No Road Map

2012-03-28T17:12:00.008-06:00

There is no road map to help you through life... you do the best you can with what you have, and make the best of each situation. You do what you can and hope for the best. There are many people who will tell you that you can't when it comes to doing something you want to do. What you've got to do is say, "watch me!"

Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon, I will be there. I will be there through your troubles and pain... lending a guiding hand and words of encouragement. I am your tear drops conceived in your heart... born in your eyes. I live on your cheeks and on your lips.

Hope

2012-03-28T16:56:00.000-06:00

In times of darkness there is still light.
Never give up, stand tall and fight.
Hold on to your courage and give it all you've got.
Never let anyone tell you what you are or what you are not.
Hold on to hope.
For if hope should ever die, life becomes a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
Build on your hope one day at a time though the road be steep and hard to climb.
The dark cloud will disappear and the morning sun will appear once again.
Brush aside negative thoughts.
Your life you continue well fought.
This is your life and you can make a new start.
Listen less to your brain and more to your heart.

She Cries

2012-03-28T16:50:00.002-06:00

Filled with sadness and pain,
she cries as he boards the train for that long goodbye.
Standing on the platform,
she watches with sadness in her eyes as he looks
her way through the train's window; she cries.
Leaving the salty sea air of that California coast town on that
eastbound train, he thinks of their wonderful life together
filled with laughter, joy and their love reign.
His hand pressed against the window, their eyes deeply locked,
with a tear running down his cheek, she cries.
They talk on the phone awaiting the train's departure,
drying their eyes and confessing their love for one another
as they have done many times before.
She anxiously waits his return, each day more painful;
a pain that never hides.
She cries.

News

2012-03-22T16:38:00.013-06:00

Just an update for you... Due to the economy getting worse in Denver, I moved my company headquarters and main business operations to Seattle. However, Brian Blackwell Investigations will still be operating in Denver and throughout Colorado. My associates and I will be continuing to maintain business operations in Colorado.

The new headquarters address is 12345 Lake City Way NE #224, Seattle, WA 98125-5401. Melbri LLC and Brian Blackwell Investigations is at both the Seattle address and Denver address. No solicitations please. I want to only receive mail from people not selling anything -- mail from anyone just wanting to say hi and talk.

The economy in Washington is much better than in Colorado and most other states. I lived in Washington during the 90s and had missed Puget Sound and the beautiful mountains and evergreens! I love Colorado, but the economy there kept getting worse with no signs of improvement, so I moved on.

Beautiful

2012-02-09T00:56:00.000-07:00

I would walk a thousand miles, just to see your beautiful smile.
Your love so pure and clear, always strong.
Your voice like a soft, inviting song.
Your skillful love, artful ways... so beautiful.
Everyday's a new day in love with you.
With each day, comes a new way of loving you.
Joined as one, our life, our love forever; sure to see me through any endeavor.
Forever end, our heart and soul will always blend.

Kisses so soft and sweet, everyday your love's a treat.
You've made my heart whole.

Love Bites

2012-02-04T15:00:00.002-07:00

Loving someone can be such a painful thing.
You put your life on hold; it makes your heart sing.
You pour your heart out and it gets broken; love lies spoken.
Love excites, love bites.
Your heart seems as though it won't mend.
You toss and turn in bed; thinking about every word he said.
Love excites, love bites.
You cry, it makes you so sad.
Your heart keeps sinking in your chest thinking of the love you had.
You feel so much sorrow; hoping it will be better tomorrow.
Love excites, love bites.
You pray that you will be able to love again,
but it's hard to lower the wall you've built around yourself.
Then love presents itself.
You say to yourself, I hope it will be; that they are the one for me.
But you know... that love excites and love bites.

Bloom

2012-01-30T02:24:00.000-07:00

You may live or work around a bunch of weeds,
but don’t let that stop you from blooming.
Realize that your environment does not prevent you from being happy and fulfilling your life's dreams, even when life becomes consuming.
Some spend all their time trying to pull up weeds.
Meanwhile, they miss much of their life.
Don’t worry about things you can’t change.
Stay focused and work through life's strife.
You can’t change the traffic in the morning.
You can’t fix everyone at work.
But you shouldn’t let that keep you from blooming.
Bloom anyway and focus on the things that you can change.
You can change your attitude.
Ignore others rude; stay strong through life's derange.
You can choose to bloom right where you are.

Love's Heat

2012-01-19T22:19:00.000-07:00

A teasing kiss from her intoxicating lips,

I look deep into her eyes as they hypnotize.
She gives herself to me.
Caressing oh so daring, I undress her inhibitions.
With my caring lips, I explore her while listening to her mesmerizing moans.
My fingers follow her avid contours, exploiting her body's love zones.
Savoring every moment, I satify the need in her as my mouth pleases all her senses.
She softly whispers in my ear that no other man has ever pleased her as I.
Breaking down all her defenses, I command her attention.
Her desire to comply as I enter her beauty.
True love and affection I've been searching for now at my feet.
A love we both desire. Our hearts on fire.
The world stands still as we bask in our love's heat.

