least five.

‎the last couple weeks i've been pretty good at taking the time to get out some of my thoughts, show appreciation to the things/people who make getting up everyday a little easier. today, though, it's the opposite approach. basically, this that sh*t i don't like:

john boehner. it makes sense in a world driven by haters that we have one as speaker of the house. i can't even blame netenyahu for the ridiculous of yesterday...

no, wait... yes i can. netenyahu, how dare you come to united states congress and disrespect my president. the bullshit meter on this dude's speech was way past 80 percent enriched. please, now, take your ass back to israel and worry about your job.

consistency. i've been pretty disciplined of late. really good eating, sleeping, exercise habits... but i want to be even better. it's easy to blame the lack of desired consistency on the fact that so many thing around you are inconsistent, which i will do! i want, though, to build a resiliency to what other people are doing and to the things out of my control and find, i guess, some type of transcendent consistency. 

i ran into my former boss, who's now a peer. we talked about the challenges of our position and she mentioned how, in some regards, she's had to lower expectations. unfortunately, i realized she's right.

the next few generations of young people who will eventually be the adults making decisions that impact the world. now, i do see brilliance at an elementary school level several times every hour at work. there are so many bright minds that will be able to one day reshape and create and inovate things that will make the world a better place. i'm just worried about how the current generation of folks that are in charge aren't always setting the best examples, aren't teaching the value of hard work. my hope is that kids take notes from everyone but make the decision to be great‎. i hope they are able to identify things that aren't right and chose a different path. i will continue to try to be someone kids, people can model themselves after.
