Okay now back to my questions. If you didn't read my first five check them out below.
Why do we believe marriage is supposed to work?
Why are we one of the few creatures on earth that actually "attempt" to practice a life long monogamous relationship? If you look at the behaivor and practices of the animal on earth they choose their mate for the season and after that it's on to the next. There are a few animals that kill their mates after procreation, and I definitely don't condone that, but I think we should consider the institution of marriage and it's purpose in human existence.
If you think about the fact that more than 50% of marriages will end in divorce, and increasing daily, you get the idea that people don't want to be held captive to just one person for life. This is why I laugh and shake my head when I meet women looking for "Mr. Right", because it's like looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It just doesn't exist.
I can't believe that there is one person that contains all the attributes that one desires in a soulmate. I did a list of things I'd like in my mate and I'm lucky to have 3 or 4 in any one person. So what do I do? Do I just keep looking for that complete package, or do I deny myself the enjoyment of qualities?
Why has pornography pervaded every orifice of technology?
Okay, if you read my recent material you know I enjoy porn. I believe it's a healthy relationship, so hey, don't hate! Now, as much as I like appreciate the internet's infinite supply of every possible and concievable type of porn, I think we might have begin being concerned. I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to go to a special store, where I have to park around back, just to get the latest movies. And porn has always been here, from cave drawings to silent film, but recently it's gotten out of hand.
As of now, there probably is no single technological multimedia invention that has not be touched by it. I mean, cell phones, computers, magazines, t.v., satelite radio, in-dash and seat mounted car dvd players, and now even iPods. iPod!! Now we can walk down the street and watch a porno, or while waiting for the school bus. Part of me says "I wish I were in high school right about now" and part of me is glad i'm not. Primarily because stimulation overload and no place for release wouldn't be good for a 16 year old me.
So now we got access to porn, and no way to slow it down. And I'm aware of the consequences of a society that doesn't have a tight grip on the leash of morality, i.e. Sodom and Gomorrah, but who wants somebody else upholding a moral standard, that you may or may not endorse? So we are left to wait for what will be the next technological device for our viewing or listening pleasure. One day we'll see how this all play out...
hopefully there's no "money shot". LOL. that was wrong...
Peace OUT!
one last little rant... why is there porn of the Simpson's? i'm mean come on! really, The Simpson's?
Peace.

The Questions... Pt. 1
With all the talk of list and tags askin' about the type of women I want, or what I want to do before i die i decided to write some questions, and possible answers that have been perplexing me as of late. Enjoy.
Let's say I'm a die hard Christian, and really thankful for Jesus in my life, and praise Him and all. Does that mean I should be thankful for slavery, to some degree?
I mean, i know it's a stretch. Millions of us Black people in America are direct descendents of slaves, and most of us Christian. Now, we got that religion from White folks and were persecuted under their belief in it, because they (white folks) thought the Bible told them enslavement of the Africans was justified.
So if we pray to this God of the Bible, and thank him for "saving" us, and believe that we have nothing if we don't have him. Then doesn't it go to say that without the chain of events that unfurled, we would be in Africa dying and suffering for our sins? So.... we should thank white people for giving us this religion, even though it was pretty f'd up how they introduced it?
Why do I love chicks with naturals so much?
I remember back when I was at FAMU i'd look past a lot of chicks just to check out the one with the locs, or the low ceasar, or an afro puff. And whats funny all my homeboys would look around and the same room of chicks and say, "there you go" whenever the saw a chick with a natural. My last girlfriend rocked a perm the first year of our relationship, and then one day she surprised me and cut off her hair, and rocked the ceasar. She looked like 10 times better after that.
My current belief is that it's still not culturally typical, acceptable to have a natural, and i like anything that goes against the establishment.
Why do the women of Africa have the smoothest skin I've ever seen?
I was watching a program on women of Somalia, and I couldn't help but notice that the women, even the young one's of pubescent age, had some flawless looking skin. And with all the stress and strife they deal with in thier lives, you would expect it to show, but it doesn't.
Probably because of all the "garbage" we put into our bodies in this country and all the toxins we ingest and inhale, we are unlikely to have the level of perfection in our skin.
Why are Brazillian women so damn fine?
I don't know if I'm jumping on th Snoop and Pharrell band wagon here, but I've been seeing pictures and videos with these women, and I can't help but say "Damn!". It's ridiculous. I hope my enamourment is not based on the eurocentric standard of beauty, but more the Africanity of their features. I haven't figured it out yet. But not everything is worth disecting, sometimes its good not to overanalyze and enjoy the scenery.
Why do people assume I'm born on Christmas?
Ok, let me start of by saying my last name is Christmas... Now, typically your last name comes from your father, who gets his from his father. But for some damn reason a lot of people, mostly white, have to ask either, "where did you get that last name from?" or "were you born on Christmas?". To which I usually say, "From my daddy, ya' damn fool!" or "You don't get last names based on your birthday ya' idiot!", at least that what I say in my head.
My new verbal response is more sarcastic than that. I usually just give them a little genealogy lesson, stating basically that as far as I know we were once OWNED by some white folks in Virginia, and they gave us the name. I guess white people forget about that part in history when they ask question like to Black people.
well that's all for now, more later. Peace OUT!

