The Because Factor . . .

Have you ever notice that when you ask a question or you are listening to someone else asking a question, we get the because factor for an answer.  Because of this and because of that . . . . it is always the same as how the because factor is said.  Everybody uses the because factor including the weather man.  And it occurred to me as to just how often we use the because factor.  the because factor comes in many different form and what do I mean by the because factor coming in different forms. let me help to understand this:

Of course we are all familiar with "Well, because of this or that. . . "  It comes with a short and long explanation.  And more often, depending on our mood, we don't want to hear it.  But the fact of the reality is that you\we need an explanation for the thing in which we do not understand. Right?

Because I said so!  This is the cause that many of us have to ask Jesus for help so that we don't slap the bejesus out of that person.  Note: only your mother, father, and wife can get away with it.  Parents use this because factor a lot and it comes in handy in so many situations.  However it also comes with our child(ren) not wanting to accept our words and that is when you the parent have got to knock the bejesus out of child and put God in their lifestyle! (Sidebar: As a parent myself there are times when my mother would ask me a question regarding my child, and depending on the question I might follow it by "Because I said so!" Then she will question me why I said so, and I would follow that with "Really, mother?" (sounding like a Valley girl from the 80's with mother sounding like MF.))

How about when you are at work and you ask your manager\boss a reason question, he or she starts the explanation like this:  "Well, the company has a policy in place that is protect the company's interest as well as the employees of the company."  If some of you did not know that was a because factor, you now know!

Think about when you were sitting somewhere and the person across from you tells you something that makes you say "Huh?" You got a because factor without asking the question.  How many of you like me hate when that happens?  Let me tell you why, because it leaves no room to give you an explanation.  Think about it! And often you get this cause: "the case being that  . . ." or this one "well it happen to be so that . . . . "  Yeap, you have been BECAUSED!

Wait how about when you ask a reason question to get a because factor and not know that it has been re routed, for example: you are at the auto shop and you ask a reason question to the manager and he gave you an answer like this, " We can give you this part for $10 cheaper."  And because this sound reasonable to you, you accepted the suggestion.  You have been RE ROUTED in a because factor!  This happens a lot through out the day as you are carrying on with life and some of you were none the wiser until not. 

Now my favorite because factor and I am sure it is also some else's favorite because factor especially if you a woman.  It is "Because I don't want to!"  As a woman I am loving this phrase so much that I really do need a cigarette to go along with my Saketini.  To tell my boyfriend that phrase with a combination of facial expressions is wonderful darling! And I dare him to challenge me on it.  I may not have one Ginsu knife however he will still gets slice.

Just about everything we do has a because factor, from your relationships to that job that want really wanted, are all effected by the because factor. We can not escape it, it is like nobody and somebody.  They are always being blame for something.  Come to think it, why nobody and somebody don't have a last name?  Because it is a part of the because factor.

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...

The Istanbul Chronicles: Moving Stuff

Here is another one of Glenna and I adventures. When Glenna and I were getting to know each other, I knew that she lived in an area call Maltepe. To be actual she lived on Methap Sok., Mercan #7  Apt. 4, Adatepe.   It was quite some ways from me being 45 minutes by a mini-bus (I live those things).  I had often visited her at her at her apartment as she had often visited our apartment, especially for coffee. In Glenna's apartment, she had a lot of nice big real wood furniture that I would have loved to own and I am still mad to this day that we were not able to remove majority them away from Edward. While she was there in their apartment, Glenna by herself was trying to move those pieces around because of how big furniture was they were not moving for her. (Glenna is a tiny woman, I tell you.) She said she had been asking Edward to get some help in moving some of the furniture down stair into the storage assigned storage unit.  But talking to Edward was like ta...

A Criticizism Impact

Ladies ad gentleman I got email from some body in Austin, Texas who read my blog. (Excited my fan email!) I wish I could copy and paste his/she email but due to Internet Privacy Act, so I will not.  Therefore I will talk about that person in a different more uplifting way.  Basically this person said I was stupid, don't know what the hell I am talking about and that my man should have a tighter lease on me. Hhhhmmm! (I got a smile face!)  Now I know how many of you would answer this however I took the very high and mighty road on this one.  My Reply was simply this: Thank you for your words and had you word your email differently than I would have taken your words into consideration.  I am not saying you should kiss my butt because I do not think you can do a good of it; it was because it was not objective.  I will still thank you for your positiveness that came from your negative criticism.  And I look forward to hearing from you again. ...
