Do you remember MIA?

Happy Blogiversary! After over 800 blog entries, over 100,000 comments, the Misadventures in Atlanta blog is officially 4 years old!! On March 10, 2004, one brave AJC staffer decided to share her dating experiences. Her name was Mia and she was young, fabulous, and just as frustrated with dating as many of us were! Do you remember Mia?

I thought it would be fun to check back in with the one who started it all. I sent Mia a list of burning questions I thought her old readers would want to know. So after the jump, check out what she said. Maybe she will even drop in and say hello.

For our new readers and lurkers, feel free to join in today! Introduce yourself to our MIA blog community.

Everyone, consider this a reunion day, a day to share your weekend plans, vent about the dating scene, or talk about what’s on your mind. What has the MIA blog meant to you? What have you learned about dating or relationships?

Catching up with Mia What fabulous gig do I have now? Y’all may or may not remember I left Atlanta to take a job at the New York Times. And I hated it but God always has a plan in place for my life. I landed at Sports Illustrated (where I met my current beau…that’s another story for a later question) and after a year and a half at Sports Illustrated I got a promotion to another magazine website within the company. I’m now a manager at InStyle.com. How Mia went from sports to fashion I can’t logically explain but it’s a perfect fit. My side hustle is coordinating speed dating events in Manhattan. Those who can’t, help others.

Are you engaged? dating? Those that remember me, remember I always somehow end up in some unconventional scenario. So here’s the story…and I always have a story or I wouldn’t be Mia. When I started at Sports Illustrated, one of the very first meetings I went to there was this guy. Throughout the entire meeting I kept staring at him because I couldn’t tell if he was close in age to me although he seemed younger than everyone else in the room. And I couldn’t tell what race he was. After the meeting, I’m always on Facebook, so I decided to see who else from the company network was on. And there he was. So I checked out his profile (still couldn’t tell his race) and his AIM name was on there so I IMed him. We started talking, getting to know each other and in the course of our first conversation I said, “Don’t take this the wrong way but what are you?” He started to laugh. “What am I in what way?” “Are you black, white, arab?” He laughed again. “What do you think I am?” “I think you are other.” He laughs again. Turns out he’s black and white. Mom is black, Dad is white.

So it all started with a random project meeting and a few IM’s. 18 months later we are still DATING…note the word dating. As with all twenty something, well educated, good career having men in NYC he is a commitment phobe. To his credit, part of it is that I am crazy, always admitted that I am crazy…but not crazy in a bad way. I’m crazy in the scars from my past relationships can make me a combination of paranoid and insecure. And Lord knows I have done some things that would have driven the average man away. But he’s EXTREMELY patient. Puts up with my crap, calls me on it and for some odd reason he’s still here. And what is here? Well we don’t have a title but anyone that is important in our lives (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) knows we are together. I’m learning to accept that the title is not so important if you have someone that accepts you for who you are and loves you inspite of yourself. As his best friend put it, “Honestly, I didn’t think you would last this long but one thing I know is that you are down for my boy. It’s okay, we all know you are his girlfriend.”

How did I overcome that “one of the guys” dating dilemma? I actually didn’t. For purposes of this blog we’ll call my guy Audacity. Because one of my friends likens him to Obama (the audacity of hope.) So Audacity and I started off as buddies or really office spouses. We would go to lunch together, talk on IM all day, watch Monday Night Football together…I was one of the guys. I think part of Audacity’s attraction to me was that I was one of the guys and I could hang with the guys and that we both obviously loved sports working at Sports Illustrated.

Do you ever hear from Hurricane? Are you still friends with his family? Hurricane and I are still friends. We talk all the time and it’s cool between us. We have both moved on personally and professionally. After Katrina, Hurricane’s sister lived with me for a semester. While living with me she met the man she is now engaged too. I’m going to be one of the bridesmaids in her wedding. Weird to some to be a bridesmaid in my ex-boyfriends sister’s wedding but I’m still friends with the family. And if she hadn’t lived with me when folks thought that was crazy to let my ex’s sister live with me…she wouldn’t have met her future husband.

