In December of 2008 I wrote a epic blog which shocked the blog world or at least I thought it did, Blog titled "Cuffin". In said blog I spoke about the issues in which a person would cuff a particular female from the winter months and then drop her in the spring/summer. Now as most of you noticed it's spring time and those valentine day roses have long died and those cards have fell from mirrors to the floor behind dressers, friday night cuddle sessions are a thing of the past, cute saturday dinner and movie dates have been erased for weeks now and those "Anti-Men" away messages are popping up left and right, But why you ask? Because Cuffing season is officially over and dudes are back in rare form chasing anything with a french manicure and spandex. Oh but please don't get it misconscrewed woman are just as guilty as their men counterparts. Trying to call your lady and it's going straight to voicemail or when you question her about her whereabouts and she say she was with keisha and nem', At 3 in the Morning tho????
Answer for cuffin'? Not in a million years Just be very cautious about whether or not your getting played.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Relationship edition
In the begining there was the female edition, followed closely by the male edition.
"Girl, well you know we've been dating for 8 years, you've been there through almost everything in my life and I want to make you my wife. Will you Marry me?"
Now I'm sure these are words every woman at some point in their life would love to hear, but how does one make it to marriage? Yes dating and sharing a boyfriend/girlfriend titles are good starts, but what initially makes a man want to throw away his little black book and come home to the same woman every night?
When two people decide to get into a relationship its because they have a great amount of feelings for each other and would like to pursue those feelings into something more prosperous. A long the way those feelings may prosper or decrease due to a number of factors. When you first meet someone you meet their Representative and not the true them. The representative shows up and lures the person in to the point where they are blinded by the true individual. But like anything in life the truth always comes to the light leaving the partner to decide if they want to stay or go. However what if before you got into a relationship you had a checklist to review sort of like going grocery shopping. YUP! thats right I will provide you with that list so when you go shopping your able to pick out the fresh from the ripe.
Intelligence - Now, I'm sure we're all vivid watchers of for the love of Ray J, Flava of love and every other crappy Vh1 reality tv show, hell we're all bloggers it somewhere in the guidelines to like each of those shows. Well if watching the show you go he/she cant be smarter than the grapes or banana shes eatting. We all want to appear to be somewhat smarter than we really are thats why we use bigger words than normal or watch the discovery channel to gain to that knowledge so we can talk about something other than New Yorks boob job or why flava wears that viking hat.
Finance - I'm sure the corner store hero's are an excellent choice for a late night snack or ray's pizza shack might have the best slices in the city but when courting a young lady is this really the place you want to take her to start off a relationship. Now I know the guys are think "J.O what if shes a gold digger?" chances ar if she's a G.D once u pull up to either spot she will spazz on you and bounce. I know most of us arent jayz or 50 status but atleast be better than ODB status.
L.O.C- Lines of Communication. The leading cause of Break ups is communication. Communicating is more than just speaking, the art of listening is almost lost in todays society. Today everybody wants to be heard and doenst want to listen. Many of divorces and child support cases could've just been avoided if the lines were open more and people took the time to understand where each other was coming from.
Apperance - We all have that bad hair day, Laundry day, or the the F it day, but if your having those kind of days more than 4 times a week chances are your spouse wont find you attractive and when be will in the words of TLC choosing to "Creep". No you dont have to be tyson beckford or beyonce everyday but try to realize when you went and got that fresh cut to impress shorty or when you paid selena at the domincan spot 60 cash for that wash & set you were making a statement that you cared about your appearance. Taking ME time will save any relationship.
Accountability- the biggest man or woman in life is the one that can admit to his or her mistakes. I hate to see people in life go around blaming peoples for their mistakes. If your 30 still living in your moms basement she isnt the blame you are. If you went to the club and have 3 patron shots and at the end of the night kissed 5 guys and had sex with your roomates man your the blame not your roomate man. If you can take responsiblity for your actions relationship will flow alot smoother.
