What gives you the right?

What gives you the right to put yourself so much higher than someone else?

Do you think you're that much better than any and everyone around you?

Just because you have more money, or better clothes, or a nicer car doesn't mean that you can be an arrogant douche bag. 

You may feel good about yourself, wake up every morning happy, go to school where you get good grades, and have lots of friends and go home to a happy family where you know without a shadow of a doubt that you are loved, but that's not the case for everyone.

Not everyone knows they have worth, or know they're important, or they might have lost their parents or siblings or someone close to them and might be completely lost in their life and have no clue where they're going or what's going to happen to them the next day.

Take some time to pay attention to those around you. Pay attention to the normally perky girl, the usually excited about life young man. Take time to ask them how they're doing, maybe sit with them at lunch, or hang out with them outside of school. 

Make every single person feel important, and feel like they have at least one person that they can turn to and that they can trust.

What will that hurt?

So,

I have just a lot of gratitude in my heart, for everyone in my life that is ACTUALLY IN my life.

All of you that are there, when I don't think I don't think I deserve it. Bless you. You all know who you are, and I'm not going to go through the process of trying to name all of you, because I will forget someone and people's feelings will get hurt, and that wouldn't be my intention, like at all! 

Whether you have had a small impact on my life, or one that is so monumental. Bless you. I don't know what I've done to deserve so many great people in my life. But know that not one of you have gone unnoticed. I hope that karma will come 'round and treat you right, like you've done for me. (:

I know that I am not the easiest person to deal with some times. I have my moments when I am even not on my own team, and I feel like there's no use for me here. I know that I am wrong in that, not to sound too cocky, but I know that I have a divine purpose in this life, and I have yet to figure that out. 

I really am blessed, and I need to stop taking all of you gems for granted. It's a problem of mine, and I really am working on it.

Really, the whole point of this rambling blog post was for me to get out that even if I have never said thank you, or anything, know that you are important. Not just to me, but to several people. You are a beautiful human being, and you have so much. Every single person reading this. I will always be there for you, and try to help all that I can. You are worth it. Keep your head up. Stay strong, sunshine!!

The Storm Is Almost Over!

I don't know if It's just how I was raised or the positive examples that I have had in my life, but I just don't get what is happening with this new generations, and them being so ignorant.

I've noticed several occasions of this, in my close surroundings lately, and I've had enough of it.

If you are asked to take a step out of your way, and throw something in the garbage, and chose to just throw it on the ground instead, and have someone else clean it up for you, you need to re-evaluate your life. Learn some manners, have some respect for mankind, do a good turn.

IF you think that it is acceptable to walk up to someone that is just doing the job that they are getting paid to do, and degrade them and insult them to the point that they are ready to have a mental breakdown, and then just walk away, and not even give it a second thought? You better not have the nerve to ever come to this place again, because I won't be so nice if I ever see you. You are an ignorant individual, and there is a special place in hell for you. My best friend is the one that you chose to insult, and I don't take lightly to that behavior. She is one of the strongest, most beautiful, caring, attentive, funniest, sweetest, generous people that I have ever met, and you don't know anything about her, so go somewhere and take your negativity with you. Thank you.

If you think that making someone feel like they are worthless, almost to the point where they want to kill themselves, just to make yourself feel better. I feel bad for you. I want to help you, in any way that I can. It's not them that needs the help, well they definitely probably need help, but you need help on a deeper level! Because you aren't right in your brain, and that can be fixed.

I know this is going to sound super cliche, but why can't we all just get along? We're all here, going through the same stuff, trying to get by till we leave this place, why can't we help one another, and make this experience a lot better for everyone! Ya feel me?

Well this post is done, and I hope you all have a great day, you're all beautiful in your own way! Don't let the darkness, dampen your light! Keep your head up chanp!

Sincerely,
Tyler

With all of the trials that I have been put through lately, and all of this crap that has given me every reason to give up, and to just not anymore.

I decided that I should just write this. Not hoping for replies. Or sympathy, or anything of that sort. Just need to get this off my chest.

With my boss telling me that I am not good enough, and that there is certain, cowardly, co-workers of mine that have gone to her, and not just told me, that they both don't want to work with me, for whatever reasons, and that they don't think that my work is good enough. Screw you. I don't even care what you have to say. If you don't have the balls to come to me and tell me what you have to say, then you are dead to me. That just gives me even more reason to work my butt off, and to prove you wrong, which is what I plan to do.

You are really shady, and I don't appreciate you.

I have plenty of people that are behind me, and that truly care about me, and they believe in me, and know that I am worth it, even if in your twisted sense of reality I am not. You're wrong, and IDGAF.

I honestly don't need you in my life. I have the ones that need me and I need and that's good enough for me.

I have for one my AMAZING aunt Mindy that has literally been to the ends of the earth, and had to deal with some amazing adversities, and had everything thrown her way, and she is still living, breathing, and showing the world who's boss.

I have my MORE THAN AMAZING mother. Who, I don't know how she does it everyday. KUDOS to you mother, you are the one that keeps me going everyday. If you can do it, and still come out ahead and with a smile on your face, than why can't I?

Here's to my Heavenly Father, who I can't even begin to thank. I can't fathom what he's gone through. I love you so much, and infinitely thank you.

Here's to my best friends. The REAL ones. That really are there for me whenever I need them. That drop what they are doing, and what they have going on. Who take my problems on to their own so I don't have to face them alone. I commend you, and are eternally grateful! Bless your souls! You guys are aweomse.

I am just so grateful for life, and those in it. Thank you.

Rant over.

Thank you for reading, and know that if you are reading this you are alive, well, and that in itself is something to be grateful for.

