Watch Me Unravel
My childhood was the most stable one I’m aware of. My parents were married for over 30 years. We lived in the same house since I was two. When my Mom passed away in 2006, stability went out the door. We lost my childhood home in 2007 and, since then, I’ve moved around every once in a while. Yesterday, I moved to my sixth address in as many years.
I hate this.
Is it too much to...

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short not to enjoy it. 4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. 5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need. 6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself. 7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone. 8....

Set Your Priorities
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles...

VOTE!
Rather than telling anyone who reads this why you should vote for the person I’m voting for, I will tell you to just get out and VOTE. This election will be a close race so every single vote matters.
My mom always said, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” November 6th is YOUR opportunity to cast your vote and make your voice heard.
If you’re still...

Friend: Hey, Aziz, I got you a panini press off Amazon but I shipped it to my friend Lisa instead of you. Is that a problem?
Aziz: Yeah, it's a problem. That's not my address and I don't have Lisa's contact info and now you mention paninis, I really want one!

Death at a Funeral (2010)
I’m just saying everybody knows that the Colonel stole that recipe for fried chicken from a slave named Jubilai. Now I’ll give him the credit for the coleslaw but that’s it!

Lesson Learned
Do you ever feel like life/the universe/God/or whatever is trying to teach you a very important lesson, simply because you’ve found yourself in the same position more than once? My lesson has been this: True friends stand by your side no matter what; fake friends bail the second things get rough. Guess I didn’t learn that the first time.

Countdown...
I think the words “I need help” are some of the hardest to say and if you have people in your life who try to make you feel bad about yourself for being a little down-on-your-luck or needing any kind of assistance, you should ditch them ASAP and find a new group of people to surround yourself with.
Life is way too short to surround yourself with people who bring you down.

The Rescuers (1977)
Faith is a bluebird you see from afar. It’s for real and as sure as the first evening star. You can’t touch it or buy it or wrap it up tight but it’s there all the same, making things turn out right.
