All right, now down to business. The other day I was sitting around and started to wonder "what is it that is really missing from our yard?" We have new grass, plenty of flowers and plants and all that crap and then it hit me... no not crap... an idea.
A wise man once wrote a Bud Light commercial that said "A home isn't a home, without a Gnome" I just could not agree with that any more. My home, just isn't a home, without beer. Thank you Bud Light.
Which leads me to my next thought ... There was a time in my life when I was a cocky bastard. I know, it may seem so hard to believe. Want to know what changed it all? Honesty! I don't expect you to know what I mean, but stick with me here. No matter how much I tried to be that quick witted, trendy, over-confident guy, it really just wasn't me. I took a step back, looked in the mirror and realized, man, I am gaining weight. But then I thought, "Wow, I have no desire to be that guy." And why not? Because I am NOT that guy. I am overly nice and I don't want to change that. I am not a good salesman. I am always going to be the guy that can't fight the urge to help someone. I still hate those damn door-to-door solicitors. I will never receive those magazines so get the hell of my porch!
One year ago I was unemployed. I never had a job I liked. I was sick with stress. The whole honesty thing fixed it. Well honestly, I'm still working on it much like everyone else. But it doesn't change the fact that I decided to figure out who I really am and use it to my advantage rather than trying to change or fix it. Can't fix something that isn't broken. To use one of my many special metaphors, before I was a hammer, but I wanted to believe I was a shovel. It wasn't until I accepted the fact I am a hammer, that I stopped trying to dig and figured out what I was good for.
Don't worry, the metaphors get better!