Tell someone thank you, do something kind for someone.

I've been needing to blog in such a long time, but I haven't in 5ever! SO I don't know where this blog post is going to go, so please bare with me. 

First of all I just want to shout out all my peeps, for always being there for me. You know who you are, and know how grateful I am for you, and your existence

I don't really know where I would be without the people that have gotten me through this hard time in my life. 

Farewells? Homecomings? Everyone one is leaving, everyone is coming home. 

I am both happy and sad now a days. 

Happy: that those that I said good bye to a while ago, are returning home, and getting back into the normal swing of things. 

Sad: several of my best and closest friends will be leaving me soon, and I'm not equipped to handle that situation, but I will be able to cope hopefully...

Through this whole time tho, the one thing I am happiest about is the fact that even this economy is going in a downward spiral, and I blame that souly on Obama, with some other contributing factors, is the fact that I have always and consistently had a job. 

They might not have always  been the best places, and I only have one place that I wold NEVER go back to and that's Opinionology. They are awful, their management team SUCKS!!! The way they go about things and they way they treat their employees is no acceptable on any level, even for a call center. The saying that "it's a job,  and it's money" only goes so far. That's why I had to get out of there while I could, and that I am done there forever! HOLLER!

That's why I am SO uber grateful that ShopKo came along when they did. I was telling myself that I was going to last until Lagoon opened up again, and that I needed this job, but I physically couldn't handle it. They nothing but bullied me from the day I started there, and I was done being their floor mat. I had had enough, and that's why I was so urgent to leave and start back at ShopKo. 

I am totally and completely content with my life as it currently is, my place of employment(s), my family, friends, and those that show me what I deserve and what to not put up with. You are all a blessing in my life, and I would never be able to thank you, or repay you for any of that. Know that even if I don't seem like I care, I really do, and I don't know what I would do without you.

God Bless you! You know who you are. 

Peace Out

I'm sorry, but this is something that I have needed to get off my chest for a while now.

WORK!

So bugged.

As you all know, my job history has been pretty scattered in the past little while, and that may or may not be a problem. But that's not the point of this post. I started recently back at my current job, and I go in on a Saturday, everything is fine.(In a relative term) and shift goes along swimmingly, and everything was good. I did my time, and got to go home to something clearly better.

Again, that's not the point, and I'm getting sidetracked. Now on to the real problem. I go to work on Monday. We get off the bust stop, go get our lunch, head to work, where we are walking the back way to work, which is a short cut, and also has a pathway to the building that no one walks in, also covered in snow, which consequently makes my shoes SOAKING WET!!! Keep in mind that I am wearing my TOMS, which I rarely wear socks with, so my feet are FREEZING! So I trudge through the snow and all the other ridiculousness. Through the smokers that stand right by the door. LITERALLY! I get into the building. Go to my rounder, set down my stuff, clean off my desk, get ready. Take off my shoes so they can dry off and give my feet a chance to warm up. Not even. Within what must have been a half hour, Rachel comes to talk to me, and insinuates that I am some gross person, and tells me that I need to put my shoes back on. and that it is unacceptable to walk around without shoes on. WTF?? So being the people pleaser that I am walk back over to my desk and slip my shoes on. No problem. Wrong! I sit down to start my shift at my desk to complete the mundane task they ask me to complete, without any complaining. Take off my shoes again, while I'm sitting there, thinking to myself that I am not harming anyone, apparently I am wrong. within the span of an hour someone else came and yelled at me and told me that they didn't appreciate me putting my feet on the chair that someone else was going to sit in. Like please. That's the least of your problems.Let's discuss the law breaking citizens that are smoking less than 25 feet away from the door, or the people that are smoking their e-cigarettes right at their desk. Or those girls that come to work with barely any clothes on, or the ones that while they are supposed to be working just up and walk around the call center, or are on their phones more than they are on a call. Let's discuss the issues that really matter. I get there, on time, most of the time way before. I sit down and do my job, yeah I stand up sometimes but that's because my feet/legs whatever falls asleep. Sometimes I take "too many" unscheduled breaks. I am a diabetic. Sue me? I'll come at your harder bro. I'm a hardworking employee and all I ask is if you are going to yell at me, and tell me I'm doing something wrong. Have it be for something legitimate. Capishe?

Okay. I'm done. rant over. Read this, don't read this. Comment. whaterr! My feelings. Peace.

This one's for you...

You know who you are!

          The one that used to call me a best friend that faded into the background of my life. The one that always said that you would be there for me, and that I always thought that you were telling me the truth, and I believed you for THE LONGEST TIME. Till it came "crunch time" and I really needed someone to be there for me, when I was there for everyone else. But I was wrong, trusting you, believing that you were any different than my other frineds, that were so busy living their lives, and doing what they wanted, to remember me. The lowly boy, stuck in his hometown for the time being.

       I have found, however small it may be, my group of friends, that unlike you, are always there for me, always asking how I am, and wondering about my well being. Weather It be my best friend Nicole Diane Hawkes, whom texts me and replies to me everyday, because we're the real kind of best friends, and not just the faux ones that you pretend to be to my face, and then I'm sure talk about me behind my back. 

      i SURE hope you the best, and hope that you can someday remove your "second face" and be real and true with yourself, and realize that you aren't going to be able to pull the wool over the worlds eyes forever, and that someday you are going to have to face up to what you're trying to do. I was always there for you, and would have done just about anything for you, and all you ever did was walk all over me, because you knew that i'd always be there for you. WELL, not anymore! I've deleted you from every possible aspect from my life. Peace out. You're loss! CYA!
