Things I Suck At

I mean that in a clean and fun sorta way.

Every now and then I sit down and realize that I suck. I don’t mean that in the depressing “I’ll never be anything!” type of way. I just realized there are some things I’m not good at and will never be good at or I’m already too good at.  SBM wrote a post a while ago about something similar, but I don’t think I had much to say at the time because I was too busy feeling and being great. But since I transitioned to NYC and I’m still sorting through my apartment (Yep. Still.) and my new life in general, I’ve had a good amount of time to reflect on some of the things I need to get better at. Actually, some of these things I’ll never get better at. Nonetheless, I have a list:

I Have a Terrible Sense of Direction

If my GPS isn’t cooperating and I’m in a new area, I can quickly go from 0 to 100 if someone asks me “Don’t you know where you’re going?” or tries to give me alternate directions at the last second. I can count the number of times I was trying to maneuver my way to a jump’s crib and she gave me awful directions which led me to get lost. Most of the time I’d just turn around and go home…soft and defeated. However, if I did get there and she gave me directions, there was a pretty good chance at least one glass would shatter.

I Am Silly

I don’t mean silly like with a flimsy wrist and a lisp. I mean silly like real playful and foolish. I have a perpetual smirk that gets me in trouble even when I’m trying to be serious sometimes. I also have a habit of joking my way out of awkward silence or shouting random things when it’s too quiet in a room full of people. I thought I would grow out of it, but I still got a few more years to go. Please note, I don’t do this with new people or if I’m meeting a boobookins family for the first time. I make a really good first impression.

I Don’t Like Arguing

I think a certain amount of beef and disagreement in a relationship is healthy. You learn the most about people when you get them riled up or you find out what it is that they get “passionate” about. However, I’m probably more on the lax side of things. This doesn’t mean I tiptoe into the room whispering honey or that I only communicate through text. It just means I’m cautious in showing how much I care sometimes. Besides, when I get really angry I tend to have a potty mouth. It usually takes me 24 hours from the action that pissed me off to cool down enough to have an articulate conversation. Those who have nagged me with “Let’s talk about the issue right this minute” have learned the hard way.

I Am Selfish

I’m technically an only child. What do you expect? You don’t see me reaching for your food or drinking up all your juice. F*ck off.

I Am Stubborn

But I am rational. Ying and yang.

I Don’t Like Handy Work. Pause.

Moving, fixing cars, etc. I don’t like any of it. I’m the person who’ll always pay for something if I can afford it rather than save a few bucks by doing it myself and ending up OD frustrated in the process.

I’m Psychological. Not Pyschotic.

This is a gift and a curse. I watch people and learn how they tick. It’s a very dangerous skill. I can be around someone for an hour and figure out how to make them get some type of emotional. I rarely use it, but when I do it’s definitely not for the greater good. Women tend to be better at this overall. Sorry. You know it’s true.

I Have Trust Issues

It takes time to gain and it’s easy to lose. Another Black male with trust issues. What else is new?

That’s enough about me. What about you? Are there things you know you suck at nowadays? Pause. But yeah, it’s all about sharing!

Knowing is Power,

    I tend to not say whats on my mind all the time for the sake of hearing something I don't want to hear. Not that I'm scared of getting hurt I just irratated if they say the wrong thing. lol Either way I wish I could be more open about my feelings to those who need to be aware of them. That is all for now! :-)

  2. sanen85 says:

    I can be insensitive. My old boss (fired last Friday) text to ask me if I missed him. Answer: no, not really. Coworker: do u want to see a picture of my baby. Answer: does your baby look different than the millions of other white babies on the planet? Then, no. Ex-husband: do you ever think about what we could have been if I had never started drugs? Me: what the f*ck for? I'm not always that way, I can be more compassionate and empathetic than I should be, but some people inspire this in me.

    • Please Excuse Your S says:

      #noshots. That's not insensitive. That's just mean

      • SaneN85 says:

        It sure felt like a flesh wound :( .

        Which part was mean? For the record, I'm never so insensitive to people that matter or just random folks. These three specifically had no reason expecting any love from me.

  3. N Aimee says:

    Dre?? Is this you??

