Obnoxious, Sad - but True... But Kinda Funny

I ride public transit on my way to and from work everyday, and in my travels have consistently come across those people that you look at and just think... seriously!? Why are you doing that!?! I've been curious why people act certain ways. Like not using headphones, or even if they do use headphones singing along so that we can all enjoy their expletive music.

So, in my Googling to see why people are obnoxious (which I kind of think there are multiple reasons) and also make sure that I personally try my best to not one of those people... I came across this article. I mean, to a degree it's funny. But seriously? I can relate to some of these, but others are just down right ridiculous. And, then there is those situations that are completely gross and unsanitary. It's sad to think what the world is coming to, and how rude we are to each other. There's a part of me that would love to say something to these people, but I'm kind of afraid that the offender, who is normally someone who looks like they'll be incarcerated someday if they haven't already been, will get defensive and physical. Let's face it... a 12 year old boy could overpower me if they wanted to.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers. During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room. But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine. But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats. Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others. I immediately did some self-reflection. While I'm pretty good about not...

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here?

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck. I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress. But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward. We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions. Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!
