Love’s Rejections

"Love's Rejections"

I was only 12, and I felt my heart beats. I saw her; I was in love, standing feet to feet. Beautiful, sexy eyes, luscious lips, there she stood. I paused, eyes in the air, saying "Damn she lookin' good" I said "Hey darling, how are you? What is your name? She said "Hi, (giggling) said I'm fine, my name is Serenity. We talked, lots of flirting, and I decided to ask her out. She stood paused for a minute, said I'm sorry, but I like you as a friend".

I was then 14, 2nd year in high school. I saw her; I was in love, standing feet to feet. There she was, beautiful brown eyes, went so right along with her nice sexy thighs. I approached, nervous, sweaty palms, heart pumping hard, said hey, what's your name? She said Hi, beautiful smile, teeth shine, said my name's Janet. I told her I don't do this Normally, I am kind of shy. But I think you're beautiful, I'm feeling you, and I would like to take you out sometime." She smiled, said "I'm sorry, but I see you as just a friend".

I turned 16, my 3rd year in high school. I saw her; I was in love, standing feet to feet. There she stood, long black hair, beautiful body, room brightens when she smiled. I couldn't resist, I couldn't resist, and I went the extra mile. I said hey pretty young thing, may I ask what your name is? She giggled; face turned red, and said "my name is Julissa". I said "babe, I don't do this normally, I am kind of shy, but I think you are beautiful, and I can't help but ask, will you be mine?" She laughed and smiled, said "I think you're a cutie, but you been a great friend to me, and I want to be your friend, I'm sorry", and walked away.

My confidence ran out, I felt hopeless in a world of beautiful women I just can't seem to have. My world turned upside down, I just don't understand. What is it that Women don't like about me? I take a shower every day, I am a gentlemen when need be. Am I not good enough to have a Woman? Am I too good for woman? All the girls that ever rejected me, I see them with the bummiest looking dudes I have ever seen in my life. Some even stink as if they don't take showers. I just don't understand the message that is sent to me here. Is it that I have to just ask them out first, and then be their friend, or do girls just do not like me? I feel so alone, so depressed. These are love's rejections for me. Will I ever find "Her", or is it just one big fairytale?

Her

I think about her all the time. her moves, her hair, her face her lines, divinity in motion. I feel moved by the essence of her presence. I see her only twice a week which is barely enough. I look at her time in time out and I simply can't seem to find the words. I want to talk to her with all my might and i wish it was that simple. Gosh she is so beautiful so devine. I wish I can just walk up to her and say, "Baby, I been eyeing for a while and I gotta say you are so beautiful mami, so sexy, I mean look at you girl you look soooo beautiful. So I'm sayin' if you interested and you don't have a man I wanna know if we can get to know each other and see what's good with me and you. What do you say?" If only I really had the courage to just go up to her and ask her. I can't help but think of her saying " Sorry but I have a boyfriend" or "sorry your cool and everything but I don't really like you like that/I don't really want a boyfriend now because I just went through a bad break-up" I just can't help but think one of those 3 outcomes will occur. It's so hard to think positive in these situations. I don't know exactly if it's my self-esteem, my confidence, or just pure negativity. I'm not exactly sure of what it is but I want it to end. I want to finally go up to her and hopefully get the answer I want to happen. She deserves a good man, to be with me. I'm tired of the bullshit and lonliness I been feeling since my last break-up. I want something new, something exciting, and be with a woman I like and vice-versa. I want it to mean something without any fake shit. I just gotta try....... I really gotta try my best and hope for the best. I just gotta try my best. No matter what the odds are. I would rather go up to her and ask her what's good if she single then asking her out while in a relationship because then I would be left clueless, I wouldn't know for sure if she likes me if she's in a relationship. So it wouldn't be so heartbreaking but actually would be heartbreaking. Hmmmm I'm gonna try.... I'm gonna ask her on the day I return to my school. I just pray that she is single and remains single to the day we return so I can make my move and change her status to "In A Relationship" with me that is. Well here it goes..... (TO BE CONTINUED)

Ms. Independent?? yeaa right!!

