"Getting Naked"

Through out this blog I have taken shots at people, situations, places, religion, marriage, politics and many more other topics.  I titled this the truth hurts to shed light on some things that really go on, but today I am going to turn this on myself.  Let me start with explaining what "getting naked," means.

It is not what you think.  When I first started my former carrer (that sounds weird) every week we had a meeting.  In this meeting we put our numbers up in front of our coworkers and our superiors.  Numbers included, appointments, sales, etc.  We closed the door and were free to crotique each other and basically tell you if you sucked and if you were pulling your weight.  There were no hard feelings but you found out if you were actually doing anything to better yourself.  With that being said I am about to "get naked" on my life.

I looked up the definition of 3 words before writing this blog and I am going to go over all 3.

The first word is "womanizer."  Here is the first definition I found.  "A man who likes many women and has short sexual relationships with them."  Well doesn't this suck?!  I fit that criteria but I am not proud of it.  Was there a point in my life when I was younger that I was proud of it and bragged to friends, sure.  This has come back to bite me in my ass and I have earned a reputation in small circles that I can't dodge.  To be clear I do not approach every woman with this mentality and was and still ready to give that lifestyle up but that is a different topic.  I am putting myself on blast but I am also going to defend myself a little and say at least I am honest and I don't get into a relationship and cheat.  The worst part about this is the fact if I meet someone who I want to be with I am going to be honest but I do not know if they could accept it.

Next word and topic "alcoholism."  "Continued excessive or compulsive use of alcoholic drinks."  Damn, damn, damn!  I am now 2 for 2 on these subjects.  That definition doesn't have anything to do with the fact that of wether you can stop or not.  It just says continued or compulsive use.  Something else that I am not proud of and when I really think about it and be honest with myself most bad things that have happened in my life alcohol was involved.  Everything from fights, DUI, almost getting killed, hurting people feelings that you care about, sleeping with people that I shouldn't, injuring myself, and the list goes on and on.  Not even going to defend myself on this one, my mistakes and I will man up to them.

Final word I looked up was "love."  "An object of attachment, devotion, or admiration."  I would be a lot better if I was 1 for 3 instead of 3 for 3.  Now I am thinking do I love womanizing?  No, once again it was fun for a point of my life but I met someone that made me want to give it up.  Do I love alcohol or alcoholism?  No again.  I have had a lot of fun while drinking with friends but I have had more fun when sober and actually experiencing life sober.  Do I love my family, true friends, my ambition, my drive?  Hell yeah I do.

Haha, thinking if when I am physically naked I looked like this I would be an ugly bastard.  The numbers don't lie and I see what I have to do.  I am sharing this with you all so feel free to critique me just like my coworkers use to in those meetings.  My numbers of 3 for 3 this week suck but I will update you in the followings weeks to check progress.  It's on...