Trust- Men Lie woman lie, but the first time you lie break up, its over, Seriously. Relationships in order to work need an enomorous amount of trust so once you break that rule and get away with the first lie your going to keep going and going and going until you get caught. The worst part about lying is keeping up with all the lies, thats why I try my hardest to always tell the truth. My brain has so much going on so keeping up with every lie would be damn near impossible.
This checklist is proven to work, I have applied it to my love life and so far we are doing great, apply these tips while I'm giving them out for free because soon I will be charging soon.

Fresh Jr.
=
I can't believe that a party invite, multiple Grey Goose/cranberries and a sexy monkey created the picture above. I keep looking at the picture hoping that it will speak to me and say "da-da". His head is huge like mine and he has big lips like me, it's just so hard to believe in October he was resting in my scrotum and no he almost here. Looking at that picture I see more than a child who has yet to be born, I see my hopes my dreams my all basically. They say the love from a parent is unconditional and I can def feel where that comes from. I'm just so amped to be a dad and cant wait to have someone to beat 1 on 1 in basketball, play video games, first beating, first day of school all that good Jazz, so with that everybody meet my boy Jordan Jr...

The Pursuit of Happiness : Male Edition
If you've been a faithful follower from the beginning, You walked this interesting Blog Journey with me, From the If I were a girl
Heels On , Cuffin , The break up , The Sidepiece , and the post that leads me to this one The pursuit of happiness : Female Edition. I'm not a psychiatrist or a doctor, however I feel like a seasoned veteran in the love game. I've dealt with a few woman in my day and it seems like no woman could ever understand me, Why? Because either I didn't trust her enough to let my guard downs or either I felt her intellect wasn't on my level so I dumbed it down to be with her. Realistically although Most dudes won't agree with me, We are more complicated to understand than woman. As men we deal with a lot on our plates not saying that woman don't, however I feel the curve for being a man is much stronger than for that of a woman.
As a man from an early age you are taught to have the prettiest girl, best car, biggest house, be in the best the shape, be stronger faster,smarter, just greater and better than average. The pursuit of all those perfections, can take a toll on dudes where we even experience mood swings, not to the extent of a woman, however the pressures of being perfect mixed in with a woman nagging and applying pressure to a situation which didn't need more pressure. In life we all want to be HAPPY. What is happiness though? Is it being that Imperfect Perfection society's need you to be , the dude with the biggest Johnson or fattest wallet? I strive to be happy everyday, not with who society's wants me to be, because honestly society doesn't want to see me succeed, they want me to stand on the corner, with my pants down , and become another statistic in an overpopulated Jail System. That's a different topic though for another day, What is the happiness that Woman from a man? I think no woman can answer that because if asked that question, the answers would contradict themselves and be many different answers.
However as a male I'll tell you what we need to be happy and woman can take it from there and run with it and see what they can muster up to apply to their situation and help their relationship ultimately.
WOMAN - No matter How much we Can't stand y'all or vice verse, No man wants to be alone, that's why we take the abuse and arguments that a woman can bring to you. A woman is like an essential to a man liefs without a woman a man would have no purpose, woman are the reason, we maintain our appearance, drives fancy cars, Expensive garments even Watch Mushy movies. If woman weren't around every dude would walk around in old musty sweats and dusty sneakers because there would be no reason to have new clean ones.
MONEY - Money to a man is like a cock swinging contest, the dudes who have the biggest one would prob be at the front of line like judge me, it's almost identical to people with money, ever wonder why you see so much 50 and Jayz on TV?. Money is important to every man because that's the reasons we grind hard everyday at jobs, to earn money to buy nice cars, nice clothes, which ultimately leads right back to a woman.
SPORTS - Sports have been around since Maximus, Juba to present day Lebron and Kobe, So if you feel that you are going to deny a man his chance to watch his sports you either are on the same coke as wine house and Whitney or are in denial like Rick Ross. I would highly suggest you get a Sports for dummies book and get a seat on the couch because August - June are very important months in the Sports Roster.
