SOHH Over It!

Chicken Soup

February 15, 2008 dig

So Im unemployed, broke, just had to cut off my regular ‘contractor’, this is the first full week in a month that I havent been sick with something, and I aint jumped out a window yet.

To be honest, Im quite content.  Yes, I have had a bad day or two in the last two weeks since shit went to hell on a Harley, but for the most part, Im great.  I usually hate Valentines Day (for some of the reasons CJP stated yesterday and many more) but yesterday was one of the good ones.  It wasnt good because I got stuff (though I did LOL) but because the best gift I received was one I gave to myself.

I went to my cousin’s wedding, then came home and lit every candle in the house, drank some wine, listened to the quiet storm and reflected on a lotta shit that I should have been taken a look at a long time ago.  Not in terms of things needing correcting but more things that needed understanding.  At the end of it, I felt a thousand pounds lighter.  And the Peabo Bryson four play didnt hurt either LOL.

I just think people spend too much time and energy feeling sorry for themselves.  On Valentines Day or any other day, your circumstances are only as bad as you make em.  I gotta be in the worst position of anyone I know right now, but probably complain the least.  Life is too short to be stressing about dumb shit and worrying about things outside of your control.  If I aint shot up a highway by now with the last two months I’ve been through, NOBODY should be.  So since nobody had a blog up today, I figured I would just kick some of you in the ass and tell you stop sweating the small stuff.  Be glad you woke up this morning.  Sometimes hard times seem to drag on forever, but keep things in perspective.  They tend to work themselves out.

Peace.

    Shit is stressful right now, but as you said, it could be much worse, so I do feel pretty happy.

    The sun is shining, today is payday, i have a pottery date, and my brows are done… life is pretty good…

    Optimism can be hard though if your focus is in the wrong place. Sometimes a person just needs to get their mind right.

    The phone date wasnt intended, but neither one of us was doing anything else so what was suppose to be a 5 minute check-in turned into ‘oh shit, you a capricorn? im a scorpio!’

    @Willy, Jae & Persia formly known as Jaz

    Im loving this Jason Kidd deal this shit is fucking funny

    Devin George has now said he will rescind his Early Bird rights and not block the deal

    but wait its not over…….

    Jerry Stackhouse is fucking the deal up now
    Mav had an under the table deal to send him to new jersey
    NJ would buy him out and after 30 days the Mav would get him back for the league minimum.
    during the 30 days he can be picked up off waiver wires. Doing this on purpose violates the collective Bargain Agreement.
    But Stackhouse who was supposed to keep his mouth shut. Told the media he’s going on a 30 day vacation in prep for the playoff’s. Fucking dumb ass. So now the league won’t approve any deal with Stackhouse in it.
