Ok, I just have a lot on my mind tonight,
Let's talk about relationships,
So.............. let's talk in hypothetical.......
Well scratch that, what is it with this psychological aspect of the "title". I often hear alot of stories about people dating and it goes soooo well and they end up putting a title on the relationship and boom, downhill from there. Hmm, let's think about it, wait let's flip that, then you have those where one party is, well both parties are interested, but.... always that but, lol... one person is just getting over someone or not ready or whatever the case may be... however they are still willing to just chill, have fun, hang out talk, you know do all the same things, just without being exclusive... ok, now let's think.... What actually changes in the relationship, besides the title??? I mean, you could say the whole seeing other people thing would stop, but if the couple really is into each other neither of them prob were seeing other people anyhow... So again, what changes besides the title? Somebody tell me, cuz it's all psychological to me, through a title on it and it goes wrong! Is it that more is expected once that title is issued... if that's the case then that's just a classic set up for failure then. How can you expect more just all of a sudden, If you're not getting all you expect out of a relationship before the title, 10 times out of 10, it's not gonna change once a title is placed.... doesn't work like that.... so ppl, before you put out that title, please make sure you have everything you expect. and maybe, just maybe we can change the stigma that goes along with Titles killing relationships!
goodnight,

Mastermind
So in the words of Lil Wayne "I mastermind, then go after mine"
These words are so true. Anything in life, well any thing worth having needs to be carefully planned and then those plans must be put into action. Ok, Talton what are you ranting about now? Well I'll tell ya,
Basically, I'm about to do just what that quote says, mastermind then go after mine... I know what I want now, and everything is in place. However, one situation has bad timing, but this is something I really can't let go wrong. Hopefully if everything goes to plan, everything will fall into place. So the trick now is to set the cards up to where everything will fall in place. For all you spades players just think of it as waiting for that right time to just unleash those spades after careful planning!
One of the hardest lessons for me, which is getting pounded into me since I've been in Florida, is that nothing just comes to you or is just handed to you. You gotta work for it or put in work. I'm not gonna even lie, in my lifetime i've been given alot of things and have been blessed to be in that position. There were things that I did have to work for, but still I don't think I fully grasped that lesson. Well, after 6 months of taking this beating it's sinkin in, lol... And guess what, I'm ready. I know exactly what I want, and I'm gon mastermind and then go after mind! Trust,

Mastermind.... interrupted
Yeah, so um... well excuse me, Hi folks!
I was about to write on the topic of this which is Mastermind, but another issue has interrupted the original thought. So, i've decided to speak on this BET situation...
BET, Black Entertainment Television, so they call it. My question is, why does Black Entertainment have to consist of only music videos and reality shows. Yea you might catch and old Wayan's Bros. or somethin, but come on nah, be real.
Now yes, I do acknowledge that it's an Entertainment station and not really is meant to be informative, but is music the only form of entertainment we have, and is it so wrong to have a form of entertainment that's informative. I mean look at Comedy Central, a station based on parody, they have that show called the Colbert Report i think it is, a big hit, quite funny actually... but the information is true. So even if you don't watch the CNN's and the fox news and stuff, just from watching a show on comedy central, you can still kinda know what's going on.
Another thing i don't like is the fact that BET is even owned by a Black person, so basically we're not even choosing what should entertain us, well excuse me, we are by boosting the ratings of the current entertainment...
That's just something I had to speak on,
now back to regular broadcasting... lol

