Friends and Finances

So majority of us have people in our lives who we keep extremely close. We then give title to these people of "friend". A friend is someone you talk to, confide in, and most of all trust. But the question is, "Should you trust your friends with everything, especially your money?"

You know loaning friends money shouldn't be a bad thing at all, but there is all ways that "you know as long as I got it you it" certification placed by your friends so they feel that you should not pressure them into repaying you or even expect repayment at all. THIS IS WRONG! True as a friend you feel as if you should be more lenient to your friends but to what extent is it abused? For example I loaned a homie of mine $20 one time to put in the UHAUL he rented back to a quarter tank of gas and what do you know I got got with the infamous "you know I got you back we homies" and I was like yeah I know so you good. A few months roll by and all of us guys decided to take a trip to Memphis for a football game. You know me I never asked for the $20 during this time I kind if just expected a hey B here that $20 I owe you or hey Flo I got a couple of your meals homie, but nah none of that. In fact the man went and got the deluxe breakfast at Denny's then went and bought a fresh ass pair of Nike Dunks to wear to the game in my face and I still ain't see my $20. Ultimate disrespect!

I used this example to say this, if you borrow money from your friends PAY IT BACK! Treat it as if it was one of the bills you have to pay at the end of the month, even if you have to pay them in installments PAY THEM BACK! The next thing you should do is if you are for going to buy something nice (shoes, clothes, video games, etc....) for yourself, significant other, or even your momma don't flaunt or purchase in your friend's face yes this includes ALL social networks too. Point of the matter is, if you want or trust to loan your friends money it's cool, but if you are the loanee then PAY IT BACK!

Saying No to Lonely

In the year 2013 many females said many variations of salutations to loneliness. In the hoods across America they said "bye hoe" in Spanish speaking countries they were saying "adios puta" to that hoe that has slept with every female across the globe loneliness.

I mean loneliness is a true playa only character I've ever seen or heard of to smash over a billion females majority of them in the same night, week, month, year , ehhhh you get the picture loneliness is a hoe that all these ladies end up with. Loneliness had girls in 2012 Create-a-Bae and had girls jamming out to "Love on Top" - Beyonce singing to a mystery Bae but NOT in 2013 tho.

So ladies here are a few tips to stay away from that hoe loneliness.

Step 1) Hit the gym - exercise is important not to mention a chance to help to help some guys see the potential in what you could look like after a few months in the gym

Step 2) Box Appreciation take care of your box. You know wax it and keep it clean and if you been ran thru do some of those exercises to keep it tight

Step 3) Be Open, but not thirsty- guys have the ability to smell when you're too thirsty and you give off that I'd give up the box to get with you feel. Which will lead right back to that boy loneliness creeping up your boyshorts at night.

As the wise word from the great mind if Future says "Don't be too thirsty, get used to the cheddar"

So ladies in 2013 follow these steps and "Say No to Lonely"

Side Note: "Say No to Lonely" shirts coming soon.

Apologizing

So hmmmm....yeah I'm BACK. Been gone for a minute but I'm back for good this time, just had to take care of a few situations... So this week's blog is about Apologizing, the proper way to do it and actually having a meaning behind it.

Basically "mums" the word when it comes to apologizing sometimes because we as humans naturally feel that we are ALWAYS right. No matter what the situation you can say 1+1=2, but someone will always try and make 1+1=3, but of course its just normal an innate characteristic that we all attain. So back to apologizing. If you apologize to someone you have wronged don't say "I'm apologizing to you cause I was wrong, but I'm still right"where they do that at? That is the WRONG way to apologize, if you are going to say something like that, you might as well not say it at all, especially if you stand strongly on what you did to someone or how you handled a certain situation. I'm a firm believer in standing up for something you believe in, if you don't feel that you were wrong then you shouldn't apologize, especially if you have FACTS to back up your beliefs. The Bible teaches us that we should ask God for forgiveness and our sins will be fogiven, but this must be done with a humble heart and we must confess our sins. So in other words just to say "I was wrong" is not enough. We must first admit our wrong behavior , then we should express sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:9-10). NO human on this earth is GOD, nor should they be treated like it, but we must still ask forgiveness from the ones we have offended.

Now me personally I don't take offense to much of anything that is put against me and I freely forgive everyone because it is the Christian thing to do (Colossians 3:13), but I do believe that if you are not giving a sincere apology you shouldn't, simple as that. Like I said I'm not easily offended so anything you say will just go in one ear and out the other, but clearly everyone's opinion is different on this subject. So I'm gone say this, IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHECK(talk about, jones, joke, etc....) SOMEONE, DON'T GET OFFENDED WHEN THEY CHECK YO ASS BACK. I know I have it bad about talking about people, but when people talk about me I'm not gone get offended cause 1) I probably deserved it and 2) I don't care. So if you check me don't get offended when I check back, but that's with anyone. We should all love each other, you should express hate towards no man. So this is my sincere apology. If I offended you in anyway, did anything to make you not like me or something of that nature: I APOLOGIZE. So with that said go away remembering this that GOD IS LOVE and I LOVE EVERYONE. But I will check you (and I expect you not to get offended cause its all fun), unless you tell me not to do it. I would be expecting you to check me back... Squad 424 check each other all the time, but no one gets sensitive cause I the end of the day we all got each others backs, the B'ville Crew is the same way, so with that said I'm outtie.

Thanks,

Persistence Good and Bad

The definition of persistence is persisting, esp. in spite of opposition, obstacles, or discouragement. We most here of being persistent as a good quality because it means you will not ever give up to get something you want, but what about when persistence goes wrong?

