FRIENDSHIP......

"What is a friend? A single soul, dwelling in two bodies" - Aristotle

True friendship is perhaps the only relation that survives the trials and tribulations of time and remains unconditional. A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship. Similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other are what friends share between each other. These are just the general traits of a friendship. To experience what is friendship, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasure.

Friendship is a feeling of comfort and emotional safety with a person. It is when you do not have to weigh your thoughts and measure words, before keeping it forth before your friend. It is when someone knows you better than yourself and assures to be your side in every emotional crisis. It is when you can sleep fighting and get another morning with a better understanding. Friendship is much beyond roaming together and sharing good moments, it is when someone comes to rescue you from the worst phase of life. Friendship is eternal.

Different people have different definitions of friendship. For some, it is the trust in an individual that he / she won't hurt you. For others, it is unconditional love. There are some who feel that friendship is companionship. People form definitions based on the kind of experiences they have had. This is one relation that has been nurtured since time immemorial. There are famous stories about friends in mythologies of different religions all over the world. They say a person who has found a faithful friend has found a priceless treasure.

•  FUNNY SHIT LOL: 23. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you... I want to marry you... I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.

• 22. If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget... he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you.

• 5 DEADLY TERMS USED BY A WOMAN. (1) FINE -this is the word women use to end an argument when they know they are RIGHT & YOU need to SHUT UP. (2) NOTHING -means SOMETHING & u need to be WORRIED (3) GO AHEAD -this is a dare not permission DO NOT DO IT. (4) WHATEVER -is a woman's way of saying F**K YOU. (5) THAT'S OK -she is thinking long & hard on HOW & WHEN you will pay for your mistake.

• The teacher asks Little Johnny "Which body part goes to heaven first?"Little Johnny replies "The feet miss" So the teacher says "Why the feet?" And Little Johnny says "Because when I go in my mummys bedroom at night she has her legs in the air shouting 'Oh my God I'm coming'"

• Little Johnny's father asked him, "Do you know about the birds and the bees?" "I don't want to know!" little Johnny said, bursting into tears. Confused, the father asked little Johnny what was wrong. "Oh dad," Little Johnny sobbed, "At age six I got the 'there's no Santa' speech. At age seven I got the 'there's no Easter bunny' speech. Then at age 8 you hit me with the 'there's no tooth fairy' speech! If you're going to tell me now that grown-ups don't really fuck, I've got nothing left to live for!"

• Little Johnny is taking a shower with his mother and says, "Mom, what are those things on your chest!?" Unsure of how to reply, she tells Johnny to ask his dad at breakfast tomorrow, quite certain the matter would be forgotten. Johnny didn't forget. The following morning he asked his father the same question. His father, always quick with the answers, says, "Why Johnny, those are balloons. When your mommy dies, we can blow them up and she'll float to heaven." Johnny thinks that's neat and asks no more questions. A few weeks later, Johnnys' dad comes home from work a few hours early. Johnny runs out of the house crying hysterically, "Daddy! Daddy! Mommy's dying!!" His father says, "Calm down son! Why do you think Mommy's dying?" "Uncle Harry is blowing up Mommys' balloons and she's screaming, "Oh God, I'm coming!"

• A few months after his parents were divorced, little Johnny passed by his mom's bedroom and saw her rubbing her body and moaning, "I need a man, I need a man!" Over the next couple of months, he saw her doing this several times. One day, he came home from school and heard her moaning. When he peeked into her bedroom, he saw a man on top of her. Little Johnny ran into his room, took off his clothes, threw himself on his bed, started stroking himself, and moaning, "Ohh, I need a bike! I need a bike!"

• Little Johnny sees his mother walk out of the shower and sees her vagina. He asks her what it is and she embarassed replies, "Oh, that's mommy's black sponge." A few days later, Johnny spills a glass of milk on the floor and says, "Mommy, I need your black sponge to mop up the milk!" She replies, "I lost it, honey." A couple of days later, he comes running up to her and says, "Mommy, I found your black sponge!" Mystified, she says, "Where, honey?" Little Johnny says, "It's over at Mrs. Johnson's house, and Daddy's washing his face in it!"

