Blog 7: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It

Hey Yall!! As usual, I appreciate the feedback I've been getting from my previous blogs. Your insight and understanding of my writings drive me to find more stuff in my world to write about. Some of you have been commenting on my grammatical errors so I figure I'd address that issue. Just to let you all know, I try to use decent punctuation, but I'm not worried about the grammar. My sole purpose of my blogs are to write as if I'm speaking directly towards you in a laid back casual atmosphere. I realize it is hard for some of you overly analytical folks to understand, but who cares...It's my world! So Sit Back and enjoy! :D

At first I was planning on writing a Thank You Blog Highlighting all the folks that has "Hyped" me in my life or driven me to push harder because they were "Hatin" on my skills. However, After my last blog I've had many conversations on this next topic that could not be ignored any longer! So If I've had conversations with you on this topic, realize I'm not singling you out because you are not the only one that shared your views.

So without further adu(yes I know adieu. LOL)....Today's Blog topic is....MARRIAGE!

Now Let me start off first and say I am a firm Proponent of Marriage! After all I am the seed of a Marriage that has lasted 39 year this coming January 10th. My parents union has given me the benchmark for which my relationships exist today! However for all that is good, there is always a bad...the what if...the how bout if this happens! One thing about my parents is that from what I could tell, they never held much back! I mean I'm sure there was more to it then what I'm aware of but like the Poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes...Life has been no crystal stair(I know because I'm the person that they talk to about their issues with one another)! But at the end of the day...after 39 years, they are still together.

So with that being said I wanted to talk about what I see in My World, and how I feel about marriage. I'll start by saying this...Just like College, Marriage isn't for everyone! Though I'm Not Married and have never been close to being married, I don't feel that everyone should be joined in a union. It's My Opinion so don't judge me! Many women out there are so engulfed with the thought of walking down that Isle that they fail to realize that the guy they are laying down with probably isn't trying to marry you, or they are just NOT the best person for you. But you want to be married sooo bad that you do anything and everything to get to that point.
Men! Some of ya'll stick with chicks because your girl is a stone cold freak and her "Becky" is out of this world! You look past the fact that she hits the club with her friends every weekend partying till 3-4am even though the club closes at 2. Now there's nothing wrong with hittin the club, but every weekend? Really? You are just a jump-off with a title huh?

The point I'm getting at on this topic of Marriage is that if marriage is what you are looking for, are you making yourself a desirable product?! And are you at the state in your life where you yourself are good Marriage Potential(Don't Lie)? Most of us aren't! What perception do folks have of you? What Perception do you have of yourself? Have you talked to your partner about the "What if's." What happens if we are Not together? What happens if we have kids? What happens if you cheat on me?...You get my drift! I'm a firm believer that in any type of relationship, it is just as important to talk about the bad as it is to talk about the good. The fact is there are no Guarantees in life and just like Hurricane Katrina...your life can be turned upside down at the blink of an eye! And there you sit lonely and heartbroken because you never thought it would happen to you!

I'll sum everything up by adding some stats for my analytical folks out there because as we have been well versed on, "Men Lie, Women Lie, but Numbers don't Lie!" Commitments and Confirmations before GOD are broken on a rapid pace! Have you discussed your requirements? My guess is Not!!

So as Usual, Hype it or Hate it...Really doesn't matter because it's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It.

Blog 6: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It

Man! My plan was to slowly publish my blogs but there has been soo much on my mind that I had to publish a few to get them off my mind! It seems that my mind won't clear until I put it out for ya'll to view no matter if you actually read it or not!!
I am still amazed by some of Ya'll! I mean what kind of person did you think I was? I never assumed you didn't have complexities to your personality! We all know what Assume does and I think most of you look like Asses in my eyes...ok enough of that! Thanks to those that knew there was more behind the man! I appreciate it! Stereotypes of a Black Man Misunderstood I tell ya!

