Whats so special about da prodigal son?

I am sure everyone either knows of or has heard of the the prodigal son...ya know the story about the guy who was promised a portion of his Dad's fortune upon his death. Well the son wanted his rewards now- while he was young and restless, before general hospital,during the days of our lives,while following the guiding light...Ok, I went too far, but I am back on track now. 2 make the long and short, the Dad gave him his money when he asked for it and the son went out and straight blew it on clothes and hoes all a brother knows-lol. It got so bad that he had to eat food with pigs. That is a stinky situation. He had truly hit rock bottom, but decided that he would swallow that pride and go back to his daddy's camp and take it from there.
Well his old man was very surprised to see his son come back home, and immediately took him back with open arms. See his Dad, was a good dude who made it easier for his son to come back and admit he was wrong. He could have spent hours telling his son what he obviously knew by now, rather he threw him a party for him. Now that's what genuine love is. Image if parents were like that now a days! (know my relationship with my father would be much better, but hey you gotta start somewhere.) The application for today is this: We would benefit others if we allow room for error and forgiveness for mistakes. At times we make mistakes and feel uneasy or unsure about how to admit we erred in judgement. This is not always easy, but sometimes, we all have to turn the other cheek (unless you are in a men's prison)
To my hommie who inspired this blog, I am glad you got the jest of this story....

Wild and pRejudice Wednesdaze

Lately I have been doing extremely well with this new routine of mine. I get up do my parental thang with the kids and get them to the bus stop and head off to start my day. I usually return home and tidy up the kribb, watch Judge Mathis, check email, study the scriptures (daily), run errands and make sure all the bills are current. I normally get done with everything around 1pm, which allows me time for a napp or a quick work out at the YMCA!
*******Wednesday Highlights!!*******
*Funny thing happened when I was shopping at Wal-Mart today! I was walking behind a white lady as I was exiting and the lady waved by to the Wal-Mart greeter and she waved back. So I did the same thing, but the lady stopped me and asked to see my receipt and I had half the items of the white lady!! Coincidence or Not, you decide.
*An ex friend put on the webb that she has been going to worship service and doing it on the regular. She seemed to be a peace with this decision, So I asked her on her web page how it was working for her to show my support and excitement for her. She took it all the wrong way and told me I shouldn't talk about things I know nothing about!! I guess that was her christian side talking-lol! I don't know what she is learning but she convinced me that I don't want no parts of it if it makes you evil. She also gave me the message of K.M.A, obviously another religious term of endearment. I wish this old friend well, cause I enjoy positive people and let the negative drama queen's go to yoga class.....lol!
*Bought the new Steve Harvey book. Nothing surprising in there for men, but women may like it. Its like the Wizard of Oz...the truth is in you all along, you just don't want to see it.....
*Rented a small storage unit for my lawn equipment and extra tires and rims etc. Seemed routine enough, until I walked in Storage USA and asked for the smallest unit and this one toothed, greasy haired attendant told me he just repo'd my stuff last week. I was shocked and bothered. I explained to him that he must have me confused with someone else cause I was there to rent a space. He said he was sure it was me until he ran my information. He spent the next 20 minutes trying to convince me how sorry he was. That only meant a steep discount for me. Oh well, I guess all black people do look alike???
*Finally, I went to Tire Barn to get some work done on my rim and found the sales people to be very insightful. They were trying to sell me everything that I did not need or want for my car, but it showed how in this economy that businesses are trying to get all the money they can from current customers. Very smart.....

Da Womanizer

I have learned that in order to grow, one must be open to a variety of experiences that life has to offer. In doing so, one of the things that I do is read! I read books on everything, from relationships to books on how do this or that. The title obviously gives away my topic, so without further a do-do let me talk about this brother's blog that I recently read and what it taught me about life.
This guy says he is an average looking brother and involved in a steady relationship. He however, has a tendency to meet many (many-many) women and date and sex them up and move on. He even compared them to rental cars. He has a car that he is very happy with (his main woman) but he loves to test drive other cars. I find that a brilliant comparison, by the way! Anyway, I was so shocked to read some of this guys experiences because I think he is leaving a trail of hurt women who are gonna one day catch up to him and not in a good way. I believe this brother is about 25 years old and I understand that men sometimes go through this player faze, but can it be safe of wise in 2009? When people write blogs and are very honest, they are allowing you to get to know them personally thus letting you form an opinion of them. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing his blog site, but I encourage you to check out this site and see what I am talking about.
My summary is this....Men beware of damaged women and women get in where you fit in. I personally am still in shock.

