END OF AN ERA

WELL...AFTER 400 POSTS AND COUNTLESS TIMES TALKING ABOUT ENDING THIS BLOG OR CHANGING OVER TO SOMETHING ELSE... GUESS WHAT... ITS FINALLY HAPPENING. THIS WILL OFFICIALLY BE THE VERY LAST POST THAT I WILL EVER WRITE. I CANT BELIEVE I KEPT THIS THING GOING FOR MORE THAN 7.5 YEARS... ITS BEEN QUITE A RUN... THIS THING STARTED OFF STRONG AND WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL, AND THEN IT JUST GOT KILLED BY TIME. OH THERES GEMS HERE AND THERE BUT SOMETIMES THE POSTS ARE JUST SAD... LITERALLY SAYING NOTHING, YOU KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT TOO. SO MANY POSTS WERE FORCED JUST SO I CAN KEEP THAT ONE A WEEK POST GOING. I HAVE SO MANY TOPICS THAT I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT BUT EITHER ITS HARD TO WRITE, TOO LONG TO WRITE, JUST DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT, TIRED, OR WHATEVER THE REASON WAS AT THAT MOMENT. I REALLY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY KEPT UP AND READ ALL THESE POSTS. I KNOW THERES A HANDFUL OF YOU, AND AFTER THE LAST POST I REALIZED THERES A FEW MORE. HOWEVER... THERE WOULD BE MORE READERS IF I DIDNT TYPE IN ALL CAPS FOR THE WHOLE DAM THING LOL. SOMETHING ABOUT ME SCREAMING AT EVERYONE OR IT BEING HARD TO READ... WHO KNOWS LOL. EVERYONE THAT I KNOW WHO BLOGGED AND EVEN JUST RANDOM PAGES THAT YOU GO TO MOST OF THEM HAVE STOPPED AS WELL. ITS HARD TO WRITE, ITS EASY BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS HARD. IVE FLOATED THE IDEA OF A YOUTUBE CHANNEL BUT THAT TAKES EVEN MORE TIME AND EFFORT AND WOULD BE A BIGGER PRODUCTION, AND I ALREADY DONT EVEN WANT TO WRITE THE BLOG, SO HOW WOULD I MAKE VIDEOS... LOL... IVE LEARNED A LOT OVER THE PAST YEARS BLOGGING AND ITS FINALLY TIME TO MOVE ON, TIME FOR A CHANGE. EVEN WITH ALL THAT SAID IL NOW BE STARTING UP A PODCAST!!! SO NO MORE READING POSTS AND IMAGINING MY VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD, NOW YOU CAN LITERALLY LISTEN TO ME TALK AT ANYTIME YOU WANT!!! NOT MANY PEOPLE READ ANYMORE BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO PODCASTS, SO I FIGURED YOU KNOW WHAT... LETS SEE HOW THIS GOES. THE PODCAST OFFICIALLY START NEXT WEEK... LETS SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS... COULD IT GO FOR ANOTHER 7.5 YEARS... WITH WEEKLY EPISODES... THAT WOULD BE QUITE IMPRESSIVE LOL. I GUESS THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND YOU, AND THATS TO GO AND LISTEN!!! THE LINK IS BELOW, SO GO AND BOOKMARK IT NOW!!! LOL

