Bedrooms are like Underwear

Working from home, I have been thinking more about space recently; particularly, ones bed room.  I have decided bedrooms are like underwear, not many people see them, but you want them to be comfortable.  Maybe they're more like socks, because socks are more easily seen, and I feel like I actually really like seeing peoples bedrooms.  I really like funky socks as well.  So I think it is all making sense now.  They're a revealing place; ones personal space.  It's funny, because they say that your bedroom reflects you, so it makes sense that if you put time into your room and make it how you want it, your life will be more like you would like it to be.  Wow, I think I just solved life's puzzle.  One of my goals for this next year is to write a book, maybe I'll call it "Clean your room and Grow Rich".

Art of Living

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his
play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his
recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He
simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to
decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.”
James Michener

"More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth."

We all are stirred or stirrers

“Make no small plans; they have no magic to stir men’s souls.” Daniel Burnam

I believe it is our natural nature to stir, as men.  Our breath, movement, & thoughts; all inherent, are surely for something greater than that moments limited understanding and minimal evident effects.    

Pet Peeve: Friends & PHON(iES)

With the advancement of communication through technology (such as texting) you would think the substance of our interpersonal relationships would be gaining traction all the more.  Taking into account that body language is proposed to be 60-85% of all communication though, this so called "advancement" can quite quickly work to our disadvantage. 

Case in point, lets examine the last time my job and I decided to part ways.  It was an interesting transition, kind of mutual, kind of a work in progress, definitely expedited because of crappy communication with a 3rd party friend though.  A good friend of mine, who also knew my boss, being the unique 3rd party he was, was the first person I called when I found out my job may be coming to a transition.  It was a surreal moment for me; a big deal.  I called on him because I needed a friend to share in the surreality with... 
Has this ever happened to you though?:  You call a friend to talk, and they don't answer their phone, but text you back: "What's up?".  Well I fell for the bait, briefly explaining the ensuing situation, thinking it would warrant a call back.  Did they call me back?  NO!  Instead, they text my boss, WHAT!  My boss was blown away that I was already out there spreading rumors making light of the situation, and do you think she reacted to that?  Of coarse!  And do you think I reacted to her reaction?  Of coarse!!
Damn our human nature & crappy communication.  Next time you want to make light of a heavy situation through crappy communication, I hope that guy up there blows his bad breath right through his phone into your face, even if you don't answer; friend.
Who knows, maybe someday this crazy world will evolve into a place where we have little buttons on the front of our homes that our friends can walk up and push and it will make a little bell chime in our house and we can speak to one another face to face.  Someday... maybe we'll get there.  Until then, don't be a phoney homey and answer your phone homey.
