From the Mind of Alexander
I still recall the sadness in your eyes
Scared and confused, wounded by your lies
Still I see our picture in the frame
I loved you, but I never knew you
A relationship lost in shame
People always stare into my face
The ghost of a man lost in another place
A place he can never call a home
Inside, I have everyone, but still I'm so alone
So where does this leave me?
What is there to hold?
When a heat of love stops beating
And a man loses his soul?

The Kindness of Strangers
The kindness of strangers
Seems a strange
And unpredictable thing
To rely upon.
Shifting moods
and changing circumstances
Prevail.
The storm of rage
Floods with salty tears
And agonizing screams
From throughout the ages.
But after the storm passes
A ray of light pierces
The murky horizon.
I lift my head
To the sky.
Raindrops dapple
My upturned face.
A rainbow arcs across the sky -
The marriage of light and liquid.
The destruction of the storm
Is required in order to bring
Nature's art into creation.
Each hue runs distinctly
Through the sky
Since time immemorial
Its diverse unity
Has inspired the human
Heart and Spirit.
And I remember.
You are Here.
You are Me.
I am Here.
Now and Forever.
Thank you stranger.

End Post Topic
I'm gonna be very brief since no one seems to read this anymore. My last post below was getting into homeless habits I don't understand. I'm gonna comment on some things.
1. Why do hardcore homeless people wear shoes with their heel not in the shoe? If you ever noticed, some homeless people do not put their entire foot in the shoe. They put their foot halfway in & then press down on the back of the shoe with their foot. I can understand them having bad hygiene (not taking showers) because of their mental state. But I don't understand this shoe thing.
2. Why do 95% of homeless people like watching shows about people getting killed? I know the rest of the world likes shows like CSI, Cold Case, 48 Hours Mystery, etc. They can watch these shows ALL DAY LONG!!! Don't y'all start getting depressed after watching this? It would depress me to watch someone examine how someone else got killed. I had a dream one day on how I would fix the situation. I would stand in front of the TV and start taking votes. I would say, "everyone that likes murder movies & shows please stand up." The people would stand. Then I would say, "y'all like watching this all day? If so, keep standing." Only a few people would sit down but 95% of them would still be standing. Now I would say, "y'all people like watching other folks die huh?" Then I would pull a gun out my pants and start shooting everyone that is still standing. "How about you like watching yourself die?" That's my dream. To me, it's ok to watch 2 or 3 shows but not ALL DAY LONG!!! I would rather watch something like comedy, sports, or reality shows. Because it's positive and it puts you in a good mood. If y'all people are in a good mood watching murder stuff all day, something is wrong with you.
Ok. That covers it. I will not post anything else for a while until this blog starts gaining more popularity. That's it yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grammy Wrap-Up & Super Bowl Thoughts
Look who it is! The Jay man back tallying up his Grammy predictions. Also I will just share what I thought about the Super Bowl.
String of Posts 1/General Category: I was 3 for 4. The only one I got wrong was Record Of The Year. I found out Use Somebody stayed in the top 50 best-selling singles of 2009 ever since it debuted on the Billboard charts. That's 52 weeks of good sales. That's why they won.
String of Posts 2/Pop Category: I was 4 for 7. Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals I will comment on. I picked Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat. I had the right idea here but didn't have the info I needed. I didn't know that these two wrote 80% of Taylor Swift's Fearless. You can't write more than 40% on somebody's CD to win this category. The rest of my wrong categories I just flat out missed.
String of Posts 3/Rock-Music Video Category: I was a combined 3 for 9. I got all of the music category wrong. And I really don't listen to rock music so that's my excuse for doing so bad.
String of Posts 4/R&B Category: I was 6 for 8. This music fits my stereotype. That's why I did so good in predictions. I would have picked another one right if I wouldn't have tried to give Jamie Foxx credit in the best R&B song category.
String of Posts 5/Country Category: I was 5 for 7. I am suprised I did well here! I really don't listen to country music. Chalk this one up to Billboard chart research. The best country instrumental performance category was totally a coin flip that worked.
String of Posts 6/Rap Category: I was 1 for 5. BIG SHOCKER!!!! I claimed I had the best knowledge of this category. Guess not!! I feel I got robbed this category. Jay-Z & Eminem dominated here. I personally feel the reason why they dominated is because they were actually at the Grammys. They won everything because they were personally in attendance. Some of the people I picked were not at the Grammys. Eminem's Crack A Bottle won best rap performance by a group? I don't understand this because the song doesn't even have a video. (To make things worse, my favorite artist Kanye West wasn't at the Grammys) Oh Well!

SUPER BOWL
Congrats to the Saints. They took advantage of Manning's interception to score a defensive touchdown. It was Manning's only mistake the whole game. I was going for the Colts & lost money. Not mad though. The Saints didn't have a turnover & managed the game well. Good Super Bowl and the commercials were okay. My fav commercial was the one where the child slapped the grown man for liking his mother. Funny as hell.
Ok. next post will be about some homeless habits I find weird. Stay tuned to the Jay man for more of the realest conversations you will ever have!
