pick a damn line lady...

im sure most of you are gonna say "why is that a problem" but it is so just bear with me.  im tired of people who cant make a decision on which line they want to stand in.  Case-in-point...I walk into chick-fil-a to grab a quick meal during my lunch time.  Unlike walmart, this establishment has multiple cashiers ready to help you with a smiling face. the lady in front of me (not like its her first time on planet earth) is standing "between" lines; you know wut i mean. the ones who dont want to "select a line" and take the first one available, so as not to miss out on the line moving the quickest.  "THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS IN AMERICA", or maybe it does work that way in Alpharetta or Sandy Springs but not where people got jobs to get back to. Damn lady, its just a chicken sandwich and judging by the 3 kids u got running around the place, you obviously dont have anywhere to go in a hurry.  How about some consideration for the rest of us who have 30-60 minutes for a damn lunch break (that includes driving to and fro, waiting in line behind somebody who's being sponsored by somebody who is working, order, wait for the kid out of school to not listen and mess up my order and then ask me again what i wanted, get my change, get my order and haul azz back to work).  I know u gotta go back to the crib and home school your kids once you and your girlfriends finish talking about tennis practice.  How about controlling your damn kids, pick the nuggets up off the floor little jimmy and katie sue dropped and get outta our way..You know us...the working people. but for starters, Pick a damn line lady...

time won't give me time...

outside of being the lyrics in an old culture club song, it seems to be the story of my life. why does it seem like the time u need u can never have? or better yet, the time you need to take care of what u deem to be priorities, others seemingly dont like your choices. why would somebody be disappointed with me because i want to do what i choose on my birthday and not what they want to do for me? its interesting that the generic quote always thrown out is that "people do what they want to do"? while that may b tru, why is that never uttered when the person who made that "cavalier" statement gets what they want? as long as u are "what someone wants to do", its ok. soundz selfish to me...but then again, we are human.

Work...what does it mean other than a paycheck?

how many ppl do u kno who are obsessed with their work, who are type "a" or have stress related diseases and who can't slow down? can't slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves; to reduce life to only its practical considerations. how many ppl do u know that use their work as an excuse to "be who they are"?  to justify why they have succeeded to this point in life?  if you get to work early, work thru lunch, stay late and then take it home or do work from home, what does one have left for one's self? does it matter what u have left or does it matter that the job got done...

the basis of relationships

relationships, at their core, are basically a simple cost-benefit analysis. You're not going to break the bank each and every time, that must be understood.  If u are getting a positive return on your investment, u stay. If u are getting a negative return on your investment, u leave. Its simple as that.  But ask yourself this - Are u one of the greedy ones...U know, one of the ones that's getting more positive than negative but aren't getting what u think u deserve?

Critical Mass

Restlessness has taken over our lives and has left us feeling dissatisfied.  We are all looking for more fulfillment and we won't put up with anything that seems to bring us down.  This restless searching is what's behind the "me-first" attitude that's affecting everyone.  And when it comes to relationships, we're so demanding that we're making them near impossible.  When both partners in a relationship are overly demanding, when each expects the other to live in his or her world, to always be there to join in his or her chosen activities, an ego battle inevitably develops.

a random thought

Surrender…Stop resisting. Stop trying to change what you cannot change.  Be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received and those which are yet to come to you and stand in that space of gratitude and honor, and claim that for yourself and look at where you are and how far you have come, what you’ve gotten and what you’ve accomplished.  And when you can see that and claim that, the literal vibration of your life will change.
