Tragedy Repeated

People must know that I’m very supportive of gun rights in this country. As a licensed gun owner I don’t want to see the Right to Bear Arms taken away. Having said that the shit needs to be changed.

In having the debate over gun control in the wake of another mass killing, this time in Sante Fe, Texas I’m reminded of the position many of our gutless Republican politicians took following Parkland nd Las Vegas. When the fuck will it be time to deal with the gun control conversation. How many teenagers need to get their hands on guns nd senselessly kill their classmates before we say enough. How many perverse grown men do we need mass murdering us before we say no more.

This is not a new conversation but damn it it’s a society changing one that must be had now. We can’t just continue to sit nd wait hoping the bull shit bandaids our leaders put in place hold over. They arent working nd the wound is about to gush.

I sat nd saw the Presidents words yesterday when he learned of the shooting nd honestly it pissed me the hell off. For all of his bluster about being the best President nd not being hostage to Party lines.. Which we kno is bullshit cuz he’s already hostage to Russia.. I did think for a moment after Parkland that Trump would “Do Something” but that was not to be.

As a former High School teacher I am hurt, sad, mad and disturbed that educators can’t teach without the fear of being killed in the classroom. I’m even more disgusted that the children of today can’t learn nd develop their skills for leading without fear of being killed in the classroom. What kinda soceity are we living in nd creating. There is a major link missing from our discourse that is damaging us, the Millennial Generation.

As we now exist in the technology age, gone are the days where kids go outside nd play. Where after doing school work you wanted to be out with your friends. Instead its all computer nd cell phone based. While social media has helped spark change nd exciting new movements, it has also created an age of isolationism nd social bullying that is dismantling the confidence nd minds of young people.

Truth is that guns have been around for ages nd we never had the issues like we do now. This ain’t no foreign terrorist shit either; this is home grown Americans. Young white people nd old white people mostly on these mass killings. Black men. Young nd old in their neighborhoods needlessly killing. We must address our culture nd our system. We must address the ease with which guns are obtained. It’s time to stop sleeping on the issue nd be the leaders that we profess to be. We are the only developed nation with gun control issues of this magnitude. Yet we claim to be the most sovern.

The answer isn’t to look tp Trump nd his allies. The answer is not going silent. Keeping the movement started by those Parkland kids alive. Don’t let this go dark. Keep the light shinning.

God Bless the people of Sante Fe nd those who lost loved ones nd those injured. We are all one people.

A Perilous Nation

As I continue to sit and watch the scandalous bull shit of the nations 45th President, I continue to think how close are to pure and utter chaos? To some the answer might surprise you..

I believe that we are living in a time right now where all of our most sacred institutions are under assault. We are living in a time where Politicians are telling the bodies of Justice in this country how to prosecute. We have a corrupt Attorney General. We have a corrupt HUD Secretary. We have a Corrupt Secretary of Education.

Not to mention the most corrupt President and executive cabinet in history. We have a Congress that has effectively done zero to in the removal of this President or to adequately check his power. We have police brutality still at insane levels. Racism is alive nd well nd the law enforcement community isnt doing enough to deter it. The business community isn’t ballsy enough to eradicate it from their businesses.

We are a nation still begging for leaders to galvanize us around the issues of race and inequality. Waiting for people of this nation to say they’ve had enough of the bigotry nd stereotyping. It’s now that we desperately need leaders from all walks of life to come together and guide the people of this nation to a better place.

Sadly enough we look past the preamble of the Constitution nd run right to our political or ethnic motivations and its destroying us as a nation. Remember the first line: We the people. Think about it. It doesnt say we the Black or we the White, not we the Latino or we the Asian. Not we the Christian or we the Muslim. It says We the People.

Lets take back the narrative and remove the hate. Lets Remember that all of us are We The People. Stay strong stay independent stay open.

A tribute to you

There is no greater experience in my mind than becoming a parent for the first time. To kno you have created a being that will be in your likeness. That will have your blood in its bubb veins. To see the first smile, hear the first cry, witness the first steps, hear the first words and the list goes on.

