I’m going to do something a little different with this post. I’m going to share a few tools that I use that make my life more productive, some you may use, some you may have seen, some you may have not. That’s right Mr.TramueL is a closet tech-nerd who cares about the ho-zone … excuse me, what I meant to write was the ozone, saving the dolphins and green peace, but it ain’t easy being green. “She” said you should share some of that information with me. I decided to share it with the world. That’s right folks the whole world.
Without further adieu …
Evernote-high-detail-256

Google-Voice-high-detail-64
Google Voice: Unfortunately this one is available by invite only but I thought I would mention it so you will be aware just in case someone says “Man I have two Google Voice invites but no one wants them.” Ladies throw yourself at this man!

Thank you!
Ten & A Half Things That Kill A Conversation Quickly
/
10. Things I don’t know anything about. (Translation: Things I would write in my “Things I give an Eff about notebook”) ☛ Them: “You going to the concert?” Me: “Oh! Who’s coming?” Them “Justin Beiber.” Me:
9. Bad Breath ☛ This is self-explanatory … you could stay and chat but you’re a man talking to another man, also it would be rude to throw-up in some(1)ne’s face.
8. A chatting chatty azz man ☛ I’m a man … “Ladies look at your man, now back at me, look at your man again, now back at me …” men get in and get out of conversations. If a dude lingers too long in the “I’ma boy” zone when he’s talking to another man. Look for me to start riding a horse backwards.
7. Repetition ☛ Every time I see you, you tell me the same thing. Go fall off a cliff so you’ll have some new stuff to talk about.
6. A long azz, on again off again engagement ☛ Face it “He’s just not that into you” and you’re never gonna get the deposit money back. Me: “Oh Ya’ll pushed it back until the Spring (again?) … well keep me posted! Listen, I have to go, gotta take Rocky to the Vet.” Her: “You don’t have a dog.” Me: 0_O
5. Conversations about Socialism ☛ Maybe I should listen … I mean with all your experience working the Frosty machine at Wendy’s. Unless you are a professor of History, Cultural Anthropology or Economics stop trying to kick knowledge son & go kick rocks.
4. Stop talking to me about the iPhone, iPad, iCar, iBoat ☛ *Deep Breath. Shots Fired. #pow #pow #pow* I don’t understand how I can admire a company soo much but hate them too. I won’t end the conversation, I’ll just provide tips on new apps that you should consider. Them: “I’m thirsty.” Me: “What? Your iPhone can’t turn the air into cool refreshing water? … There’s no app for that?”
3. Long Windedness ☛ Lil’ MrTramueL’s mother takes forever just to tell me that he needs some allergy medicine. Ms.Frenchie: “You remember the house where I grew up right? Me: “Yep. You’ve told me about it a million times … can you make the long story short? You know how you do.” Ms.Frenchie: “Oh. Okay … Well, we used to have a window in my old bedroom, and my mama would leave it up at night so that ….” Me: “Places phone on mute. Walks away.”
2. People with American names who talk /sound funny on the phone ☛ Don’t ya’ll dare judge me! You know what I’m talking about … you call Apple support and Bob answers but he sounds more like Madhav Kumar. *Dial Tone*
1. Carrying on side conversations ☛ Step away without a salutation or well wish and you get the dial tone. Your lil’ dyslexic child do that same stuff every time & you feed into it! I’ma man, I’m only going to be a minute *Pause* … tell lil’ Tommie to turn the book sideways and wait until you get off the phone.
0.5 (Number 3 Continues after 20 minutes) … *Comes back to phone* Ms.Frenchie:“ … the electrician had to install those three prong cords for the washing machine & the dryer …”
What drives you crazy on the phone? In person? At home … you get what I’m getting at! Answer the question!
Mr. “Give Up Conversation But Don’t Say Nothing” TramueL
*Disclaimer* Nothing wrong with working the frosty machine at Wendy’s. Somebody has to do it. Having an American name even though you have a thick azz accent. Lil’ Tommie really isn’t dyslexic, he’s special.

Needing To Be Needed

RE-POST! I posted this on Posterous a while ago, wanted to give the people something to step to. I'm coming back soon ~
My determination to always be at my best is typically magnified in most of my relationships granting me little rest. However when that phone call, e-mail or text message comes with those famous words "Hey, What you doing. Guess What?"
… I get all emotional (I'mma keep it short. I don't want another another feminine moment. I can't stand the smell of that night blooming jasmine.)
They picked me! They could have chosen anyone but they chose me! It feels good when I am able to impart my impractical wisdumb upon the earth.
Do as I say not as I do Be aware of your effect on others.
Do not exhaust yourself in pursuit of the latest trend.
Seek traditional values.
*Remember a house can not be united with it's brothers, sisters, mamas, daddies, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, boos, baby daddies, baby mamas, friend girls and friend guys divided. Now get out there and Unite!

I love my teeth!
/Dr. Oz Tip #7
Brushing is Not Enough
If you plan to spend your later years eating more than yogurt and applesauce, invest in some floss. No matter how thoroughly or long you brush your teeth, you're missing a good portion of their total surface. That's like washing one armpit after a workout. But the dangers of skipping floss go beyond hygiene: The bacteria that linger can increase your risk of heart disease. I use Reach Ultraclean floss, which stretches to glide between teeth.
Men's Health tip: For a bright smile, try this do-it-yourself whitening plan that will save you money.

