It's not what it's all about...

If you're like others who wonder why I don't post that often, then I feel you're missing the point of this or any other blog. The intent I wish to continue to maintain focuses on key points, not day to day items.

I could easily babble on about my foot hurting, work, Racquetball, whatever, but what VALUE does that bring to my life and more importantly, yours?

Let's take that key fact and focus on it for a second. When do we stop in life and truly think about things we do, people we associate with, or more simplistic, things we buy. Impulse buys are everywhere at the front of your register in your local grocery store. It all comes down to one thing, convenience.

Now if you open up this grocery store metaphor to everyday life, they say you're supposed to walk the perimeter of the store in order to only buy fresh, processed foods.

If you only walk the perimeter, then you'd possibly miss out on a lot of opportunities, in life as well. Make sure you know the whole picture, all the items in the store, before leaving and making your purchases final.

Unlike a grocery store, there are many items in life you simply can't "return or exchange".

More importantly, you only walked into the store with a set amount of money, so as you're scanning the store for what you want to purchase, make sure you stop and think what VALUE it brings into your life.

If a person brings you harm, why would you keep them in your life? If you're purchasing food, why would you put bread in with bleach?

It baffles me as to why we feel it sometimes so easy to let another person bag our groceries. Does he have your best interests at heart? Does he care if you live, die, or if your groceries make it home in one piece? No, and you should always remember to think of number one as well.

So why then do we allow someone else to bag our groceries. Not just because we paid the store to pay him! We could save money by not having baggers. It all comes down to convenience.

So my last question to you, if you have these conveniences in your life...the necessities you're purchasing...but the bleach gets in the bread without you noticing...you drink it and get sick, what was the VALUE in the first place, and was it ever worth it?

Just next time, think of number one, always be aware, and rethink the VALUE of all of life's conveniences.

A Journey Through Empty Heads

Today we were sharing really funny stories about our drunken party moments, and I of course went to the time when I was at a "Beat the Clock" night where drink prices raised every half hour. It was Christmas time on a Tuesday and had to work in the morning. Drew and Akivia were with me, and I got really drunk where I ended up doing the worm and being ridden like a bull by this girl. I got up off the floor, hand all black with dirt, and tried to high five Drew who said, "Elbow Keith, lets elbow". I had a "Hangover" moment where they lost me until noon the next day. I ended up waking up at 6 am in my ex's parking lot. Went home, passed out until noon and had a TON of calls. Epic night, but was upset that they had lost track of me.

Anyways, I am frustrated and confused because I'm always nice to people, yet I get continually stepped on. It's happening as I type this. We're not talking about a little abuse, but HUGE. If I'm nice enough to help you out, shouldn't you be nice enough to be kind and aware? How about at least putting out dammit! LoL jk, but anyways, I'm a big believer in Karma and hope that my positive influence in others' lives will eventually come back to me.

I guess the main frustration is, where did people and their minds go? Are we all this clueless and stupid in life? Do we not think about what we're going to wear out? How our comments as innocent as they may be affect other people?

Earlier I spoke on my Facebook about a situation where I knew my suspicions might be true. I lent out my place to a friend who needs a place to stay for a while to get back on his feet. He invited someone over while I was at work! I was furious! That's disrespectful and I don't know who he is. That just kills me. That's the quickest way to pissing me off.

Wow and now I'm hearing porn from his phone??? WTF!! I might just burst a blood vessel in my brain over this insanity! The best part, he'll be out before the end of this month, just in time for the madness of Gay Days. I'm thinking of throwing a party that week. Thoughts?

Just the beginning...

So not only have I decided l actually keep a blog, I start it at the most interesting time of my life right now. You might think, yeah, we all got lives, but wouldn't reading someone else's craziness be just an escape from your own issues? In a way, I felt like making a blog of my own would be like escaping from my own life. I'm not kidding you when I say that there is absolute craziness everywhere I turn.

I always said I need to keep a journal or write a book. Here we go, over the next while, I'll tell you all about the times where I just want to have dinner and end up giving the heimlich, is that how you spell, eh whatever, this is the internet.

Moments seem to follow me everywhere I go and I needed an outlet. We don't remember the days, but we remember the moments.

I'm exhausted, out of all days to start a blog, I do it on a day where I felt like I might pass out in the shower. Eh such is life. And now.......good night.
