Love is not…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s but breakfast in bed
sleeping together but staying awake
corny sometimes but corny always
iTunes downloads but vinyl records
changing the channel but giving the remote
a seccurity blanket but a favorite teddy
knowing what to do but asking for help
the enemy but its accomplice
leaving the toilet seat up but remembering to put it down
knowing tomorrow but living today
staying between the lines but going outside
taking McDonald’s to go but eating it inside
a song you just heard but a song you can’t get out of your head
protecting their feelings but telling the truth
a 50 cent rap but a Beatles medley
celebrating a holiday but remembering a birthday
arriving late but being early
saying it’s okay but making it better
Jack and Jill but Will and Grace
holding on but letting go
Hanes her Way but Victoria’s Secret
a cure but a drug
a four letter word but a three
“i do” but “as you wish”
taking sides but compromise
something you learn but something you know
roses on Valentine’s Day but sunflowers on Wednesday
a Dane Cook movie but Steve Martin stand-up
free but priceless
Cinderella’s slipper but the chase to find her
always about winning but admiting you’re wrong
holding hands but hearing a smile without seeing it
a Brad Pitt sex scene but a Hugh Grant monologue
a fight but a battle
the tears we shed but the scars we hide
a Timbaland remix but a J Dilla sample
a nuisance but something we take for granted
an appetizer but dessert
a John Legend top hit but a Babyface slow jam
luck but something like it
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes but Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
a breakup in progress but the hurt soon after
the pet names but the crooked smiles
Ashton Kutcher and P.Diddy but Ben Affleck and Matt Damon
a hand shake but a high five
matching clothes but dressing down
a playlist but a mixtape
the Jonas Brothers but Boyz II Men
a one night stand but a lifetime forever
day by day but step by step
a B word but the L
a romantic comedy but a documentary
a heartbreak but a heartache
a house party but dinner and a movie
lip to lip but eye to eye
boastful but humble
alone apart but alone together
French but universal
a second chance but many
the Olsen twins but Uncle Jessie
Pretty Woman but Notting Hill
there but here
aha! but oh…
okay but that’s okay
Bob Dylan but his music
Romeo but Juliet
MTV but HBO
censored but PG-13
forgivable but tolerable
new but old
High School Musical but Grease Lightning
jealous but not always trusting
a phase but an eternity
a werewolf but a vampire
one but many
many but one
an excuse but a reason
a cupcake but the candle
a theory but an experience
Before Sunrise but Before Sunset
V.I.P but a long line
a habit but a necessity
perfect but we try

Black President

“Yes We Can … Change the World (Change the World )
(They Said!)

What’s the black pres. thinkin’ on election night
Is it how can I protect my life?
Protect my wife?
Protect my rights?
Every other president was nothin’ less than white
Except Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood
and Calvin coolers
KKK is like ‘what the fuck’, loadin’ they guns up
loadin’ mine too, Ready to ride
Cause im ridin with my crew
He dies - we die too
But on a positive side,
I think Obama provides Hope - and challenges minds
Of all races and colors to erase the hate
And try and love one another, so many political snakes
We in need of a break
Im thinkin’ I can trust this brotha
But will he keep it way real?
Every innocent n!gga in jail - gets out on appeal
When he wins - will he really care still?
I feel …”

“ If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. Barack Obama

Rock the Vote!

Once every four years, we have the opportunity to make a difference. Not just any difference, but a change that may affect our country for the next coming years. It’s a decision for the well-informed, not the easily swayed; for the independent thinker not the ignorant bystander. Last time, we voted George W. Bush and saw more SNL skits than country improvements. Years before that, our Noble Prize Winner, Al Gore lost to the same man because a recount was prohibited by congress. Well, progress and hope have reigned these campaigns and today is the first day of many. Change is possible if you make it possible and just like everyone else, i’m a believer. One out of many, my voice is simple but loud. I will not let my country’s struggle die in vain and I will not watch in times of action. November 4, 2008. Rock the Vote!
