Stop with the negativity – it’s a cancer that spreads and eventually kills any motivation to be a better person.
I’ve seen it firsthand, over the decades that I’ve been working with people. All it takes is one negative person to poison attitudes and murder kindness.
Take charge. Be that one person who offsets sour words with sweet alternatives. Present the other side of the coin – there are always two sides. Train the people around you to judge fairly and offer rational solutions.
Nothing good ever comes from giving up on something you want.
Confession: I’m not a big fan of Ted Nugent. I take what he says with a grain of salt, but I’ll be honest, this article sums up the whole Martin/Zimmerman incident pretty nicely, in my opinion.
The jury got it right, and non-racist America rejoices that there is still common sense, honesty and decency aware of identifying justice in this country. America also believes that the entire prosecutorial team should be ashamed of themselves and disbarred for ignoring the obvious and kowtowing to the pure racism that forced the politically correct lie that only black lives killed by non-blacks matter, which is why there are no headlines, no protests, no prosecutions and no Barak Obama or Eric Holder meddling in the nonstop black-on-black slaughter in their gun-free zone of Chicago.
Martin Luther King Jr. is rolling over in his grave that he sacrificed his life for the cause of judging people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin, as so many of his own race carry in in self-destructive behavior while professional race mongers blame everything on racism. It is painful and heartbreaking to say and write this, but horrifically it is true. Blacks kill more blacks in a weekend in Chicago than the evil, vile Ku Klux Klan idiots did in 50 years. Truly earth shattering insane. And not a peep from Obama or Holder. Tragic.
The only racism on that night was perpetrated by Trayvon Martin, and everybody knows it.
Here’s the lesson from all this, America: Teach your children to not attack people for no good reason whatsoever. Conduct yourself in a responsible, civil manner, and everything will be just fine. Try to kill someone and that someone just may be exercising his or her Second Amendment rights and you could get shot. It’s called self-defense, and it is the oldest, strongest and most righteous instinct and God-given right known to man.
I’m alive, still breathing. Still healthy. Still working at the same place.
Nothing dramatic has happened. No tragedy.
I just dropped off the face of the blog-o-sphere because I was BURNED OUT. I’ve been blogging for eight years now and I needed a break. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to say, (please, have you met me??), but that I simply didn’t have the mental energy to THINK anymore after I got off work.
I didn’t have a bread crumb to spare you folks. (Remember the “I don’t have a square to spare” line from Jerry Seinfeld? One of my favorites …)
Anyhoo – I’m back, feeling refreshed and ready to regurgitate my life onto your lap, how’s that for an attractive visual?
(Watch out! Honest blogger falling …)
I have so much to catch up on. Jazz graduated from high school, Kevin and I went to Colorado for a few days … okay, maybe those are the only two things that have really happened to us in the past four months.
I’m boring. Sue me.
So it’s time to catch up. I’m really going to try and vlog more. Just because it’s fun to watch past videos and laugh at my dorkiness.
Thanks to those that stuck around and welcome to any newcomers. Let’s trudge through life together, shall we?
Interesting segment on our local radio talk show this morning – it’s about a kid that walked ten miles, in the snow, to a Dairy Queen to try and get a job.
Kids don’t do that nowadays. Heck. Kids can’t see past their self-imposed bubbles nowadays.
I made the IT guy at work shorten my last name to just the first initial of my last name.
