The trip is over and I am home. This was a fun but short trip. Driving around the Atlanta, Georgia area is not fun but we made it. I will give you some reflections on the weekend tomorrow. I hope you are all well!
Support Local Food On The Road
When you are on vacation support local restaurants when you can. There are great places to eat in many vacation locations and you get a great deal too. Get on Yelp or Google and you can find some great places. There might be some good deals on Groupon too. The one thing about eating local you can experience something new and you contribute to the local economy. Eat well, eat local.
Status Update
I am on vacation as of now, well actually 4:30 yesterday when I left work. It will be nice to get away. Of course I will be blogging along the way. I hope your day is going well.
What The Internet Says
Like you I believe everything the Internet says…well almost everything. There are three sides to any story as you may know. Two people can have two different views on something and then there is what the Internet says.
In this era of discrediting what the media says and “fake news” it’s really hard to figure out what and whom is right. Too many times good old-fashioned gossip means facts are distorted or even turned into lies. Classic rock group The Doobie Brothers sing a song “What A Fool Believes” and sometimes we are the fool and other times others play the role of a fool. What we accept as truth is sometimes a reflection on our life experiences and education
I believe that much of what you see online is opinion, like this post you are reading now. Sharing opinions is a freedom many enjoy but speaking truth does require more of a challenge. People will believe whatever makes them comfortable even though it might not be so right.
Of course its a trusted source thing. Where do you get your information from. Not every source comes from an agenda but a desire to offer perspective from a human place. So we have to determine what our values are and what to believe. There is value in what the Internet says. I would say in more ways it’s on point but there are other times it gets things wrong.
Something About Being Bland
I am very tame compared to many bloggers I encounter. My story is one of playing it safe and being a good guy. Frankly I am more bland than anything. There is a saying that good guys finish last, well I haven’t finished last but I am a person who hasn’t always been the most popular person.
I don’t have a best friend who is a non-relative, nor do I have a squad that goes everywhere and does everything. Perhaps there is a time in life when you just settle down and live your life in a way that isn’t all about not being bored. Trust me being bored is a good thing sometimes. Staying still is OK. Being at ease and at peace in your life means that you have been there and done that or you aren’t interested in keeping up with the Joneses.
The key thing is that you need to be yourself and hope those who see you as genuine will gravitate to you. Some of them will be fabulous while some will be chill. As I said in an earlier post having a nerd/geek/dork in your life will make life better.
