never forget the ones who love you the most. the ones who care when the rest dont. the ones who have your back even when theirs is bare. never forget the ones who love you just because you're you. the ones who could love all the others or any other but carefully chose you to love. not because you are that dope. or cuz you think you're that dope. or cuz you think you're their best option. but because loving you compliments them loving themselves. never forget the ones who shared their last with you. gave you the best of them. and only wanted the best for you.
because if they so happen to disappoint you one day, hurt your feelings, say something they didn't mean or make you mad. hopefully you wont have a bad memory.
to all the men who forget those who love them the most. whether it is their mother, a close friend. or the girl who gave you her heart.

Quotes To Live By
"One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done."
- Marie Curie
2cents:
Maybe you can relate. I never really give myself credit for what tasks I've tackled, what obstacles I've conquered or what ground I have covered. I always try to figure out what else needs to be done. A good thing or bad?? I'm still trying to decide...
Latest idea on this: in a relationship, when your hunny is making changes for the betterment of the relationship, you may not notice because of blunt concentration on what's yet to be fixed...

For Your Special Birthday
A day at ChurchI don’t have the riches or fortunes and I couldn’t care less for materialist things, but I do have what means most to me - a heart. With that, I wonder to myself, how can you make someone feel special on their birthday? And it's simple... just by letting them know how special and important they are to your world.
So here are a few words from my heart….
There is a very special person in my life and everyday I try to make a point of telling this person how much I care, love and how grateful I am to have him in my life.
As a parent, I don’t have an easy job and being a single parent makes it much harder. It may seem and or look easy with all the laughs and smiles but it really hurts sometimes; especially being a mom raising a little boy in this crazy world. There are thoughts on how I can teach him what’s right or wrong and most importantly, how to be a humbled God-fearing man. But I can attest that when you have faith and believe in God, He’ll answer prayers.
Soooo, when you entered my life and things didn’t go as I wanted them to I was tempted to give up on us. But I didn’t because I knew God had something much better in store for me, or better yet, for my son… something I longed for…. For him to have this father like, big brother like, mentor figure that he could look up too! To have someone who loves him unconditionally without the love depending on anything involving me. It was simply because that’s what was placed in your heart.
And down the line I found out that you guys were really the ones meant to be together. Since you’ve been here you’ve helped me in ways that I couldn’t or wouldn’t even be able to explain or possibly try to put into words. And the thoughts that once went though my mind have faded into the background. You’ve given me peace of mind and all of the worrying is gone because I know why you are here!!
Even though you weren’t here when the first tooth fell out you were here when the eighth tooth fell out. LOL (insider)!!! You’ve introduced my son to some cool people, some pretty women lol, you’ve spent countless days and nights with him and most importantly you’ve instilled going to church in him… something he loves more then anything .. I can really go on, and on …
But, I’ve said all this to say Ladun, you have a great heart, and I wanted to let you know that I value and appreciate our friendship much more than anything! And thank you tremendously for the loving relationship you have developed with Samajay!
SOOOOOO on this day I just want to tell you have a blessed HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
I LOVE YOU!
Just ask “J” shelistens… EYEListen. =)
Thanks “J” and I love you too booo!! Muahhhhhhhhhh
Cheers to you Ladun !!--

Sincerely, EX-Side Chick Employer
I will be closing...
As one of the largest side chick employers in essex county I must announce today that I will be closing my doors for good. Its not a sad day for me or the industry. Just like other businesses the recession has caused some cutbacks but overall business has thrived and I'm sure will continue in my absence. To my colleagues, I extend my best wishes. I trust you will continue to produce the best side chicks in the world. I know you will continue to enforce the rules and help your temporary employees grow and advance into other fields. I also hope we can meet again in my new field and still flourish as we did in this one. To my employees..sigh...I knew this day would come..maybe some of you didn't think so..but I just hope I have prepared you all for it. I hope that thru our dealings that you have all grown to hate being a temp. That your time under my contract has helped you realize what you want..and what you need to become a permanent full time wife. I truly wish you the best. Let it be known that you also helped me grow and realize that even though I was excellent at managing a number of contracts, there was also a glass ceiling in my position as a side chick employer. You helped me see that even with many of you that I always needed more. That as best as I could be was a bottom fortune 500 Temp agency who trained workers for other top fortune 500 companies. With that said me closing the book on this venture is not a sad day but just a sign of my growth. Last but not least to my new business partner..thank you for the opportunity to build something amazing with you. Thanks for seeing the potential in me and giving me a chance even though I have little experience in this field. I won't let you down.
Sincerely,
Professor aka the Ex side chick employer