FRIENDS - A man's homeboys whether good or bad aren't going anywhere so you need to accept that. No matter How much you think James is a dog and that Terrell is up to no good, those are his boys who were there before for you and likely to be there after you leave. I would tell every woman to not judge her man's friends because although you feel a certain way about their activities you are not dating them and if that's your man's friends he's obviously friends with them for a good reason, So trust his judgement.
SPACE - I know you can't live without your boo-boo but everybody needs space. Everyman needs time with his boys or time for himself to gather thoughts or even just take a deep breath, I sure as hell do from time to time. The best thing is to allow someone to miss you, how can anyone miss you if you crowd them and want to be around them every living second, Just like you have those days when you don't want to be bothered we as men feel the same way.
WANTED - No more how manly your man appears to you we all want that time we when we cuddle and tell you all that good mushy stuff you ladies love to hear. Everyman wants to know that his woman wants him, a time where you put your arms around him and kiss his lips softly and let him know that you will always be there for him.
So in the end just like with most things a Man's happiness is directly related to a woman. Yes Sex, Cooking Cleaning, Present ability are all things that make us happy as well but those are the main outlines to the confusion that you woman know as man. Hope this helped and can help jump start your 2009.

To Zion...
I don't know what exactly is it but I've never been more excited to receive a gift like this, it's almost like everyday is December 24th. I can't explain the feeling of that seeing that sonogram, Before it was just rubbing monks belly and wondering what the heck was in there and what it looks like. I know the picture doesn't reveal much but it seems like I can already smell the scent, or see the little toes and fingers. For some reason I keep looking at that the picture hoping for it to move or at least speak to me. I'm not even a father yet but I can honestly say there's no feeling like this, like just a few months ago I was worrying about what outfit I would buy or How nice 32' rims would look but now this blessing has put me into a whole new mind state. Now its not anymore I's in my life instead I shall now embrace the word WE.
Now onto why the name of the post is Zion. In 1998 a one Ms. Lauryn Hill released the critically acclaimed "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
Well in a synopsis Lauryn is talking about how everyone feels its a bad idea for her and how she isn't ready, should be a little wiser about the decision and should continue her career and place children making on hold. While not exactly directed to my situation definitely a song I can relate too, although mostly everyone has been very excited and super supportive, certain family members have recieved the news with the excitement and joy one should have. I know a lot of them feel like oh he's young , not settled, etc however life is never planned the way you want it to be, curveballs are thrown at you each and everyday and it's all up to you how you handle it. I have the feeling as time goes along the one's who may have mixed feelings may soon open the edition with arms wider than open.
Word's cant explain the joy I feel right now. I still don't know the sex of the baby and still praying thats its a boy, however if a babygirl is in there brewing I will still cry, but I will also cry tears of joy, as long as its healthy and funny like me I will be fine. I'm not sure if many of you care about this but I feel like I will be keeping a trimester update up until Aug 20. (Due Date) that way when he/she is a little older can read the blogs and see how much anticipation was built around their arrival.
P.S. I also have a few things I would like to add to the blog. Like maybe a movie/Album or song of the week, Just cooler things to keep the spice over here :-)

Cupid doesn't lie, but you won't know unless you give him a try....
All my single Ladies, All my single Ladies.... I wonder how many ladies will be in the club singing this on Friday drunk off Long Island Ice teas , Secretly hating their lives because they have No valentine. Valentines day is approaching and you can usually tell who has a valentine and how pretty much doesn't. At work tomorrow take notice of the ladies walking around overly excited and of the ladies dragging their feet around because they know Saturday its going to be her, the notebook and a pint of chunky monkey :-(
Honestly I can't feel bad for a woman who doesn't have a valentine, You had all year to get your ish together so that one handsome fella would take notice to your french manicure, wash/set even the new costume earring you purchased from h&m which brings out your dimples, NO, You chose to walk around with the holier than thou attitude, bash men, and keep the goodies under code red security so now you have to appreciate singles Awareness day by yourself. With that said me and my lady will be enjoy the pleasant cuisine of a one La Cheesecake Factoree, super fine dining and buffing up on our cultural touch with Friday the 13Th, WHY? because she did all of the necessary to be regarded as my valentine.
