Saturday 9: Against All Odds

Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Against All Odds

1. Have you ever tried to rekindle a past relationship against the odds?
Yes and it didn’t work.

2. Do you like your job, or daily routine?
No, it is boring! I sit around all day and go to meetings at night.

3. Do you find time to 'smell the flowers' so to speak?
See the above answers. I have all day to smell the flowers.

4. Do you have any problems thinking of things to write about in my blog?
Well first off, I don’t write on your blog. But I write about the questions that you ask on your blog and yes, sometimes I have a hard time answering the questions.

5. Do others consider you well organized?
No, just an organizer.

6. Do you always have a “Plan B” just in case?
Plan B? What, in case I get run over by a truck? Or in case the stock market crashes tomorrow? Or if I run out of milk for breakfast?

7. How do you find yourself adjusting to new situations?
Poorly. I have a little OCD in me, I like the status quo.

8. Are you happy with where you are in this point of your life?
Yes, except I would like to find something to do during the day. I’m too young to go to the senior center and play Setback all day and too old to go looking for a job (The unemployment rate for over-55s is at the highest level since 1948) .

9. Do you find the aging process we all go through easy or difficult?
See above.

The unemployment rate is ridiculous. I saw on NBC News that over 50 white male only has a 33% of ever working again...

Bud, and if you think those unemployment numbers are high, the trans-community unemployment number is 50%

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