Today I was clowned by one of my coworkers about a situation that happened last year (can't lie it was pretty funny I must admit), but yeah simple story it was this girl that I liked (she had a busband) thought I could get her, but I failed, but after December last year I gave up. Me being persistent was the downfall of our friendship though we are still cool, we not as cool as we used to be mainly my fault, but hey you can't blame me for trying. This goes to prove that persistence isn't always good, it can become annoying and can cause you to wonder about peoples intentions.

Being Persistent in the case of getting a job or getting a good deal on somthing is always good cause you end up gaining in the end... I have a friend who has a very persistent female on him right now (not a good look ladies). A week after, he told her he didn't think that they could get in a relationship she just showed up at his house (some straight stalker $#i%). That is an example of being overly persistent in this case it gets bad, because now he don't even want to give her the time of day to even text him. I wrote this blog today to give an idea of how persistence can have a negative impact on you and your image. Now in the first situation, persistence didn't pay off, but I just did what any playa would do I had a plan, but yeah it failed. Second situation persistence = crazy. So with all that be very selective in what you persist to persue.

I Think I Need a Timeout

You know this is a phrase we here all the time. You here Soccer moms yelling it to their kids in Wal-Mart "Brian you get time-out when you get home mister". Or you may hear your significant other say something along the lines of "babe I think we need a timeout from our relationship (might as well consider that a break-up). And the most common timeout of all of course is in sports, but we won't get into that. But have you ever taken a timeout from your daily activities you know a personal time out. Well here are some tips for you to take a personal timeout.

1) If you claim to be "So busy" or you really are busy you should perform an evaluation of all of your activities. You know measure which ones are really important. Prioritize people.

2) Once you've done this evaluation allocate some time to do stuff that you like doing something that eases the mind.

3) Mental breaks are way more needed than physical breaks, because think about it the mind and body work together, inf the mind is out of it, then eventually the body will be too.

4) If you need some time off work, take it, if you need just sometime to yourself take it. Go for a drive listen to some good music. Take a vacation from all of your activities go some where you can relax like your hometown if you live away or take a trip to view nature, instead of flying to a 10hr trip, Drive and take in all of God's amazing creations.

You actually should take a personal time out everyday. Me I get relaxation from working out or watching something on TV that I game NO knowledge from at all, Like "Frankie and Neffie"; "Real Housewives of Atlanta"; or "Tiny and Toya. Now if you need to take a timeout from your relationship I can't help you with that, but instead of leading your significant other on, you should just take a timeout. No need for the both of you or maybe you to be miserable. Point of the matter is if you need a mental break from work, extra activities, or your relationship. Take it and I guarantee you will be a 100% happier...

Hey Young World

Whats really good people? Wake ya'll butts up and be productive today.

Young World,

I want to discuss the importance of perception for a small moment.

In today's society we cannot make excuses anymore because of the fact that we have a Black President of the United States. So now that makes it twice as hard for us as young black people cause now we are being watched even closer, than our counterparts of other ethnic backgrounds. So with that being said you should remember that you are always being watched by someone. Someone who either wants to help you or it could be somebody trying to hold you back. I don't know how long it will be before we can be seen as equals in this country, but you better believe that the struggle is not over, we still have a long fight ahead of us and its up to us to win this battle. With all the recent activities going on in the media and politics, we can see that racism is prevalent, but a lot of it remains hidden so people start to make excuses for this obvious racism, such as, "Minorities don't perform as well as others", "I don't want the President pushing any of his politcal ideas on my child." These are just two examples of what people think about us as blacks.

So Today is a day for change I'm working on this Corporate Thuggin thing and I needed to realize how I am perceived so I decided to make a change, how many of you all are willing to hop on board and join me. So whatever your biggest obstacle is you have in your life at the moment face it head on, it won't be easy, but the reward in the end is the greatest.

Oh and one more thing if you don't think you a racist then you may need to reevaluate yourself and also if you not folllowing me on Twitter you are therefore #basic and that means its an #epicfail.


Thanks,

Aren't you supposed to do that?

Ok ladies and Gents This is something that has been on my mind for a minute and thanks to one of my twitter I decided to make this topic my first blog... So here we go...

Have any of you ever been talking to somebody (male or female) and they say something along the lines of: "I'm not out here sexing everything that moves" or one of my favorites "I take care of my kids." This shit here irritates me. Why is that people expect praise for stuff they are suppose to do?

Example:
Larry and a female friend of his are having a conversation that leads to Larry having a discussion about his kid(s). Larry being the guy that he is lets his lady friend know that he takes care of his kid(s) without her even asking him. This is after Larry has had DNA test to prove that the kid(s) are his...

Now, why does Larry tell his female friend this? Because Larry is a pure idiot. If the DNA test says that it is 99.9% certain that Larry is the father, then its your responsibility to take care of the kid(s). I mean damn people think that people actually care about them doing the stuff they are supposed to do... It would be different if someone commends him on doing what's right, because we all know that there are some that don't even know what the right thing is, but because other idiots in this crazy world don't do what they are suppose to do, doesn't give you the right to brag about doing what you're suppose to do.

We all know these things you are supposed to do:

• If they are yours you should take care of your kids
• You shouldn't be trying to go to jail
• You shouldn't have kids by more than woman/man unless the second is your wife/husband
• You should be going to church
• If you not in school, then you should have a job
• You should be trying to do something with your life! Who wants to grow up to be a bum?
• You should be trying to graduate if you are in college (ain't that what college is for?)
• You shouldn't be selling drugs (that's one way to get put in jail)
• You should pay your own bills after all that are YOUR BILLS
• You should be following me on Twitter @BFLO424 and you should be reading this blog

So with that being said: People if you know someone who is praising/expecting praise or bragging on themselves for stuff that they should do in life. Please feel free to slap the crap out of them or you could simply say" IDIOT, you're suppose to do that" Then slap the crap out of them. and Tellem BFLOTOLDEM.
