<p>The word &#8220;<em><strong>SCAM</strong></em>&#8221; get&#8217;s thrown around more than <strong>SNOOKIE </strong>in a bar @ the <strong>Jersey Shore</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your biz-op (Amway, Nouveau Riche, HerbaLife, Melaleuca) is a pyramid <em><strong>SCAM</strong></em></li>
<li>Your church is a <em><strong>SCAM</strong></em></li>
<li>Wal-Mart is a <em><strong>SCAM</strong></em>&#8230;and they have a conspiracy with China to take over the USA</li>
<li>Red Box and their $1 movies&#8230;<em><strong>WHAT A RUSE</strong></em>!!!!</li>
<li>Oprah and her giving away $10,000 and an iPad to everyone who works for her &#8220;O&#8221; magazine&#8230;ULTRAAAAAA SCAAAAAAM!!</li>
</ul>
<p>Publisher&#8217;s Clearning house??? Now <strong>THAT&#8217;S FOR REAL</strong>!!!!</p>
<p>Look at the people who are crying</p>
<p>&#8220;FAKE!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;FAIL!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;SCAM!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;THIS SUCKS!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;GET THAT CRAP OUT OF MY FACE!!!&#8221; (oooo, and would you lend me money for gas)</p>
<p>&#8220;SOCIALISM IS THE BEST, COMRAD!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>(OK, I&#8217;ve never heard of the last one, but that&#8217;s what losers deep down in their gut ultimately believe in)</p>
<p>These people usually don&#8217;t have track records</p>
<p>They usually jump around from place to place, <strong>NEVER </strong>rooting themselves in anything long enough to succeed</p>
<p>They&#8217;re nothing but <strong>LOSERS </strong>(by definition, someone who has the tenancy to <strong>LOSE </strong>CONSISTANTLY, without getting any <strong>STONES </strong>to man up &amp; try to succeed)</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the difference a WINNER and a LOSER have?</p>
<p><strong>WINNERS</strong>: <em><strong>LOVE </strong></em>what they do, would do it for <strong>FREE</strong>, but make a butt-load of money because they consistantly share their passion (loverage) with others</p>
<p><strong>LOSERS</strong>: Hate and despise good ol&#8217; <em>AMERICAN </em>work&#8230;they want the <em><strong>GET-RICH-QUICK</strong></em> boat and don&#8217;t have the brains to get off that merry-go-round.  And if they see Mary run around in her new <em><strong>PAID FOR</strong></em> Camero again, it&#8217;s <strong>WAR</strong></p>
<p><strong>WINNER</strong>: Seeks out strong mentors to help him with his success; someone he can <em><strong>GLEAN </strong></em>off of; this guy knows a mentor / teacher can curve his learning by <em><strong>YEARS</strong></em>, since Mr./Ms. Mentor&#8217;s already been through the muck and mire&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>LOSER</strong>: Believes they can do it all by themselves, not knowing <em><strong>NOTHING </strong></em>is done by yourself; they hate Tony Robbins and he is a <strong><em>SCAM</em> </strong>to this person, even though the dude&#8217;s helped out presidents, MMA fighters, actors, coaches, and other <strong>Red Carpet Millionaire <em>HOT SHOTS</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>WINNER</strong>: Is a &#8220;<em>yes, yes, yes</em>&#8221; person; he knows by saying yes more than no, he takes action to open up lines of opportunity to meet people he&#8217;s been praying for to show up in his life&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>LOSER</strong>S:  Thinks <em><strong>EVERYTHING&#8217;S a FARCE</strong></em>.  This guy wouldn&#8217;t buy a ticket to a networking lunch, let-alone go to a FREE Amway opportunity&#8230;yet, will gladly <strong>SLAM </strong>down $10 for a lotto ticket, <strong>ROLLIN </strong>on a kagillion to 1 chance of winning, and a 1 to 2 chance of being stupid-uber-poor in 3 years if they do</p>
<p><strong>WINNERS</strong>: Know their own failures depend on them and them alone.  If they fail, they&#8217;re the ones who take the burden, get up, regroup, and try again; they&#8217;re the epitome of a<strong> WARRIOR</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>LOSERS</strong>: Blame everyone <strong>INCLUDING</strong>, family, friends, the government, God, you&#8217;re grandma&#8217;s Corgi (dog), and the neighborhood mailman named Stan.  They always have an excuse why they <strong>SUCK</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, there <strong>ARE </strong>real two-bit huckster <em><strong>SNAKE OIL</strong></em> salesmen out there</p>
<p>And those people have a special room in the next life saved for them</p>
<p>But not everything&#8217;s a scam and who&#8217;s to say what get&#8217;s labeled the tag of &#8220;<em>if it&#8217;s too good to be true&#8230;</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Check you&#8217;re sources&#8230;do your research&#8230;don&#8217;t be afraid to take <strong>RISKS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">ALL WINNERS DO!!!</span></strong></p>