Life is an interesting event! I mean we all have our ups and downs, good and bad, right or wrong...It's constant struggle. That's why today I chose to talk about Happiness, Or the Pursuit There of!!

Happiness is something that in my eyes cannot be defined because it is different for different people and it can change daily, hourly, and for some of ya'll, by the minute. For me true Happiness is misunderstood!(Like everything else in my life from what I've seen since i've started writing this Blog). A lot of folks think money is what trully makes me happy in life! What I say to those people....YA'LL don't know SHIT! Money is a material thing and can never bring me happines...the freedom that money gives me brings me happiness though! So for all you folks out there working from 6am to 10pm trying to save the world pay attention and ask yourself are you happy?

This topic came to me this weekend and today actually as I was talking to my mom who was not in a happy state of mind. Now for ya'll that don't know, My Mother is numero Uno in my world and Just like in Steve Harvey's book, I would do anything to make her feel happy. In this instance, Listening was the best remedy! Basically it made her happy! Now we have all experienced this emotion whether it came from another person that brought it to us or we brought it to ourselves when we wake up and look in the mirror. Are you happy? I know I am!

So what makes me happy? Many things and a lot of simple pleasures actually. Happiness ranges from the previous stated Freedom to choose what I want to do in my life to conversation with interesting folks. I actually crave conversation because not only is it how I get information for my blogs, but it allows me to understand the dynamics of different people. Sort of like a reading a different book multiple times every day! Oh the Joy! People are interesting to me because each of us are raised differently, even if we were raised in the same household! Just different! Music makes me happy as well. It's the spoken word of the soul! Music puts you in the Happiess moods or sooths you when you are sad! It makes me happy. I believe that I too am a bluesman, not sanitized, not deodorized but funky! I have my own style and voice that express my quest for truth, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Many of us thought we were happy only to have it all taken away or suffocated(new word basically meaning dead, done, over, get over it). The fact is just how art imitates life...We fall down, but we get up! I say until you find happiness in your self, no one person can bring it to you! Filter those people Wisely! Just like the Ozone layer to the earth is there to filter out the garbage in the world, You may want to surround yourself with Positive folks to keep the Garbage out of your world!

I'll leave ya'll with a verse in a song that still gives me chills when I hear it. Happy Feelins! So from deep in my SOUL I Bid Ya'll Happy Feelings in the Air, Touching People Everywhere, Plenty of Love and everything...Listen to the People Sing!!"!! If someone makes you happy, tell them because this world we live in isn't guaranteed...NOTHING IS!! And if you are not happy with yourself...Seek it. I think I've been moving at a pace with only ME on my mind...and I don't want my life to be just about me anymore!

As always Hype what I said if you like it, Hate on it if you love it...but In the end remember..."It's My World...Ya'll Just Live in it!

Blog 5: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It

Truth and Anger! This Topic is so profound to me that I had to place it in the First Sentence! These are 2 of the most transparent emotions in my life! Anyone that knows me knows that I can somewhat function on those two barberic rules! However, before you jump to conclusion on what you feel the meaning of those two words mean, let me explain why they should be equally important to you!

I'll Start by Disecting the Truth, then Anger and then tie them together! OK...the "Truth"!! Now we all know that It will Set you FREE, so why is it that folks want to keep us shackled like a slave? And for all those out there, Ommission, is a LIE as well! If you know withholding information would possibly affect your relationship whether business or personal with someone...YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH! I realize that the truth at times can be a struggle to get out, but in the end It will benefit both you and whomever you are dealing with. In Sales we have a saying..."Buyers are Liars and people are too." What does that really mean? It means that many people think sales people are lying all the time when the fact is the customer I am pretty certain aren't telling the whole truth as well! Some Call it Negotiations! We want what we want that is best for us in Our World! In essence, we are all LIARS...or to take it to the Bible...We are all Sinners in the eyes of the Lord! I'm sure I've ruffled some feathers with those comments but prove that I'm wrong...I'll Listen.

