I have create a new network: "dumb relationship questions and discussions" http://odinson11203.ning.com -- in which people with relationship woes can ask questions "WITHOUT" the arguments and fights that transpire here -- as you may know! It's not really to have the sexual fun discussion that goes on here but to answer serious questions people may have. Profiles can be created like BlackPlanet Profiles.
The goal for this forum is to provide a safe haven for people in turmoil in relationships. Breakups and issues can cause people to be lost and confused. That confusion creates desperation; which cause people to seek explanation, clarification and advice (by any means necessary) as to what their next move should be! I HAVE BEEN THERE -- I HAVE DONE THAT - AND I FEEL I HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PASS THE LOVE THAT WAS FREELY GIVEN TO ME!
If you want to be entertained and learn what happened during one of your breakups and what not to do, this is the book for you! "
My second book will appearing late this year will be Titled: Here We Go Again... They always tell the truth - even when they lie!
ONCE AGAIN I'VE BEEN HURT BY TRUSTING SOMEONE! AFTER NINE MONTHS OF WHAT I CALLED A "WONDERFUL" RELATIONSHIP, UNLIKE THE LAST PERSON THAT SAID THAT: "SHE JUST DIDN'T LOVE ME" -- THIS ONE IS SAYING THAT SHE "GOT SCARED" BECAUSE I'M A GOOD MAN! WHY SHE SCARED? -- SHE DON'T KNOW...BUT NEEDS SPACE AND TIME. THE KNOWLEDGE FROM THIS BOOK HAS EASED THE "BRUNT" OF THE INJURY AND IT IS "PROVEN" USEFUL!
IF YOU THINK I'M WHINNING....KEEP DATING! SOONER OR LATER, WHEN HEARTACHE HITS YOU, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SAYING: WHERE'S-THAT-BOOK?!! LOL

Now, about myself; I am a black professional who works for a Prestigious Law Firm in New York.
I like movies, dancing, dinner, conversation and sharing feelings. I love to laugh and will pay good money to have fun at comedy clubs.
I love cooking romantic dinners, with romantic settings. It doesn't mean I'm cheap, it means I love to cook! And watch someone enjoy my cooking. No - 911 dialing will not be needed.
I also love SpongeBob SquarePants; which I sing along with the SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song -- Aye Aye "CAPTAIN".... So if you have a problem with that -- do not e-mail me.
If you love to be wined and dined the old fashion way, somewhat like the movies but better, if you crave attention, if you love being spoiled and treated as someone special, contact me.
Picture a must! Let's not get emotional -- to get disappointed.
If you are offended by what I said in my bio then you need to ask yourself: Was it the words that offended you -- or the rejection!
P.S. #1 Most women believe in the saying: People enter your life for a season, reason or lifetime! IF YOU ARE NOT THINKING LIFETIME -- DO NOT E-MAIL ME!
P.S. #2. In the attached photo, the gear I'm wearing is when I arrived to work from Ground Zero as a Rescue Worker the 1st 6 days. Since everyone is asking about my experience there -- here is one of the news articles that were printed in three New York papers.
Volunteering at Ground Zero: I Was There
After hearing the news of the attack on our beloved Twin Towers and being evacuated from UNICEF's office on Third Avenue, I immediately volunteered my services at Ground Zero. Having both medical and construction experience, I helped set up a temporary triage unit and assisted in search and recovery efforts for the next six days. The sight of so many mangled bodies and body part was a horrendous experience that will be embedded in my memory for as long as I live.
So many people came from all over to help. There was a Canadian who drove eight hours to the site and assisted me in a search and rescue within the highly unstable Financial Center, a building that once housed Lehman Brothers and American Express. Another man drove from Washington, D.C. and slept in his car for three days. We worked together to free the body of a victim from the rubble. People came from as far as Japan and Italy to show their support, which was very touching in a moment of great sorrow.
The volunteers who assisted were nurses, doctors, psychologists, masseuses (yes, people giving massages to the tired and battered), people serving food and especially the construction workers. If not for the last, recovery would have been impossible. Everyone worked on despite the horrors of what we saw and the dangers to our own lives, from unstable buildings to the cancer-causing asbestos floating in the air. As we overturned rubble, the dust went into our mouths (despite our face masks), our eyes and our food, and covered our clothes.
Later the night mares came. The shock of a once beautiful place the is now a gigantic crater and mass of burning rubble is one thing to try to comprehend, but to have the body parts of missing persons asking you to find the rest of them is traumatic.
It was great that so many people helped in the midst of our crisis, although unfortunately much more attention has been focused on the city workers than on the volunteers, who came forward at the most crucial time. As the Federal Government stepped in and took over, the rescue became a military operation. Volunteers started feeling more frustrated with security checkpoints and were treated by the National Guard as insignificant or even turned away from the site despite their hard work.
So please, if you ever meet a rescue worker from the World Trade Center, who sacrificed his or her peace of mind, be sure to say, Thank you.
Andrew is a temporary Administrative Assistant in the Division of Human Resources at UNICEF New York.