<p>So, I hear about this guy who makes like a kagillion dollars a year hosting this website called <a href="http://icanhascheezeburger.com">I Can Has Cheezeburger</a></p>
<p>All it is is a whole slew of pictures of cats, dogs, etc. with quirky little comments that users can come up with, rate, and make comments about</p>
<p>Actually, the guy has about 56 sites like this.,,</p>
<p>And <strong>REMEMBER</strong>, he makes a <strong>KA-GILLION</strong> dollars a year</p>
<p><em>(this blog isn&#8217;t about him&#8230;he&#8217;s a <strong>ROCKSTAR</strong>)</em></p>
<p>Well, one of the pictures is a 4-piece setup w/ Che Guevara saying something like &#8220;<em>Viva La Socialism</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The next is him smiling with Fidel Castro</p>
<p>The third is&#8230;eh, I forgot</p>
<p><em>(trying to do this by memory&#8230;)</em></p>
<p>And the 4th&#8230;was absolutely hysterical</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s sooooooooooooo true&#8230;yet so sad!!!</p>
<p>But before I tell you what it was, let me share this:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;BEWARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DEMONIZE WHO YOU ARE AS SIN&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Because they, more than likely, don&#8217;t live by their own credo:</p>
<p><strong>EXAMPLES</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The &#8220;<strong>PRO-CHOICE</strong>&#8221; movement is against giving humans the right to <strong>LIFE</strong>&#8230;yet they&#8217;re <strong>LIVING</strong></li>
<li>The treehuggers want to save a whale, but kill a child</li>
<li>The people who <strong>CONDEMN</strong> those who watch <strong>XXX-films</strong> <em>(as evil and disgusting as they are)</em>, are then caught fornicating, or in a strip club, or doing some other sexual infirmity</li>
<li>People of religion who want to b!@ch, moan, and take away your FREEDOM to practice your religious beliefs&#8230;but they&#8217;re free to practice theirs</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>AND NOW THE PUNCH LINE</strong></em></p>
<p>Those who call themselves <strong>US SOCIALISTS/COMMUNISTS</strong></p>
<p>Are the ones selling <strong>CHE GUEVARA T-SHIRTS</strong>!!!</p>
<p>Does this make sense to anyone else???</p>

AFTER A 49 YEAR DROUGHT, THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS BRING LORD STANLEY&#8217;S CUP HOME



I&#8217;d like to dedicate this post to two groups:



~The Chicago Blackhawks~
You men played your guts out for 60 some-odd games
And through all the crap, and name calling, and the naysayers
And people mispronouncing &#8220;Toews&#8221; (Tayvz)

<p><strong>WISDOM</strong> and <strong>REVELATION</strong> can show up at any given time</p>
<p>EYE(dot)E(dot)&#8230;</p>
<p>Before going to a finance class with CashMoney <strong>SUPERSTAR</strong> <a href="http://www.daveramsey.com">Dave Ramsey</a>, I took a ride to the bank, while Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill speaking <strong><em>WORD</em></strong> to me inside my car</p>
<p>(<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Deluxe-Napoleon/dp/1585426598/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1274136952&amp;sr=8-4">Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill</a></em></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-size: x-small;">one of the <strong>TOP THREE</strong> books any successful <em><strong>JUGGERNAUT</strong> </em>should have in their library)</span></span></p>
<p>when I started to think about my <strong>COWBOY HAT</strong> sitting in the back seat</p>
<p>&#8230;and Transformers</p>
<p><em>(30-yrs young, and yeah, this is what I think about when I&#8217;m by myself)</em></p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m part of a <a href="http://www.themillionmindmarch.com">global mentorship mastermind</a>, headed up with a a <strong>MAN-GIANT</strong> who consistently states:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Leaders wear hats</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>And I constantly think</p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><strong>W<br />
.<br />
.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><strong>T<br />

<p><span style="font-size: small;">I mean&#8230;.REALLY??</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What in the <strong>WORLD </strong>does wearing a Cubs hat, or a Derby, or a <a href="http://www.foureyesjokeshop.com/ProductImages/hats/racing%20Reindeer%20crazy%20hat.JPG">Deer Hunting hat</a> have to do with <strong>LEADERSHIP</strong>???</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, so&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Winston Churchill wore a hat..Fine</li>
<li>George Washington wore a hat&#8230;Super</li>
<li>Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt both war hats&#8230;Great</li>
</ul>
