Rambling Serenity

I like being here, for I recognize the value and power of this time. I feel very good as I am here. And as I see myself, I see myself as a sort of total package, one that I know is of my own creating, and certainly one of my choosing. I’m full of Energy, tireless, really, moving through life experience with no resistance. I see myself gliding about in this picture of self, moving in and out of my car, in and out of buildings, in and out of rooms, in and out of conversations, and in and out of life experiences. I am flowing effortlessly, comfortably and happily.

I see myself attracting only those who are in harmony with my current intent. And I’m becoming more aware of what I desire. When I get into my vehicle and I’m moving to a place, I see myself arriving at that place healthy, refreshed, and on time, and prepared for whatever it is that I’m about to do there. I see myself dressed to perfection in just the manner I choose.

And it’s nice to know that it does not matter what others are doing, or what others are thinking about what I’m doing. What is important is that I’m pleased with me. And as I see myself in this picture of self, I certainly am.

I recognize that I’m unlimited in (more…)

To boosey to be hood, to wild to be tamed, to cute to be gay, to broken to be straight. What am I? We constantly fight to not be labeled & put in a category, but what when your uncategorized life leaves you as the only of your kind? Your kind…How can there be a kind without a category? We refuse words and then recreate them with new ones. But I truly spiral in the middle having not enough ground to relate to anyone. To grounded to be lost, to lose to be found. Who am I?

It seems like as a society, Americans don’t like to talk about their PP’s (personal problems). Instead we try to tuck them away in the backs of our minds and force ourselves to believe that we’re the only ones dealing with the kinds of problems we have, but in reality so many of us are having the same issue and if we would only bring the subject up, we’d quickly see that we aren’t alone in our struggle.

For now, that issue is the lack of people in our lives that we can honestly call “friends”. How many of us have them?

Whether it’s a Saturday night and you have cabin fever or it’s a dead battery on a rainy deserted highway, having someone close by that you know you can always call to help meet your needs is one of the most beautiful things in the world! Unfortunately, SO many of us don’t have the luxury of saying we have people, not even one concrete person, who fits that description. Why not?

You know how they say you can never judge a person until you walk in their shoes? Well that definitely can be said about telephone representatives. Though their field of work stretches over large variations of customer service, the bottom line is only until after you’ve done it yourself will you truly understand it from their point of view…until then, you just might be one of those assholes they have to deal with everyday!

Telephone reps can cover so many different avenues:
* You got your Technical Support: which typically is the highest paying and most respected telephone service job because customers call YOU needed YOUR help.
* Then you got your standard Customer Service: which is a catch all job title for those involved in handling customers, their accounts and/or their orders.
* Telemarketing: (which is a beast) normally pays the least, has a high turnover rate because people quit all the time and is very emotionally abusive.
* And lastly you have (more…)

It’s been a minute since I came on and wrote a blog for you all (not knowing who “you all” are). Mainly because a lot of shit has been going down lately and 1) I haven’t had time to sit and write, but mainly because 2) I’ve been embarrassed and cautious about continuing to talk about my life, when it’s not so positive right now. I can only imagine how celebrities feel!

I’m by no means a celebrity. I don’t even know if I have ANY followers who read my blog on a regular basis! I just write for therapy and fun! haha But just knowing that what I write could be read makes me a little apprehensive about what I write, especially if it’s given people insights into the hardships of my personal life. As I said I can only imagine how celebrities feel, when ALL eyes are on them and their ever move, good or bad, is publically announced. But be it as it may, I started this journey and I am going to try my best to keep at it. Maybe by putting myself out there, others who experience similar can take comfort from knowing they are not alone.

So what’s been going on with me?

Well if you read A Week From Hell, you can start off with that! Since July 9th I’ve been (more…)

I never really thought about the seriousness of getting into a simple relationship until I watched an episode of House. In just one hour my entire view of commitments changed forever.

In the episode a man’s wife got sick and after several diagnoses they narrowed her sickness down to two causes, one cause by a STD. Come to find out, it was a STD that she got from an affair early on in the marriage. And though knowing that information saved her life and her husband was happy for her, he also left her, saying that she couldn’t possibly love him if she cheated even once early on in their marriage.

Now at first I thought he was being a little extreme. Thinking, “Come on now! She did it when yall FIRST got married. Yall had no foundation yet…didn’t know if you were gonna last forever, and you were still attracted to other people and that may cause you to stray.” Having my thinking so different from his cause me to look deeper at that topic and see if that’s how I really felt or not.

…and this is what I realized…

AHHHH! I feel like I’m living the life of Job. You know how one minute he was on top of the world and then the next everything that could go wrong, did? Yeah, I’m there!

For me it all started in early June…

1.
A couple weeks in I got a letter from DMV stating they needed proof of insurance for May 2009 when I actually didn’t have coverage and if I didn’t provide proof by the 18th my license would be suspended and I would owe $500 for a SR-22! So of course I quickly call Geico to see what my options were and they assured me that everything would be okay and that they would file the paperwork on my behind since I was currently insured.

At the end of June I had to renew my registration, but every time I tired online it kept telling me to call DMV. When I did they informed me that:
* They never received the paperwork,
* They had suspended my license,
* I couldn’t renew my registration,
* I had to file a SR-22 and pay $500, and
* I had to pay to get my license reinstated, which was another $80!
What! Are you kidding me?

…on top of that…

Back in the day, when God knows when, people’s parents decided who their children would marry. Today, just having your parents like who you’re dating will cause some to break up with them. But prearranged marriage actually had some things going for it, and I think eHarmony picked up on it!

Back then, parents chose their children’s mates primarily to secure or increase their fortunate by legally joining another wealthy family. Marrying for money is never a good thing, but if you think about a parent-child relationship, it’s easy to believe that a parent would take more things into consideration then just the money of their child’s mate.

1. Your parents want to see you happy.
2. Your parents know your core values and the things you like or dislike.
3. (And I would think that if you knew your parents were going to choose a mate for you…) You’d tell them the key qualities you’d like in a mate.

Today, when we date we normally go off of physical and material attraction. The ones with the best looks, biggest house, and nicest car get (more…)

“If you’re in a committee relationship and you cheat, should you tell your partner or take it to the grave?”

Many would say, without giving it a 2nd thought that you should confess. That a loving relationship is based on trust and honesty, and by withholding that information you slight your partner the right to choose whether they want to forgive and forget or not. While others would just as quickly say you shouldn’t confess because admitting that one time slip up could forever damage the trust in your relationship or even cause it to end when it could’ve remained happy if you hadn’t revealed such a secret.

Here’s what I think…

(*Disclaimer I am not condoning cheating. This blog is not about whether you should cheat or the factors that a person may face when deciding to cheat. This is strictly about the aftermath choices a person has once the act has already been committed and there’s no turning back. This also is a random blog of topic and does not necessarily reflect what I am going through in my relationship.)

It’s sad to say, but there’s really no simple yes or no answer. There’re drastic cons and beneficial pros for both people in each situation. So instead of trying to persuade you to one over another, I’m just providing the facts!
