haterade

I watched a comedy show up on cinemax..ya know the lil Black doot from the third Friday I think..? the lil lucky charms doot? yea him.

He's pretty funny.

He got me thinking cause some of the things he said were profound. For realz.

He was talking about how Black people want other people to stop hating on them and what they do, but that no matter what happens, there will always be peeps who will hate.

He said, if you have 14 peeps hating on you at the beginning of summer, your goal should be to have 30 peeps hating on you at the end.

I had to laugh at that, because if you think about it, its true.

People only have hate for you because you embody something that they themselves envy and/or desire. Whether it be a relationship, a family, intelligence, physical beauty, freedom, money, etc.

I have always had peeps that have had dislike for me. I remember in High School on the first day of my Senior Year, a girl from the rez that I didn't even know came up to me. She said that I thought I was better than everyone else..I was like," NO, YOU think I'm better than everyone else." I had known of this girl for years from way back, but I had never gotten the vibe like she liked me, so it was kinda no surprise. I met up with this girl years down the road, and she acted like we were best friends back in the day...whatever yo. I was cordial enough, but hey, she was just tryin to ride my coattails to a party to peeps in the know.

I admit, I am a bit cocky. But i call it confidence. lol.

Ok, Im an arrogant little bitch at times..but hey I've mellowed out.

I know now that because I have a big mouth at times, that doesn't mean I won't get my ass kicked.

I know now that the more success I achieve, in whatever it is I do. there will be peeps that share my joy and there will be peeps that hover to see me fail.

Right now, I choose to be happy with who I am and where I am in life. If someone doesn't iike it, then I have nothing but blessings and prayers for you.

Its all relative.
