Sons of Anarchy was killer tonight. Kurt Sutter is a hero of mine. What a gift, and i’m not in awe very often.
I don’t even know what to think about work today. Leadership is a balance between what is best for the goal, the ones you love and what is right, and truth is…. the reverse order is how it should be played. That is, if want anyone to show up at your funeral. Your loved ones will probably not be there if you havent been consistent in doing what is right. thats the bitch of it all.
I’ve Shown the video of alice coopers “only women bleed” more than a few times on this blog. I love my wife. lol, she has no sense of direction. She’s convinced that for the last 20 years she’s kept me clean and alive. I told her today after conceding that point and helping her navigate the lunch route that she’d be lost without me. We both laughed and neither of us denied. She does keep me together.
I got so much to say. My old man used to say “I may be wrong sometimes, but I’m never in doubt”. Thats how I feel. he wasn’t that honest about being wrong sometimes. I’m not sure I do either.
I deleted my facebook account today. Partly because of the previous point, and partly because its a waste of time. I’m not sure what facebook is good for, and there’s something about a herd mentality that rubs me wrong. It’s also because I have this feeling of wanting to stir up the pot. Thats good for me, but going back to the funeral comment, it’s not going to win you any friends. Only pot-stirrers appreciate it, maybe because they recognize that in themselves. Wished there was a facebook for just us. Nevermind, that probably wouldn’t work.
Throw it out there. I read what you gotta say. Even if you think I’m full of shit 🙂
Good to see ya posting. Been away a few days from the computer. We had to put a dog down. Death is fucking sobering. leadership at work is tough. I supervise 10 employees. its a precariuos balance of giving them enough room to work and reeling them in when things go astray. I like you said above about "no doubt". I go with what I feel and then stay consistent. Everyone knows where Im coming from when I get after them. I give 8 for 8 every day. sometimes more. I expect the same. I bailed on facebook last year. I consider going back sometimes. I like the pages on rt 66, etc. The daily drama on there I can do without.
My wife lives on facebook and her I-Pad. I get too wrapped up in it like the time I jumped on you about the vegan joke.. I prefer blogs like yours. Better content.
Im really struggling with this oil thing. The last time they jacked up the oil I quit riding and started riding the bus and my bicycles. The RK gets 50 mpg so I can't really do any better at saving fuel. But it still pisses me off as I buy gas and line contribute to the billions the speculators are making. As an environmentalist I probably should just quit riding and practice what i preach. Hows life in the snow dude? I think mores coming this weekend.
Hey Bro,I think you're full of shit!But dammit,it's good shit.I really enjoy reading the things that you put out there.We are so like-minded,that sometimes it almost seems like you are writing my thoughts.I will miss your facebook,shit stirring for sure,but I enjoy your blogs much more,because here you lay it out there,no bullshit,no gray area,no question where you stand and no appologies needed.I dig that about you,the simple truth of it is,it is SIMPLY the truth,like it or not.Facebook is a serious time sucker,and I have been fading out of it a bit myself,most of the shit going on in that world is BS anyways,and I never really felt good about that little "what's on your mind" box,mainly because,only me,you and two or three other people could really handle the shit that's on my mind sometimes,and I'd rather share that with you over a shot and a beer anyway!Hey it's good to see your blog up and running again,it gives me food for thought,it makes me laugh,it makes me step out and take a look from a little different angle,it's just good shit…and you are full of it!
Stir the freaking pot!