10 things.
Rules:If I tag you, you have to do the following:
1. The tagged victim must come up with 10 different points of their perfect lover.
2. Need to mention gender of target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged again, there's no need to post a 2nd time.
I can basically sum up the perfect women in one statement, written by an artist named Ras Kass on a song entitled Soul On Ice. “I want a woman with the body of a whore and/ and attitude like Lauryn.” Now that sounds vague, simple and kinda typical for a man, but let me attempt to break that down.
1. The body of a whore.No need for an explanation. But let me do so anyways, before ya’ll get the wrong idea. By whore I don’t mean in the trashy, run-down, slutty dressing sense. I mean the type of check that just has everything, and in the right places. Not so much a model-type chick but a proportioned-type chick. And one who knows how that maintanence is important in keeping it together.
2. Attitude like Lauryn.
Now this portion is based strictly on what I percieved at one time Lauryn’s attitude to be like. With all the craziness surrounding her now, I might have to make adjustments to this. She basically just needs to be “cool”, in the sense that she should understand that all things come in cycle, so stressing or flippin’ out over unforseen circumstances is useless, and will only affect you in the long run.
3. Music.
This is the cornerstone of any strong relationship with me. An appreciation of my music. I don’t necessarily expect all women to up on Little Brother, or Mos Def, or whoever, but just open your ears to it. I don’t want to hear “Cut that crap off” if I’m bumpin’ it in the whip or something. Ya’ might get kicked out the ride for that. Plus a fan of soul music. See #2
4. Trust and honesty.
I guess these are important. Everybody says they are, so I guess they are. Sometimes I don’t feel like hearing the truth, I am human, and sometimes the truth eff’n sucks. It’s good to be in the Matrix every once in a while. But mostly the truth is good if not a great way to keep a relationship moving forward.
5. Compassion.
Compassion for human suffering, and for the basic needs of all people. The realization that all people need an advocate, and the willingness to be that advocate. See #2
6. Understanding.
Understanding of every Man’s basic “needs”. We all know what these needs are, so there’s really no need to elaborate. Women just need to know that sex is a drug, not a weapon, and as with any addiction, it will take more of that “drug” to satisfy the urges of it. So be conscious of that.
7. Open-minded.
Being open-minded, to me, is a very attractive trait. The willingness to step away from the traditional school of thought, and considering embracing a new and alternative one, will win my affection all by itself. This partially relates to item #2 and #3.
8. Self sustaining.
I like women who don’t need a man to complete them. The type of chick who will go to the mall by herself, or will go treat herself to nice dinner. Sometimes we need that space.
9. Sense of Humor.
I like to crack jokes and have fun laughing at silly stuff. There is a time and a place to be serious, but I go with the old addage, “Laughter is the best medicine”.
10. And last but definitely not least a healthy respect for Porn.
I think so many women tend to think that these “skin flicks” are dirty, sinful pieces of entertainment with no redeeming qualities. I don’t agree, I actually believe this world would be a much worse place without the genre. “Embrace the Porn” that’s what I say. Not really but at least don’t pull out the crucifixes when you come across one.
I really have no other requirements for women, except that you adopt and embrace the language from my previous post on what our children should be exposed to.
now, do i know 8 bloggers? i don't think so. so if you get tagged by me, deal with it! just jokin'.

Is it possible?
One quick question... I'm wondering if it's at all possible for men to be "on their period". I mean i know not biologically it's not, but emotionally. Like for example a few weeks ago I wrote some things to someone, who may have considered me a friend, and I consider her one as well. But, yeah, so i go off on this rant, which at the time seemed very logical, and purposeful, and the truth. I emoted like i have rarely done, ever.
So anyways, i ranted and i sent the email rant to this person, and they responded and i replied, and i tried to clarify my previous rant, which probably was just as confusing and the original one. A few days later i ended up going through my email box and i decided to read what i had written and came to realize that i was "eff'n trippin"!
This leads me to wonder, "was i on my period?" Let me know what ya'll think. Peace.
Oh yeah, to the person this is concerning, I want to appologize... Peace.

