Common Sense of It All!

When I was a kid, I often heard my grandfather give my uncles, my brothers, and male cousins some good advice on a variety of things.  From handy ideals in construction to how to treat your woman right, granddaddy always had advice to give even when you did not want to hear it. My grandfather, Wayne Johnson, thought that he was only guru around or at least of Eggleston Street in Chicago.  Whatever you were doing was wrong according to him and he made appoint to show you the proper way of doing things. Granddaddy usually said that things always had to be right the first time so you would have to redo it again.  And in most cases he was always right. As a kid I often heard my grandfather give advice on women to male family members.  One time he said to men of the family, "I wouldn't want you guys to grow up stupid!" And they still did.  Accordingly to grandfather depending on what news that you tell her will determine what action she might take against you.  For exam

It is going to come off as being sarcastic or sadistic however just let me tell you the truth.  I really do love Haters!  Their negative energy gives me the best energy to keep moving forward in accomplishing my goals. I am not going to argue with as why they hate because I am being me.  Think about it!  Do you even know why your Haters hate you? What did you do for them to hate you?  I bet you don't even know why, do you?  I thought of some reasons why Haters hate. Your accomplishments stands greater than they actual do, even with heels on!  The fact that you are willing and able to go out there and get that education to empower yourself is a threat to them.  Other than finishing high school, what else did you with your education?  Since 2008, I have obtain an A.S. in English, a Master Certificate in Telecommunication Technology, an Executive Certificate in the Cloud and in IT Security, a B.A. in Computer Network Management and I am currently working on my Master in Informati

I was sitting on the bus on my way to work when I over heard a young man speaking on his cell phone.  I do not know the nature of his call however the words that he said to his friend I am still lost. We gon hit the joint on Thirday, bounce around and flow! I got the first part of this sentence but second part absolute not! I am not going to give myself a headache over it. 

When Hell Freezes Over is a term that is very often said throughout the day somewhere in regards to something.  This term means for something that is not to happen in this lifetime or in the unforeseeable future, or simply not a chance.  More or less we say it in regards to personally matters like getting marry.  I know my family said it when I got married in 2000.  Hell even I said, "Hell has frozen over, look at what I done did!"  Mothers and fathers have and continue to say it when they don't want their precious son or daughter to marry a certain individual that they simple don't like.  We use it when it comes to working out matters with a distance family members or friends.  You know how tempers can flare in certain ways! How about when something that has happen that you really thought would NEVER happen at all! Our immediately response is first shock followed by either "All Hell!" or "Hell naw! Hell just frozen over!"  This disbelief part is

Before I mention in my introduction that I sometimes have to say to certain family members on whether or not they were speaking English.  I am going to have a segment called "Is that English?"  because I often do wonder how some people passed English.  I know sometimes that my own English can be confusing and crazy, and I do have a habit of thinking faster than I can type (I am sure that some of you have notice that already!), however I do go back a re-read what I have written before and make those corrections and\or often I do change some things to have a better meaning.  However as we get more and more tech savvy with things, especially with texting, it also bring about how we are writing to each other.  I have a few texts that I would like to share with you.  You are going to shake your head and laugh. This one I received today. I see. If don't talk you don't me that's interesting .  Ladies and gentlemen, I was in the ladies' room and upon reading th

Since 2013 I have been seeing this guy, "J", off and on, and often I had to keep him in the dog's house for one reason or another.  Usually I place him in the dog's house because of some of things that come out of his mouth or his actions in which he believes is either something that a real man is not supposed to do or it is in my safety for him to do what he did.  Sidebar: I have lived in Turkey, like I need shelter. Right!  But let me tell you why he now has to find a new owner. The second of March my grandmother passed away and a few days later my second father, Leroy, went into the hospital.  Needless to say both Pat, my second mother, and I were beside ourselves.  I, at that time, did not have the opportunity to grieve over my grandmother when we learned that Leroy had pneumonia while he was already suffering from a pancreatic disease, which was why he was there in the first place.  Not knowing what is going to happen next, Pat prepared the family members.  So

Hello there, For years we the people have come to love our coffee first thing in the morning.  Why is that?  One number reason. . . to wake up!  Unless you are one of those people who do not need coffee to wake at all.  I would be one of those people and depending on what is going on that day, I will be running around with energy to burn without even touching, let alone taken a sip of a cup of coffee.  Sorry Joe!  My heart goes out to you because I know that you are friends with every one around the world. Regardless of what time it is during the day you are always there to greet and warm people's heart with that one cup. Especially during the winter!  I know for sure that you love when girls are holding you so preciously and better than their own boyfriends.  You probably get a kick out of how they hold you next to their heart and\or while us ladies are driving and we put you in between our legs.  (that is as far as I am going on that matter!) I am just saying the warmness fee

Hello there, For a while I am been wanting to do some writing especially about my life in Istanbul, Turkey. Writing stories here and there, and including some stories from my BBF Glenna.  However I notice that more and more people are writing blogs.  First let me say that I am no expert in writing blogs, so going forward in whatever you may read hear, do understand that (1) we are all entitle to freedom of speech.  I am going to speak my mind about the common sense in our everyday life, because that is the purpose of me building this blog.  And (2) we are always entitled to our own opinion and I am not the not the one to tell no one that they should not believe in what they believe.  Keep in mind that my blog is all about the Common Sense of It All in any topic. However I find myself analyzing common sense in certain areas like dating, our government and who don't have an opinion about our government, things that are happening in our city and neighborhood, things that I trying
