Okay, I know I've been a little deeper than usual these last couple of blogs. Let's just say, if u didn't understand then it wasn't meant for you to.
Hmm, I at work now... just kinda here really... the computer does the work, I just make sure the right buttons are pushed, lol
What shall I talk about? Everything is pretty much quiet with me right about now. When I say quiet I mean good! and on the rise, Even though I am dealing with some personal issues, nothing major. Just take it from me, anything you do in life is your choice and your choice only. You have to live for you because in the end, your decisions should make you happy. Would you rather make choices to please someone else and end up miserable or please yourself? All I can say is, accept advice wisely, but ultimately your decisions should be your own. In the end, you only know what's best for you!
Some things that were clear have fogged up again, don't know why, but they're starting to kinda clear up again... life is such a 5 letter word that rhymes with itch...
I think the biggest lesson I've learned this month is that there are no shortcuts... shortcuts only lead you right back to the beginning again, This applies to every aspect of life, whether it be relationships, school, jobs, religion, anything... Take the time and put in the work, and only then will you be happy with the results!
Well back to work i go ;)

Hilton vs. Marriot
So you're looking to change hotels I see. What's that, maybe? Well here's what the Hilton has to offer that the Marriot just can't live up to.
-Not only are the rates better, but you also get more "bang for your buck".
-The rooms here are much nicer and have far better views. Think of that river view at sunset, calm, peaceful, and serene. Gives you a feeling that you have no worries and can just kick back and relax. Put your feet up, let your hair down, just chill!
-Our Service here is far more superior! From the moment you step foot, you're pampered with nothing but the highest level of service. All you have to do is step out of the limo that was sent to the airport to pick you up, follow the red carpet to the front desk, and get your keys. Everything else will be taken care of. Lifting a finger is not allow here. So try not to let it happen.
-The Hilton is far more loyal as well. Our guest are not just any guest. Here you will be part of the family. This is your home away from home. Don't worry about being abandoned or left behind and forgotten about.
-The Hilton is a great variety. Not only is it designed for the modern traveler, it also has a rich history of tradition and gives it that solid foundation that separates the good hotels from the great ones. You can take a swim in one of our nicely heated pools, or even hop in one of our perfectly tempered jacuzzies. Feeling like a workout? Visit our top of the line workout facility equipped with the best equipment in existence. Need that extra push? Have one of our on-site personal trainers take you under their wing. (No purchase necessary)
So in short, The Hilton is the biggest upgrade you could ever make in your life, and don't worry this offer will never expire so take your time and decide what's best and remember with the Hilton you're our family for a lifetime!

Addictive
It's addictive isn't it,
Why do you return? How could you?
Months and Months of rehab, and all it takes is one taste and you're relapsed.
What is it about this drug? Why does it have such a hold on you? Why does it control your life? Don't you realize that it's a one way street. It never comes to you, yet you still seek it. What is it about this drug? Why does it have such an easy control over you? Why do you seek it even when the supply is gone? What about it is so comforting? How can you hold on to that comfort after it's been proven otherwise? What makes it hard to change? Months and months of rehab and all it takes is one taste? Must be a hell of a drug. How much does it cost? How long does it last? What do you get in return? What will you lose? Must be a hell of a drug.
I can't just stand here and watch you continue to abuse this drug. I can help you, but you have to want to be helped. If not then I'm just wasting my time. I've been there once, addicted. Once it's gone you can never get that same high again. You try and try, but you fall harder and harder. I don't want you to fall as hard as I did. Let me help you, give me your hand. Let me show you a life without drugs. Let me show you how to achieve that natural high! I can show you, let me show you!

