My lack of sensitivity....

So yesterday I wrote a blog in reference to the frequency in which I will be writing blogs. Note this: THE POST WAS ABOUT ME STARTING TO WRITE A NEW BLOG EVERYDAY. The rest was said jokingly, with a FEW serious statements. But nothing was to be taken to heart. Jokingly people tell me I have nothing better to do or I'm bored, and to those people, I am not referencing you. But there are others out there that truly are, what some would say; against me, and so that was more or less to them.

Some people laughed at yesterday's blog. And some people didn't. The people that had never seen that side of me were in shock and awe. But those who know how I can get, laughed it off and told me to stop acting stupid.

There will be times I write blogs that people my not agree with, or my feel hurt by. Put a comment below and I'll address it. I'm never going to go to far or just seem out right rude or incompetent, but everyone is not going to agree with what I say, and I may even say things that are shocking.

Just note, they are thoughts, nothing is charted out or planned, I write it as I think it. If you need clarification about something, click on "add comment" below and I'll address it.

It was not about kicking people out of my life. That will come later...HAHAHA!!

In reference to a few things. The blog was e-mailed to my family, but more people than just my family read the blogs. Below are a few responses that I had to make in order for people not to smear my name in the streets do to miscommunication:

"my blog was very general and called no one out...anyone that was offended called themselves out..."

"but people can be a bit sensitive..."

"I only have the e-mails of family...but many other people read my blogs...so it was a very general blog...with no references to any particular person"

"just wanted to inform most people that I am writing blogs everyday now..."

"more or less to be informative...I just got heated near the end...but more than just family read my blogs..."

"So I had to add a disclaimer to the beginning of my blog because I realized more people took it personally than necessary. Not all off of my blogs have been of this nature. This is [yesterday]’s blog, other blogs, included some of my poems and videos are of encouragement, everyday events, and other things in life, not just my own."

"I hope people don’t read this one blog and get an incorrect perspective of who I am, without reading any of the other blogs that I have posted. If so, that is a regard to their own shallowness in judging who I am based on what I’ve written in 1 blog, disregarding anything else I have written, because they have read none of the others."

But if you were offended I do apologize, but remember my life is just as real as yours and you should respect that. But please do read my other blogs if you haven't. You will see that many of them are not like the last one.

But in addition to random blogs there will be discussions of events in my life, and they may offended some people. Yet, for me to overcome my own trials, I will need to address them, and if someone is offended by that, then they themselves my be the trial that I am overcoming. And if you feel that it is you, just ask evin.grant@gmail.com.

I will let you know if it has anything to do with you or not. But if you don't think it is about you, don't take it so personally. Unless I blatantly call you out, then don't assume it is about you, because then there will be unnecessary hostility that could have been avoided.

**And also, this blog was not written at work, it was written the day before and set to post in the morning. Many of my blogs are pre-written and set to post while I'm at work, so no, I don't write blogs at work everyday. To help clear that up as well - not directed at any particular person - another GENERAL statement (so I really hope I don't have say this in every personal blog)**

Thanks,

When The Sun Is At It's Highest Point...and Some Spring Cleaning!

**PAY ATTENTION/ Disclaimer - this is to be taken lightly...I am not stepping on anyone's toes...just wrote it how I thought it. Don't take stuff too personally, a lot of times it is me and has nothing to do with you. I just wrote it how I thought it, a lot of times I'll just say how I feel about something...and if someone gets offended...i just tell them don't point an angry finger at me for saying it...point an angry finger at yourself for doing it against me.../ and again I edit - this is meant to inform everyone about the frequency in which I will be writing blogs. Anything at the end is mind farts that came out as I typed, but they will not be removed, for I have the freedom to express how I choose./ there will be a follow up blog in regards to this tomorrow.**

So last night I decided (well it's been something I though about for a while), that I am going to try and post a blog once a day, and by noon on each day. Whether that means, creating it the night before and setting it to post the next morning, or just posting one each day before the afternoon.

Either way, if you check my blog every day after noon, there will be something new. So that will require you to check my blogs EVERYDAY, or spend 1 day catching up on all that you missed. This will help get traffic to this blog, my Artistry blog, and my YouTube Channel.

As far as my artistry blog, I will try to have at least 2-3 new post every week. That is the same with my YouTube account. So believe THERE WILL BE RANDOM POST (most like about "nothing"), because of my attempt to create them consistently.

And [some people are] saying "oh you must have nothing to do", "you must have too much free time", "get a hobby"...well surprise to you, this is my hobby. In my creation of these and my videos I have no free time. If you have been keeping up, I am behind on pictures on my Grant Photography page.

But to anyone who feels that this or my YouTube post is done out of boredom, or lack of something better to do. You are sadly mistaken. They are done as a form of expression. They are done as a "hobby" which I choose to do out of interest in expressing my thoughts to the world, and not out of boredom.

I apologize that you don't have the free time to explore everything you are interested in your own life, but DO NOT rain on my parade in light of supporting what I choose to do.