Please teach me customer service skills

Why did I go to the umemployement office today to inquire about my coins? I did everything from my home but there was a hold up. My other underemployed hommie said just go down there, they get you in and out really fast. So I went down there as suggested. I saw my boi Everette down there (what up) and from there it went down hill fast. The negative lady who assisted on me had a very harsh tone, and kept over talking me before I could finish a sentence. That must be how they get you out so fast! Finally, I just stood there and let her tell to me what I had already did, then told her where the error was occurring. She said, oh I see, the problem is solved we will pay you for 3 payments next week and turned her head and starting talking to her co-worker about the octomom!
I was like o.k......and walked away. I now have a better understanding of why people get snapped on. I just wonder how many other people this lady treated that way. And to think, I thought only the license branch treated people like they just don't give a dang.

What i LEARNED too day

You can say what you want about Wacko Jacko, but my man sold out 750,000 tickets in less than four hours 4 his final world tour. I guess you gotta give him Chris Brown respect: You like his music and entertainment value and what he does in his personal life is between him and his God! I would love to go see the fair well tour myself, but I heard he may have a stunt double 2 do his bidding. He is rather frail for a 50 year old??
Its really ironic that people are so quick to dismiss a relationship, friendship or marriage. I guess its just another sign of the times, didn't Prince try to told ya that back in the days. I think as quick as society makes you a star, they can tear you down even quicker, then turn around and accept you again. Just ask Kobe Bryant, R.Kelly or Marion Berry!!
I often hear of the Bible characters Johnathan and David who were good friends. I can respect that and it even helps me comprehend what makes a good friendship. Quite simply its what I learned today. "A friendship is as strong as it adversity". If you can accept that your friend, lover, mate or significant other is imperfect and you can be a good forgiver, then my friend what you have is real!
Think about the picture above, if this dude had a real friend how would his life be? All I know is that I need to ponder this point and see where it takes me. What about you, do you have a strong relationship with someone?

Why I love my daughters

Sometimes I have to laugh inside because of the many joys my daughters bring to my life. I see them growing up right before my eyes and I enjoy every moment of it. I am very aware of each year that passes by and it is constantly getting better. I mean the girls are 7 and 8.5 now and can clean the house really well, cook a variety of foods and read and speak Spanish really well!
I listen to them argue and fuss with each other and then turn around and laugh as if nothing ever happened. I guess when you are kids you don't know the art of holding on to a grudge for several days. I hear them learning to Joan on each other like I do with the skill of a veteran. One day my 8 year old came home crying because a boy told her that her teeth were crooked. I recall sitting down with her and sharing a piece of pound cake and telling her to learn to use her mouth. I said "next time say that it is true that some of your teeth are crooked and you will be getting braces to fix that but his ugliness will last on him forever". She laughed and came back home the next day saying how the whole class was laughing with her this time and she said I was the best Dad in the whole world! I know that statement is not true, but for the moment I think she really felt that way.
My 7 year old has my creative style of scamology. I think I better pay extra attention to her because she has learned very well. I choose not to get deep on that subject on the grounds that may incriminate ME!!!
Anyway, I love them because they are me of the past in the future, yet to come. They remind me to not take life so serious and to always remember that little people have feelings too but they just want to get along with everybody. Thanks for the life lessons girls. In case I never tell U again, Daddy loves you mucho mucho!

Communication

HOW IS Louise?......this is hilarious!

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph?s Hospital. She timidly asked, ' Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing? '

The operator said, ' I ' ll be glad to help, dear. What ' s the name and room number? '


The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, ' Louise W. Room 302. ' The operator replied, ' Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, ' Oh, I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Louise is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday. '
The grandmother said, ' Thank you. That ' s wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news. '
The operator replied, ' You ' re more than welcome. Is Louise your daughter? '
The grandmother said, ' No, I ' m Louise W. in 302. No one tells me shit. '


Ward up yall.....
