Priorities

Originally I wasn't gonna write about this...just cuz I'm kinda over it already, but after writing the previous post, I'm in the mood and I might as well lol. Pretty much my mom's away for 3 weeks in Singapore like I told you guys so it's just my dad and my bro and I. It's been like a week ish and everyone's been pitching in around the house, washing dishes things like that. Especially since my dad injured his shoulder a couple months back and is still recovering and his back has been hurting, I don't want him to do as much so I and my brother both try to alleviate any stresses or pressures he feels he has. But as of late, I feel like my brother hasn't been pulling his weight, and it's something I've always been annoyed at him about. Today for example...my brother and I are home...my dad comes home from work and goes let's go out for dinner, I'm tired and don't want to cook and we barely go out, so let's go. I'm down and I say I'm ready. My brother...says he's showered already and doesn't feel like going out. For some reason, my brother's logic is once he's showered, he can't do anything...no housework, no chores, he can't step outside or anything. So I went upstairs to try to convince him cuz I know dad's tired from a long day of work and I don't want him to cook either, plus it'll be nice since we actually don't go out that often. My brother just says no, he's tired, blah blah...and I slowly start to get annoyed. Cuz he has no good reason...I know if he doesn't go he'll just end up sitting in front of his damn computer doing absolutely nothing productive. AND what really pisses me off is no matter how long my brother has worked or how tired he is, if his friends call him out or if a girl calls hi out to go chilml or have drinks he'll go out in a heartbeat...even if he's showered.And that really pisses me off...and I told him too....dad's tired, I don't want him to work, let's just go out...it really pisses me off just to know where his priorities are. And he's a brat because he knows even tho he doesn't go out to eat with us, dad will still bring back something for him....but whatever, I'm over it, I talked with my dad in the car and he said the exact same thing....how my brother would go out in an instant with his friends but won't come out to dinner with his own family...whatever...my brother still has a lot of growingup to do...I ain't even sweating this anymore...just thought I'd share it with you guys tho...

Climbing Your Inner Ladder

I was having dinner with my dad and he like he always does started lecturing me about life and such. He was talking about my brother and me, and just life, jobs, finance, things like that. And he was saying how life is like climbing a ladder...and he pointed out that my brother is stuck at a certain point at the ladder...he's not even halfway yet, but he's content you know. He's content with where he's at, even though he sees how high there is left to go and how much room there is to climb higher, he's content with where he is. Not only is he content with where he is, but he's scared to move up or down...for fear of failure...for fear of falling. Then he started looking at me...and said that in life, you have to keep climbing up, climbing the ladder...or you'll never know what's ins tore for you. Like my brother for example is stuck in this phase of his life...working the same job for 5 years, no change...but he's scared of change...and this fear of change prevents him from improving at all. Cuz he's scared to try and look for a new job for fear of failure...he's content, he's comfortable. Then I just look at my life...how I want to keep climbing the ladder and see what I can do, see what my potential or where my potential can get me. I don't wanna be stuck in the same place. Yeah I might fail or fall off the ladder or get knocked down a few steps...but that\s part of life...and there's nothing stopping me from getting back on the ladder or trying to climb up again you know. I guess the biggest thing I took away is that it's crazy how the fear of change and failure can stunt your growth and prevent you from imrpoving.

When We Started...

I love looking back at the blog and just reminiscing to when I first started. I always tell the story so I'll spare you the details. But I'm talking about when I first started and I would promote it and post it everywhere to the point where people would actually get annoyed at me lol. I remember starting off and nobody believing in me, even my own friends would jokingly be like oh well no one goes on your blog. Obv they were joking, but there was some truth to it as well, then just seeing those numbers and hits increase and seeing the numerous countries visit my blog, it definitely kept me motivated. As of late, I've been going through old posts from 2011...the year that I feel the blog officially blew up lol, it's nice just to see how far we've come and how many people we've reached. But at the same time, how far we've come and how much we've done is nowhere near the dreams and visions I/ have for this blog...and I guess that's one of the things that's been keeping me motivated as of late, to keep going, aside from the consistent visitors, just the thought of the potential and what this blog can become in the future...that definitely keeps me at it and keeps me motivated.

Love Songs

Random thought,but I was doing dishes the other day and I felt like singing lol...so I made a playlist of just songs that you can sing along to and it was a mix of like slow songs like Usher, Ne-Yo to even songs from artists like Nickelback lol...but yeah I had this really funny yet interesting thought when I was doing the dishes and singing. When you listen to these songs...specifically slow songs or love songs...a question to you is, who do you think about, who's the first person that comes to your mind...just saying, it says a lot when you're singing songs about oh I want you girl, oh let me be your man...and you're thinking about a girl, it says a lot subconsciously I feel. I dunno, that's just pretty random, no idea where that came from lol, just a thought...
