So what's up with all the exploding personalities? Why are you so wound up? The smallest things are immediately magnified in your presence. Is everything really that serious? I doubt it. You just playing the "hard" role and you're the biggest punks out there. You're not hard so stop blowing up as though you're going to do something about it. When it's all said and done, you just punk out like every other time. So do the rest of us a favor and just shut up.
You gone blow up at this too eh? You don't even know me nor do I you - I just know your type. And quite frankly, I just wish y'all would just shut up and roll over in the beginning instead of going through all of the fireworks. Seriously, it's real annoying to those around you and it gets old fairly quickly. Do you wonder why people no longer even flinch when you say something? That's why - you won't back it up so step aside.
I'm not saying roll over and play dead. I'm not saying let people walk all over you (I am absolutely AGAINST that). I'm just saying find out who you are, embrace it, and be true to that. We all know you just frontin' when you start your whole woe-is-me-the-world-is-coming-to-an-end rants anyway. I'd appreciate if we could just skip that and get to what you're going to do about it. If you gone actually do something, then be about it & hop to it. Otherwise, spare your voice box boo!

Let It Go
Not only am I going to talk about life and the lessons that should be learned from it, but I'm also going to discuss how to organize your life for a less stressful future. I'd say a successful future, but I don't hold your destiny in my hand. I'm just going to politely offer up some suggestions, which you can take or leave. If it helps just one person, then I'm calling it good. So here we go:
First thing's first: Let's discuss THROWING THINGS AWAY! Yes, I yelled it because there are so many people out there that just can't let stuff go. Honestly, I feel like they are the same folks who hold on to grudges and hurts that eat away at your soul. It's not healthy for you or those around you. So please for at least others' sake, let it go.
And no - I'm not saying throw everything away. I'm saying, you have to get rid of unnecessary things that you don't even use anymore. It's taking up space all because you want stuff. Is it worth it? Is collecting stuff fun? Do you enjoy it? Why? [Collectors, I am not talking to you. You apparently enjoy collecting whatever it is that you collect. You cherish those things right? So that means they are not unnecessary in your world so collect away (not really, but that's another post).] What about those that don't do it for fun? I've heard all types of legitimate excuses, but keep in mind that an excuse is just that - AN EXCUSE.
"I might be audited": Scan & file accordingly.
"I might need to look at it again some day": When? Why? File it accordingly then.
"I'm saving it for my future child(ren)/grandchild(ren)": NO! Rarely is this even worth it ... think about it.
I'm sure there are many other excuses out there, but these are just a few that really ruffle my feathers. It's ridiculous how people have such an excruciating time letting things go; and this includes not only stuff, but people, ideas, etc. Understanding that letting go is a process, I will not say that it is an easy one, BUT it is absolutely necessary to life! Come on people let's get it together!

Them Blasted Co-workers...
Is it just me or do you really hate, ok, I shouldn't say "hate", how about "despise", yeah, I like that better...
Is it just me or do you really despise those co-workers that make your work life a nightmare. In this day in time, I know jobs are scarce and I wouldn't want anyone that's currently employed to become unemployed, because I've been there - But DAMMIT, I wish some people would move to another position. Or at least a different office! I know, I shouldn't give others the power or authority over my emotions, and I really don't, at least not on the regular, but I will not lie - some people really bother me...
Now in my work place, we have a couple of different types of disturbing behavior to me. I consider myself a laid-back, relaxed guy, so you will see why these type of things bother me so.
The Know-It-All: This person swears that they have the perfect answer for all problems. They are almost always correct and its just better to ask them first before even consulting anyone else and then go with their opinion only.
The Victim: This is the one that swears that everybody is out to get them and they are never at fault for in-sighting others. They were simply trying to do their job and do it the way that the boss would approve of, when all of a sudden they were harassed, mentally, physically, socially, whatever context, they were just an "innocent by-stander" when said events took place.
The Blamer: It's always someone else's fault. Even if that other person had the day, week, month off, they were responsible for something that happened while they were not even there. The Blamer often is the same person as "The Victim" and is usually the one that feels that some grave wrong has been done against them for any "little outrageous" act.
The Frantic Worker: This is the person that runs around, looking like a chicken with their head cut off. Now I've never been on a farm, nor seen a chicken with their head cut off, but I have seen co-workers, who I'd like to cut their head off, and I can tell you, it's bothersome... I like to consider myself an efficient person. One who plans to get things accomplished in a certain way, but if things do not always work out, then it's ok - We will deal with it accordingly. Panic, I mean frantic behavior is not necessary, just irritating!
The Exaggerator: This is my all time favorite... Every thing that happens is magnified 110 percent. There is no such thing as a little mistake, or boo-boo. They are convinced that something not done according to someone's specifications (usually theirs) will result in some catastrophic ending to the work world as we all know it. Every molehill must be turned into a Mountain and it cannot be resolved by anything simple. You should become as dramatic and outraged as they are or else you are not doing your job...
Now there are many more types of annoying behavior that co-workers probably exhibit on a regular basis. But I need to go back to work, before I get accused of not doing my job again...
Until next episode...
