Who Cares?
I don't know why all the time,
I can think what I'll think..is that a crime?
I don't know about good, or bad
I know what I've got, and I know what I've had.
What happened to security?
Did it bow out along with humanity?
When did we fall so out of place?
That we often spit in our fellow man's face?
Things are always going to change
But here it is present, others find it strange.
Who can really put themselves in the judges seat?
Did we not all start by washing someone's feet?
Evil is all around, clothed with a mask
Be always on your guard, that is our task.
Who are we to question what we don't know?
For there's lessons learned daily, and we all need to grow.
Pride is the beast that waits for it's prey
And once it attacks, the longer it will stay.
Weak is not what makes us fail,
But allowing another man to carve our trail.
We are the difference that needs to be made
A great darkness is taking over, and it's on a raid.
With great faith, I believe walls can break
But at others expense, that's the chance we take. (?)
The divide in mankind, is growing great
But we can never destroy, what we didn't create.
I don't know why some hurt, why other's appear grand
But we cannot accept, what we're not willing to understand.
Not everything in this life, is going to be fair
So if we stumble while we're living, tell me..who cares?
Power is hungry, and it seeks to feed
On those blinded by it's rewards, rather than it's need.
There's always a fight for the leader of the band
I know I've found my place, when I leave life in God's hands.
My thoughts are from my heart, some will disagree
But I'm not here to please everyone, and I can only be me.

Return To The Blog.
It's been a LONG time since I've posted, but I had to share last night's work experience:
I am there at work buffing the front end, and my co-worker/friend stops me. He tells me to meet him at the front doors, where he was. He and I both smelled something real funky, but was not sure what it was. I knew I was familiar with the odor, but was only guessing. We decided to try to find the source, and my friend did just that...
The smell was coming from not just one but SEVERAL rotted watermelons. It was...UUUGGGGGHHHH!!!! We got the stuff to take care of it, and told management. There is light in this situation. The managers were so disgusted by it, that they were oblivious to our comments. We kept spouting off our thoughts and examples of the smell.
When we were putting them into a basket, they cratered on us. Juice..NASTY, ROTTED, UG juice got all over the floor. This along with chunks of mushy watermelon. It made the dead hold their noses. I popped with the comment: "This smells like child birth!". I guess, that sight, along with that mental image was too much for our overnight co-manager to take. He proceeded to open the front entrance doors, and step out. My friend and I were so busy laughing, cutting up, and carrying on that we hardly realized we could have got into trouble for our comments. Then, our overnight Assistant walked over to the doors and asked: "What is that smell?"
My friend responded to her question with: "It looks like salsa after you drank too much on Saturday night!". I died laughing.
The support manager was helping us load up the watermelons, and was laughing too. The look on their faces was priceless. They were horrified, disgusted, and I'd like to think...slightly amused by our comic relief. We broke like several polices by our comments, but it was so worth it.
If anyone does, did, or thinking about purchasing watermelons from our store...DON'T!!! They are funk-eh. In conclusion, my friend scrubbed the fool out of the floor and got it cleaned up. I came along, and mopped it. Then, we made sure it got baptised in apple sented de-odorizer. We gave ourselves mini-baths in soap and water, then went to lunch.
I may not work in the best place, by far..but that is one of the best nights I've had in the whole five years I've been there.

Thoughts For The Day
I may not know what tomorrow holds, or IF there will even be a tomorrow..all I know is now. Have you ever given much thought on what we could be doing when we spend our time getting upset? When we take the minutes, hours, days, years, ect. on holding grudges? It's something ponder, definatlely.
One of my friend's mom's, whom was also one of church's sweetest ladies, passed away Tuesday. She was a very dear friend of mine, even if she was older. She was a inspiration not only to me, but to almost anyone she ever came into contact with. She was human, she had "down moments"...but you would never see it. She always sought the best in everyone, even if you hurt her..she forgave you in the same breath. I never met any quiet like her, she was "one of a kind". Miss Rita will truly be missed, but I'm looking forward to seeing her again.
With this happening, it kind of made me think about life. Why not live your life like that? No regrets, because you won't give the time to let it bother you? Let it roll off your back, shake it off, and be done with it. What could you possibly be upset about, if you don't give it the effort? Too long I've been a downer, a complainer, a ranter...if you will. Why? It does not define who I am, but it does say a lot about my character. It has been said: "It's what you leave behind when you go". What kind of impression, legacy, memories will others have for me when my time is done? I truly stand behind the whole "don't impress anybody" belief, but how different would it be if you left a good life?
I mean, it's the same song and dance when there's no "try" in it. I say I'm going to stop complaining, and start being a more cheerful person...but if I don't put forth the effort...then that makes me a hypocrite. I am NOT perfect, NO ONE is. However, I can strive to reach my goals..that I can do. One of my many goals is too be more calm spirited...and it's achievable. So don't waste your time on "ninny" little things, or petty problems. Focus on what's in store, and aim to reach that. So something bugged you, life got you down, you're one big emo mess...it's a choice to remain in that state. Let it go, I mean...really put the strength and effort to "forget about it". Nothing is impossible, it's just going to take some work.
I saw a case of this with this dear lady's life, and what an impression she has left with those who knew her. She was a pioneer, and a hero to some. No she was no saint, and I'm not saying she's the next "leader" but what I am saying is that anything you strive for can be reached. Everyone has been saying Miss Rita was "love" in one word, I have heard that one the most it seems. What a life! I'm definitely going to put forth a better, more enthusiastic effort into molding into the person I could be. I cannot do this alone, I'm going to have to work real hard at it. I just ask everyone to help me, by supporting my efforts...and if you feel inspired...then kudos to you! I will also stand behind you. This woman has inspired me, and I just want to share her wisdom with anyone who cares.
Calling this one a close because it's almost noon and I am tired, also have to work tonight. I hope I didn't bore anyone, and I hope all has a good day.

