A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

 

This is a beautiful picture that I just HAD to share. The following was quoted by Facebook friend Miloe Jackson off his Grown Man Logic page: Every WOMAN deserves a GROWN MAN who calls her "Baby", KISSES like He means it.. HOLDS her like He never wants to let go.. Doesn't make Her JEALOUS of other Women, and instead makes other Women, jealous of Her.. Isn't scared to let His friends know how He really feels about feels about Her, and let's Her know how much, He really LOVES HER.

Monday's Proverbs

*Miami won Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs yesterday evening, putting the smackdown on Milwaukee with a 110-87 win. 1-0, let's sweep those Bucks out of Miami.

*You cannot be predator and victim at the same time. Case in point, a man goes about his business when some belligerent woman tries him. He continues minding his business, and she still won't leave him alone. A man can only take so much until he hauls off and slaps fire from her. Moral of story: Don't start what you can't finish.

*People are funny. They mistreat you, then take no responsibility for their offense. On top of that, they have the nerve to say "The Bible says forgive". Yes, the Bible says forgive, but...the Bible also says do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or, an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. Watch how fast they shut up.

*Jealousy is a disease, and so many people suffer from it.

*Say that Gary!

*Miami-Dade high school football is brutal. Settle for nothing, take everything. For many kids growing up in inner-city Miami, football is their exit route out of the ghetto, so I understand why football is of utmost importance in Miami.

*You can't be the predator & victim at the same time.

*I firmly believe that every woman isn't meant for motherhood, and every man isn't meant for fatherhood. All you have to do is google stories of children being abused by their so-called parents.

Real Talk Friday

1. Marriage is under attack. With the divorce rate topping 50% for first marriages. polygamy spreading like wildfire, and cohabitation, it won't be long before marriage dies permanently.

Quoted By Dick Johnson-The young people of today are all about themselves and are constantly wanting their spouse to wait on them hand and foot and give very little in return. Plus, they want to bail when things get a little rough and don't want to put in the WORK to have a healthy relationship. When you get two people with that same mentality in a relationship it's bound to fail. The problem is, the majority of today's generation is like that. If that mentality doesn't die, then marriage will die.

Thursday Protein

1. Hoes are for everybody, not just one person, why do you think they're referred to as such?

2. I've watched 3 Gangland Documentaries: One was about New Orleans' notorious Gotti Boys, a gang that controlled the infamous 3rd Ward (Magnolia, Melph and Calliope Projects). The other 2 were about Chicago's gang world. Chicago's gang culture is deeply entrenched.

3. Raphael Saadiq bringing back funk music like it never left:

4. I Remember Shirley Murdock's As We Lay. This is a great song to play when you want to cheat on the low:

5. To whom much is given, much is required.

6. Raphael Saadiq bringing that James Brown funky soul music sound back:

7. Oldie, but a goodie:

8. It's funny how a man isn't supposed to cry, but let one of his loved ones die, the waterworks come out.

9. A man will NEVER say "A happy husband equals a happy life" because that statement sounds stupid.

10. In today's society, men are becoming womanly and women are becoming manly. That's not the move.

11. If you don't live up to your expectations, you can become a statistic.

12. From Hondo Solomon: Pimping Is wack, and hoes don't last too long.

13. Much is required to whom much is given.

14. Famous quote from Miami Vice: Where there's drugs, there's violence.

15. If I could have two powers, it would be invisibility and mind-reading. I'd love to read people's minds to figure out why & how they think; and invisibility to be able to move in silence.

16. The Number 1 Rule to Crime: Don't draw attention to yourself. Move In Silence.

 

Wednesday Medicine

1. To me, helping someone entails giving them the tools to better themselves. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for life.

2. People who say, "I'm not your average (wo)man" are usually the average ones. You don't have to say "I'm not your average", it shows in your conduct.

3. Because we live in a fallen world, death is a part of life. So many people say, "I don't know what I'd do without my mom/father." If they raised you right, you know what to do. Follow their teachings.

