I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way, then again I really don’t care. Ummerra… Last time I checked my name was Sincere and these were MY thoughts. What I write today may differ from what was written yesterday or will be written tomorrow. I write what I feel, how and when I feel it. This is simply a peek into my daily life and thoughts as I navigate through life. Sometimes I contemplate more than other times but again these are my thoughts.
That is all

Here’s a little advice for all you future business men and women out there. ALWAYS BE ON TIME!!! Better yet always be early!
There’s nothing worse than having a client waiting on you. You should be there awaiting their arrival. This is especially true if this is your first time working with or meeting them.
Being late is a major pet peeve of mine. I always make sure and pride myself on being on time. I’m usually at least 10 to 15 minutes early for any appointment or meeting.
My dad always taught me that “If you’re on time you late”. I’m not trying to waste your time or mine. I’m trying to give YOU my money so why am I waiting on you? You should be awaiting my arrival.
And another thing, always double check your appointments. Make sure the time you tell the client is the time you have listed on your calendar. That just shows poor organization and planning on your part.
That’s 2 strikes already. This company has only one left and I haven’t even met them yet.
That.is.all.

Quick question. Why is it that some people feel like they have to please everyone, no matter how it affects them? I’ll admit, I am like this to an extent. I do like to make others around me and that I care about happy but not if it will cost me my own happiness. I’m not willing to trade emotions like that. Your sadness for my happiness is not a fair or equal trade, that’s like trading Lebron for a kid you just picked up from the developmental league on a 2 day contract.
I don’t like people to be upset with me but I can deal with it. Now if someone feels like I somehow disappointed them I can’t just brush that off. I feel like disappointment is worse than upset. being upset about a situation can go away but disappointment seems to last forever. I still remember my dad saying how he was disappointed in me when I was 8. It stung then and it still stings now. I never wanted to feel that again and from then on I strived to never disappoint him again. Now anger (like love, shouts to Ike and Tina Turner) is a simple secondary emotion so sometimes that anger may not be from me but only directed towards me so that’s not an issue for me. Get mad, I could care less!
I have been mad or disappointed in people and I’m sure I will again but I never let that change how I truly feel about them. At least I try not to. I realize that most of the time I’m upset with something the they did or did not do and not with them overall. Now of course, you only get so many chances with me before I write you off. Around 2. I can’t be around foolishness for too long. “A smart man surrounds himself and associates with smarter people” – Will Smith. “Only fools talk to fools because they speak the same language” – Grandma Sincere.
Think on it

So this is my first post of the new year. Here goes!!
Stop saying “this year is going to be my year” or things like that. You should make every year your year. Everyday should be better than the one before. Don’t let a date on the calendar determine when you decide to change your life.

30 Something – Jay Z
Today is my 30th birthday and I’m super excited right now!!! I’ve been waiting on this day for a while. I can finally say that I’m officially a ‘grown ass man’!!! You see in my family you’re not really grown until you reach 30. Yeah you can vote and buy a pack of cigarettes aka cancer sticks at 18 and drink at 21 but that still doesn’t make you grown.
I really don’t feel any different than I felt last year. Still not big on celebrating the day, just glad I made it to another one. This birthday reflection is no different. This year has been an eventful one. I was laid off because of the company’s mismanagement of funds *Ahem Coughs AIG Bastids Cough*. Now I’m working for a new company and still on the hunt for something else. It’s all about progression, loiterers should be arrested. © Jay Z. I’m in school looking to finish up in Nov 2010. Oh and I found out that I have Type I Diabetes aka Juvenile Diabetes. In other words, my body doesn’t produce enough insulin to help break down the sugar and carbohydrates that I take in therefore I have to use insulin to regulate it. that’s about it.
Hey! I just noticed that if you add up the year 2010 that it equals 30!! Maybe that’s a sign that this will be my year. If you add up next year 2011 it’ll equal 31 so maybe it’s not so much of a sign… Ah well. As tradition, lift your glasses *Lifting glass of Ciroc and Simply Lemonade AKA that Ciroc Obama* and toast to seeing another birthday and end of year as well as a prosperous new year!! *Blows out candles*

So last night I was having a bit of insomnia so I decided to watch some movies. It was a toss up between The Invention of Lying and Hurricane Season. I decided on Hurricane Season.
Sorry about the pic but I couldn’t find the actual movie poster.
This is a heartfelt movie based on a true story. The movie takes place in New Orleans around Hurricane Katrina’s time. the plot revolves around Coach Al Collins, played by Forest Whitaker, from John Ehret High school and his quest to not only bring his basketball team back together to somehow salvage the season but to give hope back to a city. This is a definite must see and shows that you can succeed no matter what the conditions if you have the will to win and courage not to give up.
There is a great cast of characters from Forest Whitaker as Coach Collins, Taraji P Henson as his wife, Isaiah Washington as Coach Simmons, Bonnie Hunt as the principal, Jackie Long, Bow Wow as ball players and even Lil Wayne appears. While I’m not a fan of Forest Whitaker, I like some of his movies but not the roles he played. I’m not sure if it’s that eye that throws me off or that he tries too hard or what but he just doesn’t convince me when he transforms into a character. You know?
I’m not sure if this was in theaters or not but I somehow missed it. I suggest everyone go see this now that it is on DVD. the acting overall isn’t the greatest performance, nothing Oscar worthy, but it’s a great heartfelt story of perseverance against all outs. Check it out.
Peace

Do you know any ‘big word bastids’ (I know how to correctly spell bastard, I spelled it incorrectly on purpose)? That’s what I call those folks that insist on using the biggest word in their vocabulary when a simple one would do. Now don’t get me wrong, if you’re a follower of mine here or on twitter then you know how I feel about people expanding their vocabulary but you should use the correct verbiage (e.g. wording, or language. See.. sometimes I can be a big word bastid too!) for the correct situation.
That is all.

How was everyone’s Christmas holiday? Did you go see family or did they come see you? Got any good gifts? What did you get your other half or that special someone? My Christmas was pretty much the same as it always is. for some reason, and I noticed a few of my blogger friends felt the same, I wasn’t really in the Christmas mood. I don’t know if it’s because it came up faster than I anticipated or what but I definitely felt like a Scrooge.
My birthday is 5 days away and I still don’t know what I’m going to do to celebrate turning the big 3-0. I really don’t want to do anything, like I do every year, but since this is one of those milestone birthdays (e.g. 12th, 16th, 18th, 21st) for some reason I feel inclined to do something. I was told that 30 means that I am now an official ‘Grown ass man’ so I gotta do it ‘Grown ass man’ style! Once I figure out my plans I’ll start on my annual birthday reflections post and my year in review post. So much happened this year that I should have started a while ago. Procrastination got me again.
Anyway, That’s about it for me. Nothing for Christmas but I have some great birthday presents coming in 5 days. what’s happening on your end?
Sincere
