Remember the riots in France two falls ago? Well, I just read on AP Newswire that they’re at it again! Here’s a photo taken last night in a Paris suburb of a couple of firemen trying to put out a burning car.
I want to continue my conversation about synchronicity. What I mean by synchronicity is that uncanny way the world has of responding to your desires, interests, and deeds.
I believe it was Lewis Carroll who said that when he got up every morning, he tried to think of at least ten impossible things. Well, this headline is impossible thing number one for me today!
I have this great fear!
You need to know that I am only outwardly socialized. I can pass for a gentleman, even a somewhat sensitive guy. But in reality, I’m basically a human version of a pit bull.
Georgia’s first ING marathon went right by my house! As a matter of fact, there’s a cheering section in the school parking lot across the street from me and we’ve been listening to such running favorites as “YMCA” and Gloria Estafan’s “Turn The Beat Around” since about 7:30 am. (It’s now right at noontime.)
You know I could smack Michael Richards for being such a racist dope. “I’m out there, Jerry!” is truly one of the greatest lines in television.
In case you didn’t watch Seinfeld, Richards’ character, Kramer, decides not to wear underwear one day. He barges into Jerry’s apartment and announces “I’m out there, Jerry…and loving every minute of it!”
After Richards’ insane tirade, I’m tempted not to use this line. But it’s too good! I’m going to steal it anyway.
So, what’s the deal? Well, I finally got my feedburner icon on my blog, and it’s working! In other words…I’m truly out there!
I actually stole that line. Steve Olson, a blogger, who lives in the upper mid-west, wrote that at the conclusion of an interesting and impassioned post he’s written about how we educate (or fail to educate) our children. Click over to his blog right now and read that post. When you’re done, read a previous post about his own problems in public school.
I read Ilker Yoldas’ The Thinking Blog. I enjoy his posts and learn from him. Today he posted about how to get your blog recognized. He’s actually writing about another blog. What’s so interesting to me is that I got a lot of interesting ideas about promotion from him, but I really disliked the blog he was referencing. Now, I disliked the blog because I can’t stand cursing online. That may be just my own quirk (or maybe my mother actually raised a gentleman!). My dislike of offensive language aside, read the post! It has a lot of good ideas!
One thing I want to do with this blog is to review books that I read. This might be problematic, however, because I read over such a wide spectrum. Other than the suspense and science fiction that I read, I also read business books, self-help books, history, and books on various aspects of religion.
I ran across this at Guy Kawasaki’s blog. This is an article about a book published by psychology professor Carol Dweck. According to the book, Dweck looks into why people fail even though they may have the skills and talents required to succeed.