4. Black On Black Murders are a sad reality. Make it so bad, white supremacist groups have fallen away from exterminating blacks.

5. Now that I think about it, Tookie should've been spared the death penalty. Think about it, he could've stopped the gang warfare in Los Angeles, because he's lived that lifestyle.

6. Chicago is going through what Los Angeles did in the 80s and early 90's, regarding to street wars.

7. The bonafide truth!

8. Quoted by Stop Simping Movement:

The only Disney movie that ever matters and is the best Disney movie of all time hands down, landslide victory was; The Lion King. It had a strong male lead not on some sucker shit. Unlike all other Disney movies. It taught accountability, ...standing up for what's right. Learn not to sweat your past, put it behind you. (Hakuna Matata dammit!) You gotta stand on your own feet. Have some Fucking courage. And above all else, to be a king, ya gotta claim your kingdom, kick anybody off your doorstep that you don't allow in your home.

9. A Happy Wife Equals A happy life ONLY if the woman is worth it. If no matter what a man does is good enough for her, all the prayer and love is useless.

10. Fellas, stop trying to change your woman into who you want her to be. You should've done your homework before you got involved with her.

11. You know something...the more stories I read about babies being raped and abused, the more I have reason NOT to bring children into this world. It's a baby for crying out loud! My goodness.

12. I'm ready for the NBA playoffs, time for Miami to have their First 3 peat.

13. Never will you hear a man say "A Happy husband equals a happy life" Why? Because it sounds stupid.

Tuesday Gospel

1. A Louisiana city has a pants-sagging ban that warrants $50 for the first offense, and $100 for any subsequent offense. That's interesting because the City Of Opa-Locka (Miami ghetto suburb) has the same ban, except you get a $250 fine. To each their own, I say. Just know that I don't, and will never sag.

2. Love & Sex are two different things. Sex is a physical act that doesn't require love for the person, which explains one-night stands. Love can lead to sex based on a mutual attraction. If there's strong chemistry between a man and woman, most times they want to graduate to the physical level.

3. There's a time to fight, and a time to live.

4. Women, take heed:

5. Amen On This!

6. Fake As all get out!

7. If you say real talk after your statements, does that mean everything you say in the future is fake?

8. Prayers go up for the Boston region. They are going through it right now. It's God that more people weren't killed in those 2 blasts.

9. Everybody coming out with their own reality show, maybe I should come out with my own show. No, because people would know all my business, and I can't have that.

10. Some men want a woman to give him the world, but he doesn't have the proper documentation.

11. Go, even if you have to go by yourself.

12. Quoted By Marina Woods: It's amazing to me how divided this nation is on what is considered child discipline which really is borderline child abuse. There are many who quote Scriptures like spare the rod spoil the child but these same people are having children outside of marriage. #justobservingoutloud

 

Monday Medicine

1. Some women complain that all men are the same: Well, if women want different, they have to be different.

2. It's suspect for a man to be jealous of another man. An example is when a man has the woman another guy wants. There's hundreds of women for every dozen or so men. Jealousy is not a good look, man or woman.

3. A man's home is his castle. It's the one place where he should have peace. If a man can't have peace in his own home, that's bad. He needs to get a new helpmate.

4. I know everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it helps to know why.

5. 42 was a great movie about Jackie Robinson. In a game filled with racial division, Jackie MADE people respect him.

6. Everything that glitters isn't gold, and everything that's old isn't rusty.

7. Just because someone's older, doesn't always mean they have more wisdom.

8. A woman can be different, but some guys will remain the same.

9. If women don't want men telling them what to do with their body, they shouldn't get upset when men get vasectomies.

10. Iyanla should have checked DMX Saturdaynight for trying her like that. She trying to help him, and he flares up at her like a man.

11. The swastika originated as a peace symbol in Asia centuries ago, until the Nazis corrupted it, and started using the symbol for evil.

12.
