Time out for Excuses

"Excuses are tools of incompetence that builds monuments of nothingness. Those who use them seldom amount to anything." How many of you do or know people that always making excuses about something? Why you were late, why you didn't do your homework, why you did what you did. Excuses just because you can. Excuse means: To try to remove blame; to make apology for. If we do what we are suppose to do the first time, then we wouldn't have to make excuses for our actions. It is time out for excuses. We are getting to old to lie to each other. We all  have been lied to enough so why must we lie to ourselves? Put away the excuses and tell what you really feel. Tell the reason why you were late (because you were somewhere running your mouth and just didn't want to come back) or you didn't do your homework because you forgot, didn't know how or just wasn't going to do it. Life is short and its time to enjoy it. They say it take more out of you to come up with an excuse then it would to just tell the truth in the first place. So take the first 2 sentences and add them to memory so the next time you want to come up with an excuse, you won't. Sending Love! ~Ms. A

Stress Free Thursday

Good Morning Sunshine! Its a gloomy Thursday but we going to make it a stress free day! Stress is defined as:

1a : a force exerted when one body or body part presses on, pulls on, pushes against, or tends to compress or twist another body or body part; especially : the intensity of this mutual force commonly expressed in pounds per square inch b : the deformation caused in a body by such a force

2a : a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation b : a state of bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium

3: the force exerted between teeth of the upper and lower jaws during mastication

Ms. A's definition: TOO MUCH TO DO IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME!
Today we are going to take this day to be stress free. We are going to do what we can and that's it. No stress over anything. Keep your head up and keep smiling. Don't let the small stuff worry you today because its all small stuff. Try to sit back and enjoy your day! Take time out for you and do things you enjoy. Sending Love! ~Ms. A

And Article on Saggin

WHAT A WASTE

Imagine this. You are out at one of the hottest night spots in the city, the music is pumping, the drinks are flowing and you get approached by the most attractive man there (or so you thought). His skin is smooth, smile is flawless, the right height and perfect build, with the alluring smell of Clive Christian, hair nicely cut, beard and mustache freshly groomed and decent conversation so far. Then he turns around to get you a drink and he almost trips and falls because his pants are sagging. Ladies, I hated to build you up for such disappointment, but it happened to me. You should have seen the look on my face. My first thought was “Aren’t you too old to be sagging your pants?” But, I don’t like to see sagging pants on anybody. What a waste. I was so turned off that I didn’t even wait around for the drink.
Let me be the first to say that I am a huge fan of fashion and I am very open to new styles and trends, but I am definitely NOT a fan of sagging pants. I cannot think of a more unattractive way to present your self and wear you clothes. I don’t care how much money you spend on your clothes as long as they look nice, but why spend money on designer labels such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Sean Jean, Ralph Lauren, Christian Audigier and True Religion if you are only going to take away from the design by sagging? You don’t have to wear skinny jeans because I am not a fan of men wearing those either, but you will definitely look more polished and attractive when your clothes fit you properly.
It has really gotten out of hand over the years. It started out with the “baggy look” to people being able to see these “saggers” entire boxer shorts. To make it even crazier, they are actually wearing a belt, so it’s not like there is not way to keep the pants up. I’m so tired of being out and walking behind a guy that is constantly pulling up his sagging pants. Some of them even have the nerve to make the belt tight enough so that the waists of the pants stay right below the buttocks. What is the point?

SO YOU REPPING PRISON??

HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED

As it turns out, this trend of “sagging” has been around for a long time and started in the prison system. Here are two reasons that I found out why it started there:

1. Prisoners are not allowed to have belts or shoestrings in prison for fear of danger to self and/or other inmates, so their pants would tend to sag after losing weight or just ill-fitted pants.
2. It was a code or invitation for other homosexual inmates to be able to recognize each other.

Lets keep it real. If it is anything associated with being in prison, how positive can it be? It does not look good on children or adults no matter what the setting or occasion is.
It seemed as though people had stop making a big issue out of it until this year when a 62-year-old civil rights leader by the name of General Larry Platt auditioned on the popular talent show American Idol when he performed a song he wrote called, Pants On The Ground. Although, he was too old to make the cut, the song turned out to be a huge hit and he was invited back on the show for the American Idol Finale. So with all of this being said, Guys stop looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

Saggin' because.....

Good Morning Sunshine! I hope you are well! Its Wednesday so that means we half way through the week. As I have been out and about and just sitting looking the question comes to me, WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? Why do some many guys sag their pants? Do they think its sexy? Do they think its a turn on for women? Do they think it makes them a man? I asked the question to my friend and asked him was he a man? He got offend by me questioning him being a man and I let him know a MAN don't sag his pants. He shut up! Point was taking. So I ask you, why do you sag your pants? Its not cute! Its not sexy! Its rude and disrespectful. Sagging is something that was down in prison because prisoners was not allowed to have belts or shoestrings. Rappers do because they trying to sale something that they are not. If you catch them doing busy or outside of the "spotlight" their pants are pulled up and look very professional. Of course you have the ones that want to keep the "bad" rep that they have to the world. I just want to know your views and thoughts on sagging. Something you may not know but if you take saggin and spell it backwards its niggas! Sending Love! ~ Ms. A


Happy Birthday Tyrick!

Let's Go Vote!

Good Morning Sunshine! How many of you are 18? How many of you are registered to vote? How many of you are going to vote tomorrow? If you answered no to any of these questions, you need to think about this again. If you are not 18, then encouraged someone who is old enough to go vote. If you are not registered to vote, shame on you! You need to go registered ASAP! If you not going tomorrow to vote, please go. You have a voice and it needs to be heard. This election is just as important as the election for President. The people we choose tomorrow will determine what will happen to us for the next two years. So please get up and get out and vote. Sending Love! ~ Ms. A
