30 minutes being in love

Lupe once said relationships are only 30 minutes long.
So the first minute would be the moment we met,
at the fifth minute we had our first kiss.
By the 10th we become a pair.
By the 15th minute u believed in me,
and I had nothing but love for you,
30 seconds later I was willing to give every kind of love possible,
u know that kind of love where u text in the middle of the day to say hey,
the kind of love where u can't help but smile when ur name is mention,
that kind of love where u have a long day and I massage ur feet,
that kind of love where u stay on the phone all night;
and u have a friendly argument abt who hangs up first.
But when we got to the 20th minute I was expecting some good loving,
but it only took a second to realize that wasn't going to happen.
So by the 25th minute I was some y did I get married stuff,
I throw away my 80 to get 20.
By the 28th minute u was in tears,
at 29 minutes it was over,
at 29 minutes and 45 seconds I left u with a broken heart.
Damn, Wale once said Love is the slowest form of suicide,
at the 30th minute a part of u died.

November 3rd 2008

History is a step away from today, and I had the ultimate blessing on the eve of elections, at 10:30 A.M. this morning I reiceve an invite from my collegue/SGA president to join in on this conference call. As soon as I entered the call, Mr. Sean P. Diddy Combs was already talking, explaining how him and the hip-hop community has been moves to back Mr. Obama, what states they made moves to, and just how they are grinding, next..... He came to the phone, thats right Barack Obama!! he started off by apoloizing for his tardiness, then talk about how much history could be made, the struggles the will be face to make history, and how he plans to follow through with his plateform. It was amazing, I teared up. Wow. Then to follow up that Oprah talk next, she took as back when she first interview Obama, and how she ask is he the "the one" and he simply replied back, he is one of many. Then she said no should go to the polls alone, this should really be a family affair. But she told us, We should all do or part! So, November 4th, what will happen? I was bless to hear three great people speak on what can be history, and everytime I think about it, I get happy and emotional. But all I can do is Hope!!!!!!!

Long Way To Go

I write this for three people....................


Listen young brother
Right now your in one the toughest situation
You have ever faced in life
Your at a point were you question yourself
You probably feel like though you have prevailed in each battle
That your soul is being diminished in the war
And at now your at the point of quitting
You feel like there is no reason to fight
But you quitting doesn't just hinder you
But everyone that looks to for inspiration
You may think this is the last chapter
But there is so many more after
When you think you got it bad think about
Pursuit of Happyness and Daddy girls!
Keep your head up and continue to move forward because
You have a long way to go.

Listen self
I have something to talk about
We have been heartless for so long
That us being heartless have created
A element of fear
We worry of the risk to put ourselves back out there
We take risks with everything else
Except "Finding Forever"
We hide our feelings with our words
But if someone looked in our eyes
They would see how we picture
Many possibilities
But your haunted by what love has done too
That you can't put your lips together and say like
Forever my be close by
But it seems so far away
Eventually you will make it to that point
But right now
You have a long way to go

This last will remain nameless
6 to 7 months ago kicked off
The adventure of discovery of
Character, personality, and
Simple who you are and I am
And influence on my thoughts
My mind state has grown like
My dreams are volcano's
Erupting into ideas
But this adventure
Has lead to unknown
Our compass of pride
Can't direct you or I on my next move
And there is no moss on the trees to
Show which way is north
So, we are force to wait
Until its dark and see the north star
But will finding the north star end
This journey
Or is it still
A long way to go?

The Battle!!!!!

Ok, most of my friends know about this poet battle/friendly competition i was doing over the summer and into the school year for a little bit. So me and this young lady decided to take turns picking topics and see who could write the hottest poem. Man, it was a lot of fun and help me become even more creative, also force me to think way outside my box. The topics were such a wide variety but eventually, trash talking got intense and there had to be a winner with this ongoing battle. So we went into like a poet championship series, two topics and four spectators as judges, so the first one she won, and so I had to come back hard but when I thought I went all out, she went further. So, I came face to face with defeat but I learned a lot, through the timeline of that battle. It gave me some insight who this person is, how I need to expand with my skills in writing, and it made me gain so much respect and admiration for they way this person lifestyle is. For once I'm glad I did lose in some aspects but I won in so many more ways. By the way we did make a bet, and I will hold up to my end, when I get my life together!!!!!

The Growth

Those that know me very well or from a distance can honestly say they have seen me real grow up lately, upon entering this school year, I did a self evaluation on things I want to improve on and most of those things were social improvements. I still need some work but I have came along way, I don't say smart ass comments as much and have a better choice of words for situations now, I admit I still joke around a lot, but I have never been a dry person so, I don't think that will change much but people are finally seeing there is a lot to me then what I lead people on about me. They also recognize the potential that I have, and recognize it's time for to apply myself more than ever, that's why I have cut certain things off that can be a potential distraction. I have also made the decision to be celibate for a while. I was once challenge last year that if I didn't pursue the opposite sex for a year, I would be more productive, at first I thought what's life without sex? I'm a college man, that would be foolishness, but I do see how affective I am without it. I'm also trying to be more forgiving and honest. But like a plant, I will continue to weather the storm of life, and grow from the light of knowledge. For those around me, you are now witnessing the growth!

Circle Of Trust

For along time I tried to delay reality, I ignored all the signs, because I didn't want to accept the truth, that is I have a large circle I call friends, but for some why? Better yet what is a true friend? They are the ones that are always honest with you, they look out for you, and they respect you. I remember one time I was suppose to ride home with a friend back home at the end of the semester after my final exam, well barely 16 hours before departure I get a call saying there is no space because, he packed everything in the car, and if I rode I would have to have a t.v. in my lap for 5 hours, and I could pack a back pack of my stuff, all this Knowing I was coming back in a week with a truck, and it was urgent I went home that day, I had no food, no money, and a drop of tooth paste. So, I took a train that was scheduled during my final, that hurt my grade, and when I explain this to my friends, everyone said that's how he is, what do you expect? Right then I ignored the fact we expect this person to leave us hanging, in a time of need. Really? But why? Why would you keep someone of that nature around you? Well, as time went by I excepted this time and time again, I can't except it anymore, along with friends that have I known for years, that are just dead weight and do nothing! So, this is to address everything. No, I'm not mad or in my feelings. I'm just being smart and real. they say, "In Life we were born to fly, That's why I travel light".
