There once was a naive little boy named Royce. After many disappointments, he learned he couldn't trust other people's words or his own emotions, so he locked them away. The end.

No promises

I wonder if I'll ever be strong enough to let myself need somebody, again. Sometimes I think I want to, but I'm just not ready to put my sanity on the line to test that out.

My bday back in December

The shoe and box were actually a cake. Tell me the people in my life don't really know me LOL!

Been A While

Wow, I forgot all about this blog. Chicago has given me a life offline that's much better than I imagined. Anybody out there?

Walking on air (or at least not cussing somebody out)

I don't know about the rest of the world, but when avorite artists have new music out, I'm on cloud 9. And right now, it's a very high cloud indeed. First, Bilal came with "Airtight's Revenge". Then Donell Jones put out "Lyrics". Now, my girl Faith Evans just dropped, "Something About Faith. Lord knows I love that chick. In my mind, she and Mary J. are inextricably linked together. Her albums haven't had the same quality of material, but her talent is just as undeniable.

All 3 have had their fair share of drama and nonsense, which has taken the focus off the music, which is where it should be. As a fan, I'm glad they're still doing it up for grown folks like me. Not to knock the new wave, like Drake or Nicki Minaj, but I just can't roll with that bullshit. All I need is some new deep house music and I'm set for the winter to come.

The NBA is about to jump off too, so my nights in will be good to go. I'm cutting out all that going out I did last year. It was fun, I met some good people and had great times, but it's never been my scene. I'll make my little appearances and before shuffling to the gym, then home. Unless, it's a buffet - in that case, count my black ass all the way in LOL

I'm excited to finally be getting back to being somewhat healthy enough to play continuous sports. After playing regular monday night hoops, I've joined a flag football league which is fun, if not full of the same drama that basketball has, just different people. I'm convinced that most of it comes from gay men dating/screwing each other and/or each other's mates or being rejected by someone. Which is why I keep it 100 & tell folks that I'm just there to play ball and have fun. I'm not looking to break up cat fights or arrange secret rendezvous's. But, my cleat game has stepped up something lovely though hehehe.

ignorance lives on

I hate to offend anyone (actually, I don't give a crap - especially all you hypocritical church queers), but America was NOT founded as a Christian nation. All these people up in arms about a mosque being built NEAR ground zero (not ON, as is often erroneously said) need to chill the EFF out. Someone of every faith (as well as atheist) was a victim of that horrible tragedy. No religious belief should have preference over the other when people start doling out empathy and regret. Confusing the religion with the deranged belief of the perpetrators of the crime is not only irrational, but stupid as well. I understand sensitivity, but not at the cost of promoting ignorance.

Negro Please

Seriously, this is a joke right? Wyclef (aka Puffy with a guitar) is running for the Haitian presidency. I don't know if this speaks more about his self importance or the ineptitude of the Haitian government. All I know is I won't be listening to the swearing in concert, regardless. And isn't he still trying to calm his wife down from the last infidelity debacle? Dude was paying his executive 'assistant' over $100K (guess it's expensive to find a bitch to tell him his music didn't suck) for a position she wasn't qualified for (although we now know what positions she WAS qualified for). Um, that sounds extra suspect to me, your honor. Then his stupid ass, I mean, loving wife found nude pics of homegirl on his phone. When will these people ever learn. Hell, I have absolutely NO fame, power, wealth or even a boyfriend, and even I know not to keep risque pics on the celly. He'll prolly win in a landslide.