Hey look Im sorry but I have to get this off my chest. Real talk, I hate when women try 2 call themselves "Ms. Independent" nowadays. That shit is so annoying. I laugh at da shit honestly. Now don't get me wrong, there are women out there that are independent and believe me I love that, but please save the drama and leave that shit outside cuzz if Ne-yo never sang that song none of these gurls wud be sayin that. Gosh there women sayin they independent and cant even wash their ass right. So please, cut the bullshit cuzz that shit is soooooo played out and so not original real talk.

annoying during a train ride

look i understand some people are unfortunate and dont have money, no jobs, etc. and what better place to display talent and earn some money playing the instruments, some people faking disabilities feeding off human emotions to squeeze a few bucks, but for the love of the lord, please DO NOT come on to the train and play your instruments. It ruins the entire purpose of listening to our ipods/Mp3 players, etc. We spent mucho dinero on these devices and for you to come on the train and play a shitty piece it ruins the purpose of enjoying music during a long ass train ride. And when they make that stupid little speech to make us feel bad for you, "i have no job, no money, No place to sleep, i haven't eaten in 2 days" like we are supposed to feel bad for you and shit. And most of y'all are crackheads, drug users, etc. Believe me I know. With respect to the people who really are homeless, enough with them tired ass speeches and shitty guitar playing. My music player is way more important and worth my time.

Do You Love Me?

"Do you love me? Do you love me? your lips so tender so sweet. my love for you is hard to keep. My thoughts of you race each other out my head through the ceiling. I can't describe these feelings, just one touch unvales a healing. I tried 2 tell you, I tried to tell you, but ur presence alone makes me weak. I wish I had the words to tell you, but you just leave me speechless. Do u love me?"

who da fuck r y'all

Ok you walking down the street minding your own business and all of a sudden this gorgeous beautiful woman walks by. You just can't help but stare b/c she is just "drop dead" gorgeous. Then as she turns around and looks at you noticing you are looking at her ............she makes a face of disapproval. Nevermind the fact that he believes you are gorgeous, nevermind he's interested in you and may be they guy she's been looking for her whole life. Cmon now really? What's with the face? I swear man only in New York you gotta wear a fly ass outfit with a fitted cap and tight sneakers to get a woman's attention. Why the fuck do we gotta wear these flashy ass clothing? You bitches ain't first class? Like who da FUCK R Y'ALL?? For real now, I mean you try to say how some niggas r bummy but you bitches r living in da projects just like we r. Just cuz a dude got on black sneakers, a plain shirt, and shorts on (not name brand shit) don't mean anything. Clothes and money don't make the man sweetheart I'm sorry I don't know what the fuck you were thinking. It matters what he has up there (his menatlity) and here (his heart). Not "oh how much money da dude got" or "What clothes da dude wears". Now don't get me wrong some women do understand that concept here but a lot of y'all r madd fake. Don't say u look for men with good personality when u really don't. Look I'm sure a lot of women have standards but seriously girl, don't set your standards so high cuz u really gonna miss out on a good man. There are still a lot of us that aren't players so don't underestimate a mans talent by his clothing. Its about his mentality and if his heart is in the right place. Always remember that. I'm naming it not only in the male gender defense but my own b/c I've run across a few women in my lifetime that underestimated me to be something that I really that I'm not. so to end this note I say good luck to all the real dudes out there tryin to find that special girl

