Me: "Argh! I have so many problems!!" They are all first world problems. You aren't close to starving... In fact, you could stand to eat a bit less.... You have all your limbs and no one is dropping bombs on you. Me: "But there are so many problems!!" You have two problems. Neither of which are as big as your ego. [A conversation that took place inside my skull today...]

I joined a new FB group today and this is one of their first rules: "*Zero tolerance for negative posts or comments of ANY kind. This group is not a free speech forum. If you have problems, we have solutions. If you need to post negatively, find somewhere/someone else that tolerates it. This group is ONLY for success, people after it and people achieving it!" I think I am going to like it.

No WiFi yesterday and today. Tomorrow off to see a volcano. Sort of been informed by (pick a name) to take it easy for a day or so. Relaxation and contemplating my intentions for the future.

That awkward moment when the guy who's FB Ads I've been critical of, makes a super nice, intelligent comment of one of my posts

Maybe too harsh, but this is how you go from being 'unsubscribed' (a three or four click process) to being marked in GMail as Spam (a one click process)... "Stupidly Simple Marketing

Scott's Sacred Cow Soliloquy: There are 'Sacred Cows' in the world that no one better speak against, or else... In the '60's, the Establishment was horrified as thousands of college students protested sending their friends to Viet Nam to be physically and emotionally scarred for life. The vets when they returned were not welcomed back as heroes. The youth saw the war as it was: US Imperialism. In the 70's and 80's, the US tried overt and covert regime changes as the CIA went to work in Central and South America. Next the establishment used the fantasy of two planes knocking over 4 skyscrapers to impose a new order. And our brave men and women went into Iraq and Afghanistan and Yemen and Somalia and Libya and ... It created this bulkhead mentality that everyone outside North America wanted in. People want a better life. They usually don't migrate in huge numbers unless someone (I'm looking at you...) drops 30,000 bombs on them. There are 127 MILLION Mexicans. Do you think you could keep them out if they really wanted to get in? Costa Rica has no army and so far they have done fine. Of course, there is a huge difference between CR and USA, but I wanted to point out that not all countries are armed to the teeth... Somehow, we have been brainwashed into equating the Freedom we have in the USA, Canada, Europe and elsewhere as a result of drones targeting children in Pakistan, bombs dropped on hospitals in Yemen, WMD in Iraq being dismantled (They are still looking aren’t they?). It is beyond ludicrous for me to imagine that occupying Afghanistan results in a safer USA. Those guys don’t want to leave and come here. They want the US army to leave while they stay there. And let me put an exclamation point on it with a friendly reminder that the bin Laden’s were Saudi, best friends with the Bush’s, and closer than close with Saudi royalty. The Chicago Tribune says 4 people were shot dead and 8 wounded Friday night. Just think if all those smart, young military men were back in the USA putting their minds to work on turning Detroit and Chicago into the next Medellin of the world, instead of blowing up $20 tents with $37,000 missiles. Your freedoms are under attack from within, America.

I am thinking of breaking the rules and getting a phone! I want one with a really good video camera (1080hd), fits in my hand so I can type with my thumb. Not locked so I can use local SIM cards. Any suggestions?

Ever think of going to #Colombia? I am so proud of this new #Udemy course which I produced. Even if you never go, it is worth it to see the sights I filmed in #Medellin. https://ift.tt/2NrDuxp

What does it mean when you don’t want the fancy car, the huge house, the Armani suits, 5 star hotels, but you want clean air, clean water, peace, organic food and the top MacBook Pro? 😆

“maybe. But I always believe problems start at home. Lack of respect and responsibility is a learned behavior that starts at birth. Social media encourages conflict. But parents have already taught their children that it’s normal long before a phone comes into the picture.” I read this comment. My first thought was, “how do you know the parents are wrong?” “Starts at birth?” Like when the doctor slapped you? Bwaaaa, hey, doctor, that wasn’t nice! You show me more respect.... bwaaaah.... Does social media encourage conflict? I am sure the Middle East predated FB
