Whitney Houston’s Gone Wow.

I was nine years old when I realized the incredible talent known as Whitney Houston. At six I was singing as accurate as a six year old could sing the words to: I’m Your Baby Tonight. I will never forget watching Whitney’s Grammy performance of: He’s All The Man I Need; and instantly receiving goose bumps over my entire body. Her voice was truly magnificent and there will never be another Whitney Houston! I personally am still in a state of shock and feel like I’m in a fog, but her death is all too real. I have only this response to offer: Whitney Houston sang like angel and I shall never forget that voice.

Man Marriage

Today Governor Chris Christy spoke outward on Gay Marriage being legal in New Jersey…I am glad to hear Governor Christy acknowledging the NJ LGBTQ community…Being a New Jerseyan, and gay…I support my communities’ strides no matter how minuscule they are..Society has played an integral part in oppressing my community by; restricting our voice..It has only been in the past decade or so that we an American community are beginning to rise and speak up, for our civil rights as citizens..I agree with this suggesting made by Governor Christy on CNN earlier; NJ political officials should let the people of NJ say yea or nay to legalize gay marriage..At the present moment I don’t believe marriage is for me, however it may very well be for many of my constituents…

iPhone Mania

So I’ve purchased the iPhone 4 and I like it…Like many of my friends I’ve been suckered into buying the latest cell phones- in cellular technology…Initially I wasn’t sold on the iPhone, or it’s nemesis the Blackberry…I previously owned a Blackberry curve and at the present moment I own the iPhone 4. I do like both phones, for now I’m going to leave my choice, of which phone do I like better..I’ll save this confession for another post….So I learned that my iPhone 4 is 3G on Sprint PCS, and other cellular networks offer 4g…I understand now that it does make a difference what cell phone carrier you have…Although I gave up my Samsung prevail 3G on Boost Mobile network, for my iPhone 4 on 3G on Sprint PCS network…There is a very big difference…All in all I really like this phone….

Friends

I once heard it said, if you can count the number of friends you have on one hand you are blessed. This is an old school cliche, but many like the one mentioned above hold true spiritual value. I believe in cliches myself.
As for my personal experience with friendship many friends have come and gone. Some I remain attach to,’ and some I haven’t , for many reason which I choose not to elaborate on. I can recall only a single unconditional friendship. My bestfriend who’s name I shall leave anonymous. we’ve beeen friends since our freshman year of high school. She is counted as my number one and only real friend, so I consider myself blessed.
At the present moment I feel that eryone around me is my friend. I believe that my purpose in the present moment is to love all humanbeings and to show myself friendly. So I see the universe and the people around me as friends. There fore the universe will befriend me and love me in return.

Christmas Spirit!

I know the real reason for the season which is giving love. Many do not celebrate Christmas more importantly you should celebrate life. Giving is beautiful and is not limited to tangables, rather we give many spiritual gifts like Love. This is the true meaning of what I call Lovemass. So happy Lovemass people.

The Giants and Jets

I’m so upset with the Jets play hard or go home. So the Jets are dissapointment! They’re going home with a final score of Giants 20 Jets 14.

The Importance Of Absolutely Nothing…..

     I Sometime wonder is it at all worth it when; I get mad and raise my voice at the offender even though I have proved my case well in-front of my constituents. Does it even matter when I read somebody like the New York Times, what good does it do for me?  How about when I’m in the grocery store and the person standing in-front of me is loud and ghetto and it pisses me off to my core, how does this make me a better person? Sometimes when I ride public transportation it feels like I have waited two years for a single bus to come, not to mention once I am on the bus I have to tolerate people’s many ignorant offenses, or their blatant displays of barbaric behavior. I can not call any one of these experiences as being worst than the other, because truthfully all of these ignorant offenses aggravate me when I’m in the act of experiencing them. I ask my self how do I cope with all this earthly foolishness, and I still have not found the answer to this question. I believe that in life it all boils down to faith; if not faith in a single God and his Son Jesus the Christ-Messiah, one must have faith in something be it tangible or spiritual.  No I don’t will to turn this writing into to a religious epiphany-debate, but we all have to believe in something or else how would you explain the psychological drive of the human brain. We would all be clinically assigned to a mental institution of some sort. Life is a kind of rat race only fit for the mentally strong. I believe that this is a stigma that society has placed on human kind, but actually I believe that humans have many frailties and through these afflictions we acquire our greatness. Although I have never personally seen the Supreme Entity that most call God for my self, I do believe that His Excellency the Most High does exists. I don’t know why He loves me; I just know what he has told me to do. So in other words I focus not on what I’m struggling with in life, rather I focus on what he would have me do for him. I pretty much feel that all in the world is useless, unless it used to help somebody and to bring them closer to love.        

The Way Out Of People-Inflected Drama

            Most people don’t realize how much they need and depend on other people.  It’s a well known fact that: the Human species has and will continue to survive based off of our ability to cohabitate with one another, in other words one human being needs another in order to survive.  Now I will give my personal declaration on one human needing another. I believe that: all humans need at least one human to assist with this journey called life; however I don’t agree that one person’s need/s should burden, or consume the other person’s need/s.

            In a verse from, Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love of Allshe snags: “Everybody’s searching for hero, people need someone to look up to.  I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, a lonely place to be and, so I learned to depend on me. I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail if I succeed at least I live as believe no matter what they take, from me they can’t take away my dignity. Because the greatest love of all is happening to me, (and I skip to the end) learning to love your self it is the greatest love of all.”  This song truly epitomizes my feelings on independency. It is my belief that: in order for a single individual to tap into their fullest potential their primary focus should be on them self. I will elaborate more on this train of thinking.  Take people such as: Doctors, Layers, Scientist, and Scholars. These people have committed themselves to their crafts which say to me that; some level of independence is present in their lives.  Another experience that I would like to mention is: during my young adult years I was extremely naïve to people I classify as users, these users consumed all of my time and money, they knew my work schedule on and off , basically they controlled my life. These users are very toxic to your mental and physical health, as well your exponential growth. I have given up much of my young adulthood chasing behind such people, and I have concluded today that I have taken control of my life by learning to love my self. Sometimes this may mean me being by my self and doing things by my self as well, and I have come to complete terms with this and maybe you should too.

            Learning to love my self was the greatest and hardest thing that I ever had to do. Knowing that there is always something better for me is all that I focus on. I can say that today I am very happy with my self, because I know that I can always depend on me.             

Getting My Heart Step On Is A Regular Occurrence….

     For some mysterious reason I love letting other people step on my heart.  I mean that I allow myself to be in situations where my heart can be abused for example: I allowed one of my love ones whom I shall leave nameless for the sake of their privacy, to waste my time by waiting for them to come from NY to NJ, needless to say they never came to NJ. Of course I have the pleasure of receiving the disappointment of waiting for some to show who never did, and I allotted myself to waste what could have been an other wise productive day.  So technically I am to blame for my troubles. Ok, so this writing will not become a religious epiphany, rather a self reflective writing to see where I am psychologically.  Here is where I change my focus from:  my heart being stepped on, to being mean and inconsiderate of other’s feelings.

                Most have said that I can be as mean as a rattle snake in a brie patch, but I beg to defer in opinion.  According to Maslow’s Hierarchy humans have five categories of basic needs and they are: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.  If you need more in-depth information on Maslow’s Theory of Basic Human Needslook up Abraham Maslow, but for the sake of this text I will not be going any further into the category break down.  I do agree that well all have these human needs, I don not agree with the order that they are in.
