Humanity

A Parallel of Mischievous Incidents
So to avoid writing too many stories separately, I will just put it all together into one. You need to know that my weirdness was coming probably from being so kind of a spoilt, but a good child. Spoilt in a very weird manner the meaning of it all with an imaginary that for a very long time was my only world that I truly walked until the day, I fell in love for the real, and first time, and lost my best of the soul that was truly mine.

Dear Unknown Man
You talk of pessimism and venom. I drown out your nasty thoughts. I can’t. I can’t listen to one more angry, sad, frustrating, dumb, horrible, evil, thing you heard recently. It is always the same, just switch a few words around. You sound like a tape recorder, repeating the same information every time I see you. If you had anything positive to say then things would be different. That's of course you make time to talk about anything other than corruption and spite.

Astrology - You are WAY more than just the Sun (and other things you might not know)
I am an Astrologer. There are a lot of us online. Each one of us has our own way of interpreting things. The one thing that I am often asked to interpret is when anyone is going to meet their perfect partner.

Boy, keep your opinions to yourself!
This is a polarizing subject but, we must ask why men think they have dominion over a woman’s body because I will never understand this. I will also never understand why the male population thinks it’s their God-given right to have an opinion over what we’re allowed to do with our bodies…

Maybe I have been trying to convert my current Number Two sedative into, as it were the old board game Easy Money. " You don't have to shout or leap about and ya' know it won't come easy " . Pay your dues, if ya' want to sing the blues and ya' know it just ain't easy. Will those old Jersey hits ever cease coming?

My Journey To Greatness
Have you ever thought you were working for a company that didn't appreciate you or that you didn't feel like they valued you enough and felt like you were just working to put money into someone else's pocket while killing yourself along the way??? Well I did, I worked at a cotton mill located in the small town where I was born and raised witch was really the first real job persay that Id had, I had worked for a small company installing carpet and tile and painting during the summers when I was 15-17 and still in school, I had also worked at a fast food resturaunt for a little while but like I said i thought this job at the cotton mill could potentially be a career... The job was alright or so it seemed for my at the time 18 year old self and my girlfriend the money at the time seemed was good enough that was, until my girlfriend got pregnant and I was about to be a father. I worked at said cotton mill for around 3 years on the swing shift witch was draining on its own not to mention I was pulling 10 to 12 hour shifts almost everyday especially when I found out we were having a baby. To me I thought I was a valuable asset to this company but boy was I wrong I mean after all the boss man always came to me to work over or to bail him out when someone else messed up but little did I know that really didn't mean anything. Well the 3rd year of me working for this cotton mill my girlfriend went into labor so naturally I called out of work and was told that by my boss that this would go against me because she is just my girlfriend and not my wife, It seemed a little strange to me because after all she was having my child but what really got me was when he said that if she didn't have the baby or after she did have the baby that I should return to work because he really needed me to be there because 2 other people on my shift were also going to be out, I just told him what I knew he wanted to hear knowing that there was no way I would be leaving that hospital rather she had our child or not. So she ended up having our beautiful daughter November 15, 2013 without any major complications so I called my boss back and told him they were going to be in the hospital for 4-5 extra days and that I wanted to use the vacation time that I had saved up just for this and he unwillingly said alright. Well fast forward to us getting out of the hospital and bringing our beautiful baby girl Jacelyn home, the day after we got home I was going to return to work so I go to sleep at a decent time of 3am I guess the new parent jitters got to me because I couldn't stop worrying about her even though she was right beside me. Well I wake up at 5am the next morning to get ready for work and prepare myself for the 30 minute drive to work hoping I wouldn't fall asleep because after all id only gotten 2-3 hours of sleep anyways I make it to the plant and walk inside head to my locker to get my tools and stuff out and I was met by my boss mans trainee boss telling me that I no longer had a job there because for 4 days I was a no call no show, remind you id purposefully saved 2 weeks of vacation time for the birth of my child and I called my boss to let him know I wanted to use a week of it but apparently I was being punished because he had forgotten to put it in the system. So I try to go to my boss mans boss and explain to him what had hapened but he was one of the rudest people id ever met in my life and also blamed me for this mistake so I leave the plant at 8am a brand new father who just lost his job and the only way to support his child what was I going to do, how would I support the family I created, how would my girlfriend take the fact that I got fired the day after we brought our daughter home I literally was a nervous wreck. Well I make it home and explain what happened and my girlfriend was so supportive and positive about the situation and it made me feel really good knowing that she was by my side irregardless and it also lit a fire under me and I started applying and calling places I ended up landing a job with a construction company building metal buildings and the owner of this company was a jerk and it was all I could do daily just to deal with his smart mouth and be around him so this job only lasted about a year. I ended up bouncing around from a few different places until I got a job with another company building metal buildings and absolutely loved it and after 2 years I was promoted to foreman and running my own crew as a 23 year old. Well I worked for this company for roughly 4-5 years and found out no matter how much money id made my boss man that I was just as replaceable as the laborers we hired every couple months and this is when it really hit me that it didnt matter if it was a multi million dollar cotton mill or an independently owned company that if there weren't any employee appreciation that I would always feel unappreciated and replaceable and that's when I decided that I was going to try and start my own business doing home remodeling and renovations, build some metal buildings, garages, and maybe a little landscaping. Here I am at 26 years old going to test for my residential contracting license as well as my general contracting license to start my own business and throughout these past 5 years I have had some good times and some bad but I never one time felt unappreciated or replaceable and I also made it a point to show my 3-4 employees that I really did and do appreciate them. I only hope that god continues to guide me and bless me in everything I do and continue to let my little small town business flourish..

The Key Ingredient for Self-Love
I’ve always found myself to be very close with the spiritual realm. I was blessed with the gift of intution. I am very empathic, so I can feel what other’s feel quite easily. I also have these dreams occasionally, where I’ll get hidden messages from my spirit guides. Sometimes these dreams foreshadow events that will happen, in one way or another. I try to write down my dreams as often as I can. That way I can reflect on them later and try to figure out what they mean.

An Over-explanation of Things that really grind my gears
#1. Mushrooms. Get'em outta here! Fungus is neither 'fun' or for 'us' so throw it all away! Who was taking a stroll in the woods one day and saw a nasty spongey little piece of fungus and thought 'Oh yeah...I'm gonna put THAT in my mouth!" If I had a time machine I'd go back and slap that fungus right out of that Neanderthal's hand #nofunforgus

Are you sure I'm in my 30s?
When we were younger, we would scoff at the sight of a '30' year old and the thought of being SO OLD. I remember a lot of my teachers and coaches seemed so incredibly aged to me as a teen. Their phase of life was so far away from mine, I couldn't even picture it in the horizon. They lived the types of lives I imagined akin to the Golden Girls. I didn't understand then just how little age difference there actually was between my fresh 15 year old self and a saggy, wrinkly 30 year old...

Living and Dying and the Inadequacies of Polite Friendship
I faced death head on for the first time at age twenty one. It crept up on me so slowly, through a haze of chronic pain, that when I was suddenly staring down the barrel of my own mortality it felt like no other day. Like I’d been dying since the day I’d been born and my final seconds were ticking down to that peaceful sigh of relief.

Things I Learned about being 27. Top Story - September 2021.
Marriage, kids, career, and life in general: it's okay to not master the universe. I think the hardest thing about being 27 is not punching people in the face when they remind me how close to 30 I am. And how far from marriage I appear to be.
