Get Over It Already
...le sigh...

Since I can remember, I've always been the type to believe fair is fair. I have never backed down from anything that has challenged me. Let me repeat that last statement. I have never backed down from anything that has challenged me! So as a person who believes that AND karma is a bitch, it hurts me beyond belief when someone else is accepting to it, and even more so when they're accepting and allowing it to indirectly happen to me. As the type of person who defends others, when there is wrong doing or trouble, why would you allow it to happen to you or the people around you?

The events that have plagued me over the course of 8 months, I feel that I have done all that I can do, in my position: prayed, sent emails, applied other places, beat myself up for not trying harder, and held my tongue, etc. At this point, I'm tired. Tired of feeling like I'm not being heard. Tired of feeling unaccomplished. Tired of feeling incompatible with: people, life choices, the space I'm currently taking up. Tired of feeling tired.

I place so much into the relationships I have, but I rarely feel like they're being reciprocated. You would think after knowing me for x amount of years: you'd know not to ask me abstract questions; you'd spare me my feelings by not confirming the truth of something I exposed months earlier; you'd not say things that you KNOW irritate me; you'd stop relaying messages you know I don't care about; you'd stop talking to me suddenly as if we've been talking for hours and ask me a less broad question; you'd get some balls and stand up for something; you'd start acting your age and not your dauhter's; you'd stop being nonchalant about things but get mad when you're not progressing; you'd take life more seriously; you'd stop being bi-polar (take yo' medicine, the non-prescription type)!

I could go on...but why?

Have You Seen Me?
It is time for the coon-foolery of the day. On my other page, I usually post a video or a picture of something just 'not right'. Today's picture, comes from Mediatakeout.com. If you know the person that is involved, please give her a hug, slap her, and dig up Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman for a good ol' whip lashing action!



Have you seen this?! Feel free to comment as you please. I'm still a little speechless.

Reflection and Recognition
...it just takes a few seconds...


Everyday, find something remarkable. Friend or foe. Good or bad. Regardless of what it is you believe in: flowers, trees, concrete, toenails, or pig's feet, be thankful. Stop at some point in your day and reflect. Give 3 positives for the one negative. Whisper "Thank You" while you're driving. Before you go to sleep, say "Thank You." Recognition makes a big difference in your experiences in life. My friends, acquaintances, allies, associates, etc. vary from Atheists to Catholics. Never do we step on one another's toes about who God is or what He can do.

Without the day's plots and storyline, where would you be? Who would you be?! Are you the main character? If so, do you like the limelight? Have you considered taking on a lesser role and giving someone else an opportunity to shine? As much as it pisses me off when someone says something out of pocket, or gets upset over something that's not going to change, I just have to say, "Thank You!" That day was not my day to shine. I can't get upset about it, but I can learn from it. I can be thankful for those that indirectly showed me how not to act. What not to say. How I should go about something.

Think of things that you desire, and do those things for others. I hate when people mean-mug. I always speak with a smile. I tell children they are beautiful and men, scrumptious. I compliment a woman on her skin, and even tell myself how much I love my weak right eye! I didn't get to hear too many positive things about myself as a child, and childhood affects adulthood. However, I don't let that anchor my progression. I've turned that one negative into many positives.

Stay positive and give thanks. He hears you and will answer. Not on your time, but on His.

Privacy
...we need a little...

I feel like I'm a pretty private person. All my life, I've heard and have known that there is some "mystery" that hangs over my head. In most cases, there is no one person that knows me, that truly knows me. I only give so much about who I am.

One thing I will fill you in on is, I've been known to do my own personal investigative work on things that I want to know about; hair, men, books, etc. I am VERY thorough with my research. Since I've been on sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc., I've guaranteed that I am totally protected privately. Therefore, my pages are locked and I have to approve any and all things that may go through.

Here's the thing....

Over the last few weeks, I have been able to access people's information on sites, like the ones mentioned above, whose pages are private. I am no tech guru. I don't know any special codes, nor do I hack! I am not friends with these people, but I'm all up in their photos like I am! I'm reading their notes as if they were addressed to me! I'm friending their friends! WTF?! I shouldn't be able to stalk you unless I'm in someone else's car! I shouldn't be able to get incriminating information on you, unless I were getting paid a couple hundereds per hour! Point blank and period!

When you don't take the time to completely go through a site, and moderate what's going on, you lose. You lose EVERYTHING! Companies aren't hiring people because of the half-naked pic of you and your significant other in the bed, posted on Facebook. Families aren't speaking to one another because of the blog post you made on Myspace. People are losing their lives because of the video they posted on Youtube, and thought it would be cool for the world to see!

I still write in a journal (when I keep up with it), unless I'm in a blogging mood, and in that case, I still don't reveal who's who! I only trust certain people with information, not my cousin's best friend on her daddy's side twice-removed by marriage! I remember codes, and passwords, just in case software like Password Keeper (for all my Blackberry users) decides it wants to throw in the towel! I delete files on my computer and on my phone as often as possible, because people will put you on blast at any given moment!

We have somehow gotten out of tune with doing the basics. Luckily, I'm the type of girl that has learned from other people's mistakes! Learn to limit what other people do (and can do to you for that matter)!
