Just For Laughs

I really think this is one of the best celebrations that I've seen. If only I were this creative...

No Sleep

It has been one hell of a year since March. Concerts on top of concerts. Lakers. Vayla. Clubbin. Dinners. Friends. New job. All kinds of things. Some weeks have been steady and others have been more than I can handle. I hope by me talking about these things my readers don't feel like I'm complaining. I put this load on myself and I love every moment of it. Some things don't turn out to be a success like I want it to be but I like that I can file it in my records under "Life experience". I recently blogged about how I'm looking forward to the second half of the year since 2010 started off a bit rough for me and I can honestly say that it hasn't disappointed me yet. With everything that's going on, I don't have much time for sleep. It's the sacrifice that I take in order to fit everything in my schedule. One prime example is my adventure from this past weekend. I got home at 5 AM Sunday morning from Biloxi and got a little over an hour's worth of sleep to then wake up and wait in line at Borders for what turned out to be a glimpse of Drew Brees along with 3 autographed books. Another notable fact is that I've been to New Orleans 9 times in the span of 2 weeks for random things and have even been told more than once that I should just move to New Orleans and just commute to work in BR during the week. Funny right? I know that I thought long and hard about accepting this current position because I feared it would take away from my lifestyle that I've been spoiled with. Looks like I'm going to do just fine balancing everything and everyone. Well July is almost over and things are still in full swing. Pandas are getting their work out with YMCA summer league. My Church league team is on a winning start and I get to return to the team this Sunday. Myron's birthday is coming soon so happy early birthday to him.

Forgiveness

Sometimes we feel like time can help change a person. We assume that in that time frame, whether how long or short, that person can find the good in themselves that they once had. This is something that we all wish would be true for everyone. But the reality is that some people can't change, even if they want to. We are always looking to quickly forgive someone for their wrong doing. It's like we completely ignore all the shit that person has put us through and think they magically changed for a reason. We put the history, the friendship, the memories in our mind and it outweighs the pain that was once caused. When a person FINALLY leaves your mind, you're happy and having fun. Living the good life. But the moment that person pops back up, it's like we're sent on a roller coaster. More questions are asked now then ever before. Did they really change? Will it be a mistake if I don't forgive them? What if this, what if that? Seriously, aren't we the SAME person that just said we wouldn't take this person back no matter what a few months ago? And you see how quickly that feeling goes away? It's all part of human nature but we can't forget a few certain things. We must remember that we left this person for a reason. The relationship ended for a reason. If the relationship started off where they left someone to be with you, that alone should tell you what kind of person they are. Who knows though? Maybe they did change. But these are just a few things that people need to consider when going back to an ex. You don't want to be caught in a cycle over and over again. Break it. Whether make the rules or move on. It just sucks to have to see people go through this from time to time. They're the only one in control, no matter what anyone else says to persuade them.

Naturally 7

I've always heard about them since the last time Buble' came to Nola. They're even better than what I've heard about them. This was the song that I heard when I was walking to my seat, couldn't be a better song to listen to.
