Something I haven’t done in a while

I mean, besides writing here…

Today, for the first time in years, I bought a physical newspaper.

I get most of my news via online newspapers and updates. Once in while I’ll watch a news special or a 24 news channel while in the airport. And of course, there’s my regular doses of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

But, the irony of being a print journalism guy and having not read one is not lost on me.

Yet today, I wanted the physical copy. The tangible reminder of the historic event yesterday.

No matter what you think of Obama as a man or a candidate, he made history yesterday.

More importantly, we a nation made history yesterday.

So pick up a paper and tuck it away in your closet.  You’ll thank me in 20 years.

Then go online and do your research on the man. Make your own judgments when it comes to who to vote for this year.

Summer Wanes, Life Waxes

August here in the Chaos Community has been unseasonably cool. 3 days of 90+ degrees have given way to perfectly sunny days and cool, relaxing nights.

Work-work is humming along at a steady pace. I’m tired when I leave the office most days, but its that good ‘I’ve done a full day’s work’ kind tired.

BP #2 is starting to roar along again. Support coming from expected and unexpected quarters, making me realize I have so much in the tank, ready to fuel this thing.

In the rest of my life… friends, family, my (slowly developing) love life… things are moving.

Right now, I’m too busy, too happy and too focused to give it much of a in depth review. And that fits in nicely with my current plan of focusing on what I want, letting the good come to me.

So, I won’t be jinxing anything by over analyzing it here.

At least not for a while.

A great mantra

“Money is for the weak.”

Break down any striking it rich fantasy and it is never about the money.

It’s about the freedom.

To make choices, not fulfill obligations or requirements.

Chase the freedom, not the money.
