Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
Hey, so to change the subject for a moment: after months of dithering, I just bought an iPad! The problem is, it won’t connect to my wireless network, and I only get the AT&T 3G service if I’m literally sitting next to my front windows. Do other people in Park Slope have trouble getting AT&T service?
Detroit will learn a very sorry lesson from that invitation to New Yorkers. This is the law of unintended consequences. In 5 years time, Detroit will be a bed bug-filled city made up of neurotic and paranoid people after nothing more in life than their next Starbucks.
“bxgrl, seek first to understand, then to be understood…”
*sigh* I try, IJ, I really do. Sometimes it’s a losing battle (The being understood part, that is). 😉
I’m 52, a bit older than most on this OT, so many folks may not remember the commercial I am about to reference.
About 25 years ago, alot of the cola companies at the time (Pepsi and others that have since passed away) used to run alot of TV and print advertisements. Invariably they all ran along the same line: “Ours tastes better than Coke!! Try it and you’ll see!!”.
Coke ran one ad that wiped them all out. It was simple ad. It featured Bill Cosby in a close-up. He looked into the camera and said: “Why do all these companies compare themselves to Coke? There must be a reason”.
Likewise I say: if I’m half the things that folks above state I am, I have some simple advice for you then: don’t deal with me.
Have a great day all!

“I AM BIG. It’s the bedbugs that got small.”
I run out of that building and I see… the sky. I see all the things I love in this world. The work, the food, the time to sit and smoke. And I look at this pen and I ask myself, “What the hell am I grabbing this thing for? Why am I trying to become something I don’t wanna become when all I want is out there waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am?”
