And It Kills Me...
The Legendary Unicorn aka Nice Guys Really Do Exist
I'm getting really tired of girls saying "There are no nice guys anymore", or "Why can't I find a nice guy", or any variant of such comments. Sorry to burst your bubble ladies but there are a whole lot of nice guys out there. Nice guys are not mythical like unicorns ladies. They are not all taken, or all gay, or all creepy. Most true nice guys are who they appear to be and don't turn into someone else once. The problem is most girls say they want a nice guy but aren't really attracted to the nice guy mentality or as the article says find nice guys sexually appealing. What they do find sexually appealing is the bad boys or the "jerks" because they view that as a sign of strength. Trust it is nothing but a false sense of strength. Some of these guys turn out to be abusers, harassers, or just plain immature. What I see girls do is they get involved with these guys who don't treat them fairly and expect more than they can give out of them, try and make them into the nice guy they've been supposedly looking for. You want to know why girls can't seem to find a decent man because once again as the article says they make these guys as friends to be they're cushion while they go on their quest and fail. Come on a nice guy is there for you, comforts you, makes you laugh, understands you, that's the kind of thing girls want to last forever and what do you feel lasts forever.....That's right a friendship. Because these guys make girls feel so good they want to hold on to that feeling for as long as possible and not risk the chance of losing it. Friendships do tend to last longer than relationships and why take the chance of risking the loss? I have a challenge for you girls. I challenge you to give one of your best friends a chance or at least entertain the idea of making them more then a friend. Think about how it feels to be around that, how they make you feel as a person. Where do you see things possibly going between the two of you if you do (realistically)? Weigh out the risks to the reward. Then tell me whether or not it was worth it. You know they say the best relationships start out as friendships but come on you have to be the one willing to take that leap forward or else you're just stuck wondering wear all the nice guys are. For you ladies who don't have a lot of guy friends or any that you're close to I challenge you to open your eyes or your options and give a chance to someone you normally wouldn't. You never know a lot of these guys will surprise you and make you happier then you thought you could ever be.

Just a Friend 2010 (Not to be confused the 2002 version)
What is it about women that causes them to feel compelled to place men in the supposed "impenetrable" friend Zone?
I've had my fare share of encounters with the friend zone, actually more than I'd like to admit. But there are a few things that have boggled my mind, why are women so insistent on not crossing the line between friend and lover. They refuse to take that risk. Constantly worried of ruining the friendship. What is it about guys that we're not afraid to take that risk. You know what they say, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Come on if you can be such great friends what makes you think that a relationship with that person won't be an even greater experience. I feel you have the same chance of ruining the friendship as you do the relationship. By not taking the chance you could be missing out on what could be the greatest thing to ever happen to you. There's a saying "Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.", maybe girls need to have a guy mindset not just when it comes to sex but also relationship, you don't know that can happen til you give it a try. Here's a tip to all you guys who are stuck in the friendzone and are looking for a way out....this is very risky....personally I've only tried this once and it actually worked. What you have to do is put your friendship on the line. Let her know that you guys would be great together and being just friends won't work, and you have to end if.....like I said, it's a huge risk, but either one of two things will happen, thats the end of a friendship or she'll come to her senses and realize how she doesn't wanna lose you from her life and want to take the chance at being more than friends. If you wanna try this, then I wish you nothing but luck and hopefully happiness cause us good guys deserve it.
One step from the Edge
Ring $200, Snowglobe $10 ,Falling Priceless
It hurts so much......So much that I don't even wanna wake up in the morning. I don't know how i make it through the day and no matter how many times people tell me things will get better I can't imagine that happening. I'm probably at the lowest I've been in the longest and I pity myself so much right now......I'm jsut letting myself wither away because I started to fall. All I wanted to do was talk to you....that's all I asked for...but it was jsut a game.....It was all jsut a game.....my feelings were a game to be played.......I am a human being, I have a heart, i have feelings. I am not someone to be toyed with. I am a genuine nice guy and because of that i feel more than others so when you hurt me it hurts more than it would others. Boy have i been proven a fool time and time again. You think you can overlook someones flaws but sometimes those flaws just just come back to bite you harder than ever damn. Yeah I bought a $200 ring but it was for me to hold onto until things went somewhere, whereit seemed things were going but like i said I'm a fool, drunk and mad I jsut gave up......boy what a fool I am........boy how much I'm hurting, boy how much I cared.......boy how much i fell.....They say we're all jerks or care about one thing.......what if you had the opportunity to be with someone who was nothing like that.......

The Claddagh's Rings distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my loyalty." Yet, the expression, "Let love and friendship reign forever" can be found as another meaning for the symbols.
How Do I Feel?
Longing for something I can't have
Wishing for what never was
Trying not to lose who I am
Holding on to what little sanity I have left
I feel sad; detered
Picking up the pieces of a broken heart
Unsure if all the pieces are even here
I feel worthless; wasted
So much of my life to give
So much of my dreams to share
I feel hurt; broken
The pain is an endless abyss
No one could ever touch me the way you did
I feel....