AFTER 30

YOU KNOW... THERE REALLY IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN YOUR 20S AND YOUR 30S... I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND LOOK BACK AT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. JUST THE WAY I USE TO BE COMPARED TO NOW IS SO DIFFERENT. THE WAY YOU THINK, THE WAY YOU ACT, THE WAY YOU JUST ARE. YOU KNOW YOURE GOING TO GROW UP SOONER OR LATER, BUT YOU DONT REALLY NOTICE IT, MAYBE YOU DO, BUT WHEN A SIMILAR SITUATION COMES UP FROM WHEN YOURE YOUNGER AND NOW YOU REACT DIFFERENTLY YOU REALLY NOTICE IT. YOURE MORE GROWN UP NOW, AND MORE MATURE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO REACT THE SAME WAY BUT YOU REALIZE WHY WOULD YOU. LIKE SITUATION THAT I WOULD USE TO REACT TO OR WOULD TEST MY PATIENCE, NOW I JUST DONT BOTHER ANYMORE. I TEND TO JUST LET IT GO NOW, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON SOMETHING SO STUPID. HOW ABOUT GOING OUT... I USE TO GO OUT ALL THE TIME, PARTIES WERE NOTHING. I HAVENT GONE PARTYING IN A WHILE, BUT EVEN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT SOMETIMES MAKES ME TIRED. USE TO HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY, NOW I JUST WANT TO NAP LOL. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I USE TO BE LOUD. IVE TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE, THAT BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS VOTED THE LOUDEST PERSON IN SCHOOL. THESE DAYS SURE I CAN BE LOUD IF I HAVE TO, BUT GENERALLY IM PRETTY QUIET. IT JUST TAKES TOO MUCH TO BE LOUD. BEFORE I WOULD JUST SAY WHATS ON MY MIND, NEVER CARED WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT. I STILL DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK, BUT NOW I FILTER WHAT I SAY MORE. ITS JUST TOO MUCH WORK TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION SOMETIMES AND THEN THERES JUST NOT CARING AND YOU JUST WANT THE CONVERSATION TO END. THERES JUST SO MUCH MORE BETWEEN 20S AND 30S. JUST LOOK HOW YOU USE TO DRESS AND NOW. IF I REALLY WANTED TO THIS WOULD BE A LONG LIST BUT YOU GET MY POINT. 20S YOU CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND AFTER 30 YOU JUST DONT CARE OR GIVE A F ANYMORE.

HOLY CRAP!!! THIS IS POST #400!!! THATS A POST A WEEK FOR OVER 7.5 YEARS!!! CONGRATS TO ME AND TO MANY MORE... MAYBE... LOL

MISTAKES

YOU KNOW... FOR ONCE I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING A TOPIC TO WRITE ABOUT. ACTUALLY, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HAVING TOO MANY THINGS THAT I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT. THE ISSUE IS THAT I REALLY DONT WANT TO WRITE ABOUT ANY OF THEM. NOT BECAUSE IM LAZY OR TIRED, BUT BECAUSE IM NOT IN THE RIGHT MOOD TO WRITE ABOUT THEM. ITS QUITE FUNNY REALLY... I ACTUALLY CHANGED THE TOPIC OF THIS POST A COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY AND STILL NOT REALLY SURE IF THIS IS GOING THE WAY I WANT IT TO GO. SO... LETS GIVE THIS A SHOT AND LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS...

NOPES... CHANGED TOPICS A FEW MORE TIMES...

SO HERES ONE THING THAT THOSE WHO KNOW ME KNOWS, THAT IM NEVER WRONG AND NEVER MAKE MISTAKES. IF I DO, FIRSTLY I DONT ADMIT IT. SECONDLY THE REASON IM NEVER WRONG OR MAKE MISTAKES IS THAT EVERYTHING IS A LESSON AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE. EVERYTHING IS A TRIAL AND EXPERIMENT. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. YOU CANT BE WRONG IF YOU CHANGE WHAT IT IS TO BEING RIGHT. YOURE ONLY WRONG IF YOU LET YOURSELF BE WRONG. IF YOU ADMIT YOURE WRONG THEN YOURE WRONG. IF YOU LET YOUR MISTAKES DEFINE YOU, THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE. YA, IM GOING TO GET A LOT OF PEOPLE FIGHTING AND ARGUING THIS, BUT THINK ABOUT IT. IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE. ITS THE SAME THING AS THE WHOLE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL IDEA. PERCEPTION IS A POWERFUL THING. HOWEVER YOU VIEW A SITUATION LEADS TO HOW YOU REACT AND WHAT YOU TAKE FROM ANY SITUATION. SO WHY NOT TAKE THE BEST FROM EACH AND EVERY INSTANCE INSTEAD OF BEING PULLED DOWN BY THE WRONG AND MISTAKES? LIFE REALLY IS TOO SHORT TO HOLD ON TO ALL THE NEGATIVE. THERES SO MUCH MORE THAT CAN BE SAID FOR THIS, BUT I THINK ITS A GOOD SPOT TO STOP. SO GO OUT THERE AND BE RIGHT!

THAT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD. IF YOU DONT AGREE THEN TOO BAD, YOURE WRONG AND YOU MADE A MISTAKE :)
