Sorry about my post about Chuck. I have been listening to Tom Hopkins lately (incredible salesman and trainer). He said, "Don't complain about bad experiences or physical ailments. 80% of the people you complain to don't care and the other 20% are glad those things are happening to you."
Which percentage do you fall in?

#40
I noticed today that I have posted 40 times on this blog page (sad username mishap--go to the beginning for the whole scoop).
Crazy things happen when you turn 40. I remember when I had only posted 20 times. Those were good times. When I was a teenposter I used to write about things that don't matter...a lot has changed since then.
Now that I am an experienced blogger, I am coming to an age where I feel validated in offering my opinion (this is a big day for me). Most of my beef with other bloggers is that their blogs REEK with their opinions; as well as sentences like, "but that's what I think and if you don't like it you can sue me or go read someone else's blog." At least I think there are sentences like that on other blogs. Most of the time I can't stomach reading what their original thought was to make it to the disclaimer at the end of the post.
I have often wanted to opine on certain issues and give blanket advice before, but have always felt the check of fearing cliche. Today I turn 41. Today things change.
Don't worry, the same outrageous puns and pointless monologues will still be there. Let me give you a taste of the new flavor (the flavor is called saysrayberry):
A thought occurred to me today: Often people give advice not because they think you need to hear it, but because they want to say it. Edify the teacher by saying with your words and body language that it's a completely new idea you had never thought of before...
...but that's what I think and if you don't like it you can sue me or go read someone else's blog

The Rise of the Cupholders
Have you ever heard the phrase “reinvent the wheel”?
It can be used in several ways:
1 I don’t want to reinvent the wheel
2 I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel
3 Let’s not reinvent the wheel
4 Refabricate the block’s successor
I am actually NOT trying to invent the wheel again; but if I did, I would add cupholders.
Cupholders are the post-modern revolution. You can’t go ANYWHERE without one being relatively close to you. Hotels, houses, boats, strollers, vehicles, desks, couches, recliners, and younger siblings usually ALL possess the capacity to hold whatever beverage receptacle you might want them to. In fact, the empirical data is leaning (if data could lean) more and more towards a world being dominated and controlled by cupholders. Since this is the case, I plan on befriending them, in hopes of becoming a high ranking official in their new regime. My first attempt at this supplication was to have Suzuki add one to EVERY door of their vehicles (commercial), and by suggesting in my blog that they be added to the reinvented wheel.
Happy Holidays, everyone. Remember to throw as many smiles other people’s way as you do elbows in the mall.