Now it's the Jamaican man's turn .... He proceeded to open a bottle of water, and poured it in the sea! His words to the Devil, "Yeah man, find that bloodclaat nuh!!! Yuh tink seh jamaicans a idiot?"

• An elderly couple went into a doctor. They told the doctor "We’re having some trouble with our sex life. Could you watch and offer some suggestions?"The doctor replied, "I’m not a sex therapist. You should find someone else." The couple said, "No, No, we trust you." After watching them make love, the doctor said, "You don’t seem to be having any troubles. I wish my sex life was as good. I can’t give you any suggestions." This was repeated the next week and also the third week. After they had finished on the third week, the doctor said, "You aren’t having any trouble. Is this your idea of kinky sex?" The man replied, "No, actually the problem is if we have sex at my house, my wife will catch us. If we have sex at her house, her husband will catch us. The motel charges us $75, and we can’t afford that. You only charge $50, and Medicare pays half of that."

• Little April was not the best student in Sunday school. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, April, who created the universe?" When April didn't stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said, "Very good" and April fell back asleep. A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Saviour," But, April didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. 'JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said, "very good," and April fell back to sleep. Then the teacher asked April a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F*****G THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR ASS!"

A young Jamaican yute, Errol, asks his step-dad for some help. He says, '

Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?'

His step-father looks up thoughtfully, and says, 'Mek mi show yuh. Go ask your mother if she
would sleep with Beres Hammond for one million dollars.
Next, ask your sister if she would sleep with Beres Hammond for one million dollars. Then go ask your brother
if him would sleep with Beres Hammond for one million dollars. Then come back and tell me what you find out.'
The yute is puzzled, but he decides to see if he can figure out what his stepfather means.
He asks his mother, 'Mammy if someone gave you a million dollars would you sleep with Beres Hammond?'
His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile on her face says, 'Don't tell yuh poopah, but yes, I would.'
Then he goes to his sisters room and asks her,'Sis, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with
Beres Hammond?' His sister looks up and says, 'Cho! Him kinda old still but with the amount a clothes I could buy
definitely I would give him a grine!'
Then he goes to his brother's room and asks him, 'Eh yow, if someone gave you a million dollars,
would you sleep with Beres Hammond?' His brother thinks about it for a minute and says,
'Fyah bun fi dem ting deh but fi a million bucks, I suppose I would. Just one time though'.
Errol goes back to his stepfather and says, 'Popah I believe that I figure it out.
Potentially, we are sitting on three million dollars, but in reality, we are living with two skettels and one battyman.'



DIVORCE VS MURDER

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said,"I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked,"Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband.
That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail!
All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

WHAT IS LOVE REALLY..........

LOVE.......... easy to say and spell but almost impossible to define but according to my Oxford dictionary it can be described as 1) A very strong feeling of affection.  2) A strong feeling of affection linked with sexual attraction. 3) A great interest and pleasure in something. 4) In tennis, football etc. its a score of zero... In my opinion most of us will say that its defined best withe the first three definitions, well  it does but in reality  its the fourth definition that most of us associates it with. My reasons for saying so is because of the way many of us treat the ones who genuinely loves us, pushing them away and ill-treating them.........Now lets see what the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE) has to say about love, The true meaning of love, as defined in the Bible, has been corrupted in the common usage of our English language and society. Most often, love is confused with infatuation - that elated, "high" feeling we get when we "fall in love." This kind of "love" is something that lasts typically less than a year, and unless replaced by true love, results in broken relationships.
The Bible indicates that love is from God. In fact, the Bible says "God is love." Love is one of the primary characteristics of God. Likewise, God has endowed us with the capacity for love. This capacity for love is one of the ways in which we are "created in the image of God."
"AGAPE." This love is represented by God's love for us. It is a non-partial, sacrificial love probably best exemplified by God's provision for our rebellion:
In contrast, our love is usually conditional and based upon how other people behave toward us. This kind of love is based upon familiarity and direct interaction. The Greek word "PHILEO" defines this kind of love, often translated "brotherly love." Phileo is a soulish (connected through our emotions) kind of love - something that can be experienced by both believers and non-believers. This is in contrast to agape, which is love extended through the spirit. Agape love requires a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, since the non-regenerated soul is unable to love unconditionally. Agape love gives and sacrifices expecting nothing back in return.

