Perception is a very hard thing to overcome when its historically negative. Reputation is a hard thing to manage when people still think the value of something is less than something that is seen as bigger and that it’s better in the mind of many. What people see in something almost everything.

Generation to Generation
There comes a time when the youth of a society must step up to make a contribution. As some generations age they aren’t able to do the same things they could when they were younger. It’s also important for previous generations to mentor the youth of the day to prepare them to take charge and do good things in the world. The contributions of all generations should be honored and appreciated. There comes a time to pass the torch from one generation to another so the work of community will continue and life will go on.
TV and Twitter
Have you ever watched a TV show just to see what people are saying about it on Twitter. Sometimes the comments are better than what you see on the screen. With this multi-screen entertainment environment we have going on it makes sense to have your device running twitter while you are tuned into your favorite show. The thing about it is that it works only when the show is live and bunches of people are commenting about it at the same time. Streaming DOES NOT offer this feel of communal viewing. I am old school like this and I like to see something live and on a big screen. I like the instant feedback that Twitter provides and it does influence people to continue watching something or just leaving it behind. So enjoy TV and Twitter at the same time.
Me A Influential Blogger, Naw!
I got listed on someones Influential Blogger’s list on Twitter and that made me think am I that influential? This is just a simple blog of a fairly dorky person who rambles on about stuff happening in his life. There is really nothing awe inspiring about the posts you see here. Tony is a simple person with ideas in his head that sometimes make sense. Just saying.
Rambling on Differences of Opinion
It’s OK for friends to have a difference of opinion. No two people are alike. Opinions can bring people together or fracture friendships. I do worry about what people think…maybe its a little self esteem thing or perhaps a little fear of someone not liking me anymore. Even the best of friends can disagree. Sometimes it’s good not to overthink it and not make it an issue.
My Take On The Whole Starbucks Red Cup Controversy
What bothers me about the whole Starbucks cup thing is that it’s just a cup of coffee, that costs more than some people have in their names at this moment. Perhaps Christians, me included should give 5 bucks to a food bank so that those without things like food can eat a meal or more. Maybe everyone should give up Starbucks for a week and give what they would spend there to those in need. Let’s get real and understand that the war on Christmas, is really those observing it not understanding the meaning is about a Savior who would show the world to be better and to love venti.
There are way other things going on in the world to be angry about. Just saying.
