ONLY THE WELL-READ, EDUCATED BROTHERS AND SISTAS SHOULD BE HERE! If you don`t enjoy flexing your mental muscles everyday, then we have absolutely nothing in common. I`m looking for people who wish to GO BEYOND the bounderies of everything they THINK they know.

INTERESTS? ASPIRATIONS? I am a songwriter, singer, children`s storybook author, and so much more. Currently I am working hard with a friend (whose brother `WeeGee` was a founding member of the Dramatics) on securing a music publishing deal within the next year. I have a lot of faith, because I am VERY good at what I do. Gotta believe in yourself, y`know?


PHYSICALS: I fit the perfect stereotyped image of a PRETTYBOY. Understand, I don`t call myself that. It`s just a silly nickname I`ve had since highschool. Yeah, yeah, the light-skin, the curly hair, the deep eyes...lol! I`m a healthy 5`8" tall, and a solid 150 lbs, and gaining. Not too bad considering just 3 months ago I weighed 124 lbs (stress and loss will do that to you!) I`m an ex-smoker, and eating organically, no red meat, and little chicken. And I feel good! Physically, mentally, spiritually, my presence pervades everything around me, and illuminates everything I touch.


I finally placed a few simple pics on my page, and there are a few reasons why I had reservations about the whole thing: First, I would like my mind to be known. Second, there is a certain element of female I do NOT want to attract: hotgirlz? chickenheads? ghettofabulous? Do your thang, ladies, but damn! You think that culture is cute. Let me tell you: IT ISN`T. If your a-s and tits are hanging out, you gets NO RESPECT AT ALL. Understand that.

MUSIC I`M FEELING: Michael Jackson`s "OFF THE WALL". This man is my idol. I know he`s a litte wacko now, but his treasury of material is unsurpassed. I also love Old School R&B, Jazz, and more ecclectic forms of music. Sadly, comercialization has destroyed the quality of the music industry. Old-School Hip-Hop is one style that moves me the most, as well as newer cats like The Roots, Black Eyes Peas, Musiq, Jill Scott, Amel Larrieux (sp?)...the conscious artists.


ABSOLUTELY NO LOVE TO THE THUGS AND THAT ENTIRE MENTALITY!!!. Brothers, stop rehashing and playing out those same, tired a-s scripts you learned from television and gansta music. You`re not even using your brains. Just trying to walk around looking `hard` all the time, when in reality you`re really so damn SENSITIVE you wear a shell designed to invoke fear in others. Stop the hate. Ya`ll are f-cking up the minds of our children AND OUR PEOPLE. Grow up and stop being ghetto slaves. Grab a book instead of the latest gansta CD you plan on buying...damn.

And what in the hell is wrong with some of you? Talk about poor themes! lol Must a `real` man wrap his belt around his thighs to hold up oversize jeans, wear a wife beater, white tee and a jersey, be a baller, smoke blunts, down cognac at every opportunity, have a foul mouth, sell you crazy dreams to string you along, have a bunch of hoes, be a player, insist he`s a producer/photographer/artist (though he hasn`t had any success) to get your attention, sit on 24`s, be a regular at the spot, and/or sport sneakers and braids to make it in your world? Is that you`re ideal? If so, there is nothing wrong with that. But, generally, an ego-maniac will never put you first. Then you complain that there are no available MEN out there who want to love you for you. Honest men seem unappealing to women these days. I guess that`s why nice guys DO finish last. I hope you find the happiness you seek. I really do. Just keep in mind that we are waiting for you, not the other way around.


TRAITS I ADMIRE IN A WOMAN: She has to know who she is, and what she stands for. Sounds obvious, but so many of you simply don`t get it! Carry yourself as if you command respect, and you will receive it.

If you`re flirting with one man and telling another man your sh-t belongs to him, you`re getting macked and/or you`re a ho. Period. Men approach you the way they do for a reason, Queens! And men treat you the way they do for a reason: BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN! And you are DIRECTLY responsible for allowing such things (Really, you are!) The woman chooses the man. If you think about it, that`s the way it`s always been. I don`t care how many brothers imagine that they are Don Juan. Start making better choices, ladies, and you`ll be better off in the end. You are so much more powerful than you realize. IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. But looks aren`t the quality that will keep me.


