ReplyDeleteI'm up early today....430. I gotta get it in before I deal with anything else. I've been in NY for 2 yrs and its finally starting to come together. Me with a show....who would've thought?lol
ReplyDeleteHi Brandon, my name is Melissa and I would like to comment about one of your upcoming topics, "Does Sex Mean We're Together". Sex is an act, love is an emotion and intimacy is something beyond. Love is a one way street. Have you found yourself in a relationship that you felt you were not being loved in return the same way you loved your significant other. Well they didn't love you! Love does not require mutual feelings between two persons. It is an emotion independent of condition. Sex follows along this same route. Sex is an act of desire. Don't misplace the context of this desire. It is not for you as a person. It is a desire based solely on lust. It is organic to all species. It is organic in our nature. All species need sex. It feels great! If the "with you" thought helps you swallow the act of desire and makes it easier for us to get it, than why stop your thought? You feel better about it and we get what we want. Who looses? Intimacy is beyond all this. It is in intimacy where we are concerned with "whom" you are not "what" you fulfill. Sex, Love, and Intimacy are types of relationships but we just need to figure which one we fall into. What type are you in?
ReplyDeleteOkay, about the gambles with internet dating...I'm a fan of using the internet to meet new people. But people we do have to realize that just because these people are on the internet, it does not mean they're being genuine.
ReplyDeleteEveryday we deal with people and maybe your one of these people...the type of person trying to fit a mold or what you aspire to be. There are three types of self. There is the person we are, the person we pretend to be and the person we aspire to be.
Here is the difference. The person we are is the person we are behind closed doors when no one else is around to influence our actions. The person we pretend to be is our facade. It is the person we want people to see...the person we feel will be accepted or admired. The person we aspire to be is the person we look at and say to ourselves, "I wish I was like him/her". Let's be real people, we all have a moment whether we say it aloud or in our heads where we see someone who we are just in awe of. It's called a little jealousy. A little bit is a good thing...it’s just another form of motivation.
People on the internet, as in everyday life are confronting the same inner battles between these concepts of self. The internet is just another media where we can express these battles.
But beyond this, there are those who have it together and are truly self-aware of who they are...you know if you found that person if looks, conversation, and lifestyle is coherent with each other...Do you measure up?
OK I see where you are coming from Melissa. So you believe sex, love, and intimacy are 3 separate relationships.
ReplyDeletePersonally I believe that intimacy is what bridges the gap between having sex and making love. The connection that makes a person go from being just physical attracted to an individual to being completely attracted....meaning mind and body.
People try to dismiss intimacy because that's what brings about the emotional "burdens" of sex. I jokingly say "burdens", because men and women avoid it, so they want feel vulnerable. But my saying is, "Time Spent is Feelings Made". There's no way to avoid it.
If you spend enough time with somebody sharing happy and joyful moments, then by association, you will associate that person to making you happy. Which will inevitably cause you to catch feelings, which will lead to intimate moments, which will in turn cause you to make passionate LOVE.
I KNOW, I KNOW....SUCK DON'T IT.LOL
THANKS FOR SHARING
Oh yeah, I'm in a sexual relationship right now. I'm too gangsta for all that mushy stuff.lol
ReplyDelete(Somebody has their defense up)
Can't wait for the show. It would be great for you to continue your post about intimacy as a show topic.
ReplyDeleteOk I see you're making me work today. :-)
ReplyDeleteDo I feel like I measure up?
You know what? I do feel like I measure baby.
DISCLAIMER:
I apologize if I take this waaay deeper than you wanted me to.lol
You know....
Before I embarked on my journey to chase this dream, I had to sit down with myself. No, I had to really sit down and decide if this was the right thing for me. I mean lets be honest, you can bullshit people all day, but to move from Alabama to NY, you better not bullshit yourself.
The reality of it all is, "Me making it is not guaranteed." It's so many ex factors and elements you can't even calculate. All you have is your preparation and your faith. People come to NY your with big dreams and find themselves just barely getting by. Some people can't handle that. Some panic when things don't go according to plan or in time frame they intended.
I made two promises to myself....
1. I wouldn't jeopardize my morals or integrity for this money
and
2. The day I have to get a 9 to 5, I would leave NY.
Anything else....they can bring it.lol
All and all, I've put myself in a position where I was force to know who I am, or be force to learn, who I am, with the highs and lows of trying to make a dream a reality.
