Daily Insight: Seasoned

Every now and again..well let me be more specific every 5 minutes or a thought pops into my mind that makes me chuckle to myself. And sometimes when I think it’s extra funny I’ll share it with whomever I am around. As my friends and I were driving down I95 on our way to homecoming a conversation we had caused a thought to pop into my head.

A wise man once said “they call me a young Phil Jackson in the hood cause I’m seasoned in the game.” Now for those of you who do not have your sarcasm decoder on hand Phil Jackson is the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, and has been since BC time. I am saying this to say that no matter what you do in life make sure that you have some type of experience.

If you are the type to bust into splits mid-air on a moving party bus make sure you have done such an act before…if not the result can get quite messy. If you are the type to check through your significant others phone while he or she is asleep at least make sure you know the code so you don’t lock the phone completely entering a wrong passcode 6 times. If you know you have to stare at an excel sheet and do vLookup’s all day for your job at least know a tutorial website you can go to when you forget how to do that joint. If you’re someone who constantly exaggerates the truth make sure you tell two people who might compare notes a similar story…otherwise that ven diagram can be looking a little shaky and you can look like a liar. If you have to miss work cause you can’t let your friends have all the fun on a popping ass weekend make sure you have a full fledged excuse on deck…in case you were wondering the “family emergency” line works everytime.
If you are the type to dip off all the time just make sure you have a way to get your ass home in the morning cause I ain't bringing you back. And if you have the cajones to borrow an entire bottle of Grey Goose from your table at the club make sure you play it off cool enough to not draw attention to the huge lump under your coat ;).

Not everyone is going to be an expert at everything…all I am saying is whatever you find yourself doing make sure they call you a young Phil Jackson in the hood.
