I can wait to hear about Him.
But it's not Sunday so why should I talk about Him?

Przyznaję, podobało mi się wiele dziewczyn i chłopaków. Odczuwałem całą gamę emocji, wszystkie stopnie podniecenia, niekontrolowane drżenie, gdy pragnienie było silniejsze od zdrowego rozsądku. Ale nie, nie, nie, nie. To nie może się dziać naprawdę. Czemu, do cholery, musiałem zakochać się w kimś takim?!

For starters, this isn't a required class for Dealing with Women. I've decided to hold off on section 8 until next week. So, you're free to leave or stay as you see fit. It won't affect your grade either way. However, for those that do stay, the topic will be something that you can really sink your teeth into. The issue can and does affect both sexes on an equal level, tho I daresay there are cases where women take this issue more to heart than men do. Let's talk about confidence!
As defined, confidence is described as "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances " or,

Dealing with Women 101, Part 7Good Friday morning to everyone! Luckily for everyone, I'm in a perfectly fabulous mood today, so therefore, no homework this weekend!

I expect everyone to pay very close attention, because what I will tell you today will literally save you a world of hurt and begging for forgiveness when dealing with the fairer sex. That's right,

Good morning Ladies! Oh, and Gents... assuming of course there are any gents in the building.
Yes, I know it's Wednesday. There is, as always, a reason for my madness. In this case, I will be out of town on Friday attending a seminar, and I very much doubt that everyone will be available by the time I get back. So, I figured I may as well get this week's lesson out of the way sooner than later since I seem to be behind on things as it is. *shrug*
At any rate, it has come to my attention that there are certain areas that men ( and some women ) need to be a little more focused on in their day to day contact with the fairer

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.. oh, and you too Chris.
Imagine my surprise when I opened the door this afternoon to see every seat in the room taken! I don't know if it's the quality of the lessons, the subject matter, word of mouth, or whatever else, but if this keeps up, we're going to need a bigger room I think.. and I'm going to need a raise!
*ahem*
Anyway, due to some necessary delays, my original lesson on how to approach what a man might consider an unapproachable woman will have to wait until next Friday. If anything, the timing is good since most of you will have a long weekend, and doubtless

Well, well! I must admit that I'm very surprised to see some of you back, and even more surprised that there are a couple of new faces too! Judging by the spattering of drool every few seconds, it's definitely safe to assume that most of you have noticed that we have a rather large number of the fairer sex in the room as well. Well what did you expect? The class is open to everyone, and there was no doubt in my mind that at least a few women would show up... if only to judge the quality of my knowledge and information for themselves. Of course, it could have everything to do with today's guest speakers. *shrug*

The viewColors swirl in every combination and form ever imaginedThe view4 years ago in Spoken Word More Like This
Dark and light blend together without effort before you
The landscape a mere undefined splash of earth and sky
As a form takes shape so close you could touch if so desired
Unknown at first, yet strangely familiar in the truest sense
Lines become more defined as the vision continues
A sense of knowing, of feeling, fills your body and soul
The image well known, but different than the memory
Here and now, you might think it's a glimpse of Heaven
For no mortal could posses what you see before you
Every movement flowing like a gentle rain upon the earth
Real and unreal at the sam

I find myself alone again with my thoughts
That some feel emptiness within their hearts
A constant shadow that never quite fades away
Yet despite your absence from my side on this day
I am never really alone within the confines of my heart
It is there that no matter how dark the night sky is
The light that is you shines brightly to warm my soul
I may never feel the touch of your skin upon mine
Or know the scent of your hair as I hold you close
Still I have more than most people will ever know
And even fewer could ever dream of having
The privilege of sharing a small part of your li

Over time, Ive watched you change, and watched you grow into the beautiful person that I see today. My heart aches knowing that for more reasons than there are words, I could not be more for you than I am now.