The most famous biblical chapter on love is from 1 Corinthians:
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
This is a description of agape love. It is described as being patient, kind, truthful, unselfish, trusting, believing, hopeful, and enduring. It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, rude, selfish, or angry. True love never fails. The description perfectly fits God's love toward us, and should be the way we love each other and God. However, I have never met any person who perfectly fulfills this biblical definition of love. The Bible says that this unconditional love is more important than everything else (a partial list includes oratory ability, prophecy, knowledge, faith, philanthropy and hope). All of these things, which are "good" things, will pass away. Only love is eternal, since love will be the basis of eternal life. In fact, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He said, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." (Matthew 22:37)10 He then added that the second most important law was "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Jesus said that the entire law was dependent upon these two commandments.


                                                       THANK YOU
Sometimes people make sacrifices just to help a friend or a relative when they are in need, this is done out of the love & kindness that God wants us to practice... Now one may not know what sacrifices were made to help them so they accept the help and say thanks but that thanks is without appreciation, just a mere word which goes with the wind and instantly forgotten along with the kind gesture that caused them to utter the word. "Thank you" is as easy to say as is blinking your eyes not many persons know the meaning of such phrase so they just say it because it can be said.. and the funny part is we wont know who understands this concept until we help them and one day needs help from them, it is then that you will realize that the sacrifices you would make to help relatives and friends are sacrifices that most of them would never make for you. LIVE, LEARN AND APPLY THE LESSONS LEARNED....

FOCUS POSITIVELY......

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. I've learned that at times we go searching the world for things that's right under our noses, is it because the eyes cant see there or because we don't always trust our instincts or follow our hearts ? Our hearts can see what the eyes cant, its capable of feeling what the fingers are incapable to feel, it speaks deeply but we don't always listen to it and its piloted by God himself. the decisions we make today determines  our tomorrow and at times affect loved ones. what happens to us ten years from now is not just destiny as many may call it but instead its the results of our thoughts, actions and decisions. destiny my friends is simply a preordained place in time that has been formulated by our doings today.

Surrounding our lives today with positivity is the quintessence of what our future will reflect, declaring your place in life today will push the universe to take you there call it luck or destiny it really is merely a reflection of the energy you create and bask in today. Stop worrying about the negative things that ended your happiness in the past and focus your energy positively on the the present and future because they are the true important aspects of our lives. the past helped to mold us in the persons we now are so be grateful for the lessons learned from it and let it go but never forget it. happiness may not be achieved if one continues to hold on to the pains of the past. focus on whats under your noses or you will lose a diamond while searching for bronze...............

