2. TGIF wow marketing literally was change forever after this slogan or better yet phrase
was conceived. And the older many of us get the more most of us look forward to what is
referred to as the weekend. Starting for many of us as grammar school children the
weekend was always a designated time where we through time and rituals have been
program to expect some sort of miraculous change. Change in what we felt or just a relief
from the everyday struggles or hardships many probably are confronted with throughout
the week. Problem is the weekend in some lives has turned into a crutch almost like a
back stop where problems that realistically need to be address are just on a recurring
basis put on a back burner and picked up again and again repetitiously on you guess it, on
Monday.
weaken |ˈwēkəәn|
verb
make or become weaker in power, resolve, or physical strength
It’s like the matrix people innocently become consume with concluding most anything
they’re engaged in on Friday only to start all over again the following Monday. You in
some instances will see just how society even controls the thought and productivity
process in marketing quite honestly to specific demographics. Culturally whether we’re
coherent or not the weekend is a primary dynamic when the word control in analyzed.
And if you’re fortunate enough to travel or actively seek productive curricular activities
you’ll see on a first hand basis what’s intentionally being made accessible to the masses
but you have to know where to look and of course find it. Only minutes away in may
communities they’re educational family oriented activities that can make a families
weekend a more productive one as well enjoyable. Sleeping off a drunken stupor or even
if you don’t drink staying indoors on a Saturday morning or Sunday in some sense even
slows down the productive process.
I formerly live in the Washington DC metropolitan area and only with my family each
and every weekend we did something. Never staying in doors sleeping anything off or
being in active whether it was museums or sight seeing on the Washington Lawn. Roller
skating bike riding music recitals and when the girls became older concerts and
vacations. The weekend was no time for sleeping and if I had to say it was beneficial but
even during those times in DC it was imperative that the only way you’d find something
to do was to seek. And that meant reading and seeking information via the internet or
friends especially through higher learning publications in the event that you are trying to
prepare children for college.
3. Grownups tragically become so programmed in regards to the weekend don’t get me
wrong there’s absolutely nothing at all negative or wrong with having a great time. But
we have to begin to make the same assessments about our weekends as we would with
having goals and an objective. I’d recently gotten to the point where I started looking
around in places asking myself “what am I doing here” probably great places where I
frequently in the past socialize with some good people, but what was being gain
productivity wise. And realistically the same places we all may frequent wouldn’t miss
you the next day what so ever no matter what you think. And the same places where
someone is definitely in some capacity specifically meant to be there to get you right
back in the same exact sit each and every week, more so to pay a bill then to really care
about what’s going on in your life.
Self gratification or indulgence one might say but it is what it is, I began not only to learn
a lot more about what I choose to do and people I would do it with. It means more than
you will ever realize it will when it comes down to assessing your own personal life at
the end of the day you should never assume some one doesn’t already feel as if they
know you. Predictability leads to complacency especially when one constantly finds them
self around people who care absolutely nothing about them and especially trying
desperately to satisfy them.
I use to love talking to my late uncle David Lee Rogers when he was alive and I’d sneak
to see him starting when I was 12 years old. At a place called Zimp’s back in the days
(known at the Light Rail Café’ now and once as the Corner Pocket) he’d say “nephew the
one thing you should always remember about people who are quick to shake your hand or
smile at you. Is they’re already working an angle trying to find a weakness, nit everybody
but those ones that are a little bit to damn quick” and he’d tell me “to always look
thoroughly at the room whenever you come in wherever you are eyes are always a dead
give away, especially uncomfortable eyes. At one point when you begin to notice eyes
more than having a good time that’s a distraction which means it’s time to go”. I literally
got to the point where I began to see exactly who had intention of doing nothing but to
weaken every thing that came in contact with them and with constant indulgence actually
some of these same characters would through manipulation of a resource, or something
some people might need like confirmation or exposure hand pick the right people. Ready
for the weekend, probably more appropriately said ready for the weaken?
A powerful personality and man in his prime like Muhammad Ali for instance who
endured everything put physically in front of him. And all obstacles designed specifically
by unfriendly alliances him self even required indulgence or motivation. And from a man
who couldn’t even keep him self personally in order and live indiscipline with a known
dependency of alcohol and carousing (Budini Brown). And at times it will be assumed
that many of the idiosyncrasies behavior wise that you may constantly be expose to
personally will eventually become if not contagious but sometimes being there (in a
certain environment or negative individuals) is just as negative as partaking.
4. If you’re constantly around men for instance who speak negatively about women for
instance it’s safe to say you’re condoning this type behavior. Especially those known to
be abusive physically mentally and oppressively and yes stalkers included. And at times
if one has no real connection to the concept of respecting a women or has never been
taught and has influence they will surround themselves with the weaken. Within the last 8
years especially of my life personally I wouldn’t classify anything I have asserted as an
epiphany I would be more comfortable to say it’s more I being comfortable with who I
have become as a man. So people of the male species need confirmation I was raise never
to expect it and that would make life more comfortable as well manageable, in other
words like it is written “everyman carries his own weight”. Comfort and control should
never be confused and basically comfort is to be free as control is to be managed?
And anyone who knows me personally understands exactly what I will never be and
possible to the chagrin of more than I will never even know who have already been
controlled.
Therefore it would give one more incentive to begin to change the rational of maybe your
personal thinking where you have become like many others caught up in the matrix. And
that would start with re-programming one self to be more intuitive seeking more
activities that would be beneficial to especially the growth of young or impressionable
children or young adults in those teenage years where the streets are just waiting to hold
them captive or just might already, but in all due respect you may honestly be resting
from the night before?
If some people of influence especially spent more time disseminating information about
positives things it would be contagious. It’s very sad but sometimes in order to become
more productive as well live a better life moving to the suburbs isn’t the only thing that
changes that. Because if you’re around negative people and things socially you bring that
same mentality back into the homes where you’re teaching and setting examples every
single day. Children are in most cases destine to be clones of there parents just as it was
in our cases growing up, some of the same things we hated about our parents seem not to
have fallen far from the tree. Not saying at all it was necessarily bad or negative but in
the event it was is that the real example that you want as part of your legacy or to be
remembered by because one day each and every single one of us will be just that, a
memory.
5. Today is Friday TGIF a relief for many but the reminder when reality kicks in after the
weekend is over is have you been weaken or was it productive? Hopefully you’ll put
smiles on the faces of each and every one you’re expose to each and every weekend. It’s
totally gratifying to know or to see that someone is benefitting from an incentive base
weekend especially when it’s you. Have a good weekend my friends.
