To Me...television is overrated.

Not only television...going to the movie theaters as well. Why spend 10.00 + dollars to go and see a flick that will be on television in a matter of months. It diminishes our scope of thought...the box continues to grow smaller, because television and movies doesn't allow us to think outside that box anymore, it tells us how we should be and what we are constantly. I miss the movies that test our imagination. The future.....

I'm up ! can't get to sleep, can't or will not write. I'm loopy, like when I was in college, and I would wake up with a hang over. Peepin at your blog. It will be time to get up soon.
I agree, movies should trip you out. Take you there, and back, but leave you with a feeling of wow !, like a wet dream. But most movies are over rated. I have a lesbian friend, who is in-between relationships, her and I are going to see Colored Girls this weekend, I read the book, written in the 70's. Men of Color, hold your cookies! I am a male feminist. We men all have an element of dog in us, my first sexual experience was based on a lie. I was 15, the girl was 17, I lied and told her I loved her and I would write her love letters that were pure out and out fabricated ball faced lies that I loved her. Hell I was 15, what did I know about love? What I loved was her big legs and full lips. Let me chill, you can tell, I haven't had much sleep.
Once I get to school, bam those kids light a fire of energy in me. They are great kids, so much potential, I hope and pray, I can inspire them to see that potential, and that failing,hurting is all a part of life.
Green tea, a bagel, a hot shower, I'm good to go.

Male feminist...wow, that's a first.....lol, it just tells me you know the power that women possess (and I am not talking about the physicality of women, even though it does change a man's plan..lol)...you appreciate our worth *muah*.....Colored Girls...can't really comment, not sure if I want to see it, I told a friend that I would, but have changed my mind....I usually go against the grain....and from the reviews, it sounds like it's an awesome depiction of our lives as black women...THAT really doesn't appeal to me....because someone is living that life and to put that on the BIG screen, with BIG stars playing the role...it kinda glorifies the pain that people actually feel, for example, a lot of people are comparing it to Precious, which I haven't seen either, but of course know the storyline...the person who has experience such pain, in simple terms....doesn't that SHIT on the big screen...this is why I love short stories and documentaries, because the characters aren't CHARACTERS, they're real people playing out their lives on camera.

Why didn't you tell the girl that you loved her big legs and full lips, because I doubt she loved you too...lol, cause she was only 17..what did she know about love at that age....lol.

Male Feminist !
My best, was brought out of me, by woman. When I had nothing, thought of myself as nothing but a high-yella nigga, who could hold his own on the streets.
Lots of fights in my early teens, had to proove to the dark chocolate brothers who had a problem with me macking chocolate sisters, I had no fear and felt no pain. It was strange I could take punches and would feel no pain at that moment. I was 14 yrs old when I beat the ass, of a 22yr old gang member, who threw a chocolate malt in the face of my 12 yr old cousin.
I did a month in juvie,and had a hit put out on me by the gang.
My mother sent me to GA. to live with my grandmother(my fathers mother). Grandma, brought the best out of me. When it was happening, I had no idea, but it worked. When a man eyes a woman he is attracted to, what happens is more blood rushes to the penis, than the brain. I call it the eye candy addiction, we men are born with it, we will go to our grave with it. We are slaves to the visual, image of the female form. I must admit it feels so good and it's effect is euphoria in nature. "But" it is based on just that partucliar outer physical appearance. That's when the "dog" in us makes us do some foul, lame, unexcuseable shit to get in the panties. Learning to slow your roll, and getting to know whats on the inside of that eye candy, is what can be an adventure, especially if you start to like and understand that inner woman. You notice, I say "start", because we as men will never truely understand the mind of a woman. Nor would I want to,some mysteries are meant not to be solved.....just enjoyed ! It can be that time of month, she can feel bloated, bad hair day etc. A real man who respects, and loves the essence of the female, it's what being a man is all about. The best sex I have ever had was, not being on top,or on the bottom,but it was when we were both on our sides facing each other, looking into each other eyes as equals. A male feminist !
