Doing the Right Thing

We teach others and convince ourselves that if the right thing is done, there will be a reward.

Sometimes you can do everything right and get no reward. Sometimes you can do everything right and get hurt. Sometimes you can do everything right and be punished.

Maybe it's better to do things for the right reasons, regardless of the outcome.

The Food Industry & Being an Adult

The food and diet industry has played a trick on everyone. It told us that every food we eat has to taste amazing all the time and if it doesn't, it’s not our fault we don’t eat it. Everything has to be chocolate and bacon and smothered in cheese sauce.

Listen, adults, sometimes we are going to have to eat foods that are good for us for no other reason than they are good for us. Managing choice is part of being an adult – and the bulk of the time we need to be doing things because it's the right thing rather than the easy thing or the thing that seems popular or the thing we think we deserve without consequence.

Let’s all be around for the next generation and start making choices that are good for us.

News of My Death

I'm not actually dead. The news of my (blog) death have been greatly exaggerated.

[The expression derives from the popular form of a longer statement by the American writer, Mark Twain, which appeared in the New York Journal of 2 June 1897: ‘The report of my death was an exaggeration’. The correction was occasioned by newspaper accounts of Twain’s being ill or dead. At the time, Twain’s cousin James Ross Clemens was seriously ill in London, and appears that some reports confused him with Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain).]

So. .what happened? Not a lot of adventuring has been happening, really. Nothing that is terribly interesting or that I could find a ton of incite about.

I did adopt Lucky - by the way. He's my full-time cat.

Lucky
Oh, and upgraded my phone to a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx

*Angels singing*
Let see - oh, and this happened in the middle of Red Rock Canyon in Nevada.:

I did say "yes" by the way
I need to decide if I want to keep going with this blog or not. While writing is great fun to me, I don't always have topics. And I often get lazy and choose not to do anything with it.

So, while I debate the future - you go back to surfing.
