Manly Monday

Check out this awesome post from Momof8! Where have all the men gone? I suppose these are the very things that made me start "Manly Monday" on my blog. I'm not saying none of these acts of manliness happen in my life ever. It is just great to know that such manly man do still exist. Nothing wrong with a woman having real expectations for the men in (and outside of) her life.

Common, originally Common Sense, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972). I love that he is a true lyricist. How can you not be with Dr. Maya Angelou as your mentor? It doesn't hurt that he is handsome, well dressed, down to earth, midwest native, and has some great female-friendly songs for the female fan base. He is the renaissance man transforming from underground, social conscious hip hop flows to on the big screen actor.

Discography:

• Can I Borrow A Dollar? (1992)
• Resurrection (1994)
• One Day It'll All Make Sense (1997)

This story has stayed with me:

While an F5 tornado hit Joplin, MO, a man by the name of Don Lansaw, was busy laying down his life for his wife. He literally covered his wife's body with his own. He was hit in the back by flying debris and died while saving her. What a real man has... SELFLESSNESS.

To me this speaks exactly to the heart of Ephesians 5:25-33, and 2 Timothy 1:7.

Vince Herbert and Tamar Braxton

Today I'm posting Vincent Herbert, husband to Tamar Braxton (sister to Toni Braxton), just for having to deal with Tamar's smart-mouth 24/7! Plus, he knows how to dress. Now, I don't know what the full dynamic of their relationship really is when the cameras aren't around, but, she definitely needs a mental makeover. That attitude of hers is over-the-top diva mode on The Braxton Family Values show on WE TV. I'm glad he can be direct with her when he needs to be. He says what is on his mind and then is able to just walk away without blowing up on her. These two could get a spin off show with all of that drama!
