The goodness about writing is the work and struggle to write something from your heart and head. Be original, not artificial. Whether you write with a pen or a keyboard, do the work and have fun.

Today is Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It has been traditionally a fight to the death for the best deals and bargains. There is fun to see what people have been able to get at the stores. With Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the like, Black Friday seems to have lost a little of its popularity.
But there is nothing like getting out and fighting crowds for some instant gratification. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase to get what they want. I hope the odds were ever in your favor if you went out this morning.

Just in case you didn’t realize, I am a weirdo. Yep, 100%. Maybe each of us is weird in our own way. One thing about being weird is the things in life that makes one happy. Sometimes being weird means that finding people who share in your weirdness isn’t easy. I don’t think being weird is a choice, it’s how you are wired, it is core to who you are.
My friends, embrace what makes you different. It’s OK to march to the beat of a different drummer. I have found that weird things, media, people, and other stuff helps me cope with this world we live in.
I think more places need weird, quirky, unconventional, artistic people to make it better. Not being tied to the way others think is freedom. It’s about being authentic and not hiding things in a bushel.
To my fellow weirdos, I am with you. We are kin. We are community.
I wish more billionaires were advocating for the little guy, than trying to cozy up to the corruption of power in high offices. The world could be a better place. But money makes the world go round, and many suffer as the rich get richer and the poor fall further behind.
