THE SUBTWEET........

Subtle messages, those little tidbits you say in the middle of conversations that are actually directed to someone other than the person you are talking to. Those little things are one of the most destructive modes of communication. I'm guessing you are wondering what I am talking about, well I have a real life personal example.
So I was pissed at my significant other at some point, you ask me why now I wouldn't know. The reason why is usually not the point it is just how the person reacts to it or tries to solve it, I may be wrong. So I started pouting, ignoring her and all in all pretending like she didn't exist. This lasted two days where I got heart burn and was constantly miserable. So after my so called silent treatment I picked up the phone and called her and she answers with a cheerful voice like nothing has happened. I'm even more pissed than before so we sit and talk and she is actually shocked. She spent her weekend relaxed at home binge watching TV while I was depressed and hurting. I'm guessing you are now asking how the hell she was supposed to know, well my strategy was dropping messages on Facebook and twitter hoping she would get them. In reality I was doing what they called winking in the dark as she wasn't on social media and even if she was she wouldn't get what I was saying. So she laughed and my anger turned into mild embarrassment and eventually faded.
Just remember that however much you think your partner knows you, sometimes you have to spell it out or you are going to suffer alone....

Always looking out for number 1

I just got a new job that is sales in nature , my previous job was an I.T. position which gave me a chance to compare the differences between humans and machines. A machine is supposed to be predictable ,with a particular set of inputs you get a particular set of outputs. A human is supposed to be unpredictable where one group wants to go left there is this guy who always wants to go right. However, I realized that machines can be at some point unpredictable while the humans vice versa. A human will be predictable in that every little situation you bring to him will only flow with your idea if and only if it is of some benefit to them. That brings me to the basis of this topic today, number in is you and your immediate interests and issues if importance. With that being said, I would love to burst the bubbles of certain individuals who seem to rely too much on other people. If you are an adult and probably approaching middle age, you are of three different levels of life : accomplis...

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

She ain't going nowhere.....

Loneliness has always been a a friend of mine, way back when my thoughts were my own and very few people knew of my very existence.  Today the loneliness is back and it's back with a vengeance. "So what you upto tonight?" Asked John knocking me out of my deep thoughts. "Nothing much , got some writing to do and the words are at my finger tips and I don't want to lose them." I replied. John has always wanted the best for me, sort of like the big brother I never had. He opened up his doors to me this time when Mary threw me out for the first time. Who is Mary you ask. Where to start about Mary, well she was my first love and the first person who knew me behind the curtain I raised for most people. What did I do to get kicked out...  "STOP DAYDREAMING DUDE!!!" John screamed while shaking me. I hadn't noticed I had just wondered off. "Okay Bro,  since you are determined to stray my thoughts what do you have in mind?" I said hoping he...
