Change We Need Pt. 1
By Dan-Sean Mankind at 12 January, 2009, 12:00 am
Throughout my experiences with dating, I have encountered people who aren’t accustomed to being supportive, trustworthy or respectful. There were times where I fell short of giving my all for whatever reason, and things didn’t work out the way I would have wanted them to. The trial and error that is experienced when seeking a [...]

I’ve been in my share of relationships and there were times when I knew that the person with whom I had dealings with wasn’t the right person for me.
When I came to that realization, I made it a priority to shake myself loose of that person.
It saddens me to see people carry on relationships with [...]
Gone for Too Long
By Urban Thought at 15 September, 2008, 2:09 pm
Please allow me to apologize for my absence. It would seem that life has consumed all my free time and I have been unable to actually blog.
I’ve also neglected everyone on my RSS reader. I haven’t frequented many sites in the past month (or should I say most of the summer).
Between traveling and my forever [...]
Oh Brother!
By Dan-Sean Mankind at 26 July, 2008, 12:00 pm
When I think of perfection
You’re the first thing I see
Because ever since I could recall
That’s what you’ve been to me
Instrumental in my growth
Even though I’m a bit older
Anytime I need to
I could lean on your shoulder
You’re the light shining brightly
On the darkest of days
And a phenomenal man
I wish more had your ways
I love that you’re [...]
My Number System
By Dan-Sean Mankind at 13 July, 2008, 6:00 am
The reason I decided to blog this is because for the last 5-6 years or so, I have noticed a pattern when it comes to numbers with me. I used to think that coincidence was the reason behind why I seemed to always look at the clock at 3:33 and 12:34.
Today, I was searching “Google” [...]

Free Writing: Change

Subject: Change
Time: 10 minutes
Change is overwhelming me at this juncture in time. I don’t know where to turn don’t know where to go don’t know the beginning from the end. But I do know right from wrong. But I’m not sure if the right choice is ahead of me or even in the near future. [...]
Indecision

Indecision
Same like the riddle of which came first or
what happens at the crossroads
and if it involves the selling of souls,
What happens when the city of dreams
bright lights and apple flavor becomes a modern day Attica?
When the spotlights that line Ol’ Broadway
are searchlights illuminating prison numbers like train lines
monitoring the blank, the faceless and the [...]
No Address, Part 2: Spoke to Your Kids
By Urban Thought at 10 April, 2008, 12:30 am
Continued from No Address, Part 1:
You’re daughter called me. I’m sure she got the number from you. I don’t know why she bothered calling. I didn’t get why she called. It made no sense at all. My mother thought it great. She talked to me and asked me what I knew of you. I told [...]
A Man…

Should accept responsibility for his actions-Should set the example for those around him being a positive influence-Should never raise his hands to hurt a woman-Should cry when he feels the need to and know that crying doesn’t make you weak-Should do whatever he can to provide for himself and his family-Should never allow ego to [...]

I love New York and all that it is. Growing up in NYC isn’t for everyone but it damn sure is for me. Riding the train this morning, in a packed subway car I realized that morning routines can be so solemn. You have a bunch of strangers standing or swaying to the rhythm of [...]

My, my, my how life has changed over the years. There was once a time when you would have to call someone to communicate with them (if you couldn’t see them in person) or send them a letter through the mail. But with the invention of text messaging and e-mail,life just gets easier.
When I first [...]