Do you ever hear from/about Mr. Potential? Military Man? Shortly after I moved to NYC Mr. Potential sent me an email, “You just crossed my mind and I know that things weren’t the best between us when you left. You really where a good person who I would consider a friend and we had lots of fun when we did hang out. I hope all is well and you are enjoying NY.” Every now and then Mr. Potential will send me an email but he’s in a relationship now. I think it’s serious, close to engagement, he denies that. I haven’t actually seen him since I left Atlanta. Military Man I never heard from again after he moved out.

Are the single men in NY more challenging/less challenging than Atlanta? In NY I would say they aren’t more or less challenging but it’s a different challenge. The difference is the social options NY offers versus Atlanta makes guys less inclined to want to settle or get in to a serious relationship. It’s very hard to find a guy here who wants to do more than just date but to actually have a relationship. The men have a lot more choices/options of women.

Good Morning All

Wow the topic is going to get change fairly quick this morning..lol

But I personally thought that NY men were alot better than the guys down south. More man…..and to me alot of them wanted to settle down a lot quicker then these southern bumpkins. I don’t know. I guess that’s just my opinion.

Well hello there B-E-A UTIFUL. lol

What has the MIA blog meant to you? Well, it definitely helps add some laughter to my maudlin day. It also gives me a chance to express myself and at times vent about something anonymously & get feedback on it.

What have you learned about dating or relationships? WOW, what haven’t I learned.

  • I learned some of yall are walking scabs that need some neosporin slapped on yo azzez. HEAL ALREADY.

  • I hope to neva meet some of yall dudes because you have no souls/hearts

  • I learned if i need a camera man for my porn debut to call Demi or Alvin

  • I know I can call up Truth when I get ready to get my crib or at least move in with in so he can pay all my bills. lol

  • I learned if all i have is some pocket lent, a rubber band, one toilet seat cover and a phillips screw driver that me and For Real can have a helluva time.

  • I learned that if I need help finding a synonym for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, to use Dan’s Dicktion Servicesyea I spelled it right cuz he also offers Happy Endings for an additional fee

  • I learned from Raqi that even though marriage is hardwork, it can still be a beautiful thing & not get caught up in the Anti-marriage hype on here.

  • I learned that Cemeeli can plan my Backyard Wedding Reception with only $50.

  • I learned that I’m a Dayum Fool..or more like a nut. “I’m a nut, in a hut. I stole yo mama pocketbook, SO WHAT”

  • To be continued…

    You know Blow,

    You say a lot of stuff. But what I can’t take is somebody talking about Southern Gentlemen.

    Now, granted the “wanna be thug” culture has taken hold of some of the fellas. But I guarantee you that they still have those same southern manners that we were ALL brought up with. Yes Ma’am and no Ma’am, yes sir and no sir. And I know this becuase even the hardest of “fake gangstas” still show deference and respect to older people.

    Plus, the world over, everybody knows that there’s nothing like a country fed man. The times I visited cities outside the South, between my twang and good looks, the ladies loved me. So much so that the common phrase was “Damn, they grow ‘em like that in the South? I gotta go down there.”

    And NY women, oh what I wouldn’t give for a fiesty girl from the Bronx somedays Boriqua!, but I still love my Southern Belles. So hold that NY stuff and enjoy what most NY’ers do when the come to the South. The weather, the scenery, and the people. lol

    Did I mention my affinity for Puerto Rican women? Goodness

    March 14, 2008 9:08 AM | Link to this

    Um Blow, the topic will not be changed. Did you not comprehend that WiseD gave us a blank canvas?

    And to quote her, “Everyone, consider this a reunion day, a day to share your weekend plans, vent about the dating scene, or talk about what’s on your mind. What has the MIA blog meant to you? What have you learned about dating or relationships?”

    Wow, all this reconnecting is a bit much for early in the morning.

    One point. Staceye says the men in NY are better. Beautiful says the men in cali are better. Blow says the southern fellas aren’t any good. Now Mia says the men in NY have no reason to settle down. My question: Why are all the good men where these women aren’t?

    Slim you can move in and I will cover all your bills but to stay aligned with the Governor of New York your going to have to become a working girl. Sorry, the free rides are over. We can leave your street name as Slim tho. Training starts tonight. I got a few buddies coming over and your on the menu. Wear a hardhat and g string.

