I'm working on the second and final installment to my "Tidbits" posts. They should be up on the blog tomorrow late afternoon or so. But I just got off Facebook (I'm so addicted because I'm catching up wit' er'rybody I lost contact with in the last 20 years. Facebook rawks!!!) and an not quite ready to go back to bed, so I checked my e-mail.
Now I'm a lil bit frustrated and perplexed. Here's why. About a week ago I wrote a well thought out email to a brother blogger, no names please, asking him if he owuldn't mind joining the collective effort to my other blog MALE. I respect this brother for his work is TALENTED. He writes from the hand of God and I am too jealous of his gift. Not really, just in admiration is all.
N-t-way, I said in said letter I would understand if he declined or felt our cause was not inline with his purpose. Cool. No problem. I've had several guys I've asked turn me down. I'm cool wid'it. At least they all had the courtesy to respectfully decline. This brother? Not a word!
We are a bit confused cause I know he's post once, twice, thrice, and more to his blog since I wrote him. I thought maybe he'd take the time to just say no or sumthin, sumthin...but I got bupkis! And people wonder why I have inferiority complexes?????
Brother X, you know who you are. If you read this, can you just take a moment to email me to let me know the deal? My feelinz ain't hurt, but yeah, Ian want's to know why I ain't had a holla back. I know my writing is not as superb, but dang bro! Ian thought you'd at least praise a brother for trying to reach new heights, LOL. Just kidding.
Ah, life. Ain't it grand as roses at the city dump?!?!

Pa, I hope I'm not said brotha...you know I think the world of your blog and signed on the moment You asked...met me know wassup..
Cocoa...Oh Heck, it ain't you. You know I'd be up in your grill if it was, LOL...no another one of our esteemed brothers who is WELL known on the blogsphere. I'll let you know who through email...
well it's his loss...you are doing a good job
Thanks V. I'm glad you guys have been very supportive with the effort. I truly appreciate it!
Ian. Leave him ALONE! He is sending his message to you by his LACK OF RESPONSE! Okay...maybe we're projecting, but that's all I'm going to say because you have really tapped into one of my own little peeves. Talk about complexes! Anyhoo...I'll have my first post for Male this week!
Corey, you are absolutely right. T. "Said Blogger" is sending me a message. While I'm not sure how to interpret that message, I'm gonna let it go. Like Wonder Man said, His loss..
My attitude has slightly changed too. Your sermon you sent and I'm also reading "Peaks and Valleys" by Spencer Johnson. Both very helpful. While I didn't get a response, which made me sad, today's sadness builds upon tomorrow's happiness.
So I just need to wish the blogger well, hold no malice, in fact wish him success in his own ventures, move on and do my own thing...