<p>But are you saying that some schmoe small-man is going to be a leader because he&#8217;s <strong>ROCKIN&#8217; a CHEESEHEAD</strong>???</p>
<p>AND</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not wearing a hat, and that one dude (that I&#8217;m not too fond of at the moment) is</p>
<p>Soooooooooooooooooooooo</p>
<p>Does that mean he&#8217;s better than me?</p>
<p>No&#8230;no&#8230;<strong><span style="font-size: large;">100 x&#8217;s NO</span></strong></p>
<p>Then what does it mean???</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em>I then had a &#8220;wow&#8230;no kidding&#8221; moment</em></span></p>
<p>This is when Wisdom took me on a journey to earlier that month</p>
<p>I had wore my $10 Panama Jack, Wall-Mart cowboy man-hat all day</p>
<p>And got plenty of all the cowboy ribs</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Giddy up, y&#8217;all!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;What, are you rustlin&#8217; cattle now?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Of which, I thought were funny, and why should I care&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;I&#8217;m from South of I-80</p>
<p>**That&#8217;s CHICAGO TAWK for <em>&#8220;Might as well live in Alabama, Jethro&#8221;</em>**</p>
<p>When  while going out, with a  buddy of mine, they made the statement</p>
<p>&#8220;Glad you didn&#8217;t wear the hat&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah,<em> <strong>I DIDN&#8217;T WANT TO EMBARRASS YOU</strong></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks, Pauly.  You&#8217;re the bestest!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Awwwwwwwww shucks, if you say so.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now&#8230;did you catch that?</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em><strong>Read it over again</strong></em></span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Did you get it now?</p>
<p>Lemme explain</p>
<p><img src="http://afteramerica.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/winston-churchill.jpg" alt="Winston Churchill" align="right" /></p>
<p>Have you ever done something so out of the ordinary that <strong>YOU &#8220;CAUSED&#8221;</strong> another person to be<em> <strong>EMBARRASSED</strong></em>?</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>Have you wore anything soooooo out of the ordinary (but, hey, you liked it) that someone stated</p>
<p>&#8220;Take that off&#8230;<em><strong>YOU&#8217;RE EMBARRASSING ME</strong></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t say that&#8230;<em><strong>YOU&#8217;RE EMBARRASSING ME</strong></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you understand what that&#8217;s CODE for?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s code for:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>I&#8217;m too self-conscious and too much of a conformist let another man dare to be different</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>
It had <strong>ZERO</strong> do to with actually wearing a stupid hat</p>
<p>And had <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> to do with what happens to some people when someone dares to stand out in a crowd and be different from the <strong>MOB</strong><br />
<br />
It has <strong>JACK </strong>to do with wearing an <strong>ID10T</strong> hat</p>
<p>And all about the self-awareness of the one wearing it and the attitudes of those around them<br />
<br />
We cry out</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m an original.  I&#8217;m different!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>But by our actions, we tell ourselves and others</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I <strong>HATE </strong>to be different, and don&#8217;t you DARE try to be either.&#8221;</em><br />
<br />
By nature, <strong>ANYTHING </strong>that dares to pull us out of our comfort zones, we tend to fight against&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;until that very thing we fought against becomes <strong>COMFORTABLE</strong> to us</p>
<p>Then we think &#8220;Hmmm, it wasn&#8217;t that bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>All Big People Are Different, and Aren&#8217;t Afraid to FLAUNT it!!!</em></span></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Harland Sanders was different</li>
<li>Johnny Cash was different</li>
<li>Johnny Depp is different</li>
<li>Amelia Earhart was different </li>
<li>Sam Walton was different></li>
<li>Martin Luther King was too</li>
<p>Don&#8217;t never&#8230;<strong>EVER EVER EVER</strong> be afraid to be separate from the <strong>MOB</strong></p>
<p>You may just end up gathering your own</p>
<p>Now, if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I need to get me a new John Deere hat</p>
<p>I think I lost my other one in <a href="http://www.themillionmindmarch.com">Jersey</a>&#8230;</p>

