Don't fall for the fake, Don't Reject the Real

Friends are something that everyone needs in their lives to remain sane. Some may feel like the more friends you have the better. Others may feel like if you have an abundance of friends you will accumulate more drama in your life. One task that is hard for me to do is find REAL friends. People can make it seem as if they are genuinely your friends and can talk about you to your back as if your nothing to them. People can be influenced by others lookin in from the outside and are jealous of the relationship you hold. Or the friend can be influenced so easily that their perspective on things will change at a snap of a finger. I feel like friendship isn’t defined by how many pix yall have of each other on facebook or how many times yall got drunk or went to parties together. Friends are supposed to support you, listen to and help you with your problems, comfort you, Do favors without expecting anything back and just b there for you through thick and thin. Now days it seems that people are only around when they are either bored or you have something to offer them. I can say that when I am at school I have a lot of people that I can call friends but when I come home for the summer I won’t hear from 95 percent of them till I make it back to Beaumont. I’m so used to having people around me so much at school that I tend to get a little case of depression. This is where the loner part comes in because I tend to just want to sit in the house and be by myself, not talk on the phone, and have no interaction with anyone. Though this isn’t a great feeling it’s what we need to realize that those people aren’t as important as you think they are. When people say, “Hey! We need to hang out!” I just say, “Sure” and walk off. Um not to be rude but dude you didn’t hit me on Facebook or twitter. Nor did u read my blog hahaha just kidding but yes something like that. I’m Telling you this so that you can pull up the bad weeds and keep the good ones. Just whatever you do, don’t fall for the fake and don’t reject the real.

If you're a woman please read this, this could bring a change in your love life.

About a week ago I went to church at Antioch Baptist church in Beaumont, Tx and Pastor Adolf presented a awesome sermon for all the women for mothers day. The title of his sermon was "If men are like buses why can't I catch one?" Here are my notes from the sermon. If you're a woman please read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Treat yourself like a treasure: no man is going to treat you like a jewel if you treat yourself like dirt. He'll only treat you the way that you let him treat you.
2. Manage your money like a banker - Don't depend on any man to pay bills or even say that you wish you had a man to pay a bill.
3. Handle your kitchen like a chef- you gotta cook. Your man should never doubt that his wife will or can cook for him
4. Handle you business like a CEO - Don't have your business all out in the street. Some things stay in the house. Your children are your first employees.
5. Let him find you - don't go around looking for love because you'll end up finding something false. He should be looking for you instead.

Hopefully this will help all you women who say men aren't spit. Take a good look at yourself and see if you are living correctly.

Texting And My Car

There are a couple of things that have been going on this rainy day and have been bothering me and I just don't understand why I keep doing these things. The two things bothering me is texting and my car.

Texting is a great way of communicating in the world. It can make someone feel important if the receiver responds or it can make the sender feel like shit if the they don't reply. It can break a shy person out of their shell and it can aggravate someone you want to date if you don't ever call them. So is it just me or is texting great for people to say how they feel? I know that a person has to eventually face the music but as long as a person is being genuine, it should be okay.

My little blue car is really aggravating also. It almost seems as if when one thing goes bad, we fix it, and then something else messes up. About two weeks ago my A/C stopped working for me. All of a sudden when I'm on my way home, it starts working again. But when i finally made it home, my car did some strange stuff. It started shaking, and my lights kept pulsing. So this morning i had to go to a job interview and my car just stopped on me when I was parallel parking. That shit was scary but I'm more pissed because it made me late for my interview. (Very bad look) So when I graduate and everything falls into place my first investment is going to be in a new car. Some say I'm over reacting but i think I SHOULD be mad about this car. Yes I'm grateful for having a car, but its only 8 yrs old. It shouldn't be acting up like this.

These Damn Power Points!

Now that the spring semester is over, I have some feelings about the teaching methods used at Lamar University. In my opinion most of the teachers just use the powerpoints that are provided to them from the textbook. Not only that they make them available to the students. I appreciate them for giving us extra resources but when the teachers are just reading the power points word for word, it makes me have multiple feelings about the class. These feelings are:

1. I have a chronic case of boredom
2. I shouldn't be paying $3,000 a semester for a powerpoint to teach me
3. There is no sense of urgency to go to class
4. Immediate sleepiness during class
5. Consistent day dreaming

What's funny is these teachers have the nerve to get mad if we text or whatever during their class. IF YOU MADE IT INTERESTING YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. So if you're a teacher and you are reading this, please put in some kind of participation or include something that the students can relate to into your lecture.
