Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

Point blank, I feel some type of way about a current situation I've been faced with. And this is not the first time that I've heard or been in such a situation before.

A close friend of mine is having a troubled time in her life and has pretty much locked herself away to...well...I'm not sure what she's doing but it doesn't involve me or our group of close knit friends. And while we're not speaking nearly as much as we did before her life events occured, i still make time to let her know that I care and she's loved. Recently (after being ignored when calling her or trying to communicate), I got to speak to her. She asked what had been going on in my life because she didn't want to speak about hers anymore and when I was done she had an attitude. She said I was rubbing my perfect life in her face!! What the fuck?!

So this is where I am. Trying to let a beloved person in my life know that I'm here and things will get better and she shits on me like brand new kitty litter. Why is it so easy to push those that have done nothing wrong with you away than it is to give an actual effort to accept the things you cannot change and continue with life smiling? I left the adverse mentality of when things go wrong, shut down immediately behind when I lost my mother to cancer. If you don't know how that changed me, I'll explain in short. I saw my mother lay before me with IV's and no chance of living beyond a few days with a genuine smile on her face. So if the problems that you face aren't even close to the cold hands of death, forget that air of self-loathing and seclusion and find something to put that smile within you. And always, ALWAYS treat the one's that are good to you without motive or gain with the love and compassion that you feel you deserve.

My friend broke my heart. And even though it hurts bad, especially at a time in my life where uncertainty is the norm, I will still smile and I will not be "that" person that would do this to someone they say they love.

Do better to deserve better. Bless.

I'm Going Back To YouTube

After some thought, I've decided to go back to posting videos on YouTube. Now to be honest, I don't know the specific nature of the content in which I'll be posting. But I do know that the range is anywhere between relationship questions and answers to amusing top ten lists.

I'm excited to be working on a project that will allow me a sense of release and something fun to do. I will keep you posted on when I put videos up and what new things I'll be doing within them.

Love the love.

THE MOST HONEST POLICE OFFICER I KNOW!!

Long story short, a police officer that works in my neighborhood sent out a letter and put it into the mailboxes of all of the residents within our community. I posted on my facebook page that I was giving him a major shout out. Without further adue, here's why. Typed exactly how he sent it, word for word:

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE....

We had one of our Residence little child hit, run over, and almost "killed" by a car the other day. Thank God the little child is doing fine and is alive to grow up someday.

PARENTS...It doesn't make any sense for you to have all of these kids and then lay up in the house sleeping or chillin with some out of work deadbeat "thug" guy that ain't even on the lease, while your children are who knows where!!!

SHAME ON YOU PARENTS...if you are the last to know that your little child has been hit by a car, or kidnapped, but because you don't care about where your kids are, you find out about it on the NEWS report on channel 10.

A DEPUTY'S PROMISE...If another child is hurt, lost, or killed and we investigate and find out that the parents were "just laying up in the house" and not supervising their small kids...I will "prosecute you for child neglect and endangerment"... We will "take" the other kids in the house into "Protective Custody" and turn them over to DSS. You will appear before an Angry Family Court Judge who will decide if you are going to get your kids back or not. Usually not if you let on child get hurt or killed.

OLDER KIDS/TEENS...If you don't think people driving down [local street name] won't hit you because you are "chillin n walking in the middle of the road" you are some crazy kids. KEEP YOUR BUTTS outta the road. You won't look cool with tire track on your face and backs...use common sense and stay out of the road...Parents talk to your Teens.

THANK YOU...to those Residents who complimented on the job and effort I give to keep this neighborhood safe from "Pookie n JuneBug trying to turn us into [local community]. Not gonna happen while I'm working with you!

RESIDENTS WHO ARE THE PROBLEM 'N NOT THE SOLUTION...you know who you are...it's only a matter of time before we catch you, arrest you, and Evict you. As [name of the manager] the manager said, "Rolling Dirty." Commit a crime in this neighborhood and I will catch you sooner or later, Richland County Sheriff's always get their Criminal.

KIDS TRYING TO FIGHT AFTER GETTING OFF THE BUS...If I catch any more kids trying to fight at the bus stop or standing around to watch the fight...everyone there will be DETAINED, PHOTOGRAPHED, AND REGISTERED in the Sheriff's Dept.'s JUVENILLE CRIMINAL data base. Parents you may want to talk/school your kids that we are very serious about this...I will prosecute and bring you and your fighting kids to family court where it will cost your kid 100 hours of community service and you're a few hundred dollar$$$$$$$$$ in court and fees...BE A PARENT, TEACH YOUR KIDS.


I'm framing this letter and I'm so serious!!! I love it!! There should be more officers like this. Even if his spelling and grammar aren't the best. AWESOME JOB DEPUTY!!! AWESOME JOB!!!

The Most Wonderful Time of Year

OCTOBER!!!! I love this month! Now, the fact that my birthday and my youngest son's birthday is within the month of October could cause me to be somewhat biased but...um...oh well! Its here and that's what matters. And I'm über stoked that my 30th birthday is literally 13 days away. I'm getting things in order for my very special birthday party (parties). I'm making new goals for myself. And I've already begun implementing changes in my life for the better.

My poetry is progressing also. I'm a co-feature with an amazing poet that I'm a little nervous about but if you know anything about me, you know I will do my absolute best to rise to the occasion. I've been working on some new poems so we'll see how I handle them when The Session Live gets here.

Other than that, I love October just because. Better than the Christmas frantic. More enjoyable than the barbecues of the Fourth of July. Sweeter than Valentine's Day. Just an all around awesome month for me.
