Not to fight at all is to choose a weapon by which one fights. Perhaps the authentic stature of a man is determined by his choice of weapons which he uses in his fight against the adversary. Of all weapons, love is the most deadly and devastating, and few there be who dare trust their fate in its hands.

Ok now that you know a little bit about how I think, let me tell you a little bit about me. (just a lil bit tho...cuz u gotta get to know me to know the rest. just ask...i`ll tell you) Most people would describe me as cool person to be around....definitely if youre talkin about keepin it real. I don`t do drama so if you got some issues that you think may interrupt the flow of a good friendship then i wont be able to kick it with ya. I`m very laid back and love to kick it when I`m in the mood. i`m usually down for whatever....so it doesnt matter what i do, as long as i am having fun. Im currently single right now, no children, and professionally employed but hopefully you can change the single part of it...and the children part? uh...well we might have to talk about that one. LOL!! So holla at me if Ill tell you a lil bit about me. Most people would describe me as a really good friend, and good person youre ready...

Men, women, and apples.
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don`t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren`t as good, but easy...
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come- the one who`s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
The Black Prayer
(This is deep, so take your time.)
Did You Make Me Black Lord?
Lord ... Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone the world would hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes, of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of darkness, of tired beaten streets...
Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone who
receives the hatedstare?
Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of darkness; black is the color of dirt...
Why is my bone structure so thick, my hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown, and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think Im useless? How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused?
Lord, I just dont understand...
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want tohate me and not know the person within?
Black is what people are "Labeled" when others want to keep them away...
Black is the color of shadows cast...
Black is the end of the day...
Lord you know my own people mistreat me, and you know this just ain`t right...
They dont like my hair, they dont like my skin, as they say I m too dark or too light!
Lord, don`t youthink it`s time to make a change?
Why dont you redo creation and make everyone the same?
Gods Reply:
Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black?
I made you in the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed...
I made you in the color of oil, the black gold which keeps people warm...
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil that grows the food you need...
Your color is the same as the black stallion and panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation...
When all these colors are blended, you become my greatest creation!
Your hair is the texture of lambs wool, such a beautiful creature is he...
I am the shepherd who watches them, I will ALWAYS watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnight sky, I put star glitter in youreyes...
Theres a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...
Thats why your cheeks are so high!
You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes I create in September...
I made your lips so full and thick, so when you kiss...they will remember!
Yourstature is strong, your bone structure thick to withstand the burden of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror, that image that looks back, that is MINE!
So get off your knees, look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didnt make you in the image of darkness...
I made you in the image of ME!
"Author Unknown"
*Don`t fall in love*
Have you ever fallen in love?
Have you ever felt like crying
But knew you`d get no where?
Have you ever watched them walk away? No wanting them to go?
And whispered "I love you" softly...
Not wanting them to know?
You cried all nite in a misery,
And almost went insane.
There`s nothing in this world
That causes so much pain.
If i could choose between love and death, I think i`d rather die.
Love is fun, but it hurts too much
And the price you pay is high.
So i say, dont fall in love.
You`ll be hurt before it`s through.
You see my friend, i ought to know.
I fell in love with you.
