Don't Tell Me to Stop Over Thinking It!

I was recently asked about what the worst advice I had ever been given.  While there are many specific situations where I've received advice that was pretty horrendous, there is a more general example that irks me to no end.  That is, the phrase I hear often and the advice I've received more than a few times from certain people who shall remain nameless is "Stop over thinking things."  Really? Really? Seriously?

The Truth About Lending

I was on my IGoogle.com page today and one of my many "quote of the day" gadgets displayed a Mark Twain remark about bankers.  He says "A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain."  How true that is.  The takeaway is to always borrow as much as you can when you do not need it, because the moment you do need it, the banks won't want to lend it.

Life is a Blog

I am way cool.  I designed a way cool new blog on Blogger.com.  That means I am WAYYYY cool.  The reason being is because I have more blogs than almost anyone I know.  Even though I do not know very many people, I do know that blogs are very cool.  Blog owners are even cooler.  Especially when the blog owners have multiple blogs.  Not just multiple blogs, but multiple cool blogs. That, of course, is considered even cooler than just multiple blogs.  Blogs are cool as is, but my blogs tend to be cooler than as is.  You know what?  My wife is married to a blogger, which makes her fairly cool also.  She is actually married to a multiple blog owning, blog owner.   That's right, I am a blogger.  Life is a blog ... type it up.
