Damn it’s cold here in the northeast. Every year we all wonder why we put ourselves through this. Oh well, I guess until I move somewhere else…it’s going to be winter hats, gloves, and gore-tex all over again. One of these days, I swear I’m moving somewhere warmer. Until then, it’s the grind and hustle. Warmer climates are in my future though…for real.
On a completely different note, I’ve been doing a little reflection lately about this whole “hater” phenomenon that has occurred in the last 3-4 years. If you’re not familiar with it, it goes a little something like this. If someone else dislikes, disapproves, is envious or jealous of your situation or agenda then they are labeled as “haters”. Now there always will be people that dislike what you do or say. And since the beginning of time, there have been and always will be envious people. However, nowadays young bucks throw this word around way too loosely/frequently. Young people are walking around acting completely disrespectful and being totally ignorant. If anyone disapproves …they are “haters”. Sorry kids, if you are acting like a douche and someone calls you out on it, they are not hating. They are just calling it as they see it. If someone doesn’t like your car, your new song, the way you smell, your clothes or even the way you carry yourself….take note of it. They may not necessarily be “hating”. Many people out there want to see you do well and succeed. I truly believe that. There are less people out there that want to see you fail personally and/or professionally. Ask yourself if this persons claims have any validity before you label them as a “hater”. In some instances, you should thank that person. Thank them for being honest. Thank them for having the balls and courage to tell you the truth to your face. Personally, I dislike the term. It sounds immature. I truly believe at this point in time if things continue they way they have been that the “hater” movement will be the ultimate demise of our youth. Put that warm empty bottle of champagne in the garbage. Stop fronting on the costume jewelry son. This 106 and park champagne lifestyle is not real. Stop acting like a douche. Next.
Only way to roll in the Northeast.
Enough of the rant…haha. I must say that I have been enjoying the NBA a lot more than I have in previous years. There seems to be a point guard renaissance going on right now with the abundance of exciting super talented pg’s. I’m not mad at that. The guards are the players that make this game exciting. Surprisingly enough, my knicks have won the last 6 games. Amare is beasting averaging almost 35 a game and showcasing his newfound leadership skills. Raymond Felton is most definitely holding his own. New York Basketball is back. Let’s go KNICKS baby!!!
