SO after finding out my blood pressure is 135/94 ....
please pardon any jumping that may occur as I am indluging my adult self in consumption of adult beverages.
Control is an illusion. Those you think have control only have control because you gave them the power to.
those who have power over you only do so because you valued something they convinced you some one else and ultimately they had power over.
So in reality, you have control and power over your entire life if you choose to.
so why are so many of you bitching and moaning over shit you have control over?

Facebook Friends - Rant
So everyone knows you can blame this one getting started on my brother.
How did this get started? Well my brother is suposed to get married this year to a wonderful Lady he has been with for years now. Because there is a wedding, there has to be wedding guests. Here in lies the fun. My brother has only slotted 7 spots for family. He has invited, and I assume received confirmation from some friends. Naturally the number of spots allocated for family has sparked off regular rants I have had to listen to from both of my parents.
In all honesty I don't blame my brother for only allocating a small number to a family that doesn't seem interested in him(I say us).
After all I remember growing up my dad would take his vacation to drive mom, my brother and I up to Texas, so we could visit the family. I do not remember their coming down for either my brother's or my own graduation claiming it was too expensive.
Yet I know certain members were as close as Orlando throughout the years and they couldn't spare the expense of a few hours to come visit then either.
Ok so you have my side of part of the back history.
So after discovering that my brother has only allocated a small number for family, I got to thinking. How many people take for granted I am going to always over look the fact that the only time I hear from them is because they want, need or feel they are entitled to something? How many people do I do that to?
Gandi says be the change you wish to see. Gonna take that to heart on this matter. Gonna check in a few times with those in the family for no other reason than to say hi. Then if I get no response or reciprocity conviently loose their information.
Sounds to me like a reasonable thing. After all I know people get busy I don't expect every day, week or hell even monthly contact, but I would like to know that on occasion I cross their mind more than oh hey she is on Facebook.
