Just because I am a nice guy, doesn't mean I plan on taking the "L"!

Good Wednesday to you All,

  The week is creeping along.....thank God!  As I meander through another day, I stop and take notice of the happenings.  I have old friends popping up to say "hello", new friends popping up to ask "what's going on" and prevaricators all around in the meanwhile.
Like the rap song goes....dust the dirt off your shoulders!  As I made it home unscathed (and tired after coaching track practice), I contemplate what I would blog about today.  In the middle of the shower (so fresh and so clean) I had the topic come to me....Just because I am a nice guy, doesn't mean I plan on taking the "L" (L= loss).

  I am a firm believer in the Golden Rule.  This rule states that you should treat others the way you would like to be treated.  Simply put, if you violate this rule, I may not hold it against you, but I will definitely remember the occurrence.I put a great deal of effort into the Universe in order to strive to become a better person everyday.  In my strivations (yeah, I made that word up), I am beginning to understand that you may have to let people go in order to move on.  It's not that you do not love them anymore, its just that after awhile, you are either taken for granted or only called when your needed. 
  It's fine, my love for my friends won't diminish, however, the selfless acts that everyone is accustomed to, will be opened to more scrutiny as it relates to how often I dole them out.  In short....refer back to my topic for today!  For today, 30 means = guy is still nice, but just not as nice as before!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Today's Topic: I'm a slave to my cellphone...there, I said it!

Good afternoon World,

I hope everyone has safely made it through their Monday.  (For me) This week is going to be filled with great times and hard work.  The interesting part is, that I am not sure if I am ready for it.  ....however, just like The Fugees sang, "ready or not, here I come, you cant hide.".  There is nothing to do but grip it and rip it.  Batter up!

While I am going full speed ahead, I notice that I do this obsessive patting of my pants leg.  As I go down the hall at work, I pat my pants leg.  As I sit down for lunch, I pat my pants leg....as I leave the bathroom, I pat my pants leg (...okay that last one was just solely for the purposes of drying my hands).  What am I patting about for?  Simple, the answer is that I am doing a phone check.  That's right, I am making sure that my phone is on my person. All day long, I automatically check to make sure that I'm not without my hand held laptop.  The last thing I want to do is leave it!

Sad part is that I was born in 1980.  I did not get used to having a cell phone with me until 1999!  For a period of 19 years, if I were out, then I was out.  My answering machine let me know who missed me...when I arrived home.  Now... let me leave my house without my phone, bet I am going right back home to retrieve my precious!  ...Hmmm I wonder, if it is really that convenient if I can't live without it?

I'm just saying!

Have a Splendiferous Monday!