These are some of the early joys of watching a life u helped create learn the new world they exist within. To hear their little heart beat. To see the innocence in them. To hear the first time they say I love you daddy. What a special gift. To have a son for any man gay or straight is a prideful thing. To know your heir is here.

Now imagine being told you’re going to be a father and then four months later that gift is taken away. Then imagine being told the real reason why your son isn’t here.. Because the person carrying your child killed him. No notice given to you and the only explanation is its my body nd I do what I want.

Just because the relationship ends doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be an involved nd constantly present dad. Having a child is a want of mines. So to have been so close only to have it snatched away in devastating fashion has fucked with me since finding out nearly two weeks ago.

The pain is unexplainable. The hurt is paralyzing and the thoughts are debilitating. I never wanted to kno this feeling. To be on the doorstep of fatherhood only to have spite and jealousy take that away. It hurts so bad every day. It’s just one more thing that makes u question yourself. It puts u in a constant state of hurt yet the show must go on

So to you my unborn son, Jeremiah Solomon Reynolds. I wish u peace as u never got to take a breath on this Earth. Daddy loved u beyond any measure u will kno. The tears that fall don’t console my heart. My love for u is always there.

This is my tribute to u.

Drop a line nd lets talk about it

A broken soul

Damn it Im back and it feels good. My absence from my release vice has been killing me. So much to write about. So many thoughts to lay down.

The hardest thing to do when ur reviving urself from a difficult relationship is to manage the emotions and pain you feel. People will constantly try to tell u to just move past it cuz you’ve survived it but bitch do u kno what the fuck I went through? Most likely not which means fuck u saying just push past it. Ive gotta heal and restart all over again.

See there is so much emotional damage that comes from a breakup. If you had any sort of trauma or extreme challenges there’s more damage done. It all adds up. The longer you were together the harder it is too. It makes u question yourself. You have doubt and all types of thoughts eating away at you. When you experience so of the extremes of a relationship you also lose track of yourself. You find yourself searching for answers and for who you are.

You lose friendships and distance yourself to protect you and those you care for from the madness and destruction. Not knowing that you’re really tearing yourself apart in the process. Yet you find the strength from God to continue on until you find the will nd power to walk away. But the damage is already done. You are destroyed and heart broken. You’re left to pick up the pieces of your heart nd soul to put it back together again.

That’s where the doubt and disbelief set in. It’s when the depression and hatred set in. It’s where you question your existence and purpose. Its where the dark cloud rests. Trying to find the desire to move on. The levels pain fluctuate and only you can stop it.

Ask yourself can you stand and rebuild yourself again?

Speak ur mind nd lets discuss

The Power of Two

If you don’t like kinda sermon type blogs, then this one you might wanna skip. It’s not going to be the traditional sermon but it will sound like I’m preaching, and it might just be to you. Every once in a while something like this comes into my spirit and I feel the need to get it out. With that advanced notice, here we go.

I wanna take some time to explain why two is very powerful. Think about how many are in a marriage? What about a committed relationship?  It’s only two. Two people who learn how to come together, how to share their collective talents, how to bind their hearts as one. Two who learn how to command a room. Two who know how to be successful together. I can only imagine that for some, they don’t feel that you need two to be successful and that’s true, but how much stronger are you when you have that special one to hold on to?

When two come together and find that cohesion it can create things that weren’t thought to be possible. When two figure out how to find their commonality it’s like poetry. When two work together to get past the past hurts and pains, it’s better than any Psychologist or Therapist. When two learn how to love, my damn it’s stronger than just about anything. Two is one of the most powerful numbers in human nature, because two can create magic.

Again, let me go back to my opening statement, this blog ain’t for the person that wants to be alone, nor it is for the person who doesn’t want to settle down. Rather, this is for the hopeless romantic, this is for the broken-hearted who still has hope, this is for those lovers out there that are already working to on their two. This is for anyone who already knows what the Power of two is and can lend their testimony.

