Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better looking than others… C.S. Lewis
Boycotting The State of The Union Address For Reasons #sotu
I normally watch the State Of The Union address that is given to a joint session of Congress and most importantly the American people. However I just can’t listen to anything said by the current president. He’s not doing anything to make America “great” and most of what he will say I can’t trust. I’m not alone in this. I’m sorry, I just can’t. So tonight I will watch two TV shows about super heroes who in a fictional way are making their world’s better and safer. So The Flash and Black Lightning is where my attention will be focused. They are two heroes I can get behind. I will monitor the speech from Twitter ironically. I try to have a open mind but I have my limits.
When One Door Closed, Another One Opened Eventually
Six years ago I was told the news I was being laid off from Olan Mills Portrait Studios Church Directory Division. It happened to a whole lot of other people in the company too. A layoff is an example of when one door closes eventually another one opens. Situations like this requires faith and patience even when things get tough. This is an example of everything working out for the better in time.
My Trip To The Dentist Today
My visit to the dentist was a experience. I think I was in the chair for about an hour and forty-five minutes give or take. He put in a temporary crown and I go back in three weeks for the permanent one. This reminded me of how much I am not a fan of going to the dentist, nothing personal against Dr. Floyd but I can’t think of anyone who likes going to have a drill or a hook or anything else sharp put in your mouth. For me there is no sticky food or snacks for awhile but I can adapt. Let’s hope I don’t have to go through this again anytime soon. If I ever have to get dentures I am going to just die…just die I tell you.
Rumor Has It That It’s #Monday
Hey there folks it’s Monday and we are back at the regular routine. I have had a good day at work so far. Trying to finish the month strong. I have an appointment to see about my broken tooth this afternoon so I hope it can be fixed soon. Let’s hope the rest of the day will be the best it can be.
A Boy Can Dream, Can’t He…
I would play bass guitar and wear shades.
