So I bought a book a loooong time ago that was geared towards young black men who were struggling to deal with their race and homosexuality. It basically sat on my shelves for months until I just happened across it last night.
What ensued was a consuming of what the author (Jonathan Jones) had to say about growing up black and gay from his perspective. I'm also reading a book that was written by a professor at Emory (whose name escapes me right now.) One of the great things that the Jones guy had to say was that we should spend less time worrying about when our next relationship is coming and more about how we can be the best person we can be which will in turn be more attractive to that special someone when he comes into our lives.
And I couldn't agree more.
Granted, me surfing match.com and the MeatMarket ain't helping things so I'm glad that both subscriptions will be lapsing, so that I no longer have the temptation to spend a well deserved hour on those sites.
And it's helped compel me to restart working out (at home using my Biggest Loser DVDs) as well as get my lazy ass back over and start playing volleyball again.
It's been a whole friggin' year...I probably won't even recognize anyone anymore....
But it's all about reestablishing what's important to me and right now, it's not being a lazy depressed bum...
