My Buts...

Who would have known....!

A dear friend of mine inspired me to create my very own BLOG. Apparently, she too feels, as do I, the compelling need to put into words the thoughts of yet another BOB. So, here goes.

I wish to begin by championing some of my life long tenets - my BUTS, so to speak: (I will be sharing more of my BUTS throughout my blogs)

I don't always want to be a leader - but, I will never always be led
I don't always want to be a follower - but, I will follow what i believe in
I don't always want to be an activist - but, I will remain active
I'm retired - but, I am not out of the race...

Enjoy.

Since these are my very own personal blogs (and yet open to the world), I can only promise to try my best. Hopefully, my blogs are 'ing'ing, as in: inspiriting, motivating, moving, refreshing, stimulating, stirring, inspiring, and informing. Hey, all I ask in return is your indulgence of my inner perspective. Along the way I also hope you will be able to laugh more at the daily barrage of current events surrounding each of us. Everyone knows we interact based on surrounding events.

First. Here comes yet another of my BUTS: Don't always take everything so serious - but, take on something you are serious about.

My friend who got me started blogging, has always refused each of my morning offering of coffee. However, on this very morning, as i begin my first blog, she actually asked me for one of my cups. Guess what? Now she likes my coffee... There you have it, it begins with a following of one! Matter of fact, she just walked by me, slapped me on my shoulder and stated "you know what! I want another cup"...!

Taxes

This morning as I turned on the TV set on my way to make coffee, a national ( CNN:HLN Channel) news segment had apparently earlier asked its viewers to write in and tell them who "they would raise taxes on if they had the ability to do so". I'm paraphrasing now but here is how it was played out: One person wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the big oil companies but do it APPROPRIATELY". This individual's email actually had the word APPROPRIATELY spelled in capital letters. The second individual wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the junk food companies because they make food taste good which forces us to eat it and yet it is bad for us".  (They will one day raise prices on Junk Food, mark my words!) Honest, i'm not making this up!!!!! As to the first writer, i'm ASSUMING (I capitalized this word to make a point too) they think raising taxes APPROPRIATELY would not effect the average consumer - ergo, their use of the CAPS! In o...

The Lawyer Vs the Entrepreneur

I have been mulling this thought over for some time now and feel it needs to be put to pen. Ever wonder how many of our elected officials in Washington were real entrepreneurs before seeking your vote? I wasn't really sure, but I had my own opinion! Well, most are lawyers. To be an entrepreneur or to want to become one takes a drive that not all individuals have. Long tedious hours, broke one moment rich the next - then broke perhaps again - then having to make the payroll, paying bills, wondering if you're going to make it, re-wondering, thinking rethinking, etc. Hard life! Entrepreneurs are almost like the everyday married couple I guess; long hours, being broke one moment a little money the the next - then broke perhaps again, paying bills. Takes a rare breed to be successful at being married and/or an entrepreneur. The exhilaration of success is ONE driver that surely inspires and keeps a person going in business. Bottom line is that it takes a deep abiding drive, i...
