This week was a rough week. Here is a breakdown of the stuff that has gone down:

1. It been like monsoon season down here in Central Florida.

2. My car’s a/c is not blowing any air whatsoever, making it difficult to de-fog my windows during said monsoon rainstorm and apparently my passagner side floor is full of water, coming from who know where.

3. Far from hitting my quota at work, which means it going to be a very stressful last work week.

However, I believe everything will work out in the end. Is it wrong to think that, that amongst all these little setbacks that things will work out. Or am I just delusional.

For the past couple of months it has been hard, I won’t lie there. Not as hard and difficult as other people around the nation (and the world), but hard enough. I wanted to make this site, my slice of the internet, a journal of positive thinking notes and thoughts. And in that regard I did not live up to that expectation. So what’s next? That I do not know, but will decide to either keep this site and do something else with it or scrap rhe whole thing.

Week Thirteen: Relapse

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:41:25 -0400

Okay, my intention was to write one positive thought, idea on this blog every week. As you can see from the huge gap between this post and my previous post, that has not been the case. I could write any number excuse, but still nothing changes the fact that I have not been online, on Tumblr, writing my blogs.

I think with all the technology and social networks, there is not one place that my profile or goofy face is not featured on.

So what have I been up to for the past 12 weeks (has it really been that long)? Well work and Kung Fu class has kept me busy.

So on to the positive thought for the week, the one thing that I really need to happen…I need it all to make sense, I need to understand the bigger picture and I most definitely need for everything to start falling into place. You know what consider that the only thing I’m thinking about until the end of the month.

Redo: Week One for the Year 2009.

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:07:42 -0500

Since it is a New Year, I thought I would hit the reset button on the positive thinking and start all over again. Last month left a bad taste in my mouth with me not being able to hit 100% of my goal [which means a real sucky February commission check]. But I will not dwell on that thought and put it behind me. I still do hope and know that my dad, who is truly deserves it, will win the lottery. That is a fact. If anyone knows my dad, he does not give up until he’s accomplish what he has set out to do. On my blogger page I have posted my New Years Resolution which you can view here.

Since I do not have anything new to add. I will keep the positive thought of last month going. That my dad will win the lottery.

Week Four: Time to end the year right!

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 20:33:01 -0500

For the past four months I have enjoyed posting some of my goals for this positive thinking experiment. And am very excited to see how this will turn out as the new year starts. So since this is the year for giving and the New Year is all about new starts. I would like this week four positive thought to be for my parents. They have given so much and right now they could use a break and a breath of fresh air.

Ever since I could remember my dad played the lottery. Always playing that he would one day win and his troubles would go away. And now that he is up in his late 60s I want him to realize that dream. Now I know that winning the lottery usually causes a ripple effect [could be for the good, could be for bad]. But it is a risk that we as a family right now will afford to make.

“My father will win the lottery, he will win the jackpot.”

Everyone have a Happy and Great New Year.

Week Three...The Daily Grind

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:15:43 -0500

Well I am back. And this time I am hoping some positive thinking can help me hit my quota at work. I knew for a long time coming that December was going to be a rough month, but I did not envision that it would be this bad.

So I put this out there: “That I will be at a 100% of my goal by the end of the month.”

With the way the economy is how much of hit every industry is taking, I could use a little bit of good news this month.

Week Two: Part Duex

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:32:00 -0500

Now that I have tried something small (the $50.00), it is time to move on to something else. From what my friends tell me, you do not ask for what you want, but for what already is yours or something that. For all I know I have this all wrong. However, I do know that I will be visiting my local library to pick up a copy(hopefully CD book) of The Secret.

So since week two is about to come to an end, this will be for week three. This I have decided to go for something that is a little bit bigger than just a cash prize and more personal.

“I will have a steady girlfriend.”

I already have the perfect woman envisioned in my mind. She’s smart, beautiful, funny with a great sense of humor. Like sports and action movies. Can handle herself in the kitchen and love adventure. Dark hair and bright eyes.

So there universe that is a tall order. Let see if you deliver on that!

Week Two: "Well I be damned"

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:06:41 -0500

I should have posted this Tuesday, but I actually won $50.00 at work. How weird is that. So far this expeirment is off to a good start.

Second, I have decided to scrap using days in my subject line and go for the number of weeks.

Don’t know what else to think about but I think this time I will go bigger.

Day One: The Beginning

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:47:09 -0500

Well it is day one of this experiment into positive thinking to see if anything if my life approves. I believe each week I will set something that I want to attain or achieve and post the results of that. From what my friends tell me, sometime it might take a week, sometimes it might take a few months. But if you visualize it, believe in it, and say it…it will happen.

This will be very interesting.

I have been debating as to what should be the first thing that I would like to ascertane. So I’ll start of simple.

“I would like $50.00”

I hate having to start off with money, but it’s better than asking for a 46-inch HDTV (LCD).

Now that’s what I call a Flux Capacitor.

It’s good to have the football weekend back and up running. You have the Florida Gators finally beating Miami, in Gainesville. And then on the pro side, you have the Eagles just destroying the Rams. This is why I love the fall and football season.

In the middle of the Fay

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:33:00 -0400

Well today was the day. Tropical Storm Fay hits Florida and….[drum roll please]…not much happened. Yes there were some minor power outages and flooding, but not the huge disaster people were thinking was going to happen. In my opinion, I think ever since Katrina devastated New Orleans, people think every hurricane that hits the coastline will cause that type of horrific damage.

Well I have to come into work tomorrow, so I have that to look forward to…not.

Improntu

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:35:00 -0400

Talk about being away from blogging and Tumblr for a long long time. Seems the last entry I made was around the time of George Carlin’s death. Side note: Since then we’ve lost Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes…truly sad and their departure will be truly missed.

So what to do with this blog site. I wanted to make this blog site political, since the elections are around the corner. And I may continue to do that. I know I cannot compete against those professional bloggers out there, but at least this is still a place that I can air an opinion (yes, you heard me heard…I will voice my opinion) about the political process.

Second, now that I have a BlackBerry, I think I will start doing some mobile blogging while at work, on the road or where ever I am and have something to say at that moment.

So other than that…let the games begin.

Thanks for introducing those seven words we all loved to hear.

“No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions,
and words. You know the 7, don’t you, that you can’t say on television?
“Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits”
Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that’ll infect your soul,
curve your spine, and keep the country from winning the war.
“Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits””

Why Is TV So White?

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:48:17 -0400

A good article from Entertainment Weekly. One could say ever since The Cosby Show, went off the air. Black TV has gone down the drain. The only good black television shows out right now is the animated show The Boondocks and Everybody Hates Chris. Both polar opposite of each other, but full of good writing.

Sundays won't be the same...

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:38:37 -0400

Sundays are not going to be the same anymore. If there was anyone that left this world too soon it was Tim Russert. When hearing the news on Friday, I like everyone else was shocked. Upon hearing of his death, it felt like a part of the family had left us.

My prayers are most definitely with his family.
