He Says, She Says : It Just Doesn't Work * A Poem*

She Says:
He used to be so romantic, he would give me candle light dinners
I was amused by his antics, I thought I found a winner.
Now all he does is park his ass on the couch
and when I ask him what's wrong he says he doesnt know what I'm talking about.

He doesnt talk to me, he doesnt take me out
then he wants to sleep with me when he retires from his couch
he's hardly ever home and when he is here?
he makes me feel like I forced him to be, and it just isn't fair.

He Says:
She used to laugh at all my silly jokes
then she brought all of our problems to her girlfriends and folks.
now feel like a stranger in my own house
so I take my place quietly on the living room couch.

I try to step away from my man made island
but when I try to sleep with her, she makes me feel guilty for trying
she says that the way I treat her is so unfair
but if she doesnt want me with her, then why am I here?

She Says:
I used to try talk to him, but he didn't want to listen
I'm giving up on us, because I've grown too tired of wishing
If he really does love me, he won't let me go
So I'm going to leave him, because that's the only way I'll know.

He Says:
I want to tell her how I feel, but I don't know what to say
Each time I try to talk to her, she takes everything the wrong way
I tried to give her what she wanted. I thought what she wanted was me.
But she said she wants to go, and I love her... so I'll set her free.

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

When History Repeats Itself...

My mom raised three kids on her own. My close friend Sandra's* mom raised two kids on her own. My friend Lana* is a product of a married household. Let me tell you some more facts: I am now a single mom raising two kids on my own. My sister is a single mother raising two kids. Sandra is a single mom raising three kids on her own. Lana is married, with two children and more often than not, a stay at home mom. Lets take a look closer: My husband has always told me that I was destined to be a single mother. It is his belief that I didn't put in the effort required to keep our marriage afloat because I was far too receptive to being a single mother since that was the type of household that I came from. This may be true. I have no idea what a working marriage looks like since I wasn't the product of one. One of my brothers who grew up with my rolling stone of a father informed me that many of the flaws my husband had were the same flaws our father had. I found this to...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...