I was watching an episode of &#8220;<a href="http://www.billoreilly.com/">The O&#8217;Reilly Factor</a>&#8221; during a break in an exciting night of hard-work and coffee drinking</p>
<p>Which fits <strong>PERFECTLY</strong> into my non-partisan rant for this week</p>
<p>Ok, so Bill O&#8217;Reilly is coming out with a new book called &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pinheads-Patriots-Where-Stand-Obama/dp/0061950718%3FSubscriptionId%3D19BAZMZQFZJ6G2QYGCG2%26tag%3Dsquidoo-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0061950718">Pinheads and Patriots</a>&#8221; due out in September</p>
<p>This week, he was auctioning off autographed books to 5 people</p>
<p>Matching the highest bid, with 100% of the proceeds going to <strong>CHARITY</strong></p>
<p>(and, Bill, I&#8217;d like to request that all proceeds coming from the mass <strong>WAVE</strong> of pre-sales you&#8217;re about to get from this blog to go &#8212;&#8211;><a href="http://touchstmarchaiti.blogspot.com/">HERE </a></p>
<p>Thanks.  You&#8217;re a <strong>PATRIOT</strong>)</p>
<p>And every night, when the show is about to end, he fields e-mails</p>
<p><strong>LOVE</strong> mail</p>
<p><strong>HATE</strong> mail</p>
<p>Those From: </p>
<ul>
<li>Conservatives</li>
<li>Liberals </li>
<li>Democrats</li>
<li>Republicans</li>
<li>Libertarians</li>
<li>Dogs</li>
<li>Trees </li>
<li>And from that dude wearing the hounds-tooth scarf in the 17th row of the last Ke<font color="green"><strong>$</strong></font>ha concert</li>
</ul>
<p>Well, one of the comments came from a viewer, who was less than <strong>AFFLUENT</strong></p>
<p>I was almost 104% sure of this because of what was said:</p>
<p>&#8220;There you go [Bill], catering to the <strong>AFFLUENT</strong> again.  When are you going to something for the rest of us. I think you should have given the rest of us a chance, and raffled off the books.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beee&#8230;.caaaaause this was more about getting a stupid book than it was helping those in need?</p>
<p>Ahhh, I get it&#8230;</p>
<p><em>(ever notice how people <strong>AGAINST</strong> prosperity try to sugar-coat  selfishness to sound like charity?  Go figure.) </em></p>
<p>Which brings me to the point of this blog, which is centered around this phrase used by the <strong>MOB</strong> to stay in their commonitityness</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never understood this phrase I&#8217;m about to drop on your plate </p>
<p>Nor the utter <strong>NARROWMINDED</strong> thinking of those who seem to use it as a some sort badge of humility and meekness</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a phrase I&#8217;ve grown up on, and have heard family and friends say for at least twice a month, for 25+ years</p>
<p>And, without sounding like an <strong><a href="http://img.gactv.com/GAC/2007/02/28/tobykeith7_v_e.jpg">ANGRY AMERICAN</a></strong>, it&#8217;s a phrase I&#8217;ve grown to detest in my short time on earth</p>
<p>The phrase of the day is:</p>
<p><font size='5'><strong><br />
<blockquote>&#8220;I&#8217;d rather be poor and happy, than rich and sad&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p></strong></font></p>
<p>And&#8230;And&#8230;And as an <strong>EXTRA</strong></p>
<p><font size='5'><strong><br />
<blockquote>I&#8217;d rather be poor and in LUUUUUUUUV&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p></strong></font></p>
<p>What <strong>AWESOMELY</strong> humble and puppy-wuppy things to say!!</p>
<p><strong><i><font size='5'>AWWWWWWWWW!!!</font></i></strong></p>
<p>(is that corn I see in that B.Poop?)</p>
<p>This is one of the most abominable sayings ever spewed out of the mouth of those without an <strong>EXCELLENT</strong> spirit</p>
<p>Or at least a spirit of <strong>PURPOSE</strong></p>
<p>It comes from the mental-minnow who aren&#8217;t <a href="http://www.TheMillionMindMarch.com">MAN GIANT</a> enough to think bigger and who&#8217;s idea of success is being able to plop down on a couch, after a 40 hour JOB-week, and watch &#8220;Fringe&#8221; with a Corona and a bag of Hot Fries, and vegetate </p>
<p>Once again both idolizing and cursing the men and women shining on the Bright-Box, who think of themselves to be more than just a name on a spreadsheet</p>
<p>Those of the few who live by the <strong>MANTRA</strong>:</p>
<p><font size='5'><br />
<blockquote>
<strong>&#8220;I&#8217;d rather be <em>RICH</em> and <em>HAPPY</em>, than poor and sad&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p></font></p>
<p>But the common don&#8217;t think of themselves <strong>GREAT</strong> enough to think in that manner</p>
<p>And, hey, it&#8217;s easy to think that way&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but It&#8217;s <strong>HARD</strong> to bust out of the lack-mentality programming rut</p>
<p>(rut = a long grave)</p>
