This is just a random little something that has been on my mind for a while now. (side note...is it just me or do other people giggle and take a pause when they say "a while" because of that Family Guy episode?)
I know people love to be in love and share their love with everyone, everywhere, all the time. That, I truly do get. But all this mushy, baby, love you so much, sleeping right next to him/her, best boyfriend or girlfriend in the world etc. thing is becoming a bit annoying. No, I'm lying. I promised I would be honest with you guys all the time...It's become very annoying.
I love all my friends and I'm happy that they are happy and so in love. But the constant posting of relationship meme's and quotes and whatever else that expresses your love for your partner is just becoming too much for me. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way but I might be in the minority, when it comes to being upfront about it.
Maybe I am old school and don't feel the need to broadcast my love, infatuation or whatever to the masses all the time. Maybe I am old school and don't want everyone knowing my business...especially personal things like my relationship. I like to keep that info close to my chest (pun intended). Where only a handful of people know what's up. Now of course I might post pics here and there and talk about the great trip we had but you won't see update after update after update about me and my "boo" ever.
I love that you are happy and on Cloud 9 so to speak. Hell I'm a romantic at heart as well. I just think that you don't have to keep shoving it down people's throats, that you are happy and in love. We know you are...if we know you, we know you are happy and it's great!
I find that younger or new couples do this A LOT! It can be wonderful to shout it from the facebook mountain top (so to speak) of your love for one another. But please, please...for all that is sane and just being cool with your friends (whom you might be ditching for this wonderful lover of yours) stop giving us play by play of your love! Am I a hater? Nope. Do your thang by all means. Just maybe realize that not everyone wants to hear about your love all the time, every status, every day. This thinking can go for people with new babies as well. I'm going to be honest again here...not everyone cares to see every 30 pics you take of your child a day. Most don't care after the first 3 for the first 2 years of your kids life either. A pic here and there, growth update, new clothes, once a month deal is fine.
I'm sure someone will be offended by this post. Guess what, I don't care! If you are a friend of mine, then you shouldn't be offended because I've always thought this way...nothing new at all. If you are for some reason offended, sounds like a personal problem that you can update your status about.

A Good Man
I'm really tired of women saying "there are no good men" around. That is not true. It's a lie. Know how I know this? Because I know a bunch of good men and they are all on my facebook and most of them are single. So what is your excuse now?!
I am not here to stand on a soapbox about hurting a good guy and messing him up for the rest of us. Nope. Not doing that. What I am going to briefly do is tell you about a good man I knew and loved.
In the middle of a crazy young dating life, I met a good man. We became fast friends and an even faster couple. Back then FB, Twitter, Instagram and all the social medias weren't as popular. So there were never pics of us plastered all over the place. No annoying mushy status updates. Hell, we barely had cell phones! When we were together there were no distractions from these things. And only a handful of people knew about us and that was fine. Close friends saw our happiness. There was no need to post it all over the world to prove it. We went through 9/11 together. So many things happened while we were together. He set a high standard for everyone else that came after him.
He was a good man. Even after a good long year together, we decided to part ways. Never any ill will towards one another. Always supportive, protective and cared about one another. We remained friends all these years. He went on to have a beautiful family with his gorgeous wife. I was always proud of him for being an outstanding father, husband and friend.
They say, the good ones leave too soon and the troublemakers stay around forever. I am starting to believe this very much. My good friend went home to Heaven this past Sunday.
You don't get many chances to meet amazing people in this life. But when you do, you have to cherish it. Who cares if the relationship didn't last forever. Who cares if they only want to keep you as a friend and nothing more. Who cares if they came in and out of your life in a very short time. None of that matters. What matters is the time you had with them. You shouldn't forget it. Hold it in your heart. Hold them in your soul. Because when it's all over and you go on your own way, you can never get that back with that exact person.
If you have a good man in your life...friend, husband, lover etc....please please please, support them in whatever they are doing. Encourage them to keep being a good man. Watch out for them when evil bitches want to sink their claws into them, thus ruining them down the road. Love and adore them. Give them a reason to be proud of being THE GOOD GUY! It's not easy for them in this messed up superficial world. So many times are they are pressured to change who they are to satisfy everyone else. Embrace your good guys and let them know, if no one else appreciates who they are, you do and you always will.
People come into our lives for a reason. My good friend came into my life to show me what a good man is and how i deserve to be treated. I will forever be grateful to him for that. Time is fleeting, embrace the ones you love now...or at the very least drop them a fb wall post so they know you still hope the best for them.
dedicated to my dear friend Al, who is smiling up in heaven now, with the best kicks in the clouds!
