| its all about respect, and i hate to be disrespected!!! i give respect until someone doesnt give it back. its something called principalities!!! if you want to learn about princpalities, watch FRIDAY!!!! its funny, i always got to be the one to take the higher road. when is going to be the other guy that takes the higher road??? its like, say i go to the mall and accidently bump into someone, i say "excuse me." thats the right thing to do. the ones that dont are disrespecting you! i do show respect to those that say "excuse me," i say "excuse me back." common curtisy. like the saying goes, "common sense isnt so common" | | |
| role models and idols.... i gotta say you really cant have one unless its.... this guy who you put on this mantel and basically swear by all means as your so called "god." you bring his name up whenever you have a any conversation that even remotely pertains to him. you stand behind him 125%! hes your guy, and you let everyone know that, he never ever lets you down. he brings you the most joy when things go right and he brings you the most pain when things go wrong. i remember my idol so well. even to this day, i can make an arguement my guy is the best ever. thats how much he lives with me still. i never let anyone talk about him, and if they do, so what, i still know the truth. even if the truth isnt what you want to hear, its still the truth and you have to just take in what you want to believe. i know lots of people are going to rip on your man, but thats all part of life. life is harsh and not meant to be easy. life isnt suppose to be easy like a fairytale. life comes at you in many ways. your not going to get the nice and easy fastball right down the middle of the plate, sometimes curveballs come and you have to just be resilent and learn how to roll with the punches. then theres the occasional bean ball. when those come, thats when the learning process starts. you have to do like they say in cards, know when to hold em and know when to fold em. thats the hardest part, people have to know when its the right time to stand up for their man or just let it go. thats the hardest part. sometimes it can mean, either just walk away and not say anything, or its time to get and rumble, thats where you really learn. life has its many turns and sometimes its u turns, but thats life. learn from it, thats all i can say use what you learned and make yourself a better person. im not taking any sides on this, beceause there should be no sides taken. learn from this and you will be a better person. its a cruel lesson to have to learn, but you will definitely be a better person for it. maybe this will teach people that the only heros and role models you should have are your parents and family. those are the ones that will be by your side through the thick and thin. everyone else, you can look up to with a grain of salt. i wrote a paper on why athletes shouldnt be role models back in college. i still remember that, bc my life was altered by my rold model the summer of 6th grade. how can this 6'8 man of steel with the shooting touch of larry bird, the hops only mj could dream of be so inclined to try drugs. maybe thats it, it was his tragic flaw. i mean on the basketball court he wasnt scared of anything. no matter how small or big you were, no matter how much trash you talked to him, no matter what the score was, he just wasnt afraid of anything. thats just it, he wasnt scared of anything and that led him to his downfall. cocaine wasnt anything to him, just another episode that stood in his way to fame. he took it as just another free throw, nothing big, nothing that could take his life! he had his whole life in front of him, and he was a product of pg county. the high school was right down the street from me. everyone knew him just by his first name, there was no need to say the last name b/c it was already known who you were talking about. you could only be so lucky to have the same name as him. to this day you say his name and i still get gossbumps. the word role model is such a bad word. for the fact that you put this person on the mantel. one thing wrong and your world is destroyed. only if i knew to look up to the right people when i was younger, my world would be to totally different..... ....i cant believe 20 years later and another scandal at UM UM stay strong, and keep believing in the best of people. things will get better. as it once said on the south hill courts, "lenny lives." | | |
| Strange things always happen to me....
Can you believe I get to work late, think im going to get yelled at
when my boss comes in, so im out running around trying to cover my
tracks, and them WHAM!!
My boss comes in and catches me on the phone! Only thing she says
to me is. "when you get off the phone, i have to talk to
you!" Im now on the phone and thinking, dag, the gig is up, and
now im going to really get yelled at. First I came in late, tried
to cover it up, and now she catches me on the phone!
Im thinking, right now, this isn't good. I am going to be jobless
in about 15 mnutes!!! I really have no excuses, all I can do is
LIE!!! Straight LIE out my pants like ive never done. I was
thinking of everything and anything to say. So as Im walking over
to talk to her, I can tell shes in a bad mood already, shes
talking to another person in our section and i hear her saying, I need
to talk to you too!!! Oh man, Im thinking, the ish is going to
hit the ceiling today, and i cant believe I went shopping yesterday,
and on top of that decided to wear the new clothes to work today, so no
way can i return them now!.
I just decide to just bite the bullet and go in and say, "you wanted to
see me???" She looks at me and then turns and hands me a
folder. Im like, oh gosh she has a list of everything ive ever
done wrong and shes like that blk guy in that jim carey movie, I think
its god almighty or something and she knows every bad thing ive ever
done.
She says for me to open it. I open and and am thinking to myself, how in the world can i get out of this one!!!
What do i see.... an award!!!! Im like,
WHAO!!!! She then says, "I didn't think you would get this
exctied over an award."
....only if she really knew

| ok im thirty and im ok with it. I still got up early to hit the
gym and everything was fine with me, no problems just the fact that
when i got home, someone called and reminded me that old people dont
need alot of sleep, thus the reason i woke up at 5:35am this morning.
The cold isn't too bad now, i think in the mornings now, i just get up
and walk outside and am not scared of the cold, no more needing to sit
there for 5 minutes and bundle up and cover ever part of my body with
something. I think being 30 should be ok, I just dont know
what your suppose to look foward too. I mean when your 20 you
look foward to turning 21 so you can be cool and drink, you look foward
to hitting 25 so your car insurance drops. But at 30, what are
you loooking foward too??!?
I was thinking maybe you look foward to more white hairs, maybe more
wrnkles, reading glasses, doing the whirt sleeve button down and
tie look with a pair of khakis, boat shoes with tappered lag jeans, a
button down shirt with sweatpants, playing sports in a polo
shirt, trying to think the sweater tied around the neck is cool, shorts
getting shorter, the smell of ben gay, having a closet full
of clothes from the past 15 years with no clothes bought in the past
5! I could go on and on....see what you get to look foward to.
