I’m still not sure why people think that a 71-year old man who has been nearly criminal, and definitely unethical in his business practices for the last 40 years would have been anything but that once in a political position. Apathy, and simply not paying attention are two of our nation’s largest shortcomings.
Another Weigh-In Wednesday. And today’s magic number was 216.4. At least it is still going in the right direction. I would have hoped after a weekend of the gym, soccer, a lot of walking, bike rides, and swimming it would have done a little better.
The value of an individual now, more than ever, is measured almost exclusively by his or her contribution to the economy. What are you worth? What is your profession? How much do you earn? How many kids do you have? What zip code do you live in? What kind of car do you drive? Now that the majority of middle-class Americans have college degrees, our education even boils down to, how expensive was the college you got that degree from? Prestige replaces practical education, and application of learning.
Nothing turns a woman off faster than a guy who comes across like Norman Bates, and Jeffrey Dahmer had a baby, and he was born with Tourette’s. Yes, I’m looking at you Mr. Horn-Honking Cat-Caller.
“Doug shot himself.” I said, pretty much as a matter of factly as that. Honestly, if anyone was going to shoot themselves, or someone else, it was going to be that kid.
I’m never going to look like a Chippendales dancer, unless you compare me to Chris Farley in the SNL skit. So I’ll be happier just reducing the spare tire, and not being a flabby old man in five years.
I mean, flabbier, and older, I guess.
This literally weighs on me. I want this nation to be a shining example of what a nation should be. There are too many people that think that shining example should be led by money, and stock markets, and how successful a very small minority is, or how many people own guns, or how much money we spend on our military…
Disheartening to see another side to the history we have been taught, and understand that the United States might have actually been the bad-guy when it came to de-militarizing after World War II, and forced the cold war upon the world, instead of working toward making the world a better place.
A see a lot people calling Kanye West a “genius.” By what definitions is this guy a genius? Not all misunderstood people are geniuses. Not all popular artists are geniuses either. Most geniuses probably languish, and are never recognized as such. I have yet to witness this genius displaying any traits that I would call, genius.
