Your thoughts in 140 charachters or less

Are we dumbing down? Is this the ADD persons dream? I'm starting to twitter and update my 140 charachter thoughts throughout the day and finding it fun and interesting that we can reduce ourselves to two/three sentences without thinking twice.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Last weekend I watched Jerry Maguire for the umpteenth time and I think my brain surgery caused some internal leaking. it seems that certain kinds of sappy moments just tear me up :-)

I'm secure enough in my manhood that it's ok for a grown man to cry!

There is a moment when Rod Tidwell the wide receiver that Jerry maguire charachter represents is knocked unconscious after a touchdown catch in a Monday night football game. Shots of the family. The wife and kids frantically trying to figure out if he's ok. Jerry is worried on the sideline. Doctors and trainers trying to revive him and then snap he gets up and does the touchdown dance after the game he is hugging and crying with jerry and eventually he gets his contract renewed and Jerry is on his way to getting his mojo back.

Well I feel like Rod Tidwell. I got knocked down and I got back up and its time to get the contract now. Only difference is it's not going to fall into my lap I have to go get it!

The Accidental Person

I've started reading a new book by Chris Lytle. " The Accidental Salesperson" Chris is in my network of people in LinkedIn and he hails from the Chicagoland area as well. I'm only a chapter into the book but kudos to Chris for writing a good one. Although I feel like I'm taking the book to the next level as I sometimes feel like "The Accidental Person". Life is too short to make excuses and life is too complicated to try to figure it all out in one lifetime. Of course in another book that I'm reading right now. (I'm reading three books at once!) The Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis and no the C is not for chris, although I have an affinity for my name all things don't have to start with Chris or C for that matter. Anyway, back to my train of thought. The screwtape letters are a series of letters from Screwtape to his minion Wormtongue. Screwtape and Wormtongue represent Demons who are working for the high(Low) Authority himself the Devil and he is trying to help his minion get his subject from leaning towards the enemy(God). I like it It's not an easy read but it makes you think about what is happening in the spirit world everyday!


I've been going around and asking people what inspires them and I may start posting some of the answers on the Blog. we shall see if they permit only.

My Brother turns 46 today! Yes he's old real old. I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this blog so it doesn't really matter!

I like this quote

"In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing."


Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)26th president of the United States


It seems we have become a nation, no! a global people of do nothings and the doers control the worlds mood. They are the terrorists, Entrepeneurs, CEO's, Teachers, Doctors, Scientists, Politicians, and our overall leaders. They drive their circle of influence as much as themselves sometimes. The followers seem to just follow. Stuck in the rut of someone elses shade. Lulled into a sense of security by their own insecurity. The better influencer you are the larger your circle is. Sometimes you are thrust into or elected into the post. Other times they seize the position by conniving or force. When you decide to break free from your bondage of inaction is when you finally break through that circle of fear that is our bubble of comfort. The shelter of inequities and broken self-esteem. Nobody can do it for you but you can be coerced, pushed, lifted, supported, and encouraged to take the steps necessary to embetter your life.

It all begins with one step....

The Future of Me?

I cannot predict the future and I don't play a psychic on TV. But I do ask myself (more than I thought I ever would). What is the future of me? I'm no philosopher either but I seem to philosophize, if that is even a word, more than I should. I guess what I'm asking myselfe, God, whoever wants to listen. Am I just protesting? or do I have a valid reason to question my destiny which at 39 am still unaware of its existence or purpose. Should I be content and just shut up. I have grown much in the past year. Wisdom caused by the frailty of life? Nearness of Death? what is next?

Proud of our not so little company