To fully understand the extremity of this business closing, read Professor's last post, The Side Chick Contract.
Professor's blunt humor and candid point of view never ceases to amaze me. He has found love, so he has retired from his previous position to take on this promotion. Good luck cuz and congrats on the Jr to come =)

Quotes To Live By
"You may not be her first, her last or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together. But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and dont expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there."
- Bob Marley

No More Pouty Men at the Mall
Asking your boo to accompany you to the mall is like your mom asking you as a child to make your own dentist appointment, pay for the copay, and follow up with all the future visits. Forget about it!! As soon as you saw the postcard with the devilishly smiling toothbrushes, you were ripping up the evidence and flushing it down the toilet. But hopeless boyfriends and husbands of the world aren't lucky enough to get postcard sized reminders of the big day when his woman wants to spend the whole damn day at the mall. READ MORE

I Just Wanna Know, Is She Cute?
What’s the first thing a girl does when:
A) her guy cheats
B) her ex moves on to the next
C) her new guy reveals who his ex is…
...she checks to see if she’s cute or not!! And nothing makes a girl feel more confident, cuter or superior to the rest, than to see that the “other” chic doesn’t measure up to her idea of beauty. READ MORE

Year of the Underdog
So what your team didn’t make it to play in the Super Bowl yesterday =( You’ve got to admit, that was a great game! Great because two awesome quarterbacks (and a sexy Reggie Bush) went head to head, it was a damn good fight to the finish, and most importantly the underdogs prevailed. This is the year of the underdog!! This year all underdogs will be the cause of an upset. Like who, you ask? READ MORE

Do Ugly People Dump?
Whoooooaaaaa, where do I come off even using that word when I was raised by the Stick and Stones Manual!! I could have used unattractive, less beautiful, “nice personality”, but none of them have quite the same emphasis as UGLY. So with hopes of offending no one, I pose my question again, do ugly people dump?? READ MORE

Baby Mama's Checklist
Firstly, I would like to point out that I have no kids! And not by accident, I intentionally have NO kids. And after doing a forecast of my near future, I see sunshine, a few clouds and still NO kids. And the sole reason I see NO kids is because I checked that finger in between my middle and my pinky fingers and noticed no bling bling, no sparkle, not even a twinkle. As corny as it may seem to you, I will not have kids until I am married and when you see me on The Tyra Show having triplets at 42, you can say, damn I knew that girl… READ MORE

Power of a Label
Right off the top, these quotes popped in my mind. The POWER of a label. Ahhhhhhhh... Ya know, labels define, right? They describe, inform and stamp an impression in your mind of what's to be expected. You can either control your own destiny by determining who you are, hence creating your own label... or you can have your image altered by what you let other people label you. READ MORE

Happy 1yr Anni WillEYEListen!!
HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WILLEYELISTEN
BIG THANKS to all the supporters, commenters, guest bloggers, one time readers, avid readers and all in between!! I do this selfishly for myself, to let off steam but I'm glad you all took interest in my thoughts and shared some of yours. I don't write for popularity or hits on my site... this is strictly a journal for a day in the life (or the head) of Just "J"... Im so happy about what I've shared, both very personal and sometimes to get a few laughs. I have a lot more to share and I hope you all continue on this journey with me... who knows I may be rich and famous one day and you already have a truckload of dirt to leak to the tabloids =)
I'm late for class right now because I wanted to give WillEYEListen a quick facelift... but later today I will do a post to recap all my favorite posts over the last 12 months. Peek back in tonite...
Thanks again!! (right about now someone is suppose to hand me an award or something considering I just gave the acceptance speech for it lol) EYEListen.