On the flip side Valentines day is another sham to bash woman's insecurities and make us guys shell out more money and crap on stuff that most woman wont even look at come February 16. If you wait to valentines day to show love to your woman, she should leave you. [Insert cheesy line] Everyday should be like valentines day to your woman [Insert cheesy line]. So if your valentine less don't feel to bad its only one day and tomorrow every dogish thing that most men do will resume.So if your a side chick don't feel to bad Side chick day is February 15, so all that ladies that didn't get to be with that special someone on the 14th will have their chance. So with that said I hope everyone enjoys their Russel stovers candy and big brown teddy bear holding a heart saying I love you, Wait is it that predictable?

I'm getting Married...
Disclaimer : No, I'm not getting married.
"Picture us Married, You and Me, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" - Nasir Jones
So my daily mental ipod session occurred again this time the song was "Getting Married" by Nas. For some reason if I hear a song I go into a weird zone, where I start visualizing different scenarios and imagery of certain situations. I Imagined what my wedding would be like, like it would be some extravagant royal wedding(Ala Prince Akeem) or Something subtle and Secretive(see: Jay and B) But I quickly shook out of the thought because honestly the thought was quite scary.
In my earlier years during one of my late night Phone Conversations she asked me "Do I ever want to get married", I nearly hung up on her, the nerve and audacity of this girl to think that I would ever hang up my jersey and retire to the same female for the rest of my life. Looking back at that I smile and think that the inevitable is someday going to happen when I have to make "the final walk".
Ms Sampson was my English Lit teacher at school, and after I handed in a paper on an event that you're least looking forward to in the future, she asked me I would stay after class to speak with her, I instantly was like "Oh sh*t" what could I have done wrong, "Mr. Holmes, I love your assignment your imagery was very vivid and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, may god bless the woman who marries you(Loud Laugh)", I believed Ms. Sampson was making a pass at me, How could she not want me after reading my excellent piece of literature. The event I was least looking forward to was, well you know marriage.
The scene was immaculate at the Polo Mansion as Oha Sang "Queen to be",His vocals gracefully flowed through the speakers, pearly marble floors glistened as woman in star studded freak em' dresses and thin Stiletto heels graced the crowd, As each of my grooms men looked sharp as ever in coogi sweaters, Kangol Hats, Polo slacks and Clark's wallabies. The crowd was reminiscent of a Lakers game at the staples center in mid June, Star after Star even a Bulletproof Black Yukon was doubled parked in front which revealed None other than Mr. and Mrs Barack Obama, Diddy Winked at me and said " It's cheaper to keep her,Bad boy, Take that, Take that" which then began to give me moments of nervousness and have a flashback of my "Playing days", I flashed back to my first kiss or my boys and I at the Pizza shop spinning a pie to see who would land their dream girl one day, first case of blue balls and finally hitting the ball out the park. As My bride approached the alter and I pulled out the ring in which I found at the bottom of the titanic, my bride to be as beautiful as ever due to her Help from David Tutera and his "expertise", As she read her vows, Reverend Jesse Jackson asked me Do I do? Jordan do you take her?....... I then woke up and breathed a sigh of relief that this was all I dream, I then got scared that one day I won't be able to wake up and that this could be my fate....

I Got a habit.
I'm not sure if the majority of the people who read my blog would even know who Max B is, or even care to know. Max B is a Harlem rapper was down with Jim Jones and signed to Bryd Gang Records, However Max had a big falling out with Jim over monies owed to him and such. During his stint at the record label, Max Recorded a song Called "I got a habit", this song has bonifide hit written all over it, but it never made it to the light, so I'm giving you a chance to hear the song. Enjoy!
Well if you skipped over the video, like I do sometime(LOL). Max is basically talking about a relationship between him and the lady in his life. In the introduction of the song Max raps "We all have that special person we love, A little ride or die.....". Well this blog is a post for monkey bear, she always ask me why I don't blog about her or why she's constantly reffered to as the "belly".
