H-Town Rundown

So some random stuff out here in H-Town...I went to this club last night, Bam Bou. It was Latoya Luckett's birthday, and MIMS was in the building pushing his new album, as well as Estelle and Vince Young. Estelle didn't sing though, I was a little dissapointed, I really wanted to hear her rip it. I went with my homegirl Stephanie. It was a cool time, the club was nice but the architech needed to rethink some of his or her designs.This is the 2nd picture we've taken together on the same website, ironically (I remember taking this one Steph!! hahaha!). Cool times.

Went up to the Galleria mall today too, tried to do some shopping. Didn't really succeed, kinda mad about that. I did however see the funniest book I've ever seen in my life. It's called How to Live With a Huge Penis: Advice, Meditations and Wisdom for Men Who Have Too Much. I thought it was hilarious. You be the judge thoug, I suppose.
Quick shoutout to my friend Charlotte...she saw this street sign in DC and sent me the pic. Boricua!!

Live and Let Live

So when I wake up this morning my thoughts gravitate towards the idea of anger and irritation. Not that I am angry or irritated this morning, but I was just thinking about it. I am definitely someone who isn't prone to getting extremely angry - it takes a lot to get me mad. But I do let myself get irritated or bothered by little things quite often. It's actually pretty oppressive, if you think about it. See, if you're anything like I am, when any small thing is wrong with you (i.e. you're sad, angry, frustrated, blah blah), you don't seem to function correctly. That emotion consumes you, to the point where you have to do something about it just so you can get your equilibrium back. that's oppression. The feelings are in control, they are upsetting the natural balance of your life. So my solution? Stop getting so irritated by things that probably don't matter any in the long run! Particularly if it's a small irritation. Unless you are going to (justifiably) get steaming mad about it, just full of rage because the injustice done to you was so magnificent that you simply cannot ignore it....let it go. Brush it off. Laugh. Get over it, or yourself. Or both. But most importantly....let it go. The hardest part (for me) is letting it go, moving beyond the frustration. I tend to hold on to feelings for a long time. I don't want to, I just find it hard to let them go. But I need to work on that, and I suggest you do to. If you can manage it, you can free yourself to enjoy your life. Life is definitely too short to get caught up in ridiculousness. This rings so much truer with people. If you have friends who can sometimes irritate the hell out of you (and I mean small things, not huge, relationship-ender things), just try to remember that you love that person and move past whatever it is. If it helps, think about the fact that you definitely annoy that person too, at some point. That's what friends are for. You thank yourself in the end, when you realize all the lost time you've gained back. So try it. Live...and let live.

Secret Cookie Giver

So someone sent me some cookies yesterday, lol. As in, how you might send someone flowers but cookies instead. I came into my office and there was a box of custom cookies with a bow and everything, note included. It wasn't anything romantic, the note just said "Keep your head up, Jonathan!" The note was not signed. It's a mystery...I've been trying to figure out who it could be. No success thus far. But I'm happy. I was having a bad day, and that definitely made me feel better. Trying to enjoy life as much as possible. This definitely helps. :-)
