“That’s when you ask yourself how bad do you want
When the man in the mirror is your only opponent”
– Jon Connor on “Lose Yourself“
It seems like negativity is something that nobody can escape. You will have haters, doubters, nay-sayers, trash talkers, and the like come around at some point. You’ll meet dishonest, disloyal people that have ulterior motives and you’ll have all sorts of krazy experiences. It’s not that you go searching for it or that you put yourself in that position…it’s life. Despite all that life throws at you though, you have to surround yourself with a positive vibe and positive attitude. Is it hard? Absolutely? Have I got it down? LoL You can say I’m still working on it. All I do know is, in this krazy world that we call life, it’s either change your outlook or let your outlook change you.
What’s upppppppppp people? Welcome on and all to the Ajaxxx.com October 2013 Opinions Column. This is the sole spot on the whole planet where you can learn more about yours truly on a deeper, more personal NSA-style level. For that that’re new to the site, WELCOME! Glad to have you join me. And for those that’re returning, much thanks and welcome back! So with that, let’s talk about the month that was September.
I can’t believe that it’s been ten years since you’ve been gone. Has it really been that long? I can still recall when Tim broke the news to me. I remember driving down to the funeral, seeing your family, and reconnecting with your friends. And of course, I remember being in a daze for that whole week. It was surreal then and it’s surreal now. I mean, I even had a dream about you last night (and it’s not the first time). It’s kraziness for real.
Whatup everyone? I wanted to take a second out to remember someone that was very close to me. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll do another one of these posts again. It’s been ten years and it always messes with my head to do these. Who knows though? All I know is, I still miss you and I’m glad that we got to share our time together. You changed my life in ways you probably don’t even know. You moved me, challenged me, and inspired me. You taught me a lot about life and I’m forever grateful to you about it. It’s hard to find the right words cuz there’s so much but at the end of the day, I’m thankful that it happened.
I still miss you…son.
