further from your dreams*
These situations can be anything from school, sports, relationships, friendships, theatre, etc*
Recently I was given a situation, and instead of jumping on it 100%, I was nervous and gave it 75... I can honestly say that this is one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made in my life. I often look back on everything I did wrong, and wonder "Why didn't I just go all in?", "What was I so scared of?" and "Why did I assume this was going to be like the past?". All of these are questions that are hard for me to answer, because unfortunately the answer is "IDK". But then I wonder, how don't I know why I didn't give this my all? Now I feel like the biggest idiot in the world, and I would do any and everything to go back and change things.
If this happens, sometimes there are things you can do to fix the situation::
Sometimes the opportunity is gone and there is nothing you can do but blame yourself::
But to Rewind:: what happened?
Did you lead them on?
The best thing to do is to be completely honest. If you are weighing other options, let that be known. If you are terrified, let that be known. If you're not sure what you want, let that be known. With any doubts, thoughts or feelings that you have LET THEM BE KNOWN. If the response you get isn't what you want, then you know that this is not opportunity for you. But if they take you with open arms and talk to you about your fears then what's stopping you?
When there is something that you really want, no matter what it is, how hard it is to obtain, or how scared you are; jump on the reigns and go balls out. If things don't go the way you planned you can always say "At least I gave it my all". The worst feeling is "I wish I would have gone harder/given it my all".
The reason I started this whole blog in the first place was to voice my opinion on certain topics, and hopefully help someone learn from my mistakes. This is my biggest regret and I hope that if someone is on the fence about something, that you don't make the same mistake as me. I've been crying while writing this, because I wish I would have done these things. I should have talked about all of my concerns, my worries and my fears. If I would have done this I would have known that everything was going to be OK. I have no one to blame but myself, and I don't know what to do to fix the situation. The scary thing is, there may be nothing I can do to fix it [the same applies for your situation].
So where do you go from here? The opportunity is lost, your a wreck, and you want nothing more than to get this back. You just KNOW deep in your heart that this was yours, and you will stop at nothing to get it back. As crazy as it sounds, the thing you need to do is chill. Yes, maybe the opportunity is supposed to be yours, but maybe its just not your time for it. While moping is the easiest thing to do [and something that I've been doing] thats not going to bring the opportunity back. Work on yourself inside and out, so that if/when the opportunity comes back you are ready for it. And if it comes back- it's going to be better than ever*

a lesson from Brook Lynne Carter*

A Lesson from Prof. Sosa
2. when one puts down the success or fortunes of another man due to JEALOUSY
IN MY OPINION...
HATING is at an ALL TIME HIGH! GONE are the DAYS where most NIGGAS will give you PROPS for doin something big or achieving something that they COULDN'T accomplish...
AND SADLY...
MOST HATERS DONT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE HATERS!!!
SO ... I present to the WORLD a CHECKLIST of most of the HATER ACTS that many men have to SUFFER with, sometimes on a DAILY BASIS...
1. IF you are "talking" to a girl and feel the need to mention another man's name that you have seen her with, chances are ... YOU ARE A HATER...
(i.e. "So what's up wit you and TONY??")
2. IF you feel the need to use another man's name to approach a female... YOU ARE A HATER...
(i.e., I WOULD try to holla at you, but TONY may not like that...")
EVEN WORSE...
3. if you feel the need to speak to a nigga AND talk about him to a female.... YOU ARE A HATER...
(i.e. TONY cool and all, but I heard he was burning??)
4. if you find yourself telling females, "You let him hit, why I cant hit??" ... YOU ARE A HATER...
(*She won't let you HIT cuz YOU a HATER...!)
IF you suffer from ANY OF these... you sir, may just be a hater...
SO I TELL YOU THIS...
If a girl REALLY wants to have sex with you... she will EVENTUALLY, REGARDLESS of who her "friends" may be... "HATING" on the next man, will not give you any advantage over him... Clearly, he's doin something right and "hitting some spots" that YOU may not be able to touch... Wait your time young grasshopper, in due time you will find yourself some...
MY ADVICE TO YOU...
CUT IT OUT! DROP THAT BS!! WE SICK OF IT!! You think it's cool...but I SWEAR IT AINT! Putting down another man and his fortunes, WILL NOT gain you any. Step your game up, polish your pimpin, and you may soon find you "some"....

