Moments in Time with BLisB (B.lack L.ife is S.imply B.eautiful)

I decided she was the sneakiest feline roaming around down here. And I knew she felt she had waited too long for me to give her what she wanted... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

I wanted to warn him but I didn’t. I knew that he was street-smart and used to dealing with the snakes. But she was a snake with no rattle and no hiss. She strikes , but there’s no warning or clues. By the time a man finds out something is wrong, she has already injected too much poison in his system and he can no longer be saved. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

From what I knew about females, they don’t like to live a life without beauty and beautiful colors and surroundings... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

She knew now how to get the small victories without compromising her beliefs. She wore her Thobe today, covered her body, but not the niqah which concealed her face, all but her eyes. She pretended that she was saying something so nice. But in Arabic she pointed out to me, “ These people are so arrogant and ugly. They always assume so much.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

If he couldn’t even face down a rat, how could he challenge me? I spent my African summers with my grandfather living in the same realm with the lions. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

The museum was situated in what I refer to as a ‘White zone’...White zones are areas where I already know there won’t be many Black people, where I will be an obvious standout and an automatic suspect. It is very easy to get picked up in a White zone, because the authorities are all the time wondering what the fuck you are doing there and what the fuck do you want? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

I decided I’d go to the dojo and clear my head. No women to entice or seduce me there. No women to arouse and abandon me there. Nobody with the power to break my heart there. No time or space or possibilities of tears there. I could just choose one of the students there and fuck him up real good to release my disappointment while calling it training. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

When you...first met, you were boys. Now you are young men. There is a difference, you know. Boys play. Young men handle their business... Boys do things because they want to. Boys respond to impulse. Young men do things because they should. They are in the process of setting up to be responsible, to carry their weight. Are you young men listening? Are you understanding me? As you grow older, you have to weigh your decisions. Everything you do means something. Your actions all have a value. When you’re doing nothing, you are losing something valuable, either time or money or both. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

I didn’t know if this was a test. I never seen or read a chapter in the Holy Quran that taught a man how to deal with a situation like this. And how strong is a man supposed to be when even the Quran says in one or two places that men are weak... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support

After the first quarter, I had the whole schematic figured out. Based on Amir’s funny stories about his teammates, I pegged who didn’t like who, who was hogging,who was hating , and so on...them mf’s is embarrassing-Amir said. Never in my life...yeah but you the captain. You gotta provide the leadership. You conquering them guys instead of building them up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blisb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blisb/support
