BP Page? Hmmm… I don’t know!

I recently started a Bla.ck Pla.ne.t Page. I used to be a member a long ago, and left because of all the annoying ads. Well nothing's changed in that regard. Also, I don't have time to juggle through all the bull crap notes I'm getting from strangers that just want to hook up and those bogus invites which are irrelevant. I'm trying to network and keep this productive thing in sequence -- ya know? Also, I really haven't made the time to hang out over there.

I haven't finished setting up the page, so I may need to do some tweaking to emphasize that I'm only seeking business connections. I know I can definitely get my workout on with contacts having all those members on board, but those ads and my time may just be the death of my page. Hmmm I'll see…

BS

Do you ever get the feeling things are not quite right? Or to just say, "I KNEW IT?" You know there's nothing to trust about a particular person, place or thing. No matter how somewhere in the back of your mind, you're thinking, "nah, not them?!" Today, I talked with a reliable source, who shared some consistent information which pretty much proved my beliefs and perception of certain people and situations. When a person just down-right flat-out lie so naturally it's frightening, you know this is definitely a serious issue. I've learned this type of behavior has been the norm and covering up any situation to make them the better part is a part of their corporate ritual. People who religiously fake it with you while tearing down your crossways… (or maybe I should say, bridges.) People who want to keep certain people in their place through any means necessary due to intimidation.

I know corporate America as a whole is full of this political bs, but to know it's from people you've actually conversed with. People who make the BIG ole' paychecks and keep the BIG ole' drama saga nestled under their immediate control. Damn, there's so much corruption, and I'm still shaking my head. What is really going on? WHEW! Somewhere down the line – someone fondled with the whole picture and several pieces of the puzzle got lost.

One thing for sure, as with life; one NEVER knows who knows who and how many of whom they know. And karma is a real mother-for-ya! I believe in full-circle and tens fold. One can't just manipulate the talents of others, cause disruption, and still maintain the top spot. Somewhere they are going to trip, slip and fall.

Why does this continue to sadden me?! Why do I care?! I think it's because somewhere down the line, I'm supposed to. It's my intuitional duty. I believe it was a written mission well before I came upon the scene. Maybe my concern will eventually reveal its purpose.

I'm still shaking my head. WHEW!

***I know I took y'all there, but y'all know me, I've got to keep this to a minimal; however, I had to say something.

COMPLAINERS!!!

I know y'all know somebody somewhere who fits this description. You know the kind that always want to be heard but too chicken enough to take it up with the person they are complaining about? You know the kind that always sees the wrong in any situation.

We had a meeting at work just after lunch today and it covered several things including how some management were taking it too far in talking about each other to the point it was causing hostility. Our boss asked for any suggestions on how to remedy this and if there wasn't a resolution -- that all issues/complaints would be handled by upper management. I sat there still, but couldn't resist intervening and voicing my opinion as I said, "Why don't the person having the problem or complaint about another just go that person and tell them about it, instead of going behind their backs and telling it to another co-worker?" My boss agreed.

Personally, I don't have a problem with my co-workers where it would warrant complaining behind their backs. (Plus I'm not so much of a complainer!) I'm consistent at confronting a situation or a person.

There's this one woman (a co-worker) who complains about everything. She seems like she's mad at herself and the world. She's very negative and NEVER smiles. She's definitely the type of person I like to fool with in a sense; because every time she would say something relatively negative, I'd come behind her with something positive. During the meeting, no one else would entertain her, they'd just listen. And the way I handled her was with discussion, not argumentative. So, when she tried to go there… I took her to another place. Y'all feeling me right?

As the meeting concluded while ending on a good note, everyone was cheerful and smiling while she rushed out of the room with a frown on her face. She was ignored, and I think everyone knows she's the problem. Talk about people with issues…

Life is too short…

Lost Comments

After re-designing my blog and reading my older posts, I've realized that I've lost my earlier comments (Nov 2005- Jan 2006) it seems there may be other lost comments throughout the archives. I haven't checked my actual files within Ty.pep.ad to see if they are there, but they are definitely not visible through the blog from this end.

If I didn't get a comment in the first place -- that's cool, but to have and lose them due to a technical glitch while making monthly payments on an account leaves me a bit disturbed. I've gotta get to bed. Been at it a while today.

I'll research it more later.

B.ack th.at th.ang U.p

First of all, IT IS HOT!!!! out here in the southern side of the boot state! WHEW! I swear I can't believe I was born, raised and fed in this humidity and heat index. (Man, I have been away too long! I hardly recognize it being THIS HOT!) Somebody please let some air up in here so I can breathe. These are times which make me REALLY miss the traveling. By now I'd surely be in some Northern-Eastern state enjoying their version of heat, which is the same as our version of cold to them… PERFECT!

Now back to the topic! I highly recommend Acronis True Image for computer backup and recovery based on lots of research and hands-on experience. As I've had my share of computer crashes, and have lost a few files, this is definitely one piece of software you can count on. I bought the additional hard drive mainly for the studio, but it also holds the image content of my computer. If the worst happens, I can chill knowing I can simply revert back to my last backup with no fuss and hassle with lengthy step by step procedures.

In my opinion, Norton Ghost aint got nothing on Acronis True Image.

As for other news on this Friday evening -- I may drive downtown for some night life. I can surely use a well-tailored Dirty Martini with extra Olives. Yum!
