Had the ill convos in my head lately. Just been thinking about the pace at which the world moves and where I envision myself best positioned to make moves they way I want to make them.
Wearing sneakers til our soles/soul is gone
MissThang hit me off with a horoscope a while back that all of a sudden became very literal this week. It was quite surreal how the topic came full circle and related to the current job situation. I like being a consultant, contractor, or whatever you want to call it. I thrive on being able to call my own shots (for the most part) and the flexible schedule truly is a blessing. I've always been fond of doing things for dolo (ahem...independently) so a new leaf may turn where I become an actual employee again. But I'm not going to stress it much. Whatever happens will happen.
These are my days of reality
However, I am rethinking my health plans. I play ball a lot (not as much as a few years ago), but still I get a good 5-7 hours in of pick-up games per week - which is a good thing in my book. But I still suck at doing push-ups. So I need to map out a new plan to hit the weights a little more consistently. Sigh. The gut has got to get better. But I do like how a few folks have noticed the gradual changes, so I'm not hating on the handles that much. Trust me, wearing jeans as a kid with a size 'husky' tag on your butt is no very becoming. As a matter of fact, I'm becoming nauseous reminiscing about it. Back burner...

I have found myself involved in some very engaging discussion the past month about youth, struggle, crime, hip-hop, gangs, beef, arts, activism, love, and technology. Seemingly disparate, but all conected in some way, shape, or form. Life is like a puzzle of interchangeable pieces that come and go and fit into their own spaces with a uniqueness meant for exploring the game at a distance and up-close. It's how we play our position that determines how and when the puzzle gets completed.

Hey PopS! Good to be back on here and thanks for the great reads. I missed observing the inner workings of a beautiful mind.
*huggs*
you'll do fine as an employee. you might be an even better employee since you know what it is to work to make sure that your business thrives.
it could be possible that life's puzzle is always complete, whether together or apart...you think?
Im a "consultant" now AND Im working for family at a non-profit, so my life and my schedule is really easy. But I am the opposite, I crave structure. Beside, "independence" usually also means "no health coverage" LOL
...and stop being so hard on yourself. Unless you gained fifty pounds since the last time I saw you (and believe me when I tell you, some people have), you look just fine. Keep playing ball and chasing Lil Man and that's all the fitness training you'll need. If someone thinks otherwise, tell em come see me. Ill straighten them out, LOL
Peace
I'm w/ Chez - POPS is SEXY!!!! And don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It's good to be healthy, but don't stress the appearance of it for anyone else but you.
hmm. the puzzle is done. living is the rearrangement? y'al are mad funny, but thanks. but nah, i been wantingto get some abs for a long time. can't keep waiting forever though.
Wow...you're making me miss the Marino Center. I spent 55 percent of my time at Northeastern balling in Marino.