Untitled
Wondering how it all came to this
Wishing for things to be where they were
Reminiscing about spending hours on the phone
Wanting to understand where those times went
Feeling like I lost the greatest opportunity
Praying that it wasn't just my imagination
Believing that we really had something
Thinking that there's still a future here somewhere
Hoping that no matter where things are now there's still something to look forward to.....
Chronicles of a High Guy Vol 1 Chapter 1
"Big Girls Don't Cry
Nothing breaks my heart more than to see a girl cry especially a beautiful one. So imagine how I felt when the saw the girl who a lot of the guys consider to be the baddest girl at Post (right now) crying. Sure it may have been for a stupid reason like.....(crying because upset that you've drank to the point where you're throwing up and you're embarrassed)...but she was crying none the less and she was vulnerable and it just broke my heart. I don't know why, but I have tended to view girls as being these precious thing that needed to be taken care of be made happy so to see one unhappy it bothers me because they don't deserve to be feeling that way"
Growing up is hard to do
New Passion......Ultimate Betrayal
Cheaters.....Why?
Okay we're gonna move away from my usual self-loathing posts to something a bit more serious and not all me, me, all about me. We're gonna talk about cheating and why it happens. Honestly the thought of cheating sickens me and I truly dislike people who do it. So I want to understand why it happens. By cheating you do know I mean infidelity right? If you're going to commit your heart to someone why would you do something as idiotic as cheat on them. If you truly feel the need to cheat on them why don't you just break up with them instead because they're apparently lacking something you want or not giving you something you need. One site says "Statistically speaking, men cheat for a single primary reason: sex". The site then goes on to say that it is a the biological urge of men to "spread their seed" that drives them. In the case of marriages & committed couple men sex tends to become routine or mechanical. Not an adventure as it once was, but simply as a means to an end. And so they seek that adventure, that adrenaline rush, with another woman (or women). As you would guess it's a lot more complicated for women than just sex. According to the site most women don't cheat for the sake sex but rather it is a secondary concern to them. Apparently when it comes to women you have to look at the emotional aspect rather than the physical aspect of cheating. They will carry on emotional affairs...where they'll fall in love and experience emotional intimacy with a men, while never taking it to the physical level. It's these type of affairs that can continue on for years, without ever being detected, and often leaving a wake of destruction in their path. So basically if a man isn't giving them the attention they want they go and find it somewhere else. Honestly I feel that this makes men look like the bad guys. I feel that this is saying that men cheat and are also responsible for women cheating but sadly it makes sense. First I'll tackle the mens' side then the womens'. Okay, I understand that it is a biological instinct to spread our seed that drives us but we are not animals but we have certain parts of our personality called the ego and superego which separates us from the animals and controls our animalistic needs. There are other biological factors that affect other animals but we can control why can't the need to spread our seeds and dominate be one of them. If you find that sex is becoming a routine why don't you communicate with your partner and spice it up a lil, do something different for once that isn't part of your routine so it feels new and you don't feel the need to get that brand new feeling from someone else. Now I find the woman's aspect of cheating to be easier to tackle. COMMUNICATION!!!!!!! If you feel your partner is not giving you the attention you need then communicate that fact to then. maybe they don't notice that or maybe they have a lot going on with themselves but communication is key. If he's still not giving you the attention you need then drop the dude and find someone who will appreciate you and what you have to offer rather than cheat on him. If he is giving you attention but it's still not satisfying you then maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself. All in all cheating does not need to happen and we owe it to ourselves and our partners to see that it ends.

Excerpt from my Autobiography (yes I know, a lot to read)
Life to me means friends and family who you can trust and who trusts you. I don’t really fully trust anyone because I feel most people have let me down or let me down except for my mother and that prevents me from getting close to or being able to open up fully to anyone. Whenever I completely put my faith in someone to help me accomplish a task they don’t always come through for me and cause of that I have learned to rely on myself more and more but I still long to find someone, possibly a significant other in which I can put all my trust because I feel not being able to trust anyone is doing more harm to me than good. I’m basically content in life. I’m not sad but I’m also not over the top happy. I feel very thankful for the friends that I have and I have a lot of friends but at the same time I still feel alone and misunderstood.
My greatest fear is the basic idea of death because I fear that once you’re dead then that’s it. There is no afterlife such as heaven or hell and there’s just nothing as in you cease to exist. I know death is natural and we have no control over it but the idea that when it’s over it’s just over scares me and at times prevents me from looking ahead to the future because I feel I’m just another step closer to the inevitable but I refuse to let my fear prevent me from living in the present like I’d love to get a motorcycle or even go skydiving sometime in the near future because while I fear death I live to make more experiences for myself. I don’t fray away from taking risks because I believe with great risk comes even greater rewards. I guess in a way you can say my greatest fear is of the unknown because I have no idea what comes after the end.