    I don't think you suck at all, Slim. I'm drawn to your kind everytime. LOL!

    iSuck at letting go and that really sux for me :(

    iSuck at finishing some chores. Mostly when it comes to unloading like, the clean dishes in the dishwasher from Saturday night or my clothes I put in the dryer early Monday morn. *sigh*

  4. shubby doo says:

    the silly thing – i dig

    the stubborn thing – i can elate

    handwork thing – i actually do

    but i think i'm forever your fan Slim for admitting to the lack of GPS thing…most guys have me thinking it's a woman thing. On foot i'm fine and I clock things very easily… but if i'm in the car, trying to figure out the way to get to a place i dont know…i suddenly start to exhibit signs of brain freeze and then i turn totally blonde #clueless

    thank goodness for Sat Navs :)

    p.s

    i'm the opposite on the trust thing…everybody starts off with me with a clean slate… if you sully (i.e defile) it and you're a goner…aint no comeback for you in my books if i've ever lost faith in you or your word.

  5. BSQUARED86 says:

    LMAO @ boobookins

    What do I suck at? hmm . ..

    I suck at being reckless b/c I'm an overthinker and my conscience is super loud. Like, if you lean in close you'll hear my conscience giving you a "tsk, tsk" lol. When I do happen to throw caution to the wind, I spend way too much time worrying about the consequences after the fact. So, to save myself the trouble, I just try to do things in an orderly fashion. I've accepted that it's just my nature to be cautious.

  6. This post was HILARIOUS!! and i thank you for that!! I needed it..

    Things I suck at: (in no particular order)

    – Censoring myself.. for those that follow me on twitter, i usually say some weird, inappropriate things.. sometimes for shock value, other times "just because" and other times, it's really what is on my mind.. I like to put it all out there upfront, so people can't ever say "I didn't know.."

    – Being approachable- whenever i'm out, at least one person will ask me why i look so mean. I'm a tomboy (reason1) and EXTREMELY observant (reason2) and everything that i'm thinking registers on my face.. so trust me, if i look mean, it usually has something to do with the amount of skank in the room.. or i'm scanning and takin in my closest exits..

    – Narrowing it down- i like options.. in everything except men.. i usually overpack because i like options. i carry around a Huge Puma bag because i need to carry a book for every contingency to fit every possible mood i might be in. Notebook, reading book, planner, and magazine etc..

    – Being ladylike- I'm a tomboy, nuffsaid.. i don't always know how to balance it out with being a woman.. or don't always know how to turn it off. my prayer is ACTUALLY "i want to be a calmer, softer version of myself.."

    – I have food issues.. this comes from a deeply rooted place of growing up experiences.. food has always been an issue in my house.. don't touch my drink without asking.. DO NOT eat my food. cuz invariably, i'm comin home and lookin for it, and i'm gonna throw something if it ain't in the fridge.. no, i don't want you to buy it back, i want it to eat.. NOW! you KNOW i love you if i give you some of my food.. heck, i'll give you money to get your own..

    that's just the way it goes..

    i don't have trust issues.. i start everyone out with an "A".. then they work their way to an "F".. and i love handywork.. but that's my strong point..

    D*mn that was long.. "TWSS"

    • Reecie says:

      I got in a shouting match with my stepdad once about eating my leftovers from lone star. I mean, I'm like 25 arguing over food. thats how I knew it was time for me to move out. LMAO

  7. Keimei24 says:

    I like this post.

    I like handy work cuz I'm cheap and I like doing things myself. I wish I knew how to work on my car cuz I would never take it to the shop.

    I have trust issues too. Everyone starts off with a F and works their way to an A. When someone new approaches me the first thought is what do they want/ what what are they trying get out of me. I know that's really bad but hell that's me.

    I agree with Nick L Odeon don't touch my food. Lol you will lose a finger before u know it.

    I also suck at being open with my emotions. I think that goes back to trust issues.

    • CHeeKZ Money says:

      the worst is when you feel like your SO is making decisions on what they order based off what you order.

      "O you are getting the Lobster.. well I can just have some of yours"

      No u whore! I am getting the lobster so I can eat the whole lobster!

  8. QueenT says:

    I am a procrastinator – It takes me a long time to start something..but, when I do I am completely committed.

