Nuts! I neglected to run down to the Root N Scoot and purchase my lottery ticket for the game tonight. I am now not going to rich, I am devastated, shocked beyond belief. What will I tell all those people that are depending on me, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears and Target. (By the way, Home Depot is shutting down 15 stores nationwide, Congress made them do it).
The average man is always waiting for something to happen to him instead of setting to work to make things happen. For every one person who dreams of making $50,000, a hundred people dream of being left $50,000. It is the new American Vision, the old one (The American Dream of your Ma & Pa) was cremated by the Bush Administration a long time ago.
The wife looks over at me and she sez …. “You actually think you are going to be rich someday?” and I just smile, my best toothy smile, and I reply … “I don’t think I am ever gonna be stinkin’ rich, but I sure wouldn’t mind smelling bad.”
It’s a frame of mind thing.
The golden opportunity most people are seeing is in themselves. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others. As the world would lead you to believe, which isn’t necessarily so. Helping others in itself is a reward, the help of others in your life, is a blessing.
But sadly, going it on your own, often just will not get it done.
Really not sure what the exact key to happiness in life might be. A lot of folks out there, seem to think they have it nailed. I do however know what the key to unhappiness is. Trying to please everybody. So I plug along, each day, I do the best I know how, the very best I am capable of; and I mean to keep on doing this to the bitter end.
If the end bears me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything … If the end brings me out wrong, then a thousand Angels swearing in Heaven I was right would make no difference at all. The sum total of a man’s life isn’t all that much when you weigh it against eternity. I would like to assume that I am smart enough, strong enough, savvy enough, and capable enough to do it all on my own.
But I am not … I need the Lord … People need the Lord.
No shortage of folks who have it all figured out. Dr. Phil has made millions off of garbage like this, Oprah has cleaned house, both of them expressing concisely this type of rhetoric that is basically useless (in my opinion). So I weigh it all, make my own conclusions and come up with my own plans.
Find more ammo for my gun without having to register my name and address.
Learn how to save power and live off the grid.
Find and recognize edible plants in the wild
(but this one has to be close to the house, I can not afford the gas)
Undoubtedly, the biggest falsehood of my generation is the assumption that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. That one quick set of numbers on a Saturday Nite or Wednesday, will solve everything. With virtually unlimited discretionary income, all the ill’s of the world will completely disappear.

Don’t really see it happening, not in my neck of the woods anyway. The first number is twenty-three, the second, forty-one …. Here is another number … YOU DON”T HAVE … Thirty-six.
