What if men could carry babies?

I recently heard that there's been a rumor going around of a guy being pregnant. I asked around, and am pretty sure it's false. I believe that many things are possible, but a man carrying a baby!!! That's crazy! That would go against every "man law" there is (pun intended...lol...come on; is there really a such thing as a man law?). I can't imagine my wife telling me, "Baby you ready to carry the next one? I've carried the last two, so it's your turn." What!? I would be held literally speechless. One, it's physically impossible for men to carry babies, because it isn't within our given structure to support another life inside of us. I could get technical, but what for right now. I'm keeping this as simple as possible. There's just no way. Why change something like this if you could. Change is always good, but people today like to force things that shouldn't be (tangent-->case in point ligers. have you seen those things! they're monstrous!). I have nothing against people who are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgender, but don't try to have things that you weren't meant to have. For example, if you don't have a penis, what do you need one for; if you don't have a vagina, why; if you can't carry babies, who in their right man would want to (excluding woman who can't physically carry babies due to a genetic defect, my heart goes out to them)! I'm a heterosexual male who loves women and that's me. You cannot knock my hustle and no one should ever knock your hustle (shout out to Jay-Z...lol). All I know is I will never carry a baby. That's that. Oh, and also, people just are content with who they are. Just be you. I'm confused how people get breast implants, breast reductions (i feel David Chappelle, because if you have big breasts, then do some exercises for your back to strengthen so you can supoprt those big mellons...lol) penis enlargements (if you don't have a big penis that just means you weren't meant to be a porn star and you'll be practicing felatio alot...lmao...i'm too funny, and i'm not at a disadvantage, for I was blessed by God...shout out to God) fake calves, nose jobs, chin jobs, etc etc etc. The list can go on and on of numerous things that people are insecure of. Like Kat Williams said, "It's called self-esteem! Esteem of your mutha-f%*&ing self!" Be happy with what you got. I'm gonna write a whole other entry on that as well. Peace

Cutting people out of your life...hmmm?

Just the other day I was having a conference call with a few of my fellow college alumni. We are all good friends and have decided to throw an event together. For the past couple of months we've been in contact talking about logistics, life in general, and future plans. One who is a very good friend of mine is actually an ex-girlfriend. Somehow out of nowhere she said that she was cutting me out of her life (lol...shakes head in disappointment). At first I thought it was kind of funny, but then I deduced that it was a really mean statement. I thought our friendship was beyond that. Never had I felt that I was going to cut her out of my life, because I still feel that we are good friends and if ever I was to have a special moment in my life I would want her to be there or know of it. Her argument, basically, was that recently at church (I'm not sexist or anything, but women in general, who are spiritual and have been brought up in the church, take everything their past says for being right...sorry) her pastor said that when you enter a stage in your life (e.g. being married) you have to cut people out of your life, so that your past feelings will not pull you back-n-forth from what you are building with your newly found partner. I felt hurt, but if she really did it in the future, that would prove to me how much of a friend I was to her, because I wouldn't do the same to her. I agree that certain people do need to be cut out of your life, for example, if there is a particular someone that the only relations you had with him/her were sexual and you were seeing someone else and trying to have a serious relationship, then maybe you don't need to be around that person who you had these strong sexual relations with. On the other hand, though, I feel that if someone who you have known for a long period of time and they are important to your life as just being friends you don't have to take drastic measures in cutting them out of your life. If your man-enough/woman-enough to marry someone then you should be able to conduct yourself accordingly around your friends. If you have a problem being around them, then you're just not grown enough to put what's in the past, in the past. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but have your own opinion. Something that I really dis-like is when people all of sudden when they hear something from someone take it for being the truth, when it sounds so good, and right; they never took the time to think about it and formulate their own opinion or to even ask questions. (sigh) All right. That's enough for now. I wonder what others think?

Prostitution is the occupation for young women of the future??!!

After this media blitz of all the dirt from Governor Spitzer--soon to be "former" governor by tomorrow--the prostitute, but being the gentleman that I am, I will call her PYT (pretty young thing, has recently come out with a hot new track. And for some reason radio DJ's and hosts have been playing it. What is this world coming to? After getting paid well over 3K an hour will Governor Spitzer you get that much closer to a record deal? I know all the women that have been honestly hustling and have never compensated their morals or their bodies to get them that much further in the game. They are tight right now! People are accepting her for a singer now, and for not what she was doing. Now young women are going to look at this and be like..."dam! i can make 3K an hour! And then become an actress!" Let's be real here. I'm just disappointed and ashamed. I would never play her track. It's not in my hands though, but I can at least give my opinion.

Just an update I recently received about the young lady who likes to be known as "Kristen." Just some stats for you...Her myspace page went from a few thousands hits to well over 5 million since the news broke out, who the prostitute was that was spending these nights with former-Governor Spitzer. Also, she has her single on some website where it is selling for around .98 cents, where she receives 70 percent. So far it has been selling at an alarming rate and she's made well over $1 million dollars within 24 hours. If that is not fair, then what is. Again, my heart goes out to all the women out there on their honest grind trying to get a new record deal. Good luck.

New Opportunities

Now I know why I moved from Rochester; the horrible weather! I was there this weekend for a few reasons . (tangent...for some reason I seem to have a habit of writing on Mondays...??? not sure why...well...back to the subject) So the weather was horrible Friday night and all of Saturday. Now after I attended college I began working in Rochester, but it really wasn't for me. It wasn't what I really wanted to be involved in. When I returned to NYC I found the opportunity of a lifetime; AIDS Research! I'm a scientist at heart, and there's a lot of history as to why I wanted to get involved with HIV/AIDS Research. I can speak about that later, but where ever there are opportunities for me, no matter how far, and preferably in warm climate--now that I'm not a full-time student/slave to a university or institution. I'm doing great research that will help people with a virus that plagues the world for long. It's wonderful being apart of such outstanding research and scientific work.

I've also had the opportunity to coach a wrestling team. Even though I've been an assistant I felt more apart of that team than anything else. These young guys don't know what the future holds for them, and I'm glad I can help them see something better than what they think it will be. Shout out to one of my wrestlers, Andrew, who just this past weekend became the first wrestler from my high school Fordham Prep to win the NYSPHSAA Wrestling Tournament. We've had wrestlers place, but never win, so congrats to him on his victory.

This was a good weekend, but I know I will never rent a car again! I'm under 25 and they literally take you for everything that you have. Never again! Overall I did enjoy my weekend.

I'll have more intellectual dialogues coming soon. I've just been in an expressive mood lately.

First of many...

It's that time of the day, where all my work is done, and I had some time on my hand. I know a few people (actually a lot of people) that are frequent bloggers, and for some reason I was thinking about getting into blogging myself. Some say I'm not as expressive as I should be. This might help me in becoming better. I'll let you know how that goes. Also I love writing, so I asked myself "to blog or not to blog?" I choose to blog when I have the time. This is the first of many to come though. I don't have much to say today, except that I do enjoy where I'm working right now and not many can say that. The Big Apple isn't for everyone, but it was made for me and I can handle it for the time being. Life is good and I'm thankful everyday for all that has been given to me. - Amir F.
