in·fat·u·a·tion
   /ɪnˌfætʃuˈeɪʃən/ Show Spelled[in-fach-oo-ey-shuhn] Show IPA
–noun
1.
the state of being infatuated.
2.
the act of infatuating.
3.
foolish or all-absorbing passion or an instance of this: a mere infatuation that will not last.
4.
the object of a person's infatuation: When I was a kid, my infatuation was stamp collecting.


You said This and You said That. I believe this and I believe that.

Any dictionary will tell you that infatuation is an intense, but short-lived passion or admiration for someone or something. Quite true.

It is the initial strike of Cupid's flaming arrow that ignites the dried kindling of an empty heart, cracked & wooden from neglect and disuse.

The reckless *POP* of the champagne cork and the overflowing spill of ambrosial elixir that ejaculates from a pressure filled chamber out into the atmosphere and unto a potential lover's unsuspecting aspect.

The electrical charge of that first caress, the tension, the serendipitous submission.
The quick intake of breath of the first orgasmic shudder.

It is tantalizing, titillating, tempestuous.
A madness, an obsession beyond rhyme or reason.
It is a hit and run on an isolated open country road.
A terrible accident of fate or Providence.

It is Icarus with his wax wings so sublimely enchanted with his sudden ability to take flight and soar to the heavens that he dismisses the warnings of Daedalus, and his wings are melted by the searing sun, plunging him abysmally into the cold sea.

Like Icarus, many of us are caught up in the rapture of the newly discovered, torched by a desire to consume, to know, to have. NOW!

At the exclusion of all else and, frankly, it feels damn good.
Which is why we choose to indulge it , rather than extinguish it, immediately, despite our better judgment.

IS OVER PRIVILEGED IMMORTAL?

Definitions of privilege on the Web:• a special advantage or immunity or benefit not enjoyed by all • prerogative: a right reserved exclusively by a particular person or group (especially a hereditary or official right); "suffrage was the prerogative of white adult males" • bestow a privilege upon • (law) the right to refuse to divulge information obtained in a confidential relationship.

Definitions of immortal on the Web: Immortal \Im*mor"tal\, n. •One who will never cease to be; one exempt from death, decay, or annihilation. --
• a person (such as an author) of enduring fame; "Shakespeare is one of the immortals" • deity: any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force • not subject to death Bunyan. [1913 Webster]

Ok since that's said, Is being {Over privileged} an immortal situation? I was on the negative side when I was asked that question, then when I researched the definition for confirmation of the meanings to write this blog--I had a change of heart. The "Over Privileged" term, I can probably agree with most. We all should be treated equally, not because a person has a special talent or is associated with a certain group should one be glorified. People of the world seem to have a luxurious, stress free, perfect perception of celebrities or even someone they have high expectations for in life. So therefore that comes with being worshiped by another. That's when the "Over Privileged" and "Immortal" clashes, in my opinion. I once interpreted the word "Immortal" in a sense of a super hero, Spider Man, Wolverine,Super Man and characters of that nature-people that can't die. Some say Shakespeare, a person of enduring fame; is one of the "immortal", he'll live forever threw his writing. Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Michael Jordan, Harriet Tubman, Jay-z, Michael Jackson, Professor Cornel West,these people are immortal because there legacy will live on through generation to generation. Harriet Tubman, MLK, Malcolm X for example,who were born decades ago, still live on to this day because of their struggle and their achievements to bring peace and freedom for African Americans and held no sort of privilege from society. Then we have Michael Jackson, Jay-z and Michael Jordan, who stained the world with their outstanding talent and get not just privilege but {OVER PRIVILEGED} from certain groups and mainly society. Is it because of their desirable glamorous life style that some dream to have? Is it because society strongly projects these images in our heads so we can be distracted from the realm or is it the proper way of life? Its clear for me to see that its wrong for anyone to be {OVER PRIVILEGED}; respected YES but over privileged NO. Some might say "Well those people live in different time periods" well ok I'm going to leave you with no more room for questioning. 1960's Dr. King-James Brown/ 1990's Jay-z -Dr. Keith Black, Between these four names two are being {OVER PRIVILEGED}.Think about it!

CHERISH

I was at my friends mother's wake writing this on my blackberry.Her pasting made me think about every moment I had with everyone. From the good times to the bad times and having the understanding of life everyday. {We must cherish every moment} We never kNO one until we give one a chance. Forgive but don't forget because forgiving is to be complete with self, something I once told someone. Every day is not promised, so "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" a book I read, given by my fiance. So today while we're here tell your love ones that you love them by the second because we don't kNO when its our time. Through the occurrences and or attention,positive and negative in our everyday life, understand God is there. I LOVE U

IS THERE ACTUALLY FRIENDS?