NOW...Lets talk about ANGER!! I must admit that Anger is an emotion that at times has given me the drive and determination to do anything. Hell, I bought my House in 17 days off of anger, I started playing football off of anger, and to be honest anger causes action both good and bad!! So lets Disect it just a bit! I don't think it's neccessary for me to go into a definition of the word because Anger looks different in everyone! In some, this word is just a flash of rage that soon passes, in others It can cause them to a complete Rage where that Anger Fuels to HATE...which is never a good thing! As I'm writing I had just finished watching the Today Show. They discussed a guy whose wife staged her own kidnapping and arranged to have her husband Murdered for money. I'd say the Husband has every right to be ANGRY!! She failed to Notify him(Omission). Get it. As I was watching this travesty unfold, I also saw a movie trailer for a movie called "Brothers." It's the movie where the Soldier goes off to war and they thought he's dead, but He's not! Then he comes home only to find out that his wife is Sleeping with his Brother! EW!! Now You can't say much about her moving on when she thought he was dead, but uuughhmmm...HIS BROTHER!!...EW...I think he has a right to be mad! And it looks like eventually his Rage Turned into HATE! I may Check the DVD out though!

OK Lets Tie it all together! THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE! Many times if someone had told the truth from the start it would not of caused any hard feelings or Anger! Well at least very short term anger! Lying to someones face or withholding information just causes animosity towards that person! As much as it hurts or may hurt, the Truth is what we look for in Personal and Business Relationships! Without it we are lost trying to disect why this person acts this way or did this or wondering the astounding WHY as you sit in dismay!

So with that being said...be open, be honest...and Most of all TELL THE TRUTH...Set someone FREE TODAY!

Oh and I almost forgot....If you like what I'm saying, Hype it! If you don't...Hate it! Doesn't really matter though because "It's My World....Ya'll Just Live In It.

Blog 4: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It

HAAAAA...so I hope by now all of you have sobered up and made it back to your professional mental states after another Great Homecoming season! I know I had a blast and I'm sure I'll be back at it next year! So over the last few weeks of my writing I've gotten an astounding response to what I've been doing. I am trying to find a good blog website to transfer my thoughts on so if anyone knows of a good site let me know!

I have also gotten many folks tell me they had no Idea that I wrote or even had feelings!!(Bastards...but that's what friends are for right)!! Well to let folks know a little about myself, I used to write poetry as a kid and also used to recite poetry in Various competitions! Ahhhh, I remember myself as a 10 year old lad standing in front of a packed Auditorium reciting "The Road Not Taken," by Robert Frost! I chose that poem for it's Meaning! Who knew it would have so much meaning for my entire life from then forward...Hear...I'll share with you!


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This Poem has shaped my life from the moment I read it and as I stood before a crowd of my peers and took Second Place....I knew that Second would never be good enough! Everyone in my class thought I should of won but that was only the begining.
THis blog today is different from my usual writings as I am allowing entry into my brain! So basically I'm sitting myself down in front of you and poping the top off for you to peak inside! For the past couple weeks I've had inner turmoil that has caused me to experience a Metamorphosis...Or Maybe a REBIRTH!! Yeah I like that a REBIRTH of COOL if you will!

This Realization came forth as I was sitting through a speech with the Dr.Cornel West at NC State University. That night my life I feel changed. My creative expressions and thoughts raced in my head like Bees in the Chinese Bee Tourture!(It's when you were tortured by having killer bees poured over your head that was enclosed in a contraption...yeah I know sounds like a scene out of a Saw Movie). Either way these blogs represent each Bee plucked out of my head attempting to release myself from the struggles! Because as Dr.West said, I too am a bluesman and through struggle we grow in life.

So true to form I end this Blog with a Question. What struggles in life have you overcome? What different road or path did you take that made all the difference. I'd like to know!

And Last but not least, If Hype it or hate it, It really doesn't matter because "It's My World....Ya'll Just Live In It."

