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.

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 years later

I love Haters!

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

Being that Empty-Nester

Okay to all parents who are sitting around wondering what do I do now that the kids are gone? Surely most parents have thought about this question. “ What do we do once the kids have moved on with their lives?”  I did not have to ask that question because I could not wait for Nick to get his ass out the house and stay out!! I was feeling a new sense of freedom dancing around around the house and emptying a bottle of wine in my own celebration.  However that was me and you may have your own ideal as to what you want to do. It is just where to start, right? I think I tired several times before I have to force him to not return.  (Well, he had already enrolled in the Army to go full time so I thought it was the perfect opportunity for him to get his shit in order).  And I am so glad that he did. However I was already doing the empty nest thing before Nick even finished high school.  I had joined the Illinois National Guard and I was release with an honourable medical dischar
