The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
April 1, 2009 3 Comments
I was listening to Kanye and Consequence this morning and got inspired to write today’s post.
Yea I’m a little late touching down on the keyboard today, but as the weather gets warmer coincidentally my schedule is looking fuller and the pace on daily walks have slowed. I get to clear my head when I’m outside walking with my dog or on my way somewhere. This morning I woke up with one bad attitude and let the most insignificant thing upset me is it that time of the month? But once I got outside, started looking up at the trees, did an inhale exhale, I got right back to my center. It’s amazing, our metaphysical connection to nature and the universe, how many of us can truly say that we get time to connect to the universe on the daily?
But I digress!
The good the bad and the ugly. I thought of how I can break that down in my life. I’ll have moments where I am feeling so good, and then moments where my good mood starts getting weighed down by people, words, situations, and other negative forces. Life is all about ups and downs. But it’s when you can sit back and analyze how you’ve truly overcome obstacles by dissecting and then putting it all together again, is when you can feel a sense of accomplishment.
Relationships
The Good- The honeymoon phase. Married or not, it’s those initial moments where y’all can’t get enough of each other. PDA is common, phone calls are frequent, and the promises to deliver are made. More importantly the bedroom action is on point. I can honestly say in my previous relationship, the honeymoon phase lasted for about 2 months. I was so distracted by the fuzzy feelings that I did a Shamwow on everything he said to me. Little did I know that he was filling in my blanks. Meaning that I broke every relationship rule, told him that I wanted nothing but a serious relationship, ring on my finger, no games, and all this before getting to know who he really was and what he was all about. So like a hungry vulture, he went in for the carcass (pause?). I was already damaged and dying, his meal required no kill.
The Bad- End of Honeymoon phase, calls started to become less frequent, excuses come up and out of the works. I start to morph into a wildebeest as excuses in my head automatically mean OTHER WOMAN. I got into a pattern where every weekend would be fight weekend and by Wednesday we would kiss and make up. Makes no sense right? But the bad started to become my distorted view of good.
The Ugly- The fights became more intense, the excuses turned into broken promises, unexplained absences would result in increased anxiety. In the back of my mind the relationship was over but technically it still stands. I am repulsed by what I see when I look in the mirror and when I look at him. All I saw was butt ugly…this is when I made a change for the better.
The Good- His ass is grass, yea I dumped him!!…He pulled the last straw and got on my last nerve thus:
…I greet it as good/ when you leave with the good
Its all good in the hood/ got called good cuz I’m good
Now I’m havin some good nights/ livin this good life -Consequence The Good, The Bad,The Ugly
Single, secure and sound. Best decision/lesson of my life.
Work/Career
The Good- Just graduate from college, you got the degree/diploma, and you feel accomplished. Your resume is looking tight and the interview wardrobe has been updated. I worked my way up with my current employer from the stores to the head office within a year. I was happy as hell that I secured a position in my field, BRAGGING RIGHTS??
The Bad- I had an early introduction to my good friend Office politics. It’s similar to chatty, cliquey high school behavior, but it was being perpetuated by people my parents age. On top of that, my company is small so my butt was not getting a promotion anytime soon. ROAD BLOCK!
The Ugly- In fear of becoming complacent I make myself sick applying for jobs, going to interview after interview, with no success. Jobs are only offered to me that I am over qualified for, salaries are shit. I don’t really want to be in this industry but I can’t face the ugly reality that I may be in the same position for another 25 years *GASP*. In the meanwhile, acquaintances land amazing jobs and my envy turns into jealousy..then misery.. hi hater?
The Good- my interest started growing in activities outside of work. I start blogging and before you know it I’m a blogging machine HELLO GODDESS!! I am able to express myself the best way I know how. Sure I’m unpaid now, but for how long?
I have a few projects on the go, and now my focus is no longer on the dreary confines of my cubicle. I now go to work with a new attitude FUCK YOU PAY ME!
With my earnings and help of my readers I can grow Goddess Intellect and make shit happen, finally!
I could go on with examples, really, I could.
But that would turn into a damn novel and you would have to pay for that!!!
I hope I got the wheels turning, there truly is a good, bad, and ugly to every situation in life.
Now I know many of the GI readers are shy, but break out…any thoughts or examples of The good, bad and Ugly?
God don’t like Ugly,

I was the same way until I accidently knocked out the entire network @ work so I couldn’t reply right away. It’s ok tho. I’m an untrained professional IT person.