Aaaww! Work..(Not suprising).
I also happen to LIKE snow. I apologize to those who disagree, or otherwise have a different opinion on it. I'm Texas born and Texas raised, but I enjoy every little spit of snow we get. We haven't had much to brag about, at least in my years, but I actually got some proof God hit us good. Here is a pic of the beautiful white frozen night we had at work the other day. Isn't it purdy? Oh well, I thought so anyway.
Okay. Believe it or not, that's all about work today!!!! It's like 10:38, I've been off since 7, Josh is playing on his PS3, I'm on the computer (obviously), the cats are sleeping..and that's about all there is to report. WOW! Right? Yea...anyways. So, I may not have the most interesting things to blog about...but WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?! J/K. I think I might go to bed now, or see if Tom & Jerry is on. I hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Myself, Signing Off on A Few Things...
So, a new day...a new start. I've already stated that "busy-bodies" were one of my pet peeves in my previous blog. I have my reasons, and for times sake I won't go through them all. My main thing is that they're always wanting in your business mainly on RELATIONSHIPS. My personal view on that subject is: it's that person's business and no one else's. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be with my husband. I am very happy and fufilled in our relationship. That's just exactly what it is though...OUR relationship. If we fight, we fight..if we forgive, we forgive. I don't believe anyone else has to know the details and contents of what goes on "behind closed doors". If you aren't God, then what business do you have knowing all of my personal business? What gets me is people are addicted to relationships like a mouse on pez! It's crazy! If you are with someone, good for you. If you aren't, good for you too. That's my view on it. Why does it matter who you're with, why you're with them, if you're with anyone..ect? It doesn't define someone. It doesn't really set someone's character. I'm just one of those people that I believe that's your business. If you aren't one to discuss your personal life, well kudos to you. It's not like you're obligated too. So, why does the majority of the world pressure you into giving up you're privacy? People are just...they're frustrating.
Okay, so like then there's the big one...RELIGION. Oh yes! I went there. It's no secret that not everyone on this earth shares the same beliefs. We have had many wars fought, and many veterans pay the price to give us that right. That should never be taken for granted, by the way. It's called freedom, and as they say, "it is not free". Be very grateful for it. My personal belief is that The good Lord is the king of Kings, and the one true God. I accepted Him as my personal Savior back in 2001. I believe that only God alone knows my heart, and He is my one true judge. Not everyone shares this belief with me. I don't expect them too, and I don't condemn them. I just believe that whatever, whomever you proclaim...you should know why. It takes more then just raising the signs, and wearing the label. It's more than just words you say, or meetings you attend. I believe that unless you know all about it, then you're just a poser. It's about dedication, and acceptance. It's about making sacrifices. Do you think Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for his beliefs because he had nothing better to do? I believe this man had a vision. He didn't just "go with the flow", he stood behind and for what he felt was right. If you weren't a "follower" of M.L.K Jr., he didn't let it stop him. He did not let it hinder his goal. Stand up for what you believe in, no matter what the cost. If you aren't willing to die for it, or be proud of it...then stop wasting your time. Know all about it, before you profess it. There is a truth out there, will you be misguided or seek it for yourself?
Okay, anyways...thinking here. Don't have really much left to say. I could go on about addictions, but there is just too many to list. My definition for addiction is: "Something/ someone that takes over your whole life and manipulates one into believing they cannot function without it". Again, that can be numerous things. I don't believe there is anything wrong with gaming, technology, or the latest in electronics. Man has just gone and put negativity in all of it. In my opinion, it is not wrong to have an email. Someone else had to ruin the innocence of it, by introducing porn. I choose not to look at that sort of material, but I don't believe I'm wrong for continuing to email. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, cursing, and smoking are probably the most popular/and known addictions. To borrow a line from Kenny Rodgers "The Gambler": "Know when to walk away, no one to run". Everything has an off button, or a quitting time. Any questions on ethics and morality on the things that we come into contact with, you should ask your conscience. Don't get me wrong, whomever said: "let your conscience be your guide"...they deceived you. But give yourself the honesty test on any decision.
Okay, seriously...that's it. I'm spent, tired, and just rambling on now. Good night my peoples have a good day.

