What good does it do you to be good but, not ready???

Optimism isn't guesswork. Optimism shouldn't be left to chance or "accident". Optimism should be "on purpose". #WrightHandOptimism (W.H.O.)

R.I.P. Mr. SUPER COOL Dick Clark of American Bandstand! (1929-2012) THANKS for the GREAT MEMORIES!

Know what it means when a police officer handcuffs a 6 year old girl? Her parents have NO power. (And that a 9 year old boy might take him.)

"Independent" and "Independant" are two different things. One's a word which you can find in a dictionary. The other's not...

I'm not afraid to compliment. (Are you?)

It amazes me to see intelligent people voluntarily depress themselves.

Have you read a typo-free article within the past few years? (Do typos in professional blogging count against branding?) #branding #blogging

That's IT? That's ALL? You're going to say you have a bad memory & do NOTHING about it? #REPEATIT
