mare talk", may not always be real talk but it's MY talk...my opinion, my bias. The best writers acknowledge their perspective, the perspective they take for they know there is NO such thing as being neutral on any account. One's perspective is always tainted by prior experiences and knowledge with that in mind enter my world and join my MARE.a.THON...
Conversation regarding beards
Yesterday’s quick phone convo, regarding a very sensitive topic (facial hair). I’m mildly allergic and highly sensitive to facial hair. I call it “The case of the pricklies…” My bf suddenly decides to grow some facial hair, while it looks great-it doesn’t feel so great so I expressed my opinion about it…
Mare: “babe can you please shave – I am getting pimps and rashes cause of it”
Chris “babe that’s not fair, Jay grows his beard -tare is okay with it-”
Mare: “so just cause Jay grows his beard you have to as well?”
Chris: “yesssss, and cause your cousin is okay with her bf having a beard you have to be too;) thanks babe love you…”
HANGS UP…
Gotta love him and his argument!
Although it rained it was an amazing turnout, had a great time running the 10k, thanks again everyone for your support ;)
some emails you keep, this was one of them…
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change.. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you. Consider this: With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. “A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.” The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad. Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes…do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above. “In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our friends.” “Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them.” “If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”… Colin Powell
Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.
Ummmmm so I think this machine needs a refill hahaha and better toys, are you kidding me?!