    Happy Birthday Blog! I also didn’t get a chance to blog with MIA but I read some of her stuff and it was funny.

    On here, I’ve learned to “take notes” and also that there are a lot of frogs out here. It’s convinced me to stick to my guns even if everyone else is telling me to do certain things just because that’s how men are.

    It’s good to see other perspectives and see how other people think. Even if I don’t agree with their methods, I always appreciate the experiences.

Only thing is left is that broken down southern twang…and I can much rather do without. lol! You southern men are spoil and don’t realize how good you had it. If opportunity knocked on you’ll’s door…most would run and hide. Save the Country charm for someone who doesn’t know about ya! Miss me with that BOGUS $HIT….But here have some of the ole’ wild irish rose!! lmao!!

    Raqi You are right you got me on that one. lol….Here have a shot of some of dis Mr. Boston finest…vodka. lol!

    Mia I never had the pleasure of blogging with you, but thanks for being a trailblazer - this is really a fun blog! Even though some of these blog men get on my nerves sometime, I always look forward to seeing what’s going on up in here! Sounds like you’re having a blast up in NY. One of my best friends from college got a job at NYU and lived over in Jersey City. I was working for Delta at the time, and I used to love going to visit. The best Chinese food, hands down! I actually have some souveniers I bought right outside the World Trade Center, keychains with the twin towers on them. I had forgotten about them, but ran across them going through some things right before the 1st anniversary of 9/11! My friend has moved to Mission Viejo, California now, so I visit her there. You know, I know people who would love to lead the life you lead, working for a magazine in a major city like NYC, but don’t have the courage or won’t step out on faith to make it happen. You did, and I wish you all the best!

Well we don’t have a title but anyone that is important in our lives (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) knows we are together. I’m learning to accept that the title is not so important if you have someone that accepts you for who you are and loves you inspite of yourself.

    Anyone else have an opinion on this? This was my last two relationships down to the letter and all I can say is that this doesn’t work, from my experiences. Especially if you are used to the title even if he isn’t. Around 18 months is usually my tipping point, where I start to let him know how this is gonna go and usually the point where I decide that we may have to go our seperate ways.

    But I really hope MIA bucks this trend. Maybe it’s different in NY.

    By the way, I’m not really into NY men but I’ve fallen in love at least 3 times already out here…good Lawd

    Along the lines of what Slim said:

    Case in point, I went out with this girl that I kinda liked while still on my hustle, which for me is rare. And for whatever reason it didn’t work out.

    If I was still in the fugg ‘em and forget ‘em mindstate, I’da called the ole faithful on the way home and….let’s just say released my tension. ;)

    But this time I didn’t do that. Hopefully, and only time will tell, I can tolerate one of many rejections. Being on here, and having the opportunity to express some of these emotions, has helped me at the very least clarify my reaction to things.

    That’s not to say ole Faithful won’t get a call, but I can say that at least this time, the rejection doesn’t feel the same way it used to, and that thanks to some of y’all, I’m able to get over it in a healthier and more constructive way.

    So thank you, MIA, Diva, Bella, et al. for that.

    And Slim you know your Happy Ending is always free, as long as I get one too!

    I think its time for a name change to many THE’s out here now..

    At any rate.. MIA finally got a man good for you.. Congrats.. Gone ahead and swing from the chandeliers and lock him in..

    The Blog has taught me ummmm NOTHING.. I have given so much free game out here its a shame..

    Seriously it has taught me that no one is perfect and that everyone has their own issues.. The key is to live one day at a time and that special person will come when its time for them to get there.. Not exactly when you want them too.. There is also the point of finding a person that can deal with your issues and you can deal with theirs cause no one is obligated to change..

    I love the men in Atlanta, mainly because there is something for everyone. If I want me a laid back Cali guy, I can find him here. If I want an edgy New Yorker, he’s here too. If I want a southern gent, I can find that as well. Love it.

Here we can laugh, fight, get cussed out, get our egos bruised, and kiss and make up. A lot of lessons are learned by reading what other bloggers have experienced. I’m pretty sure you didn’t think this blog would become so addictive, but it has. WiseDiva/Bella, thank you two for continuing where Mia left off! KUDOS!