Well Monkey Bear and originally met back in late 2004 and have been rocking out since. She's a genuinely nice person and always has my back. I used to listen to a lot of R. kelly however before meeting her "a woman's worth" didn't make sense, now it describes her to a T. I can honestly say besides three of my boys shes like one of the main people I can rely on. Somewhat insecure(I can take the blame for that), Overprotective and worries a lot, but I'm glad she does. I know when life get crazy she always the one to make things right and erase the pain. Now I look back on the painful things I did, cheating, Fighting, disrespecting her, I feel like that ne-yo song "why does she stay", Honestly any other girl wouldn't put up with half the mess I put her through. No she isn't the baddest girl in streets, nor the flyest or best pyshique but just right for me and thats why I'm glad we'll embark on this journey together. I originally wanted to save this post for February 14 but that would've been so cliche and cheesy. So with this post I dedicate it to the girl that no girl can replace, future Wife, Soon Baby Mother to be, My monkey bear ;-)

Liar Liar
" I want the truth"
"Why can't you be honest with me"
"Tell me the truth, I won't get mad, I promise"
"God, I can't Stand Liars"
"I lie to you, cause I care about your feelings"
Since the dawn of time people have been lying, Hell my own race was lied to , thats why we're now called African- AMERICANS. Lying seems to be apart of every civilization, from high power political figures, lying about changes going to be made to economic conditions or the homeless man lying about the money he needs for food that will be used for some alcoholic beverage or illegal drug. As a civilization we've grown accustom to the 'white lie'. A 'white lie" can be defined as an unimportant lie (especially one told to be tactful or polite). I'm what you would call a Black-White liar, a black person who tells white lies all day.
Now there are different type of liars, the compulsive liar, the fronter and then the Black-white liar. The compulsive liar is by far the worst, a compulsive liar is someone who tell you they were in the twin towers the days of the 9-11, was burned and hit by the plane but still managed to make it from the 92nd floor to tell you their story. The fronter(which we all know) is the person who will lie to improve their self esteem or make their image greater than what it is, basically compensating for something that's missing from inside. Then you have the White liar, the person who lies to not crush people feelings or basically sugar coat things.
In the 1995 'cult' Classic "Liar, Liar" Jim carey plays an attorney who is basically what I am an white liar. Jim lied to everyone , everything all day just to help his day because his honesty would potentially ruin everything he worked for. Jim excuse for lying was that "I'm a lawyer, I'm supposed to lie" until his son made a wish on his birthday that he would no longer be able to lie. It definitely didnt work out in his favor, he said mean things and potentially dug a hole for himself.
My problem is I care too much about feelings, However last year I learned that I showed way too much love to people who potentially dicked me over in the end. I forgot who said this but I think it's an very appropriate quote "Show no love, Love will get you killed", However my task for this month is going to be not to tell any white lies and keep it as "Funky" as possible and see how many people are still talking to me, LOL I will keep you guys updated on the progress...

Commitment
During one of our many nightly random aim conversations "Sharita" decides to pick my brain on the subject of commitment. The topic is so broad, yet very narrow when it comes to sides forming an opinion. Here is a conversation between "Sharita" and myself where we discuss the point of an commitment and the opinions each of us share.
Sharita:You know what I was thinking tho
Me: what?
Sharita:You should make a blog about commitment
Me:why should I make a blog about commitment?
Sharita: Lol
Sharita: Because everybody has diff views and problems with it today
Sharita: Excuse me if it may seem I'm implying anything but I'm not; you just seem to touch topics very well
Me: lol
Sharita: passing ideas
Sharita: just an idea is all
Me: cool
Sharita: thanks
Sharita: What do you think about it anyway if I can inquire
Me: *See's Bait*
Me: *Walks around it*
Sharita: OK forget it
Sharita: I don't even know why I asked
Me: but u did
Me: commitment is a positive and negative
Me: positive because it shows a person
Me: you are committed to what is trying to be accomplished in the relationship
and that you are putting your all into it.Negative because things can digress because too much focus is being placed on the relationship
Sharita: OK
Sharita: Females are culprits of doing both ... the negative mostly of course
Me: Commitments should never be done at a young age.P eople are still growing
and developing into their own person
Sharita: def
Me:but, what do I know?
