And it was you

It's really interesting what people stress in their identity. There's certain aspects of a person's identity that they're quick to share with others. You can tell this by what people talk about and how they talk about it.

That's why I think it's really interesting what people choose to talk about. They can talk about billions of different topics, but they choose to talk about that exact topic. The fact that they talk about it means that they place value in that topic

I love tall evergreen trees. I would love to be in Connecticut for the fall/winter.

But I bet a lot of people would trip out if they got to see Palm trees in summer like I do here.

I guess the grass...I mean, the trees are greener on the other side! You get it? The trees!? Nvm, I'll show myself out

I Think There's Something

You ever just sit there and write and write without proofreading? You wanna go back and delete stuff and format things differently to make everything flow better? Well I've kind of just said, "Fuck that," I might end up fucking everything up. Besides, I wrote it, so it has worth. No need to delete things!" I dunno, maybe it's just laziness. I wanna say it's a way of forcing myself to live with what I write. Yeah.

Just Hold On

Alrite lemme give you an example of "attitude vs. behavior." It's a concept I think about frequently. I tried very hard to make sure that my attitude and approach towards things is pure. More than that, I try to make sure that my behavior reflects my attitude and approach. What sense is it to have pure intentions if you don't act on them?

So I used to be a fuckboy dickrider of The Weeknd. I would listen to "Trilogy" religiously. My roommates hated me for how loud I would bump his music on the daily.

And I still listen to Trilogy often. But a lot of what he's put out since then hasn't really resonated with me, and he sort of fell off as far as my musical preferences go.

I wondered why I let that happen. I'm a big believer in sticking with your favorite artists regardless of what direction they're going in. I liked Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak because it was different from what his fans expected. A lot of people stopped liking him and moved on. You could see that they were fans of the music, not of the artist. And that's fine. I stuck with it because I knew that there was a place for that kind of music. He could make the kind of music he did pre-808s because he had that side of him, the 808s side. You've got to accept a person for everything they are. Some people didn't, they only liked the music. And that's fine.

Cut back to the Weeknd. His music sort of fell off to me. And that's fine too. Another thing I believe in is that above all, artists need to FORCE people to check out their work. Make such a good product that people HAVE to see what's going on. And the Weeknd just hasn't done that for me lately.

His album comes out sometime soon. I'm so disinterested in his work at this point that I don't even care to look up when it'll come out. But I do hope that he'll surprise me and FORCE me to check out his product. Lord knows he had me HOOKED.

You Act So Different Around Me

You ever sit there speechless, with sobering music playing? Normally the song is cool background music but this time it's different. Each chord strikes you a little more than it usually does. It feels like you're absorbing the music. You've got a lot on your mind, hence the speechlessness. so you're stuck between the music and whatever's on your mind. I dunno. I really don't y'all.

That's the mindstate I'm in 90% of the time I write in this blog. And you motherfuckers best BELIEVE I look back and cringe like CRAZY at half the shit I post on here :(

She do that thang for three retweets

One thing I see a lot of is people who gloat mainly to belittle others and justify themselves. They post on social media sites about their accomplishments because they need everyone to see what they're doing. They need to tell the world/be told that they're doing well. They need the justification that dozens of likes will provide.

I think a better route to go is to avoid that altogether. Be content with knowing that you're pretty enough, smart enough, that what you're spending time on is something worth spending time on. You shouldn't need other people to justify your actions; self approval and acceptance should be more than enough for you. Being content with yourself is worth so much more than outside justification. I think if you're truly happy with yourself, you don't even need much outside justification. It acts merely as a bonus.

"But wait, I post the stuff I post to motivate others! I post my gym pics to show that if people work hard enough and are dedicated enough, they can get like me! I post about me getting a job to show that if people work hard enough, they can get a good paying job with benefits!"

That might be how it starts, but once you get that first comment that lets you know you're doing all right, that shit becomes a crack addiction. Each post you make becomes a plea for more and more comments and justification.

If you truly post solely to motivate, I challenge you to make it so you can't view how many likes you get or what the comments say. The only challenge then is to avoid becoming vain and a showoff. A braggart.

But this is getting a little preachy so lemme switch it up one time for you fools...REMIX!

Why I don't have an Instagram, I don't know. I really don't. Girls willingly post provocative pictures of themselves. Bikinis, dresses, short shorts, anything you could imagine. Why a straight, sexually functioning male like myself isn't on Instagram? Why wouldn't I wanna be a part of something that awesome? I really have no idea. Lol

And while I'm on the topic...yesterday a buddy of mine told me I need to get an Instagram because it's the best way to see what everyone's doing every day.

The thing is, I don't gives a FUCK what y'all do every day! I don't care what y'all eat, drink, I don't need to be updated on what your daily routine looks like! Fuck outta here! And to you motherfuckers who justify your vanity posts with claims of motivating others, I say to you, "I don't compete with y'all motherfuckers! The only competition I see is myself, ya hear!?"

Yakh yakh yakh! Bangbangbang skeetskeetskeet!

Yippee!

Slippy like its Freudian, kill you like kevorkian, bring you back to life and put you right back in the morgue again!

Yeah!
