das just my baby daddy(mama)...

Hello all wanted to rap with yall for a sec. If yall dont know me (at least a little) then imma let u in my world for a min. I am a baby daddy and as much as that pains me to say it is what it is i cant help that. Sure i wish things were different but i realize everything happens for a reason whether u want it to or not. After a 3 yr relationship i am single again:( but i accept it now. Anyway dating has neva really been my thing i am somewhat of a novice when it comes to women(long story). Shyt i am just now understanding how yall work lol. So i have been on a couple of dates nuthing special some have kids though. I use to shun away from females with kids cuz of drama,attachment etc. I dont condone having children out of wedlock but it happens for whatever reason. I have a different opinion of it now cuz yeah i have a wonderful lil gurl and having me is a package deal no CODs lol. It is different for guys and gals with seeds(i.e. children i call them seeds cuz u cultivate them and they grow). Women with children usually have them in the household and that can be somewhat difficult when ur tryin to court a female. The woman has a lot on their plate cooking cleaning etc not to mention if the daddy wants to return. For the male the child(ren) arent usually in the household; its a part-time thing with full-time responsibilities. I know of a few whose children stay with them so it can occur. I am sure a lot of women want to be with a man without kids so they can possibly have some in the future. Yeah itz unfortunate many of the bruthas and sistahs out there have to deal with the stigma of having kids without being married. It is hard though but i now see the light. I dont like to judge ppl and if a woman has a kid then itz cool with me...as long as itz sensible. I am weary of dating a female with 5 kids from 5 different men das sayin somethin!!!!!!

Having children out of wedlock aint just for blacks either white ppl do it too itz just less ridiculed. To augment the situations many times bruthas are not taking care of the child(ren). It is sad but true. I only have one and i dont plan on having another until i am married. Regardless of my circumstance i am a good father learning to get better so before u judge and disregard a man or a woman with kid(s) consider the source and dont be myopic. Peace be unto u all...

Aid for AIDS

Yesterday was World AIDS Day. For those in the dark(turn the lights on) AIDS and HIV are two separate but compatible issues. HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system. There is currently no cure for HIV but there are cocktails of treatments that can subside symptoms. AIDS is when the body can no longer fight off infections that in a normal setting it would. HIV/AIDS have been prevalent for decades now. I remember first hearing about it during the early 80s. There are conspiracy theorist saying it is man-made(no I aint one of those conveying that). Regardless of origin it is a devastating disease that is relentless. I wont go into facts and stats about the disease u can read it on the CDC website(www.cdc.gov) but i do wanna get personal with u on the subject. First no i dont have HIV/AIDS(or any STDs for that matter) but i have witnessed ppl with the disease. At a previous job i had the delicate task of drawing blood from patients with HIV; scary to say the least cuz a mishap on my part could have led to infection. My real concern is for everyone who has the disease but specifically those in Afrika.

Afrika is the hotbed for many dangerous diseases from Ebola to HIV. HIV however is THE most debilitating disease on the continent. In South Afrika there are approximately 5.2 million(omg) ppl are infected with the disease and there are 1.4 million orphans due to HIV. The numbers are staggering. In a country already somewhat behind as far as technology, education, etc. it is crazy to see these statistics.

I have a dream not like King to see the "motherland" prosper as it should it is the birthplace of civilization!!! It is my duty to assist in the eradication of HIV/AIDS in Afrika esp. South Afrika. That is part of the reason why I am joining the Peace Corp. I dont know if I will actually go though but I will keep u posted. If I do go..watch for me! I wanna do great things here and abroad i have the "save the world" complex goin on and itz fine time for me to move my inertia(as my physics teacher used to say lol).

My challlenge to u is to become more aware and use the adage: "Each one teach one". Everyone doesnt get the opportunity to travel abroad yet there are numerous ways to help. There are still a lot of uneducated ppl here transferring the disease. If u are currently one who has HIV i will tell u I am here for u i support u in ur growth u can still have a life dont fret it ALLAH loves u none the less.