When you lay in the bed at night and you are cuddled together with your one and only, the two of you are creating chemistry, energy, and heat that feels second to none. When the two of you are working on plans for your future you see the light shining so brightly in the sky. When you two are making decisions as to how to facilitate things, it’s like creating art. See the ability to form two and make a beautiful union is extremely powerful.

When you feel down on yourself, the other picks you up. When you feel alone, the other reminds you that they’re there. When you think that you can’t do something or that you’re break ain’t coming, the other reminds you that your breakthrough is just around the other side of the corner. This ain’t to say that friends can’t help you or encourage you along the way, because they can, but that one that’s your rock their voice means just that  much more to you.

Lemme tell you this, if you’ve tried to develop a Power of two and it falters that doesn’t mean that you stop, because the energy that comes from that twosome is worth going hard after. If you trying to work on that Power of two and you encounter some hardships, don’t stop because it’s hard, just keep plowing ahead. The Power of two is just that special. The Power of two can make you feel like ten. There is not another feeling that can outlast it. If you think it ain’t real ask those folks who are happily married or been in long-term committed relationships.

When the Rains Fall

Most people have a emotional connection to the weather. That is when it’s dreary and rainy their emotions tend to be either very bland because of the lack of sunshine or their highly volatile. It is truly an interesting phenomenon to see. Something that is truly an essential part of our survival can have such an impact on the human emotion. Rain is the substance that helps the plants and grass to grow. It allows for us to see the beautiful rainbow when the sun comes out.

Rain is the substance that, for many people, puts you to sleep with it hits calmly against your window pain. But, it can also jolt you awake when it pounds heavily like bubbling volcano. Reactions are different to Earth’s natural bath. Some love to hear the rain and enjoy being in it, while others can’t wait till it’s over so they can bask in the sunlight again.

I wonder how it’s possible for so many different reactions to come from the one singular substance. Water. Some like to stand outside and drink in the rain as it falls from the sky, others run and hide to avoid messing up that outfit they just put on. Kids like to jump in the puddles and play with little care, most adults try to bundle up so they avoid the cold that over exposure can bring. There are so many different reactions one can have to the rain, but the root seems to be pretty much the same.

Either you like rain and have fun playing, dancing, or even singing in the rain. Or, you just want it to be over, so you see the sun and feel a little bit warmer. I have always wondered what causes this difference in reactions. The sleeper when it rains versus the energizer bunny. And why it is that when you’re younger you tend to enjoy the watery puddles and rain soaked clothes, but once you become an adult, well being out for sustained periods in the rain is just a huge no-no.

Either way it’s all apart of the process. And as we all know, you gotta have some rain if you want anything to grow.

Obama Second Class

For the first time in a while I’ve returned to give my comments on what’s going on in America as we inch closer to the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States. I’ve heard many around the various networks calling for America to now rally around this first time politician. We hear things like he’s going to need all the help he can get and ugly Presidential contests are part of the business. While both of these things may be true, there is another truth in this.. Obama wasn’t gettin this benefit of the doubt when he won in a landslide.

Where was the GOP calling for a unified America when Obama destroyed Senator John McCain? It didn’t exist. See the Republicans were already bunkered down trying to devise their strategy to limit Obama to one term, not help him be a successful President. Am I saying that they should have been holding hands and singing songs, No I’m not. But, there should have been an attempt to really work with this President and it wasn’t. The first chance Republicans could take at shutting him down they did and it continued for the next 8 years.

They complain that we aren’t further along in our recovery, that jobs aren’t more plentiful, well maybe that’s partly because Republicans refused to continue to work with Obama on initiatives that would have helped the country be even more successful. And the funny thing is despite the record growth of American jobs and the success of Wall Street it still wasn’t enough. Yes millions of Americans voted for the first Black President in American history, but you can best believe those elite, snobs on the Right who made their careers on Capitol Hill didn’t want to see him occupy the most Powerful post in the free world.