    I say exactly what is on my mind…very blunt.

    I am not the tidiest person in the world..but, I am clean..meaning you may come in my room and see some things scattered about but the bathroom is pristine. You could eat off the toilet.

    I suck at driving..meaning, I just don't have the eye of the tiger reflexes..that are needed. I am a bit submissive on the road. I will let everyone in and over much to the chagrin of everyone behind me.

    I cry too much sometimes — At movies, at weddings, funerals, proms, graduations, family reunions, watchin 48 hrs, the news….ugh. my tear ducts get a major workout.

    that is all.

    • Sue says:

      "I am a procrastinator – It takes me a long time to start something..but, when I do I am completely committed."

      Ditto!!

    • SaneN85 says:

      "I am a procrastinator"

      Nick_L_Odeon, you should have been done already cosigned this! I guess you were procrastinating on it.

      • I'm SAYING doh!! WOW!! i gotta get called out on these here 'nets!?

        i don't procrastinate so much as i'm a "mood" person.. if i need to write *cough* and the mood isn't right, i'm not gonna do it..

        this includes the light off, the vibe right, the music right, no one can be awake to wreck my flow.. all dat!!

        #ihatechuSane

        #iLoveyou

        #noreallyiHatechu

        and i posted last night so "There!"

        *sticks out tongue and walks away..*

        • SaneN85 says:

          I see that you posted. I am retracting the above statement. I'm sorry, don't hate me!

          *can we change the order of Ihatechu's and ilovechu's now?

    • Eddie Brock says:

      Add me to the growing list of procastinators. I had crown molding installed last year and just now started painting it. Still got one more room to go.

      I also hate handy work, but being a homeowner forces you to learn how to do stuff on your own.

      Case in point, I needed to upgrade my old thermostat so I asked an HVAC guy at Home Depot how much it would cost. $500 just for a visit????!!!!!!!! New thermostat cost $80 bucks and 30 minutes of swearing and frustration.But it works. :0)

      Oh and I also hate the fact that sometimes i go off tangent and talk too much.

  9. Sue says:

    Hehe. @Nick_ is that your Twitter name? I like shock value. :)

    Things Suki (was pronounced Sucky) sucks at.. No pun of course:

    - letting go of the aggressive side. I'd definitely hurt a fly but I'm also one of the sweetest people alive.. but sometimes a little rough housing on someone is all I need to get by.

    - going to sleep when I'm supposed to. Following me on Twitter proves it.. I'm one of those friends where you can wake up @ 3am, call & I'll pick up cuz I just happened to be up. Sleep is the cousin of death & y'all got on pajamas.

    - stopping my brain from going into overdrive. I think too damn much… Well at least, that's what I think (see?!). And I've heard that too. Is it bad to blog, tweet, fb AND have a journal? Cuz I do… And I love my journal…

    - picking sides. If A & B don't agree & want me in on the festivities, I'm making up a character C if both their views suck.

    - accepting compliments. Them: "Sue, you look amazing in that picture." Me: "Ehh. You really think so? I think I look iight…" Them: "Well I said it right?" Me: "Well… Yeah but ehh I guess? Thanks?" Usually how it goes.. I suck.

    - keeping my hands off him. Please excuse my hands.. They just wanna touch. They just wanna feel. They don't mean no harm… At all. 0;-)

    - commenting here on a regular basis. Whenever I see near 100 or more comments I shy away and get overwhelmed, determined to make it early the next day before everyone else lmao.

    SBM fam rocks

    • So FLYY says:

      "stopping my brain from going into overdrive"

      I'm such an introspective person sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off. I think about a million things/minute. It can be empowering, sobering, frustrating, irritating… overwhelming all at once.

  10. Little Miss Sunshine says:

    Yessss for the GPS. I always grab a map and my car key when I get to a new city- get lost a couple of time and navigate my way home. You'll learn quick.

    I suck at some crucial things:

    * boiling. Be it rice or eggs I don't have the patience. I can cook other things but not boil.

    *man ADD. My longest relationship was three years and even that required breaks. Mulllltiple breaks.

    * I'm too forgiving. There are some people in my life who bring me more strife than peace and yet still I let them into my space.

