one monkey don't stop no show...

sometimes....something happens to u and u think the world should come to a screeching halt...if only for a moment...just to acknowledge YOU...YOUR triumphs...YOUR victories...and maybe even YOUR loss...YOUR devastation....but...there are too many things going on in this universe that r not about YOU (this line borrowed from PDL or so i'm told)...

but every now and then...don't u want it to be just about YOU?...don't u want to have selfish moments and not be able to feel any guilt about it?...sometimes...being thoughtful and considerate and caring and gracious and kind can be tiring...most of the time...it's easy...but SOMETIMES...

i want to just do what i want to do....when i want to do it...how i want to do it...why it want to do it...with no thought for how it affects anyone but me...

and sometimes...i am looking into the eyes of the world...facing my fears...hand on my hip....smile on my brave face...all the while.... i'm screaming on the inside....

I AM THE SHOWSTOPPER and IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT ME...

maybe the show should stop for one monkey....sometimes....

okay...y'all are taking this topic in a totally different direction than what i had in mind...

for me...this topic is about the very shallow topic of selfishness...wanting to be the center of attention...wanting to have ALL EYES ON ME...living life with no thought of the consequences of your actions...being the headliner...getting your 15 minutes of fame and then some...

just saying fuck it...today...i am going to do what i want to do and the rest of y'all can kiss my ass cause i'm doing ME like i want to do ME!!!!

hayze...now you're feeling me, playa...

DasKrait said...

yeah, i was getting confused about some tangents, to me
at least, but it took me abit at least to conclude in my life that EVERYONE REALLY should be the center of their universe, not have someone else as the center.
you know, be considerate and respectful of others of course, but who exactly IS number one anyway??

@LegalDiva - read your late yesterday about the judges.
the real point in that, aside from the democracy thing,
meaning compromise, was that (directed to the anonymous)
we CANNOT always get what we want....so if someone anonymous wants to ask private questions, i can merely
go 'nice read'..chuckle..don't discuss anything current
publicly ANYWAY.

HI QS2....chuckle

DasKrait said...

hazyeblu - yes, know the type, need/expect to be the
center of other people's universe as well. sometimes
'only-child' syndrome, or youngest at least.

SexyCool said...

yeah, yeah, yeah...live a life and let your light shine so that men might see...judgement day, right...all that, all that, all that...

but...sometimes, you need to pat your own damn self on the back and say...i am pret-tee damn fabulous...cause more often that not...if you wait on the recognition, it will be too little to late...

so...if you celebrate ya' damn self...recognition from others is just bonus...right?

blackice...ya' got mail...

DasKrait said...

I know the 'behind-the-scenes/we don't need the praise,
after all WE KNOW what WE did' SUPPOSED to be a Capricorn trait....or so the astrology believers tell me....chuckle

DasKrait said...

@ wise - LMAO - 'blog stud'??...but i never kiss and tell....musta heard that from someone else....

DasKrait said...

@Bgrits - yeah, I always like to say "Okay, your opinion has been noted, filed, and management will review when the opportunity arises"....

DasKrait said...

cey - yeah, i also have been self-sufficient since age 17.(h.s. dropout with two college degrees). I mentioned way back on ajc my dad a very negative person. I feel that limiting contact with him, for many years, allowed me to NOT have the negativity I still see in a younger sibling. If you surround yourself with negative people, you become negative. Only allow postitive people, you maintain positive.

DasKrait said...

negative person - always seeing how you can NOT do something.

positive person - always seeing that ANYTHING is possible.

DasKrait said...

good morning, emotion...

DasKrait said...

LOL @ Suga - i doubt anyone actually THOUGHT that, but since you brought it up.....chuckle

SexyCool said...

they're trying to explain the presence of another man's semen by saying she put on "unwashed underwear"...

i don't know what worse...having the world think i'm a slut...or having the world think i'm a nasty ass that wears dirty draws....

DasKrait said...

Wise - actually it has been a drama-free day
(aw, imagine that, THE HORROR)....oh, SO FAR..
it is only 2:20 EST

but I am with QS2 on that "Spare the Drama". or something like that.

