Homework complete

I asked you to miss an appointment yesterday, and said I would do the same. Well, I did follow through, and it went pretty well. I got involved in other things last night (to the point I missed NCAA games), and said “kiss my buttocks” to nightly news, CNN, and any other fear-monger for hire (journalists of major network shows). And guess what?

The sky did not fall; President Obama’s plans did not affect my evening; AIG bonuses did not destroy my life; and the local murder did not run me into my ‘bomb shelter’! I can not believe it!!!! How did this happen?

Easy… I still have financial problems. I still have little work. I still do not know where my utility money will come from. BUT, I got out, and related to my fellow neighbor… instead of letting Brian Williams spread ‘wisdom and calamity’ into my misery. The great thing that came about was… the feeling of being in a group. The people I talked to had the same issues, but were not paid to instill fear or raise ratings. They appreciated a smile, or a handshake, and knew we can make it through this… and the shade of gray is solely based on how hard you press with the crayon!

The world is great… not because of Madonna, or Derek Jeter, or Katie Couric… but because of YOU, and the fact you know this and can let  the idiots get paid to bring the world down… while we keep “getting it done”.

See you tomorrow,
