Three Things Thursday
HEY GIRL(s/boy[s]) HEY!!!!!!!!
I know, it’s been a while. Some crazy things going on in the life behind A Joy In Class. Some stuff I am not quite ready to talk about on zee blog. And some of it, I don’t want to talk about on the blog, after reading Lisa’s post. I remember when this happened to her, and I literally felt sick to my stomach. I adore this girl and it was just unimaginable that this could really happen to someone with such a sweet, honest, and genuine heart — which is totally clear even if you just read one post of hers. Everyone and their mother has a blog nowadays, so this was pretty damn scary. I will say, it definitely affected my desire to blog on a regular basis…..which is unfortunate, because I LOVE sharing my thoughts, pictures, struggles, triumphs, and silly anecdotes with yallz. In the new year, I am really going to get back to blogging like I used to. I promise
So JANETHA took a cue from MELISSA and did a “three things thursday” post. Imma keep this post short, and do the same….
Basically, if you are unfamiliar, Melissa says that thursday is a good excuse to rattle of three things that are currently getting under your skin. Here are mine:
1) LAZY people. And I’m not talking about lounging around on the couch watching Teen Mom. I’m talking about people who complain and then do NOTHING. Or talk about doing something (finding a new job, losing weight, etc) and then NEVER do ANYTHING about it! It drives me NUTS! If you have a problem with someone or something….if you want something….if you desire change…DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
2.) People who don’t stand up for themselves and put others before themselves ALL the time no matter what. I am always thinking of others and want to please, but there is a difference between that and not giving yourself worth. How can I expect someone to stand up for me (as a friend, in a romantic relationship, or in a business/group atmosphere) if that person cannot and will not even stand up for himself/herself? I guess this also goes along with the lazy thing. Lots of people think, “it’s easier if I just leave it alone.” Well guess what…easy doesn’t solve anything.
3.) I just realized those two were very general and heavy, even though they’re totally getting under my skin lately. So I’ll keep this one light…er. My shower drain that won’t un-clog. You guys. It’s so gross. I gotta go get the heavy-duty Drano tomorrow. Ick.
I am not a complainer and usually do not make a fuss over the things that get on my nerves. It’s not productive and I don’t need that negative energy coming out of me. BUT….I also believe that if we hold our annoyances in, that negative energy just builds up and proves cancerous. It is perfectly healthy and necessary to let it out. As long as you a.) at least attempt to do something about it, or b.) accept it and move forward
Whew. That felt good.
In other news, the spin mix for my class tonight contained Supertramp, Zeppelin, Stones, T.I, Timbaland, Missy, JT, Slash/Fergie, Jay-Z…and Elton John. I swear it worked.
Now that I’ve aired my peeves…I want to hear yours! I give you full permission to vent, bitch, whatever in my comment section. Or do your own “three things thursday” on your blog and comment here, so i can go check it out
tgiaf…..what a week.
I’m glad you clarified what kind of lazy people you meant. Not that I’m EITHER of those types…nope, not me…(replace Teen Mom with Jersey Shore/Say Yes to the Dress/Keeping Up With the Kardashians and that’s another story).
For me, it’s self-absorbed people. People who, after someone has told them a tidbit about themselves or their life, have to begin their next sentence somewhere along the lines of, “I know what you mean. When Iiiiii [insert drawn out story here]“. Or lazy people in the sense that you mentioned. If you’re not happy with your life, CHOOSE to be happy and change it. Be the person you want to be instead of waiting for that person to come around.
I want to spin to Elton John.
i totally agree with you! especially #1. it reminds me of a quote by ralph marston: http://bflparty.blogspot.com/2009/01/do-something-about-it.html
You should send me and email and let me know what’s going on in your life since I can’t see it here! Every morning I put on my pretty blue headband and think of ya! I really need a trip out to CA or wherever you may be living in 2011! I’ve got a lot of stuff going on that is harder for me to talk about on my blog..like relationship stuff. blech. I’m ready for a change.
Sometimes you gotta get negative stuff out. That way, it’s not bottled up inside anymore.
<3 you and miss you!
Hope you’re doing okay girlie! Seems like you’re keeping super busy in the new year
