Shaken...Not Stirred

      I have had a rough week... in fact it seems that I had a beautiful nightmare. One of those weeks where you want to repeatedly pinch yourself to see if it's real. On Monday I got a phone call that I just landed a position at a new job and that same night I was robbed at gunpoint. #KanyeShrug. I hope they needed it more than I did.

       All I can say is that it is good to be alive. A phone and a wallet are replaceable. It's just metal, leather and a few strips of plastic. I still have my health, my new job, great friends and family and most importantly my life. This is just another road block that I have encountered and conquered in life. In this jungle we live in where the monkeys roam free, the hyenas never sleep and the vultures linger around to pluck whatever is left of humanity the only thing we can really do is survive. 

     Jay and Ye weren't lying. There is No Church in the Wild. Let's just say I'm a firm believer in karma and there is no doubt that we get back what we put into this life. I'm over it. People...I swear, need to get themselves some business and stay out of mine. I'm singing in my head "If I ruled the world"..

Until tomorrow comes take care for now,

We Found Love?

"Love can be found like pennies on the ground... that shit isn't love."

     Some of us would like to think that we have found love in a hopeless place but your odds in finding love in a hopeless place is like finding an $80.00 bill in the middle of Target®. If that's the case then I found love in a back of a subway car... I didn't know their name, but we fucked... and I LOVED it.

     When it comes to love people take it to new extremes. Some think that this idea of love is something that is supposed to be cookie cutter perfect, complete with a white picket fence and a few children. Some think that love consist of random moments of drama and make up sex. While love to me cannot be defined by words, but I do feel that love is some type of deep complex feeling/emotional bond with another.

     The media doesn't necessarily give good examples of what love is (i.e. Chris Brown & Rihanna or even Bey & Jay). I always say what's normal for me isn't always considered normal to others. So whatever works for you may be best... for you. If you ask Michelle how she found Barack or even how Oprah found Gayle, I'm pretty sure they won't say they found their love in a hopeless place... Now Bobby and Whitney, that's a different story. LOL ;-)

 

P.S. I love We Found Love in a Hopeless Place... and the video is hot.

Faux Friends

So this year is all about moving forward correct? Well there have been snakes dwelling in my yard for too long and its time for me to bring out the lawn mower. That's right get rid of these pests which seem to pop up in text messages, random phone calls, and emails. One snake whose rent was due has gotten the eviction notice. This snake claimed to be my "bestie" while also being a "bitch". Here's how it all went down.

Snake: Are we even still friends? (after at least a month of not talking)

Me: Yea (I'm not going to deny someone who still wants to give it a try)
*A couple seconds later*

Me: You know I could really care less about the status of our friendship. I have my priorities and you have yours.

Snake: Thanks for being honest.
Snake: I usually don't keep friends this long anyway.

FIN.

Later on that night I was on Twitter <---- follow on the side. And I spotted the snakes account and to my not so surprise the BIO section read: "LOVES SEX". Now me being the private person that I am... I do not like when people put themselves out there. So can you say #BLOCKED.

I get a txt later from the snake...it was some bullshit. I barely glanced and just deleted the message. My Reply was "its been over #okbye."

END OF STORY FOLKS.

Sometimes you just have to let things go and move on. When you get bit by a snake they tell you to suck the poison out right? That's what I'm doing... sucking the poison out of my life.

Okay #NEXT

DAMN Mother Nature!!!

Lay off the PMS and get some damn MIDOL!! Sheesh! This force of nature made it Rain, NO Snow, sleet, Ice all over the place. Hitting the DMV pretty hard. We are talking about at least 3 feet of snow and here I am snowed in which I HATE! I don't like being unproductive and the only time I have free time is when I sleep... which rarely happens. lol. So the wrath of "Mother Nature" took at least two branches off the everlasting evergreen tree in the front yard. BITCH!! At least there was no damage to the property and everyone made it through night. I spent two days shoveling snow and it shows. I have a pathway through the "Great Walls of Snow" i built leading to the cars. All of the shoveling seemed pretty pointless being that the alley way is still completely covered with the white stuff.

Those damn meteorologist were very much on point with predicting the weather even though I consider them to be very unnecessary. I mean we could just look up at the sky and tell if we should grab an umbrella or a blanket and a picnic basket. Okay, I think I'm done ragging on poor Mother Nature for doing her job. Maybe if I was still a kid I would be as happy as a polar bear but I'm grateful that the storm wasn't worse. I grateful that the snow storm didn't come with earthquakes and tornadoes. (My love goes out to all of those suffering not only in Haiti but around the world. To the homeless children begging on the streets in Shanghai China to the abused animals wandering around looking for food.) *Yes I care about every creature big or small*

Well its Super Bowl Sunday and you know what the best part of it is: The Halftime Show! Hopefully it's actually someone I like this year. But regardless I will keep my eyes and ears open when it goes down. Uh, by the way who's playing this year? lol. I could care less when it comes down to it. My Ravens didn't make it this year. Can you say #NEXT? We shall see.

Enjoy,

Egos are Unattractive..

And if you have one lose it... quick! Egos are not attractive on anyone including celebrities and the people that consider themselves celebrities. This applies to both my ladies and my dudes whose ego is driven by the car they drive, the clothes they wear, or even the job they have. It's so annoying to see grown men and women who have these quote on quote "Egos". And we all know them to be the ones to live their lives through material things. In some cases it is not about material items maybe its looks? Narcissism anyone? Narcissism is a disorder! Sheesh, so that must mean that having an ego equals having a mental disorder? Hmmm... let us read on.

Now having an ego is not to be misconstrued with being confident.


Confidence is a good things and in most cases confidence is the backbone which drives us to try new things, to venture out into the wilderness alone, to walk into that interview with our heads held high. Its more of an inbound emotion that we bring out in everyday life. Not only when we get a fresh cut fellas or when you get a new pair of Jimmy Choos; but it should be moderately in effect all of the time. But when you are just plain arrogant for no apparent reason #letsbehonest... It just makes you look like a JACKASS! So to all my folk with "Egos" its time to humble yourself. It makes a difference when you actually care. When you give respect you earn respect.
EGO?

Nah ma dude.. "We Off That"
