Greetings Listers!
Have you ever read Faulkner’s The
Sound and the Fury? How about Kerouac’s On the Road? If so, then you understand the random thoughts of stream
of consciousness. If not, let me have the honor of presenting you your
first experience – in a milder, easier-to-read format. These are my ten
random thoughts:
Do you think the most successful people in the world – the Forbes
500 CEOs, the two-time
Academy Award winners, the
Olympic gold athletes, etc. etc. – are also the world’s morning
people, those who love the sound of the alarm, or even wake up before it
buzzes, those who wake up, cook breakfast, drink coffee and workout before the
golden sun rises?
Try and describe a golden sunrise without using a color – you can’t,
its impossible - you can’t describe a color without using another color or
using an object that is a color, green
is green,
or green is yellow and blue, or green is a tree, but green is not anything
else.
Green, the color of money, the color of greed, cheating greedy
Forbes 500 CEOs. “Once a cheater always a cheater?” And does cheating
on one thing mean he or she will cheat
on anything? Does competition breed cheaters, or does a lack of willpower
breed cheating, an addiction to cheating?
Don’t you wish what you knew now you knew in high
school? There is so much more to the world and to the people in this
world than you ever managed when being “cool”
was the only thing that mattered – but maybe its better being blind, high
school was so much easier?
Easy isn’t always the best, in fact, the hardest path is usually the
best direction to head, but do you think the world’s leaders know this, I mean, they’ve heard the
clichés before I’m sure, but do they really understand it? And do you? Don’t
you think unless we become a part of some global empire, on a hippie-ish
peaceful earth, nuclear
weapons will be fired; there will be a nuclear holocaust? It seems
inevitable. Won’t the world’s leaders will do “whatever it takes?” Don’t be
blind to the tasteless greed.
What if the only thing you could drink was milk, water, and the
alcohol brewed in a bathtub? How miserable would that have been
back-in-the-day? Imagine no soda
pop, no Ocean-Spray, no Starbucks, no Budweiser.
What would you drink with dinner? What would you drink at work?
Work,
work, work. What a negative connotation that word has now. A career is
something different from work; “career” has a positive feeling, a positive
reception from the ears of the opposite sex. But work is something you dread
late on weeknights, have to wake up for in the morning, and can’t wait for
Friday because of.
Friday’s almost here! Maybe I will go see Jessica
Alba in “The Eye” – then again, maybe I won’t, it seems like
Hollywood
’s new horror
flick formula is to put a hot actress, a scary little kid with long hair, and
some flashes of white faces in the dark, and the movie will be scary.
Besides, I saw “Rambo” last Friday and “Lions
for Lambs” on Tuesday at the dollar theater, no real urge to dish out
real box office prices again so soon. “Rambo” amazing, gory, action-packed,
and Sly is a more believable John then you can imagine, thank the HGH
fountain of youth. Anyone responsible for the making of “Lions for Lambs”
might as well sport a donkey pin on their chest and picket the streets with
anti-Bush signs.
There is basically a 50% chance a woman
or African-American
will be the next President of the
United States
. Bet those people
who used to drink alcoholic bathtub concoctions never thought that would
happen.
Just like the ’72
Dolphins probably thought their undefeated-season record would stand
forever. My apologies for another cliché but, “records are made to broken,”
and no one understands this as well as the Patriots
QB Tom Brady. Do you think he is morning person?
