It’s a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one’s safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

Lies, Deceit., and Ignored Reality

January 28, 2005 at 8:52 am · Filed under Points In Time

I’m going to pin this in a point in time. Something that should not be forgotten.

Symptoms: * Ignores Reality * Ignores Logic * Makes Emotional Decisions * Overly Promises but Under Delivers * Ends to a Means Thought Process * Hightened Forgetfulness * Quick to Anger * Sharp Finger Pointing

These are just a few of the symptoms of a broken individual. If you encounter these symptoms in someone close to you or in a job place internalize and reflect on how much this or these individuals are writing checks from your emotional bank account. If these people are overdrawn on a consistant basis (and broken people are quite consistant on being overdrawn) you must distance yourself as soon as possible. If you stay you begin to enable their behavior. Doing this lets them continue to stay in control of a habitual process of chaotic destruction. This will deteriorate peoples mentality like radiation.

I have seen this propagation in many forms in the last decade. Beware it, be watchful of it, and know you have the choice to avoid it and get out of its path at any time.

Hurdling Property Management

January 24, 2005 at 8:00 am · Filed under Career

On Friday Jeff and I were scheduled to visit Levine for a first meet. Levine is the property managment firm of the Galleria slice we are considering. Jeff had ownership of the content with the help of Bellissimo. They delivered a presentation plan that we then dressed up (being graphic/layout afficionados) and had AlphaGraphics bring the plan to life duplex, bled, nice paper, the works. Churned out some modified business cards and built a very nice Mac Keynote presentation to keep us on track.

This was the first time either of us have been to a property management meeting. The Levine properties were very nice and we met Sig & Mary. Since our talks are under NDA I’m not going to let the cat out, but I will say it was a great meeting. Very friendly, professional, and courteous. We look forward to hearing from them soon.

One must always remember the traction you can afford yourself if you really work at it,

Spend your life in the eternal bliss of always having something to hope for, something to wait for, plans not realized, dreams not come true…. Make sure you have new points on the horizon, that you purposely create. And at the same time, relive your memories, uphold and cherish them, keep them alive and share them, talk about them.

Make plans and take pictures.
