Often times there comes a point in a persons life where a decision must be made, whether it be good or bad. It must be made. These decisions are sometimes easy to make but usually not so much. I personally don’t buy into the whole “well this is the life I was given” BS. Everything that may come and/or go or change in your life I feel is a direct result of the choices you make. Yes you might have been “dealt a certain hand” in this so-called Poker game called life, but that’s not the end its only the beginning. How you decide to play these cards you are “dealt” is what will ultimately decide what happens next for you.

Many times you may see a person who (in this same type of situation i’m speaking of) may feel down and out and upset with the way things are going. At this time many problems may also be building up for them but the biggest of these problems is that they fail to see and realize that things are the way they are because of actions taken or not taken in the past. Instead they may sulk, cry, stay away from everyone, lash out or even blame someone else for their troubles. It’s this lack of realization that might ultimately prevent them from getting things right and being able to move on to whatever may be next in life.

Fact of the matter is that making difficult decisions is a huge part of life, DEAL WITH IT. Some may not like it but it must be done. Also realizing that the decisions you make will affect how things may play out in your life is a part of life, deal with that also. No one is dealt a complete sh*t hand, it’s just that some people don’t see how to take what they have and use it to their advantage. So if you’re not taking advantage of your “cards” and life isn’t so good for you don’t be mad at the world. Do some self reflecting, its only the life you chose.

Disclaimer: NO I’m not speaking about anyone specifically. This was just on my mind, I was thinking in the past.

There are currently less than two weeks left until that day that most females and some males wait for. The holiday for the hopeless romantics, Valentine’s Day. Me personally I call it penetration day because well that pretty much all I care about on that day. Everything else I can care less about.

The whole point of the day for guys is pretty much spend money, get your girl a gift to avoid any confrontation with the misses then get reciprocated in some sort of way. For females however the whole day turns into one of two things

-Get upset at the world and be bitter because you are alone day.

-Valentines contest day. Which consist of females showing off to each other the gifts they’ve received and bragging about how much more their man loves them than the next woman. Ugh

Every single year its the same thing I see at the office. The week preceding V-day all of the single bitter folks will make it their point to testify about how much they don’t like the day and how it is a waste. Mind you these same people used to sing a different tune when they were in happy relationships. Now the day of is a whole different type of bafoonery in itself. No one ever wants to answer the phones. All of a sudden on this day people are jumping to the phones hoping that the next call will be for them to walk down to the reception desk to pick up a delivery. Most of the day is spent in anticipation.

All day people go back and forth showing off the flowers, gifts and chocolates that they received from their SO. The same person who last week was being called all sorts of ungodly things IF they even thought about not getting any type of gift for their SO, LOL. Its really all funny to me.

All the while there are the sideline haters sitting at their desk talking under their breathe each time a new valentines day gift or bouquet of flowers is delivered. They are the funniest to watch. Its amazing how this day affects people. I think it brings out the worst in people honestly.

Everyone focuses on this one day to show the person they care about just how much they love them. But isn’t that what they should be doing everyday? I always ask my girl this. “If I treat and spoil and pamper you this one day out the year, will it make up for all the other dumb stuff I’ve done throughout the year?” And her repsponse is always “Nope! But it will get you some.” So at that point I say well in that case my only goal for the day like many other days is “penetration”. There’s no need for me to go out my way to do some unbelievable stuff just so you can show off too your friends. And amazingly she agrees.

My lady has told me plenty of times that she would rather be with a person that will do right by her the other 364 days of the year, than to be with a person who cuts up all year then shows out on that one day. Maybe I just got lucky with mine, LOL.

So these next couple of days before the “Big Day” watch and see the madness that goes on around you. Especially the commercials that always suggest spend money to make her happy, LOL. Those are my favorite! If it isn’t a diamond don’t come with it. Remember fellas the ladies want kisses….but “Every kiss begins with Kay” No Hershey’s kisses accepted, lol
