Just Throwing It Out There… December 21, 2007

It’s easy…
It’s easy to get so self-absorbed that one forgets how many others must be going through similar stresses and strains.
It’s easy to lose sight of ones dreams, especially when one perceives the world is set up to extinguish them all (I know… this is hardly TRUTH… but it is perception).
It’s easy to forget what’s truly important, and instead become a slave to what isn’t.
It’s easy…
This time around, I’m going as “Papa D”. I had an interesting thing happen in June. My former boss(es) used my own words against me, and on trumped-up charges, FIRED me from an utterly soul-sucking job which was destined to kill me anyway — a FAVOR, actually. I’m an aspiring scribe, and plan on using my experiences in one form or another — to immortalize these small little ass-kissers, liars and cowards for who and what I saw them as. Since those days, I have dropped nearly 40 lbs and have started a successful bakery with my wife (an endeavor two-and-a-half years in the planning and making). We are financially strapped — I am currently looking for work since losing my original hellish excuse for employment some months ago. We are being bombarded by bills… having utilities shut off periodically… losing out whenever health-care is needed (thanks to outrageous benefits, made available to bankrupt any honest American). But through it all, we are barely making it, and proud of our dreams and our tenacity to make those dreams a reality NO MATTER WHAT.
So I leave you — YOU FELLOW BLOGGERS — with another slice of truth, for whatever it’s worth (perhaps nothing at all). Despite our current leadership in Washington and the percent of so-called “Americans” who voted them into power (God save us all), I wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas.

Wow, just saw a link to your blog through Jon Deer’s blog (The Thinking Writer). Hope you have a better year ahead of you. Happy Christmas, and a Blessed New Year.
Thanks brother.
Life is full of lessons to be either respected and learned, or ignored. I’m trying my best to learn and better myself. I actually have a promising job interview pending in the first week of 2008, so the New Year is looking up, indeed.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and that you also have a Blessed New Year. Thanks for dropping by and offering your support — and best of luck in your endeavors.
