Please forgive this selfish question.
God what a flippin glorious day, slow day of computer operation and coffee abuse. Come home to a manically hyper squad of kids, and a sick wife, gotta love it.
Tomorrow is hoop again, which is sweet in my imagination and book for that matter.
Did I mention I saw Borat? It is good, see it, I gotta check out Ricky Bobby, as Sacha is in that as well.
So last night I got to go ringing the bells at Walmart for charity, made some observations about people, looked like there were three types of people, those who donated, those who just walk by and keep their eyes averted, and those who smile and wish ringers a Merry Christmas, kind of wierd about the averted eye types, like they are ashamed, of something, but I am not sure what?
Last thought, I have this recurring thing I think about whenever corporate leadership changes, another school year passes, a load of people get on a plane and fly off somewhere, I am driving down a highway with everyother freak trying to get somewhere as fast as I can, we're all just like waves washing up on some beach, might move some sand, not a lot, probably not a noticeable amount to any passerby, but after 15000 waves of similar types and energy maybe we can make a noticeable difference. To me this speaks to the inability of individuals to influence, lead large meaningful changes, it takes a large concerted effort by many like minded peeps.
So, paradoxically, how does one person or small group make change so effectively? Is it preparation and opportunity coming together in a perfect storm? What about the person who realizes the opportunity and makes the most of it?
Pretty heavy I know, but whilst sitting in airports, this is where my little pea brain goes....
So, my football team made the playoffs, that's good, gotta play the god awful muthafuckinest hard team in the league, they got LaDainian and so I am a decided underdog.
Next post I think I'll talk about personal improvement and meaningful personal change, is it perception or can it truly happen?
PO MONTEEEEEEEE!