Fast forward to 2016 and now 2017 and all we here is we need to reconcile as a country for the good of the Nation. Really? I guess we couldn’t reconcile under Obama, but it’s appropriate under Trump. Man, we will miss President Obama for sure. He was the man that oversaw so much history in this country and as time passes from his Presidency we will realize that he truly was one of the great American Presidents.

The Obama Effect

I know it’s been a while since I wrote about the outgoing President of the United States, but as we finally come to the end of this election cycle it’s time to help cement the legacy of President Barack Obama. Many are now saying, both privately and aloud, they wish that Obama could stick around just a little while longer.

Now, yes many on the Right are ready for him to go, because in their minds, this Black man has been in the White House far too long for them. They have despised the site of him and his family occupying that place. They have long waited to usher him out and put back in someone who looks, talks, acts and sounds like them. Well in less than 72 hours, we will back to that place. The only question is will it be a White woman or a White man?

I was watching a clip of Obama giving his speech and a protester who’s a Trump supporter came into the rally. The President’s reaction and response was amazing stuff and I only wish that the two candidates would have such grace, style and respect for the office that their running for. See instead of trying to usher the man out himself, or shame the gentleman, the President made the case for why the man should be given respect and stick around.

He reminded the audience that in America we have freedom of speech, he also told them that he appeared to be a Military Vet who has earned our respect, and finally he said that he was an elderly gentleman, which also calls for respect. Then he pivoted back to his speech and reminded folks that they were losing focus by engaging that man. Rather than engage him, he urged them to Vote! Amazing right, he still got his message across about America being distracted by insignificant things and losing focus of what issues each candidate stands for. He quickly told folks that if they don’t get their focus back America could be in trouble.

Imagine if Hillary could do that just once. Can you imagine how she could sway folks and get the public to possibly refocus the conversation on matters of importance. But, that’s part of that Obama mystique that we’re going to miss. He gives you so much of the calm, cool man. Respectful and always mindful of the characteristics of a person before just instigating disparaging remarks.

We may not agree with every decision he’s made. We may not think he did enough for one group or the other, but make no mistake President Obama is a figure that’s needed right now. He has tried to further the conversation nationally about Police brutality, inequality and the stigma in the Black community. He has talked about the opioid epidemic, the injustice in the American prison system, reversing the extreme prejudice from the War on Drugs. I can keep listing things that he’s done without support from a Congress that wants him gone.

These approaches to the office of President may seem simple, or automatic, but remember there is one candidate who wants to be a dictator and rule with an iron fist, the other, while no where near as authoritarian, is still slighted to the well connected. Obama showed us how to be a humble President, and that we certainly could use a lot more of in the current candidates.

Good Head Good Life

Clearly my title is a little tongue in cheek, but this blog will tell you why you need a partner who knows how to give good head. Laugh now, but I bet if you think about it you’ll realize if you ever been wit someone who knows how to suck good dick, you’ve been happy pretty often.

Now the premise of this is based on you having someone who both knows how and likes to suck dick. Think about when you’ve argued with the person and then it came time to have make up sex. Ain’t it grand when they just drop to they knees and start sucking your dick? You know it makes you feel good and then it just makes you wanna fuck em that much better and more. If this ain’t you it’s cool, just thinking about what made you mad will still get the job done I’m sure. LOL

But, I want you to also think about on them mornings that you gotta get up for work and you know you don’t wanna go. If your dude or woman there wit you and know your frustration, maybe they help give you some motivation and bless you before you gotta go. Maybe they even start while you sleep so you wake up and feel like the day gone be great. If you had this happen then you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Or think about that weekend action. You off and you know you can sleep in a lil late. Bae next to you and just slide down and go to bobbin on that dick, you know that shit makes you feel like a million dollars right. Ha! Maybe you got a freak for a partner and they start sucking on you while you out driving to where eva y’all bout to go or coming from. Who don’t like driving down the road gettin a good brain session? What about that lunchtime quickie? Ain’t got time to fuck, but got time to get slobbed on. Tell me that don’t set you right.. LOL

The tension that gets released, the frustration you can let out but fucking the hell out they throat while they sucking on you. If they like it rough, you can grab they hair and pull, if they ain’t got a lot, you push they head down on ya dick and enjoy the job that they doing. You ain’t gotta admit it, but it makes your sex life that much better. If they can suck you til you bust that nut, tell me a good nut from sum head don’t make feel you relaxed.

