Advice We Give, But Never Use

Why is it easier to help other people out with their problems or situations then it is to help ourselves out? I've thought about it from time to time and for the life of me can't understand why I can give the best advice for people to do but yet (even when I could use the same advice) don't use it. Its so crazy.

I find it amazing that we are the advisers and problem solvers to everybody else and yet we rarely take our own advice.  I remember I always had a friend of mine always message me with women issues and I'd give him the perfect ways to go about it and with me I do the exact opposite.  Give him the best ideas on what to say and where to go but didn't use my own advise.

"Believe that?????"

Most of us are always looking for advice from the next person when we know damn well we have the answers in our own head.  I really think I'd listen to a stranger on the train that knows nothing of my situation rather than listen to the voice in my head that would give me better advice.

Can you agree with this concept?  I would think 8 out of every 10 people will agree with what I'm saying.  I'm amaze myself with the advice I give and yet so puzzling when I can apply that same advice in my life for the same situation I'm going through but instead rather be stuck on "Duuuuh".

"Go Figure"

To this day my best advice I give and not use is (telling my brother) to break your bills down weekly (or bi-weekly, according to when you get paid) and just pay a small portion of your bill each time you get paid instead of once a month.  (Example, your cell bill is $100 then pay $25 each week). But in this situation neither of us do so we're both losing out.

Is there advice that you would usually give people about a certain situation and not use it yourself?  Are you the 2 out of 10 people that actually use your advice???  How lucky you must be.  It's one thing to second guess your gut (even though that's always right), but to not take your own advice is crazy!!!!  Yet I keep doing it.  Ugh.  Hahahaha  <----  sometimes that's all you could do.

Thanks as always for reading.  See you next time and please feel free to comment and tell me what you think and if you do what I do and not take your own advice or if you actually do take your own advice.

After Life?

Do you ever think about it?  Seriously. I can't say I never have before, but for some reason though, I got to thinking about it recently after I had to put my dog to sleep.  Don't ask me why this was the time I decided to start thinking about it.  But I did.

As my mother and I said our goodbyes to him she kept saying "This is for the best, now you'll be with Sheba and Maggy" (his wife and kid, well the kid we kept) and it got me to thinking.  What really happens in the after life?

Ever since then I've been thinking it over.  When you die, what happens next? Do you go into heaven and meet (a) god?  Maybe meet up with people you haven't seen in awhile? Is that were you stay forever? Or do you get judged on how you lived life and then become reincarnated and live life again?  I'm serious though and I'm not even die hard religious either.

So what really happens in the after life?  I guess nobody alive will ever know. If it were up to me then I'd like to be reunited with family & friends I haven't seen in awhile, be able to spend time with them and then get judged, come back and do it all again.  But when you think about it, is it even possible. How could you reunite with your past family & friends if you don't enter the after life at the same time.  Don't mean to be all creepy, but it's just thinking.

I would hope I did good with this life and get reincarnated in order to do it again.  I wouldn't mind doing it over and over again until I got it right.  Who's to say there is a right and wrong way (crime life aside) to live life.  If you happened to live life good would you come back with a better opportunity? Same as if you lived a life of crime, lies would you come back as a pigeon?

That's about enough for now, but take it as food for thought.  What's your opinion on the After Life?  I can't be the only one that has thought about it.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment and I'll be back next time with some more thoughts from The World of NDENSUM!

My Love for Disliking Uggs (boots)

I know what you're saying, "Derek, why do you love to dislike Uggs?". It's simple, I just don't like how they look. I definitely don't like them after they've been rained on or when they have been worn out to the point they have creases and you're walking in them with a slant simply because one side of the heel is gone. How about when they are past dirty and you're still sporting them like if they were suppose to be grey instead of white. Now how many of you share the same feeling as you read this? I can't be the only one that has these feelings.... Can I???


Shall we get into what you ladies wear them with that makes no sense??? I'm sorry but from this guys perspective, Uggs worn with shorts/skirts is not a good look. If you're even wearing a skirt or shorts you don't have any reason wearing Uggs to begin with because that means it's no longer cold outside. Wearing them would have your feet sweating (at least I would think) and I'm sure taking them off would be funky. I'll go on a hunch and say I don't even think the lady who first did it (Paris Hilton) actually thought it looked good but I'm sure she got paid good money for it. (I don't know that for sure, but I don't think there's a lot of things she does that doesn't result in a check).


Some Uggs should have never gotten past the drawing board which makes me question the people that approved them to go forward. But then again I'm sure they were like "ahhhh, let's make them, somebody will wear them".



Hey, I understand that they are comfortable, they have to be if you'll still wear them in public and also pay as much as you do for them. I at least give props to the ladies who buy the real thing because they actually have no name brand Uggs (and that's even worse). But if you're going to continue wearing Uggs, may I suggest:

-Not in warm weather
-Keep them clean
-Do not fold the tops of them so the inside shows
-Not when they have permanent creases in them

(None of these are appealing to the eye!)

Before I sign off I'll leave you with a couple of comments from friends (men and women) on the feelings about this subject:

-"they are like giant "in the house" slippers and should not be worn outdoors. I don't own a pair and doubt I ever will. I can seriously find better ways to spend $150 or whatever they cost.. lol"

-"Uggz are already ugly and even worse when folded. When will women stop wearing them? I can't wait till they get played out."

-"UHHHGS is right! People here in the states wear them as if they were high fashion or something; meanwhile in Australia, where they were invented, wear them to take out the garbage and wouldn't be caught dead in polite society with them on. "

-"I think they are the ugliest boot invented in the world. Thick chicks & short chicks should not be wearing them. Spread out cankle Santa clause looking feet. No sexiness whatsoever UGH is perfect for UGG"

-"the best is that down here it's 80 degrees, hot as heck and these girls have on shorts and these winter boots..sweating their feet off...I am sure they stink by the time they remove them! It's nasty:-)"

I hope I haven't offended any of you Uggs supporters. The pictures viewed on this blog is not in anyway to embarrass the person in the pic, but serve as a visual. This is it for now, I'll edit this as time goes on but I felt it was important to get the reason out to why I don't like Uggs. Those that friend me on Facebook know that I have an album called Uuuuughs.... and so this should give more insight to why that exists.

Until next time, feel free to comment, share this with your friends, take a peek at my previous blogs and thanks again for the read.
