Losing my best friend

On Monday June 29, 2009, I lost my best friend since the 1st grade. Still numb to the reality of his absence, an empty void has been left in my heart. On a plane heading to Arkansas, I thought of the R. Kelly song " I Wish" and I immediately felt each word that was sung. Dandrick, my brother, my ace, my friend, I am yearning for one more day. I know God's plan was much bigger than yours and mines both, but I am not in a position of understanding as of yet. I am angry, not with God, but of the reality of you not being here with your closest friends and family. You were an impeccable friend with good judgment and character. A man chasing God's heart, a husband, father figure to many children, a leader, and a great son. A man is not only measured by his word, but also, by his action. I am here to tell the world that you will be truly missed. We were known as the best ball players in school. You were Magic Johnson; I was James Worthy. Our abilities as bball players was unbelieveable to many. We had dreams of playing professional ball and buying our parents homes, cars, etc...We dreamt big. I will never forget the unconditional friendship you gave me my boy. Your spirit and drive to be the helpmeet for others will forever live within me. My God and Savior, thank you for giving me 28 years of friendship from Dandrick Moton. Rest well my brother...til we meet again.

Time flies when you are having fun...months have passed...no book. All what it takes to produce a good book takes alooooooooot of work, time and energy. To be honest people, everyday I have a different perspective about the book, my writing skills, and if I am truly ready to be transparent about my ideals about love, relationships, and most of all, women. Some men measure their success by calculating how many women they can conquer; whereas, women want a man who is honest, sincere, endearing and have the ability to listen. Somewhere in between these important traits, I am lacking. I seek to be a better man. Just because I have a penis do not mean I was born to lead. I dont want to be just a leader, but a GREAT leader. Leadership begins with having the courage to be transparent about who you are...So when you get an email saying " Hooray, the book is complete!" you will know that my courage has manifested itself...
For now my friends, stay in my corner...

Godspeed for the year of 2009

Over the past couple of years, I have been relentlessly trying to live my life at my own pace-doing what is comfortable for me. As comfortable as I was becoming, things in my life were not getting accomplished. Though we live in the world, we do not have to do things of the world. I need to do things in order-Godspeed. I am...an intellectual introvert who battles with "disappointments" on a daily basis. Food for thoughts, huh? How about food for action? Speaking my mind is something that I can express through many medias. But, my actions, yes...my actions are my downfall because my actions never become to be. As the clock struck 12:00am and January 1st became official, flashes of all the promises, deadlines, job restraints, family, career choices wrapped their places in my heart...but there was still emptiness-a void. Hmmmm...I work everyday to earn a paycheck; I buy items of fashion to produce individual sex appeal; I write stories and poetry because it humbles my heart, but as much of a Christian man that I claim to be...I do not give God enough time. I make excuses. I do not make excuses when I have to report to work; I make sure to drive to mall to start to process of creating 'sex appeal'. God has done so much for me and I have done so little to praise, honor and worship him.
He is the king of all kings, the Lord of all Lords...when I think about the sacrifice that God has done for someone like me who sins on a daily basis...wow! I am still living and breathing when I know I was one of the Satan's puppets. Because of his grace and mercy and of his stripes, I am healed. Though we live in the world, we do not have to do things of the world. For 2009, I am striving to do things-Godspeed. I have a testimony...an unspoken one

There is nothing like listening to music from musical artists who create music that is rehabilitating to the mind, body and spirit.

If you havent heard of Gary Taylor, check him out @ www.morningcrew.com

I am not getting paid to promote and/or endorse his music, but I listen intensively to what artists are singing about nowadays and I question, Does love matter?

With my company Unspoken Thoughts, Love Matters. YOU Matter!

Coming Soon

Ever wonder why loving a man can be difficult at times?

Ever wonder what a man truly thinks about love? Could it be fear? Does being "scared" tarnish my manhood?

What would you sacrifice for love?

What is an Unspoken Thought?

As I count down the days 'til the official release of Love Fiction (11.28.2008), I was sitting in my bedroom thinking about a question that was asked. The question that was asked was "Jermon, why did you decide to name your business Unspoken Thoughts?" Hmmm...

What is an Unspoken Thought?

Hugging someone you love good-bye
A "just because" card
Kissing
Love between parents and their children
God's grace and mercy
Holding your first child

You see, I could go on and on, but I really want to hear from you, the reader....What is an Unspoken Thought?

I chose to name my writing company Unspoken Thoughts with the aim to describe the person that lies within me. Its those recluse feelings within that creates my words, actions, moods, and purpose. Love is something that is always spoken of, but never acted upon (I am describing me...lol).

Do you know that you are loved?
If a person never told you that he or she loved you, would you still believe, understand, desire or accept love for what it is created for?
Does it need to be spoken?

Tell me.

Wow...the book

I am learning "hands on" about what it takes to develop a book. This being my first published book through my company, I did not imagine the pressure, mental/physical stress and frustration that goes along with it. For example; Editing-I have revised the book so many times that I began to lose my drive for the book. I did not want to write, talk about the book, promote the book, finance the book all because every night I would sit in my room and do rewrite after rewrite.
Am I scared? Yes!!! So along with the time and effort, I am shaking in my boots (literally) hoping that I am doing God's work and not man's.
I will say to my readers that Love Fiction: A Journey Through Its Truths, does detail a man's battle between his flesh, the world, and wanting to live in the glory of the Lord.
No way could I put my entire life, both good and bad, my battles with love and hate, in a book as such, but I did create snapshots of important events in my life that allowed me to grow. Let me write that again: I did create snapshots of important events in my life that allowed me to grow.
As my growth as a man continues to mature, I am realizing that having love in my life is important in all aspects. But I do have my moments when I ask myself this very question: What is Love?
The book purpose is to answer that question, no holds barred.
