? do you have a positive or negative balance of Work & Play

It's a very delicate balance and sometimes can be unreachable for some. everyone would love to do leisure activities all day, but unfortunately we have these things called bills that get in the way.. Now all play and no work will have you broke as hell pretty fast. but all work and no play will have you lonley as hell. purchasing cats and shit.. so which way should you lean towards? because it is possible to have more play than work and still pay your bills.. the best line i ever heard 50 Cent say was 'you'll fall backwards if your chasing a bitch. stupid, chase the paper they come with the shit'.. i use that quote more figuratively than literally, but either way it makes perfect sense and that's how true grinders work everyday.. i have never seen a person go wrong by working too hard, but i have seen many people go wrong by playing too hard.. but the true question is, what is your definition of hard work? For some it's working enough to pay your bills. and for others just paying your bills isn't enough for you and you want more. and for those who want more less play is required, but it equals out because when you do play you get to experience the best toys the world has to offer.. there are so many things these days to get into as far as entertainment in America that you can get caught up not putting your mind to construtive use. so often that when you really need it to help you progress in life it won't be able to repond to certain challenges.. The ideal situation is to have a career that you love so you're always enjoying yourself. but even then business has to be taken care of.. so if your ever in doubt of whether or not your balance is positive or negative. the next time your partying or having fun, ask yourself if that is the most fun you could be having.. and if it isn't, then you have more work to do... what do you think?

? do you understand the Meanings of Colors

They're everywere and represent more than just some damn decorations. colors subconsciously make decisions for you more than you would ever think. the human mind is so complex but yet so simple. colors are the basis for the marketing that's all around you. did you think that McDonalds made they're logo red and yellow because those are Ronald Mcdonalds favorite colors? well if you did you would be wrong. red and yellow in combination are colors that make you subconsciously hungry.. thank me later.. blue represents peace and trust, that's why you wear it to job interviews and first impressions. red reps love, energy, and danger. pretty much the characteristic combination that equals sex. black reps power, elegance, and of coarse mourning. purple reps royalty, mystery, arrogance. green reps health, environment, generosity. yellow reps optimism, joy, but also cowardice so be careful with it. and white reps cleanliness, humility, and also marriage.. Now don't begin predicating the colors you wear based off of your mood for the day. but understand that colors do mean more than just a fly outfit.. No matter what clothes you buy put a diverse range of colors in your wardrobe and see how your accepted. people subconsciously warm up to others who have a sense of color, not fashion (but i'll get to that in another blog) but color.. So if your down in the dumps about something put on brighter colors and see if you don't feel just a little bit better during the day.. And don't pay attention to that rediculous rule about not wearing white after Labor Day. that was more than likely something a hater invented because someone wearing white was looking flyer than them... what do you think?

? are you an Educated Voter

Do you know the differences between John McCain and Barak Obama? not just the fact that one is black and the other is white. i'm talking about the differences in the policies they want to instill upon becoming President.. I was speaking to a younger voter (24) who isn't sure which candidate she is going to vote for. she was leaning toward Obama but she doesn't agree with his wanting to pull out of Iraq and end the war.. her reasoning was because if we leave Iraq we wouldn't be safe in the U.S.. she was assuming the fact that planes haven't flow through tall buildings in the last 7 years is because we went to war.. then i presented to her the fact that the people who attacked us have nothing to do with Iraq and reside in Afganistan and Pakistan, and she replied by stating 'they're all the same'.. If you are misinformed or watch Fox News with Bill O'Reilly you would think that Afganistan and Iraq are very close countries and are the same. when the fact of the matter is that the distance from both countries is roughly the same distance from New York City to Miami Beach.. I couldn't believe that she was so misinformed and I bet she represents millions, yes i said millions that don't have the correct facts and have a right to vote. the shit is very scary.. Mis-information plus power has lead to some of the worst acts in the history of the world. I don't think people understand how important one single vote is. we have so much power and don't even realize it. and with power comes a great deal of responsibility to get the facts for yourself, and to get them right. don't rely on the news media, friends, and family to cast your vote for you.. Voting is a right. but if abused other rights will be taken away... what do you think?

? if you knew the political Affiliation of your favorite public figures, would it Change the way you feel about them

What if Lil Wayne was voting republican because he's rich and didn't want his taxes cut. or Tony Romo was voting democrat in a republican overhaul state like Texas.. would they lose fans? with 28 days until election day i'm starting to notice our society picking sides and people are affiliating more with those who are voting the way they are. with the daily smeers by both McCain and Obama building resentment in the hearts of the opposition, there harsh words are causing citizens to mean mug each other.. Most celebrities don't divulge there political affiliation due to the fears of the question i presented. but should it even matter? I don't think it should. but the way you vote says alot about you and what you stand for, and i don't support bullshit and that's what one of the candidates is all about.. so i guess it does matter to me. the differences in the candidates are so different that this is the first election in at least a decade where there really is not an independent voter. your either clearly for one side or the other.. so by supporting either candidate your saying so much about yourself.. Matt Damon has received roughly 2.5 million views on youtube of his verbal bashing of Sarah Palin where he refers to her running for v.p as a 'bad Disney movie'.. he's going to lose some fans for that. but on the other hand he will gain some for his speaking out. so i guess it will even it's self out.. But i commend him for speaking his mind and taking the risk, because eventually the political bullshit must be straightened out... what do you think?

? have you ever solved an issue with Anger

I just got jacked! john doe or maybe even jane doe broke into my car and stole some things.. i've become numb to issues such as these because life is unexpectedly cruel at times and we must understand that.. but i got mad as hell because i don't like people playing with my shit!....... see that burst of anger that i just displayed. i still don't have my ipod or the rest of the things that were taken, so why am i putting that much energy toward the situation? Getting angry is part of being human and everyone is entitled to feeling that way. but just because it's an emotion doesn't mean it has to be displayed and it doesn't have to consume you.. I think anger takes more out of you mentally and physically than any other emotion, and nothing ever comes out of getting angry except an apology or a fine.. situations don't change because of the amount of anger that you have inside or display to others.. a simple curse word here or there never hurt anyone. but taking that anger and making it the sole catalyst for the solution to an issue is just reckless and very weak minded. self defense is self defense, but anger is premeditated therefore can be controlled.. understand that there is nothing wrong with expressing the anger your feeling either. you just have to figure out a way to get your point across minus the emotion which is very tough but that's what we call maturity.. Being mentally strong is more important than any physical strength you could ever gain. the ability to remain focused on what is truely important in life is something that most people honestly can't do. or won't do.. I had to take a step back and put my situation into perspective minus the fact that some dumbass decided to help him/her self.. getting an outlet while angry is very important also. i go to the gym and workout.. but you choose something that will get your mind off of the issue, and improve yourself in the process.. So the next time you get angry at someone or a situation take a step back and think about the bigger picture. because there is no situation on earth that is larger than the bigger picture... what do you think?
