Well... before I begin... I would like to say Thank You for taking time out of your very busy schedule to read these few wordz.

WARNING............... WARNING .............. "

Those of you who love the Art... of Grammar

Those of you who do not believe that a writer should ... (Mis-use) the rules and laws that govern Grammar and Punctuation. Thank you once again.. and you should click off this page at thiz moment. Why do I say that... ?? Do I care about your reader-ship.... ??? Of Course I do.... that iz why I am here. To connect with a new body of mindz... that are open to new expressions of the writing art form. I suggested to click off thiz writing due to .... the way I write.. the way it flowz from me.. as pen to paper... or fingers to keyboards on my lab-top.

I don't alwayz write by the Laws that Govern Grammar. I do not intend to disrespect the rules or laws of Grammar..., I just have my way of expressing my self. Like... thiz iz what it iz.... and I can not change it.... So Please accept my true apoligies to those who might get offended on the way I write.

I utilize the Ellipsis all the time..., I love the pause.... to think at all timez.. what iz being stated. I don't even remember how I feel in love with writing with Ellipsis'. Also I substitute the Z .. to replace the letter S . Why... there iz no reason... it just feels better to me. (LOL) In other wordz.. I just write.. sometimez.. I get inspired to write in different writing formatz.... so I just go with the flow. To open with that... ( Takes a Deep Breath... ) now can we begin.... I would like share wit' you... something my Popz... ( My Village Father ) shared wit' myself...

.... " I waz at work.... bout.. 8:45 AM-- I was picking up trash... on the property ... that iz our 1st project we must do 1st thing every morning. And there waz a song... from the 70'z and a part of the verse.... that I just did not understand... the whole theme of the song... was " It's a Thin Line between Love and Hate.. " Staying out late.. the Man coming home at 5 AM..... Sht! We know what that is... ( Smiling while I type.. ) She feed him and didn't say a thing to him... not one single word to start a argument.... Right ? Then he wakes up in the hospital half dead. ( Like I'm totally Lost... What the _____ happened ? So I called my Popz and I asked him... what did that mean... what happened to him... ? My Popz stated.. " Son.. that is for you to use your own imagination...... I paused..., he said " You there Son.. ?? "

I replied.. " Yes Sir.. " and then something else takez place.... My Popz startz to snap...on how I should treat the woman.... and she iz not to be played wit'.

He gives me play by play... on expamples on how Men dog the women out... from scriptures to the Hood. ( Streetz ) and the Street Versionz had me like.. Damnnnnnnnn !

Well Hot Damn..... I did not want hear thiz.... as I was close to hooking up .. or spending a lil' time with thiz Beautiful Sista' ..! Well 2 hours and 14 Minutes later is when we got off the phone. I went back to working like I waz... almost done with thiz Make-Ready. And it waz like a ringing..... I could hear.. and I started to reflect on the word hurt...and all the women that came to me..... and I Hurt all of them. ( Sad Face ) Thinkn' to myself... that'z F_____ up Yo'. Thiz feeling of hurt and regret took over my body... I had to sit on top of the 5 gallon Bucket of paint... and regroup. I waz like... iz thiz really happening? I got to start the process of letting them know I am so sorry for the Mis-treatment... and the Mis-Handling .... and not being able to see... how they choose me ... to give me their Love... !!! Man... I tell ya'... that had me going for a couple hourz. And I vowed... that from that moment forward... I will do my best... to remember what I did... and not to repeat those wayz again.

Thank you for listening...
