Hints...Heed Them

Hints are powerful things. They may be so powerful that we tend to ignore their awesome presence. How many times have we missed a hint and days layer reconstructed the situation and said “huh…so that’s what she meant.” It is always humorous to be watching or listening to a situation and witness the hints being thrown right and left and the people involved missing every one.

If you call someone twice and they don’t call you back, they probably don’t want to talk to you. And in this day of missed calls on cell phones and caller ID on landlines, it’s unlikely the phrase, “I didn’t know you called,” is reasonable.

If for example you have a friend that works at an electronics store and you mention that you need the hook-up on say an mp3 player and they don’t offer to help, no need to ask them directly because they can’t help you or don’t really want to help you.

How many times have you been in a conversation and mentioned something and the other person kept talking like they didn’t hear what you just said. They heard and chose to ignore your comment and you should accept that for what it is…they don’t want to talk about it.

How many times has a mutual friend revealed something that another friend told them and you want to question the other friend why you were not told. It’s probably because you talk too much or you would only make the situation worse than it already was.

How many have experienced this scenario? It’s 3 good friends. The other 2 go out somewhere and the third is not invited. No this was not a mistake, they didn’t call you when your phone was off, and they didn’t happen to forget to call you. They did not want you around.

If your friend, male or female, won’t leave you alone with their girlfriend/boyfriend in a room for more than 5 minutes, it is not because they don’t trust them, they don’t trust you, their friend. Because they know how trifling you are, they are still learning about their mate.

If you meet someone and while “spitting game” they tell you their current relationship is “on the rocks” if you hook up with this person they are going to do the same thing to you.

If you call someone and they put you on hold numerous times and hit you with the “I’ll call you right back” you are really not an important person. If you were the important one they would call the other person back.

Fellas, this one always has me rolling uncontrollably in the club. If you are talking to a female and she is constantly taking her eyes off you and looking off, she is not interested. I’m serious, she is either looking for help to get you away or she is trying not to smell your breath.

One word answers during a phone conversation = someone is sitting in front of my face and I cannot speak on what the hell you are asking me about.

If someone says your hair is cute, but don’t comment on how you look or your outfit, then you are probably jacked up & they had to find something nice to say.

If someone wants you to meet his or her smart successful friend, from a looks stand point that is not going to be what you want.

If a man has a wad of money in his pocket, then he doesn’t have any in a bank or he wouldn’t walk around with $1200 in his pocket.

Guys, if she really appreciated that drink you bought her, she would either sit down and have a conversation with eye contact or she would accept your offers to dance.

If someone’s sees you walking and they don’t offer to pick you up, instead they just honk and wave…I’d take them off your friend list.

If someone’s owes you money, and when they see you they don’t give it to you or bring up when they are going to get it back to you, they don’t intend to give you anything. No it didn’t slip their mind because if you owed them they would be looking for their money.

If every time you talk to someone they ask you about another person…they are really concerned about the other person and simply use you for information.

If people stop talking when you walk up, and kind of just stand there while you are speaking, they were talking about something that doesn’t concern you and wish you would leave so they can finish talking.

Hints are powerful and are all around us...take heed.

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...

Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part She will walk beside me and cherish my heart. As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with ...