Blog 3: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It

WOOOOW is all I can say! Ya'll really showed me Love with the last Blog(No Pun Intended). NOW I don't know if I'll be able to get as much interest in future topics as I did with the love blog, but Hey...Remember "It's My World" right!! What I will promise you is that I will strive to be insightfully witty and top it off with a sense of humor! A lot of you have been emailing me or telling me I should talk about this topic or that topic and I appreciate it! However, you have to realize that I write on MY experiences of Past, Present, and Future. With that being said, If anyone brings up a topic and I have experienced it or may in the future...Let me know and I may allow it into "MY WORLD." Now I must fess up and admit that I am writing this blog topic a week earlier than when I plan on publishing it because the thoughts were racing in my mind so much that I had to start writing!

So with out further adu...the blog topic for this week is H-O-M-E-C-O-M-I-N-G! It's HOMECOMING YA'LL!! Or Was Rather!

This is the Time of year where EVERYONE lets loose! Even if you didn't go to College, you are at someone's "Official" Homecoming party, or stepshow, or just chillin on
You see Homecoming time is where reality resembles ART!! I'll tell you how! Homecoming is where you may use Music titles as your motivation like Pretty Ricky's "We Gon Get Tipsy," or maybe you are a professional like Gucci and your motto is "Wasted,"(One of my Favorites!)...Party Party Party lets all get WAYSTED!! HAAA! Homecoming Ya'll...aaahhhh Yes...It's Homecoming! This is the time where the most popular person in your school is a chick named BECKY! A few of ya'll get my reference!Those of you that don't...ask the ones that do! HAA...It's Homecoming Ya'll. H-O-M-E-C-O-M-I-N-G!!
So hear we have it everyone! Homecoming! What do you guys love about Homecoming? I know I used to hit everyone's homecoming each year! If there was a hype party, I was paying my money to go or finding the Hook up to be there! I mean really, we are all related somehow! I would crash a Homecoming like Tupac and Ms.Jackson crashed that cookout in Poetic Justice!! HOMECOMING It's Homecoming Ya'll!

Ok Folks this is where I end my blog, so if you would, share some of your favorite Homecoming memories, or let me know why you Love Homecoming!

And as always, If you Hype what I'm saying...let me know...If you Hatin on what I'm saying...Let me know. Either way it doesn't really matter because "It's My World....Ya'll Just Live In It!

NOW GO ON AND GET WAYSTED!!

Blog 2: It's My World....Ya'll Just Live In It

Hey Ya'll!! Wanted to first Thank those who Hyped or Hated on my last entry! The feedback that I received was much appreciated. I Started writing to release some of the inner thoughts in my head and like I said before, it seemed as if folks really liked some of the funny comments, sayings, and quotes. No matter what you thought or felt, it seemed as if I could stir up a good fb convo to get your day going! After my last blog I took the time to listen to what folks were saying! Many folks were saying, Stacy, if you are going to blog it needs to be more juicy or have something to hook folks! I took some time to think about that comment and came up to the conclusion that yeah maybe but in the end, It's My World...Ya"ll Just Live In IT!! LOL...But no seriously...I did listen, but I can only talk about what's going on or has been experienced in MY WORLD....Hense the name of the blog!! So with that being said I took this week thinking about my experiences in the Past, Present, and Future and came up with my topic. I really struggled with this one because I am sick and tired of everyone talking about it without really knowing what it is! Hell I don't even like to say words that sounds close to the word. Oh well....*Sigh*...Without futher Adu....the topic of this blog will be...Mutha&^%#, $h!$,...LOVE.

OK I said it LOVE! That's my topic for everyone that has been asking what will be the topic!

