Whatttttt upppp (in my best Martin voice)! Greetings from Detroit, Michigan. This is the last stop of my tour before I go back into the office on Tuesday. There's so much wide open space; it's astounding. I'm currently sitting on a deck overlooking a damn golf course. What the heck. It's BEAUTIFUL out here. It might take me a minute to readjust to all the buildings and such once I return home but I do wanna see my peeps.
Since I've been here, my cousin J and I have discussed the topic of dating. I told him in the last two months, I've had to completely wipe out the stable and start anew. The stable, the roster if you will, was just acting up and I can't whine and complain til the cows come home. I gotta recruit a whole other set of players cause ya'lls hitting everything BUT net! Next!!!
J went on to explain the 'cop and blow' theory, which goes a little something like... sometimes you're coppin' folks and ringing 'em in, other times you have to blow them off. If you are willing and able to blow every single person off, you recognize your inability to settle for less than you deserve. That whole 'at least I have one or two holding on' mentality is played out like, what, an A Track! Get rid of 'em!!! Since I've deleted numbers and seriously kept it movin, a few have sensed that the coach has replaced them so they've started chiming through. Thanks for calling but it's not even that you're too late; it's that you really didn't truly care in the first place! And what do you say?!? NNNEEEEXXXXTTTT!!! LOL (But I'm nice about it, really.)
Until now, I've been fairly reluctant to date older. I definitely have a young spirit and there's lot of fun to be had. I'm finding people are settling into their 30s like they are really some old farts. But 30 is the new 20 baby, live it up like John Legend's song says! But I've come to notice there are a few early 30s folks who are mature but can enjoy a laugh...experienced but not so scorned...wanting to live their dreams and not just settle for less...so that's all well and good. At this point, the roster thing is getting old so you know...a great captain will do the trick!
Before I go I just wanted to mention one more thing. I've been speaking a lot about the significance of time and numbers and whatnot. And one thing seems blatantly obvious to me. 2007 was a year of completion and 2008 is a year of new beginnings. Within the last year, almost everyone on the Chronicles has made a big transition, whether it was a job change, moving, getting married, having a baby, going back to school, turning a hobby into a business, mending or starting a new relationship, or simply getting rid of the okie doke, things are moving forward and I am so excited for everyone. I hope we're keeping that forward momentum as the seasons change. Like I've been drilling (lol), there's no time like the present. Or like Common says, 'The present is a gift and I just wanna BE.'
So be happy, great, be love, be life...
