This Month's Thoughts...December

  • Not using a turn signal is the most b.s. driving move.  It is literally a signal of common curtesy.  Hey.   I'm coming your way.  To not use one shows a lot about the a-hole driving the vehicle.  
  • Especially when people never use them.  
  • Those people suck.  I know this is judgy, but I've begun to take note of the drivers over vehicles that do not use a turn signal, and by and large, these people are not doing well.  I'd like a bumper sticker, or signal of some kind to say - hey, take a look at yourself.  You don't even have the decency to use a signal to show you're moving over a lane.  That is not hard at all.  If you cannot perform that easy task, no wonder things are not well...
  • It seems like most relationships end badly.  In all the talk of human growth and betterment, it's hard to keep things moving forward on an interpersonal level.  People move away, get offended, break up.  A divisive election steals possible conversational topics.  Conflict and power battles at work get, or a few measly dollars, get in the way the friendship.
  • If we could only be satisfied with enough, not worried about what others have, we would all truly benefit.  But by taking a bit extra, just a few extra dollars, for no big thing, no real reason, just to get ahead, we divide.  
  • No need for this.  
  • The College Football Playoff pretty much sucks.  Western Michigan should be in.  They are undefeated, one of two teams to remain so at the end of the year.  Granted, their schedule was weaker than others: fine.  But, that's not really their fault.  I think that if a team goes through the grind of a season and ends up winning all their games - which rarely happens - if that team is a mid-major, they should be 4th in the playoff.  
  • At least give them a chance against Alabama.  
  • Having a hard conversation is so much easier than the weight of the pre-conversation jitters.  I read a thing that said: Speak your heart, even if your voice is shaky.  
  • So true. Speak the truth shaky voice, speak the truth.
  • Fantasy basketball is better than fantasy football.