I need to feel your mentality. Do you love the Earth? Nature? Do you love to love? Are you sexy? Are you fine? Because I am, and I demand the same. Understand: even if you think I`m not, you have to realize that in my world, `fine-ness` isn`t a LOOK. It`s an ATTITUDE. I know it sounds crass, but you know d-mn well you will diss an `unattractive` brother in a New York minute! I personally don`t care for the Halle Berry`s of the world, but if you are fine inside, it WILL manifest on the outer.


Some of the prettiest people are ugly due to attitude. Harvard researchers have verified that: MOST CRIMINALS ARE UGLY PEOPLE, which they suggest is due to the corruption in their hearts. They are really mad because they are ugly. Beauty is something they hate to gaze upon, so they act to destroy it. Call it Fine Racism. Goddess, it`s like a man calling you a b-tch because you won`t holler at him. He wanted your fine a-s a second ago, though, didn`t he?


*****CONSCIOUS SECTION******

(Only the MENTAL will understand. Prepare to be enlightened...)


REALITY CHECK: EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IMPRISONS YOU. There is more to the universe than is even DREAMT about in your philosophy, WHATEVER IT IS. Note this! The point becomes the line, the line becomes the circle, the circle becomes the sphere, or globe. Does your reality-tunnel take the point and imagine knowing the whole sphere? I bet that you DO most of the time. You would evolve immensely if you tried to think just a wee-bit outside of your own box.


The problem with `Religion`:

1) RELIGION DIVIDES PEOPLE. This is what the word `religion` means: "Re" (back) + :Ligare" (to bind) What`s being bound, you ask? Souls are being bound by DOGMA and RITUAL. Few true saints would have anything to do with organized religion, because they are sectarian in principle, but God never divides, as HE IS ALL.


2) The ignorant religious person believes his/her recognition of the truth is always right and that everybody else is wrong. This is a lie. The world will NEVER have peace because of this one thing. Religious zealots need to stop thinking that the other 6+ BILLION people in the world couldn`t POSSIBLY have it right! God has many faces, and many appearances, as varied as the snowflakes in His/Her Creation.


3) THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU, NOT UP IN THE SKY SOMEWHERE!!

4) The whole `fear of the Lord` mess. All Scriptures stress that God is Love...that Love is the total ABSENCE of fear. `Love` and `fear` are utterly contradictory terms. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FEAR SOMETHING YOU LOVE. IT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE SOMETHING THAT YOU FEAR.

5) Most followers are kept in check by some preacher, rabbi, guru, or otherwise religious leader SCARING them into believing mere INTERPRETATION. Keeps them in line. Some are taught that they were a sinner BEFORE THEY WERE BORN, THAT THEY ARE NOW, AND WILL ALWAYS BE. What a nice `god` to worship! No wonder all they do is cry and belittle themselves! They`re esteem has been taken away.

"THERE ARE NO FACTS, ONLY INTERPRETATIONS"

-- Neitzsche


MESSAGE? Believe your `truth`, but don`t ever bedevil another who does not agree with you. It`s a VERY foolish thing to do.


THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW:


"NEVER say you are a sinner! YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD!!"

--Paramhansa Yogananda
(please research this
beautiful man of God.)


"I HAVE SAID, YE ARE GODS..."
---JesusChrist
(Psalms 82:6)


"IS IT NOT WRITTEN in YOUR law, I said YE are GODS?"
---Jesus Christ,
(responding to the Jews charge of blasphemy FOR CALLING HIMSELF GOD. A note to the Christian who denounces the fact that all who KNOW the Christ, BECOME GOD! Not simply believes, but knows.)


"Knowest ye not that ye are Gods?"
---NEW TESTAMENT


Stop participating in the herd mentality because you want someone to follow, to show you the way. You ARE the way. It lies within. And let go of the childish "My God is bigger than your God!" arguments. God is in the midst of ALL things, and different cultures call the ONE GOD by different names. (The word `cup` is different in English and Spanish isn`t it?) Show me two people arguing over religious doctrine and I`ll show you what fools those two are. REAL TRUTH NEEDS NO DEFENDING. If you find yourself defending your faith to others, then your `faith` is groundless.


Listen to me, never allow another to enslave your mind by believing them blindly. You, my male friend, are a GOD. And You, my female friend, are a GODDESS. A drop of the One Creator. If you take a drop of water from the Atlantic, it still contains every essence of that body, even if you carry it across the world. A PART IS NEVER DIVIDED FROM THE WHOLE. Never forget that.

"Know Thyself!"

MUCH LOVE TO MY TWIN!! HOLD PHOENIX DOWN FOR ME UNTIL I VISIT, OK?
