I haven’t posted in a couple days simply because I haven’t felt right about the things I was letting out. I kept getting sucked back into that dumb Royal crap although I did and will not watch the interview. It is everywhere though. Put it this way. If you can’t find a reason to be happy in Meghan shoes then you have completely failed at life. Completely. So Fuck her and her bullshit. That is how I really feel on that matter.

This used to be a paragraph complaining about politicians. I didn’t like it so I’ve come back to erase it. To summarize it I will say this. I am never donating one penny to any of them. Ever. Please read 2nd to last sentence in first paragraph. That is what I got to say.

Okay now that I have the BS out of the way lets talk being happy. Completely random today, but I came across a video on YouTube that I had to watch. It made me laugh immediately which was what I needed. It is now 5:16 AM, but I have been up since 3:30. I made myself a promise when I decided to do this blog thing for real this year that I would be honest with those that read it even though I don’t want to sometimes. I had an issue with my bowels which forced me awake at 3:30 to which I have spent the last 2 hours cleaning myself and my apartment from this issue. Sucks, but it happens sometimes and it is something a paraplegic has to deal with. Still think your alarm clock is a jerk. I can’t go back to sleep because I have a meeting with a Veteran at 9 AM today. I also promised to bring homemade cinnamon rolls that I prepared for baking last night. A good part of me wants to crawl back into bed and wait for tomorrow. That would be a waste though. I might be dead tomorrow and spending my last day on Earth feeling sorry for myself over something I can’t control seems like a stupid plan.

So I don’t. I let go of the anger and poor me BS so that I can get back to living. The video. So it was of Chris Farley going onto Letterman. Wow. The guy was such a wonderful entertainer. You can just see thru him and realize 90% of his big ass was heart. He had his own demons, but the selfless way he made others smile and laugh using his own body as the punch line. It hurts to be “big” and people judge you even when they say they’re not. The world lost something special the day he passed on. A rare treasure that can’t be reinvented. Many people have tried and continue to try and fill the ginormous shoes left behind by a legend. I have done stand up and it is terrifying. To be so willing to make the world happier by putting on a tiny coat, by living in a van down by the river, and most importantly going head to head with Patrick Swayze in a chippendale competition only to make strangers laugh is so so special. And it worked. Still working.

Take a few minutes for yourself today an watch this video. You’re not too busy to watch it, you’re not that angry at anything and what is the worst that can happen?? You smile for a few minutes instead of writing out another FB post complaining about blah blah or even blah blah blah. Hey I got plenty to be upset about this AM, but why. Why would I allow the negative side of things run my life and most importantly my attitude about life?? Bad things happen sometimes that we can’t stop or control. You can control your attitude and the way you respond to everything. I promise you I will always pick how I respond to the events in my life. It doesn’t matter what you did yesterday or having been doing the last 30 or 40 years. Starting today right now you can decide to just let the BS go, watch a few minutes of a legend making us laugh, and have a great day. Remember everyone has a reason to be ticked off, but the true tough guy/gals look for a reason to be happy. You always get back what you’re putting out so if you want smiles you had better find a way to get one on your face.

I want to be very clear on one issue though. I don’t want or need any sympathy. I struggle internally whether to share some of these intimate hard details of my life and the complications that come with my disability. I hate the word disabled for the record. A lot. I mentioned earlier that I was going to be honest and soiling myself is something that happened. I dealt with it and moved on. I know I harp on this let things go and that is for a reason. It works. I truly hope that my openness will help at least one person say “I’m done too. I’m not dragging the BS I can’t control around with me anymore.”

Here is what I concentrate on. I made it to my meeting, the cinnamon rolls turned out amazing and people liked them very much. Everyone is on a diet, but the people brave enough to try a 6,000 calorie roll were very happy. I sold some products today making some money, I have a gorgeous awesome dog I’m about to take for a very long walk, and I’m alive.

