Turbulence!!! Pt. 4 “Hot Revolver”

“She Said Do You Have The Time? To listen to me Whine. She asking whose on the other line? You diss me every time.” -Lil’ Wayne “Hot Revolver”

Ever been admired so much, that the relationship could never work?

Or have you ever admired someone to a point of non-belief. It would be a nice feeling for someone to feel so strong for you that you could do no wrong, but is that what any of us really what? In some cases all of us are passive to some degree, but should we be blinded by love & infatuation so much that the other person feels crowded?

Do we actually wan to spend every free moment with a person? Relationships, both sexual and friendly are weird, we go into them pretending to have an understanding of what we want and expect only to change our own mind midway in the process.

When we aren’t interested in a person, we frown upon them for having so much “free time.” Usually a person loafing or lazing around is considered to be a loser. It’s only when we get with someone that the reason we most likely fell for them, we expect them to change. We can spend every minute together, but am I being productive to one day provide a better life for myself or better yet the both of us if we decide to take it there?

We all would love to be with someone of success, but most don’t want to travel that road with them to get it. No one wants to wake up at 30 and realize time wasted being love struck over a person with nothing to show for your young life. Love is wonderful, but why must love be complicated? Time and time again you hear people complaining about there “less” motivated mate, only to go get one with a lot on they plate to only complain about them having a lot on their plate?

When should love, work and being busy co-exist? Should we complain about a busy mate or should we ride with him/her into the sunrise?

 Turbulence!!! Pt. 3 “I Love, You Love, We Love”

“…Let’s go and try again, careful this time, broken promises linger in our mind.”

-John Legend “I Love, You Love”

To break up is to make up; relationships are like a soda machine you can’t just tip it over with one push, you have to rock it a few times. The first break up, no matter how bad the words are and what is said, the words never stick, we try and try again until that feeling of disgust comes in. We must fake our self out until we believe that we are over the person. 

“Won’t give in so easily, hearts break so easily.”-John Legend “I Love, You Love”

To further prove to our self that we no longer love, we recruit our friends to join in on the “why did I love that person” campaign. Your friends and your love life do not mix; they will give you horrible advice, only for you to later realize that their situation ain’t shit so why did I listen to them?  We go back and fourth with love because we want it to work so bad that we make it not work, crazy right? We push so much while the other is pulling, working so hard for each other that we work against each other.

We love, we hate, we lust, we despise and we regret only to love again. Each time saying they we’ll take it slow, but how can you slow things down with someone you love? Love has no gas pedal or breaks; it goes at its own speed. We love love because it feels so good to have it; it’s only when that love leaves us with a “love hangover” that we wish we never had it.

Choose love wisely, you can’t hide from it.

 Turbulence!!! Pt. 2 “808’s & Heartbreaks”

Say You Will

Welcome to Heartbreak

Paranoid

Robocop

Nightmare

****************

Side bar: This is NOT a critique of the album; I’m NOT campaigning to get you to like the album, just a way of connecting “real” life & “art” (music). Many of my blog series have to do with this album “the perils of success” can lead to “turbulence” questioning “dumb cupid.”

I can go on with every ‘series’ I have.

Take the message and not what is said. You do NOT need to be a fan of someone to agree with what they are saying.

****************

Life sometime imitates art, the recent release of Kanye West’s album “808’s & Heartbreak” is the best example to date of this, and its not everyday does an Artist push the envelope of what is “accepted.” Not many can deny what this CLASSIC album has to offer, dealing with “the perils of success” that lead to “turbulence” of a love life, even the super producer Kanye West deals with the problems of not just love relationships, but everyday relationships as well. It’s not a guide or is it a way to get through heartbreak; it’s just simply a sigh of relief to know that someone else may be going through it, both male and/or female.

“Say You Will”

“I wish this song will really come true, I admit I still fantasize about you.”

