a thought or two about standards

And this is what it means to have standards... you don't stay in a relationship where two people aren't right for each other. You don't invest more into a person who is not right for you. What you do is become friends and if they aren’t that good of a friend you drop them. You don't have a babies, you don't get married, you don't just continue going on in a relationship that is dead. Standards are a form of self respect if not the only form of self respect. Standards make you the person you are. It makes the people around you. We always talk about prejudice and how we're not supposed to pre judge people. But if our first interact doesn't live up to my standards then cancel that. I don't know how you are in real life I don't know if you had a bad day and on the other side of things who’s to say you’re not a killer or a back stabber. What if you just got out of jail for some miscellaneous crime all… I'm saying is standards are a necessity of life especially if you want to be happy with your life and the people around you. DON’T compromise them for anybody. It’s a way to survive. Standards are our natural way of telling weather something is a good thing or a bad thing. You should form standards from past experiences. So be confident in yourself that you have the right standards for the lifestyle you want to live… Just a thought

What is it about myself that I can’t keep people I like around me…

As I’ve gotten older it has been easier and easier to get rid of people… including my immediate family members… who as I stated are in my immediate family… sometimes I don’t wanna talk to anyone just so I don’t have to deal with them not communicating with me.

I’ll admit that in my growing up I have become more and more private. Allowing less and less people in my inner circle… but at this time I realize that my inner circle consist of about me and one other person… and I never thought that I would get down to that amount until I was practically married… and I’m far from it, in the sense that I have no significant other… nor have I had one in about three or four years… not that I haven’t had offers or pursued anybody… but no matter what type I think I’ve found they always end up being the same… I can’t tell if it’s something in my personality that changes these girls or if I just really keep meeting the same type of people. Maybe my way of thinking is the reason. But as far as I know I’ve thought the same way as I always have… I guess this will be a new growing project for myself… people always have people but I don’t have anybody… my best friends have disappeared, I’ve excluded my family from all of my affairs and my co-workers have other priorities. Which leave me by myself… I don’t know who I can turn to in need…

I guess the solution is me changing myself at least to the point of letting people into my life, and being more open to suggestions about my life… but what can I say I may not know where I’m headed but I do know what I like and don’t like… I have so much hope that when I move things will be different because the place that I am now is not where I wanna be…

I will never be a politician

This is the first entry of the blog called “A Voice From the People”… this is not a political blog nor do I claim to represent any group or person other then myself.

After having an interest in all things political since I was very young… I often wondered to myself what it would be like to be a political figure… back then I thought I would have to be a lawyer or have some profession that has to do with law… at one point in my life I was considering being a lawyer after everyone in my life (teachers, parents, and friends) would tell me I was gonna be a lawyer because I would argue anything that I felt was wrong… I still do that today… but I’m WAY more selective with my battles… matter of fact I don’t argue much, because I’m not in the business of making you think the way I do, I have no desire to in changing your belief system. I like to embrace people’s differences… anyway I’ve been told that I was a leader and I can influence people in to doing things that they wouldn’t normally do… I never believed this until someone broke it down to me… basically in my life I decided that I’m gonna do whatever I want that was in my means… for example where a black shirt to work when I’m suppose to wear white, not wearing safety glasses or parking in a spot that I’m not supposed to. Well in doing such things people around me thought that it was okay to do some of these things only to find out that it was not.. I wasn’t doing it because I saw someone else do it I just did it because I wanted to… okay and now back to my subject.

I will never be a politician because of the things I have done in my life. And majorly because of my belief system… at this time I’m not really at liberty to say what it is that I absolutely believe in and depending on who I’m “getting real with” the right thing to do is to believe that God (Or their God) exist and he is in charge and is the reason for everything… In another blog I will attempt to explain someof my beliefs on the subject of religion, and how it is that I have come to those concepts… anyway that is the reason that I will not be a politician because my values are not the same as the majority of Americans… AS of today… and that will matter forever…

p.s. I’m not saying that I’ll never run for office or be a political leader but as far as my background… the reasons above are reasons enough for my opponent to crush me.
