My ideas are like the universe; not only do I constantly have new ones every day, but their rate of expansion is actually increasing. Action taken on one item spawns three new ideas, sometimes the result of completing that first idea, sometimes unrelated. But either way, the more I do, the longer the to-do list becomes.
I’ve accepted that. It’s not about being “finished” with “everything.” That’s not going to happen. It’s about accomplishing something, enjoying the process of creation and then taking a break to properly rest for the next day’s accomplishments. I can take breaks, but I’ll never be done.
Constantly increasing rate of expansion.
The federal budget seems to be the same way. Expanding and expanding, quicker and quicker. Do you think we should throttle back?
No!!
Spend more and more every year. Throw some new stuff in there. Those tea party people weren’t serious. Keep on spending and spending. Crony capitalism and taxing and spending. Not many seem to want to stop it.
What about raising the minimum wage for business owners? For the self-employed.
Who’s going to make sure I get my $10.10 an hour? Or $15 an hour. Even better.
I’m typing now; I’m on the clock.
Do you realize there are a lot of business owners pouring a ton of time and effort into their projects, and some of them actually lose money! Many do not take a certain amount of U.S. cash money for every hour they spend on their businesses. They are heartless lawbreakers, and someone should require they pay themselves $15 an hour.
Edward Snowden for president!
Really, watch his interview, read what’s going on. He’ll probably say such things as “I don’t want to be president,” but that’s the sort of person who should be president.
What? He’s only 30. OK, then, not for this upcoming election, but the following one.
2020 is just around the corner. That should be plenty of time to see justice served in his case and for him to come back into his country and be recognized as the compassionate champion of liberty and the leader of a generation that he is.
In the meantime, Hank III in 2016!
Maybe Colbert will take his campaign efforts a little more seriously. He’d win.
Anyway, I have decided recently—and this may be a permanent policy change—that I will not involve myself in stress, emergencies or problems. It’s going pretty well. If you have stress, emergencies or problems, stay away.
If you need a solution, that’s OK. I’ll happily be part of the solution. But remember, I don’t do problems, I do solutions. I will do my best to help, but I will choose to be at peace, no matter how much of the “stress” that is accepted as part of our culture is thrown at me.
I’m alive!
Peace,