In other words, be a part of my life, or get out of my life.

I'm spring cleaning, so don't get thrown away with the trash. Cause either way I'll encourage myself.

Love you all,

Comment below if you so desire. I've had to edit it due to misconceptions on what this was about. Tomorrow's blog will address that.

And tell your friends to check me out.

**I apologize that the pics are bad. I had accidentally left my camera in the car, so I had to use my phone/ CLICK HERE TO SEE MY VIDEO**

So last night I went to the Obama Event Party at NC State. It was fun and filled with energy, mostly because by the time it had started, around 9 PM, CNN already had anticipated his win in NC, followed by him slowly closing in on Hilary Clinton in Indiana (which although she won, it wasn't by enough to brag about, in comparison to his nearly SPANKING her in NC - based on votes not percentage).

But Tenesha invited me, because she didn't want to go alone. I personally didn't care to go at all, but I went in support of her. I'm political, but I don't really care about this part now, I know who I voted for, but in November there will only be 1 option anyways, and they will be saying the same things they have said since the first primary vote (unless Hilary continues to change her mind about every topic as she realizes people are losing interest in her).

So I "got" (ask if you need clarification) a ticket and went. We were at the front of the stage, while being in the back of the group. When you see the THOUSAND of people on TV at these parties, it's all camera tricks. The people on stage, and the ones in the stands around him, were about all the people there. The ones on the floor is a small group just to give the camera some heads to look over to show on TV, but it wasn't too packed on the floor because most of the people were in the stands as a back drop for when the cameras pan and zoom.

But he spoke, and we couldn't hear him over everyone yelling. But you guys hear a direct audio feed from the mics into your TVs, we hear the stadium speakers...which SUCK! We cheered, my legs were sore, and we went home. But it was a good experience to be a part of the "Yes We Can"..."Change We Can Believe In" Movements.

So in November make sure you support Obama, cause Hilary might not be able to catch up. Sorry Hitlery...I mean Billary....I mean HILARY...

Can't seem to get that right.

And I voted...Did you?

*See video at bottom*

**Question: how is he able to memorize his speech, but Hilary must continually look at her notes? Odd, He might have glanced down a few times (if at all), but there are times where she is straight reading from a piece of paper!!! What the "truck" is up with that...??**

Looking Back

I had not intention of blogging today, I was just going to make a video about my mishap. But I decided to start this week with a little excerpt of my weekend. Oh, and is it funny. (I did make a video, click here)

Friday: So I get in from work and dropping the roommate off at the airport, and I decide to play some Gran Theft Auto 4 (Click here to see a video of it). Well I'm playing the game, and it is about 6. I am minding my own business. Playing single player, playing online, not a care in the world. Earlier that day I sent Tenesha a text message, but she didn't responded. Figured she was at work dealing with the kids and couldn't get back at me, a usual deal so I kept playing my game.

Well around 10:30 that night, my brother in law shows up at my front door. I let him in thinking he just wanted to hang out somewhere, so I go back to playing the game. This dude tells me that for the past 4 or so hours him, my sister, my mom, and Tenesha have been trying to call and text me. (SO ANY ONE ELSE THAT TRIED, SORRY). Come to find out, my phone had not been receiving calls all night. My sister then came in the house and called my phone with her phone and we sat there watching it not ring. So yea, I wasn't passed out, and no one was holding me hostage, I was chilling playing my game without a care in the world, while my loving family freaked out thinking I was dead or something. But I appreciate the concern, a lot of people don't have that. So if you call me next time, leave voicemails, I'll get them the next morning I guess.

Well Saturday I wake up and discover that I did have voicemails just the little symbol didn't come up & although I sent text messages, MY phone said they never got sent (sitting in the drafts box), but like Tenesha said she got the one I sent her and responded to it. So yea, odd. Saturday I went back to playing some GTA4.

Then I had my Cinco/Tres de Mayo party. It was fun had some homies over we played Rock Band and Wii. I re-broke Rock Band. So I was playing a song and then on the next song the RED DRUM PAD stopped working. And that a mother-shut-yo-mouth. So that was the highlight/lowlight of Saturday. I did get to hang with my homie from Cali and his Hispanic Mami, Also Kira and Travis came by. But out of no where, my homie Born from high school popped up. A few other people were gonna come, but they choice not to since the male to female ratio was pretty equal.

Well Sunday morning had to be at church at 8, because my mother was preaching. Talk about being tired. Moving on. She had a really good sermon though, that I actually listened to and took parts of it with me. (Funny thing, I recited a part of her sermon to her, and she didn't remember it. Was she not listening to herself?) But then we had family plus (meaning a lot of other people) dinner after church. Lost to my homeboy in spades again, and then went home to clean and get the roommate from the airport.

So yea, that was my weekend. Probably the most I've done in a while. Well other than seeing my Brother In Law at that restaurant/bar that time. That was funny.

I'm Gone

P.S. I sent in a request to get my drums replaced. Hopefully they will do it, because playing the drums is my favorite part. Guess that explains why they are broke now.