My problems aren’t bigger than yours or more important. They are mine and I choose to deal with them by not letting it screw my life/day up. So whatever it is let it go. Right now. Never look back at it.

I appreciate you all and please be kind to one another. You never know how problematic someone’s life is. Oh and when in doubt or down please go watch a Chris Farley video.

Learning to Fail

I wrote this blog, named it, and then typed the title into BING images. Apparently I’m not the only one with this thought…..

Obama is right. Not easy to say that, but something needs to be done about all the school shootings. It makes me sad that it happens almost every week for some reason and I’m laying in bed trying to figure what the hell is going on?? Plus I can’t sleep for some stupid reason. Insomnia sucks. I did just have a thought though and figured I’d share some of my wisdom… Jessica Alba is hot. Ha ha. Thats the only wise thing you’ll hear from me.

We are now seeing the “everyone gets a ribbon” generation all grown up. I think there is some good in it, and well who doesn’t want their little Timmy to be happy everyday??? Heres the problem sometimes no matter what you do, what you try, or what you say one day life is going to kick you in the nuts. It happens to every single person on the planet A LOT. Rich, poor, gay, straight, black, white, Mexican — EVERYONE. Wait.. When did Mexican become a color???

So what do you do when everything goes ka-poot?? Less swearing Mom. Check. Thats just it. When we take failure out of kids lives we rob them of the learning experience of how to deal with it. It is just as important as learning how to be a gracious winner, and in fact I believe even more important. Learning to fail is a skill that all great leaders, inventors, entrepreneurs LEARN in life. Look at Abraham Lincoln do you think he would have been the same leader at the time when a broken country needed him so badly had he not had those previous life experiences that taught him so much wisdom??? The best lessons are taught through/from failure so if you never learn how to fail, you miss out on a whole lot. Maybe we are seeing the results of that today. Just a thought..

I don’t have all the answers, but I know taking away the guns of people that didn’t do anything wrong isn’t a good one. I know that the mental problems of these kids are serious and need to be identified sooner or we need to find a way to stop creating these monsters. Parents want to “protect” their kids from all the bad, but sometimes we need shit to hit the fan. Just a little at first so you learn to cope with that, and then as you get older the shit gets thicker. It is going to happen. It just does. Drugs are not the answer either. These anti-depressants scare the crap out of me and many of these people that “snap” are on them. You can’t mess with emotions, but you can learn to control them and use them. All of them.

Just because you can’t get a girlfriend doesn’t mean you kill your 3 roommates with a knife and then go on a killing spree targeting sorority girls. What did this kid get taught growing up?? Think he earned that shiny BMW he was driving??? I’m not pointing the finger at his parents, I’m just sharing a thought. Maybe if he had learned to fail, he would have learned to pick himself back up becoming stronger in the process. You know the old saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

It is wonderful times we live in. I’d hate to think it any other way. We have computers, I-Pods, a better understanding of different cultures and each other than any other time in history. It just seems that maybe in our lets all have a charmed life attitude we are forgetting something. Bad happens. I don’t know why, but I do know the incredible lessons I’ve learned from those type of events happening in my life. I didn’t give up, I didn’t shoot 30 people and you want to know why??

It’s simple. My parents and family taught from day one to suck it up. That’s not PC Bucky. It’s not supposed to be. Learning to fail is just like every other skill one acquires in life. You have to practice it. You have to TRY to be able to fail so you are learning two things. Just don’t shelter your kids to much as it can’t be healthy. I see a theme in these kids that go nuts. They are wondering where their charmed life is, that was promised to them?? It isn’t reality. The world isn’t perfect and just because you’re here on planet Earth doesn’t mean you are going to fit in. Sometimes it isn’t easy either. You have to work at it.

You make your life charming. YOU make your life great. You. The sooner YOU learn this life lesson the sooner you will let the bad wash off you like water off a ducks back and focus on the good in the world/your life. Thus allowing you to fit into society and help make the world better, not make a headline for 3 days by senselessly hurting people you’ve never even met.
