Daily Insight: Beating Around The Bush

I’d like to consider myself pretty open, and honest and pretty much to the point. So I never quite understood when people tip toe around a subject like the damn Pink Panther. A wise man once said “stop beating around the bush and just cut the grass.” Now of course this wise man was a friend of mine, the source of most of my revelations in life.

If you are crushing on a biddie and you see said biddie a lot why are you over there living your life like Alcia Keys in the beginning of “You Don’t Know My Name.” Guess what they will never know your name unless you plan on wearing a nametag everyday. Go ahead and speak up, say something throw them a little glance or a half smile you’ll never know what will happen.

If you’re sitting at work everyday huffing and puffing cause you feel as though you’re doing everyone else’s work plus your own, what will making some smart remarks under your breath in your cube do?? You better speak up…closed mouths never get fed…Ace Hood said so.

If everytime you go to the Dominicans you leave with more grease in your hair than you came in with why aren’t you saying something to Mami. I’m quick to hit them with the “no grease” finger wave like Dikembe Mutumbo.

I say this to say nothing is ever going to be accomplished if you are constantly beating around that bush. You better get your weed wacker out and open your mouth.

Daily Insight: Fishing

The law of attraction is a pretty funny thing. We all know the phrase opposites attract, and of course some people just don’t mix. But I’m a firm believer you will always attract the kinds of people you are supposed to.

I feel as though throughout my life I have always befriended people that compliment me in so many different ways. After all you are the company that you keep. But I’m not going to spend too much time on that. You ever take a moment and step back and really think about why you’re always getting hollered at by the same old biddies? I mean the law of attraction says certain qualities in you should attract similar qualities in other people.

A wise man once said “all these fish in the sea and I keep putting my fishing pole in the same dirty ass pond.” I thought this was hilarious yet true. If you go fishing for a biddie in the same damn club every weekend you’re probably gonna catch a party animal on your line. If you go fishing for a biddie at your job you’ll probably find an awkward ass relationship on your line. If you go fishing for a biddie on the block you’ll probably find a whole lot of cash and not one ounce of credit. If you go fishing for a biddie at a damn Anthony Hamilton concert you may find a struggling artist with a dream but no motivation to make anything of it.

I’m saying if you find yourself with the same undesirable fish on your line maybe you should close up shop at that dirty ass pond and start fishing in the sea. I promise you’ll save yourself a lot of time not having to throw as many fish back.