Now all those benefits were just given, imagine if you didn’t have that. The sex might still be good, but the sex might also be a lil boring. Limited foreplay but lots of fuckin..maybe. See sometimes if bae ain’t in the mood to give up the ass or pussy, that good brain will suffice for the night. Oh and by the way, if the reason it’s not being done is because they don’t know, then you should allow them opportunity to practice on you. So maybe you that kat that boo won’t blow you cuz they don’t know how. Let them practice. Because as we all know, Practice does make Perfect! LMAO

If you dare, leave ya comments and lets have a lil chat about it.

Why Hillary Ain’t “Over”

If you have ever watched Wrestling, you know when someone says that a wrestler is “Over” it means their getting the reaction from the crowd that they want. Whether it’s a Heel and their being booed or their a Face and gettin crazy cheers. Well so many people have written, and mostly correct, about why Hillary Clinton ain’t clinched this Presidential election already. I wanna go a little deeper so people can understand she would never have gotten “Over” no matter the opponent.

One she’s going against a career entertainer in Donald J Trump. He knows how to work a room and how to work the media. He knows how to say things to get a rise out of folks and the reactions he gets are genuine, whether or not his comments are true. The problem with a guy like that is no one knows when to take him seriously and when to say he’s being grandiose. I think by now we all know that the shit Trump says he believes. He’s a sexist, racist, prejudiced, bigot. But the problem is so many on the Right believe what he says to be true and they want that in their President.

The other issue is that he speaks to the sensalization of  the American people, so regular minded folks think he really knows what the fuck he’s talking about, when in reality Trump don’t know a damn thing about Foreign policy or how to run a country. Yet, many want him because he speaks tough. Another problem for Hillary.

She’s like the Babyface that’s been in the business for twenty years and you know her move set, al la Hulk Hogan but with far less charisma and likability, so you know what’s comin and you don’t like it.  Her problem is everyone knows who she is and what she stands for. And, while some of her views are very favorable for the middle class, she’s lived her life to show you that she truly believes in the Cronism of politics.

She doesn’t know most of what to say or do for regular people cuz she ain’t been regular in over 30 years. She’s truly out of touch with the American person, be they Black, White, Poor, Middle Class or Gay. She don’t know the struggle. She can’t get over because what she’s supported when she was First Lady and the Junior Senator from New York, puts her at odds somewhat with the demographics she needs the most.

When her husband was President she was strongly for The Defense of Marriage Act. This at a time when there was not a robust push for LGBT rights. They pushed this legislation through without any provocation. Then she was  a strong advocate for the “War on Drugs” movement that her husbands administration was largely responsible for pushing, with Congressional assistance. This led to the massive incarceration of lots of lower class Colored People, Black and Hispanic, which caused major ramifications in the community.

Look at her close ties to Wall Street, you know, the industry that damn near crippled this country a little more than 8 years ago. Add it all up and you see why her tricks are gettin the rise that she wants. She hasn’t shown that she’s truly evolved, just changed her wording up because she knows the public sentiments aren’t with her old Democratic Party ideas. This is not the Democratic Party former President Clinton, this truly is the Obama Democrats.

All of that being said, I’d rather dance with her at the party, then to take a flier on Trump. That just sounds like suicide. Why the hell would you wanna jump off the building just because Hillary don’t exactly see eye to eye wit you. November 8, 2016 will have consequences. Whether or not their the ones we want, remains to be seen. The differences are there but the truth is she is the only one who will truly be able to continue our progress for the next four years. So Vote! Vote! Vote!

P.S. that doesn’t mean I disrespect anyone who votes for Trump. I just can’t make a rational decision to vote for someone who doesn’t respect Women, Gay people, Black people or Immigrants. I can’t respect someone who only talks about general plans and has no definitive plans. America Wake Up!