    You know, that whole ‘Southern Gentleman’ thing originates in Antebellum society. It centers around the aristocracy being primarily a leisure class that participates in government, is schooled primarily in oratory, and places women on pedestals. It’s kind of funny that such a notion would be endorsed on this blog.

    Good Morning Everyone!

    It’s the original MIA. I just wanted to stop in and say hello to the oldies but goodies that were with me from the beginning and the newbies who have come along for the ride.

    This blog really started to reach an audience that wasn’t being reached before and because I would have some funny stories about my dating life that I would share with co-workers on Mondays. Those funny stories became this blog.

    I remember when the editor of the paper asked me is this really your life or are you making this up. My response: sadly it is. Some stuff you just can’t make up.

    Thanks Wise Diva (my play cousin) for keeping the blog going and remembering this minor milestone. :-P

    Let’s see weekend plans. Still in NYC so I’m going to head out and get a Jamba Juice then finally hit up Macy’s and H&M. I’ll be checking out Debbie Allen’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway. Spend a little more time with my sis. We had a slumber party last night and one of her friends is here too cuz she has some guy drama that I only see in Tyler Perry movies.

    Heading back to Atlanta, I’m going to try to squeeze in a date with “Pilot” before I’m on a plane again.

    Demi I’m not saying NONE of yall have hearts…some of the menfolk that come thru blogsville are just as scarred as the women. I’m sure you’ve heard Omarion’s “I got an Icebox where my heart use to be”….As far as wearing my heart on my sleeve…I really don’t do that for folks I don’t care about. And i don’t keep it hidden for those I do. As far as folks on the outside, it’s just entertainment purposes only.(whether it be for a shallow, heartless, heartpounding Grown folks session…or just to watch Flavor of Love with) it’s sort of how a cat might play with a cricket…killing it slowly a piece at a time. One leg…two legs..the head…then GULP GONE!. In the words of Snoop…We don’t love dem Ho3’s.

    More Catching Up with Mia: What do you miss about Atlanta? I miss my friends but we talk on email and IM all the time and I see them several times a year. I miss my house. I had only lived in it for 9 months when I moved to NYC. I miss Fridays after work going to 1/2 price happy hour at D&B. But I’ve heard it’s no longer the spot to go to after work anymore. I miss going to all the movie screenings. They have them here but a lot more people are vying to get in to the theater so I don’t see as many movies as I used too.

    What dating advice do you have for us now? I’ve always been a seeker of advice versus giving it. In some ways I think I’m still a natural dating disaster. I would think most people wouldn’t be okay with dating a person for as long as I have with no title. But that’s just a peculiarity of me. As one of my friends put it I always have weird relationships/friendships.

    Good morning everyone Slim, bootiful & Ared. I guess this is no cook friday for Cee She could have at least got me some dayuum reese puffs and tang. Anyway I would like to say thanks to Mia for getting this thing started. I think that I am the baby on here and I helps me tremendously. Not only the advice that I get from everyone but it helps keep me from slapping a muthaslucka up in the hd hq. You guys have me laughing, crying, you keep me full and drunk. I have no complaints. By the way I seen Black last night by accident. It was so hard. I think I am the only person in the world who has cried listening to Lil Wayne

The dialogues here have been really thought provoking most times and its great to read other opinions, whether I agree with them or not, food for thought.

    Hello MIA. I didn’t get a chance to blog with you while you were here but based on the comments about you thus far, you seem to be a cool person. Thank you for the blog.

    Oh, I don’t know if you keep up with the blog now (probably not since you have a guy in your life) but the blog has started a new tradition of giving Black Cake to the new female bloggers. I know you are not new but allow me the honor of giving you some ceremonial Black Cake for old and new time sake.

    P.S if you are on a diet, the blog has adopted a pet to serve as the blog mascot. It’s an African American Dolphin. You can pet it if you want to.

    This blog has taught me that on those day when I want to ring that chumps neck laying beside me to thank God that at least I did not end up with him (Insert name). LOL

    It has taught me that there are a lot of wounded souls and spirits out there, just like I was, and they don’t even realize or they just refuse to admit it.

    It has taught me that every one’s opinion matters. You know sometimes you lose sight on things just being caught up in your immediate circle of friends. But to interact with an anonymous unbiased sect makes you stand back and say “Oh!”.

