My emotions and actions coincide.

I wear my emotions. I am honest like that. Good or bad, you know how I am feeling just by looking at me or talking to me. One thing that I have noticed about me is that I allow other folk's energy to affect my energy. I may wake up ridiculously happy and sunshine-y, but just as soon as I encounter someone else's rain and clouds, my disposition changes.

At the beginning of the year, I vowed to be positive. I decided that I was gonna be happy and all that good stuff. And it is not even the end of the year and I am already breaking my resolution to myself. My energy is all off. I am cussing. I got this stress building up in my stomach that is eating me up.

I gots to change something quick, fast, and in a hurry. Being unhappy and stressed doesn't even sound like me...cuz it ain't me. I'ma do me and make me happy first and foremost, err-body else can get in line.

I am only typing this to keep a record for myself. You know, it's easier to keep a goal if you have something to hold yourself accountable. And this blog of mine helps me remember. Sometimes we get so busy in our lives that we forget things, small things. But even a lil bit of negativity is too much. And even a tad bit of happiness should be relished.

Peace y'all

Education is OK! I promise it won't hurt you.

I just recently got this note:

Number one, can anyone decipher what this fool is saying? Number two, how in the world did he graduate high school, let alone get into someone's college? OMG, this is what single women have to look forward to. And folks wonder why we say there are no eligible men. If this counts as an eligible man, we are all in trouble! Someone should slap this fool with a book and make him workout with a computer.

Hook a brotha up....

My side hustle is doing locs, I do my own hair and I know how to help people maintain theirs. I was at my real job a few weeks ago when I met a guy that asked me to do his hair. Cool, I could always use a few extra dollars. I told him how much I charge and a little while later, he called to make an appointment. During this convo, dude was trying to get me to lower the price, (which is lower than it is here in Chicago.) Basically this dude wanted me to hook him up. This dude that I had ONE previous conversation with.

Why is it that people always expect something for nothing? It is so irritating. In the end, he ended up talking me down $10.

Even though this is a side hustle, for me this is a source of income. How would it sound if someone's boss ask them to work an extra hour for free to save the company some money? That person would say, Hell no!!! Or can a person go to the grocery store and just ask for $20 off, just randomly? Probably not. So why do people think that they can get over on regular folks?

Well I am over it. No more Miss Nice Lady. I can't hook you up. It is not my responsibility to save you money. I am trying to make money my damn self. I'm sure that this is not an isolated situation. I know that everyone knows somebody that is trying to get a hook up. Just say NO though!
