Why?

Why is this bear in pictures from all over the world?

Ever ask why?

Why am I so organized?

Why am I so disorganized?

Why do I care so much?

Why don’t I care very much?

Life is an ongoing battle to make good choices.

What do you do to stay focused on good?

Eight Posts Yesterday

CAUTION!

CAUTION!

Blah, blah, blah, right?

The Internet’s only Five-a-Day Blogger”…..

It started as a 100-day challenge to become a better writer, after a Father told his young son, “If you want to be a better reader, you should read a lot.”

So what happens yesterday?  Not five daily blogs, but eight.

Recently, had a discussion and we talked about the future of books:

  • Books will be relics on display in Museums
  • eBooks will dominate
  • Kindle will destroy the publishing industry
  • The publishing industry will watch it happen
  • Librarians will lose their jobs
  • Unless they become Cybrarians
  • There were 177,000 books published last year
  • People think it’s hard to write a book
  • Authors think their book will sell many copies
  • Barnes & Noble will go out of business eventually
  • People get ready (Bob Marley reference)

“Books” will be written one day at a time. In public, for the public.

Books will be free.  Writers will be poor. And writers will come to realize that there are far too many choices.

A whole new paradigm is being created.

One page per day, almost like reality TV.  People will read blogs, and over time, they will have “read a book” and not even know it.

Eventually, this new paradigm will give way to the next.

I Wonder What You Said

Can't Wait To Get Started!

Can't Wait To Get Started!

Hello everyone. Are you still excited about 2010?  Were you lying in your bed this morning wondering, “When is that alarm clock ever going to go off? Just bring it on!”

Funny isn’t?  Or maybe it’s crazy. Can you imagine having something you can’t wait to get started on?

And so, I just re-read the big question from yesterday.

“How are you doing with your impossible goal?”

No Wait This IS Funny

Trust me on this one, this one is actually some of my best work, if you can call One-Take-You Tube videos work.

Makes me laugh, because I just turn on the camera and start talking. No idea what I’m going to say. No editing. Just a One-Take-You Tube video.

You Know What’s Funny?

Are You Serious?

Are You Serious?

Comedians are funny.

America’s Funniest Home Videos are funny.

Kids Say the Darndest Things show is funny.

Bloopers are funny.

Being serious is funny.

Huh?

Yes, being serious is funny. Remember the cartoon Walt Disney did so well back in the 1930′s, The Three Little Pigs?

Remember the one Pig that built his house with stone?

Pretty funny when the big bad wolf came and he huffed and he puffed and he blew the other houses down.

Now that’s funny.

What’s not funny, is that scene and this blog post may have been lost on ignorant, ill-prepared people who pawn themselves off as adults.

The Art of Compromise

It's Who You Know

It's Who You Know

Heard this phrase the other night, probably on the TV as I was walking though a room, and I wrote it down.

“The art of compromise.”

We can take guesses as to what this means, or we can simply make up our own meaning. That’s what I did, and came up with five different ways:

  1. Compromising our mind, intellect
  2. Compromising our body, health
  3. Compromising our spirit, faith
  4. Compromising our money, career
  5. Compromising just about everything, CEO of Me, Inc.

The comment’s intent targeted the Senators power to say “no” to President Obama – relationships and the passing of President Obama’s Health Care Bill.

Some Senators held their vote until they got a really good deal for their state. This had people debating it’s fairness, and the Senator’s enormous power to say, “No.”

At the end of the day, it’s really about relationships and who you know.

Or maybe, just maybe, it’s about who you no.

Huh?

How Will You Know?

How Will You Know?

Did you say something?

Yes. I said something.

Weren’t you paying attention?

Huh?

Exactly.