5 Things...
There are hundreds of different lists posted on peoples sites. Most of these list discuss topics ranging from music to sex history. So I've decided to enter the realm of list posting.
Only thing is my list will be a list of thing to do before you die. Not in the "visit Europe" or "be successful" sense of the word, but in the "pass this on to your future generations" sense. Aside from our religious or moral convictions I think that there is a lot of information that we need to pass along, in order to further the "cause" for Black people in the U.S. So without further ado:
5 Things We Should Show Our Children
Only thing is my list will be a list of thing to do before you die. Not in the "visit Europe" or "be successful" sense of the word, but in the "pass this on to your future generations" sense. Aside from our religious or moral convictions I think that there is a lot of information that we need to pass along, in order to further the "cause" for Black people in the U.S. So without further ado:
5 Things We Should Show Our Children
- "Willie Lynch Letter"-- I know by this point many have either read or heard this letter, and some have discounted the importance of its effects on the condition of modern Blacks. But the letter is one of the most important documents on the systematic distraction of a people to date. Not since the letters of Jeffrey Amherst discussing the destruction of Native American Indians by offering them blankets infected with Small Pox, has their been documentation that so affected a people or that told of the crimes that would be perpetrated against them. The Lynch letters authenticity has been in question recently and the fact that it could possibly be fake is inconsequential. It still has the ability to simply enlighten us to the ways of Black people and those mental disorders we suffer from.
- "The Spook Who Sat By The Door"-- This book, written by Sam Greenlee, is valuable to all those interested in seeing the true power that Black America could possess. Not to say that the means used by the main character in this book is the only way for Black people to gain power in this country, but the methodology by which he did it might be. What I feel this movie suggest, is to do as we have been preaching to each other forever, "Each one, Teach one", and "Give back to your community." Meaning, that we should take what we learn at our schools and jobs, and use that to create new opportunities in our own communities. There is also a movie from the same title, but books always have been a more thorough way of passing information.
- Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America-- The faces placed on the greatest crime in this countries history will never leave you after opening this book, and they never should. These images are, in my opinion, as important as the one's showing Jesus Christ's crucifixion. That may sound preposterous to some, but without being able to see expressions on the faces of our ancestors, whether that is the role of victim or victimizer, it will not be possible to connect on a human level with this chapter in our history. The same way the movie "The Passion" attempts to show us, visually the suffering Jesus endured on behalf of our souls, these photo's depict those men, women, children, and unborn children's suffering on behalf ideology of some in this country. One will bring you closer to God, and the other closer to Yourself.
- The Collective works of Malcolm X-- Malcolm X is an often denigrated, amazingly, Civil Rights leader. His ideas on the use force, contradicted those of Martin Luther King's, as a way of combating the ills of racism, were unwelcome in many social circles during his time. Because of that many of his teachings are put in to one soundbite "By any means necessary". But he was very dynamic and spoke on all issues, most of which affect us to this very day. He primarily attempted to drive us toward, as aPeople, to the idea of self-sufficiency. It is really important that his values be put on display to future generations, because of the fact that they are alternative to the MLK approach which is often praised in this country. Our children will need that information in order to make accurate assessments of how to address this countries social, political and economical ills. Speeches, books and some movies have all accurately depicted his life, and even his change from the more radical ideology of the Nation of Islam, to that which he arrived at late in his young life.
- Appreciation of the Black Woman-- Above all the items mentioned in this blog, this has to be the most pivotal. For without women who have been respected, admired, inspired, educated, enlightened, guided, and supported, we will never have a generation to which we can inform of the issues previously stated. Women are the first teachers, and the first loves of our children. They have the power to move a movement, and once we begin to adopt a philosophy and a psychology that recognizes that, we will continue our slow decline, aside from the modest individual gains of a few in our society.
Now, with that all said, I admit that, for the most part these are just my opinions. I also must say that my list is only 5 deep, obviously I have many more things I feel should be carried into the future, but it wouldn't be a pretty site to see everything. Plus "the man" is out there watching. I'm sure drawn into a conversation on it, I would probably expound upon it. So if you want to discuss it more, I'm all ears.
Peace.

Yin Yang
My daughter is a few weeks old now, and I find that her birth has inspired me to do a lot of quiet reflection. Reflection on the past nine months. Then the whole nine month processes culmination into this end-of-the-beginning, which was pretty euphoric for me. It's so euphoric that it helps me to understand my own desire to have as many children as my body, my wife, and my wallet can.
I remember when my son was born, and how my mind was flooded with things that I couldn't wait to teach him. The ability and responsibility to form and shape his young mind, seemed like an awesome opportunity to "live again" so to speak.
But I digress. Back to my subject of the day. My little princess. Along with the state of euphoria I've been feeling, there is yet another equally powerful depressive feeling that has arisen in me. The yang, to my yin is based in the encounters with women I've met throughout my life.
When I got to college, and began interacting with more women I began to get more and more knowledge about their secret lives. By "secret" I mean the mental and physical suffering some of them had experienced. The stories were so unbelievable to me, to think of all the things a man would do to a woman. And for the most part there was nothing they could do to protect themselves. That incenses me, and at the same time depresses me.
I have to, from jump, adopt a pro-active role, of course, but at the same time there is a sense of hopelessness that I have to accept. I long ago resolved to certain things for my own life (death, wealth, poverty, etc.), but to have to do that for your children is something I wasn't prepared for. It's not something I want to have to do. But I know that I have to for my own sanity.
I think educating myself on the subject will prove to help bring me out into the "light". So, I've decided to go to the library and check out some books on dealing and coping with raising girls. Allah Christmas
But alas in this "Cold, Cold World" we live in, and I'm going to have to remember that.
Peace.
If you have ideas on this please share. Peace.

But alas in this "Cold, Cold World" we live in, and I'm going to have to remember that.
Peace.
If you have ideas on this please share. Peace.
