This post is somewhat hard for me to write. At this time I am feeling the need to cry. Since I have no one close to me now to express this to I will express in words.
At this time I have a extremely close member of my family going through a rough stretch of reality with a devastating disease. Anyone who knows me knows that once your close to me your in my heart forever. This comes about because I grew up with such a small family and that need of having a larger dynamic.
We have been dealing with this event for a while now and things seem to have turned the corner. Thank GOD for that which ever God you subscribe to. Everyday I have this person in thoughts because I love them as much as I love my mother. I could never look at this person in an ill light. Their offspring I consider siblings.
This person had to go out of town/country for treatment and it has recently come to my attention that they were able to receive direct communication while away. This comes as a shock to me because I would never have thought once they were where they are this was possible. The other shocking thing was that no one close to me felt the need to let me know this. I spoke to people on this situation and they gave me the generic answers leading me to believe everything is on the upward climb to recovery and no need to worry. Now I never blame anyone for my mistakes and i take full responsibility if this person was hurt by not hearing from me since they heard from everyone else. Yes I should of asked or even dug deeper into the situation and for that I am sorry.
What does hurt me the most is this person who I have loved at times more than myself was in a air of belief that I did not care and that I hurt them more so than ever before. To know this person so close to me feels like I forgot them is crazy. And no one could back me up, not that they need to, or express the shame I feel right now.
I have called them prior to me writing this post and we said we love each other and the forgiveness is there but I cant forgive myself as of now. So I write this wish and hoping when this person comes back that when I see them and look into their eyes the love they have always had for me is still there. Because if they look at me and I feel a change I just don't know if the same Robert Fortune will be present anymore...

Now I'm the kind of guy that goes with the flow and sees things as they are.
So I write this post as I am at work and involves a person at my job. Now I'm all for some good natured flirting and such since I am single. But should the women on the other side of this transaction be partaking???
Now everyone knows what goes down in the minds of men but what they don't know is what goes down in the minds of women is so much worse.
There is a particular woman at my job who I am attracted to you and certain she is attracted to me. This woman is currently in a relationship. I have met her boyfriend (He doesn't like me for good reason). She tells me when things go wrong and right with him. Guess I'm a her shoulder to lean on. Now that said I have told her what my intentions with her are. She has said she is not looking for that but continues to call me her Sexy Chocolate. We hug we hold we...
Now if her boyfriend got wind of this dude would flip out but it wouldn't bother me cuz I owe him nothing. The only problem is she would blame me and our work relationship would suffer. Not to mention as i said before she confides in me, she does not trust her boyfriend what so ever. Now should she change her relationship with me or him cuz its obvious she does not like him as much she says she does.
Now I think she dates this guy just cuz he was the guy to give her attention at the time and once a chick makes you her man she will do whatever it takes to make that relationship work. Women naturally don't like break ups. They avoid it like the plague. Which is why women continue to date men who cheat on them, beat them & use them. Well the naive ones at least.
So should she change the way we interact or should she continue the hypocrisy of complaining to me bout her BF but allow me to get closer and closer to my goal?

Keep Ya Head Up

So Saturday Was The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival (See previous post). During that event the marketing company I work with planned a panel discussion for youths interested in the entertainment industry (See 2 posts ago).
Anyway this was a plan we had for a while now and we had everything set up to go with this extraordinary opportunity. We had panelists, people immersed in the business that knows the ins and outs, we had giveaways and a venue. All we didn't have was the support of certain colleagues.
We get there and people act like they didn't know what was going on, if we were coming, where to put us, told us they sent us plans that were never sent, etc.
Needless to say very upsetting. So we hold out as long as we can but it just wouldn't be a good look for the kids panelists and especially the company (gotta keep your image crisp). In the end we call it off.
So you would think the organizers would help us out with a lil' VIP service or just some views from backstage so we can network. But no we were treated like just regular guests. No one is looking for a hand out but don't tell me you got me then avoid me all day.
All in all the festival was a good look. Blacks, whites, Hispanics all together. Families enjoying themselves. Very beautiful.
But looks are deceiving especially when you know what goes on behind the scenes. Look out for the next Minds Behind The Music coming real soon...

BHP: Minds Behind The Music Summit

http://theimgway.com/mindsbehindthemusic/
I'm very proud to be helping out on this project.
Imperial Marketing Group in partnership with Brooklyn Bodega is excited to host the first annual “Minds Behind the Music Summit” at the 5th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival on Saturday, June 20th at Empire Fulton Ferry State Park in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
To protect the integrity of and ensure the continued profitability and success of Hip Hop and music in general, it is up to those who have already succeeded to help usher in the next generation of successful industry professionals. Yes the art form is at the end of the day the most important element but without the many masterminds behind the music, this business wouldn’t exist.
"Minds behind the Music" will take place during Brooklyn Hip-Hop Family Day from 1-4 PM and provide attendees with insider tips and advice from industry professionals on how to pursue a career in the music and entertainment industries within various fields such as marketing, publicity, music production, journalism and more.
We basically are targeting HS students/College FRSH and Sophs who wanna get started/learn more about the entertainment indsutry but all are welcome.
Much Love

My official 1st blog but I cant take credit off the bat for the subject (Disclaimer. Once again shouts out to the kid 100K.)
As you know Tuesday was the Press Party for the Minds Behind The Music Summit for Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, respect to Deity Lounge, IMG and all that went into that. Make sure you come and support on Saturday.
But anyway, I was talking to a good friend and he put me on to a situation that arose between a girl I had been interested in for a lil while. He let me know that a convo came up re: a convo she & I shared through text. This will explain why you get both sides to a story at the same time.
So here is the back story: I met shorty through a work colleague and thought she was cute. She obviously thought I was cute so we hit it off a lil, exchange of numbers nuttin to big. Text here a text there then we met up at an event we were working and flirting ensued. On our way home we had convo re: can we link up, she tell me she can cook (Need dat good food ladies), she's Haitian like myself good talk.
Time goes by and I hit her up re: my food. She tell me she made some but there's no mo she got me next time. Fine.
Time goes by we see each other again at another event. More flirting, I don't really pay it no mind cuz I do dat like its my 1st language. (ask my ex)
During that week I hit her up seeing if she wanna chill. Here comes the disconnect- I say lets meet up and chill so I can get to know you before I invest anymore wasted time. Obviously I live alone so I suggest my place. Like most women she assumes I want to fuck her. Fine. Honestly I would have tried but I did wanna get to know her cuz my colleague put me on to her so how it look I just hit then quit. She catches an attitude and says I'm like every other guy so I'm like cool.
To wind this down I tell lil miss I ain't taking her nowhere cuz she ain't worth it at this time. Weeks later at the aforementioned event I speak to my man and comes to find out she running off at the mouth making it seem like I'm fucked up, just trying to beat, he so rude. She bad mouthing me to my colleagues and shit. Why do I have to take you out, why waste my time on something that might not happen long term? I'm not 1 for dating, like my other man said that night "Its like we have to pay for woman's company. Me alone ain't good enuff I gotta bring currency!"
That ain't cool. If we have an issue take it up wit me and we can handle it. But lil does she know her complaints were falling on deaf ears cuz my people know me and just seemed lame.
Question though:
What if she was taking seriously? My rep would be tarnished. There's dat nigga Rob just wanna beat, he got nothing else to do. He corny.
What if I miss out on someone true cuz she cant take honesty? I would be thoroughly disappointed.
Honestly people as my blogs increase you gonna realize I'm just a regular dude who like to eliminate the BS and give it to you how it is.
Sad thing is though, I was really feeling shorty..... oh well til next time

Honesty is the best policy so wit no further stalling...
