My Thoughts

Boy I tell you these Astros are going to be the death of me if they don’t stop choking in big games. I stayed up until the we hours of morning watching that 14 inning game only to go to sleep with a heavy heart. Earlier that day I had on my commemorative World Series T-shirt that I bought the night before. The northern had finally reach Htown so I couldn’t wear my T-shirt by its lonesome but I managed to wear it with a long sleeve shirt over it. I came into work yesterday with my We Bee-lieve sign that I got on Saturday from Academy sports. My co-workers and I proudly wore our Astros gear be it the Orange, yellow stripped Throw back Jersey or the New Red Star on a Black or Gray background we were in full force. A couple of my co-workers were even going to game that day. Only to have our hopes dashed in one the longest World Series games to be played. (more…)

To some folks this situation is something to be sad about, something to pity, but for me it is what it is. Most of the time I am cool with being single, but there are times when I wonder what it would be like to be married, then I think about those that I know who are married. Most of them are unhappy or cheating or separated wondering if the marriage was a huge mistake and I think to myself do I want that kind of misery? Society trains us to get married early on(in your 20s) and have 2 + kids and live in the nice 3 bedroom with a dog or cat. Then there are the family pressures, there is mom and dad pressing you for grandkids the minute you turn 30 or there is your aunts and uncles at the family reunion asking you why didn’t you bring “Yo man” to meet the family. God don’t let you be the oldest kid and all the younger siblings have married and procreated the heat is on then!! The more I live the more I am finding that 30+ single and never been married is ok. I am cool with my situation but don’t get me wrong yes I would love to be in a relationship but I am cool that I am not at this time. If I where to have been married to a guy who was a total loser or cheated on me it would be ok because at least I would have been married and I would get that “Check Mark” in their books that hey she is ok she just chose the wrong dude.