But whatever anyone decides to do, they need to come to grips with who they are, what they want to become, and how they plan to become it. But at the same time being realistic with themselves.
AND THAT'S SOME REAL TALK WITH BRANDON
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
Reading the news online today I came across the Plaxico Burress indictment. Plaxico Burress is charged and pleaded guilty to the attempted criminal possession of a weapon…a charge that he is to serve 2 years of incarceration.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the duration of his incarceration is excessive and not efficient.
It seems as though the media and us the general public hunt for a great story to unravel but we fail to realize we are the ones who upheld the storyline in the first place. If Plaxico Burress wasn’t the man to make the amazing touchdown of the final seconds of the 2008 NFL Superbowl…would we even care to report about him? The answer is no. We put these titles of celebrity and role models on our athletes and are the first ones to strip it away but only after we hunt for their demise. I think there is a better approach.
If we are to put these titles on these human beings (yes their human not immortal perfect in every aspect of their being), then we should understand that the risk of fault in their actions also exists. We should not take away this title of role model as a consequence, but find an approach that leads us to embrace the effectiveness of such a title. What use will the 2 years of incarceration pose other than as a show of shock therapy to youths… if you possess an unregistered criminal weapon – this is what happens. Please, that won’t reach enough or have a big enough impact.
We are only applying an extinction ideology here. We are saying don’t do it because I said so and watch, here is your punishment for not listening.
So we take away the person only leaving us to search for a new person to fill their place. Why not let that person truly fill their place. Let us listen to them not just watch them.
I’m not trying to propose a slap on the wrist as an alternative. Yes, some time should be prescribed for the offense – less than what was handed out though. In exchange for that decreased sentence the mandate to speak out informing on the harm of not being safe with arms should be in place. For example, let him serve a minimum of 6 months to a year. Let there be a mandate for an additional year of actively informing on the risks of not securing a weapon and the dangers that may arise…commercials, public awareness at high schools and elementary schools. We have had plenty of incidences where children are accidentally causing harm because they think guns and other weapons are cool harmless toys.
Let’s be more effective, really. Everyone will benefit.
I THK MELISSA WANTS TO BE YOUR CO-HOST
ReplyDeleteWhat's the thought on Whitney Houston is she the new Natalie M. Cole comeback story?
ReplyDelete...co-host...lol, not at all...just like to converse.
Whether its Plaxico, Vick, Kobe, T.I. or any high profile talent, there's an unwritten responsibility place upon all of them.
ReplyDeleteEverything comes with a cost, especially when you are idealized by the public. Is that fair to the individual to have this responsibility place on them that they didn't even ask for? It doesn't matter. Its not about what's fair, it's about 'what it is'.
The responsibility is even greater when your a black role model. And it's time to stop pretending like they don't know that. Sure they can act like they don't care, but when they get caught up and that judge try to give them the maximum penalty he can, then they're in court looking crazy.
"Do you really think they care about what you feel like is fair?"
Hell No, it's just good entertainment for all forms of media to watch the downfall of a success person....Please know that.
I'm not saying you have to be an angel, but my Bible says, "To whom much has been given, much will be expected"
And that's some Real Talk with Brandon
Be good
Hey Brandon, good to know that you have a date for the show. Good luck on the first day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin
ReplyDeleteHey Everyone,
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was at the West Indian Parade, and it was a wonderful experience. My beautiful black people celebrating their heritage, and just proud of being who they are. Even though there were several different countries representing in the parade, everybody was showing love.
Ok Ok, maybe not everybody. There was a couple of fights.
Ok Ok there was a lot of fights, but I most say the party didn't stop.lol
If you've never experience the West Indian Day Parade, it might be something to consider. NOW, if you don't like crowds and is easily annoyed...PLEASE STAY YA ASS AT HOME.
But if you're into celebrating who you are and where your from with great food, loud music, and a lot of energy, then this is an event worth checking out.
Brandon, after meeting and speaking with you for an hour or so Monday evening, I am certain that you will be a great success! You are very perceptive and really have an ear for relationship type issues... and I am certain that I gave you at least 3-4 shows worth of material, as well as have lots more for you!
ReplyDeleteAll the best in your new adventure!!
Nancy
Super proud of you! Can't tell me I don't have an eye for talent! ;-) Much love bro! Don't ever hesitate to holla if ever you need anything!