<p>Which is why there&#8217;s not more <strong>AFFLUENT</strong> &#038; <strong>PROSPEROUS</strong> people</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the AFFLUENT that cause this great nation to keep going</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the RICH who cause this world to keep spinning</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe me?  <font size="4"><strong>GREAT!!!!</strong></font></p>
<p>Slam YOUR BOSS </p>
<p><strong>AKA</strong>: <em>&#8220;That guy that signs your checks&#8221;</em></p>
<p>(know of any <strong>POOR</strong> people employing workers?)</p>
<p>and ask him how much he makes a year</p>
<p>$200,000!!  </p>
<p>WHAT!!!</p>
<p>Affluent jerk!</p>
<p>He should be making only $40,000 like me&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and you&#8217;ll be looking for another <strong>J.O.B.</strong></p>
<p>So love and happyness is <strong>REALLY</strong> all you need?</p>
<p>Tell that to the &#8220;happy&#8221; homeless and starving that the <strong>AFFLUENT</strong> are helping&#8230;</p>

<strong><em>Coming down&#8230;</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>If ya do you&#8217;ll be back on level ground&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>-<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ShWAIaIsiQ">&#8220;Modest&#8221;</a></em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Those words were written by a <strong>PRO-WRESTLER</strong> named <a href="http://m.s11.pollpigeon.com/media/answer/35d8cxt_jpg_350x500_q85.jpg">Jeff Hardy</a> with his band <em><strong>Peroxwhy?gen</strong></em> back in&#8230;..ehhhhh, 2004</p>
<p>The words of this song are <em><strong>DEEP</strong></em>, and something that&#8217;s sorely missing in today&#8217;s world: men and women letting the opinions of others quash their <em><strong>God given</strong></em> skills.</p>
<p>These are the same people that don&#8217;t have the self-image to do anything but flip burgers, turn on the TV, after being at their J.O.B., and try to escape life by watching a magical box full of people who are <em><strong>BEING</strong></em> what they only <em><strong>DREAMED</strong></em> of being </p>
<p>Great people don&#8217;t give a rip what others think</p>
<p>Not what <em><strong>YOU</strong></em> think of them&#8230;and not what I think of them</p>
<p>This may <em><strong>PISS</strong></em> us off to think that <strong><strong>The Great</strong></strong> don&#8217;t care about our opinions&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but they don&#8217;t lose a wink of sleep over it</p>
<p>Perish the thought</p>
<p>All these people climbed to the &#8220;top of Mt. Profession&#8221;:</p>
<ul>
<li>Martin Luther King</li>
<li>Anthony Robbins</li>
<li>Hulk Hogan</li>
<li>Michael Jordan</li>
<li>Joe Schroder</li>
<li>Bill Gates</li>
<li>Sarah Palin</li>
<li>Warren Buffet</li>
<li>Oprah Winrey</li>
<li>Ronald Regan</li>
<li>Barak Obama</li>
<li>The Beatles</li>
<li>Jay-Z</li>
<li>Garth Brooks</li>
<li>Benjamin Franklin</li>
<p>&#8230;and on and on and on
</ul>
<p>Did some of those names bring warmth to your heart?  Good!</p>
<p>Did some of them cause you to start writing me hate letters?  Good!</p>
<p>(it&#8217;s still <em><strong>TRUTH</strong></em>)</p>
<p>And it wasn&#8217;t because they had their high school/college/church buddies tell them what they could and could not be </p>
<p>&#8230;or in a ways that their peers didn&#8217;t <em><strong>TH!NK</strong></em> it should be done</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Come with us.  Walk off the cliff, little lemming, just like the rest of us sheeple.  No, don&#8217;t try to be different.  Different is <strong>STUPID</strong>!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny </p>
<p>(sad)</p>
<p>If you looked at the picture of Jeff Hardy, you may have saw some <em><strong>FREAK</strong></em> out of a teen slasher movie</p>
<p>&#8220;What nimrod would paint his face and dye his hair 50 different colors???&#8221;</p>
<p>The kind that breaks the status quo and in return, get&#8217;s about 20,000 people, who wished they were him, yelling his name, that&#8217;s who?</p>
<p>What was it that you were born to do; that you <em><strong>REALLY LOVE</strong></em> , that <strong>YOU</strong> let either friends or (even worse) money dictate why you could and couldn&#8217;t achieve?</p>
<p>Photographer&#8230;Do IT<br />
(Male) Massage Therapist&#8230;Do IT<br />
(Female) Race Car Driver&#8230;Do IT<br />
Pastor/Rabbi/Priest&#8230;Do IT<br />
Mayor/Governor/President&#8230;Go for IT!!</p>
<p>Just make sure that before you become <em><strong>You, Inc.</strong></em>, give the others a forewarning&#8230;</p>

I was hanging out with a dear friend of mine last week

<p>I was hanging out with a dear friend of mine last week</p>
<p>His wife was out of town celebrating a birthday, and since we hadn&#8217;t hung out in <em><strong>FOREVER</strong></em>, we decided to make it a date night full of Starbucks, classic Nintendo and Arcade video games</p>
