TableTops

i attended a chinese new year dinner in january; it was a fundraiser for a local school & during the dinner one of the instructors spoke about the significance of the year of the dog. one of the many topics he spoke about was keeping things Above The Table= Honesty. he said that nothing gets accomplished by Lying and keeping things Under The Table. it's one of My mantra's Honesty; to me it's as essential as water. honesty became an epiphany for me nearly a decade ago; after spending most of my youth lying about what took place in my parents house.

i began using the 3Strikes rule in college; striking out my life is simple. i will use the last guy i Attempted To Date:(when someone isn't sincere with their feelings or intentions towards the person(s) they are dating.) as an example of this. what once used to take me 2Years only took me 10Weeks-a new record for me. here are few example of behavior i don't think anyone should display if they want to have a Healthy relationship. 1. coming onto a friend of mine during a party in my honor. 2. i had to pay for my own sushi on my birthday 3. threatening, raging and argumentative behavior when i called him out on His actions.

i have noticed lately that there's a disturbing trend happening, maybe it Began when Clinton decided that IT didn't happen; or maybe Enron or TomDeLay. it's called accountability-and most of these men didn't admit to fault until they had been caught. accountability for Right/Wrong seems blase in this decade filled with cheating& lying @ everyLevel of the corporate, academic and social world. i look @ accountability the same way i will always look @ trust. working within habitat for humanity learning that i was responsible for a site & i was accountable for everyone who worked with me. meaning; safety, assembly & communication: typical corporate management skills. i have applied these skills to my life & will encompass what the chinese instructor said-i will Live this year OnTop of the Table.

as for AttemptingToDate-i am currently off the market & have decided to refocus my life on my company; friends & staying true during the year of the dog. embracing my inner-strength& wearing more red & learning the delicate ways of saying No. remember that if someone doesn't respect you tell them that the fasten seatbelt sign has been turned off & they are Free to move about the cabin.
