Suggest or just smile
At what point does one keep their mouth shut or spout advice? Obviously everyone is different. I don't know if I can ever keep my mouth shut. If I don't express my thoughts they just fester and mentally constipate me (I get the purple face and everything).
But as I progress on in years (don't laugh K) I find opportunities to impart my life experiences that may save others some grief. Have you ever been through something and thought, "Why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be like this?"
Then there are those among us who cannot take any kind of advice. Not even, 'don't pee on that electric fence' kind of advice.
Also consider that it is funny to watch someone else screw up especially if I know they aren't going to get hurt.
Maybe I'll just make a 'wheel of answers' with spaces on it like 'Drop Knowledge' and 'Enjoy this yutz get'n schooled','Intellectually Bankrupt' and 'Shut up and grin'.

Different perspective

Enough about me!
I haven't posted in a while because I am in the way of my muse. At this point someone might describe the muse or other component they are looking for. But I can't because I only know it when I see it. Lately I've been very focused on the new job, eating style (i.e. diet), exercise, Oh yea and 7and8. I don't want to post every success or bump on the weight loss road, that isn't what this BLOG is about. I like looking at things in the world (especially surrounding 7and8) and exposing how funny they are in the grand scheme of things. I never have trouble explaining the embarrassing or self-deprecating things here but for some reason I feel like it would be glad-handing to regularly note successes. (Whoa, that is deep. Someone needs to add that one to the 'therapy' list.)
Until I next time when I might just see past myself.

Not too far from the tree
I've known for some time that I share a number of traits with my Father. Genetically speaking this statement is an obvious one. As any normal adolescent I denied them and swore (say it with me) "I won't be like my Father." Maturity happened and now I realize that I'd rather be like my Father than like a lot of people out there.
My Father is a dyed-in-the-cast salesman. He's made a lot of money doing it for many years. It is what he was born to be.
I was told the other day that I was a natural salesman (not the first time I've heard this). Maybe it's time to embrace this legacy.
Here's to you old man!
