I just wanted to say a special hello
to all the members of the "PLANET".
And now, a little about myself.
I am ?? years old with a five year old son
for whom I must say is the joy of my life.
His name is Austin. When i`m not working
I enjoy spending time with my son,
playing basketball, golf (fanatic), reading,
listening to music, meeting people
and surfing on the internet.

I`m in the process of introducing
a golf apparell clothing line.
Feel free to drop me a line or two
and let me know you`re out there.


GOOD BLACK MEN
You pass them on the streets,
in the malls and the halls at work.
Most of you can`t see because
you don`t know what a good
man really looks like.

He usually isn`t flashy enough
or rich enoughto turn your head.
He might not wear a suit or
drive a Lexus. He might not have a
"body like Tyson or a Denzel face."
But, as you mature, you?ll realize
it`s better to find someone who`s
got your back than someone who
turns your head.

A good man doesn`t agree
wholeheartedly with everything
you say. He doesn`t just tell
you what you want to hear
and do the opposite. He
doesn`t declare how sensitive,
sweet, caring, sincere, he is
(he won`t have to because it shows).

He has his own opinions and
yours may clash, but he won`t
degrade you to prove he`s right.
He even admits to being wrong,
especially if you are willing
to do the same in return.
A good man is not going to
meet every item on your checklist.
He is human with frailties
and faults mixed in with all
of his wonderful, strong attributes.

A good man needs your love
and respect. He needs to feel that you don`t
live to "catch" him doing something
wrong so you can declare, "Aha!
I knew you were a dog!!"

A good man isn`t insecure about
his woman having great achievements.
In fact he is her number one
supporter and becomes disappointed
with her when she begins to lose
herself,for the sake of "not hurting
his feelings, or I just want to
make him happy." His happiness comes
with seeing her excel in her
dreams and accomplishing her goals.
For as she excels and is exalted,
a good woman will bring her
good man right along with her.

A good man doesn`t necessarily give
you a huge Birthday or Valentine`s
gift. He shows his love in the ways
that are comfortable to him.
Don`t judge him by TV standards.
No one is living a fairy tale.
You`ll miss out on your own
by buying into the myth
that all men are no good.
It`s just not true.

A good man is a gift
to all who know him
He`s dependable like the sunrise,
because his goodness springs
from inner strength not
outward circumstances.
A good man spreads happiness
everywhere he goes,
And he leaves
everyone he meets
feeling
a little better than they
did before.
He`s a pleasure
to be around,
An inspiration
in good times and bad,
A gift for all seasons...
He`s a good man.