through her eyes

God she is so beautiful and da sad part is that I don't know if she sees that. I see a goddess when I look at her. I stare at her often cuz she is so gorgeous and I also like the reaction I get when she looks back at me while I stare at her. Gorgeous as she is, I don't know if she would settle for an average guy like me. I mean I don't believe I'm the ugliest dude in da world but I just don't know if she would settle with a guy like me. I'm not in the best fit shape physically. When I look in the mirror I see an average guy just making his money. Sometimes I question myself, am I good enough to actually make a woman happy and feel good? I wonder if she feels the same way? Does she see the same thing I see when I look in the mirror everyday? Hmm I wonder does she see a fine handsome man who goal is to be with her and make her happy. Is there something she sees in me and doesn't see it yet, and wants me to bring that part of me to light? Sometimes I feel like I'm gettin somewhere and maybe she finally sees that I'm for real and I'm the one for her. And somedays I feel like I'm being used. I don't know if its just my impatience or is it her just testing me to see what I'm about and if I really do care about her. I really don't know but one of these days when we out together we gotta have a sit down and talk with her about "us". I can't picture being with anyone else. Out of all the girls I've dated and liked, she is the only one I can't get my mind off of. Its so funny when I'm with her I feel so happy so in peace. When I'm away from her I want her more. I want to be with her so bad. One time when I was mad about something she was so affectionate and caring. I want her to be mine. She's the only one I want to spend my life with. She's everything I want in a woman. I just hope my dream comes true. I wonder if she feels the same about me? Hmm there's only one wayto find out.

little chip off of Brooklyn

I been living on this little chip off of Brooklyn for 20 years. My eyes have begun to open as to the true nature of the place. I have to say I'm really beginning to become irritated. I know the place like the back of my hand. But the shit I'm starting to see really disgusts me. People hanging out on the street corners, gunshots going off every night ., cab drivers acting stank, etc. However I never seen it any better then what it already is so I guess nothing has changed beside the weather. I guess you cud say that its still "normal" around here. Here are things that is considered "normal" in C.I. it wouldn't be normal if I'm waiting for the elevator and when it comes to make the stop, a douchebag in the elevator presses the emergency button to stop it and make it go down. It wouldn't be normal if I walk outside my building and I don't see the fellas outside my building smoking a blunt and talkin loud into all hours of the night. It wouldn't be normal if I walk up my block and not see fellas hang outside the corner deli drinking beer, or soda and hollerin out racial slurs at one another. It wouldn't be normal if I take a cab home and the cab driver willingly w/o solicitation drop u off in front of your building. It wouldn't be be normal if Lenny the chinese food guy isn't working in the chinese restaurant (the best in c.I.) taking orders and not giving free drinks to the people who give him business for years. It wouldn't be normal if I walked in my elevator and didn't see piss in the elevator and condoms in the staircase. It wouldn't be normal if I go in the cell phone doctor and not see Ury selling cell phones and being madd cool with people. It wouldn't be normal if I was doing my laundry on 30th and surf and the same black bitch all da time asking me for money "for food". It wouldn't be normal if I'm walkin through the amusement park I work at and people always asking for a free game. Its wouldn't be normal if people actually listened to the rules of the game that I operate and actually dnt complain after spending a meezely dollar. It wouldn't be normal if the customers that play my game say that "this shit is rigged". It wouldn't be normal if people don't come up to me and ask where the bathroom is. It wouldn't be normal if people don't ask me where the ticket booth is when there are 4 big ticket boxes in the park with a sign lit up that says "TICKETS" . It wouldn't be normal if people aren't fighting on July 4th at my workplace. It wouldn't be normal if my boss would not bitch @ me and my co workers for not making enough money on a hot weekend and each game made about $300 to $400 each. It wouldn't be normal if it was supposed to rain on a day that I'm working and it actually winds up raining ending the workday. It wouldn't be normal if the russian people living in my building were actually nice and actually say "excuse me" when trying to pass out of the elevator. It wouldn't be normal if the Mermaid Avenue section wasn't busy during the day. And so many more things I would make this place so un-normal. But to me the things that occur in this place is ironically "normal" to me. I guess that's what makes me a "Coney Island Baby" :-D

(ROUND OF APPLAUSE) awww shucks thank you thank you. Yes yours truely has returned. I've been awfully busy (in other words lazy or stuck)lately. But now im back and thanks to a friend I have something to talk about lol.

