D.I.Y LIFE!

Today's Inspiration: Reality Broads, Specifically Love and Hip Hop New York






I know, I know, here we go right?!  But I think you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find in the next few lines!

Most anybody who knows me knows my opinions of reality tv.  I don't entertain it on a regular basis, as a matter of fact, it's a distraction from the real world and what's in it.  I'm too busy tryna make my life and the lives of my children something worth living to consume myself with the goings on of complete strangers.  For the life of me, I couldn't understand the ratchet fascination.  I recently sat down and watched the most current season of Love and Hip Hop New York in its entirety to try and grasp the intoxication of this phenomena.  

I must say, I did discover something very interesting, and was pleasantly surprised.

Let me go ahead and silence these ratchet hoe lovers by saying that its still a H.A.M and pitiful representation of Blacks in the entertainment world.  DON'T GET IT TWISTED!  I decided to address it like a study of some wild animal, take a scientific approach.  I was determined to find value in this minstrel show.  And Guess what....I sure did!

What I discovered, is the real reason these people subject themselves to constant scrutiny.  These people are taking a D.I.Y approach to their lives, or at least we are giving them the benefit of the doubt at this very moment and say that's what is going on.  We can extract this deeper meaning from observation of the show, because each character functions in their own little sphere, focused only on the things that further individual agendas.  This is why the interactions are so explosive, there's no regard for how these actions effect those that surround them.

I admire the tenacity, I abhor the recklessness.

It seems the characters lack humanity, yet when they display any type of emotion, it's very intense.  They are completely incapable of recognizing how their own actions has led them to their current circumstances and immediately begin devising a plan even more foolish than its predecessor.  Some of these people are completely incapable of forming real human connection and keep people in their lives as a means to an end. 

ANDROIDS!

Take the good, the tenacity, the drive, the initiative from the Infotainment elite, not the utter disdain and disregard for others.  Of course I know this is going to be impossible for the masses, as they thrive on the ignorance being emulated, but in order to retain some semblance of a Soul, I suggest you try.  Recognize ignorance is everywhere and does not need to be fabricated and displayed on Television, a simple conversation at work can supply all the filth you need.  Stop looking at BS, GET MONEY!

Crystals and Couture

  Those just might be my 2 favorite C words known to man!  With the start of a new year, it's only right I acquire a little bit of both!  I've had my eyes peeled for the past few weeks for all of the best sales; I had my heart set on a new piece of Rainbow Tourmaline and Rose Quartz(see below for crystal properties and uses if you aren't familiar!).  At the same time, I have also been dreaming of some new bags; crossbodys and a satchel, to be specific; a little on the fancy side though.  All of my work was not in vain because guess what?!  Marshall's is now carrying Badgley Mischka handbags and wallets-mike drop...but it gets even BETTER-not one item is priced over $29.99!!  Wait, What?!  Yes Please!!  Amazon has 1 lb of Raw Rainbow Tourmaline AND Rose Quartz for under $15.00.  I also came across a National Geographic Rock Polisher for $39.99!!  Your girl is absolutely THRILLED!!  What crystals do you have your eye on?!  Have you guys come up on any superstar purse deal

You Only Owe YOURSELF

I had an epiphany the other day... What if we put all the energy we expel on others that is foolishly wasted BACK into ourselves, our life dreams, and into creating the world we CHOOSE to live in??!! Before we all become hopelessly selfish and self-involved, re-read, and take in the thought in its ENTIRETY!!!  I am talking SPECIFICALLY in instances where your positive energy, time, and effort are not being reciprocated. There are so many situations we find ourselves in to which we develop an animosity of sorts towards those we are actively trying to help when we don’t feel that same energy being returned to us in one form or another.  Yet, we are taking umbridge with the wrong individual.  The person we should be focusing those feelings is right there waiting on the other side of the mirror.  That is who entangled you and your resources to an individual making moves to which your higher self is not in agreement.  This is who we should look to for explanation and a game

Being Present

This Moment, the one happening right now, is ALL that there is.  Allow me to explain... Yes, there is a past, things that have already happened.  What must be understood about these events is, once they happen, they are OVER.  It's gone.  If it is any point in time that you are not actively engaged in, that point does not currently exist.  The principle is also works on the inverse; anything that has yet to occur, has yet to come into existence , and should have absolutely NO bearing on what is currently happening to you. Our past is a experienced-based tool from which to learn and grow FORWARD.  It is not meant to trap us or the people in our lives, preventing our best lives from being brought to fruition.  If there is something behind you, LET IT GO.  Grasp the lesson and understand that there is no going back.  On the same note, we must also do the same when it comes to anticipation of events yet to come.  Being wrapped up in anxiety of how something MAY play out
