Flerp.



Ideas expressed compactly are far more likely to stick, to be remembered, and to be acted upon.

When faced with a choice, first ask if it fits with who you are. Then ask if it fits with who you want to be.

READ THIS!!!!



Lead with your main point. Follow with your explanation. The other way around makes you seem uncertain.

 Going with the first answer you think of is like hiring the first person who replies to your job ad.

"Remember that three quarters of an answer is better than an answer and a half." ~ Simon Sinek

Small mistakes can prompt us to unlearn bad habits. Big mistakes may be needed to unlearn bad thinking. 

Once you tell people why they should do something, you've given them a reason why they should not.

I like quotes.


The things we do to try to impress people often have the opposite effect.

The safe path is the one you already know. It leads to where you've already been.

My posts need more diversity...


People hear you better when you're listening than when you're talking.

A word to the wise is unnecessary. It is the foolish that needs instruction. But only the wise want instruction.

The freedom to be verbose is enjoyed by writers far more than by readers.

Don't do something permanently stupid just because you're temporarily upset.
(I would add don't do something permanently stupid just because you're temporarily weak.) 

Tell people what they want to know. Not what you think they want to hear. Not what you feel you have to say.

S:DLKJFS:DL!!! THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MALE ORIENTATED BLOGGER TEMPLATE WEBSITES!!!

Exhibit A
Exhibit B

Until I find a male acceptable blog template i am going to stick with this argyle. or upload a really awesome mind blowing photo of a walrus. I will keep you posted.

The hard jobs are more rewarding. If someone thinks the job is easy, I'd rather let someone else do it.

Dynamic planning always beats a static plan. Plans never work, but planning never fails.

Sometimes the best way to compete is to cooperate better than anyone else.

I like Pizza :)

MERICA!

This may seem like a regular little ol' orange. But it's not. This here orange was grown by Jeremiah Bishop's Grandfather in good ol' Mississippi. And is now in my hands ready to be eaten. I feel loved :) 




Edit: Sincerely this has got to one of the best oranges I have ever had :)

Reveal your purpose. If people can't see what is motivating you, they will make up something.
Be persistent in your goals, not in your methods. If it's not working, try something different.

How to tell a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's the only one carrying a sign that says "I'm a sheep".

When you ask someone a question, whose understanding are you trying to change, yours or theirs?

If you want real change, change your habits and your beliefs. They control most of what you do.

Favorite thing to count.

This is Abi and Ellie. They're a happy spot for me :)


























This is Ellie. Just turned 1 and she's the happiest               Abi has got to be the cutest person known to 
little piece of meat you ever did meet. She's got                  man. Ellen even thinks so. (she never stops 
her mommas attitude and her uncles handsomeness.         talking... It's rather funny :)
This is her mean face :)




That's all for today :)

Try to think of my opinions as being hypotheses. They are easier to get rid of that way.

The best way to make a good impression is to not try so hard to make a good impression. Just be.

Nicki minaj < Alex G

Tyler Ward is a babe. Almost Buddy Holly status. He does a lot of covers, collabs, and genre mashers. He's sick. Look into him :)

Some good ones -
Gravity (John Mayer)
Fix You with Boyce Avenue (Coldplay)
Super Bass (Nicki Minaj)
Tonight Tonight (Hot Chelle Rae - They have a really cool band name btws...)
No Love (Eminem - Not the best song selection but it's noteworthy.)
Dynamite (Taio Cruz)
Live Like We're Dying (Kris Allen - one of his first songs. Cool to see how he has progressed from here to the first ones that I listed.)


p.s. Sometimes he puts up songs over people he supports and they freaking rock. (LIKE THIS ONE!!!)


PLSD:FLSIJDFLJK:!! HE CLEANS UP ALL THE SONGS!!! NO CUSSING OR SWEARS OR OTHER UNWANTED BLEHNESS :) just a fun fact...

Brotherhood!!! RAH!!!!

Age of Empires 3 came out 6 years ago. (That is really REALLY old for a video game) and I am still playing it with my older brothers. COOLEST GAME EVER!!! :)

Anyways - So I have been into swaying side to side and snapping a lot lately. It's kinda addictive and happy :)

This has been on my mind a lot recently.







p.s. This week has been Paradise.

Momma and Pops.


This woman made my life. Without her I wouldn't be me. With her I have accomplished 18 years of life and some happiness. She is the most wonderful person I have ever met and I love her for it. 
Especially when she spends her evenings in Leopard print pajamas :)



This is my Dad. He is my best friend, except that he is my Dad. He spends time with me everyday even when he has 80 hour work weeks. He has spent his life to make mine. 




Love you Momma and Pops :)

Merry Christmas :)

may you all be happy and merry with your families and friends :) GO SPEND TIME WITH THEM!!! And don't forget what christmas is all about. Spread the Joy :)




p.s. if you need a hint on what it is about, look in the word christmas and remember what he lived for.


p.p.sp. Interesting fact - We celebrate Christmas (Birth of Christ) on the 25th of December because way way way way back when there was a Christian who celebrated the birth of Christ on the Winter Solstice. That year it was on the 25th. He decided upon the winter solstice because that is the day when the Light begins to vanquish the Dark.

p.s. the harry potter one is pretty freaking incredible... his hands are a blur...

Live for others.

An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.


“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide—
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”


The builder lifted his old gray head:
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.


Good poem to live by :)

Found this one in the parking lot.





Delicate droplets of rain, calmly embracing the earth
Caressing all the tiny seedlings, encouraging rejuvenation and rebirth
They hold tightly knit together, in what appears to be friendly cuddles
Unable to resist frolicking through them, the warmth of welcoming puddles

A joy to behold whenever they come, they are but a matter of perspective
They are a blessing in disguise, positive attitudes are elective
Summer sunshine freely dances, upon your welcoming shoulder
A daily replenishing of sorts, another day passes and time gets older

Despite all of your valiant efforts, the ever-present winds of life prevail
Adapting and overcoming is second nature, you have learned to reset your sail
Your reflection slowly begins to ripple, as another drop gently descends
The best things in life are free, and meant to be shared with family and friends

Skipping moments in time is unwise; make your hay while the sun shines
The great outdoors beckon you; puddles are one of the signs
Ebbing the tides and surfing the waves, trees and their branches shimmering
The moonlight serenades us all, with its constant beautiful glimmering

Everything occurs, as it rightfully should, underneath the pale moon light
Seemingly, unbiased things take shape, not bothering to question wrong or right
So take that extra little bit of time, do it right now instead of after
Jump in those puddles with your children, become ensconced in their laughter

Night-time quiets your neighborhoods; all sorts of people all dreamily off to sleep
Tomorrow there will still be mountains to climb, but perhaps they will not seem quite as steep
Puddles have such a short lifespan; you must embrace them while they last
For when the final bell tolls for thee, you will regret all of those puddles that you passed
