They Come They Go, Friends and Foes

I don’t know when it started to be cool to say you have haters or enemies, because it’s not really cool, it’s just lame.  Hating on others or declaring someone your enemies is wack.  I am sorry that’s just how I feel.  What do you think?  Some people make it a very proud thing to mention to others to boost their morale, and I can understand the logic, as you use the bad as motivation to be positive, but how positive is that really?

I must admit, I don’t believe in such things.  There are hateful people, dumb people, and real destructive people in this world, but to acknowledge them is weak.  There are just very disoriented people, confused, lack that certain something.  I guess I just choose to omit all common used words and trends, for how is it really helping by continuing it?

I think people need to be more aware and prepared in life for all the good and bad and educate themselves.  You are going to have best friends that become your enemies, you will also find that one day even your enemy will become your friend, but it’s the knowledge and the readiness to build a strong “YOU” that makes you much more powerful and in control of what happened that will affect you as a person.  I know there are the cocky people out there or the ones that loves to brag, but the good and the bad come and go like a fad.  So be glad you are alive, and you can open your eyes, break these stereotypes and be you, the real you, all day, and all night.

Remember to educate your friends, your family and even strangers who may need help for we all someday need to go, and be strong to move on and be happy being yourself no matter who is there whether it’s a friend, family, boyfriend or so on, because everyone come and goes.  And for the ones that stay, they are special and should be cherished for simply being authentic.

Have you ever have this happen to you?  What are your thoughts and opinions of this post?

Let me know your thoughts.

My friend Kareem, has to be like the coolest dude

I love my friends, and making new friends in another cool aspect to me.  What can I say about my friend Kareem?  Hmmm, he is cool, he is down to earth, he always laughs, he has a quite humorous and blunt way to tell a story, and oh yea he is mad cool.  Ever since I met Kareem at a place of go to workout (don’t worry its a secret spot) and starting up a conversation with him, (because he was new to the spot and reserved) he has come to be one of the most amazing new friends I have had in a long time.  I don’t know what it was that made us cool, but it just worked out.  I think I was first interested in being friends via he was a math tutor and very nice at Calculus and I so terrible at it (received a D it, got my credit though), and I figured maybe he could help me out one day to understand the madness of it all.

Kareem over the say 3 years I have known him is just a good friend.  I wish I had more friends like Kareem.  It’s just how the way we interact and make fun of things and still hone in on our responsibilities in life and not take things to serious is a refreshing thing.  He just likes to help and fun to be around.  Just like the other day he had got a gym membership to work out and met up with me at the gym, and you lift some weights, hit some cardio, and I was thinking like damn, I want to go to Target and buy this lamp, (me being cheap like usual not wanting to pay $59.99 plus a $18.00 shipping, when it is like that far from me) Kareem was like, yo homie, we out, end of story.  I know that don’t sound like a great explanation, I tend to mention too many details and write a million words.  Either way he is mad cool, and just a real true friend, even more like another brother to me, and I appreciate that.

I can’t wait to battle him this year again on the basketball court.  This would make the 3 year of us having our one on one basketball battle, I always wins most of them, but the way he wins his makes mine don’t even count.   His win equals like 4 of mines, ummm maybe I am being too modest :).  Either way, if you ever meet my homie Kareem, he is just a cool dude.

Oh yea did I mention, he wants to be a civil engineer, so if you have any tips for him, let me know so he can be better advised on his field as he goes to college within the field.  Anyone with a hook up or intern position available?
