Im'll Buy You a Drank...

So my Facebook status has been, "Charlene is thinking.... I don't want you to buy me a drink, I want to know if your credit is good enough to buy me a house. And because I've had so many co-signers and ladies to affirm the status, I thought we should dig a little deeper... lol. My friends have heard my reasoning.

So this new hit song, every man wants to buy a lady a "drank." Now lets put this into perspective. So... your at a club. Let's put a name on it, "Club Gitsome." Aight, and for my ladies, a young fine looking brother approaches you. He's sporting some nice attire, shows you his key ring, and my yes, it has a Lexus key chain. He's got on the Gucci glasses and yes, his fade is tight and fresh. He approaches you with a tinysmirk, and as he gets closer, he looks even better. He orders you a drink, and take it... it's your favorite, he's ordered a Mojito . He's got you all figured out.

Nice car [that you haven't even see with your own eyes, for all you know, he borrowed his dad's car to get it detailed the next day, or like most of our players for the night... it's a rental], nice clothes, nice glasses, nice clean fade, and he has all 32 of his teeth: no more no less.

So after this drink, here comes the infamous rush of lust. Do you proceed or say thank you, and call it a night. For some, a $7 drink is enough for a night of lust and heartbreak and a rollercoaster of emotions.

Now, lets rewind and set up a different scenario. The young man approaches, says good evening. Purchases a Mojito for you, and then proceeds to take out the deed for his $750,000 summer house. He asks your name, and proceeds to sign the house over to you. Look at that, you just acquired $750,007 in one night. In no way am I implying "gold-digger status," nor am I implying that $750,007 is enough for a night of lust, emotion, and maybe even a child.

Let me clarify my position before I hear about myself. I feel that a fire outside the confines of a fireplace, and in the middle of a living room floor is dangerous... and probably will burn down the house. And sex outside of the confines of marriage, is like that too. It's not that sex is bad, but outside of marriage and covenant, there's an unexpressed need for responsibility, there is confusion, and emotional ties, as well as leading to discontent, sexual compromise, self-loathing, and emotional brokenness.

I just wanted to share the thoughts that were going through my mind as I thought about the song....

Tip For the Ladies: Guard Your Heart.
