Weakness of the Flesh

The date: April 29th. The mood: peaceful. The Macbook: always poised and ready for the next thrill err..the next thought

I want to talk about being [FAITHFUL] right now. 

Somehow, people have forgotten the definition of being faithful. 

However, it's not like the definition has changed.

I don't really understand it. Why can't being faithful trend? Is it too much to ask for? As if falling in love is/was easy.....

I just think that people should be more faithful. However, there are liars among thieves and hardly anyone can be considered noble. With that said, I think one of the most selfless things you can do in a relationship is (gasp) STAY FAITHFUL!!

So why aren't people being faithful? There's only one real answer. People give into the weakness of the flesh. All the time. That's not a new concept either. People are lured into the illusion of their own self-righteousness. But how can this be changed?

It starts with us. We must change. We must advocate change. Since people want to act like whatever. SMH. Anyway, change must come into play. So let's not say we're being faithful. Let's actually BE faithful. :D 

After all, you'll keep your relationships healthy and wholehearted (hopefully lol :P) 

Tussle

Just a few thoughts. 

I CAN'T stand feeling like this.


I want to look you in the face and tell you how it's REALLY going down.


But I'm a ghost to you. You refuse to see what's in front of you. 


And then, part of me says I REFUSE to give myself up to someone like you. Too this and that and imperfect. 


So I ask myself if I REALLY want this.....and automatically the answer is no. 


Looking back on this, I'll laugh it off, maybe hate myself a little less. Oh, Ron, you were SO ready to jump in headfirst, but now you realize your ass MAYBE would've been better using the stairs to enter the cold water......


I guess I'm lucky to realize this now....with nothing on the line. 


I'm just.........in transition right now. The questions are piling up. And I have no answers. So I progress further into the future. Yeah. That's all I can do.


Guess this is my prose moment...lol

Day of Silence

Today, April 16th, is the Day of Silence. As the website says, hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in their schools. 

I did this senior year, and it wasn't easy but it was for a good cause, considering the way I've seen LGBT people treated over the years. Even though I didn't do it this year, I am STILL in FULL support for this cause. As if being a black man in America isn't hard enough.


When I was in high school, I was called gay a lot. And I still am. So just from experience I would support a cause like this. Luckily, I wasn't bullied to a pulp. However, there are kids & teenagers that are afraid to go to schools because they are persecuted for being gay. Such a travesty considering that kids go to school to learn and NOT for seldom anything else......


It sucks when people feel they can't be themselves, you know? Everyone on earth is entitled to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, right? And when that pursuit of happiness is taken away, what is the end result? 


What happens when unalienable rights are brought back "down to earth", so to speak? 


Today, the Day of Silence acknowledges those who have been persecuted for being gay, being a lesbian, bisexual and transgendered, or simply LGBT. So people take a vow of silence for 24 hours. If you know someone who has been persecuted, then why not? And it's not just LGBT either as it says on the website....does Carl Walker-Hoover ring a bell? He took his life from being bullied. Why are people so obsessed with identifying others? To me, homophobia is sickening. It's an expression of spreading HATE. NOTHING MORE. The thing is, people are STUPID and don't realize the consequences of their actions until afterwards.


So, I'll close by saying this. Unalienable rights-intact. Stupidity-exiled, but people refuse to learn from their mistakes. Silence-golden. =) 


-Ron says let's live and leave hatred alone. 

Bucket Lists

So I'm on Facebook tonight and I see that one of my friends have a pretty good bucket list. [#nowplaying You Bring Me Joy - Anita Baker]


Do we take these things seriously on the pursuit of LIFE! and happiness?


I think it's personally important to create one of these things. =) I mean, why not, right? You're entitled to dream, so why not dream as big as you can?? [flips through songs]


I've made a draft lol since people really struggle with creating one...and they're right-this is hard lol [#nowplaying That's How Strong My Love Is - Alicia Keys]  Some of my items on this list include a lot of traveling-Venice, Barcelona, and Lima, Peru to name a few. What better way to fulfill existence than through travel? I love traveling though I dread long flights and conserving iPod battery power lol


I know some other things I would like to accomplish...but they haven't been added to the list. And that's ok-you know why? Because sometimes accomplishing things will come sooner than you realize. You realize your capabilities and your situation just isn't that bad after all. At least the short-term goals, right? 


