Strange but genuine question from my strange brain. It would be great with corn chips and milk.

Jo Cox, MP Of The United Kingdom Assassinated
Today in the UK a member of parliament was assassinated as she was going about the business of her country. Jo Cox, MP was doing what she was elected to do by her constituents and then her life was over. It reminds me of former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona who was shot during a meeting with her constituents. Giffords survived and has gone through months of rehabilitation. Cox was a rising star on the national scene in the UK but more importantly she was a wife and mom and human being. It appears she was murdered by an extremist which should put everyone on guard. I mourn for her family, friends and constituents. People should love people more than politics.
Just Me and The Mayor Hanging Out At Work
Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke came to make a blood donation today. I helped arrange his visit to Blood Assurance where he gave to save three lives. It was a thrill for for m to meet him at work. This was cool if you ask me.
Styx – “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)”
This song is a companion to my previous post. Why do men have to be angry?
I’m Not An Angry Old Guy
In case you didn’t know I’m a 46 year old white male. Some people who I share this demographic are angry about the world they live in. They are dealing with a lot of change and status in the world they haven’t adapted to. I get that but getting mad isn’t the answer.
I’ve chosen to live and love and adapt. The future has promise and challenge and possibility if you have the right attitude.
What makes me mad is the inequality, racism, sexism and hate that is so prevalent today. Why do we despite and detest those different from us. Are we so angry about what others have that we fail to see the opportunities in front of us. How long will be too long to realize we need to live and love with all our hearts and soul.
I’m a old guy who is embracing the future and being open to the changing world around us. It’s all good gang.