DasKrait said...

of the top five MOST FAVE bumper stickers EVER,
one I used to see in LA all the time:

I IS A COLLEGE STUDENT

LOVED it.

DasKrait said...

gee, i'm on a roll........

another one was (i assume some dive bar in West Covina)

Liquor in the Front
Poker in the Rear


sorry CSC, I'll stay away from the Sticks and Stones.

i just found out that my girlfriend's parents have come to atlanta with a uhaul truck and taken half the damn furniture out of the house that she shared with her husband...all of her clothes to the point of asking about certain items like leather jackets and shit and personal property to the point of saying, "I know she had more cd's than this."

AND because the nameplate in her casket did not have her full name (meaning maiden name, because she was hyphenated), they had the masoleum vault opened and the name plate changed to include their last name...

i'm sure there's more...i just haven't heard it all...

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TRIFLING...

DasKrait said...

yeah, i get that page-not-found sometimes, thought it
on our end
i just close the browser and re-open

hazyeblu(i can never get that right)
my bumper sticker related to a different post.

SexyCool said...

cocaine is a hell of a drug...

DasKrait said...

yeah, i have always HATING dealing with cokeheads, it is
so consuming, NOTHING else matters.....
and I am always short on KY

SexyCool said...

just got off the phone with my girlfriend's husband...he said that they told him he wasn't their son-in-law anymore...

grief is no excuse for pettiness and ugliness...if anything, it's like they say about getting drunk...your true nature shows...

SexyCool said...

he says that they had an amicable relationship...he did not have any indication prior to this that they would behave in this fashion...

they were trying to take the man's WEDDING PICTURES!!!

he is FLOORED!!!

SexyCool said...

they told him that most of the people in the pictures were their family and he didn't know them anyway...

SexyCool said...

he realizes that they had no legal rights to ANY of her belongings...however...he has been trying to be the better person in all of this and to honor charlotte's memory...

they are acting like complete asses...they took her car, all the furniture with the exception of the master bedroom...the man even had to go out and buy a television when they left his house on sunday...

they wiped him out...and called him back last night to ask him about more bullshit...

it was at this point that he put his foot down...he's cutting off all contact with them...not taking anymore of their abuse...and not allowing them to take any more of HIS property from HIS house...

HELLO BLOG FAM,

Good topic again today,

Shout out to STR8,CSC,WDIVA

Sorry Blog fam,

This me ESSENCE.. forgot to also shout out to CEY!

DasKrait said...

CSC - people go through weird stuff when they loose a loved one but the taking of HIS wedding pictures?

ATL - thanks for the book recommendation.

DasKrait said...

oh ENIGMA - if you were sitting there reading a magazine, they would not bother you, it is only when
you are OBVIOUSLY busy, they like to demonstrate their
"importance" (in tying you up)

SexyCool said...

fortunately, no kids were involved...

and although it sounds crazy...i'm kind of glad that it's happening like this...

hear me out...

this way...when his grieving process is over and he is ready to move on with his life (i.e. dating, etc.)...he will have less of a tie to her other than his memories...there will be less bullshit to deal with from her family...

DasKrait said...

sounds like another good example of nice-guys-finish-last? tries to be 'accomodating' and gets the shaft?

SexyCool said...

hayze...positive is where i live...

no problem on the subject change...we are here to talk about whatever...and even though I AM THE SHOWSTOPPER...it doesn't have to ALWAYS be about me...

SexyCool said...

i re-read my comment about dude's grieving process being over...wanted to clear that up...don't think a grieving process ever really ends...just think that you move into different stages...

SexyCool said...

hayze...i like so much of what i read from you that i might have to start flirting with you...

but then again...we don't want another episode of blog confessions...

SexyCool said...

hayze...that is so NOT me in the avatar up top...but it does give you a peek into my psyche...makes ya' think, huh?

SexyCool said...

cey...my theory with kobe is that this colorado chick is not the first time that he's done something like this...it's just the first time he got caught...

as for the florida women...shit in print looks so horrible...she was probably flirting with him as hard as he was flirting with her...IF...there is any truth to this story...which is why her ass hasn't come forward prior to...

SexyCool said...

okay...gotta go do an work related after work thing...really don't want to...but...office politics...oh, well...
