Daily Insight: "Na Because"

So as I sit on this plane the size of a clown car on my way back from my second business trip and 4th state in 2 weeks I have come to yet another conclusion....
2011 is not the year of "na because" and when I say "na because" I mean no excuses. "Na because" is a bullshit artists way of saying I'd love to do these things but I'm holding myself back.


I made a resolution for myself this past new years and no it wasn't to start eating more veggies, or stop drinking or anything like that..it was to take a trip a month for the entire year of 2011. And I've fulfilled my resolution thus far. When I get off this plane I'll be turning around and flying to Vegas for the weekend to wyle the desert out with my friends.

Now I know not everyone is in a position to do things like that in their lives but the point of 2011 not being the year of "na because" is to realize life is too damn short to make 7272773 excuses when there's something you really wanna do.

It doesn't cost anything to just straight up and down kick it, or to let that biddie spend his money on dinner and drinks for you, or you to do whatever your heart desires. So next time that opportunity arises I damn sure better not hear y'all saying "na because"

Daily Insight: Setting Up Shop

Anyone that knows me knows I am a big daydreamer, my mind tends to wander off a lot. And anyone that knows me knows I am also very granola as my friends like to classify it. Meaning I love me a good love song, romantic comedy ect ect, now don’t get me wrong I’m not up burning incense and writing poetry but who doesn’t appreciate a damn good love song?

Only problem with the combination of the two tends to get a bit hectic. Now imagine you’re at your desk minding you business on a Wednesday afternoon and that one song comes on that gets your mind wandering. That can cause what I’ve classified as swan diving into your feelings. I mean straight up listening to a song that takes you back to specific situation, person, ect.

This may not always be bad thing but all I am going to say is once you’re in your feelings don’t set up shop. Meaning, don’t let that thought or memory of a person or situation have you rocking back and forth singing “Unbreak My Heart” all day.

Memories are good and of course we all are going to slip back into those feelings. I know I have, it’s a slippery slope, but just remember whether you accidentally slip back in or cannon ball into them joints don’t stay too long. Cause there’s no room in the past for the future.
