Sometimes in life we tend to hang ourselves with words or statements or even our actions that have gotten out of hand. We’ve all been given some title or earned some supposed right of passage, as we trek through this mysterious, crappy wasteland. Some of us are okay with our name, the birthplace, the year we were born, the parents who birthed us, which I label as absolutes. But there’s a lot of us that have to deal with the DNA drip of these absolutes that has infiltrated our puny bodies, that offset or even reset our abilities to accomplish this or that.
It’s accountability that’s at the core of our existence. Being responsible for things that have been thrust in our lap, or even dealing with the major how-to’s in managing our sucky existence. Not everyone’s really great at micromanaging their flimsy way around their cesspool lifestyle. When it Sucks it Blows is designed to make it fun again to roam the planet. Having a huge lot in life may not be your cup of green herbal tea nor is it always pleasant to have to be responsible for such a massive entourage.
I say wear it well, do yourself good and be faithful to those tasks that are in front of you. Ease up on what you expect, stop the entitlement game, and start to respect those who you may despitefully dislike. If living one day at a time helps you, then man up and serve your 24 hour timeslot, but if it’s a life sentence you have to manhandle, I say, just grab a Monster, kickback, and let’s chit chat about conflicts and issues that are taking planet E down.

Experience is the best teacher, it’s the best life changer, it’s the one size that fits all. You’ve heard the phrase, “don’t get too close to the fire.” This fire will either do one of three things, it will either burn you, kill you or energize or heat you up. Those three, which I call the perfect trifecta, are all you need to change your crap be mental outlook. If someone tells you don’t get too close to the fire because you’re going to burn or you’re going to kill yourself you got that. But if somebody tells you to not get too close to the fire because it will alter and re-frame your life than hey maybe more people will sacrifice the 3rd° for the first position.
Most of us are old dogs with zero new tricks at our disposal. We just tend to gravitate in gyrate in the retarded Lane for days on end. We could give a flying rip what would happen next. What is it that keeps us from moving on? Are we just too lazy, or scared or just downright fearful of the next move. Or is it just were so locked in or stuck? Maybe a “no move” is the easiest, but far from the best!
Brain surgery is a non-option even though that may be your only option. Someone else’s noggin sometimes just doesn’t work so good. We hate to admit it that it’s ours but if we don’t all our fans will.
What’s apparent here, is that choice must come first before the gurney. We have to allow ourselves the room or for some, an entire medical wing, to get us back to current specs.

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat was ABCs Wide World of Sports common tagline for years. And I think I’ve seen them all, the blunders, the chokes, the crashes, the injuries, the physical and mental breakdowns, the come from behind, the last second shot, the final inning heroic grand slam, the last play Hail Mary touchdown pass. In these instances, whether failure or success are all part of winning. It’s not the championship, it’s the trying the gets you there. It may be individualistic or it could be a group or team effort. But we all need to know when is winning.
We can go through life constantly trying to find the pinnacles of success, or traveling to some foreign country and discourse thing with some Himalayan Sherpas, or we may even find solace in somebody else’s big plush couch to unload all those familiar setbacks that keep us under somebody else’s thumb.
The sports world is easy to see those champions, or even in the business world all those corporate gurus who have amassed billions but it’s the under card, underprivileged, the ignorant and unintelligent who tend to always get nothing in return for their efforts spent. We have the have’s and the have not’s. The balance of power is not equal by any degree. 10% of the world owns 90% while the remaining 10% scrimp and save to live another day.
One final thought, are we fighting a fight we don’t belong in, or are we doing something we shouldn’t do, or are we in a place we don’t fit, or have we just given up any inkling of hope that anything will ever take place? If any one of the four above fits right up your craw then there is work to be done.

Humans tend to cower under pressure. Humiliation is one form of forced behavior that creates a somewhat hostile environment. Humility is a self-induced choice. We learned from those we admire or idolize. It’s a good thing to be humble while on the flipside, to be humiliated in the midst of your fan base is completely unnecessary and has long-lasting negative results. One is self induced while the other is environmentally induced.
Education is of a premium nature these days because everyone wants to make a buck. No one is choosing a career where fun and excitement are the leading indicators. It seems so cheap to sacrifice time, knowledge and a huge slush fund of money to grab some degree that really has nothing to do with why you are here on the planet.
Not all of us can admit in the open court that we are complete idiots. Some bigger than others yet all of us share that same common idiot DNA. We are just losers. At least I can admit that, how about you? And a loser is not somebody who is lost and can be found they are someone who just doesn’t give a rats ass about their performance.
Most of my life I cheated, lied and chose the easiest road to hoe. I was entitled before the word entitlement became popular. I was a dysfunctional, emotionally unfit nitwit that only understood sports, stealing and whatever I could get at the cost of somebody else.

I’m not sure if it’s tragic when things happen around us that we have zero control over. They happen and will happen despite our objection or even our acceptance. Fate is something that just takes place despite government approval. Whether random or systematically, things just happen in our life we can’t avoid.
And in that world we exist in are we allowed to dream despite the objections from those opposing our position? We’ve heard of the phrase to hands in the pudding or not enough pots to pee in.
The fantasy world is one we choose while the fate is the contrast. A willful choice is something we live and die for. Yes in that dream state we create, we believe, we exist, we are exhilarated. So to dream is a choice but to exist in a meager state is fate. Remember, fate just happens it’s like eminent domain while that fantasy that looms loud in our mind is where we want to be or go or do.
So are we allowed?
Can we just choose our destiny?
Or can we destroy a our destiny?
Fantasy in a fate world is being able to live in a democracy or shall I say theocracy. There has to be someone above us or around us that rules our world.