    * Certain I'm never wrong. <— aww who am I kidding that's just me being awesome :)

  11. Please Excuse Your S says:

    I suck at:

    Calming down – I anger slowly but once I get there, it will take forever for me to calm down. I literally have to sleep it off.

    Being sensitive – When things are funny I laugh. I can take the joke so why cant you?

    I'm an a$$hole – I know you're angry but I'll still talk sh*t b/c you used the wrong word lol

    Not being solution oriented – What the hell we talking about problems for instead of fixing them

    • i've VERY solution oriented.. people call me and i immediately go into the "how are you gonna fix that?" they know that you better have SOME idea of fixing the problem, don't call me just to discuss it..

      "let's be solution oriented..!" (Gangstalicious!)

      • shubby doo says:

        I co-sign Nick…i'm all about workable solutions in the here and now…I’m tend to approach things calmly and i'm quite pragmatic so i don’t really see much in this world as a barrier to progress that people cant generally get through or get around…but if you're around me when i'm in this mode and you're not helping please all i ask is just step to one side and keep silent…or you will feel the full brunt of my anger…

  12. Every man I know has a terrible sense of direction. It's funny. I can tell him exactly how to get there in the shortest amount of time, and he swears he knows a better way… he doesn't. lol. Sometimes its cute, other times its infuriating.

    Things I suck at…

    Showing emotion.

    I keep everything bottled in. And by everything, I mean everything. If I'm mad at the world, I'll probably tell you I'm just a little upset, but its cool. I never cry in front of people unless I'm crying about something silly like a sad scene in a movie(The Secret Life of Bees had me in tears!!). Basically, I don't like for people to see me weak or vulnerable, which has caused a few issues in past relationships. I'm better, but not 100%.

  13. Reecie says:

    my list:

    I have horrible sense of direction too.

    I'm also selfish (only child)

    I overthink/analyze people

    I have control issues

    I curse too much.

    but I mean…thats all okay. lol

    • For some reason I didn't expect you to have a potty mouth.lol.

      • Reecie says:

        have you seen my tweets?!

        most people dont when they meet me either. and my mom is always like "that cursing is so unladylike" *hangs head* I blame gangsta rap. lol

    • cosign your list..

      I curse, too. Not nearly as much as I used to curse, but some words are just a part of my everyday lexicon.

      And I have a dirty mind. I can turn almost every statement into something sexual and #pause worthy. It's a gift, really. lol.

      • except, I have a great sense of direction. lol.

      • "And I have a dirty mind. I can turn almost every statement into something sexual and #pause worthy. It’s a gift, really. lol."

        **gets down on 1 knee**

        You know the rest girl. We were destined to be.

        • When I first read your title, my mind went somewhere completely different. I had to resist the urge to list things I suck at… lol

        • Miss Martinique says:

          @slim**gets down on 1 knee** 2 knees for me and my mouth is watering… See I am guilty as charged. I can't help it.

          - selfish not with my things, but with my family. She is MY mother, not yours get out !

          - think too much

          -procrastinator and lazy.

          -read too much, always a book or 2 in my purse, car etc…

          - temper (blame the only kid syndrome)

          -extra sensitivity BUT not weak

          - i don't forget but i can forgive if it makes you feel better *cynical laugh*

          - tactile (i am working on it)

          That list is already too long. Before I hurt my ego, I will stop.

          I tried the cursing (in English only), not natural at all coming from me, people laughed at my attempts.

      • Reecie says:

        yes, ditto. my mind is absolute filth. lol

    • L.Dejean says:

      I'm trying to curb my cursing…we have a baby in the house (NOT MINE, everyone jumps to conclusions) so i try to watch my mouth…

  14. Cosign this post!

    Trust issues / Spite – you break it in any way, its curtains. Ive been known to shade for 365 days straight before I reevaluate your position in my life. Whats even worse is I waste no additional energy by shading you. Its easy!

    Not trusting my first instinct in every situation – When Im right, Im right

    Sensitivity – I can take 85% of jokes, but that 15% boy… i have to remind myself to take the jokes same way I dish em out.

    Forgetfulness – I stay forgetting peoples names… but I always remember faces. My short term memory is horrid but long term is excellent. I guess with my brain you have to do something significant bad or good or I need to talk to you frequently to remember. Hate that!!