Friendemies*
Soo, this has been a very interesting week to say the least. I’ve learned a lot about myself and people who I considered “friends”.
Most people would go around talkin about the other parties involved… and normally that’s exactly what I would be doing too. This time was different thou. I didn’t have the urge to go around telling everyone what happened, in fact, when some people asked me about the situation I was just told them that I didn’t know what they were talkin about it.
It has also made me realize, that u can be 100% genuine with some people, and they will still stab you in the back. But you can fake like you like someone and they will be on you and HARD !! Oh well.. it just goes to show you that you can’t be nice to everyone… sometimes you just have to grab your cohonas [l0l] and be a man about it. As Shawty Lo would say “Ima broke hoes dream, rich hoes cream”
This summer has taught me not to be so judgmental too. I have heard sooo much more things this summer, than I did when I was a freshman. I didn’t think that the change was going to be that drastic, but it was almost like a 180. It’s crazy how much more respect you get at Hampton for not being a freshman.
It also amazes me how much bs people say about others, not caring whether it’s true or not. I can’t even begin to tell you how much ridiculous studd I’ve heard about myself, and people around me... things that aint true in no way, shape or form !! But at the same time… if you’re not being talked about, you aint doin summ right. On that same note tho, when you hear that someone is talkin about you, don’t let it just sit on the back burner… if its someone you're cool with don’t hold it in ( trust me, ive made this mistakes too many times)… say something to them. Its better to go ahead and get it out, so you can either get over it, or drop em. And Ladies…. Ladies, ladies, ladies… please don’t fight. It’s not cute, and no one is laughing with u but ur friends… cuz in the back of everyones mind they like… “look at these dumb girls…” [[brow raise]]. Cuz lets be real, how many beautiful, successful , educated women fight… its cool, I’ll wait for ur answer.
[tick]
[tock]
[tick]
[tock]
[riiiiiing]
exactly, there are none.... moving on
I follow this lady’s blog… she’s a stripper ay Magic City in ATL… her name is “Brook Lynn Carter”. Her blog is absolutebrook.com. I “l-ove” her. She keeps it real, and has helped me look at myself when it comes to things. She has blogs on everything… and I love her blog hard body. She has shown me that just because some one’s a stripper , doesn’t mean that they aren’t normal people. She’s just as much a woman as anyone else… so what if she takes off her clothes for money… that’s her money, and if u have a problem with how she getting it, stop throwin it... [break]
Over all tho, this summer was bomb. I had a lot of fun, met some cool people, and dropped some not so cool people. So as I sit here on my plane home to B’ham I feel accomplished. Everything that I wanted to happen this summer did, and now the fall is going to be on point*
I should have more time to blog when I’m home, I hope us southern girls don’t bore you with our adventures!! l0l . Hopefully im goin out tonight [I did... l0l] … so you guys make have something to look forward too [you do]. Bye guys, love you. Don’t forget to twitta a nigga. =]
So high in the sky,
Monroe.
ps:: sorry ive been making all these rambling post lately... im trying to keep it as raw as i can... without going back and re-editing... im just kinda writing what/how i feel when i feel it. Lemme knw when it gets to bad tho... then ill try to help a lil... l0l. love you guys. =]

