Today is already a day I’d like to restart. Tuesdays are really sucky if you ask me.

Thought Of The Day 08012022

Sometimes the happy little party in your head needs to break out into the crazy world you live in. Everyone should enjoy that stuff between your ears sometimes. Enjoy the cerebral celebration.

MTV 41 Years Old, Wow!

MTV is an American cable channel that launched on August 1, 1981.

The fact it’s been 41 years ago makes me feel a certain way. I’m going to say it was better back in my day when it was about music videos and culture. Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Madonna, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Whitney Houston, Pat Benatar, and so many more influenced the hearts and minds of so many youths.

Happy Birthday, MTV.

Welcome August 2022

Hello friend it’s August and practically the Summer is beginning to wind down as folks head back to school and the like. Here on the first day of the month where I live much needed rain fell. I hope it cools things down a bit.

Let’s see what it has in store for us. Hopefully good stuff. Have a great day good people.

Sunday Reflection – Bonus Edition

Everyone has their own views and opinions. I know I do. Understanding those differences comes from having conversations and establishing dialogue. In every family, there will be disagreements even among people who you love. I am a very black or white sort of person.

I do know I need to be more grayscale because that is where others are. You can appreciate others in the gray but it’s harder when it’s an either-or situation. Everything from politics to religion to sports to science fiction is deeply personal and moderating that passion can be good for everyone.

I need to work on this stuff. Life could be better if I do. Work requires being uncomfortable and a little conflict. Let’s see what happens.

This is something I must remember and strive for. It won’t be easy.