Public Unions: Fiscal Destruction Of The U.S.

2012-01-18T15:37:00.001-07:00

There are a myriad of issues that need to be addressed in the United States: jobs, economy, taxes, illegal immigration. But the most important issue that needs to be addressed is public pension, salary and benefits reform.

Although the aforementioned issues are important, they won't have the collective fiscal improvement to the country that reining in the bloated pensions, salaries and benefits being received by government retirees and employees -- gained through strong-arming of politicians by public unions over the years -- across the country would garner.

U.S. Public Pensions At Nearly $210 Billion In 2011

2012-01-13T11:12:00.022-07:00

Did you know that in 2011 the U.S. government spent nearly $210 billion dollars on federal pensions? That's $210 billion dollars of taxpayer money for pensions to those who have worked in some level of the federal government. Isn't it time for them to start paying and contributing to their own pensions like the rest of us hard working Americans?

What's at stake is the collapse of our system of government. Federal employees were never supposed to live 'high on the hog.' Many federal employees receive a monthly payment of $5k or more (public record) when they retire. Many states across the country are suffering from the same fiscal problems (caused greatly by out of control state pensions) as the federal government.

Government pension plans are much more burdensome than public assistance programs. If federal and state pensions aren't reined in soon, the federal government and state governments won't be able to sustain themselves -- there won't be enough tax revenues to keep the lavish (as compared to most private pensions) public employee pensions going.

Christmas Love Always

2011-12-23T14:08:00.003-07:00

Christmas is a time of forgiving, a charitable time, a time for those with a closed heart to open it up freely, and a time for people to think of others as fellow passengers to the grave and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

Christmas is a time of love; a time to give love, to receive love. The greatest gift of life is love... and should be given joyfully and received gratefully at Christmas time and throughout the year.

Life is meant to be filled with love. The true happiness of life is love.. loving your significant other, loving your children, loving family, loving those around you.

Do you love?

Fewer Getting Married, Health Affects Of Marriage

2011-12-18T02:26:00.002-07:00

Fewer people are tying the knot, and when they do they tend to be older, says a report from the Pew Research Center.

Analyzing U.S. census data, the study finds that today 51% of all adults age 18 and older are married, compared with 72% in 1960. The average age for first-time brides and grooms is the highest it's ever been: 26.5 years old for brides and 28.7 for grooms.

The changing numbers could have to do with the fact that more people are living together, staying single or becoming single parents, all factors that are changing the landscape.

Several studies have found that marriage can have a substantial influence on various aspects of health and well-being, but no one is...

1 In 5 Women Have Been Raped

2011-12-18T00:40:00.006-07:00

Nearly 1 in 5 Women in U.S. Survey Say They Have Been Raped

An exhaustive government survey of rape and domestic violence released on Wednesday affirmed that sexual violence against women remains endemic in the United States and in some instances may be far more common than previously thought.

Nearly one in five women surveyed said they had been raped or had experienced an attempted rape at some point, and one in four reported having been beaten by an intimate partner. One in six women have been stalked, according to the report.

"That almost one in five women have been raped in their lifetime is very striking and, I think, will be surprising to a lot of people," said Linda C. Degutis, director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which conducted the survey...

The Real Herman Cain Scandal

2011-12-09T17:27:00.017-07:00

Ginger White and the other woman who recently made charges against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain have histories of making similar complaints against others that were proven to be false.

The same mainstream media that persecuted Herman Cain said in response to proven charges against Bill Clinton, as a candidate and president, "It's his private life. What he does in private is none of the public's business. Let's move on." Yet they couldn't move on from unproven charges against Herman Cain.

Some people think that because the National Restaurant Association reportedly paid $45,000 to one of its employees against Cain is incriminating.

Most people wouldn't part with $45,000 without serious reason. But that is completely different of an organization in the present litigious environment of the United States. An organization is glad to pay $45,000 instead of possible ruinous costs a jury could impose.

Ginger White

The real scandal of the case against Cain is that the law allows people to bring forth frivolous lawsuits and impose heavy costs on others at little or no cost to themselves. In other words, legal extortion.

Because our courts do not currently stick to the letter of the law, people who have zero basis for a lawsuit can create enough uncertainty and fear to extort money from people who cannot afford the risk of going to trial.

If judges threw frivolous lawsuits out of court instead of letting them go to trial, legal extortion would be nearly nonexistent. And if those who bring charges that do not stand up in court had to pay the other party to the lawsuit for their legal fees and time, these games could not go on.

ABC News reported that Ginger White, 46, has civil judgments and liens in Georgia and Kentucky against her that go back almost two decades – with 11 filed in 2009 and nine in 2011.

