New York Minute 133 - Fulton’s Folly

Yes, I did see a man urinate on a parked police car today, just outside of the brand new Fulton Street Transportation Center. He’s probably one of the homeless men who loiter and sleep in there. $1.4 billion to build a fancy hangout for bums! Only in New York!

Random Thoughts - 2 March 2019

Monthly bills should be prorated for February. I feel like I’m paying for three days that I didn’t use.

There are people living today who will be alive in the Twenty-Second Century. Some of those people will still be working in the Twenty-Second Century.

I am what’s known as middle-aged, which is strange, because I don’t feel that I’ve reached the middle.

I wish that the good things in my life had started earlier. I would have been too busy to do the stupid stuff.

I am perfectly happy with not being perfectly happy. It feels authentic.

I take a wait and see approach to life. We’ll have to wait and see if it was the right strategy.

Cynicism

Cynicism is the laziest response.

What We Can Do

If people focused on what they can do instead of complaining about what they can’t do, don’t have, or what someone else did, this planet would be full of happy, productive geniuses.

Poor Tummy

Tummy hurts today

Hope this box of tummy pills

Makes that go away

Influencers

Remember the good old days when ‘influencers’ were people who actually accomplished things?

Shocking Revelations

One of the most sobering revelations about humanity is the realization that large segments of the population will support a corrupt, immoral leader simply because he or she promises to give them what they want.

New York Minute 132 - Good Vibrations

I must have been sending off good vibes the other day. As I home from the grocery store, I saw a couple walking ahead of me with a very young toddler. The little boy seemed barely old enough to walk. He wasn’t going very fast, but he didn’t seem to have any issues with balance.

As I got closer, the little boy stopped, turned around, and said “Hi!” as he waved to me. His mother beamed at her outgoing child and repeated, “Hi!” I smiled and said, “Hi!” as I walked past. What a cute kid!

I dropped off the groceries and went to another store where the store manager greeted me warmly. Normally, the people who work at the store are stone faced and barely responsive. But hey, good vibrations have a way of making everyone happy!

Preparation

It doesn’t matter who you are, how talented you are, or what you’ve done before. What matters is how prepared you are for this moment.

You Can Count On Me

The most important thing that you can convey to someone is not that you love them, but that they can count on you.
