Coolio Blog Props and Tuesday Trivia!!!

Okay i'm starting off this blogg-a-roo post with a great diddy from a friend/blogger of mine....I don't always give out props, only when they are in grandest deserving..so this one is just so inspiring..i'm stating here that if this blogger/friend were to either a) Become a public speaker, b) write a book or c) make a book out of the inspiring words of her blog...not only would it be of great life changing success to many (i'm already an avid "Own-it" ownee) but also bring in lots of cash, dough to her..(so here is my bid to be the designer/developer of said friends/bloggers books, web sites, t-shirts, hats, buttons...hey i'm an entrepaneur as well..so hence...hence...here goes:  This Phrase I AM IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE.  So true.  We really are, as individuals in control of OUR lives..not just the day to day stuff, but also the consistency of how or when or why we do what we do, how we roll how we roll...I have had this one little gem in my head lately...Don't wait until you have motivation to act on something..but rather ACT to MOTIVATE...I'm telling you folks, life is short..make the most grandest thing out of it..if you never ran before, start running (just well don't all of a sudden start running like a mad woman):



okay you can if you choose too..at least you'll be running..but seriously, do something new and adventurous...And sometimes, if you just start doing something you know you are new to and really don't want to do it, but just jump into the process of this, you'll sometimes or most of the time realize that you were lacking motivation and end up being glad you did...Example, back in the days when i used to go to the boxing gym and loved getting my nose or some other useful body part smashed in by a bigger than me heavyweight named Victor "Maliciousness" Maldonado, there were days i just didn't' want to work out, or even be remotely near a gym..but then those were the days i worked out harder, and ended up enjoying my workouts even with more enthusiasm..what i am saying is this...okay nobody in their right minds must like to run..this is a hideous act which was probably thought of by the man..or the man who enjoys running in the dead of "freeze my ass off" winter while wearing little thin Nike shorts...anyhoo, i realize, if we wait all the time to be motivated to do something, well we will end up waiting for a long long time...so next time you have the oh so familiar "I'd rather be watching a friends episode while eating a bowl of cereal" feeling..STOP...and just start running, or do whatever it is you were setting out to do in the first place..

 A few days ago i was out with my sassy sazzafras GF Victoria:



and we stopped by a Ricky's NYC so she can pick up some girly, make up and hair stuffs..As i was there, I decided to make my time useful, other than carrying a bag or two for her (hey i'm the man in this relationship and more so, i'm a gentleman always)...and i purchased a few fridge magnets..i don't know why but i keep glancing at it:



"DO ONE THING EVERY DAY THAT SCARES YOU" - Eleanor Roosevelt....and i am trying to live by this...and also by Own it....The thought of performing on March 19, in front of people, while doing something i am so passionate about like playing guitar..really does scare the latin bedittle out of me...but hey, that is life..doing something which takes you out of your comfort zone, something new, amazing...adventurous or just mentally thrilling...so this blog post is about that...be daring...don't just sit and meditate about it..but really do it...who knows, you may end up liking it..or at the very least, be able to chuckle about it like so: "So there I was afterwards in the same jail cell with..." or "Well after the nurse came by and put in my IV tube...." jk..but seriously...don't let life go by and you end up kicking yourself in the avocados because you pondered too long on that and on the possibilities of world peace and the next Lost Episode.....really BE DARING..on that note, City John Leaves the Office...