    This blog has taught me that I am not the only crank in America. LOL

    Ared I saw the play(coahtr) on Tuesday, I really enjoyed it, one of the best on Broadway by far. Please share your comments on the play. Its not what many people expect they are too caught up on the Tyler Perry shucking and jiving plays they can’t open there mind to a true drama play. It hurt my heart to see such talent poured out on stage to only have many complaining there was no singing, dancing or a man in drag up there.

    @For Real - ROTFLMAO at Black Cake and African American Dolphin.

    I’m very good at being critical of myself. Maybe because I’m a Pisces. But a large part of my dating problems is ME. I’m so career driven that I don’t leave time for much else. It’s work or hanging with my girlfriends…and I don’t leave much room for meeting guys.

    I did a blog on my personal blog about how I communicate. Audacity and I work so well together because we communicate similarly. We are not phone people…we are IM, email, text…that is and has always been our primary forms of communication. He also is accepting of my crazy work schedule so it’s okay to come over at 11pm on a Thursday night to watch the episode of Lipstick Jungle that I missed that he DVR’d for me. He gets brownie points for watching it with me. And then we go to sleep…no nookie necessary.

    We do not like being called Bi-Polar. We/I am offended. Wraith will be paid.

    In truth, if I am bipolar (or sound like it), it’s becuase of the 3 different lives I lead in this one. I’ve been blessed enough to see life from a couple of sides of the track and while that can inform your opinion on a great many things, it can also take something from you.

    So, yes I realize that I present divergent viewpoints on here and times. No, I’m not crazy. But I am relearning me and y’all like everyone else in my life kinda get to see the process unfold.

    So be happy to be able to say like Raqi, I remember when that cat used to…..

    They fck, but they don’t just fck. There is a difference. Nowadays it seems like there always has to be “something” behind two people simply enjoying each other in bed.

    In relationships, people have to have something in common. They have to have the same interests. The same goals. The same foreign policies. Whatever. When it comes to sex, none of that matters.

    what i learned the hard way is not realizing at the time you break-up with someone that there’s a next. it’s hard to look past the person you just left behind. if the damaged hearts out there knew what was coming, if they were given the opportunity to actually see what God had in store for them … … …

    @Staceye - In ATL I felt like there were less men of quality…and because there were…the ones that did have their stuff together KNEW they were the -ish and thus utilized the opportunity to be playas.

    In ATL I felt like there were more men showcasing, driving nice cars while living with their momma’s. UNACCEPTABLE when I have a career and I live on my own in the house I pay for.

    In NYC there are so many options of quality women that the men don’t want to settle because they don’t want to feel like they are missing out on something. But I personally think there are more quality men in NYC. You can’t get away with showcasing for too long in one of the most expensive cities on the planet. It becomes clear very quickly if a man has what he says he has or if he is just styling and profiling.

    ATL to NYC/NYC to ATL…I didn’t go through an adjustment phase because I went to school in the south.

    Yes, he read it and said NADA. Some of you explained to me that his silence spoke volumes. I think Staceye said that. Then others told me that a man didn’t want to read his shortcomings and decided simply to ignore what I said. Some said I wounded his “manhood”. All in all I had to reiterate that in that 10 page letter weren’t just his mistakes/problems. Mine were listed as well. In any event, I got some clarity on that from this blog.

    Also, when I’m having a bad day, I can come on here and laugh, laugh, and laugh some more sometimes to point of almost choking. It’s all good!

    Yes WiseD that is(was) me. My brothers gave me that name during my angry days. At first it was “Hell’s Fury” then they shortened it to Scorned.

    I was going to write a comment about the life of this blog being credited to two individuals and how it is evident. But I don’t want to offend anyone because their input matters also. But here’s a shout out to Mia and WiseDiva. Thank you.

    There are too many comments to try to catch up. I have been online all morning trying to find the most expensive home coffee maker that I can. My doctor told me to stop drinking coffee. But I didn’t. The only person I told was my friend Design. Last night we were after dinner I asked the waiter to bring me a cup of coffee and she blurted out “I thought you doctor told you not to drink coffee.” Dang, I’m busted. I get up this morning, make a pot, pour me a cup in my thermal for on the road, go upstairs to grab my jacket, come back down and my coffee is gone. So was the entire coffee maker.