<p>Ooooohhhh, the memories it brought back of spending hours and hours of mind-melting waste trying to beat Contra without <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/Konami_Code.svg">THE KONAMI CODE</a></p>
<p>But in between rescuing Zelda and a chugging down a Cinnamon Toffee Nut Latte, we had a conversation of the ever popular and super-exciting topic of &#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>EVOLUTION vs. CREATION</strong></em></span></p>
<p>When we get together, it seems like this subject always comes up, as I consider him as one of the few people that would take an Evolutionist to the woodshed</p>
<p>If there was anytime in my life where I got into a bar-fight over whether a <em><strong>Supreme Being</strong> </em>plopped us on this great planet or whether we all went through the process of going from <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">F</span></strong>ish, to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A</span></strong>mphibian, to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">R</span></strong>eptile, to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">M</span></strong>ammal, he&#8217;d be the one I&#8217;d take</p>
<p>The udderly vast knowledge this dude has would make Big-Drunk-Bob&#8217;s head spin off his shoulders&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, back to the BLOG</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m a pretty simple guy.  I don&#8217;t understand a lot of scientific jargon, and there&#8217;s a good chance if I got into a scientific or religious debate with someone who believes in the theory of evolution, if I tried to play to match intelligence, I&#8217;d be whooped</p>
<p>(but oh how the mind of a <em><strong>CHILD</strong></em> can throw off the &#8220;wise&#8221;)</p>
<p>So, fret not.  I won&#8217;t go into religion or science on here</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been bothering me about the whole <em><strong>MONKEY ISSUE</strong></em></p>
<p>It has to do with a belief that about 3% of the world population embraces</p>
<p>And out of that 3%, probably only another 25% truly ACTS out on, and takes steps to prove themselves right</p>
<p>That belief is that they were put on this Earth&#8230;.with&#8230;.Ahhhhhh&#8230;<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>PURPOSE</em></strong></span></p>
<p>Again, this isn&#8217;t up for debate</p>
<p>I understand there are scientists that have proof of both sides of the coin</p>
<p>Just like <a href="http://cache.gamercreated.com/125-125-scalecrop-files-7139-AlGore_29621_20080420165947.jpg"><em><strong>GLOBAL WARMING</strong></em></a></p>
<p>And the health benefits of drinking wine and FOLGERS</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s my question to the spies of the BLOGASPHERE&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><br />
<blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">Do you really believe so heavily that there&#8217;s no purpose in your life to think that you came from NOTHING?</span></p></blockquote>
<p></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p>You see, there&#8217;s not a thing on the face of God&#8217;s Green Round Ball that doesn&#8217;t have a purpose</p>
<ul>
<li>GRASS has a purpose&#8230;to cover the land</li>
<li>FISH have a purpose&#8230;to provide food to humans, reproduce, and control other fin-swimmers</li>
<li>TREES have a purpose&#8230;to provide beauty and O2</li>
</ul>
<p>And best of all</p>
<p><em><strong>HUMANS</strong></em> have a GIVEN purpose&#8230;</p>
<p>(purpose doesn&#8217;t just&#8230;.<strong><em>HAPPEN</em></strong>&#8230;it&#8217;s <em><strong>GIVEN</strong></em>)</p>
<p>We are the most interesting of all the others, since it&#8217;s my personal opinion, that we were individually <strong>DESIGNED</strong> for <strong>GREAT</strong> purposes</p>
<p>And not just to &#8220;suck someone else&#8217;s Oxygen&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li>Some for politics</li>
<li>Some for business</li>
<li>Some for religion</li>
<li>Some for giving</li>
<li>Some for missionary work</li>
<li>Some for sports</li>
</ul>
<p>But all human purpose is <strong><em>SIGNIFICANT</em></strong> and <strong><em>GREAT</em></strong></p>
<p>And those who come into the awareness of that purpose, will prosper</p>
<p>So, if you were reading this with the notion of going to the zoo to visit your Uncle Bubbles and Aunt Tuna</p>
<p>Please <em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">TH!INK&#8230;TH!NK&#8230;TH!NK</span></strong></em> of what was said</p>
<p>And P.S.: if anyone has the skills to produce me a life-sized statue of Kevin Bacon out of bacon&#8230;I&#8217;ll give you a dollar!! </p>
<p>(I can&#8217;t believe no one else has thought of this&#8230;)</p>

I haven&#8217;t gotten inspired to write a lot lately
OK, that&#8217;s not EXACTLY true.  There&#8217;s been A TON to write about, but everytime I get the urge to do it&#8230;I already forgotten what it was that could have won me the Nobel Prize for&#8230;EVERYTHING!