[#nowplaying Unthinkable (I'm Ready) - Alicia Keys] So, I guess I say all of this to say that dreams are within anyone's reach. YES. 


So go ahead. Make the biggest one you can. And promise yourself you'll accomplish all of them. Now GO. Do it.

Sleepy Thoughts I

"The capability of humans never cease to amaze me. After all, I am one of them. So wouldn't that mean I am amazing?" -R.S.

Really though....who counts sheep? Sleep Thoughts I

Having a relationship is overrated. Being single is overrated. There's no middle point to me. People (and family embarrassingly enough) PRESS me to be in a relationship with a lady, but I can't say yes when my heart is timidly searching for sustenance-sustenance in the form of stability, in the form of  It's hungry, yes, and someone will end up devoured, for it does not want to stop. My heart knows what it wants too, and it hasn't met it yet. FYI, I'm perfectly content with my single-ness. After all, I'm been standing on my own two feet for a while now. Now, I have a legitimate reason for this too...not like I really need one but whatever lol. My reason is that I've been working at my current job..well here's a truck lol for about 5 months now.....and I don't feel like spending my hard-earned money on a girl about to leave me a few months later.....so that means I'm not looking for now (as hard as that may be to believe) but I'm looking for later. And seemingly contrary to popular belief (and people really care about sexual orientation nowadays.....SMH) I love women =) I just am not seeking a relationship at the moment. Yeah, shit happens and I might have slipped somewhere down the line....I'm human and more than willing to admit my mistakes when I've made them. These thoughts of mine.....are hopefully temporary since I don't want to be alone all my life lol. But I'll end like this-wherever life takes you, love like you've never been hurt. Make sure this life is unforgettable, since you only got one! If you find love, I hope that orgasm is OUTRAGEOUS. Ok I'm gonna try and find some sleep now lol. 

In The Current Tennis World.....

Well now, the big one in Miami is currently underway without Serena Williams :( However, we still have a good looking veteran by the name of Venus Williams.

Ron think she looks great in her own designed stuff =) 

     It's hard not to think of Venus while they're in their hometown event. They just seem to play their best here at Miami. Hope Venus wins it! She's already through to the third round where she'll face Roberta Vinci, who I know nothing about lol. Just wanted to mention this...nothing too shocking... =) 

What we should be reading vs. What people are actually reading....

I'm probably contradicting with this idea I have about what we should read versus what we are actually reading. At my disposal are two sites: blackamericaweb.com and mediatakeout.com. If you are familiar with both, then you should already be aware of what you should be reading instead of what you may actually be reading. So today I'm gonna take a random article from both sites. From blackamericaweb, there is currently an article about people ranting about (I mean against..) Obama, entitled Think Before You Rant. Here it is if you want to take a look.

Obama seems to be under a lot of scrutiny when it comes to his Republican opponents. Actually, he IS.......but they seem to underestimate the brilliant mind of Obama. To sum up the article, Republican voices are heard and countered with valid facts from different points in history, from WWII to the signing of the Constitution. On mediatakeout, there's an article about a woman "who puts her cheating baby's father on blast,"putting the results of a paternity test on his Facebook wall. Ain't that some mess. But anyway, Here's that article. 

Well, first of all, SMH at Repubs and ghetto black people. Where's the class? Are you devoid of class? 
Now, to the point-if you even show the slightest concern about the way things are around you, then you should be reading blackamericaweb at every instance you get, black people. You know what, EVERYONE should read it and be open to a different way of thinking. It's basically the President of the United States vs. some random black couple......not to say the cheater didn't deserve what was coming to him.....and Obama takes that hater's fuel and just uses it in ways I don't even understand lol. 


So, in conclusion.....people should be reading BlackAmericaWeb especially if you're a person of color instead of Media Takeout. Time to read what's important compared to trivial shit. You're gonna wish you read when all of a sudden prices go up on everything. Media Takeout isn't gonna tell you how it's hitting your hood. 


Or maybe you want to read both. But which one are you really gonna benefit from? Food for thought.
