dedicated to YOU.

I know I haven't blogged in more then a month & people have been asking me, where's the new blog? Well, honestly I've been too busy & when I did have a moment to blog, I couldn't think of a subject that "touched" me at that moment. That is until now. Lately, I've been getting a little ticked off at a number of folks who have been underestimating my work ethic, calling me "lazy", & point blank telling me I don't do anything. Not to mention people saying how "rude" I am for not making time for them in my life. Normally, I ignore the words & go on about my business. But as of late, It's really been getting under my skin. I do entirely too much work for someone to have the audacity to call me "lazy" if I'm not out at an event shooting pics, interviewing, filming or networking; I'm at home searching for news, updating, editing (pics & video), setting up interviews/events and promoting. Basically getting my company, my dream to where I envision it to be. I am in no way complaining about the amount of work I have, because I actually love it. All I'm saying is, don't be so quick to talk shit or downplay me or my situation when you haven't walked an hour in my shoes. For the people who say things like "you can't talk? well excuuuuuse me" or "you're so rude" There are deadlines I have to meet. Sometimes I don't have time to return a phone call right away, I'm doing something dammit. I'm not just laying in bed daydreaming. Oh and another thing that pisses me off lately: I'll say "I'm tired" and people will reply with "You're always tired, you mad lazy"....How about you just shut the hell up? CLEARLY, I'm tired because I didn't sleep. Nighttime separates the people that really want to live their dreams from the people that are still dreaming. Anyway, I'm turning this post into a venting session, so I'm going to reel it back in lol...I write all this to say; Not everything that glitters is gold. It looks fun and easy, but it takes A.L.O.T of hard work and dedication. What looks like a simple 2 minute task to you, took about 6-8 hours for me. Hell sometimes, I work so hard on things that I forget to eat! So before you open your mouth to tell me (or someone else) how we aren't doing "anything" open your eyes & you might actually see someone making a dream become a reality. It might not be what YOU want it to be at the moment, but you betta believe Silent is gonna get rich or die trying! Ya dig!

Truth & Lie

For my first official post, I figured I'd write about Truth, since it ties in with my blog title. Then I thought about the word "truth" and how it's so intertwined with the word "lie." Which lead me to a question I seem to always ask myself: Why do people lie? Why is it so hard for people to tell the truth? Fear of humiliation? Fear of getting caught? Fear of not living up to a standard? Fear of upsetting another? I can go on and on. Some people are so complusive with their lies, that it becomes a reflex of sorts. No bueno (not good) if you ask me, lol. My thing is why lie? Why sit there and rack your brain for an "Excuse" a "reasoning" or a "cover up" to something that you're going to have to keep up with. Most lies cause problems and come back to bite you in the ass. So why not nip it in the bud from the jump, with the truth? I think lies also have to do with self-esteem issues. People try to look good to not only others, but themselves. So by lying, they look and feel great. They feel important. Well I say, bump you and your self esteem issues, don't have me go through all this stress, if you're not ready to keep it real with me! Don't waste someone's time, if your not ready to be honest. Granted I have lied before. Yes. That was then, this is now. I pride myself in telling the truth. It's exhilarating to me in some ways. I found out that, in being honest with myself, it was easier to be honest with others. Yea, you might not like my honesty, But I'm not here to please you. If anything, I'm showing you who I really am. We also have to remember, truth is a fact, not an opinion. Don't confuse the two. And, there are times when withholding the truth is actually a good thing to do. If a friend is going through the grieving process of having lost a loved one and being around them is causing your mood to be affected in a negative way, you should keep it to yourself of course. You're not exactly telling a lie, you're more so showing sympathy and understanding. All in all, it takes a great amount of courage to tell the truth. But to tell the truth without judgement or with blame, is definitely empowering to say the least. So keep it One Hunneth! lol (real, 4 the slow people).

Silent

Finally!

Well I did it! After procrastinating for so long, I finally made my blog! I gotta give a quick shout out, because although I've been wanting to make one for awhile, It's because of two girls, that I finally did it. I came across Sherryon & Harmony on Twitter, and both linked me to their blogs. I found myself agreeing and disagreeing with some of their posts, which in turn gave me the push I needed to make mine! So thanks ladies! Ya'll make sure to check out their blogs (links at end of post). It's 3:03 am and I'm just posting this to get started. Nothing serious, Just a little hello. So here's to the start of a long friendship people! Let's go!