    I was like what the hell happened to my coffee…and where is the coffee maker? I asked my son “boy what happened to my coffee?” He didn’t move his head but motioned with his eyes over to The Man. He hid my coffee maker. Talking about blah, blah, blah (that’s all I heard). I want my coffee maker back. I told him we all have to die from something. LOL He said, “You wont be dying on my watch. Not over some coffee.” I told him if he don’t give it back somebody will be dying tah-day. (My black tea for breakfast, my coffee for commuting.)

    That little knucklehead would not say where it is because the man was sitting there. It don’t matter though. Imma buy a new one when I go to lunch.

    Now I was with you till that last post. From what I hear from the homie/ homegirls from the NY, for the most part cats up there front more than we do.

    I don’t disagree that there is a lot, lot, lot of flaugging being done down here. But you know like I know, cats ride that train in from the one room studio in Jersey to work in NY. Don’t act.

    Plus, down here, you gotta have a hustle to make it. Case in point, Russell Simmons runs NY ‘cause he got hustle. If he was from the South, same thing. But to get anywhere near the kind of money cats in the NY be clockin’, down here you got to have 3,4 side hustles. So my thing is, NY or Atl, I’d get mine, and put that on somma my folks to. Some cats from NY get down here and get shook…..

    Raqi, just give up the coffee. The main reason why I never started drinking coffee, was comments from peopld saying “don’t talk to me until I had my first cup.” “I can’t cope until I have my cup of coffee.” I a beyotch w/out my morning coffee.” Growing up I decided I never wanted to say things like that so I opted for tea. Loves me a hot cup of any type of tea!

    ForReal, the letter was written 4 years before I asked for a divorce. You guys have me cracking up over here. Guess there most have been another group of bloggers that supported me. I didn’t mean for it be 10 pages, but I was sitting in a hotel room (had a meeting the next day) and I put ALL my concerns to paper. It turned out to be 10 pages. That’s how much crap was going on in my marriage. Everything in there I had voiced many, many times. This time I put it in writing. I was fed up. Now to present, I’m happily divorced.!

    Let’s go with the Mo Money, Mo problems explanation first.

    In NY you can work a moderate job and make about 60K, with no car your expenses are the clothes and the apartment that you likely share (if in the city). After moving to the A, you’ve got problems. That salary is nowhere near the same, and now you need a car (the train goes no where you want to be). The car, the insurance, gas, and bills for a home that you can but cheaper here. But you still may have debt at the 50K a year range, so at the end of the month you in the hole.

    I’ve seen it, and heard it as a debt management counseler (side hustle 2), so I’m not theorizing, I have actual cases to draw on.

    Plus, in NY “shawty” is cute. Come down here with the “yo, son, God, B and all that” we got a problem. lol

    In all seriousness WiseD, in the nearly 7 years that we have been together we have had some doozies of lovers and not so loving quarrels. In all the time together we broke up 3 maybe 4 times, but as you read we have managed to find each other again. But one thing I am absolutely sure of, if I walk in that house today with a coffee maker, he will walk out the door and never come back. And that’s the God’s honest truth. It’s not the “coffee maker” but it would be the seeming to not caring that he cares about me.

    Now every time my ulcer acts up I will hear “are you still drinking coffee?” LOL

    Now MIA,

    We both know that in Atlanta as well as New York, it’s not the cost of living that gets you, it’s the type of lifestyle you lead.

    The clothes, the food and partying in the NYC is out of control. Cats in debt up there, like they are down here. The only difference is, like you said, down here one is more apt to live with family members, than in Jersey where (even there) you have a roommate.

    But either way, the flaugg will git you.

    Oh, and ladies calling the ATL brothers country, I invite aun one of you to go to Memphis or anywhere else in the South for a few days and see if (however unrefined) the ATL doesn’t have a pretty cogent crop of dudes.

    Believe it or not, not everybody shares every truth about every relationship on here, be it in the beginning, middle, or ended stages.

    Dan…DUH. I don’t even share that.

