MANNERS
I feel a mini-rant coming on… I hate ill-mannered people. Hate is a strong word, but its cause I lack the vocabulary to properly and articulately emanate my visceral contempt for those that lack manners. There is an expression that “good manners cost nothing,” so the usual broke people excuses hold no weight there. Manners […]
WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR KIDS
So the new appointed US Attorney General has just been caught lying under oath during his confirmation hearings… and you expect me to ever tell anyone in “authority” the truth…ever… yeah…ok The Attorney General of the United States is the head of the country’s Department Of Justice (DOJ). In effect he is the head law […]
CARNIVAL IN GERMANY
I have a great deal more empathy for those unwitting Caucasian tourists who happen upon South Beach during Memorial Day Weekend. I ended up in Germany during their Carnival festivities recently and the sight of thousands of really inebriated German teens and twenty somethings marching, signing loudly and hold mostly empty 40’s was interesting to […]
STICK TO THE PLAN
Recently I wrote an article titled “Plans Are Made To Be Broken.” If you did not see the piece, by all means go back and read it. The quick summary is essentially that life causes us to have to re-mix, amend and break even the best laid plans. The many circumstances outside of our control […]
RUSHING
Yesterday’s post was done in a rush. I was about to catch a 10 hour flight and ended up writing it in the airport prior to my departure. My time management skills have definitely improved over the years, but my level of efficiency and balancing deadlines with priorities and importance is still challenged from time […]
PLANS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN
As long as I can remember I have been a bit of a planner. There has never necessarily been any type of master plan, but as a serial entrepreneur, I have always tried to have some type of plan in place towards achieving goals. From long term plans that primarily get worked out in my […]
HOW WAS YOUR DAY
Why do I feel like I am one of the few people who asks the question “How is/was you day?” and actually is not only prepared to hear a real and honest answer, but genuinely looks forward to any discourse that results. Those that know me may be laughing at such a thought, with claims […]
KEEP THE FAITH
Keeping the faith in humanity. It is always easier said than done. If you own a television or have access to the Internet, negativity appears to be around every corner… at your door step… in your living room… eating your food and drinking your liquor. If you have not already given up on people in […]
PLAUSIBLE DENIAL
I am not the smartest guy in the world, but one thing I learned long ago is that someone cannot tell on you if no one knows your business I do not believe in confession, but the last time I told on myself was when I was 100% sure the Statute of Limitations had expired. […]
SOMETHING TO SAY
I was asked recently why I write. My immediate response was because I can’t sing… I mean this sardonic wit isn’t just going to write itself… I get asked the question, in some variation, often and most people are more inquisitive as to why I write so much and so often without apparently getting […]
