Doing More With Less Since 1972
I’m reasonably smart. One thing I’ve figured out is not everybody has to be a “goal oriented” person to be successful.
I just like to practice, play, and get better at stuff that’s hard. I don’t need to win. I don’t need to be the best. I don’t need to be in charge.
For the most part, results have taken care of themselves.
And I’m happy–the pinnacle of success.
Funny how the thing that draws you into something is oftentimes not the thing that makes you ultimately commit to it for the long haul.
I’m not just talking about jiu jitsu.
Heard from a preacher man…
“God has a plan, and he has a universe. You may think you have a better plan…
But you don’t have a universe.”
I just had the realization that I’m a lot like a dog that was bred for work. If I’m tasked with something difficult that requires my full attention and skill set, I’ll be happy and effective. Bonus if it’s a task that requires me to grow my skills.
But if I don’t have that job to do, I can be pretty dang annoying.
I heard Cisco’s CEO talking about the need for STEM in education going forward.
While we’re giving lip service to focusing on STEM in our education systems, can we have a discussion about reading comprehension skills?
From my small sampling, a lot of the people who are already good at STEM were absent that day in school.
How to make sure your ideas DON’T win:
Here’s how you get to be a tough old man in two easy steps.
The second one will take care of itself, if you’re lucky.
So just focus on the first one.
This isn’t so much a political thought as it is a sociological one. I think the best thing that could happen in 2022 would be for Joe Rogan to come out and say, “I endorse no one. Instead, I think everyone should vote for a candidate that doesn’t have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ beside their name.” That would give these two major parties the wake up call they need along with plenty of time to get their ships straight before they throw joke candidates at us (again).
At this point, the only factor that keeps me from jumping from YouTube music to Spotify is the commercial-free YouTube. Google is just pouring on the censorship, and I cannot abide.
If you’ve ever voted for someone based on their ability to find political solutions to things like global health issues, please reach out to me.
I have a EXCITING and EXCLUSIVE investment opportunity you may want to learn more about. But hurry–time is limited!

Wonderin’ why I don’t stop

I wish I had a hot cup of coffee, two over-easy eggs, a 2x serving of hash browns and a couple of pieces of toast for every time this happened to me.
Who is this jerk and why is he trying to put limits on me and convince me I can’t do things?
Pay no attention to what he writes.
I support the right for individuals to own property without having it confiscated by the state and given to another individual, regardless of the sexual orientation of either party. #kelo #doma

Today I’m remembering a guy I used to know back in the day who was trying to make it big in the music business. I got the impression he viewed himself as a sort of John Mellencamp of our generation. The only problem is that he didn’t have Mellencamp’s song writing abilities and didn’t sing.
And he wasn’t a real good dancer.
Aside from those things, he was exactly like Mellencamp.
Basically, a chain-smoking jerk.
