The House That Love Built * Poem*

He moved me to do things that I hadn't done.

Highway drives, random rides, he was up for fun.

He held my hand as we listened to tunes.

We would chat about politics, friends, and news.

Conversation just flowed with any topic we'd choose.

He would puff on natural stuff, and I would drink all the booze.

I'd play in his hair and he would always close his eyes and smile.

We'd escape in our place and allow our passion to run wild.

Our hearts moved inches and then soared for miles.

He wanted us to pour our love into making a child.

But then there was the fighting, and the hurt feelings.

The light that shone on us fell hard from loves ceiling.

Loves walls were crumbling and the paint was peeling.

Love was breaking down faster than we could do the healing

We couldn't buy back all the happiness the drama was stealing

God wouldn't answer our prayers so we both quit kneeling.

Each day resentment would continue to build.

day by day until our house was filled

and we couldnt see what we worked to create.

we couldnt change the new house, it was just too late.

Moving out was so hard to do.

loves house didn't just change...he did too.

we often asked each other: "who are you?"

we would claim to be the same, but it just wasn't true.

Then one day, it was just done.

I had him, and then I had no one.

the house that love built, was just a memory.

of me and him, except he was a she.

Relationships are relationships.
Love is love.

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...

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 ...

Geek of The Week: Meet Anthony, Creator of the Geek Forum That's Taking Facebook By Storm

I met Anthony about two decades ago, and I'm being stingy with the time so not to reveal how ancient I truly am. We were high school kids in New York and life was fast paced. I never realized how unique he was because New York is full of diversity and well...eclectic people. Years later, I came to appreciate him in all his geekiness and realized that we had a common thread in all things geek and freak. So he is my geek of the week. Anthony has spearheaded a group called Gamers Geeks and Comic Book Freaks , or GGCF if you're nasty... or geeky. This group allows all sorts of gamers, comic book lovers and self proclaimed geeks to share intellectual discussion, gaming advice, comic book news and more. It's the place on Facebook where all the geeks go and believe me, there is an army of them. Joining the group is pretty easy...just ask. Anthony has created many different forums within the group itself so he can direct you to the page that works best for you. In addition to ...
