Half Time

Well, as everyone I'm sure is aware, the Super Bowl was yesterday.

 The Super Bowl and I have always had problems. When i was little it usually fell on my birthday, or the day or my party.

 Many people would tell my mom that they would not show up unless the game was on, and my cake and other kid stuff had to be done at half time. for a 5 yr old, or younger that is not really nice or appropriate for the adults to be saying.

Just my opinion, i could be wrong.

Now many watch for the commercials, or for the half time show. I have to say i was disappointed by the commercials. Not one stood out to me or made any difference to stand apart from every other commercial that's run every other say of the year.

The half time show was a joke. It was not Super Bowl worthy. Not the mention the fact that it was Beyonce. I have officially sworn off Beyonce forever.

I don't care how many awards she wins, how many fucked up names she gives her children, I just simply don't care.

She should be ASHAMED!!

The fact that she lip singed the National Anthem is enough for me to say fuck her.

What American in their right mind, lip sings the National Anthem????

What American would continue to support her? Or her "music"??

She is an artist not a musician, don't start with that crap. She doesn't do anything but sing and then audio adjust everything else to create hits, its not raw talent.

If you disagree...well...good for you.

Her performance at the Super Bowl was not up to Par. It didn't wow anyone but Beyonce fans.

I went to a family friends house to watch the game. There were at least 10 other people there and i can promise you no one was impressed. Some might have recapped on some of her old music, or hear a song she performed and forgotten that it was her song.

Other than that, 90% of the people there took that time to refill or top off their drinks, step outside to get a cigarette, or even both.

As soon as her performance was over, multiple people asked:
"I wonder if she lip singed that just like she lip singed the National Anthem?"

I hope everyone had a fun, safe Super Bowl. I know I did.

I do have to say, I do feel a little odd knowing i left early and didn't watch to see who actually won the game. :P

Happy New Year

Well, its been a another year. 2012 is almost gone but the memories will last a lifetime.
The memories we created this past year, whether good or bad are what we should use for this next year. Utilize the good memories to create better ones,and  the bad memories to avoid creating more like them. Some memories, and events that took place are unpreventable and will happen whether ot not you want them to.

If you lost a loved one in 2012, do not dwell on the hurt, the pain or the sadness. Rejoice. Your loved one is free. Free of pain and suffering. They ARE in a better place now. It's difficult to understand let alone accept, but we have to see the bigger picture. They are needed elsewhere. Don't think of their passing as a punishment from God. I see losing a loved one as a test from God. He tests us all in mysterious ways, whether it's your strength, or your ability to comfort those who need it most. Do not dwell, rejoice. Your loved one wouldn't want to see you hurting inside.

If you brought a new life into the world in 2012, this is just the beginning. There are many things coming your way in 2013. The many milestones to look forward to. Remember to kiss and love on your bundle of joy every chance that you get. Even if they don't understand, talk to them, tell them how much they mean to you, how they are a blessing to you, and how much you love them.

If you ended a relationship in 2012 (i mean long term not "oh well we dated for a week"), don't let that get you down. There are many many more people out there. I'm not going with the "there's more fish in the sea blah blah". It's BS!The way i see it you are in control of your standards, you cant chose to say "no, he/she isn't good enough" or "I deserve better". Take a stand, hold your ground. I remember what my Uncle Raymond (God rest his soul) and my Uncle JR told me and i'm passing the same advice onto you "Don't ever settle for less than what you feel you deserve".

If you changed your relationship status to "In a Relationship" (Again, talking long term), good for you. Enjoy that person, enjoy the little things, Whether that means an inside joke, a silly face, or even a manor-ism or a certain word they say. Don't rush into the I Love You's. Just take each day as it comes and remember there is a reason you are with this person. "If you press me to say why I love him, I can say no more than Because he was he, and I was I"

If you were alone in 2012 and will be alone in 2013, good for you. Its nothing to be ashamed of, or to feel down about. You are content with yourself and see you don't need anyone to complete you or anyone to take care of you but you. It shows your independence and you ability to be happy by yourself. If you are unhappy alone then be social. It doesn't mean you have to go out and find someone to be with, it just means you might need to get together with friends more often, or go out to social places to meet new people. Maybe you could travel around. Travel your state, your country or other countries, but don't ever feel ashamed or down about being by yourself.

2012 was just another year of ups and downs. Friendships made and friendships lost. To put it in words i'm going to borrow from my god sister Jaime. She Posted:

New years eve, a day to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. A day to remember the good times and the bad, to remember the people who never left your side when things got rough. To remember are promises made and broken. To forgive and forget the people that hurt you. To be thankful that you made it another year. But most importantly to be excited that your getting a fresh start, another chance to get things right. Cause that's what new years is all about getting another chance to do more, to be more, and to love more. 

It's nothing short of the truth. Keep your head up and prepare for the New Year. Don't hold onto past grudges, don't hold onto hatred. Let it all go. In 2013 you will face many more challenges and surprises in your life that holding onto the past will just weigh you down.

I hope everyone, no matter where you are , has an amazing New Years Eve, and an even better New Year. :D

Oh, and on another note, everyone who will be drinking on New Years Eve, Please DON'T DRINK & DRIVE!!   ------ >>>
