Chupacabras

Have you ever had someone close to you or maybe even someone that you just had to deal with that drains you? You know the type of person, that is constantly miserable and will not quit until they at least bring down your mood a couple of notches. Yea, well I call those kinds of people Chupacabras. Chupacabras are a type of emotional vampire. A Chupacabra is the type of person who constantly meddles in the affairs of others. They are particularly drawn to happy upbeat people. I suspect that they prefer to prey on happier people because the happier the person the more energy they can steal from them. A chupacabra may seem normal at first and then they will gradually give theselves away, usually with negative comments that will increase in boldness and frequency overtime. Chupacabras tend to try very hard to initially win affection usually with gifts and uncommon thoughfulness. A Chupacabra will diligently build a friendship, and normally display common attractive charcteristics such as a sense of humor, strong ethics, very agreeable, steady and reasonable character.--- BUT THEN!!! the complaints will start. The complaints will begin few and far in between about minor annoyances, and will go unoticed at first. The frequency at which a Chupacabra complains will increase. Chupacabras will try to erode the self esteem of their new victim/friend if allowed. Chupacabras usually are given to vice such as SMOKING, GOSSIP, and EXCESSIVE SHOPPING.

Chupacabras are shape shifters and will only look like the picture above in their true form. Chupacabras will almost always look normal, you can only tell if someone is a Chupacabra in disguise from their character. Chupacabras are usually early risers and tend to be hard workers. Again they display desirable characteristics iniatially, its only until you get to know them that they expose who they really are. Chupacabras will intentionally irritate and emotionally harrass their victim with back handed compliments and sideways put downs. Chupacabras are PRONE TO NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Chupacabras rob the victim of their life energy while the victim is feeling emotional stress, this is how the Chupacabras feeds. Chupacabras appear to be optimistic but when feeding expose a deep set pesimistic minset. I would advise anyone who has discovered that they are dealing with a Chupacabra to limit exposure to the Chupacabra immediately!! Chupacabras are extremely dangerous. Future relationships or dealings with Chupacabras should be avoided at all costs.

If you or someone you know would like to share their experience/ encounter with a Chupacabra please contact the Chupacabra Hotline at leiominala@yahoo.com

Integrity

Integrity is a very important part of every day life. In fact life as we know would not exist if it were not for integrity. I have noticed that slowly people are losing value for integrity. Everyday people seem to become just a little bit more corrupt than they were the day before. Technology has also become a tool of the immoral A.K.A (indentity theft, and internet scams). Currently it is not a surprise to come across in real life or to hear about someone via the grape vine or the news who has commited some deplorable act. The things we hear about on the news and consider abhorrent are only the next logical step for many immoral and rude acts that most would consider not a big deal. For example; two people fighting in public subsequently getting arrested. This example is only the next logical step to the many small spats and arguments that we all *especially in the NYC* witness everyday.

These tiny back and forths usually start over someone bumping into someone and not saying excuse me, stepping on someones foot without excusing themselves, and even more commonly over minor traffic disputes. Really, it should be considered outrageous for two adults to argue in public period the end. These unfortunate exchanges -if ever- should only take place one in a blue moon not a hundred times a day.

So much goes on "today" that 50 years ago would have been considered TOAT TALLY INSANE. Contemporary daily interaction, ie *arguing in public, yelling, being rude, violence* that just 50 years ago people would have looked at you like you were wearing doo-doo for lotion, now passes for weekday/broad daylight casual behavior. Our society is becoming grossly desensitized to violence and beligerence. This desensitization lends to the erosion of our integrity as humans. I know this sounds very morose BUT there is a bright side. These minor infractions can be easily corrected if we all check our manners on a daily basis. It takes two to argue, so even if one person is being egregiously unreasonable there should be the adult on the other end to balance things out. And if that is too hard the we could improve our collective integrity just by making sure that we are not being that egregiously unreasonable person. BINGO! PROBLEM SOLVED! :)

If this was a bit of a hefty upshot to grasp then take a look at the quick check list below.

