Classic Post: Men Gossiping Like Women

Each day I'm understanding why some women feel that today's men aren't like the men of old. The men of old never gossiped about another man behind his back. Whatever a man had to say, he said it to another man's face, and whatever happened, happened. Here's a classic stat from my FB timeline

6/27/12: 

6/26: There used to be a time where it was unacceptable for a man to gossip about another man or anyone for that matter. Now, so-called men are acting like women with the subliminal disses, snide remarks and talking behind people's back. Most of the time, these same men get that Scooby Doo and play stupid like the mess isn't wrong. Throwing your rock and hiding your hand IS NOT CUTE. If you say & do something, OWN UP TO WHAT YOU SAY/SAID AND DO/DID. If you can't stand behind what you say and do, you shouldn't do it. Over & Out.

Random Thought

How a ghetto can pass for an upper middle class neighborhood confuses people because they see the pretty homes, manicured lawns and overall quietness until a few blocks over, automatic weapons are going off with police racing to murder scenes.

I remember when ghettos looked like actual ghettos. Now, you have inner city areas that look like upper middle class neighborhoods.

Adversity=Breakthrough

For me, a sign of maturing in my walk with God is not to get upset when I'm facing adversity especially if I'm in God's will. It's said that the closer you are to your blessing, the harder the adversity. Yes it sucks sometimes, but I live in a fallen world so I'm going to have to fight.

Just because you have opposition doesn’t mean you’re not in God’s will. The adversity means the opportunity is coming.

I want to live out my fantasies | The Steve Harvey Morning Show

I want to live out my fantasies | The Steve Harvey Morning Show: 

The solution is pretty simple to me: Live out his freaky fantasies with his wife. If she's a solid woman (According to this letter, she is), she better not co-sign this foolishness. She better give this joker the side eye and threaten to cut him if he ever tries her like that again.

You Started It, You Fix It

Women are used to dealing with conflict because they're the source of it.

Tallahassee Is A Warzone? Stop It

I'm annoyed at some Tallahassee citizens who swear Tallahassee has a crime issue. In order for Tallahassee to have a true crime problem, our violent crime has to be on par with property crime. Looking at the stats, Tallahassee's crime is lopsided because the property crime is much higher than violent crime. If anything, Tallahassee's property crime is the highest in the state (according to FDLE), and that's stretching it because comparing Tallahassee's crime with that of Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, those places dwarf Tallahassee in violent and property crime. Don't get me started on how some people are saying Tallahassee is #1 in murder. As long as I've lived in Tallahassee (being from Miami), our annual murder count has stayed below the teens; Tallahassee usually averages 7 murders a year, which is good considering the city's size. Why? Because citizens and law enforcement won't let this city get out of control. The worst areas of Tallahassee have at least 2-3 police cruisers patrolling the hoods, so you really think folks are going to pull it? Negative. Look at the top 50 US cities (mid-size to large) with high murder rates and you won't find Tallahassee on there, I promise you.

Tallahassee folks still saying Tallahassee's #1 in murder? Stop it. We haven't cracked the list of top 50 US cities with high murder rates.

Hit Or Miss?

If you live life long enough, you'll understand. No one has it all together, myself included.

The best of us miss the mark from time to time.
