Flip the script

I suppose it was inevitable that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would be come an iconic couple. A lot has been written about their date nights, affection towards one another in public, and the history of how they came to be.

It all brings a discussion about love, romance, and marriage, especially among African Americans that sheds some light on our attitudes. One particular article that has made its rounds on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites is from the Washington’s Post interactive site, The Root. It was entitled What Single Women Can Learn from Michelle.

Of course it doused gasoline on an already hot fire of debate between men and women, which is always annoying fun and informative.  I actually thought the article made some excellent points. I just thought it would be vindictive fun and informative to flip the script a little:

What can single men learn from President Obama?

Do you think that we place too much blame on each other for the state of dating, marriage, and divorce?

Are we not all culpable when things don’t succeed?

Is it important for society to have a couple for us to believe in love and romance? Is it to give the children hope or are the grown ups clinging to the idea too?

*Note this is not an opportunity to bash First Lady Michelle Obama. Let’s keep things adult.

This is one of MANY!!!

Didn’t you dig the way I rubbed yo back girl
Wasn’t it cool when I first kissed yo lips
Was it enough to illuminate you dark world
Or were you embarrassed about the way you freaked
Well I wanna hold you
I wanna know you baby
If it’s alright…….

Gonna take you in the room suga’
lock you up and love for days
We gonna be rockin’ baby til the cops come knockin’
Papa gonna have to leave a message on the
telephone baby
There won’t be no stoppin’ me til the cops come knockin’

Six on a Thursday night ‘n you be jonesin’ baby
For a brother to hold you tight n’ keep on going
Last lover came n’ went didn’t even hug n’ kiss n’
caress you
Gimme a call it’s cool the M’s all open
I’m open wider than oceans
I’ll be your lotion
If It’s alright….

Please you tease you eat you
Make you feel so good inside
Loving you long if that’s alright

Makes me WISH I lived with my man EVERY time I hear this song!

W8 I have so many of those I can’t count. But I will give you two

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

It’s not about the “sex” per se, its just that after that long, I don’t see her in the same way.

If we’ve been kickin it like “friends” the emotional attachment is there, but I’m (likely) no longer physically attracted.

I have all of Maxwell’s cds and I like them all…it’s trying to pick a favorite child…..you just can’t. Nice music though….I saw him at the Fox theater a long time ago and when he sang “This Woman’s Work” I remember leaning over on this “queens” shoulder crying and he started fanning me saying to his other “sister” Oooh chile we loosing her!!

And…

I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I’ve been laying here praying, praying she won’t call
It’s just another call from home
And you’ll get it and be gone and I’ll be crying

And I’ll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave
But I’ll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we’ll be here
Seems like a million years and I think I’m dying
What do I have to do to make you see she can’t love you like me?

Why don’t you stay? I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely, don’t I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way, baby, why don’t you stay? Yeah

You keep telling me, baby there will come a time
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
But I don’t think that’s the truth
And I don’t like being used and I’m tired of waiting
It’s too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share

Why don’t you stay? I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely, don’t I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way, baby, why don’t you stay?

I can’t take it any longer but my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute after all that I’ve put in it
I’ve given you my best, why does she get the best of you?
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don’t you stay? I’m up off my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely, you can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way, baby, why don’t you stay?

Weight not exactly my favorite but I just listened to it a few minutes ago and it could move me on the right day, so I will post this one.

After All

There there was a time I knew
That no matter, what may come,
love would prevail.

And then inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fear
Can true love fail

Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven’t I sung to you
Of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you

CHORUS:
Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms

Then I believe there wasn’t ever a real attraction to begin with.. What you think?

Lioness – I had a friend come to town this weekend. We’ve played cat and mouse for years and have been attracted to each other. Distance, timing etc were always factors.

The first night he stayed with me, I knew that we weren’t going to do it. Though not for lack of effort on my part. Though we were friends and had known each other for years and he’s fine as all outdoors, that ship has sailed for me. In addition, I couldn’t even say were were dating or headed towards a relationship. Not good for my libido. :lol:

The attraction is definitely there, just for me, I require more than that.

(The way I felt, after the Death of my first love…A lonely place to be.)

