Hot Head

Mark usually went home for the weekend but didn’t last sunday so Me, Chuck and Mark decided to hang out in trinoma. I was late around 30 minutes. I didn’t tell them but I was nearly in fight before I went to trinoma.
Suffice to say this blog post Isn’t about my near physical altercation with someone. Nope this isn’t
Let’s see, I am a fairly introspective person. I have the tendency to over analyze things.



The warrior has memories, but he learns how to separate the useful from the unnecessary; he disposes of his emotional rubbish.By Paulo Coelho

And this was no exception. It made me try to remember all of the times that I was mad or in rage. I tried hard to try to remember those times, because I had a hunch that I did not learn from past mistakes that I was repeating myself.
I initially thought that Iget mad easily but this is just a lie I tell myself.
The truth is when I get mad I am most probably suppressing something more painful, something that I continue to lie to myslef about. This rage eventually bubbles up and is unleashed on something that I have no problems feuding with.
Taking the long view my moments of rage are separated by months to years. The problem is I end up feuding with the wrong people and only adding people to my ignore list. This cannot continue. I cannot continue to lie to myself about painful things. I have to face these harsh realities and learn to heal myself. I must learn to let the hate go. I cannot change people but I can change how I react/ineract with them. I can be a better human being. I can be the calm in the middle of the storm. I’ve made inroads in this personal quest, but it seems not enough.

Willing To Pay The Price

Willie Brown, Asomugha’s position coach who is among the greatest defensive backs to ever play pro football, credits Asomugha’s work ethic for his development over the last five seasons.
“He is dedicated, and he’s dedicated to be great. I tell all the defensive backs, they should have Nnamdi’s work habits. He will do anything you ask, and he is willing to pay the price to be great.”

Eric Musselman’s Basketball Notebook: Willing to pay the price to be great.

We can say this about what most of us want.
For me I want to be happy. Some people dream of being rich. Some people dream of finding true love. Some people dream of doing great things. Most of these things are within reach, only if YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE!.
This is where all the get rich quick schemes, the ponzi scams, the seduction seminars step in. They try to make you believe that you do not have to pay the price, that you have a way to get things for free.
Repeat after me:  THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES!.
And this is what we must do. Before we even start thinking of what is the best path to reach our dreams, we must gather enough resolve to decide that we are willing to pay the price!

The Food Paradox Of Our Time

List of countries by percentile of population ...
Image via Wikipedia

It is one of the larger paradoxes of our time that the very same food policies that have contributed to overnutrition in the first world are now contributing to undernutrition in the third. But it turns out that too much food can be nearly as big a problem as too little — a lesson we should keep in mind as we set about designing a new approach to food policy.

Wow Great Article from Dave Winer ! Is the panic over Detroit real? (Scripting News)

wow, can’t say this enough: We Are All In It Together!

….
In online discussions people say we should let the companies fail — they scare me even more, because they don’t understand how much our lives depend on each others. That was clear in New Orleans after Katrina. They couldn’t re-open the restaurants not because there was no demand for the services, there was, but because there was no place for the staff to live and no way to get the supplies they needed. And you can’t bring in the workers to rebuild the city without places for them to eat.  Permalink to this paragraph
Civilizations take a long time to reboot after a crash, so you must do everything you can to avoid crashing, but this one seems to be willful, we have the means to prevent it, but for some reason we’re too stupid, collectively, to stop it. Permalink to this paragraph
….
Fact is, we all live in New Orleans and Detroit, and we’re going to learn that in this country, but it’s going to be a very very painful lesson, apparently. Permalink to this paragraph

Where To Find Girls??? hehehe

Q: What the … your buddy JackO is getting married? And you chose to just drop that on us with absolutely no set-up? I don’t know where along the line of listening to the podcasts, I developed my fake relationship with JackO, but I did. I was psychotically 100 percent sure that we would have a chance meeting where he would be really impressed that I knew who he was, and we would get married. I’m really disappointed. In both him getting married and my life in general.
— Claire, Atlanta
SG: You know how women fall in love with serial killers, write them letters and eventually marry them even though they’re on death row and can’t consummate the marriage? Suddenly, that seems a little less strange.
Q: Is it possible for a heterosexual woman to have a man-crush on a guy? What would you call that? I have a man-crush on you.
— Michelle, Atlanta
SG: OK, what’s going on in Atlanta? Do we need to send some more men with a sense of humor between the ages of 25 and 40 down there? To answer your question, a heterosexual female cannot have a man-crush on a heterosexual male. It’s just a crush. You might rationalize it as a man-crush, but deep down, you want to jump my bones. Of course, you live in Atlanta, so apparently any female fits that category. I think Atlanta is the new San Francisco — just horny, successful, fun-loving women looking for love and questioning their self-esteem on a daily basis. I feel totally comfortable making that generalization after two e-mails.

Note To Self Need To Learn How To Write Academic Papers Like Prose!

Back in 1998 I argued that the Bank of Japan needed to find a way to “credibly promise to be irresponsible.” That didn’t go down too well, but it was what sober, careful economic analysis prescribed.
Or as I said in the linked paper,
The whole subject of the liquidity trap has a sort of Alice-through-the-looking-glass quality. Virtues like saving, or a central bank known to be strongly committed to price stability, become vices; to get out of the trap a country must loosen its belt, persuade its citizens to forget about the future, and convince the private sector that the government and central bank aren’t as serious and austere as they seem.
