R.I.P. - Baby Suarez ... My heart will forever remember! ... (2003)
(I may not like to talk about it, but I have to learn to accept that this is reality ... and there..s nothing worse than a person who can..t face their own reality ... so, if you want to know, just ask)
Wha..s tha deal, MySpace? Thanks for stoppin.. by Suarez..s place!
I want to hear from YOU ... so hit me up! BUT if you want me to respond sooner, then make sure you give me a reason to WANT to get at you (broaden my horizon a little)! ... (just a lil.. secret ... it also wouldn..t hurt to have pics on ur page either). ALSO, I know it will take a little longer to do this, but because I'm sick of stupid ass SPAMMERS trying to add me as a friend, you've gotta send me a message asking me for my email addy before adding me as a friend now. Or if you just send me a note of any substance, I'll probably just add you myself. Sorry for any inconvenience, but if MYSPACE can't stop this harassment, I'll stop it MYSELF!
Anyway, WELCOME again to my space! I know some of you may be saying to yourselves that MySpace has been loaded with more BS than anything, and I definitely feel where you..re comin.. from about folks of substance on here so far ... they..re few and far between. Sadly enough though, I think it..s just a reflexion in this mirror of life that we call reality. It..s not too many people ANYwhere that..s of any substance anymore, so I can..t blame MySpace for following suit! I can..t say that I..m here tryin.. to make any type of difference or be an example for anyone ... I..m just being ME. My "space", though I may change it sometimes, will never be "flashy", because I..m not a flashy person. No new backgrounds ... no video of the week ... JUST ME. It will represent ME to the best of MY ability ... you..ll see pictures ... all different aspects of ME ... and what you can..t see in the pictures ... i..m 6..2" ... 195 lbs.
O.K., about me (for real!). I am a passionate, Christian brotha in Houston, TX ... via Louisiana (but I was born in Pittsburgh, and I also lived in Virginia for a while ... WHEW!). I live in the South, but I LOVE the East Coast ... especially, D.C.!
Hey, if you..re in the Houston area (or not ... because I enjoy traveling a LOT), hit me wit.. a note, and I..ll hit you back! Don..t forget to post a comment (it..d be DISRESPECT like coming in my house and NOT WIPING YOUR FEET ON THE RUG if didn..t!).
I like doing anything new and interesting. I write, read, and recite poetry every chance I get ... but I..ve been slackin.. lately (not writing much), but I love hearing/reading the work of others as well. The piece that I have posted here was a quick freestyle off the top of my head (not polished ... NOT my best!), but I would be happy to share some of my other work with you if you ask politely... don..t be scared!

PERFECT 10
(4 Mai Tai)
The Definition of my PERFECT TEN,
And the Angel from my Heaven
The Jada to my Will,
And the Wind behind my Mill ...
The Morning Sky to my Sunrise,
And the View from my High Rise ...
The Bonnie to my Clyde,
And the Protector of my Pride ...
The Papers to my Weed,
And the One who..ll bear my Seed ...
The Finish to my Start,
And the very Beat to my Heart ...
The Shining Star in my Life,
And She who..ll one day be my Wife!
Suarez
JADA
u r the omega of my heart
the foundation of my conception of love
when i think of what a black woman should be
its u that i first think of
u will never fully understand
how deeply my heart feels 4 u
i worry that we..ll grow apart
and i..ll end up losing u
u bring me 2 climax without sex
and u do it all with regal grace
u r my heart in human form
a friend i could never replace
2Pac

TURN-OFFS (mental) - a woman who is not versatile, afraid of challenges, not politically in tuned, argumentative, closed minded, INSECURE, and who is incapable of independence

"WHO SAID PRETTY BOYS CAN..T BE WILD NI**AZ?"
Nelly
LADIES, don..t EVER forget THIS!
BOY vs MAN
A BOY imitates the movies, always trying to be a "Mack." MEN possess the strength, to love a woman back.
A BOY looks at your body, when a MAN can see your soul - he knows you have much more to offer, and with you, he can grow.
A BOY will ask to spend the night, but a MAN wants to share your life.
A BOY hunts for a "piece", while a MAN yearns for a wife.
A BOY will leave you insecure, but with a MAN you..re always reassured.
A BOY will have you wonder where he is; no wonder with a MAN, because a MAN always takes care of his.
BOYS can give you moments, while a MAN brings memories.
BOYS bring lies and always try to deceive, but a MAN values things like trust and honor, and in YOU, he will believe!
LADIES, which of these (boy or Man) are a representation of what you..ve encountered?FELLAS, which of these (boy or Man) apply to you?Hopefully, we can all learn to appreciate the Man more, and leave the boys where they belong ... with other BOYS!
"NOW QUESTION: Is every n*gga wit.. dreds fa.. tha.. cause? ... Is every n*gga wit.. golds fa.. da.. fall? ... Naw, so don.. get caught up in appearance! ... It..s ... anotha.. BLACK experience!"

Well, that..s about it for now (FINALLY, right?), but here..s one last bit for you ... When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?"
