What You Won't Do For Love

Everyone I  know either is looking for, seeking, falling in, falling out  or is in love.  Love is a helluva drug.  It can make you act and do some crazy things....Maybe you can relate  to 

What You Won't Do For Love....

My friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love

But they may never find what they dream of

What you won't do, do for love

You've tried everything but you don't give up

In my world only you makes me do

For love what I would not do

- What You Won't Do For Love (sung by Bobby Caldwell)

1. Do you have someone who makes you do for love what you should not do? 

2. When will people stop blaming the other person and realize they are the common denominator in all their relationships? 

3. How in the world are you are going to ruin someone's life by lying about being kidnapped and raped? 

4. When will people realize that Facebook is not an outlet to exploit your relationship woes?

5.  Do people realize that even though you think your boo is talented the rest of us are giving both of you a blank stare?

6.  Have you ever fell asleep on the phone with your sweetie love? 

7. Has love ever took you through Changes? 

8. Am I alone but do you love watching a man doing manual labor cause you think it's super sexy?

In my head a man doing manual labor starts looking like him.

9.  If you told your friends the True Hollywood Story and The Behind the Music of your relationship would they lose all respect for you?  

10.  Aren't love notes the best? 

11.  Does J-Lo realize she's taking the phrase "stand by your man"  too far?

12.  Does true love really hurt?

13. Speaking of which, am I the only one that didn't know Terrence Howard believes that it does?

14.  Have you ever heard someone bragging so hard about how the opposite sex is so attracted to them that you want to start praying on their behalf to keep their soul from going to hell? 

15.  Have you ever loved somebody the way that Jesus loves you?

16. Have you ever been in crazy, stupid love?

17.  Is this even true any more?

18.  Why didn't I listen when Prince told me that the Beautiful Ones will hurt you every time? 

19.  Are a big butt and a smile really Poison? 

20.  Since I'm on a BBD kick,  sunny days everyone loves them, but really Can You Stand the Rain? 

21.  When will people realize that another person's heartbreak is not going to be your true love?

22.  I know they "like it when we call them Big Poppa" but why do men think we want to bring thoughts of our father into our "situation"? 

LYLAS,

Have You Seen My Childhood?

Old School versus New School is always a debate...As a child born in the late 70s I'm so in love with all things 80s and 90s.  Things were just better when we were younger.  I mean life was totally cool and everyone knew that they were 2 Legit 2 quit.  You listened to your favorite jams on the radio, actually watched TV and read books and newspapers to get the 411.  For real, life was straight chillax. You hung out with your homies or your posse in order to scope the scene for hotties or honeys.  So in remembrance of the days when life was easy breezy I'm asking you to chill out check out this week's 20two questions because they are DA BOMB!!!

7. Can anyone else watch Love Jones daily?

He Without Sin...Cast the First Stone

With Obama's stance on gay marriage and people's reactions to it this week I find myself kind of fired up up about the hypocrisy of some Christians.  I mean people if you are SO HOLY and can afford to throw rocks at folks because of their lifestyle choices then pick up your rocks then...but every time I get ready to throw one...I have to drop mine real fast because when I turn around I see stones getting ready to be thrown at me...*Dropping stones and writing out my 20twoquestions*

1. Why do people ignore the fact that homosexuality is listed among a HOST of other sins? (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

2.  Why are straight people so protective of marriage when they don't even respect it themselves?

3.  What happened to turn the other cheek?  

4.  Why aren't people speaking out on issues of child pornography, sex trafficking, or bestiality?

5.  When will people realize that other people do not think your pet is as cute, adorable, and fun as you do?

6.  Do people realize that their pets are not their CHILDREN and should not be treated as such? 

7.  Why does country living require that meat must be in/on EVERYTHING?

8. How country is my mother for not eating fish bites from Checkers unless she had some bread? *blank stare*

9.  Why don't we get a genie, fairy godmother, or a wizard at our disposal in times of distress? 

10.  How is my life going to be different now that I am an only child?

11.  Have you ever passed a church and wondered who came up with the name for it?

 

12.  How come there is always one person at a workshop that thinks they know more than the presenter?

If you knew so much you would be the presenter!

13.  Are there any words to describe how oversexed you must be to do this? (Man watches porn in McDonald's dining area)

14.  Can we have government committee that works in conjunction with the Department of Health, the U.S. Census, and Bob Barker to  screen people before they can have children? 

Pets aren't the only ones that need to be spayed or neutered.

15. Who told people that bad things don't happen to good people?

16.  Why do we expect people to "love thou neighbor as thyself" when people don't really even like who they are?

17.  Do people not realize your political views and your personal views are not always the same? 

18.  Does anyone else think this is a bad idea for Amber Riley to leave Glee?  

19.  How can you be in love with someone who does not try to match the love God commands us to have for each other?  

20.  Do you think Mase is trying two serve to masters? 

21. Am I the only one who loves the Realness of Mary Mary's new reality show?

22. Do you realize what a blessing it is just to wake up to see another day? 

Until next week,