-Kanye West

Love can sometime feel like a illness, being the reason for a continuous heartbeat throughout the song. Love can put you in the heartbreak ER. Heartbreak is a crushing feeling; the only way to truly get over it is to go on about your life, but what if that person was your life? We put our selves in romantic situation where we depend so much on the other, that we force our own problems and insecurities on them.

“Welcome to Heartbreak”

“My friend showed me pictures of his kids, and all I could show was pictures of my crib, he said his daughter got a brand new report card & all I got was a brand new sports car.”

-Kanye West

Most often success won’t let allow you love, you can have everything in the world but it means not a damn thing without love. Success can sometimes lead to loneliness, assumptions that your life is perfect and/or your out of my league forces many to stay “eternally single.”

“Paranoid”

We all go through those insecure relationships where it be you or your mate that just can’t shake the feeling of being paranoid, like there is something more going on than it is. We create imaginary problems and the shadow of “this is too good to be true” sets in. But something that is too good to be true is false; it may not be that the person is “perfect” they may just be the perfect person for you.

“Robocop”

“Up late night like you on patrol, checking everything like I’m on parole.”

-Kanye West

Being paranoid can lead any insecure person to become a Robocop, which is defined as technology security guard. The email checker, the cell phone eagle, it’s a person that will not let that feeling of something’s wrong go. Most times it starts off light & easy, leading to more desperate measures. In relationships there are things that are built on trust then there are things that need to be trusted, never get involved until you’re ready to trust!

“Nightmare”

“I got the right to put up a fight, But not quite…And I might see you in my nightmare, but how did you get there, cuz we were once a fairy tale, but this is farewell.”

-Kanye West f/ Lil’ Wayne

Good relationships usually turn bad after insecurities & non-trust sets in, but it’s more of a feeling of “how did we get here?” Love is confusing, beautiful, feels good & hurts all in one emotion, it’s hard to get back to what it was once the love is lost & the honeymoon phase is OVER.

This album isn’t the first based on love & success, and the troubles that come with it, nor will it be the last, but not in a very long time have so many issues been gathered onto one piece of work. So are you ready to love? If so, then welcome to Heartbreak.

 Turbulence!!! Pt. 1 “Love Is Stronger Than Pride”

 “I Can’t Hate You, Though I Have Tried…I Still REALLY, REALLY Love You, Love Is Stronger Than Pride.”

-Sade “Love Is Stronger Than Pride”

Of all the accomplishments and success that life has to offer, the hardest and easiest thing to conquer is love. The most complicated of every emotion, you want to turn your back on it, but can’t. We break up, make up, scream I’m DONE, rip up pictures, delete emails, text, numbers, block ’em from EVERYTHING just to lead back to do it one more ‘gain.

Those fortunate to be in love or to have been know just the feeling, love hurts and it’s not until you’ve been in love that you realize it’s a pain worth having. Everything is different when your in love, your food taste better, breathing is different, you have a better outlook on things, love can all together change every aspect of life for you, from the most major things like the future and finances to looking at a bird fly across the damn park.

Many things can be turned off but your heart and love is not one of them, it’s the strongest feeling in the world. Your pride can try to hide it but your heart will pull the rug right up from under your ass. Breaking up is harder than murder; you would rather go blind than see them with another person. Your pride will simply not let love win, but your pride can never be as strong as love. So how do we differ the two, can they co-exist? In some way, yes, but would you really love that person if they didn’t make you both happy and mad?

Chris Rock once said “you haven’t been in love until you get that I wanna kill you feeling,” the emotion is strong that offing them seems a lot more easier than dealing with the heartbreak. Grief usually sets in like a bad tooth, out of no where you’re seemingly “good” relationship has turned bad, with bad leading to worst! The turbulence of what was seemingly good makes any person look for a way out.

It is hard to love a person you know you can’t be with, its even worst when after you call it quits you realize that despite the fact of you guys not being able to work that you still want to be with that person. There are no guides to love and with millions of songs about love and heartbreak, why do we continue to search for love? No one can tell or give you advice on how to love. The only thing to do is to stay true to your hurt and hopefully your pride will play along.