Slight Randomness.
Okay. Just a few things for this morning.
First, don't you just hate it when the "most annoying person" in the world opens their mouth?
I don't mean your enemy, I just mean that little twurp who gets on your nerves? I had one of those nights last night. I could have "decked the halls" with him. I didn't though. I have to remember it's not the proper, Christian things to do. I did turn the other cheek. I just wonder how God could have patience with morons like this individual.
Also, it's a new month. They say: "The most wonderful time of the year". I say, it's the most expensive, and busiest. If you have family or friends your close to, I encourage you to talk to them. You should ANY day of the year, but for some reason everyone likes to wait until the holiday's to do so. Sometimes you have the really hard-loving relatives, though it is wise to avoid them on routine...at least send them a card in spirit of the holiday. Just write something from the heart like: "Merry Christmas, I hope you get a personality for the new year".
Tonight is the Christmas Party for work, whoop-de-doo! Is all I have to say about that. One would think if you actually desire a big turn out, maybe you should give your employee's a better notice then 3 days. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go. Even The good Lord rested on the sabbath, and it's Sunday. I have to work tonight on top of that so...yea, thanks but no thanks. If I want to experience the same excitement I might get from going...I'll just go to the nursing home and watch two men race to the restroom. That's entertaining!!! J/K.
I have no problem with insightful knowledge from the wise..A*K*A "advice". There are people who have been around much, much longer than me and they have seen some things. These people I respect, and admire in some ways. I don't believe I've had the troubles they experienced in their youth, I may never get to. I have, and continue to see negativism, but I'm just learning..in "my prime" if you will. Anyhow, my point being if you haven't been around that long...then why "school me"? Some peope just have no idea what they're talking about. They are what I'd like to call "busy bodies". I mean, with all dues of respect...I have a mom. I'm guided by the Good Lord above when it comes to making decisions, and I think I have pretty good head on my shoulders. I'm not saying I know everything, because I don't and NEVER will...I'm just saying that I'm not a little kid anymore. I say if you have nothing better to do then tell people how messed up their lives are, and how much they need to change....maybe you're the one that needs to grow up. People grow wise but shutting their mouths and listening once in a while. When 's the last time these people did that?
Okay. So like now that I'm bored, and I have an hour to Sunday school...I'm calling this one a wrap. My words of wisdom for the day: "Trust is the bind that holds man together".

Just One of "Those Days"
Okay. So, it was just one of "those days". You know, when everything starts off pretty good then there's that 1 thing or person who just...ruins it? EEERRR!!! I had one of those situatons last night.
If I do something wrong, or screw up...I need correcting. I am not above authority, and I am not out to cause trouble. But, where do people get off thinking it's necessary to be condescending and rude? Regardless of whether or not I'm in the wrong, name-calling is not the proper way to address it. Let's just get this straight, my name is what I prefer to be called. It's not homey, sweetheart, baby, sugar, missy, darling, yo, woman...ect.
Okay enough of that emo session. Isen't it also funny how the weather seems to coincide perfectly with your mood? It's dark, gloomy, and a bit nippy out there. That's pretty much how I feel. I feel like the sky just getting covered up, and crowded with the clouds. Sure they will pass, but not without a little storm. What's life without a storm though, huh? It's not that you won't get them, because you will...it's toughing it out until it's over. It's about taking cover because it's gonna be a tuff one.
Good news is I'm home now. Back to my real life, back to my family and my home, back to a hot Whataburger breakfast. On top of that, it's Sunday. Even The Lord rested on the sabbath. I may have to work tonight, but I'm embracing my sabbath anyway. I'm choosing to take a rest from the evil ways of ol' Egyptland, and letting it go for the day. I said I was going to rant, calmly...so here it is.
Remember this in times of trouble: cows are brutally slaughtered everyday so you can enjoy those burgers, beef jerkey, warm leather wear, and various other things. What does that have to do with anything you might ask? I don't know, but it got your mind of your troubles for a second right? Alright well I'm calling this a rap now, I'm going to cut it short to borrow one of my friend's catch phrases:
"peace out, yo"-Z.M.