Earlier in the year when I received my Pell check, my pop said that I should go and aim to get my Driver's License. Now honestly I didnt want to cuz i did't want to spend the money for the lessons and shit but you know what I really wanted to get my license. I called the driving school located in Sheepshead Bay(which by the way has a old bitch who isnt friendly at all. I'll get to that later) and set it up. I paid for the 6 lesson package, the road test, and the 5 hour class. It cost me a total of $285. Now my original instructor name was Bob. He was such a nice fellow. Always friendly, patient for a man his age, and super nice. He told me stories about his wife and his son. He also explained how he got his license, the "good old days", etc. Anyway I took all 6 lessons with him and I learned alot from him. I took the 5 hour class which wasnt as boring as I thought. People explained their experiences driving, and laws of the road, and blah blah blah. Now the day of the road test i signed up for an extra lesson, which cost me $32. and then right after the lesson my instructor drove me to the road test site. I was shitting bricks. Adrenaline was pumping all over uncontrollably. My instructor told me of stories of past students that failed over dumb shit. I can't lie it made me giggle. But I didnt wanna laugh cause I thought it would jynx me into failing. As me and Bob were waiting he told me stories about how the DMV had a quota back in the 70s on how they had to fail a certain amount of people. I knew that happened at some point, but according to Bob they supposedly don't do it anynmore. Anyway their was this big fat guy walking from car to car signing the 5 hour certificate and looked at the my Driver's Permit. I tell you these people here don't appear friendly. Then about 20 minutes later the DMV worker is ready for me. I got out and my legs were so weak. I sat in the driver's seat, put on my seatbelt, adjusted my mirrors, and waited for his instructions. He then uttered "Ok Mr. Westbrook, you may start the Ignition, and begin." I turned on the engine and checked my mirrors but apparently I didnt check my blindspot as i pulled out so I was already penalized 5 points. I signaled left and pulled out. I drove and he said "make a left here" so I turned and signaled as I made the lest on West 36th Street, "make a left here" so I signaled and made the left as instructed on Canal, then as I was driving there was a dead end. It was a path to a circle and there was a box in the middle bolted down. He then said "Ok make a K-Turn". At that point I was nervous. I didnt know how to manuver a K- Turn with the box in the middle. I was stuck and didnt Know what to do. So I just went around it. Then the guy starts bitching at me. "Whats the matter with you?? Your driving in a two way street like that what is wrong with you? He sucked his teeth. Then as I made the turn back on Canal, there was a Stop Sign and I stopped (not complete) and kept driving. He said I passed the stop sign. I didnt wanna argue with him b/c I already pissed him off already. Everytime he bitched all I kept saying was, "Sorry sir" "Yes Sir" "Im so sorry sir" and my confidence went to shit. I pulled up to the starting point and parked behind a bergandy car. He typed w/e he typed on his laptop and said "I felt you were very nervous. You passed a stop sign, you drove in a two way street. I think you need...more lessons." He gave me my receipt and I got out into the passenger's seat very disappointed. I fucking failed. I wanted to punch that guy, but in the end it was my own fault. Bob then got into the car after speaking with the DMV dude, and said he was sorry, he wishes me luck next time I take the road test. I was pissed off inside but put on a smile on the outside. Everything just looked dull to me. I was sad,mad, very disapointed in myself b/c I knew I could've passed if I wasnt so nervous.
On that same day I called the school and asked to sign up for the next available road test. I received a call 2 weeks before the road test. The "Bitch" said that I needed to make the payment by that following monday. So I did and I decided to take a lesson the day before the road test. I set it up and hoping Bob would be my instructor but unfortunately he wasn't. It was this young cool guy in his late 20s. His name was Richard. He was an awesome dude. He talked bout his experiences in Sheepshead, girls, weed, his cab driving days, etc. He told me how the Mafia mistakened him for another guy they were looking for. Oh of course he did his job as far as general rules of the road, what to do in certain situations, etc. His experiences and stories came more toward the end of the lesson. So then I found out that my pop and mom was leaving to South Carolina for my Grandfather's Funeral ironically on the day of the road test. My road