Venting from the outside… 100K
Sup ya’ll. Its ya boy 100K. Corey asked me to give a few thoughts on my dealings with women I meet and the mindset I approach women with. Here goes:
Well off top, I’m 23 and single. I love being single. Its only of my favorite things in the world besides music and playing Scrabble. I kid, I kid. But really, its more of a time for me to experience myself and what makes me tick. With that said, I’ll talk about my some of my personal experiences with women I’ve dated. I aint gonna be single forever so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts…
The last few women I’ve dated…the individual experiences ranged from challenging (which I respected) to downright annoying. I’ve dealt with a lot of BS in my seven years of dating: women with boyfriends wanting me, women with previous STD infections (I take sexual health extremely serious. I’m clean BTW.), past issues, you name it. I’m not gonna put ALL my business out there, but these situations were taken as growth opportunities. Here’s how I get down.
1. I look at what a woman brings to the table besides looks-in terms of assets/liabilities. Is she in school or working? Is she an alpha female? What do you enjoy about her? It may sound harsh but I’ve had to put women in the friendzone or just cut them off completely because I knew nothing good would come out of dealing with them. And when I cut a loss, I cut a loss. No Facebook, Twitter, phone calls, nothing. I’m not perfect and I have flaws, but there’s just something I don’t even bother with (ie mind games, girls already in relationships, hoes trying to be good girls, etc)
2. Treat women as individual cases. Everyone aint the same and it is unfair to categorize. That person’s issues are relative to them. And you know what they say: if you keep attracting the same type, it’s something about you. The women you date are a reflection of you, and I’ve learned that its better to stand alone with a good rep than to be with someone sharing a bad one. There was a time when I was just meeting all types of women with fucked up issues, so I fell back and redeveloped my game plan. Now, the caliber of women I usually meet are better because I’m better. I’ll go as far as to say that women feel off of your male leadership skills so get yourself right, then holla.
3. Don’t be scared to speak your piece, You should be tactful while doing this. You don’t want to be this bulldozing asshole and, ultimately, it is a female’s RIGHT to choose to be with you. But a lot of guys salt themselves out of a potential situation with a female because they don’t express their intentions upfront. If you like her, fuck it. Go for it.
4. Get a solid platonic female friend. A platonic female friend is good because they can usually tell you about the girl(s) you date and you can pick their brains about how to relate to females. You aint gonna sleep with every female you meet. I hope I’m not the first person who’s told you that either.
5. HONESTY. A female must respect you for you to even have a semblance of a functional relationship. For her to respect you, you must show that you’re worthy of it. If you don’t want a relationship, let it be known. If you wanna take it slow, same thing. A lie only has so long till it gets exposed. If you have to lie to a female for some ass, its a deficiency in YOUR game.
6. Last but not least, loyalty. If you’re single, play the game responsibly. Be honest and all. But if you’re in a committed relationship, hang up your jersey. Its not fair to her to have to deal with infidelity on your end. If that’s the case, at least have the decency to break up and then do whatever you want. I value loyalty and honestly above anything else.
It may not be what your momma told you about females, but if you’re gonna do something, might as well do it right. Its been a blast ya’ll.

.. Crossing over the thin line
There’s this thin line between love and hate, the border between insanity and sanity, which leads me to believe that there’s truly NO in between.
In this mild rant(organized chaos), I’m going to speak on a lot if issues and try to connect them all under one broad theme, “the thin line”.
Before I dive into this broad subject-matter, do not be offended if it does not pertain to you.
Women, can’t live with them, can’t live without them, which is unfortunately the reality of the situation. Men, well we’re stuck attempting to find the balance between that insanity and insanity, puzzled as to how to deal with it.
Every individual is made differently, but there are certain instances where we do fall into generalities. Often, we find that we get disturbed by individual flaws(granted, it’s how you perceive them). A large majority of our generation seems to not embrace that individuality, which makes us stand out. I’ll allow myself, for this instance, to speak on the matter of women not embracing it.
I’ve been quite puzzled as to why ladies are so concerned with others that they forget who they are. There’s a thin line between wanting to appreciate others and loving yourself. We, as people, cannot expect others to fulfill the love that we SHOULD have for the person we see in the mirror. The increasing insecurity theme with women is in large part due to the sex crazed generation we have now. I understand the faults of a lot of males these days in their lost touch with the idea that is chivalry.
Brief statement – Jealousy is not love.
Jealousy will not earn you anymore respect than insecurity will.
Back to what I was saying…
Many men and women are now judged by appearance, in some cases, rightfully so. By that judgement, those who do indeed judge, we are already moving entirely too quick. The idea of getting to know a person before you make a commitment has become close to extinct. Please excuse me for interjecting my own own experiences as I speak to you.
I’ve talked with ladies who felt as though me “getting to know them” was far too slow, so to speak. I had to ask myself whether it was right for me to even slow things down in the first place. After long thought, it was in my better judgement to do so. It seems as though today relationships just move extremely too quickly from the beginning, which leads to quicker failure. I really would love see everyone’s point as to why there should be a balance of speed, but if you happened to read my blog before, you’d notice that I firmly believe that there is a severe lack of communication. My instincts tell me to not speak with females in the sense that I’m attempting tto become their lifetime companion, but that’s just my instinct.. at the moment.
Reality does teach many lessons, day to day, and we must take from the knowledge of those days past. Understanding the problems that we face today are not as complicated as most would think, they just are not being approached correctly. So, for me to consistently come upon women who are in themselves insecure, just seems like a daily routine. Personally, I believe that insecurity is far too vast and far too unattractive. Men are quite a bit more simple. We do have emotions, yet we often hide them behind our egos. The physical requirement in a relationship seems to overshadow the feelings that we actually have. Just being frank, it’s become too easy to gain that physical touch as compared to gaining entrance to the emotions of a love/friendship interest.
I’ll leave it at that, for now

