Readers: Guess who spoke this poetry. Just guess…
🙂
TEACHING TIEMPO!
What is more important to you? Manners or honesty?
Are they mutually exclusive?
“My body is a temple, and YOU don’t have a recommend.”
Another phrase twist with a specific Mormon flare. But I ain’t diggin’ this one. It seems too sexual, too arrogant, too exclusionary (particularly in relation to LDS temples) and too literal. I believe in chastity, but don’t think we need to talk about it in a suggestive way, know what I’m sayin’? There’s gotta be a way to express our views on modesty/virtue WITHOUT doing that kind of thing.
The English teacher in me has to ask, “Do you agree. Why or why not?”
PS. I suppose this post is a bit hypocritical since I DID write one comparing Mormon temples to sex/chastity. But it’s more classy, I think 🙂

If I had a nickel for every time I heard this phrase (or something along those lines), I wouldn’t even care about the fortune I plan on making from this blog 🙂 No but seriously, I’ve given this idea some real thought. And here’s what I’ve come up with: I do not mean to be a walking song. I can see how my near constant lyrical references could come off as being trite or cliche, not to mention potentially annoying. It’s just that if someone has already found the words that perfectly express what you are feeling, why would you try to find new ones? Economy of thought, people! Plus you can still be creative and original by borrowing art. Moulin Rouge, anyone?

True story. Probz should have actually cleaned myself up a little, huh? Oh well. Ya’ll know I’m beautiful, even if not everyday. But I digress. This kid Oba is the real deal.
And boy can break it DOWN!
This stuff is good enough to be on the radio. Too good. Puts Chris Brown and Jason DeRulo to shame. This song is another literary gem, teachers. Can you believe this kid is giving up music for 2 years to go on an LDS mission? Now THAT’S dedication. You know homeboy will be winning Grammys in no time when he gets back. Oba if you ask really nice, I GUESS I’ll be your date although it’s such a terrible bother to get a pretty dress and have your makeup and hair all done up and stuff….. 🙂
Gender confusion?
And he liked some of my Natasha mash-up ideas. DON’T HATE THAT!

THEY BOTH ARE FINGERS!
And sometimes, Tyler kills 2 birds with 1 stone….
by putting his ring on the bird. See what I did there?

Seems like a picture of nothing, right?
Wrong. Look a little closer,
see the symbols,
and ponder all they represent.
