Culver City Stairs DRAMA

So... the drama...

I took my Cousin, My Mom, My Aunt and my God-son to the CCstairs. I'm PUMPED... I'm ready.

Climbing up, I feel great...

Just a minute or so from the top, I begin to feel unusually weak and tired. Mind you I climb this like three times in the sun...hot as heck. 

Not this time, I stop at the resting place and I couldn't catch my breath. I was drinking my water, trying to take deep breaths, NOPE. I was breathing so heavy, I decided to lay down but still couldn't catch my breath. I started getting light headed... I told my cousin Porscha who was casually admiring the view "Dude some thing's wrong" I said. "Here drink some of your water"
which I did and suddenly my vision changed, I felt like I wanted to throw up, I started to see people as if they were picture negatives but in color....CRAZY!!

I called out to Porscha again and said "Something is very very wrong" so she says "give me your phone, what's your password?" Mind you we left my Mom down one level lower because she was too hot. Porscha calls her but she doesn't have her phone so she calls my aunt who is walking the trail with the little man just so she's aware.


I started seeing black spots so I laid down and Unfortunately I PASSED OUT FOR LIKE some seconds. This is after climbing ONLY my first round. I was very upset about that, I was really looking forward to this work out.

I wake up to several people pouring water on me, in my hair on the back of my neck. Porscha was checking my pulse. A little boy named Andy was fanning me with his hat and Rosarita and Allison used their water to cool me down. My mom finally made it up to where we were.

Allison prayed for me and gave me her egg and bacon sandwich on toasted bread. These strangers were a God send to assist my family in helping me...definitely Angels.

Even a young lady named Julie even stopped and offered her water because she had extras.

Rosarita said I saw you and your skin color was turning palish green ...weird, right!

They stuck around until I felt better enough to walk down. I was still shaking, I couldn't stop.

They said it is definitely heat exhaustion.

I ate breakfast
I only drink water every second

I can't explain it.

Thank you Porscha, Mom, Allison, Rosarita and Andy oh and Julie and for everyone who stopped to make sure I was ok! My Angels, it could have been a lot worse.

The heat and I love the heat, the sun, summer...etc.  

I told Porscha, she should at least go to the top and she did.

This is some real stuff, I think I'm the most hydrated person I know.

The humidity was up, heat rises, the elevation didn't help. Be careful out there and drink lots of water and it's okay to take a break or...

work out really early or later in the evening where the sun isn't giving off as much heat.

Thank you Lord God that I'm good.

Black Brotha...I love ya - Week! Post 5 - WE NEED YOU

Gentlemen

We don’t need you

Well, we don’t want to need you

But we do

See, you are an important, essential, requirement That is desired and needed for our lives

If it weren’t for you

We’d never be mothers

And we’d never be wives

When we birth men into this earth

Love, spirituality, morality, survival things

We can teach

But from a father to a son

There’s a place in the crevices of his mind

That’s connected to his heart

That only you can reach

A man I’ll never be

So how can I demonstrate what a real man is?

When a woman is all he’ll ever see

Our Girls need you to tell them that they’re beautiful

YOU take her out to eat

YOU buy her flowers

YOU tell her I love you

YOU give to her

YOU make it so that these things are not foreign to her

That way, some fool can’t come along

And try to use it to his benefit

But having a relationship with God

Showcasing good characters, morals and manners

Like Daddy

Will be the prerequisite

Our Girls need to see that

Our boys need to be that

We need you

Also, I know chivalry didn’t die

It was just ambushed by ego and pride and buried alive

This makes it still alive

So please

Don’t stop giving up your seat

Opening doors and pulling out chairs

Smiling at us

And speaking highly of us and

Showing us gentlemanship with care

Because I know you care

I also know that your compassion

Isn’t dead

Just ran off the road by indifference at times

Leaving selfish and greed

To take over instead

But when the world deconstructively depicted you

We picked on you

But we want you back and

To show I have your back I pray for you

Dear Father God,

Let the respect and admiration for women

Dedicated father love

Desire to aim high

Eagerness to be the best

Inability to influence by negativity

Healthy food eating

Kind word speaking

Bible living, reading, sharing and understanding

Non pants sagging

Resolution finding

Anti-anger developing

Education driven

Selflessness displaying

Sober and drug free living

Wisdom and intellectual instilment

Be produced without hesitation in the air

And let it spread extensively thru out all men

Like a contagious air-borne virus

Equally caught everywhere

We need you

First I want to say

I appreciate when you pick me up

For dinner and a movie

Converse with me

And not curse at me

Compliment me Return me home, walk me to my door

And kiss me on my cheek so gently

Without the intentions of coming inside

See, I’m trying to step away from being a

Feminist Nazi

And go back to the days when

Uplifting you and loving you unconditionally

Was a natural as the breath that flows inside of me

I want to step away from lying to myself that

Changing my own tire and taking out the trash

Is something I’m so proud to do all by myself because I don’t need a man

When really it’s becoming a pain in the Ask,

yourselves ladies

Do we want to go the rest of our lives without them?

Still Gentlemen we need you to love us for our minds, if you don’t mind

Focus more on the condition of our hearts

And less on the position of our panty lines

Although I know now-a-days

Sex technically grows on trees

But I’d like to be the only tree planted in your garden,

That produces sweet nourishment and healing

Unlike the forbidden ones

Who are too eager and too willing to

Let you pluck all of her apples and oranges

Sometimes well before they’ve even ripened

But I want to give you that well developed

Seed bearing fruit

But I need you to commit to watering me thoroughly

And the healthiness of my root and my branches

Will be apparent based on the way you’ve taken care of me

Besides, another woman just doesn’t cut it for me

As feminine and girly as I am I need true masculinity

Broad shoulders Strong manly arms

That can just take me and wrap me up in his space

His cheek to my cheek

That prickly five O’clock shadow

Rubbing all on my face

His hands like scotch bright

His voice like tenor

A sight of all natural God made Goodness making my heart tremor

We need you

For our men who love men

I will never look down on you

So many I’ve come to be friend

You’re still protected, blessed and loved

By God

Even if you’re just confused

Sometimes this comes from having been abused

 Leaving you bruised

Your manhood misused

It pains me to see you wallow in a deceit

That has you so amused and convinced that

Even if you were born this way

That this is a battle can’t be beat

But I pray and claim this explosiveness defused

There is a homosexual epidemic

That is so often excepted and excused

But tell me

What are we going to do?

When our ladies want to be mothers and wives

But we have nobody left to introduce them to.

Gentlemen, it was easy to write all the ways I feel like you have failed us

The difficulty was writing a few of the ways we have failed you,

Want you, think of you, desire you, pray for you, hope for you, believe in you

Need you?

One of the hardest things to say

But I’m willing and poetry is my way

I had to ambush my ego and pride

And bury them alive

But, we can’t do alone

We need you to help us replenish our faith in men

Remember when you asked God to send you someone like me

We need to go back to being how we used to be again.

And make a pact that no matter how

Crazy the world evolves or

How many wars are raging between the sexes

That between you and I we will always be protected

No matter how much we’re faced with opposition, disappointments and fear

That between you and me

We will never feel neglected We think we don’t need you

Sometimes we don’t need you

But in all actuality

We do.