Now we all know that I can't sit here and disect every aspect of any topic I bring up, and expecially not this weeks topic(hard to say it), but that's why It's a blog, so you get the chance to throw in your two cents or whatever your viewpoint is worth! (My world remember) In case you forgot! LOL

Gulp...Love! The first thing I wanted to do is get the definition of love! So what I did was Look at the Wikipedia definitions.You can look up what it means in other countries too! According to Wikipedia, Love is defined as: any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection[1] and attachment.
Corinthians 13 Says:
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Now what does all this mean? Depends on the person actually but I don't think I could trully go into this topic without having a background on it that doesn't come from me personally! Ya'll be judging and stuff!
In my eyes Love is a realy touchy subject because Love in the Interpersonal sense is very difficult! I mean lets look at the possible scenarios here! You can love someone and they not love you back! You can Love someone and they fall out of love with you! You can love someone and Fall out of love with them Or you can Love someone them love you back, but do something stupid to cause them to hate you! I think you guys get what I'm saying and yes there are tons of possible combinations to choose from...Kinda like "Having it your way" at Burger King! We all know there's a fine line between Love and Hate Right!!

Love for me has always been a struggle...I mean why love someone when eventually it will end or disappoint you? Hell Folks Die, Leave you, cheat on you, stab you in the back. It's a Hope that we all need in our life. An emotion, a Desire. At the end of the day we all NEED to be Loved by someone! So what is it in my world? Love is different for different people, Just like I have friends in my life that serve different purposes. I mean I love my parents but I don't want to give them the business(which means be intimate). Hell I don't even want to think about how I arrived on this earth for that matter...ew...Anyways, I think you get my point! So lets dive in to what I'm saying. Love for me takes time, sometimes a lot of time! I don't allow folks into my life to often because my Heart is similar to a Gang, in which, you get "Jumped IN", but you are there forever. There's no Leaving the gang no matter what I say or said to you! You can see how this can become an issue! (Not enough space for everyone, so I cut folks off a lot). Love is Loyalty, Respect, and Truth! And Just like a Gang, if you break those rules you break the Gang! Whether I love you as a Friend or more I give those three things to you and if I falter on one of those Three things I probably didn't really love you! Yes we all have make mistakes, but think about it! When you did a friend wrong or cheated on your significant other did you really "LOVE" them? Maybe, but not when you were making that choice to do what you did!

Either way, Love is a phrase that has tons of different meanings if you ask different people. To some its a feeling of worth, to others it's security, and to some it's a dependency! Love can be the best of things, but it also can dwarf into it's evil sister...HATE!!

So for those that read this Blog, Please comment on your thoughts about Love? A How does it make you feel.

Like always, Hype it if you like it, Hate on it if you don't....But at the end of the day...It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It. But if I haven't said It before, Those that I have allowed entry into my life for whatever reason or Capacity. I Love You.

Blog 1: It's My World...Ya'll Just Live In It!

So I'm sure when you seen the title of this note it got a few panties and underwear in a bunch! Well stop!! This phrase is something that I have said since I was a small kid after watching Scarface. I think most of you know the phrase "The world is mine." Well this is my rendition and also the begining of my Blog on Facebook!
Now I'm sure you are asking, Stacy, what will this blog consist of! Well Shut up for a moment and I'm about to tell you! In this blog I will discuss basically my world as I see it! Some of you may be able to relate to what I'm saying, and some of you will have no clue! Doesn't matter...It's my world remember! LOL. I wanted to start this because folks were always coming up to me saying how they like to read my comments or how they laugh at some of the stuff I post. This Blog will act as a creative tool to express my thoughts, feelings, desires and emotions on various things in my life! If you like it let me know or if you Hatin on it let me know...doesn't matter either way because HEY.....It's my World....you just live in it! So without Further adu...My first topic of my Blog!!....THE AIRPORT~~~

Some of you out there probably know that I frequent the airport quite a bit! It's kind of a neccessary evil that you have to go through these days to get from Point "A" to destination "B" the fastest. I will try my best to journal the trip to the airport in so many words.

