You’ve heard a lot of my past so lets get back up a little to NOW! There’s so much to talk about and tell about present day things. I just wanted to give a glimpse into what formed my mindset and way of thinking. Who we are NOW is a direct relation to how, where and when we were raised. Things can change though as long as we understand how it started and the direction it took us. Now since I’m talking abut life here, let’s talk about taking yours back!

Why is it that people seem to LOVE to suck the life out of things and come up with a poor me attitude that HAS to outdo the other person? IF people spent half the time doing some thing positive instead of complaining and making it seem like you’re on deaths door, Life would be so much grander for all of us. I have a friend that, OMG, HAS to be the center of attention on everything that is wrong with them and has to make it always sound like its a one step away from death, issue. Being very over weight is not uncommon to be linked to diabetes. My friend is border line to having that. To hear that from them though. They are on death’s door and need to watch every little thing they eat and cut out all sugar and so on. But I say No, just lose some weight and you’ll be fine.

Then there are the people that seem to always have an excuse for being 600 pounds or more and ya know what the number one reason is that they give ,,,, “I was abused as a child!” So, I guess child abuse will cause you to be overweight. We live an age of story tellers and hiders. A story teller is one that tells any story they think of to justify an issue they DO have control of but would rather get the sympathy and have people do things for them. The hider is the one that runs from the truth and denies there is an issue. You know the ones, they are over weight but say they are just fine with their body and nothing is wrong. Guess again Jethro. You have issues and need to address them and not push them off on the unexpecting public. Back in the day a doctor would tell you that you need to lose some weight instead of saying, “Well all your tests came back good, so your fine.” Then you pay a few hundred dollars for that and go on your way to have a heart attack later and see the doctor again so he or she makes more money. It’s all about the money now days for some reason.

All this adds up to one thing, Self-Pride! The general public has traded that in for Media Acceptance! Go with the flow and don’t make waves. Be like what others want and deny what you really feel about something. You can get upset with what I say or even mad, but you know deep down you can’t disagree. A person now days would rather be popular than true to themselves. Sad indeed but true. It’s time to take back our lives and learn that having self-pride will actually make you live a happier and more productive life due to less stress of having to keep up with the Jones. Life is too short to be hung up on a word that was used in a way that offended you. It’s Just a Word! Read my blog on Words and you will know what I am talking about. It’s time to have a little self-control and quit being a sheep that blindly follows where the others are going. Odds are there will be a wolf waiting for them. It’s time to think about what you want instead of what’s most popular. I’m not saying you need to have a me first attitude at all. That would be going too far and you would lose the meaning of life and sharing. That’s a whole other blog though on that topic of losing life’s point.

Bottom line here is we need to get our self-pride back, quit all the exaggerating of the facts and live our life more honestly as to what we really feel and not be so damn sensitive about what is going on. Worry about yourself first, It’s OK to do that.  

Remember to drop me line with any questions, ideas, or if you need help with anything. Also, if you would like to help people like I do, let me know and let’s talk. I’m always looking to build my team!

        Since I know you all loved that little embarrassment Here’s another one.  Funny how that kind f real life stories catches the eye more than others. Of course, the ones with sadness or turmoil are the best, right? Anyway, when we last saw the young 12 yr old monte, he was modeling underwear in front of 2 girls his age…… now we’ll go ahead a little more and get to another embarrassing moment, ready? As you know I grew up in the north and we had a pond on our property. Every year my Dad would test it in the winter to see if it was frozen enough to skate and play on. When it was at that point, I would go and shovel the snow off to include a little entrance way onto the frozen pond. One year when I was in high school, 2^nd year, a good friend of mine who was about 2 years older was dating someone that had a a sister 1 year younger than I. I was 15 at the time and a little on the shy side when it came to girls. Mainly cuz I was always put down and laughed at for some reason. I was not popular at all due to my mom always saying no to stuff. Yeah word got around and in no time I became my own group.

         What I mean by that is the Nerds labeled me as Jock because of my size and strength, the Jocks labeled me as a Tough Guy and the Tough Guys labeled me as a Nerd …. And the Nerds labeled me as …. You cee how it went, thus I was my own group. I really didn’t fit in anywhere. My buddy knew this and tried to help by setting me up with his girlfriend’s sister. She was really good looking so I should have seen it coming. It was winter, and I had the pond all nicely cleared off, a little area for small bond fire to keep warm and some really huge tree logs to use as benches. Everything was set, all I need was for this double date to start. I could hardly wait and looking back I don’t see why I was so excited given my history with girls. As he drove up the driveway I came out to great them. I’ll leave all the names out so now on will be upset or anything should they read this.

       As my date got out of the car I was introduced, and she didn’t really look at me much. Hmm, clue number 1 that she was probably TOLD to do this. I was on my best behavior and didn’t want to scare her off by being like the typical high school guy that just wants one thing …. make out ….. ! We out on our skates and went on the ice. She was a little unstable, so I offered to help her by letting her hold on to me. I could skate pretty good, so I thought it might, just might impress her. Well, clue number 2, she flat said no real quick and kept a close eye on where sister was. I backed off, I didn’t push it. I skated around a little, but it was kind of boring. It was not what I had imagined at all for this date. I knew I was no Chippendale dancer but never thought of myself as bad looking. Maybe I should have and saved myself a lot of heart ache. I offered Hot Chocolate and sit by the fire to warm up and talk. She asked her sister if that’s what SHE wanted to do and then we sat, rather quietly as you can imagine. If I sat close, she moved over, clue number 3.

       Here’s the kicker and what all the clues were adding up to. My buddy and his girl decided to help me out a little so I can get to know my date better without her sister right here. The plan was to say they were going to go the store real quick for something, leaving my date behind sort of hoping it would make her talk to me and perhaps be more comfortable. OK, ready??? This little lady, when the car drove off, took off running down the long ass driveway, waving her arms and yelling for them to stop, wait, you can’t leave me here! Talk about a knock out blow. She wouldn’t talk to me the entire time my friend and her sister were gone. I wasn’t even allowed to get near her. I was told by her that I better just leave her alone. I was like, What did I do? The 2 came back in like 15 minutes and my date started to yell at her sister saying that was not funny and why in the hell did they leave her like that and…. Her sister interrupted quickly and chewed her out big time say how wrong she was for running like that and making Monte feel bad. It was not the mature thing to do at all. My buddy apologized for how the night went but him it’s OK, it’s not his fault. I never told my parents what really happened that night, I just told them it was OK and left it at that. When I reflect on things like this I can’t help but wonder, “What would they think of me now!?” If anyone wants more details on this little story just ask.
