans. We live in a world where resources are abundant and at our fingertips. But everything must change. God uses situation to show us things and elevate us. Imagine going without and being poor as a life story. The economic crisis in America could be a lot worse so we must be thankful for what we have. Even when things are going astray we must seek the positives in our lives. Like the gift of life. The gift of freedom. The gift of prayer. I challenge my readers to pray for the well-being of our country. Pray for hope and mercy. Pray for understanding when the unexpected happens. Most of all pray for peace for our nation. Truthfully the only thing we need is God. When you seek God he will provide everything you need and want.

His Song

I have discovered a song that truly depicts the kind of love, relationship and man I desire. This song is dedicated to the mystery man that has yet to make an appearance in my life . I will know when he has arrived and is truly special when my heart smiles.


SOMEONE By.Musiq Soulchild
I never wanted a man that wanted
Me for my name or material things
See I always hope for a man that's so sure, emotionally secure
With spiritual faith
A man that I can trust with all of my secrets
And even listen to all of my issues
A man who never judge
Me or how I was
He deals with me strictly through love

Someone who will put up with the things
Loving me can bring
But still be there to see us through
Someone who would put up
With the strange and complicated things
Cause I would do the same for him too
Someone who I can be real with
Aint gotta be perfect
Because loving one another is all that matters
It's not hard to explain
So believe me when I say
That I found all of that in you

All that I hope for a friendship that's so pure
A guy I can talk to bout whatever is on my heart
A man that needs me
That trust and believes me
That wont take my kindness as some kind of weakness
A man who bares his soul who is willing to let go
That wants me to lead him but knows how to take control
And when I am feeling down
Cause things are going wrong
He fills me up and makes me feel strong

You are that someone who loves me
Through all my inperfections
You know my heart is filled with nothing but good intentions
You are the one that told me
Long as we got us
Nothing matters
You are the one that sees the joy through the pain
You are my light through the rain
Here and now
Boy I am saying
It's you
You're my heart
It's you
Your that someone I can truly say that I'll never find another love like you