Another fear of mine is the fear of failure and living in regret. When I start something for the most part I tend to finish it because otherwise it starts to eat at me. Even if I have to fight the odds I make sure it gets done. To not finish something that I start is like a major hit in the gut and it just bothers until I get it done. I just tell myself whatever is keeping me from accomplishing the task is all in my head and can completely be overcome if I put my mind to it. I truly believe that anything and I mean anything in life is possible but is just hard to get. Knowing that nothing is impossible puts more possibilities in your reach. I don’t let anything discourage me from the ultimate prize.
My greatest desire in life is to travel the world and visit places such as Paris, Barcelona, and Rome. The idea of being free to travel the world and experience new and different cultures has always interested me. I also want the freedom that traveling brings. I want to be able to see historical landmarks, interact with people who’s customs are completely different from my own and experience the nightlife that these places have to offer. I’ve even considered moving to France because I’ve always been fascinated by the country. Who knows, someday I just might but I know for sure I’m going to visit it sometime in the next five years.
Another desire of mine is to have my own family. I feel that I want a family to have people that rely on me and that I can come through for the way my father came through for my family. At the same time I can rely on them too but I will hold off on the idea of a family until I am stable enough to support one. I want to give them everything my parents gave me as well as the things my parents couldn’t give me. At the same time I am going to be a little more lenient with them because though I am proud of the way my parents raised me they are accustomed to different things growing up in Haiti than growing up in America because of that they have been more strict than most parents born in America are. I will raise my kids with some of the ideals I was raised with but will at the same time incorporate my own experiences growing up in America.
Five years from now I see myself still in school. Either I’ll be in graduate school or in medical school. I’m either going to be studying to be a psychiatrist or an anesthesiologist if the medical school thing works out I want to make the most I possibly can out of myself and I believe that advancing my education as far as I possibly can aid me in that endeavor. I also see myself married in five years. Ten years from now I see myself either with a PhD and possibly the head supervisor at whatever laboratory I’m working at or finishing off my residency and one more step towards my medical license.
I believe my greatest triumph is being where I am today. I’m a High School graduate; I am a junior Biomedical Science major at Long Island University’s CW Post campus and one more step towards being a doctor. I’m a Resident Assistant, a member of the NAACP, and the Vice President of Black Students United. I’m trying to be as involved as possible on campus because like I said earlier I want to make the most out of myself and go as far as I can possibly go. I want to be a senator on the student government association, a member of the E-board for my school’s chapter of the NAACP, and I want to write a comic book column for my schools newspaper. I hope that by doing all this that when I reach that point in my life I’ll be able to look back on my past and feel like I accomplished something and made a difference.
11 Things Guys Don’t Understand About Women

Men always say they don’t “get” the female sex, but what specifically—besides their going to the restroom in groups—don’t they comprehend? We found out.
1. Why, oh, why, can’t you create a single, central location for your hair ties and bobby pins?!? And why is there one on the handle of the microwave?
2. Why are women so afraid of bugs but can regularly pour hot wax on their bodies and rip hair out by its roots?
3. Girls and drama! My God, it’s like an episode of Dawson’s Creek! He said, she said…it goes on and on for years. Do you ever get over an argument?
4. I am confused enough about why the onslaught of hormones every month, like clockwork, still takes me by surprise (the next day when she gets her period, I’m like, Oh! We got into a fight because she was hormonal!), but why does that fact take her by surprise? Shouldn’t she kind of realize it and be like, ‘Don’t listen to me—I’m hormonal’?
5. I don’t get why getting married so soon is so important to most women. Is love not enough?
6. Why all the shoes? Really, my sister has suitcases full of shoes that I’ve thrown aside more often than she’s even seen them. It boggles the mind!
7. I don’t understand their attitudes! Everything is good for, like, the first three months, but after that, it’s a whole different ball game!
8. I don’t get why girls say one thing and mean something different. Like when they say, ‘You can watch the game,’ and then when you do, you get in trouble.
9. What I don’t understand is why girls really, really, really want that nice guy, but once they find one, they can’t date him because now they need a jerk.
10. Why do girls not like other girls when they first meet them? It’s as if they have to prove themselves to each other before they’ll consider them acceptable to hang out with.
11. I don’t understand why women can’t just speak more directly. They always want you to do something, but they don’t put it in words. Instead, they talk around the issue. I wish they were more up front and just said it!
How Well Do I Understand Women
What is the first thing women look for in a man is stability
For a typical romantic night out with her guy, a girl would most like dinner outside and a walk along the river
Women are most worried about the way they present themselves
That in a relationship a woman starts to trusting a guy when he becomes a best friend.
In a desparate situation where only one of these can be carried in her handbag, she will choose a small mirror
Women prefer to get married to men who are strong, stable, and are good providers
The one thing most women can't do without is a make-up kit
On a first date, you must never tell her how much you love her
The one trait, women most envy in a man is their status in society
If a Woman really likes you, she will send you suttle glances and smiles to let you know she likes you
If a group of Married women got together they most talk about their intimate love lives
Women feels happiest when their partner supports their decisions
Most women are happiest between the age of 20-30
A woman really feels like a woman she falls deeply in love
In bed, the most important thing a woman wants is closeness with their partner
I got the concepts down, so what am I missing? Maybe it's how I use what I know?