Are there actually "friends" in the world? In my Opinion, No!!! The English language is foolish, it changes about every other 100 years, so to me it can't be relied on. I was once told "Take the R out of the word Friend and what do you get? (fiend)".
• Fiend-devil : demon : a person of great wickedness or maliciousness 2 : a person extremely devoted to a pursuit or study : fanatic 3 : addict 4 : wizard

Does that sound like someone you used to call a "Friend"? Always at your company because of their needs, drugs, money, your popularity, your time, your space. When an associate of mine fed me that information about the word "friend" along with my overstanding about the weakness in the American language, it stuck with me instantly and for years to come. Now think about it, separate the so-called "friends" from family and observe the actions and emotions from each. "Friends" always want something. They always seem to be at need, "Can you/would you" or "Can I" and never give in return just like a "Fiend" if you will.

Now, your whole life you were taught that family members are closely related individuals by blood. Such as parents, children, uncles, aunts, brother, sister, cousins. A person you can call a family member may say "Can you/would you" or "Can I"... help with nothing in return and there is still actual LOVE there. They do things unconditional, reguardless the situation nor conflicts.
Ever had a stranger that fell into the category of a family; like a wife, your husband, a loyal business partner, Doctor or Lawyer? In my opinion they're now family because they do and feel things that family should do to another family member. Don't get me wrong there are blood relatives that can be two-faced, Lie, steal and cheat just like a stranger. I'm basically giving you the vision of kNERO. I experienced blood relatives that did my brother, mother and father wrong, then had a stranger walk into our life and treat us totally different from those actions of family. So therefore that phrase "Blood is thicker then water" is irrelevant.

I THINK THAT BELONGS TO US

I was watching "The Fabulous Life of the of the Rich and Famous" and they showed people that so-call came from "royalty". As I watched I had some what of an epiphany. What ever happened to our values. We as Africans, come from the blood line of Kings and Queens. Where is our Gold, Palaces and land? Oh that's right, its was stolen from us with our rights of man kind. So that leaves us with nothing but the option of starting from ground zero to build in heritage for the new generation soon to come. Through the wicked skeems of the Europeans that left us with nothing in a land that was once strange to us we still strive to leave our kids anything that may be of value for the next generation and beyond. Some ancestors left for their generation wealth, land, political positions and etc. Now in the 20th century, people don't have much but still struggle to leave something for their children before they pass away. Some are fortunate to leave Life insurance, land and houses while most can't even leave a dime. We must leave our future something to keep the world a better place, especially the kNOWLEDGE of the past. There must be a reason why, so we must gain control of the results and conquer the reason.

I FOUND "REAL LOVE" THROUGH TRAGEDY

They say tragedy can bring Triumph. I can agree with that a 1OO%, being placed in a emotional state that left my family puzzled and overwhelm. My father at the age of 55 was having headache for sometimes but wasn't paying it no attention like he'll normally do. Over excited for booking his trip to India on the 3rd of January 2010, a day before that he was complaining about a headache that made my mother force him to go to the emergency room. Minutes and hours of cats caning test doctors found my father with a BRAIN TUMOR. This drastic news shock my family from America to West Africa, Liberia because my father has always been known for be healthy, first time ever laying on a hospital bed to have a 14 hour surgery with 15 doctors to remove a brain tumor. Prays from all over was answered. Through the process of this tragedy I discovery real love and the definition of "Thru sickness and thru health..till death do us part". My mother is the most beautiful women I kNO thus far. She walk with my father through this like the other half she is to him. It amaze me like no other. Sleeping by his bed side after the surgery catering to his every needs, the main treatment she gave him threw his recovery that exactly blow my mind is when she walk him to the bathroom so he can release his bowel movement and exactly clean him!!! I'll take my hat off for this amazing super women for showing me more of her strength as a mother and a wife. I'm grateful and bless to have a her in my life and my mother also my father. Without both I wouldn't be the man I'm am and becoming. I know there wouldn't be any women like my mother and not even trying to compare another to her, that will be the downfall to any of my relationships but I do have high expectation form my women. Now that I'm bringing in a female into the world I can also help her mother teach her how to treat and take care of her husband to be.

I'm Proud , Bless and Grateful

Amen
