The makings of a bad day & it's Remedy

What really makes a day bad?  When I really stop to think about this I get confused.  Confused in the sense that any day spent alive should be appreciated for just that, but often times certain days bring  elements to the table that are just plain WRONG.  As much as I try to remind myself that these things will pass, I still find it hard not to concentrate on them from time to time .  This has got to stop!

In order to eliminate this occurrence I've decided that you've got to have passion in your life to make the most of it!  Whether its family, work, friends, hobbies, talents, or whatever you want to add to the list, without passion you lack desire to actually make the most of the day you've already been given.  WHAT A WASTE, and I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty.

This was pointed out to me by my friend Arra Glare (stage name), well not directly, but I knew what he was getting at.  Arra saved the day yesterday.  It twas a "bad day" until he stepped-up to get me out of a BIG hole.  **Thanks Facebook,  for letting Arra know of the situation so quickly!  Your social platform really brings people together!! **  I'm passionate about our friendship, and in hindsight yesterday was a prime example of what I'm talking about.  Even if he hadn't been there for me, at the end of the day I'm still fortunate enough to have family, true friends, work (in progress), talents, and pretty decent health.  These are the things that matter....these are the things to focus on in times of mayhem....these are the things to throw your passion into!! One of my favorite quotes goes like this--  "The best form of exercise is reaching down to pick someone else up". True dat, right?

So the moral of this rant is:  A "bad day" can only be as bad as you let it, and your "bad day" is nothing compared to some of the other ones out there.  So I'm challenging myself to this- - when I see one coming, I'm gunna find something to throw some passion at.  KER-SPLAT...You've been hit by a big batch of "bad day" remedy!

Phone Shots.

My wife thinks it's ridiculous that I love taking pictures on my iphone.  Well, I say you can't stop a force as powerful as my phone photography!!  From time to time I'll be including some of my favorite pics for everyone to see.  Let me know what you think about them.  Here's a few to get us started....

It's been quite a Tuesday!

Tuesday (today) started off with a generally weird vibe.  It's like a sniper was waiting for me to sit-up in bed, and then BANG....you can imagine what it was like from there.  I will say though, there was a pretty darn decent rally late in the day.  Hooray for rallies?  I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm going to leave it included b/c why not cheer for rallies,right?

Seriously though, I had a great lunch at Flip Burger with my old friend Jason Wallis.  In case you don't know Jason, he happens to be a world class photographer.  Check it: http://www.jasonwallis.com  It turns out that Jason is friends with quite a few people that I need to know.  **This is the rally launch**  He was kind enough to offer any assistance he can provide, and I obviously, graciously took him up on the offer.  There will be posts in the future on this news, or at least I hope so!

Next up was a "working" conference call.  Ahhh, we'll just say it was the start of many other chats in the near future.  Long story short is this: Tuesday was a weird one, but cool one too!!

My meatloaf frozen dinner is now ready, so until next time Folks....

On your mark, get set, ??????

Hello, my name is John and I'm now a blogger.  I hope your time spent here is enjoyable, and if you aren't careful you might even learn something.  This will be a building block experiment on my part, because honestly I really want to see what I can do with this space.  I'm not going to promise an update every day, but I will try to keep all posts interesting at least.  Can you dig that?

Well, where do we begin?  **Insert Clifhanger**  Until next time......
