Happy day before Friday!

I don’t write nearly as much as I used to. I’m way too busy. I wouldn’t say that I’m “overextended”. But I do like to burn the candle at both ends (a lot). Between relationships, music and whatever else I have going on, something must be put on the backburner.

To be honest, I was super excited to continue producing my podcast. Not so much anymore. My attention is elsewhere. People don’t seem to want to get better. They just want to act like a bunch of whiny bitches. Complaining about anything and everything. It’s like getting better isn’t even on their radar. The “victim” mentality is pervasive in our society. I see it everywhere I go. Selfishness to an alarming degree.

People are so sad. Victims of their own stupidity. I used to think I wasn’t any better than them. But now I’m second guessing that thought. I mean, I work my ass off to get better. Every day. I don’t see that in anyone else around me. People are so self-absorbed. What a shitty life that must be.

Case in point:

As I write this, I’m on my way to Vegas for the weekend. I typically shuttle from a hotel parking lot. This morning, the van was full of people. When we got to the airport, the only person (literally) who gave the driver a tip was me. Out of 20+ people on board, I was the only one who considered someone else. It really pissed me off. Not even a “Thank you!” from a soul. Compounding that was a selfish lady who wouldn’t allow anyone to sit next to her. There were people who stood up on the shuttle as we made our way to the airport. It made me sick to think that she couldn’t even find it in her heart to make room for someone else. It’s like a seven-minute ride.

I watch everything (and everyone). I’m always looking for someone who’ll inspire me to get better. It’s rare. But when those occasions occur, it gives me hope that not everyone is a selfish prick.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I can be as selfish as the next person. I guess the difference is, I know it when I’m feeling selfish, and I can squash it rather quickly. It’s those times when I am selfish, and don’t realize it. That’s what I continue to work on.

Process improvement. That’s the ticket!
