The Simple Stuff

You know the simple things in life, The air around you, the sensations that rise and fall during your daily encounters, the commonality of your routines. These are things that can't be controlled and certainly won't allow you to even consider contemplating on controlling them. So why bother even worrying or complaining about such mundane things? Even you, personally know that taking action will surely get rid of the problem and allow you to do something more fulfilling.

For example you have a clogged shower drain, and everytime you take a shower, you watch the water pool up, mixed with all the other good things you washed off your body, AND.......stay there. Now your mind goes through courses of action, to summarize here are three:

1. Curse at the drain. (Emotion)
2. Look and think that if you stare long enough if might magically clear. (Compliance)
3. Decide to come up with a solution and clear the drain. (Action)

Now consider options 1 and 2. Did following through with those option make your day? or did they actaully make you think about that damn drain all day? Well either way it wasn't anything nice.
Now option 3, guess what? it got shit done. Shit. Got. Done. Specifically your drain got mangled by Drano and you went on your merry way.

 Now also take for instance the weather, Ya it is a hot day. You decided to come up with a meaningful and fulfilling comment about the situation, and to what avail? It is still going to be hot, you are going to be sweating, your clothes are going to be sticking to your body like melted smores sticking to your fingers. (Ya I thought that was clever). 
Well how about you get naked, or go to a pool, or dazzle yourself with a plethora of ice cubes.
O wait, thinking and taking action actually makes things better? Hmm hard thought there.

SOOO why waste time conjuring up your brain power to come up with a combination of words that provide your conscience with a meaning to the relief from the situation. Does it make you feel better? Did it make the problem go away? Did you spiral down in a sinking depression and consider eating away your feelings with a dozen krispy kream donuts stuffed with M&M's?

I can bet you it didn't.  But, it DID make you want some donuts, or M&M's or whatever.

SO why even bother addressing the situation with emotion and waste time when eventually you are going to have to come up with a solution sooner rather then later. And actually DO IT. This doesn't even have to be anything that is really urgent or physically there.

And this can be applied to anything, I Mean ANYTHING, kicking the neighbors dog because it is really not a dog but a rat like creature, talking to that someone you always wanted to talk to, having a serious conversation with your parents about your beliefs, making an Epic Meal Time meal, traveling to who knows where, trying a new sex position, seriously could be anything.

BUT the key to this, IS:

• You have to be able to see that you are blocking yourself from reacting to a situation. 
• Then you have to realize that it is truly a blockage. 
• Realize what it is that is blocking you. And finally just f!*$ it out of your way.

 aand guess what? it is going to be so awesome when you actually unblock yourself .

So be cool and go do things.

a hint to the female

What is it with these with a lady questioning your intentions with other girls when the man is just trying to let you have a good time. The next time a lady I'm with asks me anything about what my intentions are with another, and whether i like them, what do i think of them, or any other bullshit question related to that topic.
Seriously if I'm with you, THERE IS A REASON FOR IT!!! stop tryting to change my mind.
Also, ladies if this is a guy you are not with but you are asking him these kinds of questions, then you are definitely lowering your chances for attraction. Just don't do it, why would you want him to start thinking about some other girl when he's hanging out with you. If it is your method of trying to find out he's attracted to you then abandon it and try something more creative, like: HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THEN THE GIRL YOU JUST ASKED HIM ABOUT.....

Aight nothing but a crack

So I got to this idea whilst looking at the bottom of my shoes in the middle of class, obviously the best ideas come out of mind numbing excessive concentration at the task at hand..... So back to my shoe.

• Imagine that the shoe is your life as an entirety.
• The cracks, crevices, indentations, and patterns on the bottom of your shoe are the relationships and experiences you have in your life.
• Now the rocks, stones, objects that have become stuck or embedded in the shoe cracks are people that have become part of your relationships and experiences.

Questions: How did they get there? Did you even know they were there? Did you care?

It's funny to see how people come and go through life and we don't even tend to notice or care how they got there. Just like those stones that got stuck in your shoe cracks as you were prancing along through your day. One moment they were there stuck in the bottom of your shoe, the next they could disappear to become part of another persons life or disappear in their entirety to never be seen again. At some points you might even take a look at the bottom of your shoe and decide that a certain rock is bothering you and you decided to pluck it out. You meant it no harm but instead thought it would be better for the rock to be free from your shoe and maybe as a result the comfort the shoes now give you is much better then when the rock was stuck in the crack.

The people that come and go through your life will always be circulating, some will stay, some will go, but you'll always have those cracks, those experiences and relationships that have molded your shoe to what it is today.

Don't fret that some rocks get lost and maybe won't turn up again, its really nothing that you can do, because as you walk there will be other rocks that are trying to get into those cracks and you won't even know that they pushed somebody out or someone new came in.

...Until of course you take a look at the bottom of your shoe. So take some time, appreciate what you got in those cracks, maybe even wonder what happened to some of those rocks you used to have, its really not so bad at the bottom of your shoe.

And I think this is just awesome

So take a nice look at the shoe eh?

decisions decisions

Telling someone they are wrong is really the lousiest way to provide any social and communication support. Really if you're going to tell some one that they are wrong at least try to allow them to explain what they did otherwise my " I am always right friend" you are not going to go far in life. And really its quite funny to see you realize YOU, are indeed wrong and attempt to find a reason for you mistake. However going for a second round is not advised, yet you are confident in your tactics and decisions. So I sit back and enjoy your failure, ya its a dark guilty pleasure to see someone with such an egotistically overconfident attitude allow themselves to make fun of others whist being in the wrong yourself. And telling people you don't trust me to my face, gives me a FAT smile, cuz time will even things out and you'll be the one asking me for a job.

It's alright a lesson was learned from you selfish ways,

-Don't decide in haste and if you do decide to make a decision quickly be mindful of the externalities that may occur and make sure you pay extra attention to them, they will be noted and rewarded.
-If you have to the best way to point somebody's wrongs is to provide a path for the individual to see for themselves what it is they are doing instead of bluntly telling them, granted that sometimes that is the best way. Humans don't like change and a sudden shock may create consequences you may have to deal with later and most likely have to work your ass off to mend.
-Be mindful to everyone, your generosity may not be appreciated now, but life has twists and turns and in a time of need you'll have someone to turn to.



Now Go write your papers Marie.

Waiting

The only thing for sure you can wait for is death, so everything else you say you're "waiting" for is really an excuse to say you're wasting time. So if there is something you are "waiting" for, stop waiting, go get it, no one is stopping you, and if someone attempts to, it just makes it that much more fun. its your cookie, go get it.

...

Seriously its pretty difficult to compete with cheaters, still devising a plan. and I believe I have become a minority in some of my classes, its a little irritating, but doesn't matter they still work for me.

the awkward yawn

ya you've caught someone starring at you, so the person decides to hide their sneaky ways and diverts their eyes away from you and begins to engage in the "awkward yawn."

Now why do it? if you're already looking keep looking, i mean its not gonna get any more uncomfortable, well maybe it will, if nobody brakes eye contact for at least 30 seconds.....but then again you might just have something going on there. so its good to stare, do a little more. You can worry about talking later....

just a few side notes for today:

Girls with cigarettes, you could have been approachable.

The man will always lean in to hear what a woman is saying.

Most people think I'm quite, I just think a lot.
