I’ve been in Louisville, KY for ten years now. TEN stinking years! That’s a decade of my life, a prime decade mind you, Humans aren’t allocated many of those on this Earth. And I’ve wasted spent those years trying hard to build a life here. Let’s take a look at how that’s gone for me:……
Category: Personal
Thoughts, events and news about me. Probably the least-used category, hopefully.
How to Win. Every Time.
I fear nothing. There’s nothing I’m afraid of.∗ I have some worries, but worries can be fixed with time and smarts. That allows me to approach danger bravely and retreat wisely when necessary to return when I’m able to eliminate the danger. And then move forward as planned. There will always be obstacles. If you……
An Open Book
I live my life as an open book. This is what it’s like.
Self-Discipline, Honor and Integrity
Honor, integrity, and self-discipline are traits that we should all strive for and strive to instill in our children.
Moving
As I sat to write this, The String Cheese Incident began singing the Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place(Naive Melody).” Apropos. https://youtu.be/Jc-cZlcW1iw I abhor moving. There’s no undertaking I like less, period. Although I’ve never been catheterized(Thanks be to God), I would rather be catheterized with a cactus than move. Yet here I go……
It’s Not What You Know; It’s Who You Know
“It’s not what you know it’s who you know.” We’ve all heard this saying, and I’ve heard it as much as anyone growing up. At times I took it to heart, which was a mistake. And it goes back to my words of advice on life about being careful about who you take advice from.……
Strange Days are These
With the Coronavirus keeping people shut in their houses and social distancing, quarantining themselves and self-isolating, it provides a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on productive activities elsewhere, and with people that we may not be able to spend time with. I can check both of those boxes, and on top of……
Do Yourself a Solid
“Doing a solid” was a national catchphrase that went, thankfully, as quickly as it came. Middle America likes to adopt specific phrases and gestures and latch onto them as if they make the walking cliche’ using the fad in public unique in some way, or suddenly “cool” even though it’s been used already millions of……
Learn When to Take Advice
Life Lesson…what number are we on? Another valuable life lesson I’ve learned the hard way is when to take guidance from someone. And just as relevant, if not more so, is WHOM to take advice from. In light of this post being about when to take advice and from whom, I thought a post-script prologue was due since……
Oh The Places You’ll Go!
It’s time to talk about the places I’ve lived because I’ve moved around a lot. I’ve lived in a lot of places, in different states and stayed for a long time in a lot of places people don’t typically get to go. Most of them are places people dream of living in. So in……
