Shaky Ground/TGIF

Happy Friday Everyone....

This week the earth shook,moved,cracked, and gave a entirely different meaning to Carole King's classic 'Tapestry'. The earth quake happened on several occasions. For us California residents, normally this isn't something we give much attention. With three in one week, and after shocks, Makes you start to take notice.

Lately we've experience the swine flu scare. No one really knows where it came from, so the blame has been put on Mexico. Who really knows. Seems that most are on the path to do better, and get their lives in order. You must have a goal to focus on, hanging out day to day with no direction, can only lead to trouble and stagnation.

Old habits are hard to break, yet you can change any pattern in 21 days. Most are afraid to try new things alone, so it's much easier to try new things with friends, family or a spouse or lover. Why is it easier for us to get motivated to exercise when the weather gets warm, when it's easier to really focus and do it the right way, in the winter, which would give you a good full six months to slim down and shape up. Most of us find ourselves cuddling in the winter and carrying a few extra pounds, with the comfort of knowing the we can put off exercising, because summer is months away.

So here were are, we've had a few earthquakes this week. We've experienced the swine flu scare. Gas is starting to make it's price increase(again). We're all fearful of unemployment. The recession is in full effect. How long can we stand 'in' and continue to be encouraged? So a little thing like 21 days to put something 'new' into effect, seems like the lessor of evils. Remember time is never patient, as it continues to keep moving, just like the earth moves, we get four seasons....

What are you doing with your life?



P.S. I'm sad to announce that 'The Game' has been canceled by the CW network, after a strong three year run. To my fellow writers, artists, continue to press forth....it's not always easy. Good work isn't always rewarded.

  1. THAT IS WHY WE SHOULD NOT TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED.

    LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE OUR LAST. ONE DAY AT A TIME. REMEMBER, “GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD”

    LIVE;LOVE(UNCONDITIONLY);LAUGH. SEASONS WON’T BE THE SAME AT ALL TIMES. YOUR SPRING MAY BE MY FALL.;
    JUST REMEMBER THIS TO SHALL PASS. KEEP PRESSING ON WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE IN THE PROCESS AND STRIVE
    FOR LIVING A GLORIFIED LIFE.



    ENJOY THIS MEMORIAL WEEKEND AND I KNOW WE WON’T FORGET OUR LOVED ONES.

    WHY IS “THE GAME” BEING CANCELLED?
    IS IT BECAUSE OF RATINGS?
    I REALLY ENJOYED THE SHOW.

  5. Well spoken Kev,I really like the "21 days" theme.Also the fact that "hangimg out"with no direction can lead to stagnation at the very least.Staying in shape,swine flu,economics and the overall environmental climate are four good reasons alone in regards to getting it together.

    Thanks for the words.

  6. Sometimes mother nature lends us a hand with population control. Be it in the
    form of disease, wars, and natural disasters, or just the ignorance of man.
    These moments test us and force us to reflect and call upon our inner strengths
    and/or weaknesses.

    I try to never let my life get to that point before i move ahead. Im gonna ride
    out whatever mother nature has in store for us, and continue on with lifes plan.
    Little bumps in the road inspire me to seek a new path. Im too blessed to be
    stressed!

    One love.....

  7. The cw network is a racist network. The game was bound to fail, because they never promoted the show. Guess the powers that be, don't believe that african americans are a viable source, when we're not killing each other and selling drugs. This is bullsh*t. Now I have nothing to watch on television.
