Update...

I should probably have written this a while back.. but hey.

I'm JOBLESS!! I'm broke! No more JMMB!
We looking for work tho... haven't been putting alot of energy into that, but I need a job... badly.

So... about the parent ppl... been working with it and it not that bad, generally speaking. I juss need a job, cuz i not gettin any substantial amount of money from the parent ppl...

SPRUNG!!

Back in the groove... it's been a while! *sigh*

So, this blog is about being sprung. No... I'm not sprung! But I felt impressed enough to write on this topic.
So? What about being sprung? Is it wrong? Is it right?

Well in the eyes of the enlightened one, it can be bad and good, even tho it will be all good to the sprung one... initially.
Bad to whom? To the friends of the sprung one. Those persons that were involved/ included in the sprung one's life before the wifey(hubby) becomes the... wifey(hubby). But, the sprung one is all caught up and blinded by the new found treasure that he(she) neglects the friends that were once near and dear to them before said person began to play this role. *I confusing myself :S*

Ok! So why do you say it's all good for the sprung one INITIALLY, Jubi?? I've seen it happen time after time. The sprung one neglects their friends and maintains focus on new treasure. But in some instances, this relationship doesn't work out, and the once sprung one finds himself(herself) lost. That is, he(she) has become so used to be surrounding himself(herself) with the treasure, that when he(she) loses said treasure, he(she) will have no one to turn to immediately, as his friends who were so near and dear to him(her) before, have found other ways to occupy their time.
The sprung one may also encounter a problem when the treasure is otherwise occupied and he(she) needs to find something to do while treasure is away. Note: This will have the same problem as the previous example.

Advise to all my "sprung ones" (This applies to married couples as well):
1) Don't neglect your friends totally. Make time for them, even if it's just a phone call every once in a while to see how they're doing. They'll appreciate it, and if the friendship fails, you can argue that it wasn't your fault (completely).
And don't call them asking, "How comes you don't call me?" If you had been answering their calls in the initial stage of your new relationship with the treasure, they'd still be calling now.
2) Spend some time away from your treasure. Allow yourself to miss the treasure, so when you do see her(him) again, it will be that much more special.
3) Have a life outside of that with your treasure, to avoid what was highlighted in the example above.

God forbid that the relationship that you invested so much time in fails. But in the event that it does, listen to my advice, and you will not be lost.

Yes, I'm firing bullets!! Let me know when they connect! :D

Ratings for Lauryn Hill

I dunno if it's my semi depressed state, but i find quite a few songs on her MTV Unplugged Album bring me close to tears when I listen to them. Maybe I should just stop listening to them... but no. They are so true and in this album she revealed all her weaknesses and shows that she is a bit off... mad... gone... but I love it, and I love her music. Truly one of the greats in my book.

If you get a chance you can listen to these songs... my selections
Mr. Intentional
Adam Lives In Theory
I Find It Hard To Say (Rebel) *
Just Want You Around **
Gotta Find Peace Of Mind
Mystery Of Iniquity ***
I Get Out

* Many of us know why this song appeals to me this much... 'nuff said.
** Yow... this applies wickedly right now
*** She ah lick out 'gainst Bush :D

Bobby Pinson - Don't Ask Me How I Know Lyrics

I heard this song while I was on my way to work this morning... I found certain parts of it interesting. Thought I'd share... :D

Don’t ride your bike off a ramp that’s more than three bricks high
Don’t take that candy from the store if you ain’t got the dime
Don’t pick a fight with a little guy that doesn’t talk that much
Don’t pick up a cherrybomb thinkin’ it’s a dud
And don’t sneak out of a 2 story house usin’ bed sheets as a ropeDon’t ask me how I know

Chorus
Sell your truck while it’s still runnin’, save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin’, save your money pay with cash
Forget your pride, buy the roses, if you’re sorry tell her so
Don’t drink the water in MexicoDon’t ask me how I know


Don’t quit your high school football team halfway through the season
Don’t bust your buddy in the nose when you know he didn’t mean it
Don’t lose a girl you love at home for a night in Panama City
Don’t rush off the phone when your Mama calls you ain’t that busy
Ya oughta make that drive to say goodbye to your grampa ‘fore he goes
Don’t ask me how I know

Chorus
Forget your pride buy the roses, if you love her tell her so,
Don’t go to Vegas with your heart broke,
Don’t bum your cousin for that first smoke
I'm tellin' ya, don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know
Don't ask me how I knowI just know
sell your truck while it's still runnin', say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
I know
