IN YOUR SHOES
I am trying to do my best, in the face of Waterloo. Going to war with myself. You see we have made an election promise, and now its midterm elections for some. And now we have to tweek our message, not saying: " No more war. " But am putting an emphasis on the facts. Bin Laden is dead. Iraq and Afghanistan. Done with that. Putting Hawk Talk on mute. So now we need to find some jobs for the kids. Put them through college, then pay them $10 to answer phones and push some buttons.
Didn’t fix the potholes and bad roads in my neighborhood, but kept the children out of the bars and jails. Well, sort of. Changing the drug laws in some states. Children at Risk can move there, or camp just across the river in those border states. Life without borders and GSP. Keeping track of you, but not in the way I thought I would. So now I am starting over. Imagining myself in your shoes. Lose the Me-Me-Me state of mind. Involves challenges, but I can do it. Keep saying that.
I am doing my best to get my head around this. "No more war." Cutting the defense budget. So where does that leave us. More jobs. Bring the boys home. Give them something to do. Its time. Don’t want to make this a baseball blog, but just reading. And here is a partial quote. From McClendon, the manager of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. Not a perfect quote, is hit and miss. Lot like what they do from the top down. President. Club Owner. Management. Don’t expect it to be perfect, but let it stand. This is my final word on the subject. "Until it isn’t."
McClendon’s basic words. "Are we short in some areas. Yeah." And goes on to give details. "….We’re banged up a little….. been dealt a tough hand, but we’ll deal with that." And here is the part I really like. Makes my day in Clint Eastwood style. McClendon said,
"….We’ll bluff our way through it and in the end, we’ll be just fine."
So that is my message for today in this blog. "In the end, we will be fine." And to get my head around this compromise, I had a long talk with somebody I really trust about this." Haven’t talked to this advisor for a year or two. Just pulled the plug. Was disenchanted. Dude President into his second term, and haven’t seen the jobs or the troops home yet. Oh they maybe be standing right beside me, but then these days I have to not notice who is carrying a gun and who isn’t. In your shoes, and so I was looking for a safe place to stand and make a stand. So I chose In Your Shoes to be.
Hoping others can steady me. No War. Been a long time since anybody said that to me. Not that I don’t believe you. But is my plan to take you at your word, not be disappointed no matter how it turns , and hope for better roads, and things like that. In the end we will be fine. But of course I want to be fine now. Everything is about now and instant gratification. Want the baseball team to win now. Yankees are doing that. Seattle Mariners are not. And am choosing to walk, and not fix another flat tire. Bad roads. Not a smooth ride.
So want to introduce you to my new voice. Call her WhiteStone or StoneWhite, or just go along with my inability to name names and be perfect. In the end we will be fine. Remember that and don’t call me on my crap and inability to be more better. It will happen when it happens. And so I talked to WhiteStone and StoneWhite about this. We agreed. We would try to handle our business for another year.
Will deal with the disappointments and how we invested a lot of time in all this, and are not truly satisfied. Will deal with it. Will talk among ourselves and help each other with the way it is. Is what stonehead and whitestone have agreed to. And will be the first to say, its not helping with the things that really are
in my field of vision.
Went to a baseball game. Cold and Windy. Team lost and gave me no reason for optimism. But then I remember. I hedge my bets. Have a $20 radio subscription package for 2014 and no matter where I am, can listen to baseball on my computer, provided I am in range. And most of the time I am. Around in a life without borders. Making it happen, but not in the way I expected to when I was in my 20’s. But like they say, "Grow up." And I did.
And realize its never perfect. Its often not even good. But you learn to wait it out. Figure out what the cycle and the ups and downs are. Market adjustment and make due. And during your time of leisure, have a little fun. Block out what others are doing. Get in Your Shoes. Walk it off. So that is what I am doing. Saying over and over, "In the end, we’ll be just fine." And add to that the current slogan. No War. Tis all have to say.
Well, not really. But is all I have to say without you with me. Need a friend. Need you. But like I said. Its not the way I thought it would be. Me without you. So as a compromise I will call my friend. Somebody I really trust about all this In-The-End stuff. And now its my turn to listen. Comments and in conclusion. What’s it like for you. Today. In Your Shoes.

A stone like the heart of God fluttered deep inside. I heard it and a bird flew by and stopped along the empty beach. Both of them fluttering. Long white beach of stones... and God.
ReplyDeleteanonymous works for me. can't name names but I recall the passage from silence to conversations that changed my life. now and then. Is a comment that makes sense to me, in an empty beach kind-of-way. He thanks you. Because he can.