According to news reports, White is an unemployed single mother who's been divorced at least two times, who filed a sexual harassment claim against an employer 10 years ago. That case was settled, according to reports.

White is currently being sued by her former business partner Kimberly Vay, according to news reports, who claims she was stalked and harassed by White and was forced to seek a protective order against her. A court date has been set for January in the matter.

The female bodybuilder, who once ran a bicycle business with Ginger White and won a libel suit against her, says the Atlanta woman never mentioned the Republican presidential candidate, who White says was her lover for 13 years.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in June 2011, Ginger White and Kimberly Vay were partners in a fitness coaching business called No Limit Cycling, and held classes inside the Martin Luther King Recreation Center, which is owned by the City of Atlanta. In November 2010, claimed Vay, White asked to end their partnership, with White continuing to operate No Limit Cycling, and Vay agreed.

On December 9, according to the complaint, White sent a “defamatory” note to a master email list of the company’s clients and to city officials. The email said that White’s business had “come tumbling down [on] the day I invited Kim Vay into my life and my business” and that Vay had turned her “dream” into a “nightmare.”

According to the complaint, the email alleged that Vay, a competitive bodybuilder, injected veterinary drugs into her system prior to contests,” and also said that Vay preferred to date black men but had made derogatory comments about black women’s hair.

Vay’s complaint termed the allegation about drug use “false, malicious, defamatory” and “reckless,” and therefore libelous.

Both women retained attorneys, according to Vay’s account, and reached an out-of-court settlement in April 2011. In June, Vay filed suit, claiming that White had failed to live up to the settlement and that she was entitled to sue for libel. Vay’s attorney Kurt Martin told ABC News that White had failed to honor the financial agreement that had settled the case.

White has two children and was evicted from her Atlanta home in November. She had several eviction notices in DeKalb County, Ga., over the past six years.

Race played a role in the case against Herman Cain -- a combination of the stereotype that black men can't control their sexual urges and the racist fears of some people of black men having sex with white women -- referring to the allegations by Sharon Bialek -- but Cain's hopes of becoming the 2012 GOP candidate were mainly destroyed by politics.

Sharon Bialek

Bialek has made similar charges of inappropriate behavior, which were proven to be false, against other men as she did with Cain.

Bialek alleges that Cain, while president of the National Restaurant Association, sexually harassed her when she was employed with the organization. The National Restaurant Association settled out of court with Bialek for $45,000.

The persecution of Herman Cain has been mostly driven by the Democratic Party's fear over prominent black conservatives. A prominent black conservative such as Herman Cain is far more dangerous to the Democrats than an equally prominent white conservative.

The 90 percent black vote for Democrats is like money in the bank on Election Day. A self-made man such as Herman Cain , who offers an alternative view of the world is a serious threat politically to liberals and Democrats, because if that alternative view has the effect of reducing the black vote for Democrats, the Democrats would be in big trouble at election time.

To the mainstream media, which is predominantly liberal Democrat, a black conservative must be destroyed -- and character assassination is the fastest way to do it.

Brian Blackwell

---
Do women ever make false claims about sexual matters? It's more common than you might think. Studies show that false allegations are made about 20-40% of the time, depending on the study. These sorts of false accusations are usually made in order to get attention or money by appearing as an innocent victim, in order to get an alibi for something the woman has done wrong, or to get revenge on someone who has mistreated the woman.

Our life’s a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its
troubles patiently. ~ Palladas

Whatever you give to life, it gives you back.

Do not hate anybody.

The hatred which comes out from you will someday comeback to you.

Love others. And Love will comeback to you.

"The most beautiful people I have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

My Lady

2011-10-28T18:09:00.002-06:00

My lady is like the sun that warms me when I'm cold,
like the cool water of a flowing river that refreshes me.
My lady's love for me so bold and such a treasure,
making me feel so free.

My lady delights in fulfilling my secret pleasures.
My life filled with joy from her very presence.
My lady fills the heart of my soul with such warmth and
beauty that I will always treasure.
I am driven wild by her sweet essence.
My lady is the reason for every beat of my heart.
My lady's clutch, I felt like no other before.
I pray we stay together till death do us part.
Each moment feels like an eternity waiting for my lady's touch.
My lady's love and passion, I long for.
Inside my lady's flower, always satisifying each other.
Each never wanting another, our love never sour.
A true connection often never felt by two.
My lady... I love you.

Melody come to me from distant place, and fill my heart's desire.

Sweet music flowing from her lips as Melody speaks I admire.
A symphony of words and thought she brings.
Excitement builds upon crescendo's sound,
brought forth in tones to make my heart sing for all the
beauty and love that is named Melody.
A life is changed in just an instant's time, all darkness fled
before that brillaint sun that shines from spoken words
of softest rhyme and treasures of Melody.
Her beauty and love outshone that only few have seen and she lets known.
My heart glows because of all the beauty and love that is named Melody.
