The days have been flying by lately. Maybe it's because I haven't really been letting myself get down about stuff. Even when I have a minor irritation, I allow myself that first moment of irritation then I let it go. I realize that no matter what there will always be people who are incredibly stupid, try too hard or just don't have a clue. That's going to happen all the time and we have to just let them do their thing. If you don't pay them any attention, eventually they will go away and leave you alone. This system has been working for me lately and has led to my stress level lowering.
Don't sweat the small stuff. I have been working really hard at this. I used to drive with my knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel, cussing people out left and right if they cut me off, or wouldn't let me in on my lane change or did anything I consider to be stupid in traffic. Lately, I hang back, leave early enough to get there on time and let the idiots have the road during the morning commute.
At work, I shrug my shoulders at stupidity and ignore those that would try to ruin my day with pettiness. It's not going to work anymore on me. I can no longer be a slave to my emotions.
And you know what? My attitude adjustment has led to all kinds of changes in my life lately. Good changes that I am happy about.
I was disappointed with the election results. I think I want to demand a recount because I just cannot believe that people in Nevada voted the way they say we did. But whatever, I'm not going to argue about it.
The weekend is coming and I am ready for it. I think I might do a little shopping and get myself something cute to wear because I've been so good about it lately. We have to reward ourselves for our hard work. It's a good thing.
We finally got the Tom Joyner Morning Show here in Vegas. They took Doug Banks off and replaced him with Tom Joyner and I am so glad. The Tom Joyner Morning Show is just so much funnier. I drive to work in the morning with tears in my eyes from laughing because they really say some lowdown things. It's all in good fun though. The entire three years I've been living here I have been missing them because, frankly, radio in this town SUCKS.
Yvette wants to go clubbing on Saturday night to release some energy. Oh sure, after she hooks my hair up she wants me to go somewhere and sweat it out right away. I'm still going though because I haven't been to a club in a while and I want to get down.
I'm rambling on and on about nothing so I think I will stop here.
Unbelievable! V108 changes to a smoother format and they add Tom Joyner to the mix. Reminds me of the old KACE-FM from back home.
And to top it off, Fry's Electronics is opening a store here in the spring.
This town is starting to become a little more livable.
i feel you on the "don't sweat the small stuff" life goes on. i plan on clubbin myself this weekend or something just to take my mind of the drama that is going on with me (ex boyfriend) men i tell you.
oh well have a great weekend!
Hey Darmon, is that right there where you get on 15 at Las Vegas Blvd between Sunset and Warm Springs? I knew I hadn't seen Fry's on the side of that building before. Rock!
They took Tom Joyner off our KISS FM out here because there's a local radio personality who's really popular, and they got hella requests to bring her back...I don't like her much, and I miss Tom Joyner, especially on old school Fridays.
I need to catch that release of petty things.
Oh Oh Oh...it's the Tom Joyner morning show...thank da lawd.
Here in LA we're forced to listen to Steve Harvey on 100.3 The Beat Or Big Boy over at Power 106 -- But after the Hip Hop and Rap gets old I turn to KJLH 102.3 -- I think I might hit up the club and shake my good foot this weekend it's been ages since I've seen the inside of a club.
Yeah, Monique -- that's the location.
I thought KJLH had the Tom Joyner Morning Show Antonio G? Is that no longer the case? I know my dad listens to him on the radio...I think. Maybe I'm just confused.
You could always listen to Sinbad's whack show on Hot 92.3
Damn. Sinbad's show is whack?
Good going, Monique. You have been making some positive strides these past couple of months. I'm proud of you.
v108 changed their format to something similar to what KJLH has except that it seems like v108 keeps playing the same songs over and over again.
Yes J -- Sinbad's show is hella wack! Seems as if they put washed up DJ's on the air ... and I haven't heard Tom Joyner's show on KJLH 102.3
Monique, You are so true about what you say about stress. I am still trying to learn how to deal with that. I think that I am one of those people that you are referring to when you say try to hard. I really need to stop because when it is all said and done I am the one with the shit on my face. But I am learning, living here in Vegas is really teaching me a lesson that I needed to learn. Keep it coming.
ramble on. give me mo.
and yeah, i know i'm late, but the new design and the hair is dope.
just like your personality.
