The Nucleus Of John Chapman
I’m a bit of an asshole sometimes (frequently?). However, I don’t apologize. I have a low tolerance for bullshit. Some people get more of my patience, even a little more leeway than others. Some get none. But this does not change the fact that relationships are essential in life. Connecting, networking, socializing, friending, whatever you … Read more
So last night I finished reading “The One Thing” by Gary Keller. Yes, it was very late (early?) when I finally got to sleep. I had started this book but got sidetracked. Even at initially starting, I realized this book had serious and meaty value. Even before finishing, I had recommended it to a few … Read more
I listened to a number of new songs today. New to me, but not certainly not new. And very likely even you have never heard them before. However, these are AWESOME. OMG! 🙂 Clarence Carter First up, is Clarence Carter. This was posted from one of my twitter peeps, Sam. When I read this, had … Read more

Actually, I didn’t mean to start the fire. I was trying to do two things. One, do what kids do. Experiment. Learn. Have fun. Two, I was trying to improve the quality of the driveway. See, the driveway was an old asphalt driveway. Lots of cracks in it. And as you well know, cracks in … Read more
I remember that day, as we were both walking to Elementary School. My oldest sister, just a bit over a year younger than me, trying to keep up. I didn’t want her near me. She kept trying to keep up, and I kept accelerating to keep her away. At one point, as I was frustrated, … Read more
There is no doubt that growing up, I was a mischievous kid. To put it lightly. In truth, I was a number of things, at times coming close to malicious. I was raised up a P.K. – a preacher’s kid. NOT a pastor’s kid, but a self-ordained preacher. Along with all the wonderful bullshit that … Read more
Why is it that older people have a hard time being open to new ideas? If you are older, and this doesn’t apply to you – congratulations on being the exception. As I talk and speak with older people, I realize they have a harder time embracing new ideas. Â They have a hard time being … Read more
