But yes, 4 posts have been deleted. If you're desperate to read them, read the comments on this post, that's where they are now. I took them down because while they may have been good for a laugh, they were taking this blog in a direction away from what we as the creators intended it for. I'm not trying to sound pompous, or falsely modest, but we just wanted an outlet to express ourselves. If it was going to be in verse, play, fiction, non-fiction, however these words were thrown on a page...well Vast said it best "Nomads off the dome, thoughts have no home, the page is ours to roam."
All this really started because of Bmoresharps latest post, which is a double edged sword I guess, because it's also the most activity we've seen since we lifted off. I'm glad y'all are commenting; we're writing this to express ourselves, but we'd love it if it inspired everybody else. We want that inspiration to be positive, however, so if you disagree with what's being written, don't post a knee jerk insult that's horribly misguided. If you even have to do that, how about adding your initials at the end, because we'd all much rather there be a healthy discourse rather than anonymous insults.
So we got our Spring cleaning out of the way, to channel my dude JD and Hieroglyphics - Let it be bright from here `til infinity.

don't write about what you don't know about. because i can call you out on the things that you shout. your judgments and morals i count, and do not amount to what the young men's christian association is about. so don't write about what you don't know about because one's private life is a sacred route not to be abused by some kid on a caffeine bout.
i spit hot fire.
anonymous
Slow down that parachute
your refute was cute...but sweetie i know how to execute, so before you persecute understand that that was a tribute of love to my neighbor of youth. 15 years of an across the street commute - i know her a little better than a substitute. So read again and recompute, this time don't dilute my absolute truth cuz you missed the root of my words like you missed the pronunciation of route. now salute.
lol it's all love tiana
but ask me first if you don't know what i meant about her
there was a purpose to the animosity to prove a point of secrecy of a figure known publicly in a city called poughkeepsie but yes it is T you see and i'm not trying to be showy but what was said i take seriously. no need to reread cause i have the skill of literacy and what i see is a beautiful intent gone sourly from hypocrisy and skewed factuality. your interpretation is a fallacy of this woman's identity which i won't divulge into because of something called PRIVACY.
hey you Mr HC, Mr. i'm gonna remove pictures from facebook so the faculty doesn't know i'm a drunky. because if someone of legitimacy sees these you are officially no longer considered a man of quality in the bullshit world judgment and authority making decree on things not comfortable publicly.
oh im sorry, did you not want this information to be written on the internet for the whole world to see? cause i know you are a person of morality and i don't want people to think YOU of differently. now how is my accuracy? because it is all out of love jd, however, truthfully instead of promoting equality you put a spotlight on someone who is dear to me highlighting her negatively in a poor attempt of your opposition of conventionality.
i don't mean to be snippy but honestly in our history when things hit me personally i become emotionally charged to rally. and that's it, i'm done, you wont get another entry out of me.
this blog has produced a lot of quality and i am proud of all of you, truly.
cheers,

I'm not even going to try and contain my frustration, or rhyme
Who are you to tell me that my "interpretation of her is a fallacy"? The person that I described is the person that I know, none of that information is heresay or assumations. I'm glad that she's dear to you, and that you take it personal when people speak about her. She is dear to me also, and I attempted to show the positive ways in which she affected/inspired me. Since I did not threaten or jeopardize her, for you to undermine my expression is out of line.
If you think that I did put some facet of her life in jeopardy, I think you should read it just one more time. I used tact in not publishing her name, and if I thought I was writing to an audience that could leave her vulnerable in any way, I would have used even vaguer descriptions. Both of these (using my name and considering my audience) are efforts that you were unable to make in your assessment of me.
And as to how accurate that assessment was? To be honest I'm disappointed that in 10+ years of friendship you don't know me well enough to know that I don't have much of a tolerance for living incongruent with my beliefs. Take a look at the title of this blog. Schemers and dreamers. Yea, I scheme - if I gotta keep certain things that I don't define myself by but others may on the DL to cop 8 g's then I'll do it (and to your reference, I exercise far more moderation than you) . But at the expense of something I hold dear to me; progress towards social justice - bet that I'd never sell out.
But for now, while we still gotta be dreamers of a world where your aforementioned "bullshit" critics don't exist - lets chill with using names and continue to share with eachother the stories of those people who haven't lived confined by the conventional world - apparently a woman who has helped us both to elevate.
