Climbing the Ladder

Every time my climbing seems to be going great… I roll the dice wrong and shoot down the snake…

Life is about taking chances.  Sticking your neck out.  Saying things and not holding back.  Even if it is a minor setback to your ultimate goals in life… these setbacks can be necessary to get you to your goals in life.  Life isn’t easy.  Life isn’t going to be an over-hand toss.  Its going to be a fast-ball, curve-ball, or knuckle-ball thrown right at your face.  You just better hope you are prepared with the right equipment to handle it.

Whatever you do… don’t settle.  If you feel, ultimately, that you need to keep “climbing that ladder”… then you must.  Only settlement will anger you.  Drive you crazy… leave you thinking “what if”.  When you met someone that you enjoy being around.  That can be with you to reach those goals.  Don’t let that person leave on the first pitch.  Fight for this person.  Be close with this person.  Love this person.  Cause at the end of the day… its not about how many breaths you take in life… its about the moments in life that takes your breaths away.

Obesity….

Why are kids fat these days?  Why are parents allowing this to happen?  Why does it seem like the more we talk about it… the less things are happening about it??? For the past five years this topic has been in the news… but yet, they never just come out and call the parents out… well… I think someone should…

One Word of Advice from Dr. Lee:

If you start to notice your child is gaining weight… look into his or her habits.  Looks into his or her recreational activities.  Are they exercising?  Does he or she go outside and play more than you did as a kid?  Does it seem like your child doesn’t have any friends?   If any of these answers are “no”… then its time to step up, be a parents, and teach your child healthy living.

What’s his main source of food?  Junk food?  Fast food?  Frozen meals?  If he is consuming all of these “types” of meals, then its a no wonder why he is gaining weight.  A child needs nutritional meals during his youth so he can get the proper nutrition as his body is growing.  Also, making home cooked meals and teaching your child what is good for the body and what isn’t, is a good way to teach your child how to have a healthy life.

I just don’t get why the media just doesn’t say the obvious… If your child is fat (and there is clearly NO medical issues), then shame on you!  You are not a parent.  You need to go to parenting classes and learn how to be one.  You are KILLING your child!  And if you cannot care for your children’s healthy well-being…. then why are you having kids??? It is your responsibility to make your child go out and play.  It is your responsibility to feed him properly.  Ugh… seriously, parents that let their kids do and eat whatever just really piss me off.  You have to set rules… You have to set boundaries…

Don’t just be affectionate with your child… Look after his well-being as well…

This Road Is Dark

This road is narrow…
This road is dark…
Must be what life’s like…
When your body’s been torn apart…

Cry a tear…
Hide your fear…
Come to your senses…
Understand how you became here…

Look around…
There’s a way out…
Only if one can be patient…
A way will come about…

So keep walking down that road…
Keep your head high…
With knowledge of something greater…
Will soon be in sight…

Alcohol: My “Truth Serum”?

Everyone is guilty of this… if you drink the right drink, you suddenly become very open to everyone around you.  Your emotions, if you will, over come you and you can not stop what you are about to say. Nor should you stop what you are about to say… because, after all, it is the truth right?

Vodka and wine are my worse enemies… if anyone ever wants to know my true feelings about most subjects, get me talking after a few shots of Goose or a bottle of red wine, and you shall see.

Sadly, I even admit it to everyone that its the alcohol doing this to me, but I still can’t help but to keep talking.  Maybe the governments are in on this.  Maybe they figured out a chemical that they put in every alcohol product in the world, and it makes everyone show their true colors.

Many sites when you search for it talk about it.  Some say, that in a way, truth serum drugs and alcohol do have many of the same effects.  These same websites also warn everyone to take what someone says, while under the influence, as a grain of salt.  Like truth serum drugs, one can believe that fiction or dreams will be thought as a truth and said during this time as well with certainty.

Regardless… everyone becomes a bit more open with the right drink, but don’t let this hold you back from having an amazing night out!

The Events That Make Us Remember…

Life becomes so busy at times that you forget to stop and remember what the most important things are about life.  We associate ourselves with “things” so much that we forget about what life is all about…

Family, Friends, Health, Love…

During the sad moments in life, you are reminded about these four areas.  Each one of these are important to one’s life, and these are the foundation of helping us get back on our feet when we are down.  Why do we start to get caught up in the material things, and slowly start to forget the importance of all four of these areas?  Its sad that such tragic events has to happen to realize that these four areas are all you need; however, it’s good to know that when such tragic events do take place, that these four areas are there for you.

“When all else fails, just remember this one thing… Friends and Family will be always at your side… during the sunshine… and even more so, when it rains.” -unknown