First of all I try my damndest not to have a flight before 8:00am. Those early morning flights mess your sleep all up! And GOD knows it's hard for me to cram my Big Ass in those tiny seats! Kinda like sticking your.....ok ok i'll keep it clean!~ Anyways, the first leg of "The Airport" is getting there! I usually try to arrive no latter than an hour or 45 minutes before my flight! But what does it take to get there!
The funny thing about traveling is that you can never really pack enough! It could be a day trip and folks will pack enough for a WEEK. I know I know, I'm guilty as well. We try to pack the day before(night rather) thinking we are going to be ahead of the curve, only to be throwing more stuff in our bags or switching out outfits in anticipation af a great party! So after we cram everything in our bags we are off to "The Airport."
Usually it takes me no longer than 10 minutes from my crib to get there since I live so close but I take the shuttle instead of riding around looking for parking in the deck, and it's less expensive. Now the Shuttle is a beast of it's own because it's like Forest Gumps moma once said..."you never know what you gonna get." A lot of times when I'm on the shuttle you see various types of people...hey you may even see some folks you know! However, usually there are a few classes of people. You get the Business Traveler! They are usualy to caught up in their BlackBerries to even look you in the eye or even speak. You sometimes get the Vacationer!! These folks can't shut up! They tell you why they are on Vacation, who they are going on vacation with, and even show you pics of their kids they left at home to go on Vacation! And last but not least you get the Casual Traveler. These guys are pretty cool. They are usually in a rush but you feel sorry for them because they probably forgot their Keys in the car, or phone or something because they are in a rush! They also just need a little direction in the security lines which gives me my next segway!

SECURITY!! We all want it...But we also dread it! There is nothing worse than getting to the airport only to see the security line wrapped around the building!~! At this point, the Decision time begins! Do I choose the "casual traveler" line or do I go for the "Business Traveler" line...I mean after all I am a Business man right! Hmmmm...I take a little more thought to it! Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to go for the shorter line, but if the lines are equal I look for a few things...Kids, the Elderly(Grandma and Grandpa), and folks that look like they are from my home town(The Country) are KEYS for me to stay out their line! They Take FOREVER! As for the business class line, I usually try to look at the bags they are carrying. If It looks like there's a technical convention going on! I will gladly pass and be the "casual traveler."
The next part of security is after you have waited in line for who knows how long is finally getting to the TSA counter for them to check your ID. These folks have no personality and they look at you as if you are the next person to try and destroy America! HEY..I'm Black...we don't do that stuff! LOL... If you are smart you shoot them a big smile give them the ID and Ticket that they need and keep it moving to the dreaded Security scan! Here is where you can really loose it! The smell of feet and the clanging and beeping of the machines...Oh and don't for get the guy yelling "Please pull out your laptops and place it in the bins! Please throw your water away because it will not be permited pass security." Usually at this time you will see folks Chugging water as if they were at a College Frat house or others thinking they are slick and try to look for hidden pockets in their coats to get it past security. You can tell a lot about folks when they are in the security lines! So here it is, now it's your time to grab a bin! You try to grab at least 3 because you know your shoes, liquids of 3oz(that dime bag you had to carry), Laptop, coats, belts, wallet, keys, phone....and whatever else you may cary has to go through the screening. You get to the screener and send everything through only to get a loud "BEEP....BAG CHECK!! You look over and be like WTF...that's my bag! Shi....!! Mutha....!! Comes to find out you put your shoes in the bins when they changed the Rules! Ugh could you of told me...Now I have to sit in the chair why some strange lady rubs her hands up and down my spine with a magic wand!(Too bad she's not even close to being Cute!) So after you've been slightly violated you have to scramble and grab all the stuff you put into the screener and Hope no one takes one of your bags or coats by mistake. Hell I just want folks to get out of my way so i can get dressed! But hey, the good knews is that you are home free! You just hope your Checked bags make it to it's proper destination, but there is not time for thinking about that. You are in a rush, only to look at the Departures and see that your flight has been Delayed! Well I'll Be Damn!! oh well....that's "THE AIRPORT"!!
