First of all, sorry I haven't wrote a blog in a while. Haven't been that busy, just been lazy. Even though I have millions of thoughts in my head at any given time. Just haven't took the time out to write to my peoples.
OK, so where do I begin. Living in DC now I have to endure all kinds of people, all kinds of diversity. In ATL, people adapt to the city and eventually they HAVE to fit in. In DC you don't have to fit in, you can do whatever you want to do and hope someone will accept you. Either way it goes, its just that many people so you can find a new group of associates every week if you like.
Being intertwined with these people I have to listen to some of the craziest conversations I have heard in my life. You know how it is when you hear FOX News, or listen to talk radio, or read comments from newspapers on the web. These people really live amongst us. It's actually kind of scary. A lot of these people work with me and you will never know it until they get into a conversation with you or you over hear a third party conversation when you are out with them.
Today, one of my co-workers who is always posting something on his Facebook page, I guess to appeal to his "other" friends. He made a statement about Cash4Gold and Hammer. I saw it responded, then he tried to get into a heated debate over it. This is not new, this happens at work all the time and he always loses. Why? Because he doesn't know the facts. When you make a statement which is easily verifiable, check the facts before you put it out to the world. It will make you look more intelligent trust me.
I informed this guy on what Hammer can make on this deal. He gets mad. So I break down the numbers Cash4Gold made $30 Mil in 2007 and $90 Mil in 2008, so why can't they pay Hammer over a million dollars in 3 years. Keep in mind he makes appearances and commercials.
So I'm thinking its over, then my BlackBerry goes off and it's this @$$ clown again apologizing to his "other" friends saying it's out of his character. In true Facebook coward fashion, he blocks me because I can't see the post anymore, which is even funnier.
Now what kind of dude gets emotional over a fact check? I won't even spare details on other events, but just know that I and others know the real deal. I guess since it's 2010 people can't keep it 100 at all times. Anyone who knows me personally probably can verify that I'm consistent. Nevertheless, I digress, and I feel better after I blogged. Some people will never learn.
How do you handle people who talk out the side of their neck, then run for the hills when times get tough?

BLOG RULES: 1. If I know you, you are subject to be a subject in my blog. Keep in mind if I don't use your name, then NO ONE knows that is you. So do not get mad at me for putting you on blast. This should keep you on your best behavior when you are in my presence. 2. I will try to keep cursing to the minimum. I want an expanded audience. 3. This is MY blog. So I technically do what I want to do and have the right to delete any unwanted comment. Enjoy