Its not your beauty, its yo booty
Susie and Jonny messed around/talked for 3 months. Susie and Jonny stop talking. Susie and Jonny stop messing around. Susie wants someone new. Susie starts talking to Bobby. Susie starts messing around with Bobby. [The Catch] Bobby and Jonny are best friends
Lesson 25:
Its not your beauty, its yo booty*
AHH !! Just thinking about this makes me mad. I mean Im not gonna lie, there our exceptions.
- Sometimes it just happens- you cant always help who your attracted to. If you just started hanging out with this group, it may happen... ONCE*
- You may meet this wonderful guy... and then once you start talking, you realize that him and your ex-boo are friends... its ok to talk... SOMETIMES*
My thing is, why would you KNOWINGLY want to mess around with someones friend.. so they can talk about how you fooled around with both of them to all of their other friends?
Whats even worse then that, is when people mess around within the family... thats gross !! and you should CHILLLLL.... l0l*
The reason I'm bringing this up, is because Ive ran into some people lately who have been doing this like its ok... and its not... you saw what they did on Ray J of Love "Danger, she smashed the homies"... I mean... lets be reallll... boys find it funny to talk about stuff like that.
I mean, like I said, there are exceptions.. and people are entitled to mistakes.... but if it happens ONCE, it should NEVER happen again. There are too many guys in the world for you to be stuck on that one group of friends, that one fraternity, that football team, basketball team...etc*
So lady's.. why don't we start treating ourselves like ladies so that these guys can't think they can pass you around his friends. The first time one of their friends approches you, or he tries to put you on, you should let them know asp that its not goin down like that. My friend Mahd Johnson wrote this note on FB and I think that all ladies should read this.... Im closing the blog off like this::
Peace.Love.Sex.
Monroe.
Real Spit if men aint sh*t........
Then women aint fiber.....meaning for yall slow people yall aint helping the SH*T out...you making it worse...
All on my homepage I get statusess and all kindss of stuff talking about how men aint nothing and this bamma came at you wrong and how you wan a real man....Letss be real...yall dont want a real man...and Im gonna tell you why you dont want a real man...CUZ A REAL MAN IS GONNA TREAT YOU HOW YOU WANNA BE TREATED.....real men are simple we dont really play games ...and for real we dont have no game....Games are for players(something like a pimp ,chuuuuuucchh) so thats what you really want...you want somebody to play the games taht you play back with you....and when they dont, you get mad and say men aint sh*t...please...
1. If you degrade your self by saying that you ...ie."the
baddest b**ch" having all this swag or anything related to it..how can you
honestly expect to get a real man. real men want class , not b*(ches with
swag..lol that dont even sound good...how you gonna brag about being a
b**ch with swag...how bout being a lady with class.....
2. If i see a man in a police uniform..im gonna assume he is
a cop...if a see a lady in a h** uniform im gonna assume she is a
h**...simple...so when you go to the club dress like you looking for sex (with
your breast haning out..the clef of your butt peeking under your dress, or
humping the mess out of everting that looks good to you)...guess what you gonna
get a man that just looking for sex....when you put butt shots up or pictures of
you and your friends bending over in front of a camera on the
internet...guess what you gonna get that repsponds to that... a whole bunch of
..."dam girl that butt is phat" or " im trying to see what that be
like"...these are all quotes comeing from brovas who play the game...and when
you respnd back... first thing the bama is thinking is that you easy..and guess
what fool...you are....real talk..sorry to say it..but if it was that easy to
get your attention..dam..i know some bammas that would have you..let me
stop
prime example of the exact opposite of this I would a young lady thats on my friend list im not gonna put her full name but Jasmine J...im just gonna be real.. youngin is probaly one of the most maturist (sp), classiest (sp), and sexiest yougnins I know...real spit I aint never really seen youngin half naked when i have seen her out...or in pictures on facebook...never heard her refer to herself as a b**ch or anything negative, and she keeps her bizness to her self which leads me to...
3. IF YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND WHICH IS SUCH A GOOD MAN (and
vice versa) WHY IN SAM'S NAME ARE YOU PUTTING YALL BIZNESS ON FACEBOOK. they use
to say dont tell your friends about how good your partner is, cuz they gonna
wanna find out... Yall females of today go past that and tell the whole wide
world how good your man is...and then put pictures up...and tagg him in the
pictures...probaly put his twitter up to..(follow @foyolyfe)...keep your
business to yourself...and if your man was as half as good as yall say he
is...you wouldnt even have time to be on here talking about him...you would be
to busy at least attempting to love him back just as much as he loves
you....Loving your queen is hard work for real men...espcially since most men
are lazy...and if it aint hard work for the man...it means he aint loving you
right or he loving some one else...while you up here talking bout him...he
inboxing some young freak thats reading your status....thinking of all kinds
debauchery...
REAL MEN ARE GONNA TREAT YOU LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. woman created this game...yall are bred and raised to learn how to please and get a man from birth...we when were born we are raised to play in the dirt and pick up bugs and football....then later on after we start to notice girls we pick up on how things ran..yall created this game and you mean to tell me you cant find a man to treat you like a lady..how is that so when woman was playing with doll babies, and dress up, and all this other feminine stuff when they are you young. us men weren't learning pick up lines when we were young..we were dirt monkeys, and girls had cooties...so how is it that yall keep finding men that aint bout nothin ...you know why...take a guess.............................cuz you aint fiber...for all yall slow people...YOU AINT S**T EITHER....STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE GAME YALL CREATED UNLESS YOU REALLY DOING SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT...TEST SINGLE "mamacita" SHOULD BE UP TOMMOROW IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT...MAKE SURE YALL DOWNLOAD SO YALL CAN HEAR SOME REAL MAN WORDS ABOUT WOMAN...

