REFLECTION:NIOTCELFER

"If I knew we were coming to mi cocina, I would have just worn jeans. What are we doing here? This place is depressing!" No, trick! Your ass is depressing!! The raggedy complaints you just read came from the most whiniest aint talking about shit persons I know!! I spent a good 7 hours with this girl and the first 3 and half hours were horrendous. But that is not what this blog is about. It is about awareness. Now, ever so often we all reflect on how good we have it, but still we tend to complain about the bad 75 percent of the time. Now, I'm not dare judging because just a week ago I was 10 miles past irate when something as immature as my favorite show sucked! So I too am no stranger to complaining. So, I've been reflecting. Not too long ago I talked to one of my oldest friends who is in the Navy. I don't talk to him a lot due to the fact that A. He's married and two, he's usually at sea. And just about every time I talk to him, I always ask, " How long are you going to be on land?" I always ask that because I probably take my life for granted more than I do his. He's again in the Navy so he's hasn't been in combat (knock on wood) so far and every time I talk to him, I thank God he's alive. We complain about so much but people like him are away from their families for months at a time and when they do see their fams its for 12days out of the year!! And sometimes they can't even email or call. I complain about not getting 7-10 hours of sleep, these people sometimes go days without sleep. I complain because I don't want to eat salad, but pasta for lunch and these people are eating dry canned crap out in the field while avoiding bombs and gun shots. I'm not saying you're life and petty problems are petty ( I kinda am though) but just think about what some people are going through as we fuss about issues that other people WISH they could complain about!! I don't know what you're going through in your life, but please note that someone's life is WAY worst than yours!!! The video below is not easy to watch and please don't if you have a weak stomach. But listen to the lyrics as you watch. I think it was brilliantly done! This is NOT the official video from NERD, but a great interpretation. You may not agree with my POV ( point of view) but don't you dare judge it!