What is this?
My world is starting to slow down! I'm been moving at such warp speed and suddenly it's as if someone has pushed the emergency brakes... What has been going on? Why is there such chaos? I've been at light speed so long I couldn't have noticed the things that maybe I could have helped prevent. Or maybe it's just things changed as they would have if I was there or not. The only problem with that is, I didn't get to change with them. So now i'm stuck, how to I catch up? I just want everything to be like it was. Everyone was so close, there was an err of togetherness. Nowadays, it's every man for themselves.
Why now though? Why not just continue at warp speed? Why do I have to witness this? Is there something I can do? Can anyone do anything? Maybe it's not all bad. Well it really isn't all that bad. Just not the same. Why am I back here anyway? I said I wasn't coming back, so why am I here? These are a lot of questions aren't they. Do I really need the answers? Maybe I already know the answers. Am I afraid to admit I know? or do I really not know? Why is the picture so blurry? Am I still moving too fast? If I slow down more will the blurriness fade. That seems to be true, Some call it soul searching. I don't think that's it. I know who I am, and what I want to do. So I am not soul searching.
Why do I feel this burden? Why is family so important to me and not my family? Or is it? Why do I care more? or do I? Why do I feel the weight on my shoulders? is it? Am I spreading myself to thin? Maybe I need to redistribute my energy. Maybe I will. I am back here for a reason though. Why is that? I know I will be gone again, so why am I back? Why did I leave? Something told me to stay, but I felt I should leave... what's drawing me here? What do you want from me? I just want to be happy. I know where my happiness is. Do I care too much for others and not enough for myself? I can't save the world, but I can make it a better place. Am I just ranting and raving? or is this something that's flowing out of me? I've been typing alot, but have I even said anything? Does this make sense? Maybe only to me. Guess if you ask me tomorrow I won't even know why I felt like this. So is this a waste? ??? that's it, I've lost the flow. It's gone now, so I guess this is the end!

Whatever happened to? 2nd edition
ok, lemme get deep right quick... Another edition of:
Whatever happened to?
... to love at first sight?
... to wedlock?
I gotta explain that one, remember the days when a girl would tell her parents, "I'm pregnant" and before she could finish the word pregnant her father had done already drove to the boy's house with a shotgun, brought him back and basically forced a marriage to happen right then and there. I mean back in the day, for better or for worse meant, for better or for worse. People stood married, even if they hated the situation... most of the time because it was out of wedlock, lol. But, can we even use the term Wedlock anymore?!? Doesn't seem to me like there's much of a use for that word... if there was, don't think you'd see so many baby mama's and the like. Not saying wedlock is good, but hey it would also make you think before you act and put yourself in that situation. America is gettin too lax. Society in general is too lax... it's like soceity is gettin old. Does anyone remember when the word Sex was like a word that ppl wouldn't say out loud. Birth control was considered wrong, the word family = Father+ Mother + plus kids+ community... I mean yea, some things were a little too unaccepted, but with the acceptance of 1 came the snowball effect of the rest. ooo sociecty can be pursuaded, if you bagger it enough anything can be accepted... Tobacco and Alcohol used to be banned... remember that? I don't lol, but it's clear in movies like Life where they had underground bars that u had to know the secret password to and stuff like that.... Now society has to beg ppl to quit smoking and has finally gotten a ban on smoking on indoors. Here lately we're talkin about legalizing marijuana and even dropping the drinking age... ??? We're even allowing same sex marriages these days... The new movement, Gay Rights.... everyone has there swing at soceity these days... Just form a group and make some noise!!! you'll get Whatever you like, like T.I. say.... Just to clarify, my views on Gays are based upon my religious beliefs, just plain wrong... however, I do no judge anyone... that isn't my job, that's for God himself to decide. I really don't know if a person is born that way or if it's a choice they've made.... ??? don't know, and that's a whole nother' blog.... back to soceity... It's falling ppl! but that's enough explaining.....
to .99 cent gas? Remember when 1.09 was too high? It's like a game... let's raise gas to 4 dollars and then bring it back to 3.58 and keep it there. That'll seem better than 4 and ppl will be content. We attack society so much, but as a society we accept too much. I don't understand how a small portion of society can bully the greater, collective society, but on the flip side, the society as a whole cannot stop a smaller segment of itself.... that baffles me! Kinda like how those idiots in the Child's Play movies let that damn Chucky doll kill them!! It's a freakin little toy kick the shit out of it!! A little doll with a knife ain't gon' stab me to death, i'm sorry.... lol that's funny... anyhow
to for better or for worse?
I had to come back to this... I think they should drop the for worse part because a 50% divorce rate is telling me that half of the American population I guess didn't hear or doesn't listen to that part of the marriage vows. Let's just drop it... Drop it like it's hot!! Let's just say to have and to hold for better or if not get divorced.... may as well. Don't like your job... quit. Don't like your weight... have surgery. Don't wanna be pregnant... abort. Don't wanna be a man anymore... get a sex change. Don't want your kid to be short... select the genes u want. Don't wanna be bald.... hair club for men/women. Everything has to be for better.... I mean don't get me wrong, some of these things are good to have... but the things we should be focused on making better we're far from doing and the things that only require a little work and effort to turn from bad to good we've just found another quick fix. I.e. instead of therapy/ get a divorce... instead of workin out and dieting correctly/get lipo...
I had planned on just making a list of questions, but I ended up having an opinion for each of em, lol so I'll save the rest for the next edition of Whatever happened to?

