We Found Love?

"Love can be found like pennies on the ground... that shit isn't love."

     Some of us would like to think that we have found love in a hopeless place but your odds in finding love in a hopeless place is like finding an $80.00 bill in the middle of Target®. If that's the case then I found love in a back of a subway car... I didn't know their name, but we fucked... and I LOVED it.

     When it comes to love people take it to new extremes. Some think that this idea of love is something that is supposed to be cookie cutter perfect, complete with a white picket fence and a few children. Some think that love consist of random moments of drama and make up sex. While love to me cannot be defined by words, but I do feel that love is some type of deep complex feeling/emotional bond with another.

     The media doesn't necessarily give good examples of what love is (i.e. Chris Brown & Rihanna or even Bey & Jay). I always say what's normal for me isn't always considered normal to others. So whatever works for you may be best... for you. If you ask Michelle how she found Barack or even how Oprah found Gayle, I'm pretty sure they won't say they found their love in a hopeless place... Now Bobby and Whitney, that's a different story. LOL ;-)

 

P.S. I love We Found Love in a Hopeless Place... and the video is hot.

Drinks anyone???

     It's Fall and love is in the air and drinks are everywhere. And me... well I'm just having a good time. During one of my outings something caught my attention while sitting at the bar with friends. I was looking at my glass and wondering if it was half full or half empty. People always have their theory on whether their glass is half full or half empty. Well... I never got the point of that shit. I would like to think my glass has always been have full. It's always better to have a little something than to claim little or next to nothing. That's just my philosophy on it.

     Recently my glass has run over with many different opportunities and decisions which to me is a good thing. I like to stay busy and keep things fresh. You don't go to a bar and order the same drink every time do you? Needless to say, I definitely have my work cut out for me in the near future. I hope everyone is enjoying life and keeping their glasses full. Life is a celebration, and everyday I awake to see a new day; I'm gonna party.

Fall... in Love?

     Well here we are, October has come thru with a vengeance! We have had a chilly weekend here in the DMV complete with hoodies, jackets, coats, knitwear and lots of layering. Needless to say I was out in the mess enjoying every bit of it. I honestly couldn't wait for the Fall weather so I could dress warm and get cozy on those chilly nights. Football anyone?

     Fall is that time of year for comfort food, chunky sweaters, and boo loving. That's correct, "boo loving".

I know many of folk who are looking for a "boo" to keep them warm during these cooler months...and I don't blame them. It's nice to have someone to cuddle up with after a long day of being out in the elements. As Bill Withers would say "we all need somebody to lean on". Well, just don't lean on ME lol. In all seriousness it's is so easy to fall in love during the Fall.

     Fall is when mother nature shows off her beauty. Trees shed their once green leafs in exchange for shades of orange and hues of brown leaves that dance gracefully in the wind. People literally seem to come out of the woodwork after the summer is long gone and the muscle shirts and short shorts are put away. There are many potential boyfriends, girlfriends and lovers who are single and looking for something to hold onto. Some are happy being single and a good book and a hot drink will get them through those cold nights. But if you're like me and have been single for a while then this is the opportunity to get to know someone "special".

     Some of us are looking for temporary companionship and some are looking for the long term. But whatever you are looking for, just make sure it's worth the fall.

P.S. It's breast cancer awareness month. Oh, and GO RAVENS!!!

Who Am I ????

     This blog should be called WHO I AM because as of late everyone seems to have these preconceived notions about who I happen to be. I use to say "I am whatever you think I am" because I simply didn't care about what others thought; now I'm putting it all out there. There are people who believe that I'm just another gay guy who is supposed to be flamboyant and worships Beyonce. I couldn't be further from that stereotype. I actually worship Rihanna. LOL, just kidding. I'm more than my sexual orientation. I'm a man that just happens to be attracted to other men and gorgeous women.

      There are people who say that I scream SEX. Maybe it is because of my Scorpio horoscope. I don't know; I don't try to be sexy. I asked some of my close friends and they just said I give off a vibe and one said that it was all in my eyes. #KanyeShrug. Being sexy is not a bad thing I guess. You guys haven't seen me 1st thing in the morning. Some people think I'm self absorbed when I just really have a healthy amount of confidence and self-esteem but who wants to be a Debbie Downer?

     I hate when people say that I'm trying to be something. As if everyday is Halloween and I'm just playing dress up. I don't like the term "trying"... I'm not trying to be anything. There's no adjective that can describe me. A lot a things that people assume about me are just that...assumptions. I don't dare to be different. I just am.

I love who I am. I own who I am. My body and my soul are the only things that truly belong to me in this life. No one and or no thing could take myself away from me. Who I am today will be who I am tomorrow... just another day wiser. ;-)

Under Construction...

     As you all probably know, I'm single. That's definitely something to be happy about and enjoy; especially when you're young. I have come across many different people and personalities in life so far and I'm discovering more and more about myself and the ways of others. I love all people. Even the annoying, self righteous and the repugnant ones. They all can get a hug and a smile because that's just the kind of person I am.

     The funny thing is I'm writing this entry because on my way to work everyday I ride past the workplace of my ex. And every time I ride past there is always construction taking place. Building something better and working on what needs to be fixed: under construction.

     I have taken the time out from the social scene for a while just to do some self reflection. I call it being on a "people diet". It makes sense and I recommend everyone to try it. I'm the most personable, social butterfly I know and I still need that time off to give back to myself. So if I don't reply to txt messages promptly, get on social media websites often or even answer the phone. I will get back to you soon. Just like the recording says "leave a message after the beep, ttyl".
