RANDOM KARMA

I WAS LISTENING TO KISS FM THIS MORNING, ON THE WAY UP TO NORTH SCOTTSDALE TO DO AN ERRAND... AND THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS.....

"RANDOM THOUGHTS. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING RIGHT AT THIS MINUTE?"

THE ANSWER THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION (BECAUSE IT WAS SOOO ME..) WAS A GUY THAT WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION (MOST LIKELY ONE-SIDED) WITH A GUY THAT WOULD NOT SHUT UP. THIS MAN WAS THINKING THE ENTIRE TIME...

"I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I JUST PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE?"

I KNOW, VIOLENT, BUT SERIOUSLY, I THINK EVERYONE HAS FELT THIS AT TIMES WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADMIT IT OR NOT. I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD WHEN THIS GUY WAS EXPLAINING THIS FEELING BECAUSE IT TOOK ME BACK TO A TIME THAT I WAS ON A CALL WITH ONE OF THE GUYS TOMMY WENT TO THE ACADEMY WITH. I WAS LITERALLY GETTING THE RIOT ACT READ TO ME BY SOME LOW LIFE IN SOUTH SCOTTSDALE (I WAS BEING A GOOD LISTENER... NOT INTERRUPTING THIS PSYCHO WHO WAS IRATE FOR NO REAL REASON) WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN HIS SENTENCE AND MIKE SAYS, "WATER IS WET, GRASS IS GREEN, CONCRETE IS HARD." I LOOKED AT HIM IN A STUNNED SILENCE, BACK TO MY PSYCHO FRIEND WHO WAS IN A CONFUSED STATE OF SILENCE NOW, BACK TO MIKE, AND THEN THE FIGHT WAS ON. OUR FRIEND WAS OFFENDED. HE SLEPT IN A CELL THAT DAY. I WANTED TO PUNCH THAT MAN SO HARD, SINCE SHOOTING HIM WAS NOT SOMETHING EVEN I COULD JUSTIFY AT THAT POINT.

BACK TO THE PRESENT.

NOT 45 MINUTES PRIOR TO LISTENING TO THIS RADIO SHOW I HAD THE EXACT SAME FEELING AFTER LISTENING TO A PHONE CALL ON MY WAY TO THE GYM. THE PERSON I WOULD LOVE TO KNOCK THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF WAS NO WHERE CLOSE, AND WAS NOT ON THE PHONE WITH ME... BUT KARMA IS ALWAYS PRESENT AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL SEEP THROUGH THE CRACKS OF THIS SCUMBAG LOW LIFE'S LITTLE WORLD THEY HAVE CREATED AND EVEN THE, "PROVERBIAL," SCORE.

THIS TOTALLY MADE ME THINK BACK TO THE ONE THING MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT HER MOTHER WOULD REPEAT.... OVER AND OVER TO HER, THROUGHOUT MY MOM'S LIFE.......

ONCE YOU LIE, THEN YOU CHEAT, THEN YOU STEAL, THEN YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING.

NOW I KNOW THAT GOES AGAINST WHAT GOD TEACHES US ABOUT ALL HIS CHILDREN BEING OF VALUE, PER SE... BUT SERIOUSLY, IF YOU ARE NOT TRUST-ABLE, YOU ARE NOT HONEST AND CAN'T HOLD TIGHT TO A COMMITMENT YOU MAKE AND THEN YOU TAKE THAT WHICH IS NOT YOURS....ISN'T KARMA GONNA BITE YOU IN THE ASS AND GET EVEN? KINDA LIKE EVENING THE SCORE? MAKING THE OLD SAYING, "YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE, IN THE END," SO MUCH MORE...SAY...WORTHWHILE, TO THOSE OF US THAT HAVE WATCHED CERTAIN BAD PEOPLE SKATE THROUGH LIFE? HMMMM..

I BELIEVE IN KARMA. KARMA IS GOOD. I THINK OF IT AS A CONSCIOUS FOR THOSE WITHOUT THEM. NO MATTER HOW BAD A PERSON IS, I BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE DEEP DARK MINUSCULE CORNERS OF THEIR PEA SIZED BRAIN THE LITTLE VOICE STILL QUESTIONS THEIR INTENTIONS AND PULLS AT THEIR SOUL, EVEN IF JUST A LITTLE BIT. AND IF YOUR CONSCIOUS DOESN'T GET YOU.....

AND IF KARMA DOESN'T GET YOU, IS IT SO BAD IF PEOPLE, LIKE ME, (THE GRUDGE MASTER THAT HAS AN EXTREMELY VINDICTIVE SIDE AND A LOT OF FRIENDS IN PLACES THAT COULD REALLY MAKE SOMEONES EVERY DAY LIFE MISERABLE) MAKES IT HER MISSION TO BE THE, "KARMA," THAT GETS THEM?

JUST MY RANDOM THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.....................

Tommy said I am a buzz kill because of this post. He said our blog was so happy about our awesome trip to Jerome and then I go and post this. I think posting about the good, the bad and the ugly is part of everyday life. REALITY BABY!!! And... if this is so bad, imagine what it could be like if I wasn't smiling all day long, having an exceptionally brilliant day... seeing as that I was not in the urgent care with Pudgie or the emergency room with Jax. (YEAH WE HAVE STARTED OUR SUMMER OFF KINDA YUCKY BUT IT ONLY IS GETTING BETTER!!! I was laughing and singing Taylor Swift songs at the top of my lungs with Brinkley all morning having a blast.... while Pudgie screamed uncontrollably about Thomas trains. OUR Perfect day... and this was just a random thought I posted Tommy. Be thankful I don't post the thoughts I text you at work! Man, I love you babe!
