This Life: Blame It On The…

June 24. 2009 by admin.

In this life you’re responsible for your own actions; you can’t blame it on anyone or anything- despite what Jaime Foxx says. For instance, I recently experienced a situation where someone who I considered “a friend” overstepped their boundary in our friendship, and I couldn’t find peace within myself until I confronted them about it. Imagine already feeling despondent about a particular situation in life, only to have “a friend” make you feel a lot worse about it. That’s not cool and unlike the popular Dionne Warwick song, “that’s NOT what friends are for!” To make matters worse I learned the following day that even after the well-deserved tongue lashing I couldn’t hold back- come to find out “my friend” was “drunk and didn’t recall the situation”. WTF??? Now that totally pissed me off because you know the truth comes out when you’re drunk, so he obviously meant what he said and everything that I said clearly went thru one ear and out the other! Whether under the influence or not, that’s no excuse to get too familiar- especially when the friendship is still new. My advice is: It’s never too early or too late to CHECK your friends when they get too comfortable. If they’re a true friend, they’ll know it’s not coming from a bad place and your feelings should never come second to their Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-ALCOHOL!
