Comeback Season

[Ok so I started this last week, and finished it up. Getting into this once a week thing. Taking things slow...lol]

Thursday, 1.12.12

I just got home from work and after a bit of strenuos day, all I can say is "bring on friday the 13th". I'm looking forward to whatever tomorrow presents because I'm tired of dwelling on the past. I actually told one of the twins today, I said "twin, I'ma tell you what everyone else been telling me about the 'past'.....F*CK the past! Its called "the past" for a reason. Reflect back, but don't dwell. Better days and better things are ahead. And if you keep looking back, you'll never see it when its front of you". Twin didn't say much after that so I guess she got my point. [lol, love you twin] Regardless, its true talk. Last year was some...well it was something. It started out with promise, everything was good, and more times than not, it was great. But of course it couldn't stay good or great for long, not without the effort, and with lack of effort, all good things turn bad. And bad they got, like really bad. And the year quickly transitioned from being 'the SHIT' to being some shit!

Let me put it like this....
It was like running a 200m or 400m race. When the ball dropped, BOOM! I was out of the starting blocks and ahead of the pack and quickly. Oh I owned everyone in that first hundred and fifty meters, "can't catch me!". But then slowly but surely, meter by meter the pace and speed slowed, I got lax and gradually lost focus of the things ahead. Before I knew it, instead of leading the pack, I was trying to stay in pace, seconds later I fell behind and began chasing to catch up. But my legs wouldn't let me and by the end of the race....I had posted the slowest time in track history.

If you get the metaphor, yea it was that bad.

BUT!! With the New Year, comes a New Day and so far, so good. Not great, but good! And thats perfectly fine. It doesn't need to be great now in order for it to be great later. It'll come when it comes so for now, 'Be Patient, Stay Focused, and Follow Through'. LMAO. I've been saying that since Jan 1st, 2012 and it sounds better and better every time. I got plans for this year, and albeit late, they're gonna get done this time around! I'ma do what I should've been doing for years, accomplish what I intend to accomplish. I've definitely learned from the past, I'm still learning to this day. I'll be learning tomorrow and the day after that. But come racetime we're gonna take a different approach, quick out the blocks? (oh of course) but with a pace that gradually speeds up. By the time the last 100 meters comes around, I'll be at top speed and on my way to a record time.

Comeback season, ya know?

Ha, I like the sound of that, "Comeback Season". The season where instead of finishing last, I'll be finishing first. I've got some ideas, and some things I wanna do with this writing. I see new ink on the horizon and a more in depth look into what I refer to as the 'perfect art of a body' (or perhaps 'the perfect body of art'...hmm it needs work regardless). That girl Sallie is gonna get the rest of her money this year too! I'm tired of her being on my back! I'ma take some trips, and I'ma learn some things elsewhere. Then I'm gonna come home, and then go some where else and learn some more things. And all at the same time I'ma be doing my thing and getting sh*t done!Yes more chapters to my inked life are coming as well, I told you its a sickness, and well I got the flu. lol. Matter fact, I still haven't shed any light on the recent inkfest piece. But I will, its pretty much what has kick started things into 2012. More to come on that, its already in the works.
