Pissed

I'm mad as hell right now for numerous reasons. I might blog about those reasons tomorrow, but for now, just know it probably has to do with you if you're reading this. If you are reading this and don't know me, then it isn't about you. I'm just saying....

Haters

hate [heyt]

verb, hat-ed, hat-ing, noun

-verb (used with object)

1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.

Do we shake the haters off or entertain them by showing our envy towards them?

Do you show hatred towards someone you consider a friend just because that person has done something you have long awaited to do? Or do you congratulate them on their accomplishment because you are genuinely happy for them?  We all have a jealous side and that's normal, but allowing it to show is when the problem occurs. Let's all try a little harder to keep that jealousy buried within and keep smiling! 

I have a friend who is always smiling. She is always happy and I don't think I have ever seen her not smiling. Recently I was looking for an angry photo of her for a project I was working on and I honestly could not find one. I told her every single photo I have of her, whether it's a shot she posed for or a candid one where she was caught off guard, she is smiling. Those are the people we should have surrounding us daily....happy and positive people. Hatred is very negative and we should try hard to avoid negative situations and negative people. If you have someone in your life who is always complaining about something and always seems to have negative things to say about something or someone, turn that negative energy around by offering them something positive as a response. I guarantee they will either begin to agree with you and turn their attitude around or they will leave you alone because they see no matter what they say, you will not join them in their negativity. You know what they say...misery loves company. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the company of the happy people around me daily. Life is too short to go around mad, complaining and hating on people on a regular basis.

I'm just saying.

Mardi Gras 2009

It's that time of year again when everyone parties hard for Mardi Gras, gets drunk, throws beads, women show their tits and no one has any regrets the next day. This year I'm not going to Mardi Gras, but that doesn't mean I won't celebrate in my own way.

My question to you women is...have you ever shown your tits for beads? If so, did you get the beads or did the guy just tease you to get you to show your goods?

Be safe out there and have a happy Mardi Gras 2009!!!

Kimisms

:)


Do you have a friend who types the wrong word(s) all the time? Does that irritate you or do you turn it around to make fun of them and include those words in your everyday email vocabulary?


I have a friend who I am fortunate enough to have in my life to provide us with these "kimisms" daily. I have a ton of pet peeves or "splinters" as I like to call them now, so I am very fortunate to have someone like her to provide laughter and make me turn those pet peeves into a comedic situation. Here is a list of "kimisms" to help you translate your emails or text messages just in case you need them:


Wonder = wonderful
Prays = prayers
Excite = excited
Brunch = bunch
Minds = mines
To = too
Know = now
Angel = angel
Want = won't

Frustrated

I'll keep this short and sweet. I am really frustrated for several reasons. One main reason is because I get sick and tired of not feeling like I can be myself. I feel I have to pretend to be someone I'm not sometimes, for one reason or another. One thing I am going to really work on from this day forth is focusing on pleasing myself and worrying less and less about others. I waste too much time, energy and oxygen on trying to please others, trying to figure out why they do the things they do or why they don't do things a certain way and personally, I'm sick of it and I'm sick and tired of being frustrated or irritated by these things daily. So, if you all don't give a damn, why should I? I'm just saying.

Like I've said before and will continue to say....If you think what I'm saying is about you, chances are, it probably is.

Peace....zRo

Inquisitive or Nosey

The question of the day is are you just inquisitive about certain things or are you flat out nosey?
Do you ask people things that you really don't understand and are curious to know the answer to or do you ask questions just to get into their business?

Like everything I blog about, this is a real situation that has happened to me at some point in time, so I'm posing this question to everyone else to see how you may have handled these situations. Also, I'm trying to find out if you are one of those people who just like to be in everyone else's business or if you are one of those inquisitive people?

Growing up, my mom would often ask me what does a certain friend of mine do for a living and my answer would most times be "I don't know." That would irritate the crap out of her because she said I never asked enough questions. My response to her would always be that asking a ton of questions may not come across as a good thing. It may come across as me being nosey and to this day, I still tell her she is just plain nosey and to stop asking me so many questions and to stay out of my business! LOL!

All jokes aside, I still have a problem with asking someone too many questions. I just don't want to seem like the nosey, gossip type. Therefore, I live by a rule that if you ask someone a question and they give you a short answer, that's all that person wants you to know, so you should not continue to ask them questions.

Do you agree or disagree? Are you nosey and can admit it or are you just inquisitive and can stop at one question regardless of the answer you are given? Inquiry minds want to know...

Brian Anthony Scott, II

I want to give all praise to God at this time and thank Him first and foremost for allowing the wonderful team of surgeons to perform a successful operation on my 3 month old nephew.

Brian A. Scott, II was diagnosed with craniosynostosis over a month ago and although fear entered all of our hearts and minds, we stayed prayerful and hopeful while asking everyone for their extended prayers. After sleepless nights and a stressful few hours at the hospital yesterday morning, the wonderful team of doctors and nurses assigned to perform the operation, assured us that everything was a success and that little Brian was doing just fine.

I personally want to thank all of my friends, family and extended network of people through my friends who extended their prayers to us and to B2 (Two as I like to call him). Thank you all for your prayers, countless emails and text messages asking about him, asking for updates and telling me to send your prayers to the immediate family. We appreciate everything!

Here are a couple of photos of the little trooper immediately after surgery. I am proud to share these photos with everyone as I'm sure everyone is excited to see them. B2 is recovering fine and awaiting the opportunity to share his miracle with everyone!

I love you B2! Always...

Simply Saying Thank You

Okay people, I posted a blog a while back about simple acts of gratitude and unfortunately not very many people took it seriously. When are we going to learn to simply say "thank you" to people for whatever they may do for you?? I mean, it irritates me like you could never imagine to take the time to give someone some advice, directions, information, a phone number, or whatever the case may be, only to have them ignore me and not bother to say a simple thank you. You know what that makes me think? It makes me think that you think you're better than me and that it's my job to go out of my way to provide you with infomation that you could have very well looked up yourself. Got dammit! Come on people! Work with me here and say thank you! You're killing me. I'm trying my damnest to be nice and be a more positive person, but you're making me resort to either not answering you when you text me a question, lie and tell you I have no idea, or just do like you do and ignore you. I really don't want to resort to being an idiot like you, but if push comes to shove, I will lead by your example and just ignore you so I am not forced out of my positive element and into your negative one.

I'm just saying...

Once again, if you have to question who I may be talking about, chances are, it's you. So take a moment to reevaluate how you respond (or not respond) to someone who is going out of their way to do something nice for you, only to have you ignore their act of kindness and appear unappreciative.

Karma

kar⋅ma  /ˈkɑrmə/
–noun
1. Hinduism, Buddhism. action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation.

Do you believe in karma? Do you even stop to recognize when something good or bad is happening to you that maybe it's because of some nice or vengeful act you bestowed upon someone else? Think about it.

I am a firm believer in karma and therefore, I often think twice before I attempt to do or say something negative to someone for fear of something bad happening to me as a result. I think everyone should think this way before acting and maybe the world would be a happier place. Maybe there would be less racism, fewer angry people, no more grudge holding or attempts at getting revenge, closer families and more friendships than acquaintances. There would also be more trust in relationships and when things didn't work out, parting ways would be a lot less stressful and a lot less vindictive. We should all strive for good karma instead of bad.

It's time for a change and what better way to start than by reevaluating our own actions and making an effort to change any actions that may not be considered acceptable to others so that good karma can come our way.