    Directions – yeah not a strong suit either

    • I'm also awful with names. I also have to grit my teeth when people go in with the jokes. That's actually another post in itself.lol.

    • Lola says:

      You? sensitive? about jokes? You don't say? Lol

      • I have a post coming about people getting too comfortable and thinking they know me and can joke a certain way, but when I respond they don't get it and they can't understand why their feelings got hurt.

        • i've been having this problem recently.. even wrote a post about it.. people think because i'm always smiling or laughing (and i look young) that i'm a child and they can just talk to me any kind of way…

          "i'm here to remind you, you're crossin into bad territory"

          people do mistake that comfort and wanna push envelopes.. UGH!

        • shubby doo says:

          whoa….really about the jokes?…*takes note for twitter*

        • @ Shubby Im not super sensitive. I can control it.. I was worse as a kid though feel me?

        • shubby doo says:

          noted…it's cool…besides i'm wasnt quite ready to give up on our world cup banter…and u know imma continue with those jokes :P

      • LMAO no me molesta chicana!!!

        I wasn't bein sensitive. Miss Joella had 50-11 jokes and I had to go in… so for the sake of comments please stop it 5, lol

        • Lola says:

          LMAO!!! At 5? Softy! Take it as a man! (pause) Lol.. I know you can hang (pause again!) Ah hahahaha!!!!

        • LOL i wasnt mad tho…

          U know what? Let me call my friend John McCain.. I'm sure your tio Pedro don't got his "necessary papers"

    • Lola says:

      Lol… go 'head call him! Been waiting on them to pull me over so that I can own the PD over here!

      And its not my Tio Pedro, its my Tio Julio, get it right!

      Isn't your Visa about to expire? Lol

    • L.Dejean says:

      I'm proud that i know you & at least 5 times out of 10, you call me by my name…i'm horrible with names too!

      If you see me around someone & i'm quiet (which you know i'm not), that how you know i don't like them…don't tell my secret though! lol

  15. Addendum: I procrastinate, but I hate being late to events I deem important. It confuses people to no end.

    • L.Dejean says:

      Same here! I save most work till the very end but i want to be on time for things that are super importance like class (yea, i don't like being late to school related things) and family/friends stuff!

      I'm not good at being patient…i want what i want when i want it…take that as you will! lol! Sometimes, like now, i'm forced to wait & be patient.

      I'm stubborn when it comes to certain things…at times, you can't tell me anything but it all depends on the delivery. I'm also selfish but i will give what i can if i have extra to give…but it depends on what it is i'm sharing, lol. (i started off as an only child but that didn't last too long though i still have tendencies).

      I like arguing as long as the end result is making up (this is in a relationship sense) but if it's my sister arguing with me, i know its on some "start drama, impress/show out for my girlfriend" (yea, i said girlfriend) type stuff and then i don't wanna hear it anymore.

      I like being silly but i know there is a time & place for it…like not at my family's gatherings cause they can be really dry & take things out of context.

      Hopstop is my very best friend being in NY cause most days, i don't know where i'm going…i'm always shocked when i make it on time to things cause i often get my directions confused…don't laugh at or judge me but sometimes, i confuse my left & my right.

      I have trust issues too and i also find myself easily getting disappointed by people because i had some sort of expectation of them though it wasn't anything big. Because i have trust issues, i'm slow to warm up to people so i have up walls that are hard to penetrate #pause and i make it very difficult to get to know me/get through to me.

      I'm horrible with math too…please don't ask me to add if i don't have some sort of calculator around…please and thank you!

      I can be lazy, if i don't feel like getting out of bed, it takes Jesus & four more white people to get me out of bed.

  16. Lola says:

    This post was too funny!!! You silly!? Extra brownie points for you!!! Boobookins?! Hilare! LOL

    I'm a serious procrastinator – Lord knows, if He was to appoint me to do something I'd probably wait till its 30 secs before the world ends to do it lol – this is an extra bad look specially since I'm studying to be a nurse… you might be in the brink of death with me… gotta fix this asap lol

    I'm bad with names – That's why I give appropriate nick names to every one. Example: Meet Zack (Zack has horrid teeth) next day: you member Zack? who? Zack, introduced you to him yesterday? oh you mean Mr. Invisalign? Lol yeah that's me

    I'm always right…. always. period.