Sharita: But it happens
Sharita: However there is a possibility a couple can grow together And with each other?
Me: that's true
Me: but in that same instance the mind is constantly growing and changing
Sharita: Yes
Me: which can lead people to grow apart
Sharita: I was about to say
Sharita: However nowadays I think, mainly females, commit more to the idea of what it could be or what they want it to be down the line
Sharita: Instead of the person they're with and the values of the relationship
see that's the problem
Me: why worry about what it could be?
Sharita: Exactly
Me: before it actually is, what's wrong with letting things flow?
Sharita: You're right
Sharita: But, Guys always commit to or can I say get comfortable with the idea of know that since their girl is "committed" to them they're always gonna be there,Or they feel they will And then run a muck
Me: most guys don't want to commit, because the majority still want whats out there. cake and eat it to situation or simply the female
Sharita: Oh yes
Me: isn't satisfying them or is satisfying them.yet they still feel there is better out there.
Sharita: Which leads to the infamous topic of cheating
Me: cheating is never going to cease!
Sharita: Which I don't think can ever be understood justified etc
Me: Cheating is all mental, a guy can stop cheating, it all comes down does he want to stop. A man is knows right from wrong, its more of a thrill like will I get caught
or if caught what will the consequences be....
Now I will stop the convo there because its slides of commitment and heads to a whole avenue, I'm not ready to ride down on this blog. Commitment is the biggest step in a relationship. Committing has always been a fear of many people, it brings me back to a blog that "JOY" wrote about the purpose of titles and such. Some like to be committed and some don't. I don't mind a commitment because it gives you almost a sense of security or shall I say safety blanket. My biggest fear of being committed was the fear of the person trying to put restraints on me or "Changing Me", When I say change trying to get me out of my bad habits or hanging with my boys. Now my question to you all is a commitment really necessary? or is it that something that society(Media Mostly) Pushes on us as an essential we need.

'Cuffin'...
Spring is usually the time when most guys dead their wifeys, Summer is usually when all the monkey's come out, fall is when you do just that fall back and winter is when you cuff. Hm mm How can one define cuffin', basically when you give up the game and fall back with that special person for a season only to dead them at the beginning of the spring. Now if your a female reading this and you see your mate or his friends say that he's cuffing you be alarmed, actually be very ALARMED. I'm a vivid away message reader when I'm on jive talk, simply because I'm black, which means I'm extremely NOSY. So it's always comedy when I see people like oh cuddled up with hubby or spending QT with hubby blah blah, all the while thinking to me wasn't YOU the same person with an away MSG similar to this "Love stinks, I give up on all males tired of trying" From the month of March through October. Now lets take a look at the different variations of cuffin', Cuddling, Quality Time and the L- Word.
Cuddling
This right here should be the first red flag, if all of sudden dude wants to hold you close and watch Sex in the city re runs and nibble on your ear, you should be a little concerned. You should definitely ask yourself why wasnt this negro holding me like that in the summer and if he responds its too hot, isn't that what Air conditioners are for. But the ultimate sign is after that climax is if you get pulled close then you should say I'm definitely getting cuffed.
Quality Time
Him : Whats up what you doing
Her : Nothing watching Bad girls club
Him: You wanna' come chill, go do something?
*Alert, Alert, Alert, Alert, Alert, Alert, Alert*
Honestly like c'mon if you've dude have never done anything more than sit on his bed and watch old martin season dvd's then get it on that should raise a flag
L-word
Love isn't a word that shouldn't be spread around like some germs, but it definitely is. How can a dude love you after 3 weeks and then suddenly dump you as soon as the weather changes.
I made this blog because I hate to see people be so naive in thinking that a relationship can change over the course of a 2 week span, How can you be so deeply hurt by a person then be madly in love, if you know anyone that YOU may think is a victim of cuffin point them in the direction of this blog.
