Mismatch between the behavior women ask for and the behavior they reward.

I am annoyed that most women are emotion driven, but one thing i have notice in 3 relationships is women mention they want a man to do the so called correct things: work hard, be a Christian and all these straight and narrow behavior but they praise the one time gangsta that is now doing the correct thing, or the dude that promotes at the club on the side, and he can get you in free or skip the line so that makes resourceful. Some kind of way getting you into the club for free or skipping the line is equal to the dude that is helping you stay above water (financially, emotionally, spiritually) daily for 12 months.

I am not trying to take way from someone’s accomplishment or turning there life around but what i am confused about rewarding the behaviors that is contrary to what they say. If a dude is too hard or thug-ish then he needs to straighten up and if a dude is clean cut has done the correct things then this consistency goes over looked

I think we all look to people to get justified whether we admit it or not, there are certain people we want to impress and their words or non-verbal responses we take notice of, I need to change who i think is important to impress and who non-verbal responses I notice.

Bill Collectors – SunTrust Bank

Suntrust Bank keeps calling me and harrassing me about a bill that is not even due yet. My car note is due by the 17th of each month. For the past four years I have never been late and I only have 4 payments to go. The collectors have now started calling early! It’s not even due yet and they are blowing up my home and cell phones and leaving messages saying that “this is an attempt to collect a debt”. WTF??? Stop calling me!

Down Low Up High

Wow, never would I have believed that brothers, married brothers at that, are in such large proportions living on the down low. WHY? Why not accept who they say they are and let go of that wife or girlfriend they have been holding in bondage, hostage to their own fears, unable to let them go completely because of fear that their down low rendevous might just be exposed in plain view to all they’ve hidden it from for too many years to count. Why perpetrate a lie? Is it for conscience sake? Or have they convinced themselves through a reprobate mind that it’s all good, as long as it feels good to them? Hmmmmm…..

Women have been actually married to these varmints for years, having children, and living that, persay, traditional family life and, so they say, WITHOUT A SINGLE CLUE. C’mon ladies. Let’s get real. The clues are there, but your desire to pretend they are not is there, too. Why subject yourself to this? Do you not think any better of yourself than that? A woman has been given an innate sense from God that some call a woman’s intuition. If you suspect it, then it’s probably some validity to it.

All you DL’s stop victimizing the women. Either you are for them or against them. You can not have it both ways. Not for long anyway. Eventually something has to give, something like a little birdie telling, something like an illness, something like they look at the family and friends they’ve deceived and the guilt and remorse literally destroys them, but sooner or later something has to give.

Musically Declined

I’ve always had a penchant for music. It’s just in me. When other children were listening to mostly R&B, my mother had me listening to all genres of music: country, folk, classical, pop, gospel.

My problem today are with lyrical contents being lyrically void of contents with substance. This morning as I awakened from a good sleep, trying to get my meditation on to be in the right spirit for church, the tv was on as usual and a music video was showing while this song was harping away. I don’t know the name. I don’t know the artist, but I do remember these lyrics: “God is Great. Beer is Good. People are Crazy!”

And yes, I do watch CMT often.

Has anyone caught a glimpse of the Utopia promised to us the Liberals? Thought I did but it turned out to be a mirage…

It’s not me, it’s you…

Isn’t it crazy how nice we are to people when we’ve decided that we don’t want to date them anymore? We are a society of punks who are afraid to tell people what we really think to their faces (as I type an anonymous rant… lol). We always have to try to lessen the blow because we don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. Ultimately, they end up thinking you’re an a$$hole because you’ve sugar-coated the real issue so much that it seems like you’re just walking away for no reason.

Well, dammit, I’ve decided that I’m no longer holding back for the sake of being tactful. I’m telling these girls the truth from here on in…. “Listen girl, your breath smells like goat cheese and dragon a$$…”; “You’re f*cking nuts and if we keep talking, I’m probably gonna be the top story on 11 Alive News…”; “I met your mom and your sister and frankly, it doesn’t look like you’re gonna age well…”; “Whenever we talk, by the time you get finished complaining, I wanna commit suicide…” And what the hell ever happened to good old fashioned “I just don’t like yo a$$!”. See, these are all things that I’ve wanted to say to women in the past, but I always keep it low key and just take one for the team. “No sweetie, it’s me — it’s not you. You’re perfect — I’m just not ready for what you have to offer…” Bullsh!t like that perpetuates the universal female belief that men ain’t shyt and they end up thinking that nothing is wrong with them. I’m on a oneman crusade to get this corrected and I hope you’ll join me. The next time you get ready to cut one loose, just keep it real and let her know, “No, it’s not me — it’s you!”

No Motivation Even with Threaten of Lay Offs

I am supposed to be training to do ONLY 22 Push ups in 60 seconds (along with some other PT things-but I can pretty much do those-push ups the only issue.) At this point, I cannot do one. But I cannot find the motivation to do this. I have to be able to do this to start my dream career and I hate the job I have now, but I still will not get started. This past week, my current job started threatening lay offs and I thought to myself, “I know I’ll be able to start training now.” What have I done since then, you ask? Eat, Sleep, Watch TV, Drink alcohol, party, stay up late….and the list goes on and on. Not once have I TRIED to do any working out! Where is my MOTIVATION?!

Do It Yourself!

You know people that are lazy as heck and unwilling to even use their brain cells, always will try to enlist others that are both capable and willing to do their work for them. They pimp out the gifts from these people. Opportunists are what they are. Capitalizing on someone else’s hard work and precious time. Then sometimes after the person has completed yet another task for this lazy, uninspired, schmuck, the person with his unappreciative self, has the audacity to find fault and try to correct and critique what someone else has done that they themselves wouldn’t do. Aint that a Blimp! And will even try to put down the person with personal attacks to try to lower their esteem in that person simply because they actually are intimidated by the gifts that person possesses, not to mention that person’s ability to make things happen when others are just thinking if it will ever happen. Jealousy spews it’s face in all forms, in all people, especially those trusted. Flattery is deceiving… just