    Don't. Eat. My. Food. #yourlastsupper

    And I'm sorta spoiled.

  17. good list bruh.

    like you i also hate arguing. i think it's the libra in me. i'm the type of arguer that thinks logically about every word that i say. so while she may be flying off the handle saying 1,000 words per minute i'm thinking about the best way to approach the argument. every thing i say is calculated. if i say something that hurts your feelings trust that was probably my intention. that's why i go by the mantra "say what you mean and mean what you say."

    the rest of my list:

    -it's easy to get under my skin. especially if you're close to me.

    -i procrastinate. often. i should be making up my lesson plan for today's class at 1. instead i'm reading blogs. ehh

    -i'm sensitive. sue me.

    -making decisions. once again the libra in me.

    -i like gucci mane.

  18. Hugh Jazz says:

    I'm a chronic procrastinator. Right now, I have a design to finish up and I've been spending too much time at work on the internet.

    I'm generally a nice guy, but when I go into a$$hole mode, I'm terrible. I didn't pick the screen name Hugh Jazz for nothing.

    I'll say anything. A female friend of mine said I need a filter on my mouth or a PR person to do my speaking for me.

    I have a bad habit when I'm not busy at work and it's a topic of interest, I'll make an entire new post in the comments on this blog. I also have a bad habit of going over ten posts a day on this blog. I really need to try to curtail that. Maybe I need to start my own blog, but I'd just p!ss off more people.

    Per the above comment, I have a bad habit of rambling and going on tangents.

    I'm pretty sure other people who know me could create quick an extensive list of my other failings.

    • new2nataural says:

      "I have a bad habit of rambling and going on tangents."

      Forgot about that one, me too…I have 15 sidebars to a story because something I said made me think of something else….

  19. The Don says:

    The direction things sucks as a dude becuase everyone expects you to know how to get where you going

  20. oh yeah to add to my list. i have a problem with judging people.

  21. Cheekie says:

    "I Am Silly"

    If there were already enough reasons to adore you Slim, homie, the above it one. I like a silly guy because I'm silly myself. He can appreciate it. I'm way past knowing for sure when I'll "grow" out of it. lol

    Things I Suck At:

    - Though I'm an approachable person (I smile and sh*t), it takes me a while to warm up to folks. I'm a guarded chick and while I'm emotional, (Carl Thomas), I only show that to folks who truly know me.

    - On that note: I'm an emo. I'm a crybaby. Even when upset (angry), I cry. Always been that way since I was a kid. Chalk it up to me being a dramatic Leo. lol

    - I'm a people-pleaser. More than making sure I'm happy, I try to appease others. The one thing I give credit to myself for is that I'm self-aware enough to know this. I'm working on it, but it's easier said than done.

    - I'm a control-freak. It maybe has to do with being a "technical only child" (word to Slimmie) since my sister is 14 years older than I am. But, I'm definitely possesive over my things…very cautious about them…I knnow how to take care of my ish, though. :)

  22. You forgot to put down hopping. You suck at hopping.

    Well I suck at a few things:

    -Add me to the list of procrastinators….really bad. I literally wait the LAST possible moment to do something…hey, what can I say? I work better under pressure…

    -Over-analyzing– I will break something down to the lowest common denominator and then break that down…it's a habit that I probably won't ever get rid of, but I have enablers in my life…so kinda hard to reform

    -Sense of direction -my cousin jokes that if she asks me which way to go, then she'll go the opposite…um, it has actually worked a few times, LOL…but I can read a map like a pro…one would think I'm a cartographer

    That's it for now…

  24. –Being serious: Don't get me wrong, I can be serious when necessary. I just don't usually feel like it's necessary. Sarcasm is my language of choice. I actually often get in trouble because I have this perpetual "sarcastic tone" that I speak with and my friends will sometimes think I'm joking when I'm being dead serious (it usually takes me a couple "no, seriously, I'm not kidding" to reassure them I'm serious). In general, I just don't like to take life too seriously.

