Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I’m posting on company time.

The Bible, The Quran, The Baha’i Writings, I’m not burned out on them, but when you read from them everyday, they kind of get repetitive and lose some of their “wow factor.” I think it’s hard too, cause when you read them to hold a mirror up to yourself, to hold yourself to account, it’s hard often to not feel like you’re failing terribly short on a daily basis. I’m a very flawed man and it’s so easy to be angry and sad these days, so, so easy. I gotta find ways not to.

So I’m reading other things, like Epictetus and a Marcus Aurelius, Pema Chodron, Attar’s “Conference of the Birds,” on I can go. Authors and books that touch on the same subjects and themes, but from new perspectives to just try to keep things fresh and keep me motivated. Twitter sucks as a source for positive energy. I might just use my account to quote passages and throw them out into the world a bit, not really expecting people to see them though.

I think this year’s MLB Playoff format gave the underdog teams an unintended edge, and I’m okay with that.

I have more to say, maybe on my lunch.