I Must Be Butta, Cause I'm On A Roll
/
Not no parkay, not no margarine, strictly butta …
I’ve been on a journey and my mantra for Two Thousand Ten is “ Striving to create balance & harmony; Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally and Physically”
The moral and intellectual crisis of out time has not yet spared the true science of … I’m just playing. I’ve been reading, studying, analyzing, meditating & re-directing a lot of my energies and I’m in a place I haven’t been in a long time.
This post is simply affirmation to the Universe of (1)ne of life’s lessons learned. “Unattachment” - The release of need or expectation associated with a specific outcome.
We see & believe how a specific event or situation will work out and we become “attached” imagining it happening just as we envision. We try to duck & dive trying to force the circumstances to our advantage, but a four letter word beginning with L and ending in E (No, not that one) … Life has it’s own schedule. Unattachment doesn't mean that you’re not keeping it one hunid’, it means that you are managing your expectations. I know, I hear you saying “Give us an example Mr.TramueL!” Okay, okay … I want to be a rapper O_0 and it is normal for me to pursue those goals, the key to piece of mind is to hold on lightly to the image of me on a sold out stage ( ‘cause it’s tricky to rock a rhyme that’s right on time ) Unattachment happens when I’m not tied to the idea of being on a sold out stage, the reality is probably more like me on a karaoke stage. Things didn’t work out as planned but I’m more than able to let it go. {Lesson}
Drops Mic. Walks off stage snapping fingers spit'n mad fire son! … ♬ Well yo, ♫I funk like dat ,I'm fat like dat, I'm in like dat, ♪ I jazz like dat, I freak like dat, I zoom like dat,♫ I’m out ... I’m out.

Everyone seems to be going through some sort of love battle this week, it's in folks Blog post, conversations, & textersations ☚ That's a TramueLism Original.
Looking for love, Wanting love, Romantic Fulfillment ... ahhh! A four letter word beginning with L & ending in E
I have nothing of value to add ... it was just an observation.
This is from a previous post ...
"Maddening, exalting, thrilling and frustrating « The promise of “a four letter word beginning with L and ending in E” that’s right kids LOVE. I will no longer write this word out as it has caused so much confusion 2′day. Let’s call it “a four letter word beginning with L and ending in E” … anyway what was I saying ¿ Oh yeah a four letter word beginning with L and ending in E continues to drive folk into insanedness (ßrianism) trying to find the perfect partner. Here is something that The Merciless God of Perfection doesn’t want you to know » Perfection may not be worth the price, you are only human … relax."
Mr. "I think I need love ... too" TramueL
I Just Wanna Be, I Just Wanna Be Successful
/
So I have someone that has challenged me to question some of my claiming attitudes and Mr.TramueL’s observation is to beware of laying on expectations ‘cause self-fulfilling prophecies do come true. When I think something is witty & funny I’ll hold unto it for(E)ver and one of my most favoritest things to say or write is that “I subconsciously sabotage relationships around the fifth year …” now that started after my divorce, I don’t know my exact divorcessary date but it has been more than 8 years. People laugh or say “boy you soo crazy” when they hear it, but in a recent conversation that centered around self-esteem, respect & acceptance I asked the question; I said “Self. Why do you say such a thing?” Myself said “I’ont really know. Let me think about it and I’ll get back to you.” I said “Alright. Remember that I am always here if you need to talk or anything.”
This is what myself concluded. I don’t feel that I’m complete, there are things that I haven’t accomplished, dreams deferred. Consciously I want to do well and be successful, however the expectation is that others will see me as a disappointment. My inner critic is a nasty som beatch! Now ya’ll know I love me some me but it’s caused me to be on some ole’ compulsive need for self-approval type sh*t which makes me defensive, self-centered & stubborn so by that fifth year “she” probably wouldn't be able to put up with me anyway. I steal, I don’t get stole right? (Rhetorical)
Ms. Miz has a wonderful message about discovering who you are and your worth. Know your Worth T!his was right on time for me today. Along with my award winning conversation with MB (You’re both appreciated.)
How do you define success? What makes someone successful?
Live Well,

Push Me, Pull You
Beware of running away from problems.
After a textersation {I just coined this phrase … conversation through texting} with a good friend I’ve realized that I believe I know what other people want, but don’t really know what I need. My unspoken admiration for the folk that keep me grounded, sane & motivated is the reason for this post. They are a part of my life; some new, some old, some share my blood, some don’t, all-in-all they all are a part of my family, immediate and extended.
I shine when I serve others in some way and what I get back in return is far more beneficial to me than any 1ne of them can imagine. They bring me closer to capital {G}od’izzle, by desiring a closer relationship with HIM. They make me want to know more, thus inspiring me to read more & research more. They have taught me to be more honest. {Ya’ll know T!his is a struggle cause I enjoy story-telling and sometimes enjoy bending the truth} They inspire me to be a better father, brother, son & man. Last but not least, they’ve taught me to straighten out confusion or nothing will get done. I have some huge stones chasing me that I’ve now begun to face and stop running from.
I take in so much from my environment; T!his is one of the reasons why I tend to be indecisive, swinging between irrational and rational thoughts and feelings. It's pretty much something that takes place "upstairs" in my mind, although others are sure to see the struggle from time to time. I also have a tendency to misrepresent myself with what I say from time to time, but Mr.TramueL is a charming, if a little kooky, friend, father, brother, son & man.
Continue to Push Me & I’ll continue to Pull You.
In Gratitude,
You Want Me To Be Honest?