Special Guest: Tyler Perry
Hey guys, well i thought i'd spice things up a little, We have a special guest here on Real Talk today... Well actually I read this and just had to share it with everyone because it touched me and hopefully it will touch others if I pass it on... who knows, maybe God is using me to get this to you! The following is a message from Tyler Perry's website I believe... (none of the following comes from me)
Well without futher ado, I'll hand the floor over to Tyler........
Something happened to me yesterday that I had to share with you.
I was dealing with some foolishness, as we all do from time to time, and I
was about to get frustrated and start to complain--but before I could get
a negative word out, I caught it. It’s always better to bless than to
curse. So I decided to think about all of the blessings in my life. I went
for a ride over to 47 Twenty Fifth Street, Apartment 8 here in Atlanta.
This was my last apartment; right after being homeless. I lived in it
just 10 short years ago.
When I got there I saw that they were going to be tearing it down soon. I
asked the new developer if I could get in and take some pictures (I have
to show you these pictures). I wasn’t prepared for what happened when I
went in. I opened the door and a flood of memories came back to me. The
apartment is one room, a bathroom and a wall of cabinets that was the
kitchen. I so remember sitting in this place and being so hungry and so
unhappy and wondering what my life was worth. Asking questions like,
“Should I go on living?” Mad at the world and still behind in the rent. To
think that it was only 10 years ago blew my mind. Needless to say, I
couldn’t hold it any longer. I sat on the edge of the tub and the tears
would not stop.
I remember back then reaching out and nobody would help me. No friend, no
family--nobody. I called and asked one friend of mine for $20 so that I
could have food for the week. He told me that he was coming to bring it,
but it took him six days. I had all of these hopes and dreams but all I
could see were those four walls. All I could see was what was right in
front of me. Sometimes you start looking at your immediate and forget
about the inevitable (if you believe).
I didn’t know how I was going to get there, but something in me would keep
telling me, “You’re going to make it…hold on!” If you’re hearing that
voice then listen to it. THAT’S GOD. Remembering all of this really shook
me up. I got so sad but right away I realized where God has brought me
from and then I got so happy. And the thing that touched me the most was
that in all of that despair and hopelessness, I thought that I was alone,
but it was clear to me that GOD WAS THERE EVEN THEN!!! I wish that you
could feel what I’m feeling right now. I didn’t know it at the time but
now, looking back, I see that He was there all the time.
I know that some of you are tired of hearing this stuff from me, but there
are others who need it like they’ve never needed it before. So please,
bear with me (smile). Listen to me. Every person that I thought would
help me turned their back on me. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not mad or
bitter. I’m grateful. I have learned since then that sometimes God will
close every door around you so that you will have to look at Him and Him
alone to supply all of your needs. I wish that I could bring every one of
you into this apartment and show you the miracles that God can and is
willing to do for anyone who believes.
God does not require us to be perfect for him to bless us. He rains
[blessings] on the just as well as the unjust. But He does require faith
for everything from salvation to miracles. I know that these are trying
times, but LOOK to GOD--Oh my, LOOK to GOD!! And HOLD ON!!! HOLD ON!! KEEP
MOVING…just keep moving.

I'd like to thank my special guest Tyler Perry, even though he doesn't know he was here, lol.... but he has been very blessed, and has shared his blessing with millions of people through his work and I greatly respect him for that. I hope to also one day be in the position to do the same. That voice he spoke of that said, "you're gonna make it" is the same one I hear all the time. Just as he didn't, I have no idea how! but i'm gonna keep on living and striving to be the best Talton I can be.
Well without futher ado, I'll hand the floor over to Tyler........

I've been bitten
I wanna call her, text her, somethin' but I just can't!! I'm about to burst! I haven't felt this way in a long time. Maybe it's just a phase, who knows... I don't think it is. How many phases can you go through in a lifetime. Aren't those for teenagers who hate their parents? Ah well, only time will tell us the answer. All I can do now is produce this and look back on it years from now and either say I told ya so, or what the hell was I thinking! lol
These are just inner thoughts, but for some reason I felt the need to get them out of me. When I could have my way I had to find another way, and this was the best avenue... hmm, who would have ever thunk it? Besides, I hating writing. But as I've always said, my bestest friends are the ones whom I've had a period of hate, or should I say dislike for... Well that's kinda harsh, let's just say they got on my damn nerves! Let's take my best friend of all, my other half, the female version of me, the dancer, my sister.... I remember wanting to disown her ass... lol I guess the more I wanted you gone and the more you stayed the closer we got... So to all of the ones I call friend, thanks for stickin it out and gettin on my nerves! lol
Back to......... oops almost gave it away, There's a little thing called confidentiality that I almost broke. Besides lots of eyes may find this, I can't control that.... well technically I could, but I've never been one to hold my tongue. Imma say what I gotta say like it or not, and always stand behind it. If I'm wrong I admit it, either way I go on with life... ppl dwell to much on stupid shit. If I have an issue with you, I'll just tell you, hopefully we can come to an understanding... either way I'm not gon' change how I'd normally act, we still cool regardless unless you just have no care or concern whatsoever. oh but, I was talkin about her.... I just..... I wish I could..... :) ??? i'm speechless, which is silly cuz I'm typing. You know how when you're thinking, but you can still hear yourself talking in your head? or am I the only one? maybe not yourself, but you hear the words. Is it correct to say your hear your thoughts? hmm, makes you wonder.... but some how I miss her, just want to hear her voice... see her smile... Can't stop thinking, I've been bitten, but shhhh..... that's b/w you and me......
whew! i feel better now, that should get me through the night, lol

How am I'm supposed to breath?
We all know we need our "air" to breath. Well why is it that our "air" seems like it runs out and makes it hard for us to breath? As far myself, I've had to adjust to my "air" and it's changes many a times. This last adjustment was big though. I mean, the "air" was just at a constant flow... it was great. I remember when I met it's quality and pureness.. it was almost like this "air" was especially made for me. However, the time came for me to leave the region in which this "air" was native to. I tried my best to bottle it and take it along, even tried to import it... but it became more and more scarce, until I was to the point where I couldn't breath again.... I'd only get enough to take a full breath and that had to last me until the next breath. It was hard, and getting worse... Finally, I stopped trying to breath and just breathed.... I wouldn't say a new "air", but just my own source of air.
If you take nothing else from this at least take this... Always remember, life will give as well as take things from you. You must love who you are and be confident in you because in the end, you're the one who has to be happy with you.
"Air" will always be there for you to breathe,