Sometimes in life, you just get extremely bogged down. In the sense that every plan that you set, gets overshadowed by an array of situations that just “pop up”. It is definitely not enough time in the day to accomplish everything you would like to, but I’d really like to send a big “Thank You” to daylight savings’ time. The day just grows longer with less light haha. We’ve been away for a while because so many things just happen and honestly, I wish I could spend more time sharing our thoughts with you.
For now, I’ll just appreciate the time that is given and continue to strive for the best. People, don’t let yourself get so tied down that you forget to have fun in life, take some time and just relax for a change.

..New Flava in ya Ear
Louchiano
The track is one of many to come but basically I felt as if just being another artist raping over a instrumental wasn’t something that would work in my favor or be something that people would be excited to hear or even want to listen to. So I decided that would I put my on personal twist on songs and mix them with other songs to make some original. Hopefully by blending instrumentals with my lyrics it will help build up a buzz so I can drop my next album entitled
“The Promise“.

Quote of the Day
Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly. – Plato
Just take the high road
Take the high road.
How many times have you heard that line? – > A lot, I know.
It seems to be present in every situation that arises though. If I can’t decide on which path to take, I take the highroad, logical and conservative at the same time. Besides, it never hurts to play it safe, right?
As a matter of fact, it does, at times. You play it safe and risk the chance of missing out on an opportunity. Scared to jump, believe that there’s nothing to fall back on and catch you. You think, not only for yourself, but for those around you. Yet, you know that you only live once. You can act now or never, which is the choice we make everyday over and over again. Shall we stop here or keep going?
My message to you is that there’s a STOP behind every corner. You can watch traffic or you can make that move and go into traffic, but you could also lose sitting at the stopsign. The clock steadily ticks, while we steadily wait, but for what?

Quote of the Day
A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem. – Albert Einstein
…Think on it
It’s so hard not to act wreckless…
There’s a time and place for everything, right?
I didn’t even watch the VMA’s and heard about it right when it happened. IT, being the stunt that KanYe West pulled on Taylor Swift, but it’s just another fiasco added to Kanye’s long list of media blunders.
Let make me one bold statement – I cannot hate the man for doing it, but I can’t condone it either.
We know what to expect from Mr.West and we can’t expect him to wake because he is who is he is, allowing for the phrase, “everything I’m not, made me everything I am” to ring even more true.
Seems like Kanye’s back to his old self, which could be good or bad for his image/music. If you really think about the artists who were GREAT in their own right, they all had their faults outside of the music and that’s what distinguished them so much. You can’t judge a person by their cover, better yet WE can’t judge people period. The acts we commit distinguish our legacy on Earth whether they were in good taste or piss poor in judgement.
Sometimes it’s hard for one to control their emotions in the heat of the moment. Not many of us are blessed with the calm and level headed trait, it’s understood. We do have the freedom of speech, do we not? Yes, they do say there’s a time and place for EVERYTHING, but that time and place isn’t always guranteed, correct? Your opinion makes you as an individual, different from others, BUT we do not always get placed upon a pedestal where we’re heard. The blunt speak for the silent and the silent listen for the deaf, it’s only right.
Take a minute to think of some of the things you’ve done in life and realize that not everyone’s character is perfect, we all have work to do.
So if you’re hoping for Mr.West to change any after this situation.
Don’t worry, he’s already said, “you can’t tell me nothing“.

