This Week's Thoughts...3

in
  • How are so many people so douchey?  I don't get this.  Almost everyone I've ever met likes it best when people get along and are kind and civil, yet when it comes to putting this into practice, few seem able to execute.
  • This is especially true when it comes to money.  There are a lot of times when I wish money didn't exist.  For this paper, gold, or gold backing, people go to great lengths to screw one another.  We compare ourselves, not via what we can do, not through our general happiness or good graces, but by the bigger number in our accounts or possession.  
  • Last Week Tonight is a great show.
  • I'm extremely proud of my wife, Jessica, and the award she won.  I've been with her for a while, and have see the dedication, talent, and positive attitude she takes to her career every day, and to see her being noticed for this is great.  She won a major award this past week, called the Mover & Shaker award, given out by the Library Journal, which is a major deal, a real honor; she doesn't brag a lot, and would say something like 'it's cool', but not emphasize just how big of an honor it is, so I'm very proud for her.
  • That's, probably, what a husband should do/be.
  • Spending time doing things you like doing is a lot better than doing things you don't like to do.
  • Non-alcoholic beer is not very good.  I tried some of it this week, and it leaves a lot to be desired.
  • Which I shouldn't have been very surprised by in the first place.
  • After Michigan State's loss to Middle Tennessee last week, I mostly blamed Tom Izzo; namely because he sat Deyonta Davis - a future NBA player on the bench instead of playing him in the second half.  I even posted my blame of Izzo of Facebook; I feel slightly guilty for that post.
  • I'm much more of a sucker for cheesy slogans than I'd care to admit.  Like, I read this poster that said something about dreams are actions that haven't been taken or something like that, and as bad as I want to poke fault at that thing, it's pretty true.  I even felt inspired enough to do some things after that slogan; but man would I feel like a doof if I put that thing in my office.
  • Podcasts are great.  
  • As is exercise.
