HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIZTER (Mister)!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE DOG "MIZTER"!!!

Jus wanna give a shout out and a warm Happy Birthday to Mizter!

Isn't he a lil stinker?

Today he turned 3 years old (in human years).

Mizter is a purebred brindled Boxer. Brindled meaning brownish or tawny with streaks of other color. His ears are not cropped and never will be & he also hasn't been neutered. He is currently 55 pounds of light of a subway car and twice as destructive.

During his lifetime Mizter has overcame many of life's challenges. Challenges such as opening doors, learning more than basic voice commands. His judgement and reasoning is uncanny. With jaws of steel and a keen intellect, this pup is not as sweet as the picture appears to be.

(and yes he is still alive)

Presumptuous

presumptuous |priˈzəmp ch (oō)əs|adjective(of a person or their behavior) failing to observe the limits of what is permitted or appropriate.


Just wanted to start out with the facts. Why? Because facts are facts and unlike people, cannot lie. When you read the title and then the definition.. what comes to mind? Hope you're on the right path with me! Since presumptuous is an adjective, people will be our noun. And when we use the word people because it applies to more than just one person. In most opinions, there are a lot of them.
I could generally just go on and on about why and how I feel about it. I'm doing something different. I want you to think of what it means to you, when you read it. Especially the "person or the behavior" part.
This is a different type of entry. I'm trying to get your neurons & synapses firing.

Why Bad Things Happen to Good People.

Wondering why bad things happen to good people is something that no one can really answer. Some may say it is an act of God, while others believe it may be karma. Religion or science should be able to answer, but who really knows? Even the strongest of people have bad days and wonder why them. Could things get any worse? Why did this have to happen to me? And the famous, what did I do wrong? Those are the types of questions that make you think. They linger in your mind and build up in your chest until a volatile explosion.

When these types negative things happen, you can truly, only turn to yourself.. meaning look within. Sure you can ask someone for their advice or for help, but does that one person truly understand how you feel? Or are they just sympathetic to your emotional state at the present time? Self-coping is a sure sign of growth. Overcoming what seems like unbearable situations are those that build character. Becoming stronger and wiser is what every person deems to be. But sometimes those bad things can build up and really take a toll on your life.

Bad things happen to good people because it's a way of life. That's how I tend to look at it. No one said life would be easy & obstacles would be minor. Bad things happen to good people just as it happens to bad people. Whose to say what a good or bad person is.. No man is superior to the next to pass that judgement. Although some people are more negative than others, does that really make them bad? I feel a good person can turn bad. Why?? Because shit happens, and shit happens to the best of us.

I, myself, am a firm believer in karma. I feel that once you put negativity out into the universe, it's bound to have the boomerang effect. It may take weeks or even years to get back to you, but its coming. There's no need to be stagnant about this topic, it's true. I've had my fair share of delving into bad things, because I as a person am human. Whenever I try to do the right thing.. WAM!!!! I get hit with the boomerang. Asking aloud, "Why me, what did I do to deserve this?" I also a man of God, and a firm believer in his existence. Growing up I've heard the saying that he'll never burden you with more than you can handle. But being here on this Earthly world, can sometimes seem to much. Praying for understanding and forgiveness!

Throughout your life, you make your own decisions. You create your own path and must therefore live with the consequences. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Bad things happen to good people because.... I really don't know.

To Roshan (theRosh)

Days turned to weeks, and you know the rest.

The missing you phase is over, loyalty at its best.

Still remembering your laugh, so infections and gay,

Chiefin on the couch, you askin’, “Pass the ashtray.”

“Bless ya’ chile,” you said, great and zest.

Movies were your thing, put it to the test.

Your breakaway array was welcomed anyday.

From the holiday to hearsay, my backup, my mayday.

Always down for the cause, always up wit the latest.

That red ‘lac you was whippin’, yea you were the greatest!

Wanna’ hear your voice, before it fully slips away.

My mind may sway, so hear my prayer today.

When you entered my home, you entered my life,

Wildlife, nightlife… I love you! Enjoy the afterlife.
