… especially when it involves people I know. There are times when I will step in and offer to assist in any way I can. But sometimes one just has to hang back and acknowledge that it (the floundering) is an essential part of the growing process. At least it was for me. Very early in my life I was encouraged (and required) to not only find solutions to challenges but to also act upon …
… has never really been a part of my day for a very long time. A cup of java doesn’t count. I’m talking about the full on breakfast with starch and grease here. I think the last regular period in which I actively partook in this daily ritual was perhaps when I was still in high school. Ever since I have been more prone to the brunch. Every once in a while I will… like …
Yesterday was chockful of activities. I was at the April FCASH meeting at 7:30 AM. Actually, I was presenting with Travis on the topic of using Twitter and Facebook for Non-Profits. I thought it went pretty well… Thanks Travis! Anyway, the reason I mentioned the above is that later in the day something struck me which I wish I could have articulated better. (It’s always hindsight, isn’t it?) It was on the concept of resetting …
“Yes we can… have a dream!” No, that’s not meant to sound cynical or snarky… though you can if you choose to take it that way. For a while now I have been convinced that my generation (has and) is living through a transition. It could probably be argued that the 20th century was and this 21st will be ones of major transition. “But doesn’t every age and century go through transition?” you may ask. …
So, I got an email today from YouTube about copyright infringement on a Plant and Page video I had on my channel. They asked me to either take it down or swap out the sound. (WTF?) Yeah, they had blocked out the sound. I took it down along with the other Plant and Page video I had up. Both were from concert footage. (Why should I have to put up with getting another email of …
With the sun being gone for a while (it finally appeared this morning) one (meaning moi) has had the tendency to curl up and hibernate. Trouble is listlessness leads to restlessness in me. Not that I’m one of those super high energy type people but I do like to be active. So, when I spied the sun peeking over the trees this morning I immediately put in a load of laundry. (Wow… Lecram… you do …
… we are going to experience this cold, overcast and foggy weather for yet another week in these here parts. I guess I’ll have to make up a schedule to dry clothes over at the laundromat then. A SECOND POST? Just because I posted late yesterday doesn’t mean I should deprive you of the usual number of weekly posts. (LOL… deprive? Yeah, right.) AS I WAS ON MY MORNING RIDE… … a memory struck me. …
Most of the time real life will do it for me. (Shocking, I know.) Just living everyday life and observing the going-on’s of others will provide enough stimulus to get my juices flowing. I still do the former (the alternative is a mite limiting to the creative process) but the latter element is somewhat limited with the sequestered life I currently live. Music has been used in the past too. OK, I still do but …
Looks like the Big NO has a new mayor. Looks like the nation has a new President. My thoughts? (Not that they matter. lol.) No matter one’s level of cynicism or disdain… I think we can all agree that this is historic. No doubt that word will be used over and over again for the weeks to come… and as sick as we become of it there is no denying it as fact. It was …
