No mountain high...right? Pt.1

The greatest most stressful wonderful annoying time of your life. Some good a lot of bad and that is just the tip of the ice burg.

Rather one thinks so or not there is a lot of good that can come from a long distance relationship. You have the building and formation of trust which is major in relationships. You have your own space to do you and not feel chained down (even though at most times you still feel this chained down feeling but it sounds good). And obviously the person you care for still wants to try and work things out no matter how far you are and that right there deserves a hand clap on its own *clap clap* so you see good is there HOWEVER, to be honest there is so much more bad that comes a long with trying to keep a functioning relationship when u cant see a person for months at a time. And every body knows the main reason why... CHEATING! Nobody wants to play the fool. With so much temptation in the world how could one expect their partner to play blind to the fact that their are so many people of the opposite sex running around not caring who you are with and why. Not to mention your so called "friends" who are telling you "you really think they out there being good and faithful to you" it's enough to make you want to lock your self in a room stay away from everyone a hope that your significant other is doing the something! The stress an worry of your partners every move is enough for me to make my next statement which is.. If someone was to ask me if I would recommend they try to be in a long distance relationship with somebody my answer would be NO NO NO NO!

The bottom line is if you are in a long distance relationship then you probably really care about the person you are with or else you wouldn't do it. But unless you guys are ready to go through some terrible times and really be tested till your breaking point I suggest you just keep it cool, stay in contact with that person (which is not hard in this social network world we live in) and maybe try things when your actually able to enjoy ones company.

Lots more to come on this subject but till then Be Blessed..signing out -Cartel

Life and Times of Ashley J ...

So recently I decided that maybe it's time for me to try out this blogging thing. As a recent college grad trying to negate my way through the business world without going entirely mad, I found I had a lot to say. But, this blog is going to be more than your run of the mill blog. On here I plan to touch on subjects such as my struggles to break into the sports industry and pop culture as a whole. I love music, I love sports and have a lot to say and don't too much care for what others have to say. So sit back and relax and be prepared to be entertained or at least humored by what I have to say... Welcome to the life and times of Ashley J smooches :-*

It is settled...

The Beginning

Greetings world and welcome to my first official blog. I will be going by the name of ______ which means its undetermined . Truth is I haven't given much thought into it but I figured I need a cool nickname to go along with the amazing things I'm going to be talking about on my blog. Right? Anywho my post will range from a number of things so really nothing is safe . Whenever I feel the need I will be ranting on about what's on my mind . For those of you that know me understand many things irk me and I'm not a huge fan of people at all . Which is why I decide to dump my twitter (formally known as @GQsmoove_) and pick up this blog. I'm not sure if this is much different but twitter was becoming to much for me to handle. Between seeing the same message from all 200 of my followers and seeing things on on my timeline I would rather not from people I thought so much more of (yes you) I decided it was time for it to go. I will definitely be touching on the twitter subject again however this is only my first blog so I don't want to dive in head first just yet but trust me Trust me TRUST ME! your going to want to stick around because there is a lot of entertainment, fun, and controversy to be discussed and I won't be afraid to go there ..
