Let’s get it started…

Today, I’m thankful for:

1. Self Control. Uhhhhh…let’s see here. Ok, everybody has the potential to be an enormous asshole or bitch if they so choose. I generally try my best to not tap into my full potential when it comes down to being an enormous asshole or bitch. Lately though, I feel like I’m being tested. On a grand scale.  If I had as much self control as I thought I did (not much), quite a few people would be walking around feeling real shitty about life. B/c I like to think of myself as a nice person…or nice enough…there are a lot of times and a lot of people who I let make it. You may say some rude shit to me…I’ll let it slide. You may even treat me like shit…and I’ll let it slide. And so on. Lots of people mistake this form of self-control as being weak and blah blah blah. It aint. Along with birth control…it’s saving lives. I know myself well enough to know that it’s pretty damn hard for people to get me to the point where I’ll all the way act an ass with them, so I tend to let a lot a lot a lot of shit slide (b/c again…once I go there…we can’t come back from it. whatever I say can and will be used against me in whatever court [be it law, friendship, relationship, etc.] you try me in. but of course, I wont give a rats ass b/c…well…you started it. Don’t you dare be mad cuz I finished it!). A. LOT. Problem is…instead of seeing the sweet, slight, and subtle warning signs I give off to let you know I’m getting tired of yo’ shit, No Erykah, people keep pushing me. Right to the edge. And see…that’s where shit starts getting real. And everybody claims they want people to be real with them…but they don’t. Or maybe they just want people to be real with them when they aren’t pissed off? IDK. At this point…I almost don’t care. I’m thankful that I know enough to STFU and let folks make it. Some folks should be thanking their lucky stars too. Moving on…

Remember when Leonidus kicked the shit outta ol’ dude and was all “this is sparta!”? Well…that’s what I wanna do when I get mad. But with words.

2. Labor Day…is the first paid holiday coming up. and I also have set in stone vacay plans that involve the beach. I love paid holidays. And I love the beach. This is also the brightest spot I can find in my future as of right now, so yay. In addition to paid holidays and beach time…I’m thankful for already purchased plane tickets and the people who buy them.

3. Random Texts…this week, my random texts have placed genuine smiles on my face and made me really laugh. Some have been a bit confusing or made the wheels of my brain start spinning super hard, but…they’ve generally made my day…or days. yay. thanks guys & dolls..

So, now that I’ve ranted and raved…and then moved on…lol. What are YOU thankful for? Dying to know…