    But asking folks what they plan to do for the weekend, as it relates to the dating world should not be a stretch if you’re actually dating, going out or meeting people.

    But yeah, thanks for answering.

    So glad to read that all is going well with you MIA! Girl, you know how to get your hustle on! So glad to have participated in the beginnings of something that has spawned some great friendships for me and some different perspectives on various situations.

    Is this southern dude, northern dude stuff the lamest shyt you’ve ever heard or what? Whatever you’re looking for is right here in the atl, or ny, or guatemala. It’s all around you. I’ve always said that dudes can literally find a special chick right here in the atl amidst all the bs. Its true for women too. The thing is that lame azz game your runnin has got be modified. Or, to put it in different terms, you gotta repackage your product because nobodies buying what your selling. Is this 2008 or 1992?

    Beautiful thats the magic of dealing with the Truth. You want to keep it civil and we can do that. You want to start cutting off limbs and we can do that too. I’m game either way. And dam good at both. Bi-polar no. Flexible like a muffugga, yes lol.

    I don’t mind asking for azz award goes to Melo I’ve never seen a cat ask for so much azz. One minute he’s helping em with a problem and the next he’s giving em the key to a hotel room. That’s one funny fella.

    Dan a cat I worked with was asked by a d** to get her pregnant. She agreed that it was just the baby and whatnot and no child support would be asked for. He did and she did too, ask for child support. Nut on their azz and you don’t have to worry about that stuff.

    We have a culture that values celebrity over compassion; that values notoriety over caring. What can we learn from all of this? The entire advertising industry is based on the idea that if only you buy more, get more, do more—then you’ll be happy.

    Well, it’s never enough because it will never fill the emptiness that only a sense of meaning can satisfy. At the end of life, when people look back to see what mattered for them and brought meaning, it’s not about what they bought and what they owned. It’s about what they did to help other people to live and how they related to other people and grew in wisdom. It’s all about the love they gave and received, not anything else. One heart at a time.

    What up Blog Said while speed blogging. I am glad to know the origins of this blog.

    Some of the people on this blog I would love to kick it with in person, others I would be scared to meet in person. But I think what keeps us all going is that there are varying opinions on the same subjects.

    This blog is at times very funny, and at times very much true. Sooner or later the real truth comes out of every blogger. This blog has helped me to understand, and to see the good and the bad about dating in the A (And that people trip on Atlanta being called THE A). I travel a lot and there is no place like Atlanta. Even when I have been up north people talk of coming down here. So when I read people that say that this is not the place to be, I figure something must be going right from where they are standing.

    On-Topic (I think) My plans for this weekend is to hang out. If there is a party I am trying to hit it big. I do have a b-day party to attend on Saturday night, but it will be an uppity affair, and I don’t do those well. Regular people, acting rich while getting drunk is just not my thing.

    I’m not waiting to exhale, I actually breathe daily

    In and out Deeply and richly

    Each moment My heart beating

    Strong and steady Like me Courageous and consistent

    I am not waiting to exhale Not holding my breath Till it hurts Expecting the worst

    But..I am waiting to inhale, though

    I am anticipating

    Smelling you Taking in your natural scent Fresh out of the shower Your body glistening wet

    I am waiting to inhale you

    I am waiting to inhale the smell of the lily that you will leave next to my head

    I am waiting to smell the Tantalizing scent From our breakfast in bed

    I am not waiting to exhale for love I am waiting to inhale our love

    I will dedicate this post to Raqi (Coffee-free) and her man.

    Alright, who else have some poems to share? It’s already love jones weather kind of day, let’s keep it going!!

    YOU GOT ME

    You penetrated my world with a smile. Caught me with no defenses around. I felt you feeling me, I let you feel me feeling you. The chemistry so amazing, Could’ve thought it was voodoo. Spellbound….fences down…lustful mounds

    Anxiously longing to be near you. Anticipating your next move. So entranced by your stare, Too timid to return your glare. Your touch so paralyzing, I think I’m running out of air. It’s too much….feel my clutch….about to erupt!

    Wanting to explode with you. Shattering everything I thought I knew. Desiring you to let me inside your mind, Just to get closer to your soul. So passionate and blazing, To steal my heart is not your goal. Falling deeper….falling hard….back on guard!