But, golly, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s never happened to you
You&#8217;re so smrt&#8230;that&#8217;s what <a href="http://paulyschmitz.com/the-coat-tail-visionary" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

<p>I haven&#8217;t gotten inspired to write a lot lately<img alt="" src="http://www.bifsniff.com/images/cartoons/coat-tails.gif" title="Clinging onto Coattails" class="alignright" width="309" height="403" /></p>
<p>OK, that&#8217;s not EXACTLY true.  There&#8217;s been A TON to write about, but everytime I get the urge to do it&#8230;I already forgotten what it was that could have won me the Nobel Prize for&#8230;EVERYTHING!</p>
<p>But, golly, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s never happened to you</p>
<p>You&#8217;re so smrt&#8230;that&#8217;s what turns me on about &#8216;cha</p>
<p><font size="5"><strong> <img src='http://paulyschmitz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></font></p>
<p>Which is why we should always carry something to write with, because:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.themillionmindmarch.com"><br />
<blockquote><font size="4">A life worth living, is a life worth recording &#8211; Joe Schroeder</font></p></blockquote>
<p></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>AND</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
<a href="http://www.esword.net"><br />
<blockquote><font size="4">&#8220;&#8230;<strong>WRITE</strong> the vision, and make it plain&#8230;that he may run who readeth it. &#8211; Habakkuk 2:2</font></p></blockquote>
<p></strong></a></p>
<p>(plus your kids can make <strong>MILLIONS</strong> when daddy/mommy&#8217;s notes get published [see MLK])</p>
<p>OK, there&#8217;s my tangent, now down to <strong>BUSINESS</strong><em></p>
<p>I, by nature, am a loser</p>
<p>Sure, I was born to <strong>WIN</strong>, as <strong>EVERY SINGLE ONE </strong>of us are, yet I was raised and programmed to be a lose</p>
<p>Growing up in my early teens and late 20s, I had visions&#8230;dreams&#8230;goals, as every single one of you do</p>
<p>And I let my (and everyone else&#8217;s) <strong>BUT</strong> get in the way</p>
<p>Dreams of being a lawyer&#8230;but school was a drag and too much money</p>
<p>Dreams of being a chef&#8230;but there&#8217;s long hours in the kitchen and you&#8217;re could never be world class</p>
<p>Dreams of being a <strong><em>MASSAGE THERAPIST</em></strong>&#8230;but I&#8217;m a guy!  I&#8217;d be looked upon as being homo and no one wants a guy touching them </p>
<p>Dreams of being a millionaire&#8230;but millionaires are greedy, and real &#8220;Christians&#8221; don&#8217;t desire the wealth of the world</p>
<p><em>(I&#8217;m not even gonna get started on the last one)</em></p>
<p>There were numerous other dreams and goals that I wished for, prayed for, and believed in, but for some reason or another, they were dashed like raging waters against a mountain </p>
<p>So, throughout my 20s, I had goals, didn&#8217;t think I was good at anything, didn&#8217;t know where my place in life was, and was bitter over the people who made their LOVING a LIVING&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and were getting paid <strong>MUCHO CHEDDAR</strong> for doing so</p>
<p>To say I was frustrated would be an absolute understatement</p>
<p>Until I talked to a buddy of mine&#8230;</p>
<p>I knew his vision, he&#8217;s told me about it numerous times, he&#8217;s written it down, he&#8217;s plastered it on big billboards across Illinois </p>
<p>Unlike a lot of us: <strong> HE IS 150% SERIOUS</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just a fly-by-night idea, but a passion that you can feel</p>
<p>And <strong>BOY</strong> can I feel it</p>
<p>So, I came up with this self-centered servanthood idea of killing two birds with one stone</p>
<p>&#8220;Ray, I don&#8217;t have a vision.  I let myself get talked out of so many things that I just gave up in life.  You have a vision, so if it&#8217;s alright, <strong>I&#8217;D LIKE TO RIDE YOUR COATTAILS</strong>, and help you succeed.&#8221;</p>
<p>I was amazed how taken back he was and excited that he totally excepted that with open arms</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>PS and BTW, I don&#8217;t need intervention, I&#8217;m using a tactic of trust that has been used as a cliche for the past 1+ years.  It&#8217;s called</p>
<p>
<br />
<font size='7'><strong>TRANSPARENCY</strong></font></p>
<p>
<br />
It&#8217;s an <strong>AMAZING</strong> tool, that&#8217;s rarely used, because everyone these days wants to be an ALPHA-TYPE with holes in their hands&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>But, here&#8217;s the point: Some of us where raised to be great, some of us were tired of losing so they flipped circumstances the bird, and dared to be great&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and then there are those of you, like me, who wanted to be great, but were so ground into the dirt by well-meaning people, that we didn&#8217;t know how to be great, or where to start</p>
<p>So we have to <strong>HUMBLY</strong> ride on another&#8217;s coattails/skirt for a while, until we can figure it out</p>
<p>Not to leach off of, or selfishly use that man/woman, and then say &#8220;Thanks for the ride,&#8221; but to be a servant to those people who are willing to let us tag-along for a bit</p>
<p>And even in this time where everyone wants to be an <strong>INDIVIDUAL</strong> (and rightly so), there&#8217;s nothing wrong with tagging along when the person you&#8217;re stapled to has <strong>GREATNESS</strong> on their mind</p>
<p>And as for the massage therapist ordeal, yeah, that&#8217;ll work out in the long run</p>
<p>I mean, really?  What <strong>WIFE</strong> wouldn&#8217;t <strong>L<3VE</strong> her own<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/news/100308/isaiah-mustafa-240.jpg"> private masseuse</a>?</p>
<p>(<strong>*wink*</strong> get the hint, married men <strong>*wink*</strong>)</p>

I was reading a book called &#8220;The Way to Wealth&#8221; by Benjamin Franklin
It&#8217;s a 30-page book, that can be read in under an hour, and truthfully, it&#8217;s like DYNAMITE: short and compact, but packs a mean WALLOP!
