Learned: The NFL offered millions to charities of the players’ choice IF they discontinued the Anthem protest. Tax cut happening, so in the world of opportunity, time to get rich and form corporations. Inheritance less taxed in six years. LL Cool-J is 49. Q-Tip is the Artistic Director at the Kennedy Center.
3. The courage of others. People who do the menial jobs. Self-portraits. 3.
Seems: Like the NFL blew it by offering $, now even if the players were willing to end the anthem protest, they can’t without looking like they’re giving in. After four years of structuring event registration in CiviCRM, it seems like there’s still a lot I don’t know. Like the inheritance tax law change not taking effect for six years is especially strange or I just don’t get it. Like people need you to reach out to them.
Altering Habit(s):
Let go, make it easy.
Seek out and pursue opportunities for TRUE REHAB.
CREATE Daily, regular reading time
Allow excitement.
Look at Game, calendar daily. DON’T Miss even ONE DAY! (I need to work on this one)
Have breakfast of what you feel hungry for.
Continue to for the National Anthem until the police are sorted. Communicate Clearly what the protest is about.
Let go for now: Get in touch with Colin K for an “is it working?/what’s next?” inquiry.
Create a structure for having days where I don’t buy something.
Look at what I wrote for new habits last time. Copy and paste if you can’t remember.
Read this every day, modify and comment.
Note: If you start a conversation, have a way to remember that it’s still active.
Follow up on intended conversations.• Embrace community
• Never wear uncomfortable shoes
• Have fun with pictures and words
• Find unseen self-portraits and feature them here
Accomplished: Read chunks of Tax Reform. Talked/listened to young RR, he needed it. Gave him “bring peace to it.” Built 95% of the annual members’ meeting registration. Set up VO station (mostly) including new power supply. Spent some nice moments reviewing some of the work of a very good man.
Thinking about: LL Cool J: Artist. Super proud of him.
Q: Did you own any of LL Cool J’s music?
My Answer: I have a cassette of the album that has “Knock You Out” on it. I would drive around Portland, Oregon in my little red convertible playing that tape really loud, if memory serves. When I would try to rap, I would imagine myself living in his body.
