Time is an unstoppable force and a journey. If we are fortunate we have people who will walk with us in this life. Our lives are like a string that is sometimes straight, sometimes crooked, sometimes knotted. No matter what we must live as each day is our last. Be thankful for every minute we have. Hit a home run, hit a 3-pointer, and spike the ball of life. Do what you can to make your life and the lives of others special.

Six Word Story
Maturity, enthusiasm, and experience are invaluable.
Thought Of The Day – Republicans, They Can’t Lead
Right now Republicans are incompetent and incapable of leadership as long as they bow down to Donald Trump and his base. They are not serious people who want to do what is best for the country. It’s frustrating to know that they are making America a horrible place to be in.
Both Democrats and Republicans have a responsibility to do government and governing. They almost put the United States in peril because they couldn’t pass a spending bill due to infighting. Putting people before a political party is vital.
Law and order should mean something here. Accountability is something Republicans used to believe in. Honoring the military with more than just lip service is important.
I do miss the Republicans of my childhood. Where did they go? I don’t mind some fiscal conservatism as long as it’s not harmful to those on the fringes.
Once again I’m going on record as saying that I hate Donald Trump for what he has done to good people in this country.
A Pro Wrestling Commentary
I don’t know everything about professional wrestling. I do know I love the sport and want it to flourish everywhere. Sure I am a little tribal and I prefer the upstart All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to the crusty veteran WWE.
We all have our preferences. I have decided to post about wrestling from a positive, constructive position. Because it’s helpful and provides some balance I hope. Pro wrestling is about life because it’s about hopes and dreams. Good and bad. Dark and light. Sacrifice and pain.
When you look at the sport as a whole it’s doing better now than it was 4 years ago before the arrival of AEW. I look at pro wrestler Matt Cardona who was let go from WWE and has found his niche in the independent scene and he is wildly successful.
The word Independent should not be seen as a pejorative but as a word of opportunity to make a living going to places where there is a true adventure for the wrestler. Wrestling is not just WWE or AEW.
Wrestling has its share of cynics, critics, and the like but it doesn’t have to. At the end of the day, it’s men and women who just want to chase a dream, and if they are a little lucky they can lift a pretty gold belt that says they are a champion.
Support wrestling on every level. The future of the sport depends on it. Also just enjoy it and don’t sweat the details too much.
PS: I won’t discuss if pro wrestling is fake or not here. I don’t want that negativity thank you.
Support For LGTBQ Citizens In The USA and Canada – Equality Not Hate
People who are citizens of the LGBTQ community in both the USA and Canada are experiencing discrimination and hate. All they want to do is live their lives and it seems there are some that can’t stand that. I am standing with those who want to love, live, and laugh without fear of reprisal or those who seek to take from them what they enjoy themselves. There is no space for hate and equality hurts no one.
To conservatives, leave people alone. I dig your desire for fiscal responsibility and that sort of thing. However, your social issues side sucks. You don’t have the right to ruin their lives.
Would You Like To Know More, Asking Questions
This is not a post about the movie Starship Troopers, where there is a constant question “Would you like to know more?”.
This post is focused on asking questions about stuff you don’t know anything about and would like to know something about. We should never be so intelligent that we make people feel dumb just for asking. It seems that sort of behavior happens online more these days.
To be enlightened, you must ask questions and be curious. I need to do more of that, we all need to do that. Even spouses need improvement in asking questions and listening.
So, yes, I would like to know more. It’s okay to explain to me so that I will be learned.
