Daily Insight: Everything is Everything

It's really funny what can come up in conversation with drunken friends. My most recent funny experience was with my good friend Marcus. We were talking the usual shit that we talk...and as I often do when I'm feeling extra good thanks to a couple libations I asked the question I always ask "what is this life??"

Now of course its a rhetorical question I don't expect the person I'm asking to be Yoda or anything and have a real answer. When I thought about it a bit it dawned on me...

A wise man often says " mannnn everything is everything..." and that's exactly what it is! A simple way to look at life coming from a simple man. My Father of course probably is just conditioned to say this because he says it so often...but it really rings true to me. Why try to over analyze things you probably can't control anyway. Or try to understand everything...if we were supposed to live life that way I'm pretty sure i would have a 24/7 migraine from thinking too much.

I say all of this to say that no matter what happens guess what Everything will remain to be Everything....I know this cause I asked this question to myself many a drunken night :)

Daily Insight: It's Up To You

A wise man once said "these are the moments that turn into memories.." We all have the capacity to make the best out of every situation that we are put in in our lives. It's up to you to make every moment into those unforgettable memories.

Next time you are out with your friends don't just drink and sit around for the sake of saying you went out on a Friday night. Do something exciting that will make you walking around all night buying expensive ass drinks talking to strangers worth while. Next time you are at a family event don't just sit there and look at your weird ass family and wish you had another one! Cause guess what there's no exchanges. Create a soul train line and let your 91 year old grandfather go down it (at least that's what my family did).

Next time you're approached by a guy that is kinda creepy don't just shoot them down, give them your friends phone number instead of yours. That's always good for a laugh! Next time you're stuck in traffic bored..listening to the radio, call into that bitch and make up a funny story. Believe me it will be one of the funniest things you will ever do!

All of these things I have done to make the moments into my life memories I will never forget. Everyone goes through the motions of a day just to get to the next one. But there is no rules saying that you can't make that day and everyone after it something you'll remember forever. It's up to you though...

Daily Insight: Life is A Buffet

I was thinking about it yesterday and came up with the analogy that life is basically a buffet. Of course we all pay that one initial entrance fee, and then we can have whatever we want. The trick is to make sure you choose your courses wisely, and don't overfill your plate.

For example if you live your life with panties in a bunch all the time thinking everything is way more serious then it is...your may spend a little too much time in the steak/ carving section. No one is looking to spend their lives in a tux or prom dress, loosen up a bit you'll find it way more enjoyable.

If you spend most of your time in the chicken nuggets and french fries section you may be PEDDILY. Obviously I just made that word up but I mean by that being petty and childish. Everyone needs to grow up at one point and you should go ahead and start cause you're running a bit behind.

If you stay in the dessert section you may have your priorities a little backwards. I think that's pretty self explanatory.

I say this to say you can fill your plate up with whatever you damn well please because life will afford you many options. Choose wisely and don't overfill your plate...you know you can't do it all!
