Age Is Merely A NumberThe last time I decided to celebrate my birthday I was turning that milestone 40 year old point that most men dreads. It came it went, and I got over it.
This is the year I turned 44 and is the half way point to my next milestone birthday which is 50 years young. Another year to dread should I be blessed enough to reach it. I say young because you are only as old as you feel. Plus I am into younger guys, and the youthful disposition and attitude which once was I. Being I am no longer as young as I use to be I live through the eyes of the younger. Please don’t get me wrong I am no cradle bobber, and prefer to be with one who is of adult age, and I do mean well into their 20’s. I am no dirty old man. I shared the life I lived with an older man who helped me grow in the adult I am. I could not be who I am without the guidance of the older man. That life included me being with a man at least 20 years older them I was. See I was absent of a father figure, and grew up in a house that was not only dysfunctional, but a family that had only one parent. My mother who played the roles of both mother and father! This left me and my brother basically to raise ourselves. That is not a shot at my late mother because as a single mother she had no choice but to work to keep a roof over our head, food in our stomachs, and clothing on our backs. She did what she had to do to support her family and it is just that simple as that.
Unfortunately I was the target of a mad man who beat me, sexual abused me, and the effects of his actions has lasted a life time even to this day. The sad thing is it was called sibling rivalry which is a greater set of total bullshit. This went on for 10 years! From the age of 6 to the age of 16, and I am one strong mutha fucka as a result of it. See what does not kill you only makes you stronger. I’m a strong black man because I survived it. I can’t describe the things that have been done to me by this person. The most evil and self proclaimed misunderstood person you would never want to meet. The scares both physical & mental are still there, and will serve as a reminder for the rest of my life. Again if it was not for those experiences I could not be the loving man I am today.
This birthday was one to remember, and really opened my eyes to who really are my friends. Big ups to my sister Dawn, my network assistant Da Professor, Author Donald Pebbles, and even a shout to Sean who left me & Da Professor hanging for the ride to the club with the cake. We got there anyway! Special thanks to Maurice Runea, and A few of my neighbors were on hand for the cocktail party at my apartment. Recording artist Jesse O came out to bless this event, and he needs to know the special place in my heart he holds. Darel a new friend from Facebook & his friend was a welcome surprise and he celebrated his birthday as well I want to show special luv to JC of JCintime Presents. He host my party, gave me a guest list of 25 people, and promoted the party as if it was any other special event at Secret Lounge conveniently located in midtown at 525 West 29th Street between 10th & 11th Avenues . I felt almost like a celebrity sipping on the BBOP Banger which was a delicious strawberry Long Island Ice Tea drink named in my honor. My co worker Shirley J & her GF’s came out to bless the occasion. Know you know the str8 girls love to hang with Homo’s. They had a great time and loved the sexual lap dances they received
from the sexy well built GoGo Boy with his rippling muscles, and a bulge so tasty looking I gagged just looking at it. JC books Parties and; really rolls out the red carpet to make you event special, and one to remember. So hit him up, and make it happen. I know he will!