WHEN YOU ARE IN AN EXTREMELY ANNOYING SITUATION;
1. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER WOULD DO.
2. IF YOUR GRANDMOTHER IS NOT THE BEST ROLE MODEL, THEN THINK; WWJD, AND DO THAT.
3. IF YOU ARE NOT RELIGOUS, AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER HAD A TEMPER THEN CONSIDER WHAT OPTIMUS PRIME WOULD DO, AND DO THAT.

World peace down, global economy and world hunger to go!

Came Outcha' Face?

Okay, so have you ever been so angry that you totally came out of character?
Haven't we all??? Oh, yes we have. After the dust has settled isn't it the most embarrassing thing ever? Many times I am able to look back and laugh because I cannot believe that I was soo angry and other times I am not really able to laugh becuase, jee it really wasn't funny at all, just plain embarrassing. Wouldn't life be so much easier if we could always stay composed , cool amd calm? BUT THATS NOT LIFE! And when life is getting the best of you and you feel like you are about to put on a show maybe it would be best to just leave the situation if possible, and if it is not physically possible for to leave the situation then chill out mentally and count to ten. I know the next time life is about to make me vogue I am gonna step back from the situation if not physically then mentally and I am going to count to ten and think of three things;
1. Where I want to be
2. Where I am going to be
3. How it isn't worth it to vogue right now, cuz I have worked too hard at my character to put on an embarrassing show and have to live with it later.

Beauty of Poverty

Yes, although poverty is not usually described as beautiful, I can assure you that it is sometimes beautiful. Poverty is a strange phenomena that binds people from different unfortunate circumstances into a similar unfortunate economic reality. Poverty is most beautiful when it motivates someone to change their economic situation. For example; a person who was born into poverty but decided that they would no longer live a second best lifestyle, and thus they find a way to develope themselves as a person, and to also upgrade their quality of life. The best success stories are most often the ones that start out with a desperately poor person. It is always refreshing to see the underdog succeed. It is even more fulfilling to be the successful underdog. Stories about people who were born with nothing and have extraordinary characters and somehow find a way to make money and have a happy ending will never get old.
Poverty for some is alomost like the hot water that turns beans into great coffee. Or the pressure that would turn a lump of coal into a diamond. Poverty can be an honorable test of strength for those who overcome it. For those that succumb to it ...well that is a sad story for another day. My advice would be to overcome it.

Wolves and Sheep

...so btw its hilarious when the light is about to change to the walk signal and the "Wolves" A.K.A the "intelligent", "go getter", "think for themselves" kinda people start walking before the walk sign tells them to and all the sheep just wait until the signal allows them to walk....gosh I want to be one of the wolves.

*THINK FOR YOURSELF* *THINK FOR YOURSELF AND OBEY THE RULES AT THE SAME TIME*

Bad Attitudes = Not a Good Look

I have noticed through the course of living everyday life that people who appear to have a bad atttude are received as a bit wiser. It seems as though these people with bad attitudes also see themselves as smarter than others -(like myself)- who generally have an upbeat and perky attitude. This is a truly sad and huge misjudgment. The person who is upbeat and bouncing off the walls is not always happy becuase they are total idiots and oblivious to lifes ebb and flow of misfortune. These people who are always happy and cheery are totally -well at least most of them- aware of the nonsense that comes along with everyday life. Infact the people with the super smiley attitudes have already accepted the fact that everything doesn't go the way you want it to and bottom line STUFF HAPPENS. In reality the people who are perceived as air headed becuase they are always happy are the smart ones, and the bad attitude having people around you need to grow up. Having a bad attitude is not a sign that you see the world for what it is, however, it is a sign that you are not emotionally mature and that you get caught up in the petty details of life rather than seeing the bigger picture. I am not saying that you cannot occasionally get into a funk, but this is directed specifically towards a certain type of personality, (you know the kind with the permanent grumpies). So for all those people with stinky 'tudes you should do yourself a favor and cheer up, because its not making you any better eqipped to deal with the (BOLD SUBSTITUTION)that we all deal with everday. In fact attitudes make grumpy people look kinda childish and dumb, and in the end you are only making everybody else feel happy about their lives and the fact that they aren't you lol.
