Too much energy devoted to negative thoughts?

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 18:01:26 GMT

Most people I know do this. A very fortunate few don't.

The crowd I hang with does this a lot. Most are unaware that they are doing it. They go through life reacting to stimulus which dictates their behavior. This behavior shapes their opinions and attitudes and the cycle starts over again. Second verse, same as the first. I've done it plenty. Sometimes I don't know I'm doing it and other time I realize it but I seem to lack the ability to change it so I "watch" from a third person perspective as the movie plays out.

I'm so tired of this behavior and the resulting behaviors. I'm also tired of the way it makes me feel. I'm tired of the turmoil it causes around me and between me and my friends. I'm tired of dealing with other people's problems that are too closely related to my own. I release my demons. I open their steel reinforced, highly secure cage that has a permanent residence in my brain. I refuse to be subjected to these negative thoughts. I will not perpetuate this madness. Not anymore.

I may not be perfect. Anyone that knows me, know this. But no one is. So I'm in good company.

Isn't it funny how....

Sha'Ra — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:18:39 GMT

Isn't it funny when your the blacksheep and your the good one? Sometimes people realize they were too quick and wrong to judge. Family is the first place this starts. You know you being the blacksheep and all. Then one day the family has some sore of revelation....your not the bad one? So much effort and energy was put into this thought that they never saw the real person. Kinda funny! Sometimes people mistake self preservation for something bad or wrong. I'll gladly be the "blacksheep"!

Ever think...how peeps can throw a stone while living in a glass house??????????

Sha'Ra — Sat, 12 May 2007 03:18:54 GMT

Just a question???????? How can one cast a stone at another while living in a glass house? This is something I really don't understand? Can someone let me in on this? Aren't we all built basicaly the same? Don't we all have basically the same traits? Aren't we all striving for the same thing, to be happy and love one another? That is what I have been lead to believe. I think NOT! I have seen too much and heard way more from loads of peeps. Some feel the need to attack and cast stones while living in a very fragile house that could fall to bits at ANYTIME! Family isn't alway the best to trust. I think we should all remember the past and learn from it. :) Hmmmm....Deep thoughts by: Sha'

Anyone ever been the "black sheep" of the faimly?

Sha'Ra — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 02:44:36 GMT

Ya see, I have been know as the "black sheep" of the family. This is due to the fact that I say what I mean and mean what I say! If you say you will take care of something for someone then you better do it! I tell it how it is. I see things black and white to an extent. If you wrong then you are wrong! I have always tried to do the "right" thing by my family and friends. I have sat back and realized there aren't that many peep's out there like this. Most people get what they can when they can from most. This has been my observation. I am a geology/geography major that spent 3 years prior in study to be a psychologist. I realized you can't fix your family and quickly ran from that field! I have 4 brothers and I am the only female of the family. I have been to hell and almost back this year only to put up with more BS from family! Be true to who you really are and say what you mean and mean what you say in this and any other life! Not always is this rewarding...no, in fact........................you get kicked in the teeth by people who say they are friends and who are family? Go figure? Why are people so very all about them selves? If anyone has an answer I would really love to have and explaination. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes being the black sheep of the fam doesn't pay.........

Sha'Ra — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 22:18:22 GMT

What I mean is......they still want to drag you into the crap! Loads of shit hitting all at one time! All sides of the family. Always remember......distance is the best way to go! How about India or the south pole? Sounds good to me. Are there telephones there? Hope not! Anyway, stay away from the negative crap and keep on movin forward or at least just float for a while.
Love, hugs and energy

The Madness Begins

John — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 02:26:10 GMT

We just finished our first pack, heading to the freight company tomorrow to get them headed up to Miami. Lots of work, well watching those people work so hard wore my ass out. Lee and I got hands on and were tossing boxes and showing our folks on the farm how we wanted everything cut, cleaned, and packed. Lot of work finally coming to fruition, pretty damn tired, but wanted to share with the other blacksheep. Check out the new pictures under my photos to see today's packing live from the farm.

Sha'Ra — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 15:02:07 GMT

Day 2 of the great Pruitt smoke out! No longer shaking just not sleeping. Very confused and tired! The brain is really affected badly by smoking. I am never going back to it again!
Those of you I haven't spoken with recently.....I am in a bad way for the next few days. Cathy told me it would be real bad, but here we are. Thanks for all the support guys! Remember, I really sucks and it will continue to suck until it doesn't suck any longer! That's the deal on this end. Now, off for some sleep (maybe). Benadrly here I come!

Just a note to all....

Sha'Ra — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 18:54:21 GMT

I love my Blacksheep so very much! Thanks for being there and loving me! I had an awesome night at decompression. I can't even describe it other than....Wow, what a glorious night. No sleep for the Burners! Kickball with rolls of toilette paper soaked in fuel and set a blaze. Hell yeah! Never have I ever seen something so cool in my life! What a wonderful experience! I am so happy to have met many more bad ass people (friends)! Thanks Cathy for taking and showing me the way! I love you so very much Sis! Are you two sisters? LOL! Seriously, what a night. The drive up was cool as well! We have been warned, way cool Cathy! I love you all!
Hugs and many kisses,
Shannon

MY FELLOW HUMANS

KRAFTY — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 15:19:36 GMT

what kind of world would it be if everyone was the same.a world without independent thought,beliefs,character etc......sounds boring to me.different peolple bring different thoughts,
insight and beliefs to everyones minds.Expanding knowledge and tolerance is the key to a beautiful world,so always keep an open mind and listen to what people have to say,you could learn something.everyone has something to bring to the table,even the Blacksheep

I am proud to be a Blacksheep!

Sha'Ra — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 21:22:27 GMT

Are you proud to be one too? This message is for us all Blacksheep in the world. Be loud and proud of our place in life. Often it is us the Blacksheep that make the critical changes in this world. Being a Blacksheep does not make us bad only unique to others. Our hearts are kind and full of love but not all can see this. I have been the Blacksheep of the family, school and social circles for years. I say....tuff if you don't like or understand us! I am proud of who we are!