Falling victim from neglect
Designed thoughts and intellect
Forgotten and displaced
The crux of my dismay
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
Hoow deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?
Deeper into this abyss
Weighted down and sinking fast
Life did not offer me
More than false destiny
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
How deep I descend?
Until I Reach my end?
How deep I descend?
I am nothing
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
Nothing…
How deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

(Miss you) Mmm, hmm
Every since you went away
I ain’t been doing nothing but
(Thinking, thinking) (2x)
With my head in my hands
(Thinking)
You been away from so long
and I just don’t think I can carry on so I start
(Drinking, drinking) (2x)
Each and every night

Don’t look so sad I know its over
But life goes on and this world keeps on turning
Let’s just be glad we have this time to spend together
There is no need to watch the bridges that were burning

[Chorus:]
Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blow softly against my window pain late at night

Make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times
I’ll get along I’m sure youll find another
But baby please remember I’ll be here
I’m gone stay right here if you should ever find that you need me
Don’t say a word about tomorrow forever and ever and ever
There will be time enough for severence when you need me

I’ve waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it’s exactly like I thought it would be

Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it’s sore
Come on get closer
So close to me
Let’s get lost in each other
Come here baby

I’ve waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it’s exactly like I thought it would be

“As”

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always
As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky—ALWAYS
Until the ocean covers every mountain high—ALWAYS
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea—ALWAYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be loving you always
As today I know I’m living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind Cause I’ll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day—ALWAYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away—ALWAYS
Until the day that 8×8x8 is 4—ALWAYS
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you’re loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left—ALWAYS
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I’ll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through—ALWAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you—AL~~~~~~WA~~
~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky~~~~~AA~~~~
~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~YS~~ALWAYS

We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you’re in it but not of it
You’re not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children’s grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I’ll be loving you

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky–Loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high–Loving you
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea–Loving you
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream–Be loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day–Loving you
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away–Loving you
Until the day that 8×8x8×8 is 4–Loving you
Until the day that is the day that are no more–Loving you
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left–Be loving you
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself–Loving you
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through–Loving you
Until the day that you are me and I am you–
Now ain’t that loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Ain’t that loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
And I’ve got to say always
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea~~AL~~~WA~~~AYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream-Um AL~~WA~~AYS
Until the day is night and night becomes the day-AL~~~~WA~~AYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away-AL~~WA~~~AA~~~~~
Until the day that 8×8x8 is 4~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA
Until the day that is the day that are no more-AA~~~~AA~~AA~~~AYS
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left-AL~~~WA~~~A~~~AA
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself-~~AA~~~AA~~~AA~~~AYS
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through-AL~~~WAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8×8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you

Poppa – That & Somethin Somethin are my favorite Maxwell songs! So sexy!

Did anyone of you hear Al B Sure on Tom Joyner this morning? Okay, I am not his biggest fan, but his voice was to DIE FOR, so deep on the radio! He said he’s been doing radio & working behind the scenes for awhile now & his new cd dropped today. Think it’s called Baby, I’m Home. They played excerts from it – sounded fabulous!

You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker,
Lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a
Mistake yes I fell in love with this ill chick
Sweatin’ me for money, my name and the dilsnick
My homeboys told me to drop her for it would be to my benefit
She used to say I’d better quit hanging with those derelects
Romancing is my thing but I can’t swing with no scheming hoes
Wherever my beema goes you know that I’m driving
Surviving in the 90’s is a must so I trust
That everyone listen up as my vocals give thrust
I bust my rhymes first never chasing a skirt
Do much work while other suckas need more time to rehearse
Now back to the ex-girls, ex-lovers, ex-friends
It made me mad to find that she was only after my ends
She phones me and goes on about her new life now
I wish she knew right now
I think she’s busted let’s discuss it
When I was with her no trust, just fights
Just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights
Bow I got my new girl or as I say my baby doll
But I’m still gettin’ crazy calls, my ex-girl’s got balls
Don’t wanna play the field ’cause I get lovin’ at home base
Don’t gimme no long face just exit with a grace
You and I are the past, c’est la vie, much respect girl
But now you’re my ex-girl ’cause I’m on with the next girl

She had much loot liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear
Liked to have me near ’cause of my svoir faire
The time we shared was brief ’cause I needed relief
From her high-classed antics and all her conceit
Now she’s crying wolf and I like don’t wanna hear that
I told her the bear facts when things started out
She wines and she pouts about how I did her bad
Yo but she’d tried to buy me
Even tempt me with the hiney
I fell for a sec ’cause the clothes were real fly
I could almost feel i
Would give into her whims
Her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature
I told her hey look I can no longer date ya
Tried to pimp with bank and fell short, your ship sank
Many thanks for the time and the watch and the link
You and I are the past, c’est la vie, nuff respect girl
But now you’re my ex-girl ’cause I’m straight with the next girl