The promise of HopeHOPE.The promise of Hope5 years ago in Spoken Word More Like This
Such a wonderful word, so full of promise and possibilities.
One can hope for something as simple as a better job,
Or something as complicated as an entirely new life.
No matter the level, hope should be defined as the possibility of change.
In this journey of life, hope can be everything, or simply a meaningless word.
Empires rise and fall, a cool breeze turns to a frigid gale, and yet hope remains
A tiny spark in the unending darkness, a bright flame in which to guide you....
Or simply another empty word learned as a child and easily dismissed as fantasy
There are the times when it seems all hope is lost,
When the light of h

The light part struggles to maintain the fragile balance that has existed for so long, yet now stands on the verge of collapse.The struggle within5 years ago in Spoken Word More Like This
In the eternal struggle between light and dark, intelligent thought gives way to emotion, and ultimately self-preservation remains the only defining factor in a mind torn apart from within. A mind under duress exists only for itself, thinking nothing of the past nor the future. Only of the here and now, without regard for anything or anyo

Darkness FallsWhere does one turn to when the shroud of night fallsDarkness Falls6 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
When the trials of life threaten to overwhelm your sanity
And not even those closest to you realize the impending darkness?
There is courage against the unknown.
The will to stand and face whatever stalks night,
Knowing that your best efforts may not be enough,
But still ready to face your fate nonetheless.
There is fear for some. The darkness brings with it terror.
Of the unknown, the unseen, or perhaps simply it's
Primal instinct to loath what you do not understand.
To flee from possible danger seems the wisest choice.
There is uncertainty for others. Doubt of what may lie t

A shattered life...All along, I thought I was alone forever...A shattered life...9 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Then you came along...changing the weather.
A friend to forever be with me inside,
Together so I am not lonely when I hide.
Though sadly, time had come upon us,
Death tolls becoming a must...
A killer, purely very cold at heart,
Had came and tore us far apart...
After coming from the shadows I saw,
Struck forever with depressions awe.
You were paralyzed with death, killed while I was gone,
Since then, I have forever been withdrawn.
The only person that was imporant to me,
Had left me in death, free to be...
Though alone I could not withstand it,
The pain too strong, too much to sit.

I'm bewondered as I stare
With these hands I can build a wall
around the gardens I hold dear
But with these hands I can tear them down
leaving not a single brick unturned
With these hands I bring life or death
What I give Your eyes discern
So I glance at these hands of mine
ignorant to what they do
I notice not if they break or build
Not knowing the fate they lead me to

ColorsI am a person who sees colors associated with objects and people.Colors2 years ago in Stories & Vignettes More Like This
Apparently not everyone can do this. Some can. Others can associate shapes. But I see colors.
These colors are my reminders. I only see them when I think of good things. I remember childhood memories best when a color is associated with them.
Ask me what color I see with God, and I cannot answer that, however.
This is not because God is not good in my perspective. He is perfect in every way. No matter what thoughts or fears, I cannot look upon Him as imperfect.
This is because I saw His love, in 2007. I saw it with eyes I cannot use every day upon will. No, it may

You want bloodshed, I'll give you blood
You want a coward however, look somewhere else

A real warrior never backs down, even in the face of defeat

A real warrior will give his all for his comrades without so much as a thought
He protects the weak and defenseless, comforts the hurting
He accepts rebuke when he is wrong, learning from and admitting his mistakes
He is not always right, but his heart is
He strives for perfection everyday, seeking to better himself
He's never content with mediocre, prefering rather to fail attempting gr

I found a photo album today,
stuck in a draw,
next to my mother's bed.
Small, with a red leather cover
I opened it.
The name,
written in blue ink,
was smudged but I could still make out
Daniel and his date of birth.
I turned the pages,
and flipped through the pictures of a beautiful baby boy,
and by the end,
amongst the pages lonely,
with no pictures I began to cry.
Daniel didn't make it,
he was taken away from us far too soon.
We never got to see him grow.
I should of had an older brother
But instead I'll never know.
