What if I stayed in the hood and grew up in the projects?
What if my dad married my mother?
What if I concentrated on basketball when I was younger?
What if I my if my uncles and aunt had children?
What if my step dad stopped drinking?
What if I decided to go to another HS?
What if I didn't go to college?
What if I didn't switch majors?
What if I didn't help my friends with their school work?
What if I didn't tutor students?
What if I didn't fall in love?
What if I had children while I was in school?
What if we didn't split up?
What if me and the girl I fell for go somewhere and live together?
What if ....What if....?
How many people lives would I affect had these actions occurred?
Everyone one's personal decision and outcomes has an affect on each other
We are interconnected like the lines of a telephone
Like the nerves system in our body
Nothing is guaranteed, we are a living Russian roulette

I tell you bout this girl who puts a move on my heart
She put me under some anesthetics as she operated on my heart
All the pain I endured has disappeared
Nothing can mess with me now
High off her chemicals, laughing nonstop, smiling like a Chestire cat
Conjoined together as if we were one mobile contraption
Moving in opposite directions like a game of tug of war
Neither one of us never wanting to let go
Going too fast like a speeding freight train
But weren't on the same track
We had to split before we suffer a severe wreck
Pleasurable experiences shared together
Now miserable agony suffices
Moments of time when everything is cool and flowing the right way
But now the chemicals are wearing off Doc
The pain is flowing in with no mercy
I felt a deep void in my body with sharp pains
Someone has put a move on my heart and now I feel the after affects
Things don't make sense anymore
So now I expect the worse from anyone I come across
Nothing lasts forever, the anesthetics will soon stop
The strength of having patience to overcome the impossible
Recovery mode initiated with God as my personal trainer

Advice every young man should consider
I found this list on a msg board.....real deep stuff
My life was dysfunctional until the age of 50 because I naively accepted the feminist assumptions purveyed by the mass media. I never imagined the financial elite is engaged in a war to destabilize society by trashing heterosexual roles. This hateful government attack on the traditional family continues unabated today. The purpose is to create a totalitarian New World Order where mind control replaces jackboot.
Like millions of men, I was let "off the hook" by sexual liberation and feminism. Instead of becoming a husband and father, I was free to have sex and search for my "identity." Often sex and identity were confused. I didn't understand that men mature and find direction and purpose by assuming the responsibility of marriage and family. As a result, I suffered from arrested emotional development and missed my opportunity to have a family.
What follows is an antidote to elite feminist propaganda. I don't want young men to fall into the same trap.
1. The creation of a strong and loving family is perhaps the highest goal to which a man can aspire. This is the natural process by which men (and women) grow over a lifetime. This is how we find love and intimacy. It isn't for everyone but it is the path to happiness for most.
2. Stop listening to the media, your peer group or parents. "Trust thy self," Emerson says in Self Reliance (1841) "Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist." What are your instincts telling you? For example, I always knew I wanted to rule my own roost but feminism prohibited this. Obey your instincts.
3. Make work (not women) your passion. Work is the backbone of a man. Men gain self-confidence from performing a task well, and receiving reward and recognition. Women will try to come between a man and his work but don't let them. Don't let anyone or anything thwart your gift. Women do not respect men who make them their first priority. Your work will keep you on course and help you avoid temptation.
4. Our society makes sex, love and female beauty into a phony religion in order to distract and manipulate us. Sex and beauty soon become tedious. The magic ends. Real love develops over a long period of time and is based on trust and caring.
5. Do not put beautiful women on a pedestal. They are flawed like everyone else. They are more trouble because of their sense of entitlement. Do not marry someone based on sexual infatuation. I recount this error in my book "A Long Way to go for a Date." Never show weakness. In courtship, don't appear eager. Women interpret this as weakness. Keep your dignity. Nothing earns her respect quicker than rejection. Men think they will be loved for their sterling qualities. This is not so. Women are looking for men who make them feel secure. They want men who exude confidence. If you're insecure, remember there are many woman more insecure than you.
6. Now that I have emerged from the hormonal haze at age 55, I can see that sex is a fraud and really a minor part of life. Sexual frustration is used to distract and sell us. People wouldn't be frustrated if they got married at a young age as they did in the 1950's and started families. Women should marry and have kids before going to university; men after beginning their careers.
7. Society is addicted to sex. The atmosphere is sexualized. Human relationships have been degraded. The best way to fight sex addiction is to get married. Sexual liberation is not wanting sex (because you have it.) I am now happily married and find outside temptation intrusive. Call it male menopause but I switch the channel.
8. Do not marry a woman who doesn't make you and her family her first priority. Do you want to share your wife with her boss? If you have an aim in life, why would you marry someone who doesn't support it? Or has a competing agenda? In the marketplace of love, men have the power. Our fertility lasts three times as long as theirs. We are the buyers. There are plenty of fine women, especially if we look abroad.
9. Real women are self-effacing. They put their husbands and their children before themselves. Avoid women who compete, control, criticize or complain (the 4 c's). Avoid women who are overachievers. Don't get hung up on unavailable women. They're aren't as special as you think. Choose a wife who complements you and is a good companion. Choose one who will be a good mother.
10. Being possessive is natural. A man wants to possess a woman. Women want to be possessed. In the act of love, we say a man "possesses" a woman. Total love equals total possession. This is not the same as domination. It is a partnership based on mutual trust and love.
11. Think of your semen as your unique spirit and essence. Would you entrust it to a vulgar or mediocre woman just because she is attractive? Ideally we would only have sex with a woman we would want to mother our children. This is why sex was reserved for marriage.
12. The media is doing a number on us regarding children. How often do we see children portrayed in a truly positive light? As the angels they often are?We are rich in proportion to the things we love. The highest love is between husband and wife, and parents and children.
13. Don't waste your time "looking for God." We find God by serving Him, and obeying Him. God speaks through our sense of right and wrong, and ideals of absolute truth justice and love. We are not men if we refuse to sacrifice our "selves" to God ( i.e. obey) . Truth is liberating even if the truth is about our present bondage.