test was at 9AM but I wasn't sure if we were leaving in the morning or that night. So I didnt wanna take a risk and not reschedule if that was to happen. So I called the school and explained the situation to the representative on the phone. So I was put on hold and then the Bitch came on. And now you will find out why I call her "Bitch". So the Bitch came on and said, "yes Edwin. Whats going on with your Grandfather?" I explained the issue the same way as I did to the other Representative. She said, "So why did you take a lesson today and waste your time and our time. You basically wasted 34 bucks for a lesson for no reason. If u reschedule ur lesson, it will be $25 bucks deducted from the original cost of the road test which is $60, for each week I reschedule. Don't know bout ur grandfather and dont care so each week its 25 bucks taken off of the 60 you paid. U wanna reschedule or no? Call back in an hour and let me know otherwise you will be penalized" click. Now u see why don't you? Not an ounce of sympathy or compassion. So unprofessional, and rude. I was stuck and unsure of what to do. So When my pops woke up I explained to him what the lady said, and he said that they can't take money from you b/c there were no services rendered. "You let them know 24 hours in advance so its not like its an inconvience. Let em know eddie, if they call themselves penalizing your payment, I got a dam good Lawyer. I will sue them blind. Tell them that Eddie lets see how fast they change their minds." I was so relieved and excited when pop told me that. Then I received a voicemail from the Bitch pretty much telling me that if I don't call by 2PM she will just penalize me 25 bucks automatically. She got me so pissed off. I then called my aunt and asked what time were we supposed to leave for South Carolina and she said tomorrow night around 7. As soon as she uttered the words "Tomorrow Night" I was relieved. I called the Bitch back and told her I'll be available for the test. So for all future drivers going to the Driving School at Sheepshead, beware of the BITCH. She Sounds old so you will know its her.
Anyway getting back,the next morning I woke up at 6:40AM in the Morning and got to the School at 7:45AM as instructed. The instructor drove me back to the road test site and there we sat until about 8:50AM. Before the DMV dude (Not the same dude as the guy at the first road test) and prayed to god that I pass the road test. I got in the car, adjusted my mirror, put on my seatbelt, and waited further instructions. "Alright, you may start the ignition and begin when you are ready." I turned on the ignition made sure I looked at my blindspots, signaled, and pulled out. I drove and he said make a left, the he said make a 3- point turn (K-Turn) I did it with no problem(thank god it wasnt at the same spot as last time). Then he ordered me to parallel park. Done. Then he wanted me to back up and park behind the car parallel to me. I did it ok but I was a lil too far from the curb. I pulled off and started driving, he then told me to turn left, and everytime from that point he kept saying that my turns were too short, that it shud be @ a 90 degree angle and to watch it. I figured I failed. He then instructed me from that point and we were back where we started. I sat there and I kept saying that I knew I failed. I also said to myself that "Maybe its just not meant to be for me to drive." He then stated, "Alright Mr. Westbrook, in a road test you are not allowed to score above 30, and you scored 40 young man." I was mad and sad. I just felt horrible. I failed again.........so I thought.......... "Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt because I think you were a little nervous. He asked me, Am I right??? I replied "Yes sir." He asked "would I be wrong for giving you the benefit of the doubt?" I said "No sir" He then typed some shit and printed out my receipt, "Alright young man sign here. Congragulations heres your license, good luck and be careful out there" "Thank you sir, I really appreciate your consideration, Thank you so much" And there it was. I couldn't believe it, I got my License, my prayers were answered. I was soooooo happy. I wanted to square dance in my shorts lol. I continued to thank god for his guidance and for what he did for me. I Felt overjoyed and excited. I felt so good. Even though I got off the hook, and got lucky, I am forever so greatful. I can't wait to get my first car and start driving. And as for the bitch that did me dirty, YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK. SUCK IT REAL NICE LICK ALL AROUND IT BITCH. MAKE UR BITCHASS CHOKE AND GAG ON MA DICK FUCKING OLD HAG. That concludes my first blog post like 3 months lol. I GOT MY LICENSE! I GOT MY LICENSE! I wish all the future student drivers luck on pursuing their Driver's License.
