LOVE.......

Well......since it is Valentine's Day I feel this urge to write about it. I don't know why, maybe it's all the sappy love movies and commerical's on TV today. One of my all time favorite love verses if from I Corinthians Chapter 13, every time I hear that I get weepy eyed. Yes, there is a caring side to the Baldo!

Love can be many things it can come in any shape or size, so why do we as a culture have to make a big deal about it. Why do we have to buy each other candy, cards and flowers. No this isn't the single girl in me trying to make myself feel better. I have been in relationships on this day, and I always told him, I wanted him to get me something that was personal. Only one got it (so far) he was the best, our first Valentine's day he didn't buy me flowers or a bunch of candy I didn't want. Instead he took me to dinner at the place where we had our first date, and he put together a basket with things I liked. There was stuffed animals and a plush rose, and a gift card to Bath and Body. I loved it cause he thought of me, and didn't get some generic gift. Either way he was great, he would do this throughout the year. Example, I crave chocolate every now and then, and he knew that I loved Fifth Ave candy bars. So....he would buy some and put them in the fridge for me, that way when I wanted them they were there. He made everyday Valentine's day. He would send me a email to let me know he was thinking of me, or a text. There was not a day that didn't go bye that he didn't let me know he loved me. He was my Soul Mate!!!!! When I meet him I didn't think, that something like that was possible. I loved him so much and he will always hold a special place in my heart.



The other kind of love I'm think about is the love I have for my child. I love him so much that I don't know what life was like before him. I mean I know, but I would want to go back. Sure, I miss being able to do what I want at the drop of a hat, but to not have my little man well I wouldn't know what to do with myself. If he's gone for more than a day I miss hearing him. I miss everything, but then twenty minutes after his return, I forget those thing. hehehehehehehehe! Either way the love of a child is one of the best kinds of love on earth.



Then finally, although this should have been first there is the love God gives us. His love he tells us throughout the bible, the best part about his love is that it's never ending. I know in good and bad he's there for me, my God is always there to hold me and he doesn't need a day to show me how much he loves me. He shows me everyday, in every way!!



Well there are my thoughts on Love, oh I know there are many more, but those are the ones that stick out in my mind today.

Writer becomes the story.......

Well today it was reported by many Grand Rapids local TV stations,papers and of course the Internet was buzzing with it (no pun intended).That Sports writer David Mayo faces felony drug charges, for intent to distribute, and a misdemeanor for maintaining a drug house. Now I'm sure most of you are wondering why would this interest me, well let's just say it's a Baldoism moment. I'm not going into deals how it's a Baldoism moment so, please feel free to let the mind run wild with all kinds of tales.

First off, let me state I didn't know him as a grower or a seller. I knew him as a smart man, which makes me wonder how could someone so smart be so stupid. I mean he had what appeared to be a great life, a well respected sports writer. VP of a boxing league, what would make him think that maintaining a drug house was a good Idea? Also, does he really think with what was found, in the house the DA will buy the story it was all for personal use? If that is the case, then DANG someone has a bad habit and might want to consider counseling. I'm not judging, that is the last thing I'm doing. I'm more amused at the whole situation that a 48 yr old grown man could be so dumb. I mean really, destroying your whole career, along with your reputation is was worth maintaining a drug house. Well the wheels of Justice have been set into motion for Mr. Mayo, it is not for me or anyone else to decide what will happen to him. Only the judge or a jury of his peers can decide that now. I will be following this closely. I will post some links as well for you to read more of the story enjoy, because I know I did.

Baldoism 101

I would dare to say that when most of you found the blog or strated reading you thought what is Baldoisms. Well you will learn about that, and please feel free to incorparte them into your life. I don't own rights to this stuff. Most of it is stuff I have either made up or have learned along the way.

First rule of baldoism is:

It can happen anywhere at any time and you must always be open to it. You can't create a Baldoism moment they just happen. Example you go out with you friends and turn to one and say "let's create a Baldoism moment" SORRY THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!! YOU FAIL!!!!

Great example of a Baldoism moment:

When I was in 8th grade my teacher took us to the library to do research for a paper. While I was going through this stage where I would flap my arms and run around saying "I can fly, I can fly" Well this day I choose to take my flying to a whole norther level. While in the library I was doing my great act to impress my classmates, and then it happened. I feel flat on my face, right in the middle of my greatest routine. I was embarrassed and wanted to run and hide, but not the GREAT BALDO. I rose like a phoenix from the ashes and laughed right along with the rest of the class. I mean it was funny and why should I cry? Looking back I still laugh, the best part was that night at home as I was reading the funny's I saw my favorite cartoon character do the same thing. Just so you get a better understanding of how funny it was the character was Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. Then the next day at school one of my friends must have seen the same cartoon cause it was tapped to my locker. To this day my oldest friend, for 20years still talk about that moment, which is why it's a BALDOISM MOMENT!!!

So I hope you understand rule one. If not reread till you do. See you next class! Oh and I don't mark down for not attending the only thing you lose is, what it Baldoism.

How it starts....

Well it starts with me creating the blog, and posting my views interest in life. Okay with that said, lets move on.

I had a unexpected moment at work, meaning what happened to me doesn't happen. I have been single for over a year now, which has been my choice, for those of you who know me, know why. If you don't know me and wondering why well feel free to let you imagination run wild.

Okay back to my out of the blue moment, long story short one of my fellow co-workers introduced me to his little brother. Who by the way was cute and we were had a vibe going. I know you know what I'm talking about. Then out of now where, another co-worker comes up and interrupts to tell a story she just had to tell. Bless her heart, I know she was unaware of what was going on, and the vibe that was out there. Well needless to say this guy and I had to put our flirting on hold. I'm hoping he makes another appearance at my work. I think my odds might be good, but if not then hey it was what it was a brief encounter with a fellow co-workers cute, nice, and employed younger brother.

I can say that this encounter gives me hope that I will date again, and it also showed me I'm ready. I know that I have a ways to go, meaning I'm always a work in progress.

The irony of this as I'm writing this is Dr. Phil is doing a show on what's wrong with men. LOL!!!!! I can't make this up! I'm not taking that as a bad sign.
