Moving Forward

Moving on from past pains and expectations to my awaiting and blessed future. Ignoring or confronting the ignorance walking steadily toward my destiny with God as the leader of my life. This is my life, my journey and I am going my way. Deal.

Re-train? Nope, it ain't gonna happen partna'.

Straight. I have to give it to the brother straight. Take this rag and wipe that milk off of your lip. You are playing a grown man when your actions scream that you have the mind set of a teenager. I do not mind getting to know or supporting anyone, loving anyone. However, I am not going to re-train you on stuff your mom's already taught you about. Being considerate of others time, that kind of basic stuff there, ummm no. I am not going to be bothered with that.

I know that many men are spoiled these days when it comes to the dating scene, and really are not ready for the responsibility of what the definition of "man" means in a relationship. Can you lead brother? Is your word your bond? You know, basics. I did not mention rolling in dough, I did not mention anything about driving a certain car etc. To me, knowing you are a man because of your character and your morals, what you will and will not take a stand about, that you are intelligent etc, that is sexier than all of the material things. Material things are nice to have, but they are not the begin all and end all. If you cannot take care of biz on the daily and have something beyond your finances going on that really matters to you, I do not want you. Let the other chicks have at ya' and good luck.

Many menhave learned or think they have the gist of what women should do and be, but you betta go and check yourself and make sure you are in order before you come with that with me. You cannot, you do not have the right to ask a woman about her role, is she getting herself together and a common everyday moral decision, a common sense decision, extending common courtesy have you all hemmed up in a corner and is beating you down like its your pimp and you owe it money. Come on now! I pay attention to your actions man, your actions. For men, for most folks heck, this is what really matters. Actions ARE what matters. Let's just cut all the bull out from the get, ok?

I liked the guy, I really did. We had a good convo and he seemed pretty solid. Too bad he did not turn out that way. Yeah he has a lot on his plate, and a lot of others folks do too and they do common courtesy things and show respect to folks. Thankfully for me, I did not place my trust in the man though, honestly I did not know him like that. I placed my trust solely and solidly in God. I asked God as I have asked Him before to remove him if he ain't the one. Question answered and directions given. See ya later partna and good luck!!

I understand now that the guy did not fail me. Another frog, another toad, someone I kissed and now... I am glad he has moved on as quickly as he did. I am also glad that I continued to date and to be available. He showed me who and what he is. It is a simple thing to call and say, "my mom is ill, I have an emergency, got off to late. One more time, he did not do call to let me know what was really going on, but called the day after. Sorry fellas, even if your reasoning is that you don't want to hear what we gotta say, you know that this is called a punk move. Even if you are no longer interested, this is called a punk move. That was it for me, no more excuses. We are grown. I do not have time for that. Good luck with your life.

Just wasn't that into me, I suppose. I am not hurt nor am I really angry or anything. I am just dissapointed that I keep running into these kind of men. I guess the truth is, all of us, men and women are running into people who think that they have mucho game and have no common sense. As my ma always told me, common sense ain't really all that common. That quote, unfortunately, is proven again.

I wish him well as I keep the dating thing, the living thing, the hope and prayer thing moving along. No time for grudges ya'll. It is not worth it, and I am not blocking my blessings for anyone. Heck, I know I am going to be married. No use holding on to rotten garbage, put in the dumpster where it belongs. That way you don't get bitter or too tired to notice the good man/lady in front of ya.

Out ya'll. Have a good day!! Be gone now!
