Another little wisdom tidbit...

Its funny how little thing catch your eye and you want to adopt them into your own life..I think for me the whole spinning out of control that the world seems to be in lends me to look more to the things that I can control myself. I really can't do much about the war in Iraq, gas prices, the price of "cheap stuff" in china, etc...But the one thing I can do is control my attitude and my thoughts..and the way I get new thoughts is get good ideas..

Yes, you in the back of the class....your question was? Where do we get good ideas? I get some good ones from God..

I also get good ideas from other people...People like Louis Pasteur, Chuck Swindol, Chief Mac..Ask me about that one some time?

Anyway here is another one I think is cool..." I will prepare and, someday, my chance will come" Abe Lincoln...So slug on sailor cause remember Chance favors the prepared mind...(who said that?)

cheers

I really don't know who said it? John Paul Jones? Sure wasn't Plaxico. Wisdom tidbits are like sweet grapes or as an old frien once said, "tender nuggets of pure joy."
As far as control goes my friend, you've got to keep it within close enough that he doesn't dare to "take" it. Hurling the wild stuff leaves the opposition the option to be a spectator. Make them swing. Some control is good, and it remains an essential in the game that life so closely resembles. Remember that my friend. Straw hat

Hey Shi Jo...bro come out from behind the buggy screen. Your baseball analogies have always been "right down the middle" sign your name like the "mullet" you are....

I'm hurt; I had no clue you took me as a "right down the middle" kind of guy. So vulnerable I must be. A risk taker rather than a calculated tosser. G-man, am I really that dull..."right down the middle?" I need a moment to re-evaluate my delivery. I may be headed to assignment or worse yet the DL.

My apologies....Shi....In my haste to make a lone commenter feel good, I compromised my stellar reputation for reading people accurately...You are absolutely an artist who paints the corner of the plate..and uses the generous zone given to you by "blue"...This alone qualifies you for the designation of "risk taker" and puts in the starting lineup as long as you don't give up a lot of free passes...
