When is the last time you actually worked for the things you own or partake in? By this I’m not talking about working your little 9-5 job in order to receive a monthly check that allows you to pay for food, shelter, goods, clothing, or services. I’m talking about actually making something or producing something on your own that resulted in a final product. Not that I expect you to have milked a cow, built a house, or gone into the wilderness to pick your own fruit, but when you think about it, we are a society that is extremely dependent on other people doing the dirty work for us and even more dependent on technology to keep us functioning. I must first say that as always,my disclaimer is that NO I’m not opposed to technology or earning convenience, because if I was, I would not be communicating with you through this computer right now.
What I’m suggesting is that we need to start learning new things, continue growing our minds (not just with games or online forums), and stop being so dependent on everyone else to learn facts, research, or do everything for us. We have become a spoiled, ungrateful, and overall unskilled group of individuals who are finding it harder and harder to figure out simple things in life, like communicating with each other in person for example. We are so wrapped up in our cell phones, our mp3 players, social networks, appearance, and social status, that we forget that we owe a lot of our lives to people who actually are DOING things to get us here. Not only do we take these things for granted, but we fail to understand how things are actually made or where things even come from. This is sad and it makes our Nation look even sadder.
For a moment, imagine what would happen if all American households experienced a shut down of natural gas, electricity, or even the water supply. Would people be prepared? Now think about what would happen if we were unable to drive our cars or go online to find driving directions to a friends house. How would we handle these problems? Would we call for help? What if our cell phones did not work? Would we just walk to a neighbors house? Or did we even take the time to learn our way to our neighbors house and have we even taken the time to get to know our neighbors at all? These are things to consider and I think you get my point.
Similar questions like this sound simple, but can be challenging to us and our kids if we do not attempt to remember the small things in life and go back to some basic principles based on common sense. In my opinion, we are small and indeed much smaller than we make ourselves out to be. We boost our ego’s and pretend to be these amazing people with amazing ideas, but often ride the coat tales of other brilliant minds, inventions, and innovators who actually had a vision. So I ask you now, where is our vision? I can tell you that if your only vision is a vision found when on your computer or when watching television, you are going to be in trouble when the time comes to test your natural skills and abilities.
Wake up and start learning how things actually work. Make attempts to step outside the idiot box and learn how things actually operate. We rely on a system that works very well, but remember that many people on this earth have very little and often nothing at all. It is always wise to learn how to survive without things. You already know how to survive with plenty. Make the positive change and pass it along.

Everyone jokes around about the infamous “comb over” as if it is globally accepted as a ridiculous style, so I’ve never figured out how so many guys can wear this hairstyle with a straight face. I have to give it to them, they have much more guts than I do. I am usually the first to say that we should not be concerned with our appearance so much, but when it comes to the comb over…come on! Give it up. If or when I do lose my hair on top, I pray that I will be wise enough just to simply shave my damn head and not put people through the punishment of seeing some slicked over scraps of hair in my last attempt of denial. And why do people who have this hairstyle think it looks acceptable? Will someone please tell me? Why would you leave hair on the side at all? It looks like a clown. Ri-diculous. As far as I’m concerned, the comb over goes in the same category with the bolo tie and parachute pants. Time to stop the insanity. If you know anyone with a comb over, tell them what time it is.
