Ladybugs

My parents were 10 years apart in age. My mother remarried again with a 9 year difference. My brother married with a 7 year age difference. Does that age difference matter? At what age in life does age become a non-factor in relationships? My mom and pops showed the age difference. My brother and sister-in-law haven't shown it; yet. So, should a 27 year old have any desire in a 37 year old, beyond physically? The question is can it work? I have seen how it doesn't work, but could it? 10 years isn't the so-called generation that we exist in. But is a different part of that generation similar enough? Should I feel inthusiastic about her because she acts my age? Am I being paranoid because, in my situation, it hasn't worked before? I could love someone 10 years apart, because I know people that do. But should I even pursue it, when the uncertainty is on both sides of the issue? I would love to pursue her, but understand that the mental hangup of the age discrepancy could easily void the entire topic.

Game Shows

Everbody loves the game shows. Price is Right, Who wants to be a Millionaire, the Dating Game, and maybe, just maybe, even Deal or no Deal. Mine as a kid was Double Dare. Who could resist Marc Summers, or the woman who helped in every physical challenge. Can't think of her name right now, but I was in love with her. I think it was maybe Suzanne. My afternoon delight was Double Dare. I raced home from school to see the slime and the physical challenges. I was hooked, so much so that I wrote the local fox affiliate to tell them so. Letter, after letter, no response. I soon began to become an angry 10-year old by the name of Jeff Bosimann. Then, finally I began to receive a couple of satisfying, yet discouraging letters in response. They never wrote back to Jeff Bosimann, but they did write back to me. Now I want to win the lottery. Not the physical challenges or the double dare questions.

What makes our country different from the world

I heard the comment recently that we are becoming, or have become a socialist country. How can a sensible person believe that. I know what that is dirived from however. It is the same to say that we are self loathing war mongors. So which party said each statement? Does it even matter, everyone knows. These are extremes that America isn't. Our country is great because of our great diversity in opinions. I don't believe gays should marry, but who is to say that I am right? Every issue in America has the privaledge of being argued amongst ourselves. What other country has the explicit right to freedom of speech? We exploit that right to the fullest right of our democracy. What we sometimes ignore is the right to be open-minded toward issues because of our two party system. I vote Republican, yet I love to listen, and hopefully be convinced of the other side of the issue. Republican vs. Democrat, is the way we have leaned in recent years. Everyone should lean toward the Democratic process that we enjoy. Debate over issues as mundane as property tax exemptions, is what the founding fathers wanted. Express yourself without compromising yourself as an individual thinker. Don't stay the party lines because you think you have to, vote on the freedom of democracy.

the sad state of current affairs

politics, politics, and murder. That is the headline material that I see on a daily basis. That becomes and has become the daily norm in our society. Negativity. As an interested American I want to know when the ceremony to welcome our troops home occurs. Show the good they did in their 18 month deployment. but I don't see that angle. politics has become our divisive force. The current voices in our wonderful democracy have become jaded in their political viewpoints. Show a viewpoint that is openminded and willing to see both sides of every situation. Negativity rears it's ugly head in any and every political forum. I want to see the positivity of what America does and what we can do. No more political gain for the right to hang on to the seat that they hold. America wants, and needs, true politicians. Those that care about us, and want to satisfy us and not be concerned about 2 or6 years from now. Politics is emotional, but it shouldn't be. Politics is divisive, but it shouldn't be. What is it that makes us the greatest democracy and country in the world? Our ability to bitch and argue about issues, and to have the ability to decide every 2 years. Vote the way you feel and not by a political agenda.

The sales spin

So I was offered a 100,000 dollar a year job. Should I complain, yes I should rant now. What is money in life without the satisfaction of life? Could I pull in that 100k, yes I think I could. Would I feel satisfied in that job? No. I have a great background in sales and consider myself to have learned that from one of the greatest salesperson in America. He could sell shit to a plumber, ice to an eskimo, and air to every American that crosses his path. What makes him great however, is that he only sells those products because he believes in them and will stand behind them. What I encountered in that interview for that job was uncertainty. Unknowning what the product was, and why I should believe in it. "We don't want previous sales experience", he said. Why I wonder. The product remained elusive to me after an extensive search on the internet on what I would be earning 100k for selling. If it is a product worth my 100k a year why haven't I heard of it or can not find out anything about it? The numbers began to fly from his mouth, yet he couldn't calculate them without help from a calculator. I already knew them myself. He was selling me on a job, not a career or a product I could trust. The training program he promised would show me his technique and right me of my previous techniques. At that point many would still hang on to 100k, me a little. But, the refusal to show or explain the products, gave me a wrong feeling about him. I told him I appreciated the time he gave me and told him I would have to think over the opportunity. Am I nuts you ask? No, I want to know what I am getting into. Then I learned through friends of mine of the arrogant and iggorant ways that his sales staff have treated people. I love sales and want to get back into that, but I don't want that reputation when he "retrains" me of my previous sales experience.

At a crossroad of being mentally challenged

I have gotten to the point in my short lifespan that I feel that I am in a bit of mid-life crisis, so to speak. Albeit at the age of 27. I don't want the 2.5 kids, 2.5 cars and the house in the suburbs type of lifestyle. I want the life that challenges and creates intellectual abilities previously unknown to me. I want to be tested as a person. To go into something not knowing the ultimate outcome, and wanting that challenge. 9-5 is fine for most, but not for me. I want that drive that makes a wall street trader get up at 3:00 in the morning to learn the data that no one else knows. I want a life that I am driven to succeeding in. I want the opportunites to create an environment in which I won't have to vent my frustations here. I want a passionate lifestyle, one that can be rewarding personally and professionally. A lifestyle that I could die tommorrow and not regret what would have been. It is a difficult point in my life to feel unsatisfied in my accomplishments, yet feel that I can accomplish so much more, given my abilities. I am not sure where my journey will take me, but hopefully it will end in a satisfaction that I gave whoever my best possible product of myself.