Do a few apples really spoil the bunch?
You know what they say, 1 bad apple spoils the bunch... Well can we really translate that to anything? Well I just finished watching a conversation between Tavis Smiley and Evan Bayh, Senator from Indiana who was considered by Obama as a possible running mate. A couple of things that the Sen. spoke about kind of got me thinking. Well i guess enough to make me hop on the site and write on it... lol. Well we all know that there is an issue of race when it comes to the Presidental race. So Tavis asked the Sen. how much of an impact did he think the issue of race would have in Indiana, which is known to be a Red state ( or Republican). Currently, Obama is actually leading in the polls in Indiana and has a chance of acutally winning that state, which is about a 21% increase from the last presidental election.
Well the Senator explained that while it would be naive to say that race isn't an issue, it shouldn't be much of an impact. There's a small group of ppl, in his opinion that still "think like that".... and furthermore those ppl wouldn't vote for a Democrat anyhow. I kinda felt where he was coming from on that, I mean if you're racist you're racist. You gonna hate who you hate and anyone who may seem like they helping who you hate. But they're still the "bad apples" and with history being the way it is, it's hard to overcome that stigma as a race. it's so easy to blame a difference of opinion, or personality, or even dislike of someone on being racist. I mean ppl of the same race have these differences.
It's just too hard to tell, and especially coming from a race that has been oppressed in the past, the extreme excuse is going to be taken... it's just a natural defensive mechanism... If u have a group of 5 ppl, and the group always picked on this one person i'll name Joe. Naturally Joe isn't gonna like that group too much... However, 4 members of that group realize the error of there ways and have genuinely changed and would never pick on Joe the way they did before. I bet if the 4 were together and happen to run into Joe... even knowing that information... Joe isn't gonna really trust them fully. Trust issues... see that trust pops up in everything that is associated with the word "problem"....
We've come along way, but there are just too many bad apples, maybe the analogy is transferable...
But hey, that's just me... Speak on it,

I'm Back!
I'm back!
Hey, that works on 2 levels....
The first being my return to Louisiana.... there's no place like home.... nah really there isn't. Especially the N.O.
The second is creatively. The past couple of weeks I don't think there was a creative bone in my body. I just felt so disoriented. I've only been back 2 weeks, but one small hurdle I had to get over was the fact that I'm not just visiting. Whenever I returned to N.O. in the past, my time was limited. Nowadays, I have no place to return to. That is a strange feeling, and you gotta feel it to understand it. Meanwhile, I just haven't been very creative. My creativeness is what sparks alot of my actions. The more creative i can be, the better I perform... pretty much. I think we got seperated somewhere between here and florida, but it has finally found its way back to me. I see alot of obstacles ahead of me, but with my creativeness back I can face anything thrown at me.
I'm Back!!