OUR MALES TODAY

       ALL AROUND THE WORLD SOCIETY HAS FORCED THE AVERAGE MAN TO BE TOUGH, RESULTING IN THE LACK OF BASIC CHARACTERISTICS WHICH SHOULD BE DISPLAYED TOWARDS OUR KIDS AND FEMALES ALL AROUND US. A FEW OF THOSE CHARACTERISTICS ARE THE SHOWING OF EMOTIONS, BEING FAITHFUL, KINDNESS AND BEING CAPABLE OF COMFORTING HIS WOMAN WHEN SHE ONLY NEEDS A FRIEND BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS CHIVALRY, YES CHIVALRY. MY QUESTION IS HAS THIS IMPORTANT MALE QUALITY DIED WHEN MANY OF OUR EGOS DEVELOPED????? SOCIETY TODAY SEES A MAN THAT STILL DISPLAY THESE QUALITIES AS BEING SOFT SISSIES SO BEING A TRUE GENTLEMAN IS SEEN AS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS. HE IS LAUGHED AT AND AT TIMES RIDICULED BY THE SO CALLED "ALPHA MALES"  OR MODERN DAY BULLIES. WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE BEING BAD IS SEEN AS GOOD SO WHEN ONE DOES GOOD THEY ARE CLASSED AS PUNKS BY MANY IN SOCIETY. A TRUE MAN HAS NO RIGHT HITTING A FEMALE BUT IF SUCH FEMALE SHOULD HIT A MAN AND HE HITS HER BACK THEN HES THE "MAN" THE "DADS" BUT IF HE REFUSES TO HIT HER BACK AND WALKS AWAY HE WILL BE CLASSED AS A WORTHLESS BOY OR A PUNK BY OTHER MALES AND MANY TIMES BY THE SAME FEMALE HE REFUSED FROM HITTING, NOW AIN'T THAT SOME SHIT. NOT MANY MEN IN SOCIETY TODAY ARE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR ANGER AFTER BEING HIT SO HITTING BACK WOULD BE A NATURAL REACTION.............. HMMM STILL NOT COOL. MOST OF MALE ENTERTAINERS TODAY THAT ARE SEEN AS ROLE MODELS TO MANY OF THE YOUNG MEN IN SOCIETY ARE ALL ABUSERS OF FEMALES AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA OF WHAT CHIVALRY IS AND HAVE NO REAL MESSAGE TO CONVEY TO OUR YOUTHS, SO THEY GROW UP AND ABUSE WOMEN IN BED THEN CLASS IT AS GOOD SEX THIS ANIMAL LIKE MENTALITY IS ALSO EMBRACED BY SOME WOMEN, WHICH ALSO FUELS IT IN SOCIETY. WOMEN NEED TO STOP THINKING THAT IF A MAN DOESN'T HIT THEM THEN HE DOESN'T LOVE THEM AND AMAZING SEX ISN'T CAUSING A WOMAN EXCESSIVE PAIN THAT SHE CANT WALK WHEN IT'S DONE..........ITS IN MAKING HER FEEL RELAXED THAT SHE CAN SAY "MI WANT MORE" AND U OBLIGE WITH A SMILE.

FOR FAR TOO LONG  THE MALES OF OUR SOCIETY ARE BEING GROOMED AND LEAD BY INCOMPETENT MIKE HOLDERS IMPERSONATING ROLE MODELS, THIS HAS CAUSED THE FADING OUT OF CHIVALRY. I CANT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW A MALE OPENED A DOOR FOR A LADY, IS IT THAT ITS NOT BEING APPRECIATED BY THE LADIES OR WHAT. HARDLY A MAN WILL TELL HIS WOMAN "I LOVE YOU" WHEN SHE LEAST EXPECT HIM TO OR ALLOW HER TO PLACE HER ORDER FIRST WHEN THEY DINE OUT. WE NEED TO BRING BACK THIS IMPORTANT MALE QUALITY BUT HOW DOES ONE DO THAT WHEN IMPRESSING A GIRL THESE DAYS DEPENDS ON THE CAR U DRIVE AND HOW FULL YOUR POCKETS ARE. THAT'S THE THING TOO MUCH GIRLS IN SOCIETY THESE DAYS AND NOT ENOUGH LADIES. YOUNG MEN TODAY NEED TO RISE UP AND BE GREAT ROLE MODELS FOR THEIR KIDS BECAUSE SOCIETY DNT MAKE ROLE MODELS LIKE IT USED TO, WE ARE THE BEST ROLE MODELS FOR OUR KIDS SO STEP UP. IN REGARDS TO  HOW YOU TREAT YOUR LADIES, LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU'RE THEIR FOR THEM AS A FRIEND LOVER AND SUPPORT. SHOW THEM HOW GOOD YOU CAN BE AND STAY THAT WAY IN ORDER TO DISMISS THE POPULAR FEMALE CLAIM THAT "THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY REAL MEN AROUND.."................................PEACE TO MA BROS AND LOVE TO MA LADIES