Afternoon All! I wont try to catch up now, I’ll just jump right in. Plenty of songs I can think of but this one comes to mind first:

A Song for You by Donnie Hathaway

I’ve been so many places in my life and time
I’ve sung a lot of songs
I’ve made some bad rhymes
I’ve acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we’re alone now and I’m singing this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me
Baby can’t you see through me
Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love , Withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I’m so much better
And if my words dont come together
Listen to the melody
Cuz my love is in there hiding

(Piano Break)

I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I love you for my life
You’ re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

The Truth

Spoken : Let me tell you why I love him

Chorus:
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly because
His light it shines so bright I wouldn’t lie

Verse 1:
I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It’s almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,things I don’t like about him are fine with me
Cause it’s not hard for me to understand him cause he’s so much
like me
And it’s truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it’s God’s gift to breathe
The air he breathes

Verse 2:
How can the same man that makes me so mad
Do you know what he did-(Spoken)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
Girl do you know what he did-(Spoken)
If he ever left me I wouldn’t even be sad no
Cause there’s a blessin’ in every lesson
And I’m glad that I knew him at all

Bridge, Break-down, & Ending :
I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
From personal to universal but most of all
It’s unconditional

You know what I’m talking about-(Spoken)
That’s the way I feel
And I always will-(Spoken)

There ain’t no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn’t
(Cause he is the truth)
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn’t
(Cause he is the truth)
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because he is, yes he is

Slowly comin’ into view yeah

Ah yes I am

Alright now yes

The latest OSS pics are out and my verdict is OSS seems to be getting worse and worse,ever since it started.Or is it that my eyes are getting old??
Most of the females are Huge,have shiny weaves on, but they still look tired,whats up with that? Nobody with natural hair, fresh facial look etc,nobody! Everybody getting tired like me??
But im loving the chest areas…,really wonderful to behold!! :grin:
I guess its that case of not having ur cake and eating it.
Neva mind a pretty face too too much,i can work with a reasonable size ample bosoom myself as long as the lady has a nice smile and a good attitude and class.
I’ll try to make the next event.

One song that moves me:

The time is right
I’m gonna pack my bags
And take that journey down the road
Cause over the mountain I see the bright sun shinning
And I want to live inside the glow
Yeah

I wanna go to place where I am nothing and everything
That exists between here and nowhere
I wanna got to a place where time has no consequence oh yeah
The sky opens to my prayers

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

Please understand that it’s not that I don’t care
But right know these walls are closing in on me
I love you more than I love life itself

But I need to find a place were I can breathe
I can breathe
I wanna go to place were I can hold the intangible
And let go of the pain with all my might

I wanna go to a place where I am suspended in ecstasy
Some where between dark and light
Where wrong becomes right

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

POPPA…”You know Melo’s angle. Why are you trying to make him think otherwise?” You are SO right! Thanks for being my logic! :lol:

W8….a song that is special to me is…

It’s quiet as it is tonight
You’d almost think you were saved
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars
There’s something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go

I bet you couldn’t
I bet you couldn’t recognize but I’ve been hidin’ to it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I’ll get through it and you won’t even realize
Falling through your own disguise

It’s like over and over you’re pushing me
Right down to the floor
I should just walk away.
Over and over I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can ride on me right through your smile
I’ve seen behind your eyes
Now it’s over, the more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do

This song moves me also

Kem- I can’t stop loving you

I think about the day I met the perfect stranger
I think about us
And I think about the day I got wrapped around your finger
I think about us
The sun was shining on you
The Lord was smiling on me
And love was calling us
I had my mind made up
I can?t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you
No matter what I tell myself baby
Never thought I?d love anyone else
In my weakness
I think about us
And I think about the day you left without speaking
I think about us
I think about the love we had for our children
I think about us
I think about the way we laughed without a reason
I think about us girl
There will be no more lies
Somebody tell me why I feel like I?m dieing
Lord what?s come over me?
Ooh baby can’t you see that?.
I can?t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you (I can?t get over you baby)
No matter what I tell myself baby (No matter what I tell myself baby)
I can?t stop loving you girl (I can?t stop loving you girl)
No matter how hard I try (No matter how hard I try)
And I can’t get over you (I can?t get over you baby)
And I don?t know why
I think about us (repeat 7x)
I can’t get over you baby
Girl?
