I don’t know what it is about certain things in this country, in the world, right now. It seems we’re more worried about what Justin Bieber is doing rather than how to fix our education crisis. If you look at a lot of the things our society is currently entertaining (like … [Read more...]
Opinions: Just a friendly reminder
Opinion: (noun) 1. A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. 2. The beliefs or views of a large number or majority of people about a particular thing. We all have opinions…about wine, beer, food, religion, education, politics, … [Read more...]
Blame people, not business
I wrote this back on 11-29-11 but I think it is still valid and my position remains the same: Russel Simmons was on Morning Joe on MSNBC this morning, and said that the OWS movement was not against big business or business in general, they just want the power back to the … [Read more...]
What Matters Vs. What Doesn’t
Do you ever think about how much time we spend devoted to things that don’t matter? I do…a lot. I think about how much time I spend watching television, thinking about or discussing other people, getting upset over shit that won’t matter in 10 minutes let alone 10 years, and how … [Read more...]
You and all your shiny carrots
You know what the problem with this world is…we take things entirely too seriously. I’m not suggesting that we give up on doing serious things but I am suggesting that we all take it down a notch. Politicians are so serious about protecting their livelihood, stock piling money, … [Read more...]

I believe in the impossible…because I am doing things that I once thought impossible. That pushed me to read and learn in order to come up with my philosophy on people, on me, and on what this world is for. Mind you, philosophy changes as new points of view, new facts, or new … [Read more...]
A community effort to find adjectives
Do we really need to have a meeting to find out what kind of traits and characteristics a Police Chief needs? Well, that’s what the city of Paso Robles did (the city I live in) just this past weekend. There was an open meeting in which anyone could attend and help describe the … [Read more...]
When we say goodbye we’re reminded to live
In the past week two people passed away…one of whom I had never met and one I had met only once, however, both of these people were extremely close to people that I know well. One of these people was 25 years old…his passing is way too early. A parent should never have to lay … [Read more...]
How do you calm down your crazy?
I pose the question more to get you to think about it rather than to specifically tell me. I’m curious just how many people either have not thought about it or know the answer but don’t put those calming things to work. For example…listening to Bob Marley, the Zac Brown Band, … [Read more...]
Are you grabbing the horns?
We have two choices in life: 1) Grab the bull by the horns or 2) Don’t. We can come up with all the excuses in the world to keep us from doing just about everything…but why? What purpose does this serve other than to make you obsolete? Why give the “excuses” legs to walk on? Why … [Read more...]
