Musings

Celebrities... If you've known me for any length of time you know I'm not a media whore and I hold utter disdain for all things popular. I've come face to face with several celebrities and I ignored them like they weren't there. Even if I liked the particular actor, I wouldn't dream of bothering them.

The only exception was when I worked in a Bar where Augie Meyers was playing. I bought him a beer, shook his hand and thanked him for his music and that was it.

I'm so sick of hearing about the woes and poor decisions made by friends and family. You know, when I fuck up, I kick myself in the nuts, learn from my mistake and then I don't talk about it again. It's bad enough when I replay my screw up over and over in my head. I don't think that hashing it out for attention and sympathy is going to do myself or anyone else one iota of good.

These days when someone gives me shit, goes off on me, or does something that really pisses me off , I don't stew about it. I immediately take action and demand to be treated with respect. Life is too short for "I shoulda woulda said this or that'... just fucking do it. A coward dies a thousand deaths...That is about the truest statement I've ever heard.

If I could give one piece of advice to anyone young or old...here it is...don't take no shit off nobody.

You might have to bide your time if it's a cop or a judge but you are better off standing up for what's right because getting the shit kicked out of you is usually a lot better than the inner turmoil caused by not doing anything. A predator can smell easy prey a mile away. Don't be a willing or compacent victim whether it be on the streets or in the bosses office.
