Winter 'depression'.. it's dark but all is not lost! ~ CarolinaWare's own: The WareHouse

Winter 'depression'.. it's dark but all is not lost!

I'm one of the many who suffer a bit once the clocks 'fall back' and the daylight gets a little scarce. It's not TOO BAD but it does happen. Some call it 'winter depression'. Some call it other things. I call it...

It sucks.

Now, ALL DOESN'T SUCK ABOUT THIS TIME PERIOD. I just thought I'd address that part first.

I don't 'love' the holidays but I do LIKE THEM. I don't look in envy at others at what they have. I have my own little things I do around this time of the year. I will go out and visit folks. Covid/Flu might still have me a bit cautious but I'll go out.

Those that really know me know that this is the time of year of my favorite sport.

Basketball.

Been going to ALL THE GAMES. All the scrimmages. All the practices. The season already started for college, NBA and such but now the high school season is upon us. I get to see my babygirl play.

You might see me out because I don't miss her games. I probably don't look real happy because I'm a focused parent but I promise I wouldn't miss it for the World. (And haven't.. ask around. lol) The other kids love the support too. Everyone can't make these games. I can. So I make sure I support them too and that I'm not one of those crazy parents in the crowd.

When my last kid is done wtih playing ball, I'll be involved with it on the other side but now? I'm just enjoying the ride. All the 5 am practices are paying off. We don't have to do those anymore. We can just go to regular practice, some training EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE and go live LIFE.

The kid is excited and focused. Grades are great. Head of her shop in school. She's got options baby! (That won't be the last time you see me type that about her. I promise.) Super proud of that kid man. She just doesn't know how proud.

So yeah it gets dark and I 'think' I don't want to go anywhere. Then, I see the schedule, not just for her games but other games and out the door we go.

We do ride to see 'the lights' and stuff too. I don't post much about that. I don't post much about family dinners either but those happen. Might even slip to some warm weather to escape some of this cold in the middle of all the 'seasonal depression' period. We'll see.

December 21st STILL can't get here fast enough. The days get 'longer' with each passing day after that. Weeks after, when the games are still going on, the daylight last longer and longer. I can't wait.

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

Pictures/Women. I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

UPDATE: The Internet World has evolved. I will leave the disclaimer up however as most of you know, press is press to most people.

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
