Balance Beam

Hey everybody! Folks I can't front; I'm dumb tired. Thinking back. can't say there have been many times that I've been so drained. But press through this wall with me, Team Boogie, and let's be productive. Today I want to speak to you about balance, walking the Tightrope like Janelle Monae.

There's a young lady on Facebook who uses her statuses to post the varying qualities of each horoscope sign. She describes the strengths and weaknesses of each sign's personality, and what they value in a mate. Of the many she discussed, one stood out for their desires. The woman stated that females of this particular sign appreciate men who cater to their needs but who are not pushovers.

Reading that statement made me ponder: Isn't that the ultimate balance that most of us look for? There are exceptions; men who prefer a submissive female or a woman who loves a doormat. A large number of us however, desire an "Even Stevens". An "Even Stevens" is a person who maintains a level of consistency by thinking logically and not taking extreme standpoints. It is important for a person to command respect from their partner, but still be humble, secure, and caring. Show the one you love...you love them.

Let's strive to extend this quest for balance into many categories of our relationships with the opposite sex: platonic, physical, or serious. My goal is to SHOW any particular lady of interest that I'm a triple threat: I am able to support (spiritual bond), stimulate (mental/social bond), and satisfy (sensual; and you know that...). Lack of balance leads to being typecast; nobody wants to be told they're only good for one thing (no matter the thing).

In closing, please consider the source from which you develop your balance. I grew up on movies, and had to learn the hard way that you can't script real life. Be a human, consider human emotions, and utilize real life experiences to create a sound logic. By doing so, when you are challenged by unforeseen events, you will not be caught "off-balanced".

Boogie.

The Adventures of Captain Save-a-Ho, America's Most Misunderstood Hero

"Dude, hear me out: they gave Batman one, Thor, even Captain America...when's BLANKMAN getting a new film? You know he deserves it." Al Gore, 'We're Just Talking' While the quote was originally written for comedic purposes, I admit to privately celebrating the less popular and promoted superheroes of my time and before. Great protectors such as Colossus (first superhero with a high top fade), The Flash, and my favorite...Meteor Man, were commonly overlooked while guys like Batman and Superman soaked up the limelight. Buried even further below these 'underground' heroes however lies a figure that serves and protects more commonly than any of the previously mentioned figures, and NEVER gets the respect a defender of their credentials. They've saved more people than all of the Justice League members combined and never needed an alter ego; they simply go by the name of "Captain Save-a-Ho".  Though speaking in a mildly facetio...

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...