The other night one of my many twiends re-tweeted a tweet from one of their tweeps. {Say that real fast while hanging from a spinning chandelier} … anyway it stated that 1ne of the most important ways to make a four letter word beginning with L and ending in E {Love} work is learning how to communicate the complete truth ...
I have a mom, two sisters, three baby mamas, an ex-wife, a side chick, a “she” and a plethora of female friends who sit on my couch so I feel it’s okay for me to impart my impractical wisdumb on this topic.
“There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.” - Alfred North Whitehead
Science
There is no science. The problem starts with definitions. In order to maintain our self-image as unselfish and honest, we seem to have special definitions that help disguise the true state of affairs … of course, we are all honest. We just leave out a few facts, but we never lie! We would feel very uncomfortable with a definition of truth that disallows this type of behavior.
Folk will retort that the truth is often near impossible to define. And, that the whole truth can never be said. Indeed.
Situation
Any. But let’s take something as simple or as complex, depending on your perspective, as telling your significant other that you actually had 30 sexual partners before them. If your partner told you such a truth after first having told the untruth, how would you react? If your partner told you such a truth, without ever having told the untruth, how would you react? Would you insist that your partner answer such a question to you? Would you want to hear the truth or would you rather not know? Would you want him/her to lie to you?How would you estimate the chance that she/he will find out the lie? How BIG a lie do you think this is if you did it? if a partner did it?
Summary
Communicate the complete truth? Nah kid … Men & Women use dishonesty to enhance those features that are most desired by the opposite sex. Men, for example, lie about commitment, honesty and resources.
What do people really mean by honesty in a partner? That we tell the truth about our flabby bellies? Or that we tell the truth about our desire for our boo’s friend?
Can you be completely honest with each other? Something doesn’t make sense.
Define Your Role
/Super Mr.TramueL is back!
Don’t worry mere mortals … I use my powers for good not evil.
{{{Evil Voice Laugh}}} mwahahaha
Over the last three weeks there have been several missions that needed my impractical wisdumb so I dawned & sealed my protective mask, pulled up my tights, threw on my cape and flew in to save the day! Two friendgurlz situations immortalized in this post. No names were used (only pronouns) to protect the downtrodden.
Mission Improbable
Boy meets girl, boy & girl fall in love, boy & girl make plans to marry, boy & girl move in together … boy & girl now start to question a few things. They feel silly talking about “a few things” with others because they are so small in comparison with real sh*t men & women go through. But therein lies the problem, the small things can be such a HUGE drain emotionally. One wants kids the other doesn’t. One wants to buy a condo the other wants a house. One folds the towels in half the other in half, then in half again. Are you serious Mr.TramueL ... towels? Yes towels … Her: “My grandma taught me how to fold towels and that’s the way I’ve always done it.” Him: “Your grandma was wrong.” *Side note* When he woke up from “her” knockout blow he was asked did he know where he was, he replied “… at my mama’s house.”
If you are raised, grow up observing or taught to do things a certain way it becomes embedded in you, second nature and we tend not to challenge our thought process assuming that our outlook is shared by our significant other, especially after you’ve played with each other horizontally.
The learned behavior in men, whether taught or observed, is to be the head of the house and by that authority the woman should be submissive to his will. When that will is challenged he will seek other ways to gain what he perceives as control.
The “un”learned behavior in women, whether taught or observed, is that of independence and self reliance. When that independence is challenged or she is made to feel inferior she will tell everybody that will listen she will seek other ways to feel empowered.
“She” called to ask for help or rather needed confirmation that her point of view was correct. She believes that because she makes more money than her husband, she shouldn’t have to answer to him and that all decisions should run through her. “She” said everyone else responded with the “compromise” and “ya’ll should make decisions as a team” nonsense. Well I’m the referee and I’m throwing the flag … bullsh*t. Even on a team there is a coach that draws up the last play with instructions on how to win. Compromise, a concept of finding agreement through communication, through a mutual acceptance of terms, often involving variations from an original goal or desire … bullsh*t, someone always gets their way. What is the compromise between someone wanting children & someone not wanting children?
Someone has to lead; I don’t care who as long as its not about money, power or control. Have a conversation; connect emotion and intellect, look for thoughtfulness in love and be open to the other point of view.
Do As I Say Not As I Do
Don’t be afraid to take the lead. Direction is needed – you may have to supply it. Strengthen your will to avoid indecision.
Independence of Action
/
Fear of losing independence may actually be fear of getting close
Be as honest as possible.
Don't take too much for granted.
Try harder not to hang on too tight.
