Nice guys are all around, you just need to search for them.... sometimes even in the past.My vision for this series was picking out each itsy bitsy spi- I mean ray of sunshine from encounters with guys that aren't... well, shitty. But furthermore, to crescendo into a symphony of chivalrous men. Well, looking back, I found a poem I wrote for one of the top 3 greatest men I know. He takes the cake for this series... that's why his dessert is mini cakes so he can share-- we don't want one blog post stealing all the shine, making the other posts jealous. Why? Because, then one post will start poking "Looking" and "Looking" will say, "watch your fingers." One post will say, "Oh, I've gotta finger for ya." "Looking" says, "You're about to have one less." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah" "Wanna take this outside?" "I thought you'd punk out. Come on!" And now you have this full-blown brawl of two blog posts and there's no referee because Stephanie can't login and the fans have nothing to read because Weebly says: "Please stand by. We are experiencing some technical difficulties." And then the fans become disgruntled, because they don't want to stand, while others believe big brother is watching because "how else would Weebly know I was standing at my computer?" And then I would huff and puff and.... we would all fall down. So, to avoid this, ring around the nice guys, you get a mini cheesecake and YOU get a mini cheesecake; you all get mini cheesecakes! Thanks for not saying it's too late Thanks for not saying we need a break Thanks for listening and trying to understand my twisted mind Thanks for keeping rational even though my words weren’t kind Thanks for opening up- your soul and then your home I’m tragically sorry for our beautiful relationship that was almost blown, Shred to pieces from a materialistic piece of mind, your girl straight trippin' How selfish and cruel, those pieces of your heart, I was slowly chippin' I’m sorry a thousand times more for practically belittling your efforts But no matter what was said, all u have given emotionally, physically, and mentally has NOT been severed I appreciate this trip and every trip we take I appreciate every meal out and every meal you make I appreciate your smile and your overwhelming courage to let me in What hurts most about what I did is that I love you by every hair of your. chiny chin chin Can’t believe I hurt you. I caused pain to my most dear In retrospect, I may have ruined our whole year But you calmed me and reassured me, it will be alright I’m so sorry my materialistic selfishness caused that fight I’m sorry I “got used to” your charm and generous daily portrayals of emotion After my harsh words, I hope you can still feel my devotion For you, I truly have a heart full of love I'm at peace in your arms with a hug So I’m sorry for letting the commercialism of valentines completely blind My eyes to the real man before me who has devoted all his time To making me happy and enhancing my worth You don’t pressure me with physical needs or glorify your man turf Your respect for me is sensational and your love for me could move mountains I’m sorry I messed up so badly because I know on me you were counting I hope I didn’t let you down too much Last night was very rough And I will try to make it up. This poem was written in 2013. Everyone (or inspirational key chains and door signs) says "keep moving forward" and "never look back" and "grow past the past" but, I believe you need to look in life's rear-view mirror sometimes. The past may be "just a story," but it's YOUR story. It's something you endured; something that helped make you... or even break you, but that's significant. I believe the past has more power than these "inspirational" words convey. After all, they are merely words and the past are comprised of hardships, emotions, physical changes, alternative perspectives, and opportunities. These, and thousands more, build character and that's what life is all about-- setting the foundation for how you choose to live the rest of it. The past has more relevance than many pay tribute. Having a grasp on your past, your family's past, or even your country's past, is detrimental to its future. The knowledge you earned from the pages of the past can build or crumble ambitions for the future. Looking back is vital, just be sure not to make a nest there. Now THAT should be a key chain! BAM! As promised in the PAST (2 minutes or so), here are the coveted mini-cheesecakes
