Wish people came with labels so I knew which one was which!

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Cancer Sucks!

I have known way too many people who have been attacked by this disease.
It took my grandpa Joe and my grandpa Bud. It has taken a friend or 2.
I have known way too many people who have had to fight this shitty disease!
I know people who are fighting it everyday.
It never ceases to knock the wind out of me when I find out someone I know and love tells me they have it.
Sending lots of love and healing prayers to EVERYONE who is fighting/recovering from this shitty shitty disease!!
Life is crazy and short. Don't forget to take time to enjoy your family, friends and the sweet simple things in life!

53 days till college football....

July is brutal for me sports wise. I am not going to lie!!
So, YES I am counting down the days until the LSU/OREGON game at Cowboys stadium.
I am hoping my house is FULL of LSU fans. I am so excited to have my entire Baton Rouge crew in town.
No, my liver can not keep up with the amounts of alcohol these friends drink. But I like to pretend.
I have a BLAST any and every time any combo of this group comes into town.
There is something about them I just can't explain.
PURE GREATNESS are the only words that come to my mind.
Some of the most down to earth, genuine, wonderful and fantastic people you will ever meet.
They FUCKING LOVE football. Maybe that is why I love them so much!
They LOVE to drink. I seriously CAN NOT keep up. Unless I know I am not driving then I will attempt to keep up.
The last time I went drink for drink with them I had a hang over for 2 days!
But what a fucking amazing New Years Eve.
Anywho.... 53 days and 23 hours until kick off at Cowboys Stadium.
*fingers crossed* that I can round up some tickets to the game.

Hope your summer is fantastic!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

So MUCH going on...

I feel like I am being pulled in a million directions. All good things. But overwhelming none the less.
There are so many opportunities in my life. I am attempting to tackle all of them.
One little set back I think I need and extra 3 incomes to handle EVERYTHING I want to do.
But I guess if it is meant to be it will all work out!!
I need to quit blogging and go tackle the TO DO list but my motivation is feeling overwhelmed today.

Im going to Home Depot to clear my head.

Happy Hump Day!

Have I mentioned that they always call again?

So, I blogged earlier this year about men and their ability to disappear off the face of the earth only to resurface at some random point in time. Proving my point that they always call again.
Well, this asshole called again. There was never a romantic thing between us. But I thought a great friendship as well as a working relationship.
This man had written me off since September of last year.  No idea what I did but it was to the point that his wife defriended me on Facebook. Just really petty shit.
Then Monday my phone rings. I look at the caller idea and about drove off the road.
I answer and he starts talking like we had a conversation last week.
So, fucking out of the blue and random. WHY did he call you ask... Because he needed something! SHOCKER! So, his MO.
I played nice.
But I am taking it all with a grain of salt.
I have NO expectations. He is still a user. He will always be a user.
I will never trust anything he says.
Oh well makes me laugh so that is a bonus.
Anywho-
my little brother is in town for about 36 hours for some private kicking lessons. He is already kicking better after only 2 hours.
YAY maybe I will get a college football player out of him yet.
Have a GREAT weekend!!
OXOXOXOXOX

SIDE NOTE: several weeks later.... He got the info he wanted and has disappeared AGAIN just like I knew he would! :) Sometimes it sucks hoping for the best in people only to find out they are a bigger disappointment than you thought they were!

Football & Music

The thing that bothers me most about football and music is the same exact thing.

No one is allowed to "DEVELOP".

Coaches aren't allowed to develop teams or players. Record labels aren't allowed or dont take the time/money to develop artists with talent.

The coaches are expected to put a team on the field that will win immediately.

The record labels are expected to put out an act that sells a million record right off the bat.

There is absolutely NO time/room for error.

I HATE IT!

I hate it in football and I hate it in music.

The country music industry keeps pouring new acts into the mix and they all look/sound the same. It is so frustrating and annoying. Some of them can not sing they are just "pretty" .

Football coaches take a solid 5 years to just get a team that is FULL of players that he and his staff recruited/drafted and hand picked for his coaching system and philosophy.

I need the world to slow down and QUIT expecting "INSTANT" success.

I blame the internet for MUST HAVE NOW attitude for our society as well as a whole generation of youth who act like they are entitled to anything and everything.

I don't know how we fix it. We need old school AD's/team owners in place to stand behind their coaches.

I need record labels who give a shit about their artists and when they sign a deal with them they give them the label support they promise.

Once I figure out how to fix both these problems I will let the powers that be know.

Then I will dig in and help some TALENTED artists succeed instead of these pay for airplay auto tune puppets.

Pet Peeves!

Things that drive me absolutely CRAZY!

Mini Vans and the idiots who drive them.

Seriously don't let your 18 thousand kids put stickers on EVERY effin window then MAYBE you could see when switching lanes.

People who can not merge on to the highway. Use the gas peddle it is the LONG ONE ON THE RIGHT it makes your car GO!

Out of state drivers.... In Texas we drive FAST! VERY VERY FAST!

The left lane we go 15-20 miles over the speed limit. The middle lane we 10-15 miles over. The right lane we go no less that 5-10 miles over the speed limit. So, if you want to survive on the highways please keep up with the flow of traffic or get the hell off the road!

People who come into the store and let their kids run around like wild banshees! They drop stuff the parents ignore them. They erase chalk boards parents ignore them. They terrorize my dog their parents ignore them. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR KIDS OR ELSE!

Fake people.

Rude people.

Stupid people.

Negative people.

I have more but talking about them is wearing me out!

Stay positive people it is a contagious vibe there needs to be more positivity in the world!
