Time to take inventory...

After spending a few hours with a dear friend today, I realized that I have been gone too long from doing my blog.  So, as of now, I am back and it is time for me to take inventory of everything in life.  I would say "Spring Cleaning" but Spring has come and gone and it is already getting hot outside.

First item on the list, Friends (and those that think I can them a friend)!  Let me put this blunt as can be, if you have ever heard me say "I love you like a brother" then you are in the friend zone.  If you have never heard those words and have only talked to me a few times...you are in the "acquaintance" category.  That category is HUGE, because you are just not around me enough to consider you a friend.

Now there are some people that are in the friend zone that I have not spoken to in years, hell in decades, but you get to stay in that zone because you do mean something to me.  Even though you were only around when we were younger, I still see you as a friend and will always come to your aid when called.

Next item on the list, Drama-magnets (and you know who you are out there)!  Let me just say this, "Save the Drama for your Mama, because I ain't got time for no mess"!  Now the only people that can still be part of my life and cause drama is my flesh and blood.  But the rest of you, "get-ta-stepin".  Matter of fact, you can do the "Pat and Turner"..."Pat them feet, and turn them corners" right on away from me.  Do it double-time to make it faster.

Next item on the list, personal happiness.  Some of you might see me in the coming days, weeks, months and wonder why I just "don't give a damn" anymore.  Well the reason why I don't is because my "piggy bank" with all of the "damns" is empty.  Too many people approached me during my previous 44 years and asked me to give a "damn" but did not return that "give-a-damn" when I tried to collect it back.  There is interest on those "damns" because the longer it takes to pay that "damn" back, it removes 15 other "damns" at the same time.  So those few that took those last few "damns", you messed it up for the rest of the people for the next 5 years.  In that time, I might get one back and then only give "a half damn" about something, but a full "give a damn" might be ready for use in about 10-20 years.  So in the meantime, I can send you 50 cents, so that you can call someone who is willing to "give a damn".

So you have been warned officially, don't let this be a shock to you.  Those that know me and have known me the longest, you know you have nothing to worry about because I will be the same with you as always.  But if you are one of those on a short list and find problems with the things said above...I have the perfect solution for you..."Pat and Turner"!!!
