The Upgrade Experience

" Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary." - Sarah San Breathnach I've become complacent...  I hate to admit it, but ya'll know I can't lie to you... Sometimes, we just get so used to dealing with the day-to-day foolery that we find ourselves stuck... Going through the motions each day, just hoping to make it to bedtime & get up to do it all over again tomorrow... That ain't living, my friends... That ain't living... This weekend, I've had to do a SERIOUS re-evaluation of some stuff... Yes, stuff... My attitude, my goals, my relationships, my approach, my values... I really could go on & on listing the randoms that I've mulled over these 3 days, but it all boils down to this: I want alot of things to go my way... Right now... But what am I doing to make these things happen? I'm a self-proclaimed "free spirit"... I pretty much just go with the flow... I like to do what I wanna ...

"We ALL got some ratchet in us..." - Lil' Boosie Yea, I started this blog out quoting Lil' Boosie... Why not??? That one statement from a country rap tune is more real than you even realize... Deep down inside of EVERYONE reading this is a little bit of ratchet... I can't imagine any of MY followers not knowing what the definition of ratchet is, but if there's anyone who may be a bit confused, check it out... Ratchet,when used in day-to-day vernacular, typically means out of control, dirty,"triflin," "ghetto", disrespectful, rowdy, violent, or obnoxious. It is also used in relation to people who are trouble-makers and gossipers. (From TransWiki Wiktionary) Now, you would be BOLD-FACED-LYING if after reading that, you can honestly say that there isn't a smidgen of ratchetness floating around somewhere inside of you... LoL... It's okay, boo... I promise... God knows your heart... Just be REAL about it... Accept it... Own it... ...

“It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one's acts.”  - Mahatma Gandhi It's been a minute, I know... Let me start by FIRST holding myself accountable for slacking up on my blogging "responsibilities"... LoL... For real, ya'll... Stuff has been kinda crazy, but that's no excuse for me to not provide you with my oh-so-realistic viewpoint on everyday living... Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's get down to the nitty-gritty... I hate for folks to throw rocks and hide their hands... I hate for folks to pass the blame all the damned time... I hate for folks to toss other folks under the bus because it's convenient for them...  I can't even front, I've done all of those things a time or two in my life time... Before I knew better... And when you know better, you what??? Do better... In my last blog, I talked about my move back to my hometown... Alot has happened since that last blog, my dear friends... ALOT......