Though there about 1000 different quotes in there that can (and in a few hours, will) be TWITTERED by <a href="http://paulyschmitz.com/giddy-up-cowboy-youre-a-poser" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>I was reading a book called <strong>&#8220;The Way to Wealth&#8221; by Benjamin Franklin</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a 30-page book, that can be read in under an hour, and truthfully, it&#8217;s like <strong>DYNAMITE</strong>: short and compact, but packs a mean <strong>WALLOP</strong>!</p>
<p>Though there about 1000 different quotes in there that can (and in a few hours, will) be <strong>TWITTERED</strong> by rip-off artists like myself, there is one that I&#8217;m <strong>REALLY</strong><em><img alt="" src="http://www.angryorcs.com/images/cowboy.jpg" title="Fake Cowboy" class="alignright" width="160" height="140" /> interested in claiming as my own doctrine</p>
<blockquote><p><em><font size='4'><strong>&#8220;Lying rides on debt&#8217;s back&#8221; &#8211; Poor Richard Saunders</strong></font></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting&#8230;</p>
<p>Coming from a past that was filled with materialistic wants to hide my own insecurities, I know what this means</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it true&#8230;</p>
<p>In <strong><em>AMERICA</em></strong>, we can have the Beemer, the ROLEX, the Coach bag, big house, cruise trips, blah blah blah</p>
<p>&#8230;and put it all on a piece of plastic stating our dependency of <strong><em>WANT THIS NOW</em></strong>, rather than using paper and coin to pay for it when we EARN it</p>
<p>Thus, LYING to ourselves, and everyone around us</p>
<p>With the car, we&#8217;re saying, I live a GREAT life, look at MY car</p>
<p>LIAR!!! It&#8217;s not your car. Don&#8217;t make 2 payments and see what happens</p>
<p>The same with the house, it&#8217;s <em><strong>EPIC HUGENESS</strong></em> oozes success&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;until you miss a month on the mortgage, and BIG BANK&#8217;s autodailer is calling you everyday</p>
<p>And the purse, the power suit, the Pomeranian, the Alligator boots, and whatever else was put on <strong>CREDIT</strong></p>
<p>And the <u>ONLY</u> reason the banks don&#8217;t collect what their owed right now? It&#8217;s more profitable to get the interest accrued on the charges</p>
<p>If it weren&#8217;t for that, box up the 45s. and ship &#8216;em to Chase</p>
<p><em>(I do LOVE that bank)</em></p>
<p>Hopefully you have a rare edition of <strong>The Beatles <em>&#8220;Someday and Today (Butcher)&#8221;</em></strong> album that&#8217;s worth a <strong><strong>TON</strong></strong></p>
<p>One HUGE lie</p>
<p>No wonder why the Bible states</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong><font size='4'>&#8220;The RICH ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is SERVANT to the lender.&#8221; &#8211; God via King Solomon</font></strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>~Proverbs 22:7~</strong></em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had to learn it the <strong>HARD</strong> way</p>
<p>Image and <u> NeedItNowness </u> is overrated anyway</p>
<p>Just read about the multi-millionaire <strong>DISCOUNT STORE</strong> tycoon who wore a tuckers hat and jeans wherever he went</p>
<p>God bless that man&#8230;<img alt="" src="http://www-tc.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/wal-mart/images/sam-walton-2.jpg" title="Sam-I-Am" class="aligncenter" width="200" height="150" /></p>
