Christmas Epiphany

B.O.B has a song titled Bombs Away featuring Morgan Freeman, whom is the narrator of this masterpiece.

I usually use quotes to set the ground work for the piece.
So this will do perfectly:

"As the war between light and darkness continues
Heroes and villains become harder to identify
Kindred spirits separated at birth
Fighting for their place in time to be solidified
The clock ticks faster and faster
While time runs a marathon in this Babylon
But see, the end is only the beginning
The beginning of the calm before the storm"

So my Christmas Epiphany starts here with this war, which war? The war that has plagued the lives of families in the USA since big box stores dictated when Christmas would start. Now there are other parties - Amazon and Cyber week. The way I look at it with all these companies closing and stores eating the dirt, Amazon is the retail industry savior. If they win this war between them and all big box stores, Christmas might go back to being a family holiday.

I think Amazon being the retail savior is something that could happen. The big box stores have put out of business several chains that have been around for a long time. Malls are closing and being turned into different things or even being demolished. So I think it's time for a hard reset.

I don't know the recipe for acceleration but things like this happen in their own time.
I don't want to be out of a job but I would love for the real meaning of Christmas to shine through once again and for retail employees to be able to have Thanksgiving with their families and not ruined by a 2:30 in time.

I love the retail industry and shopping but the industry needs a complete overhaul. Many managers and associates converse about well it will take the big box stores to all say no more being open on Thanksgiving but they are so greedy and perpetuating this spiral into the lessening of family fibers.

So to sum this up,

"As the mask of deception falls off the face of humanity
Unveiling the grim reality of duality
In which everyone is a casualty, no one will be exempt
Truth has many shades
It's not a matter of black and white, but gray
Although many, we are one, so in the final analysis
Could it be that we are fighting a war that can't be won?"



We need to fight back but how can we when the masses are controlled through hysteria. For the mask to fall we need a savior and that savior is Amazon.

Advice to a Dear Friend

Joshua: "How's work?" Erin: "Can't complain. Running my team today. I get nervous. Learning curve" Joshua: "Oh... Hun, you got this!" “Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.” ― Ryder Carroll, The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future   Joshua: "I'm looking up quotes about multitasking but everyone seems to have issues with it. So my advice is to just focus on the task at hand and move on to the next." "If they need something and you need something as far as learning, just ask questions." Erin: On her iPhone, loves the quote. In my head slacker... hahaha! Just kidding. Erin: "I love your advice. Now that's legit boss guidance, thanks." ...

A Heart Bright Like the Sun

When I came to this crossroad, I met this lovely young lady. She had no face and I could only see her soul. I knelt down beside her and said how is your soul is so radiant? She said when you center yourself, you enter the state of allowing yourself to see all that is good and evil. She was the one meant for me and her soul was as bright as the sun. I took the road to the left and never saw her again. The next day I came back and there was no light at the crossroad but a black heart. What is the moral of the story? This is how I feel. No one is for certain who you will meet at each crossroad of our lives. Don't lose a chance to make something out of each crossroad. Then I picked up that heart put it in the pocket on my sleeve and wore it there for all the world to see. I walked across a tiny wooden bridge where I met a man with no soul just a mangled face. We spoke about the people on this road. We talked till sunset. He said I can give you what you nee...

A Generation Afraid to Fail

Not too long ago I had a conversation with my friend, Professor Robinson of CPCC, in light of the UNCC shooting on their campus. We talked about how students today are afraid to fail and can't handle negative grades or comments. I even get defensive about too harsh criticism but I've failed many times, before. I don't like being told things I already know like I'm in some grand delusion.  Tangent concluded. We spoke on a student that came to him and said, I can't fail, well he was given an option to withdraw from the class and take a W. I've taken a W, it sets you back but keeps your GPA intact. I guess he was in such a hurry to get out he forgot to not party and study. Students are so sensitive now that we have to coddle their personalities because growing up they all got participation trophies from the gaming boards and parents accepted it as okay. "Game theory is a theory of social interaction, which attempts to explain the interaction people ha...