A look into the mind of a blogger..
So what’s the name of your blog and how did obtain that name?
- The name of my blog is ‘I Am One Ten’ (www.iamoneten.com) and I obtained this name because about 4 years ago, I joined a group (shouts to F1) and was given the name One Ten. I was adorned this name because it was said that I give 110% in everything I do. I give THAT much effort. And when I first started a blog, I knew it was going to be about how I viewed things, so I figured, why not just rock with ‘I Am One Ten.’
How long have you been blogging?
- Come August, my blog will have been up for 1 year exactly man, and I’m just excited because I’m hitting everyone w/ a new layout, new everything….it’s going to be uber-dope! And hopefully by then I will have closed in on over 100,000 hits.
During the NBA finals, did you watch the game or blog?
- Real talk, with regards to the NBA Finals, I said I wasn’t going to watch them if Cleveland lost. I’m not even a Cavs fan really (I rock w/ my hometown Pistons) but I do love LeBron (pause) and I think the Cavs are a better match-up against the Lakers than the Magic are. Plus I’d rather stay on my grind w/ my blog anyway then watch Kobe destroy Orlando and win this series in 5 games.
What the inspiration behind your start in blogging?
- What inspired me to start blogging was that I have a nice following of people that were telling me they’d support me and I should start putting things that I liked into some form of art (music, blogging, etc.) and I decided since I’m always on the computer, I’m going to rock w/ it that way.
How do you think YOUR blog differs from the many blogs in the worldwide web?
- I think my blog differs because I’m different myself. You can’t put me into a category or a box and neither can you do that w/ my blog. A lot of people have blogs and they’re put into a category and a box, and all they do, real talk, is just post what everyone else posts. With me, you’ll get the sneaker-head side, the luxury-Forbesish side, the geek side, the hood side, everything…and that’s rare to find a blog or a person that’s a conglomerate within itself/himself.
What do you plan to achieve with your blog?
- Within my blog I want to launch my own business. I’m using this blog to network, give people a feel for me, and get a feel for certain industries and whatnot. With the usage and growth of the internet, you can meet a lot of cool people and get to know a lot of people….and through this, the world gets smaller and your chances for success increase.
Anything special in the works for your blog that your readers should look out for?
- Most definitely man, I’m going to be launching OneTen TV really soon and that’s just going to blow people’s minds away. Also, I’m in the works of this Houstatlantavegas Tour which is going to be yet another big thing. Also, like I said earlier, I’m re-designing and re-launching my blog….so that’s going to be epic man!!
From a blogger perspective, how much repitition in blogs do you come across often?
- I think blogs are starting to become like opinions, everyone has one…but only a few really matter. So I see a lot of repetition with blogs, but then again, there’s only so much for people to cover w/o it becoming over-saturated and over-used. Real talk, look at these gossip blogs….when things jumped off with Chris Brown and Rihanna, how many posted the exact same thing??? That shows you how much repetition there is in blogs, so I try to put my own spin on things and keep things fresh and original.
With the growing popularity of blogs, do you think the future of blogs is a bright one?
- Most definitely. Even though bloggers are growing at a rapid number, there’s enough for everyone to eat. You see how the music industry is, there’s millions of aspiring-artists and tons that have already made it, but yet you still see people getting it in, grinding hard, and making a name for themselves amongst the crowd.
Tell the readers a little bit about yourself and how your personality contributes to the blog..
- Terrance ‘OneTen’ M. (yeah, that’s me) is just dope. LOL, but seriously, I’m a little bit of everything and refuse to compromise or sell myself short just to fit-in with everyone else. I am willing to listen to and work w/ absolutely anyone and I’m one of those people that actually responds. You see on Twitter, you have these people that are ‘movers and shakers’ that have a ton of followers but don’t really follow anyone back nor show love and respond. That’s not me, I’ll always be one of these people that interacts, gets to know, and reciprocates love back to those that send it. Thank you for showing me love over here at Life Has No Script, you know I support my dude and be sure to continue to rock w/ me.

It’s been an honor!!!!
big ups to my dude
I am an Ohio State Buckeye
The Ohio State
Tradition
Respect
The pressure is on once again…
For yet another time, I embrace the tradition that comes with being a Buckeye, but I do not embrace the losing that has come on the big stage, during Tressell’s tenure. Today we face USC, with a couple of friends playing for the Trojans. Jim Tressell is in over his head again and I do respect him as a coach, but he has not done anything worth mentioning since 2002-2003 and even then, he won barely.
If you too are a Buckeye or do not like the Buckeyes, I’ m quite sure you can see what hasbeen going on in the past couple of years. Football just isn’t the same with traditional powers having down years. University of Miami, Michigan, and Florida State to name a few. I would love to see the competition back at the level it was before and to be honest, I’m an SEC fan.
In any school that you go to or cheer for, I’m quite sure you take pride in your program through everything, but do not like seeing them lose at all. For the Buckeyes, realize that we were once on top of the college football world and have all the tools to be there again, sometimes it just takes a CHANGE.
No more “Oh-verated”, no more “Just beat Michigan”.. take pride in your team and realize the state of your program.
