I think it’s time for Hillary to drop out of the race, there really is not a great chance that she will win the nomination. Better to get support behind Obama than risk losing out in November to McCain. I’m not a huge fan of this drawn out process, I think a national primary is the way to go. What do I know? Apparently not enough.
I also have another idea. It is Cher cover band called Share. It’s probably already been done, but I think it would be awesome. Imagine “If I Could Turn Back Time” in my low register. Even better “Believe.” You gotta admit, that while it might not be the idea that makes me millions, it could very well be something that entertains millions. And that’s just as good in my opinion, so if anyone knows of guys who’d like to join me just give me a shout.
And life isn’t all about rainbows because there no such as indigo. It’s nature’s Santa Claus. Don’t believe the hype.
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that because we are in an economic downturn folks are unhappy. Or maybe it is because gas prices are at an all time high we can’t find a reason to smile. No, it has to be that the housing market is in the can, that’s why we frown on cue. Maybe if Britney Spears could erase the last 5 years of her life, we’d all find it easier to skip to work and hop home.
Perhaps we’ve forgotten how lucky we all are. Think hard about someone who died before their time, leaving their family and friends broken and questioning it all. I’m sure “gone too soon” soul would find a way to see the silver lining on every dark cloud. Think of someone who’s worse off than you, whether it be monetarily, emotionally, physically, or even intellectually (if you can evaluate that independently). Maybe if you were in their shoes you could justify your attitude. Look at what you have. List the things in your love that your truly love, if breathing, living, soul-filled things don’t fill that list, maybe that’s where your unhappiness stems from.
Of course this free write is filled with maybes, perhapses, and ifs. But that’s what a push is, its a thesis. Maybe we all need a happiness thesis that can drive us away from those folks and things that keeps us away from breezy stress less days and fun enjoyable nights.
An example from my own life that could work from time to time.
If I remember that the teams I support and the effort they put forth on the field or court are not a direct reflection on my abilities, then I will be able to let go of losses and celebrate the victories more appropriately.
In all honesty I just want to see more people nod their head as opposed to shake it. More people hum along than close their eyes. It’s so easy to look up and see gray clouds, but if you look out, there’s probably a light waiting for someone to see it shine.
Last night I brought a friend of mine to a party that a co-worker was hosting. It was essentially a college party, kegs, guys pissing everywhere, lots of noise, and a live band in the basement. I knew it might not have been her ideal scene, but she told me she wanted to go out, and I had promised to go to this particular party. We get there, find my friend and start talking. I am enjoying myself, but I am not sure she is. Kind of sulking off in the distance, isolating herself. This is where things get interesting, I go and talk to the girl my co-worker is seeing, not sure how seriously, but I know they are hanging out.
The girl tells my co-worker, in front of his quasi girlfriend, that he could do better. He’s pissed, the girl is understandably upset, and I’m left thinking “Holy shit, am I going to be in the middle of this.” My co-worker kicks the girl out of his party, I don’t leave to try to smooth things over, and its just a little, no a lot, awkward the rest of the night. I’m not upset with anyone, people can say whatever they want, I just am pissed that the night got tarnished. Looking forward to a good time, and that was wasted. I was wasted too, but it all works out in the end I guess.
Just, words. But man, it was obvious tonight. What you say and how you say it has a huge influence on how people think about you, and relate to you.
