Fast Forward

“I got 99 problems but a…”

Although something I’ve long known, a few days ago a conversation reinforced the age old concept of staying true to you and doing what you do, regardless of naysayers.  Why?  You simply can’t please everyone and there will always be someone who has something to say.

Sometimes that someone perhaps is a peer or could potentially be ‘yo partna’; a person you expect to know you better.

Let’s rewind one day, two days to Monday…Inherent or Inevitable?

Please peruse the post, if you have not done so already.

In essence, my hombre decided to say he didn’t understand the way I put my next girl out there as I compared her to the ex. o_O 

I can’t even tell a story without someone’s sensitivities being stirred up?!?  Well ain’t this about a monkey’s mayday! 

I’m not going to waste time defending anything I said or attempting to re-paint the picture in a polite way; I prefer to think the piece was polished enough so the real message portrayed.  But as was obviously not the case for at least one party, I’m seeing more and more the need to tune out critics as critiquing will always be their specialty regardless if there’s anything that warrants commenting.

I went back and forth for a few with the friend until we agreed to disagree and I told him, “Maybe you don’t need to read my blog”…or in the words of Jay, “If you don’t like my lyrics, you can press fast forward”.

“If you’re trying to please everyone, then you’re not going to make anything that is honestly yours, I don’t think, in the long run.” –Viggo Mortensen

Cheers!
