Today is the day I write.


Right now I do feel like I am riding a flaming unicycle... down hill. And I cant seem to get a break... or brake. 


As I wander through trying to get a job I realize that there are bunches of people just like me out there. Some with talent but because of perceived advantage cannot get the chance to shine. 

I have applied for jobs that I and others know I would be great at but because I am not woke and a social justice warrior I am not given the chance. So it would seem at this point that culture and conformity are the most important thing. Wokeness has become the blue suit and white shirt of IBM fame. Virtue signaling has become a form of currency much like kids in the play ground bragging to their buddies about some real or imagined conquest. and so the very intolerance they rail against is of it's self intolerant.

It took me about 10 minutes to realize that riding a unicycle was REALLY hard and different. There was no YouTube to find a video to explain how to do it and i was not going to ask anyone for help. There really was no one to ask as Damon had moved and I was stuck with myself...

I think I need to attack this in a couple of ways: 1) foster and nurture the passion as I develop and refine my vision and business plan. 2) find the folks that will support my vision.

Linear thinking in a non-linear life

 I am reflecting today on how linear our thinking tends to be. We draw a straight line of a to b to c in our life from long range, go to school, get a job, get married, etc,.  Life is so not linear. We want our story to be like an episode on tv but truth is until we are dead the story continues and only the chapters change.  And non of it is linear.
