Here We Go

I've been meaning to start one of these things for a while. I think it'd be fun to really let everyone know what's on my mind and maybe even get some feedback. We'll see where it goes.

So how bout Rihanna on 20/20 the other night? I was on Twitter the other day (follow me btw twitter.com/king_gordon) and one of the "Trending Topics" was something about Rihanna's forehead. This anger me for two reasons. Number one, I looove Rihanna. It's like my dream to meet her. Number two, it was triggered by her tell all interview. An interview that wasn't meant deface Chris Brown anymore than he has been, but to tell her side of the story. A lot of people had comments downplaying the legitimacy of her story. Those people kind of made me sick to be frank. I don't think it's appropriate to mock this kind of situation when it actually happens to a person, celebrity or not.

Then there were the people saying, "This happens everyday to someone. Why is she so important?". Of course everyones going to care about when it happens to Rihanna, she's famous throughout the world. Everybody was in her business when things were good, they're certainly going to be there when things are bad. Her situation is no more important than any other domestic violence case, it's just "high profile". There's something to learn from her and Chris Brown. She said it in her interview, " Don't let yourself become blinded by love. Be able to look at it from third person". Simply meaning, if you're in a bad relationship, the best thing to do is to look at it from a point of view other than your own. That's the only way you can make a good decision. Ladies, if a man abuses you he doesn't truly love you.

As a man, I could never ever hit a woman. I owe my life to women. My mother, grandmother, aunts, sisters, cousins have all surrounded me since birth. There are 3 other men in this family other than me. One thing we were unintentionally taught was respect for women. How could we not? I love the women in my family with all my heart. If a man were to ever lay a finger on any of them, that man will have Hell to pay. Hell in the form of this 6'2'', 200lb manchild. So guys before you ever even think about hitting a woman, think that she is someone's daughter, sister, or cousin. Then think about your sister, cousins, and your mother. What would they say? How would they feel? Hands to yourselves guys. I love Chris Brown and all but he has no excuse. Everyone makes mistakes though and I can say I've forgiven him but he's got many dues left to pay. Good luck to him in those endeavors and I hope his judgement is much better in the future.

Hope I did okay on this first one. Goodnight world.
