He Wrote She Wrote ... Shame

"It seems to me that nothing is more painful than a sense of shame that overwhelms you and afflicts the soul. This pain may not even be your fault, but it can still be very acute. It hurts more when you know that there is no natural process, as in the body, whereby the pain will go away. You have to relieve it with your own strength of will, your own discipline, and determination. I had been hurt many times in fights, but nothing equaled the pain I felt at not being able to read. The pain from fighting went away in time. The shame I felt would not go away." Huey P. Newton - Revolutionary Suicide

Ho' Is Short For Honey

A poem by Chrissy Davis ... You Say Potatoe, I Say Potato

You see a whore

I see a woman

Someone's daughter, lost and broken

Not knowing how to find her way home

~ In The Face of Indigo

He Wrote, She Wrote ... Revolutionary Suicide

Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite. We have such a strong desire to live with hope and human dignity that existence without them is impossible. When reactionary forces crush us, we must move against these forces, even at the risk of death. We will have to be driven out with a stick. ~ Huey P.Newton

He Wrote, She Wrote ... A Rumble in VA

A Rumble in V.A by Rayven Skyy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Rumble in V.A. is one of my first urban fiction read(s). It started well and held my interest throughout, enough that I finished it over a long weekend. Clever plot leads to an explosive ending as we follow "Milk" and his turbulent relationship with his girlfriend turned wife Sabrina through the Tidewater of VA. Lust, betrayal, invalid truths, greed ... it's all about the takeover.

If love is blind then lust has twenty/twenty vision.

He Wrote, She Wrote ... Devil in the Mist

Detective Zack Monstar The scene, the shots and the blood ------ It was like deja vu. No matter how he tried, remnants of his past always caught up with him. Flashing bulbs snapped him back, and he could see himself in the next day's paper, head down, sitting beside the body, with the headline 'Black Youth Dies at the hands of police.'

He Said, She Said ... Relevance

"Depending on others for your relevance is quite sad. Is your personality not worthy to stand alone? Rent a rock. Live under it. :-)"

He Wrote, She Wrote ... Swelling & Pride

When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble [ those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self ] are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness. God ~ The Bible, Proverbs 11:2 [AMP]

He Wrote, She Wrote ... Go the F*ck to Sleep

"The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest And the creatures who crawl, run, and creep.

I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit. Stop lying.

Lie the fuck down, my darling, and sleep."

Self-Nurturing

Beware of self-sacrifice. Deprivation can breed resentment.

He Said, She Said ... Social Media

" ... the point of social media is to be social, interact with others."

He Wrote, She Wrote... Positive Energy

"But rather, when I talk about positive energy I'm referring to the optimism, trust, enthusiasm, love, purpose, joy, passion, and spirit to live, work, and perform at a higher level; to build and lead successful teams; to overcome adversity in life and at work; to share contagious energy with employees, colleagues, and customers; to bring out the best in others and in yourself; and to overcome all the negative people (whom I call energy vampires) and negative situations that threaten to sabotage your health, family, team, and success." Jon Gordon ~ The Energy Bus