    –Cooking: It's probably not so much that I suck at it, but more that I've just been too lazy to devote time to learning.

    –Getting angry: You have to kill my first born before I even scowl at you. I get disappointed, annoyed, and even irked. Angry? Nah, you're usually not worth it for me to be angry with. That's control over me that I don't allow you to have. But if you somehow succeed in making me angry, may God help you.

    I have very little faith in the power of "us".

    "Me! That's who I trust!" – B*tch I Think I'm Scarface!

    Simply put, I trust myself to get everything that ever needs to get done, done. "Don't worry about it, i'll take care of it." Is usually used by me 100 times a day.

    • i'm good for this too… i don't trust anyone to get anything done correctly.. or the way it needs to be done.. so don't worry about it, "i got it.."

      if i'm gonna have to go back and correct it, then might as well do it the first time.. and know it's done right..

    Long time lurker but first time commenting (be gentle). But I just HAD to say SOMETHIN' after reading Slim Jackson's statement.

    "…I just turn around and go home..soft and defeated."

    **dead**

    Yes I find odd things funny and amusing…that is all.

    I don't want to hear anybody talk about procastinating. You are all rookies. I procastinated myself right out of my scholarship, several chances at a better job, and so many pieces of @$$. I make myself sick sometimes.

    The only thing I suck at is respecting other people. For the most part, I think everyone is an idiot.

    I also suck at eating out..small tongue. Don't hate, just spit on your fingers, same effect.

    • predestined010 says:

      WOW LOL… Small tounge huh at least your keeping it 100.

      CHeeKZ: "The only thing I suck at is respecting other people. For the most part, I think everyone is an idiot."

      Good one, I forgot that on my list. That is probably why I care less about what most people think, especially what they think about me. This mindset is quite liberating emotionally. Anytime someone does or says something stupid, I stop and reflect that the average IQ is 100, realize the poor dear doesn't know any better, and go about living life.

        " i stop and reflect that the average IQ is 100, realize the poor dear doesn’t know any better, and go about living life."

        AMEN AMEN

        i also suffer with finishing what I start. Diets. Blogs. Workouts.

        But that all goes back to procastinating.

    Hellllo, y'all. I am a vigilant lurker, coming out to speak finally.

    Things I suck at (but not sure if I want to work on:

    -Being less of a Scorpio… I hold grudges for wrongdoers. I love revenge, or at least karma. I can love someone completely or hate them completely. An all or nothing person. Don't let too many people close to me, but people will tell me all their bidness.

    -When I get angry from building up, it usually comes as a surprise to others. It's best to walk away if I get that way.

    -I'm too nice, but I want to be mean again like I used to be. I am working on that.

    -Someone else mentioned this, but I cannot keep my hands off my current boo! We're still pretty new, but he really is that fine. On cuteness alone, he beats Trey Songz. Being a sweet, educated brotha, I dunno how he wasnt snagged already.

    • SaneN85 says:

      Welcome! Also, I'm not sure how that last one is a problem.

    • shubby doo says:

      i'm a scorpio 2…that revenge/grudge thing is so me…i fought it for a while but then i learnt it was a necessary evil i needed in my arsenal…now it's an asset i embrace

      • I notice that a LOT of Scorpios and Libras are involved with this Blog…

        #TeamScorpio

        My sisters are #TeamLibra.. i fux with yall, sparingly. lol

        • ladygoo105 says:

          Sane, the thing with the boo is that I'm trying to pace how close we get to each other. It's hard when you can't keep your hands off! #pleaseexcusemyhands

          Scorpios are definitely the truth. However, I cannot date a Scorpio again… it's like the Cold War when you're both mad!

        • Yea 2 scorpios dating could be war of the roses

  30. predestined010 says:

    Libras in the house… Why sparingly streetz? We good peoplez

    • Reecie says:

      holla to my sister scales! :-)

      • predestined010 says:

        HOLLLAAA@Reecie…. Streetz you right we can be sometimes.. but I appreciate the love anyway…

    • I lvoe mys sisters, so I love yall. Yall can be so effin indecisive though!!

      and let me add that the fact that I can figure sh*t out quickly can be bad… because sometimes its better to be in the dark about stuff, but Im always glad I can reveal all #swindles
