Chapter 2 : Blake Cunningham
Blake Cunningham, life-long friend and ally, is less than shy when it comes to pursuing what he desires. If it’s light-skinned, petite, and flamboyant, Blake is drawn to it like flames to free condoms and lube. Not to just throw his will and better judgment to the east wind, Blake has found—let’s just say—firmer ground through the years. In my knowledge and years of child-hood, I have never known Blake to try to take anything too seriously. It has grown more particular as the years have rolled, that Blake is on never ending quest to obtain a reflection of himself; the question would be would he disregard the mirrored flaws and take in the good or will he throw the same stones at that person everyone else throws and ironically hitting himself in recoil.
Blake is an optimist. He feels that things—no matter the situation—are on the up and up. He is more trusting in people than any other person in the group. For instance, Blake is willing to go to a birthday party of a person that he used to date with the person he is currently talking to. The rest of us would instantly shield away from such drama, but not Blake, he looks at the situation as an opportunity of enjoyment, an atmosphere of people with similar interest, food, and entertainment. The rest of us would zone and focus on the fact that this simple bitch who is staring at my man. That is just what separates us, yet, makes us a team.
He just wants to have fun, plain and simple. Any factor hindering that goal, is usually cut out of the picture, whether it be a person he is currently dating, a situation, a job, etc, will usually not last. He does not like the ball and chain feeling. Not saying Blake is opposed to a relationship, but if the person is more of a burden than an uplifting spirit, then that person inherits a short shelf life.
If Blake’s eye could be open to a more discipline reality, maybe he would take things more serious. He has a playful heart, but sometimes that is the very factor that cripples him. His trust in people can be warming like a heath fire, or burn him like a California wildfire. Maybe with a more cautious view, he would avoid a lot more drama…maybe.
