I LOVE ME! I mean granted I have my ups and downs, but I still LOVE ME! I am far from perfect don't get me wrong -- but knowing that I am imperfect and accepting it gives me high self- esteem. Do you love yourself? Some people will put another person's happiness before their own. In this world of fast trends, mindless sheep and people wanting to be "in the know" no one is soaking up what it's like to live for now and embrace their individuality. A LOT of people want to live vicariously through other people and I find that sad.
Last night, one of my close friends and I kicked it on my veranda and chatted it up, as usual. Naturally, we discussed a wide range of topics. One of the many that we discussed was an ongoing "beef" in my neighborhood from rival clicks. He brought up the fact that we knew a few people that weren't these quote on quote "gun toting low-lives" when we were in high school, yet now they consider themselves as the big bad wolf. Lmao! That's when I used another individual that we knew as an example who would have NEVER in a million years smoked weed in high school yet now in 2008 he's this big weed dealer.
See the point is/was this, a lot of people are to busy trying to be someone else instead of just being themselves. The old adage is (I will always use adages FYI) "you couldn't walk a day in my shoes." My response to that is why the hell would I, or anyone for that matter, want to wear someone else's sweaty raggedy shoes...eewww lmao!
I have a new lady friend that called me a dork yesterday b/c I told her I was doing some reading on homo sapiens. I could have taken the dork comment negatively but I didn't, after all how many dorks can be as cool, suave, and smooth as I am? As a young teen I never succumbed to peer pressure, sometimes my friends would call me a pussy, punk or sissy if I didn't want to partake in something with them: such as playing hookie or going to be mischievous. I never let their condescending remarks bring me down because I was content with my decision making skills. And you know what, I wouldn't change any of those decisions because I have always been a leader. The good thing about being a leader is there are always plenty of people willing to follow. I'm not saying its wrong to be a follower, as we need followers in this life.
I guess the point is YOU should choose to lead or follow -- if not get the fuck out of the way!
Being yourself is the MOST unique thing a homo sapien can do. I mean we all are pretty much the same so why not take advantage of the fact that you can be slightly different. NAS said it best, "There's no idea original under the sun, its not what you do but how it gets done." It's not being original per se, its just being yourself. For those of you in relationships, being the center of a social circle, etc, etc I advise you to take a little time out of the day for yourself. Don't let time pass you by without soaking up a few moments of it!
Anyhow, this is just a lighthearted blog today. The advice is for each and everyone of you to just be yourself, enjoy your own shoes and the way they feel: enjoy living in your skin and forget about what society has deemed as acceptable. TRUST ME, I get picked on all the time, especially by my siblings due to my sense of style (they think they're hot shit of course). The point is, to me I have a sense of style -- so why should I care what they think. It's easy to look like a robot, but it is damn hard to look like yourself.
SIDE NOTE: I finally saw Iron Man this past weekend, a lot of movies since 9/11 have made middle easterners evil villains. I was shocked to see that Iron Man was even getting in on the action LMAO. Who's next Batman, the Ninja Turtles? C'mon Hollywood, you keep recreating shit due to your lack of creativity and on top of that you have become complacent when it comes to the antagonist for the protagonist...shame, shame, shame!

I LOVE your sense of style babe...it compliments mine VERY well.
No, but on a serious note I definitely agree with what you're saying but at the same time I agree with something that you said this morning when we were talking.
I love myself, I know damn well I look good as you always talk about me being conceited, but at the same time there are things that I would improve about myself. Not because I am ashamed of who I am or because I am not comfortable in my skin but because I want to do it for the sake of loving me. I think there are certain things that are ridiculous and you should just learn to live with them and accept them but there are others that you can change and it doesn't effect who you are. For example the teeth thing we were talking about today.
But anyway on another note, as an individual you should be comfortable being in your own skin but as a human being, we are subject to ridicule and emotion. Thus the emotional side of us making us self-conscious about who we are on the outside. And that is part of why we act and react to things that are said to us growing up or to what we see when we look in the mirror.
As for as the old adage "you couldn't walk a 'it's a mile not a day babe' mile in my shoes," it is just a figure of speech and you know that. You use them all the time. Of course I wouldn't want to walk a mile in someone else's shoes their feet may stink ;) lol. No but back on a serious note, sometimes you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes/position to realize what you have being your self.
Now to the most interesting thing you said in this blog posting...Some people will put another persons happiness before their own. Is that not what your mom did to keep her family together to keep you happy? Is that not what you would do to make sure your son is happy? What about your wife, when you get one? In life you have to make sacrifices, that's why it's LIFE! And sometimes putting someone else's happiness is apart of it, especially if you have or want to have a family. Don't you agree, babe? On that note I'm out son, hahaha.
Oh! I almost forgot...cool, suave, and smooth hunh?
Smooches!
~ KK-There can only be one me, and you love it! ~
u are soooo sexy! -secret crush
Since you said something about me not commenting on your side note I have come back to comment....
Yes, I do agree with you about Hollywood's lack of creativity and that is why they are using the Middle East for a lot of the new movies that are coming out. However, I do disagree with your point that this particular movie is doing the same thing. I mean, yes they do show Middle Easterners as being killers but you were sitting there with me, so you saw the same way I did that it was the AMERICAN GUY that was the true bad guy. So don't even go there trying to crack on the superhero movies, you know how I feel about them.
SEXY HUNH?!...WHY BE ANONYMOUS LET IT BE KNOWN WHO YOU ARE, IT'S THE YEAR OF THE WOMAN. BESIDES WE'RE TOLD OLD TO HAVE CRUSHES IT'S TIME TO GO FOR THE GOLD, IF YOU REALLY WANT IT. SO STEP UP TO THE PLATE YOU NEVER KNOW HE MIGHT WANT TO HOLLA. RIGHT BABE?...LOL. CUTE.
