Yes, here I go with my music again. No secret to anyone that has come into any type of contact (even briefly) with me that I love Prince and anything/one he has anything to do with. LBS
One of the BEST times in my life that I can remember was when I went to see Prince's Musicology Concert Tour. We were all on the shuttle bus headed from parking to the Allstate Arena and all of the sudden someone on the bus got notified on their cell phone that the opening act had started. When he announced it, everyone on the bus was like, "Yea, ok. So we'll miss some of the opening act." Then he yelled out, "IT'S THE TIME!!!!" The bus was stuck in traffic and we weren't far from the entrance so everyone started rushing to the bus exits. ME TOO!! It was BRUTAL waiting for the driver to open the doors so we could get out and rush into the arena. LOL
This song by The Time, while it's not one of my favorites by them (their slow jam Girl is my fav)....I think this song serves as an anthem for me. No arrogance intended. #okmaybealittle :)
As an only child, I had to get used to people challenging me because they "thought" I would have no back up since I had no siblings. I had to learn how to fight QUICK. Mostly by trial and error (read: getting my ass kicked until I got it right, lol). The first thing I learned (which I think I acquired in Judo lessons), was to stay calm. Your opponent is more thrown off when you seem cool and collected. As I got older, I did forget these teachings and would scream/holler/curse......all to no avail. Then as I got WISER, I went back to my initial method of just being "cool" *Morris Day voice*.
I really couldn't hang with the hollering anyway. When I yell either I get a headache or cry or both. So it really wasn't productive. So, instead of yelling in an argument I speak softly and DIRECTLY making sure that I use words you can understand WITHOUT using profanity. Weird ain't it? I have a FULL swear jar but when I'm arguing with someone I won't swear. LOL Also, depending on how much you've pissed me off. I'll just keep saying I'm cool, because I really am. If I am pissed off to "the highest point of pisstivity" I won't say ONE WORD. #thenlookout
I can't say that I'm "slow to anger"....I still get FIRED up (especially about my babies). But, I can say I speak slower and try to avoid the BLAZE! Cuz, I'm so...COOL :)
I like. :)
