Quit it......

1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving! QUIT HOLDING ON TO THE PAST!

2. Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets!

3. Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you. Either they support you...or they don't!

4. Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change!

5. Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter three weeks from now! Talk solutions....and then implement them!

6. Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't quit...eat smaller portions!

7. Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them! If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging things, especially when you don't NEED them!

9. Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them!

10. Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN'T WORK! Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are!

11. Quit listening to the naysayers! Quit watching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!

12. Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do!

13. Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality! -

14. Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE! CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past...you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT ...... and START DOING something to create the experience you want!

Donte Stallworth

For those of you who don't know who Donte Stallworth is, he is a NFL player for the Cleveland Browns. Stallworth was involved in a DUI manslaughter in March 2009 resulting in the death of a guy named Mario Reyes. In June 2009. Stallworth accepted a plea agreement in which he pleaded Guilty to the charges set forth. As part of his plea agreement he has to spend 30 days in jail, 2 years house arrest and 8 years probation. He has also came to some sort of agreement with the Reyes family compensating them for there lost.

For some reason people are having a hard time accepting this dudes plea agreement. They believe justice was not served. They think just because he is an athlete he is receiving special treatment.

I am on both sides of the table. On one side I do believe just because he is an athlete he is receiving special treatment. Let's keep it real, if he was the everyday average Joe, he would have gotten those 15 years. But it's true when they say money talks. But on the other hand, the Reyes family is cool with it, so who are we. They are the true victims. This man has to live with the fact that he killed someone because he was intoxicated. I think that is punishment enough. He was man enough to admit he was wrong. Also you have to realize that the guy he killed was apparently J-walking. But that is still no excuse.

Everyone needs to realize Stallworth did the crime and he will be doing the time for the rest of his life. Leave that man ALONE!!!

Friends....How many of us have them?

This note is in no way to offend anyone. But I'm just here to warn everybody. We need to be careful and watch out who we call a "FRIEND". I was raised and taught that everyone we call our friend is not that. So I went into deep thought and asked myself, "What is a friend ?" Well the dictionary says a friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. But my mind, body and soul definition of a friend is someone who is there regardless of what the problem is. They are there regardless if they disapprove with whom your dating. They are there to guide you on the right path when you get off path. They tell you the truth when everyone is lying to your face. Basically they are there for whatever, whenever, however.

Some people are not blessed to have many friends or acquaintances. I believe I have alot of acquaintances but very few friends. Alot of people say they don't have alot of friends because they choose to. But let's keep it 100% real. You probably did something in the past or your just not a pleasant person to be around. I don't have alot of friends because I'm just a person who likes to be alone. Like I said my acquaintances, I love them to death and I would do anything for them but I keep them at a distance. But my true friends, I know for a fact that they have my best interest at heart and I will definitely do anything for them no questions asked.

So next time you go to call someone a friend, just think about it before saying it.