Front Street, Woah
SOOO, as I was reading on of my daily blogs YESTERDAY, I noticed that Bow Wow had made a rather rude comment about what APPEARS to be Kim Kardashian and his ex Ciara... via Necole Bitchie.com from Bow Wows Twitter:
::Fellas, don’t you feel like a G when ya ex and another girl u banged or f*cked around with r now friends? boosts my ego up! like daaaayum ima pimp
::wat makes it funny i dont think she knows! ha! im laughn lol….
This comment was said shortly after this picture was released:
Girls hate when you try to put them on blast. If Bow did get Kim, what makes him think that she would be with again if he's tellin all of her business? Girls aren't dumb... we catch a bunch of the lil sly bs that guys try to say when they are around their homeboys. Trust we do the same stuff with our homegirls. But NOONE likes their business put on front street, Now if this isn't about Kim, Bow STILL messed up, because it's no secret that Kim and Ciara have been hanging out lately, and everyone is going to be jumping to conclusions. I'm sure Kim will have something to say about this... since people or wondering. OR, would it be better if she didn't say anything and just let everyone keep guessing?

A wilting flower
A friendship is like a relationship. You spend time with someone and grow close to them hoping it will last. & when it doesn't how do you feel? lost, empty, down, etc. as you should. the problem with people is that they don't know what friendship means. it's more than hanging out with someone. A real friend is honest, they have your best interest at heart, they weep with you when times are hard, and they rejoice with you when times are good. It involves genuine love and trust. If people were to evaluate friendship based on those that, they would realize they have fewer friends than they thought.
people hit it off via facebook, get drunk one time, party together & give each other the label 'besties'. it's sad, really. because then we have those who actually value friendship & get played by people who could careless whether they talk or not. when did heartless become the theme song of people ages 18-25? when did it become cool to not care about anyone but yourself? get yours, look out for yourself, all that jazz...but the reason it's so hard to trust people now a days is because no one cares about anyone but themselves. no one cares about friends, they just care about being kept entertained & not being alone. I know so many cliques, they have a million and one pictures on facebook @ parties laughing and hugging, but in real life they talk about each other like nobodies business. Like they were all just like ‘you know what im rude, and so are you, so lets just be rude together” they left you passed out drunk in ur room & went to a party, but u still call them ur friend? Oh hell no.
I would say the easiest way to spot a bad friend is 1.) how often do they switch friends? 2.) WHO are their friends? If someone cant keep a friend or is always running with other people who stay in drama, that is a major red flag.
Smh ppl love to trip over a significant other they've been with for a few months but not over friendships they've had for years. You let him smash because he paid u a little attention, then he broke your heart, & a year later ur still not over him. but wait, you're the same female that couldn't care less whether or not you talk to your bestfriend you've had your whole life. it's nothing to break off that friendship, but let a man do you wrong...your devastated. when you're truly someone’s friend, you aren't just okay with them being out of your life. it's basically like they died. you don't see them, speak to them,...they're just a memory of some of the happiest times in your life, but now theyre gone
That is so not the way to go. God wants us to put others before ourselves (within reason), humble yourself and love everyone.
The easiest way I have learned to avoid all the drama, is of course to trust nobody, but also, stop putting your faith in people. They will always fail you. Always. God is the only one who will ALWAYS do you right and hold you down. Not saying to shut yourself off from the world, like I said you should love everyone, but don’t attach yourself to someone you barely even know, or better yet know is shady
Wow, Im sure a bunch of ppl at Hampton needed to hear this. Thanks for the story ! Have a similar story? send it in !! talesofmonroe@aim.com

Stop Please! then text me I am nothing but nice in my response that I just don't want to talk because I would never do that to her so I expect the same treatment the next morning i receive more texts and this time the tone is rude and almost like she is trying to play me! So i stop responding... I have been back home now and recently a friend called telling me she is claiming she was drunk and does not even remember... HA! Please! Lets be grown and start taking responsibility you know because you text me and know wont talk to the guy.... YOU were wrong and you are not Jaimie Foxx so stop blaming it on the alcohol!
