It's a Brizzy World

One definition of insanity is doing a task over and over exactly the same way, but expecting a different result each and every time. For the past few weeks, I should've been committed and placed in padded room. I'll admit my mind hasn't been fully connected at the task at hand and for that I don't blame anyone but myself. I haven't been performing to my full potential and I haven't been taking full advantage of the opportunity that I have been given.

Well it's time to throw the slider when they are expecting the fastball. I have to go against the grain and do things differently to make things happen. It's time to bring sanity in and get away from insanity. After spending the last few hours at work pretty much mindfucking myself and beating myself up mentally, enough is enough. I've got to make things happen to take advantage of the opportunity that lies at my feet. I've got to reach and achieve my full potential.

It is not mission impossible. The task is simple, it should not be made complicated. I may step on some people the wrong way, but that is the least of my worries if I need to get to where I need to be. Tomorrow is a new day... A new day and a fresh start. Time to bring the desire and pride in what I do.

PRIDE = Personal Responsibility In Delivering Excellence.

The minuscule obstacles are an every day thing that we never notice because it does not take that much effort to overcome it. They are the tedious work that always come up when you least expect it or when you are already preoccupied with a task at hand. It normally does not induce stress, but can contribute to an already stressful day. But to overcome it, it is best to keep your head straight and focus at the task at hand. Complete your task one and a time and soon enough, you'll have all your tasks completed and the obstacle has been passed.

The daunting obstacle can definitely put a halt to your day and can definitely induce a high level of stress to you. This is one that consume a lot of your time and patience to find the best way to overcome this obstacle. The solution to it will never be in front of you. In certain cases, you may be to turn to someone to assist you in overcoming the obstacle. It may seem like a simple task, but pride will get the best of some of you. But ask for it when needed. It will help alleviate some of the stress from you so you would be able to get your mind straight enough to focus on a solution.

Keeping your temper in check will also help in find a way to overcome all types of obstacles. Also follow the acronym K.I.S.S. which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. Basically saying don't try to make it complicated because youll only make I worse and hardrr for yourself thus increasing your stress level and further testing your patience.

I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was was halfway through bootcamp at MCRD in San Diego. The DIs had woke us up and had us get into class formation on the quarterdeck of the barracks when they rolled out the tv from their duty hut and let us watch the events live on tv as the second plane flew into the second tower.

It was at that point that I knew things will never be the same. The training for the rest of bootcamp had intensified since we knew that 90% of us in bootcamp at this time knew that we would see combat at some point in our military careers.

The events of that day have forever changed the way we live. I will never forget that day. I will never forget the images I saw of the planes crashing into the towers and the bodies falling down to the ground in shear desperation to escape the firey inferno beneath them.

NEVER FORGET!!

Ok, It has been several months since I've last posted on here. I dabbled in running my own blog on a different site working with my editor. The site fell through, but I still do have an option to pick it back up when I can get a chance to, but I've been a little too busy with other endeavors to come up with an idea for the site. So if any of you have any ideas that would work for me, please feel free to let me know.

Other than that, I've been in San Antonio for a month and a half now for Master at Arms "A" School for the Navy. Since my time down here, I've met and gotten to know new friends that I know I will see again in the fleet later in my Navy career. The heat has finally died down for now and I hope it doesn't come back until I leave this place.

That's all I got for now, I'll be back soon.

I'm sure everyone by now has heard that Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) is now on Twitter. If you haven't, you must be a librarian working in a library or still using rabbit ear antennas on your tv... Get with the times, people!! Charlie has said that he is no longer doing interviews, but is going to turn to social media to express his diatribes, rants and raves to 140 character snippets. Tweeps, like myself, that are already following should heed this warning: "Follow at your own risk!" You must be able to keep an open mind and be ready for anything. If you are easily offended, grow a thicker shell and suck it up or do not follow him on Twitter. He has made a lot of money and spent a lot of money and because of this, he parties like a rockstar because he can and he will. Charlie is a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. We all will never know which Charlie you will get.It's one or the other. If it's both, it'll be one hell of an experience. You better be ready to trend the topic or retweet whatever comes from his mind.

After reading this article on Huffington Post (Click here for link), I'm half tempted to consider not using Facebook until they get their act together. They are pretty much selling your private and personal information to third party sites. Am I the ONLY one that thinks that something is wrong here? Even with your privacy setting set to paranoia level requiring G2 security clearance to be a Facebook friend, your information is still not private to the Facebook brass. Their thinking is, if it's on Facebook, it's fair game. Facebook is free to sign up, but there should be a disclaimer telling new users that now it comes at a cost. The cost of your privacy. Half of me says that Facebook is in business to make a profit. And the other half of me says am I willing to let my posted information to be sold to the highest bidder?

I will leave it up to you... What are your thoughts on it? I would like to hear from you.

It's amazing to see how much our lives rely on technology. I am still baffled at how fast the latest and greatest technology comes out even when you just walk out your local Best Buy or cell phone store. It's like the moment you swipe your card at the register, your purchase is already deemed obsolete. We as a society has been trained by the media and retail marketing institutes that we must have the latest and greatest toys to keep up with the tech saavy technophobes or be left behind the curve.

It just seems like yesterday when I was typing up my high school reports on an electric typewriter and gaining my sources of information from the robust collection of Encyclopedia Brittanica that I had. Nowadays, information is all within a click away. We all have access to Google® and Wikipedia®. Now granted, you may have to dig a little deeper to find a reputable source to ensure that the information you are going to reference from is correct and to include the proper resource for your bibliography.

Advancement in technology has control of our lives. We now panic when our computers or our smartphones break, go out or the battery dies and we don't have access to charge it up. If you get an opportunity to see it happen around you, just observe the reactions of that person.

The first emotion is anger. They will be angry that their piece of equipment has become useless or they are angry at themselves for failing to properly check and double check that they had it fully charged.

The second emotion is dispair. They will not know what to do with themselves. They will feel hopeless and fearful that they will miss an important phone call, text or email.

The third emotion is anxiety. They will have that uneasy feeling and appearance to them. They are worried that they will be left behind the curve.

Once they are able to get their device up and going again, they will feel relieved of the emotions that they went through. They will immediately check their voicemail and inbox for any messages they may have missed.

Technology runs our lives instead of our lives running technology.

It has been a few years since I've been on the sales floor. Now that I'm back, it feels good to be back. It is an occupation that you are able to reap the benefits of the amount of effort you apply. You control the income you make. It gives you that thirst to be successful each and everytime you wake up in the morning. Its a dog eat dog world and you have to be hungry to improve yourself.
