Men Without Fear
After checking out the Professional Bull Riders’ official website, I am getting even more excited about seeing the riders in action. There is something about a man whose job is dangerous that is so, well intriguing, masculine, admirable, I could go on!
Seriously, can you imagine talking to someone about their day at work when he does something like this?
I always wonder, what motivates a man or woman to take on a dangerous career? Why do they do it and what does that mean about their seemingly fearless character?
I’ve dated a policeman and a fireman and I can remember having an ongoing uneasy feeling when they went to work. I can’t imagine living with that anxiety all the time if I were to marry into a dangerous career. Yeah, the uniforms were hot, but could I really handle all that comes with being with them?
What do you think of the men and women who work in a risky career? What about the daredevils who have some pretty dangerous hobbies? Does it take a special kind of person to date them?
Would daredevils need to seek out other people who are equally as fearless? Is that a case where opposites attract won’t apply?
Guys, what do you think about women who have dangerous careers that require they are physically strong? Could you handle it? Is she just as sexy and appealing to you as other professions?
P.S. If you have questions that you would like our PBR guide, Flint Rasmussen to answer let me know! You can see him in action here and here. Talk about a man without fear!?

ForReal, what we were talking about is confidence and how people use it, the word, as a means for them not caring or being concerned with who the mate deals with or who approaches their mate.
It’s like when you ask a woman “hey you don’t care that that woman right there is approaching your man” and the woman answers “no. I am confident in my relationship. I am not the jealous type.”
It’s the wrong place to use it. It hurts instead of helps. It’s no difference than when a person who is confident and built up in their working abilities to the point of not doing as well as they could or should therefore unknowingly creating a bad situation for themselves.
I think we all know at least one person that made the statement “ah man, she/he ain’t going nowhere” as a response to someone questioning their actions toward their mate or their indiscretions with another.
Yeah it could be looked at from one point as taking for granted but in this instance it’s a matter of using something where it doesn’t really belong. You have to put in the work and not get lazy. I don’t care how much you believe in yourself relationships take work. And concerned and showing it to a certain degree is part of that work.

All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you
Now that I’m on my own
I know that in time I’ll find somebody new
Who’ll treat me better than you
So now that I’m all alone without you
But I still love you
You know I’ll never live without you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you
I wish you’d change your ways soon enough
So we can be together
You just don’t understand the word love
But now all we have is memories
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you

Hi, My name is SexyCool and I am a sugar addict. Today is my first day that I have not indulged my afternoon vending machine habit. I ask all those that know the words of prayer to please pray my strength. I think I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

I know some don’t like Michael Baisden, but listening to his show last night he said he see’s nothing wrong with an ex receiving a kiss on the cheek over the holidays in front of your SO or if you’re dropping the child off. Whatcha think? Personally, it is plain disrespectful to do that in front of your SO.

I got my toolbox, got my booster cables, and jack
I get where I’m goin, two quarts of oil will get me back
I got a brand new radiator
Rebuilt alternator
Detatchable tape player
But I gotta fix the fader
So I can have some music on the 6-10 loop
Maybe fit in with the L-Dogs, sedans, and coupes
Need to watch out for them laws cuz you know they gon watch ya
With their radar gun, look like they shootin as they clock ya
And the whole force know me
For years they been scopin
They walk up to my car and be like “hello Mr Copeland”
“Gimme some of that weed you got” sometimes they don’t ask for it
They know where I keep it, they reach right under my dashboard
And that really blows my high but hell I gotta keep pushin
Before I go home with the nut off of my seat cushion
I went looking for a trade-in but they called my $hit a bucket
Got back in that hoe, and cranked it up and said fcuk it
I’m rollin
Car not stolen
Probably never will be it’s much to old and
Smokin weed and feelin fine
In my Lacville 79
I’m rollin
Gas runnin low
But I try to keep it white and Vogue’s like foldin
Hopin freaks will get inside of my Lacville 79

Leggs, I think it’s disrespectful also. Why you got to be kissing on folks that you have had former relations with? I wonder if he thinks it’s also okay to be receiving kisses from a present crush in front of the S/O.
Either way it’s wrong. Being cordial can be pulled off without exchanges pecks.

I heard Baisden’s show yesterday. I really hoped he was being tongue in cheek. Then that chick called in where her ‘babydaddy’ has called to see if he can come to dinner at her family’s house this year when he never wanted to while they were together. Her messy tail has said she is going to let him attend, talking about her current man ain’t ‘puttin’ it down.’
Triflin’ chicks make me sick.

I will say this…some of that mess Michael Baisden say is not for the average man or the average wallet. I think a kiss on the cheek to your ex in front of your SO will get the average person
cursedcussed the hell out.If you are in that lifestyle eating tiny watercress sandwich…ginger sugar cookies and the butler is bringing you hot tea…GO AT IT, and do the kiss on the cheek, but if you just got the hook up on an EBT card and your greens are bubbling on the stove and you NOT the “help” is cooking the holiday meal you better leave that alone.

You are right Melo. He loves to use the line “You mean to tell me….”. He knows half of the stuff he tries to convince people on he won’t tolerate himself.

Baisden’s statement leads into Raqi’s Men Without Fear. A man kissing his ex in front of her new man may find himself pinned against a wall. I jest, grown folk don’t do things like that!

Confidence in what, Professor? What the hell folks trying to prove kissing and accepting kisses from the exes? Even hugs for that matter.
I guess if the person is a feely touchy person like that it don’t really mean anything.

Was that directed at the one who said insecure?…If so, lemme help ya…
I’m talking to someone in paticular…Helped now?
Okay lurker, read it again…”Does it seem like a less secure person”?
maybe the word itself got caught in “not directed at you”…
