Dew sumthing strange for some change!


I was talking to my to one of my boys who....lets just say he was into pharmaceutical sales. He told me how he had tens of thousands of dollars on a given day and how he sta8ight jacked it off because he was living just for today. He told me that he knew he could be killed or die at any given moment. I just couldn't comprehend that logic. I didnt' think I was superior to him in anyway, I just always envisioned the things I would do if I had a windfall like that!

So me being that dude that I am, I had to know what was the reasoning behind this line of thought. He told me that like many a dude in his situation- he wasn't use to having much and was only living for the moment. Investing in the future wasn't a realistic option in his line of work. Suddenly it started 2 make sense. My goal in life was often revolving about finishing school to get that good job, paying them bills on time so I can keep my credit straight and saving up money so the kids can have things that I didn't have as a kid. I knew what I wanted and I knew what I needed to do. My guy was looking at this from his vantage point: Get it now anyway you can! Shoot, I know that I could have flipped this dude's money over 3 or 4 times and made us both rich, but hey that is my thinking again-lol!
Isn't it funny how opposites attract, ya know light skinned women and dark men, greedy people and victims, outgoing personalities and introverts. We seem to like something or someone that is unique N comparison to ourselves. When it comes to my thoughts on my dude, I was envious of all the money he had but not really aware of his inner demons. And I know he totally unaware about my worries-lol!

I guess I learned that the grass isn't greener on the other side. It just means I need to spend more time watering my own back yard ~_~
