Daily Dose of BS July 14

Christian Lopez…may not be a name your familiar with, but I bet if I say the guy who caught the Derek Jeter 3000th hit ball I’ll bet you know who I am talking about.  Now this guy Christian catches the ball and then gives it to Derek Jeter with out wanting anything in return…a ball that could be worth 500,000 dollars.  I have done some soul searching since this has happened, and wondered if it was me that caught the ball would I have returned it to Jeter?  I really do not know what I would do if in that situation, the money would be nice, but I am guessing that the benefits that are going to fall on this young man are far going to out weigh the half million dollars that he could have got if he sold that ball.  Not only that but I think that Christian Lopez is a stand up guy who has a great future ahead of him.

I am listening to Bob and Sherri while writing today's Daily Dose of BS and the song “Ya had a bad day” by Daniel Powter (see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPHo72HjzYc ) is on the radio right now, it got me thinking…Don’t we make our own destiny?  You could be dealt lemons and you have the choice to make it lemonade or to be sour about what cards you were dealt.  I am a firm believer that we reap what we sow… if we are happy and show our happiness we will have a happy better day than if we are constantly bitching and moaning about how bad our lives are… so buck up Sparky and have a great day.

I have always had a high tolerance for pain.  I went to “boot camp” fitness class yesterday and it kicked my ass.  I hurt in places that I didn’t even know that I had muscles.  I have never been the Adonis, always been a big boy, but in the past 2 years I have been going to Snap Fitness and doing the circuit weights and the cardiovascular machines, I figured it was time to step up the excising…and do a “boot camp”…I am looking forward to the next class, that’s if I can get out of this chair.

I think that dogs should be in the back seat and restrained while in a car.  I saw a dog on my way to drop off a kid at an event, Dads taxi service is another topic.  While driving to drop off my daughter at softball there was a dog pacing in the car in front of me on the back ledge of the car, now being a guy i said to my daughter wouldn't it be funny if that dog pooped in the car.  That got me thinking that it was a distraction for that dog to be walking and thus could have caused an accident, this is why I think that dogs should be in a restraint...it still would have been funny if it would have pooped.

I don’t know about you but when I cook I plan for leftovers on a daily basis that way I have lunch.  I have planed-overs if you will everyday.  I am not a guy who likes to have a pb and j that is a good snack but not a lunch.  The reason I bring this up is I like to cook with spice and almost on a daily basis I have someone say wow who is trying to ward off the vampire or some smart alex comment on the amount of spice I put on my planed-overs, in fact one of the guys I work with eats Ramon noodles for lunch everyday and when I first started here he warned me that my garlicky lunch better not wreck the taste of his Ramon… I told him that it can only improve his lunch.  He has yet to complain.

Weird how you get used to something as small as a cell phone. I forgot mine at home today and wow do I feel lost without it. Crazy how you use your phone for everything from talking on the phone to checking Facebook and emails to recording the important things you run into with the built in camera. If we carry a phone we are tethered to the world, we can be found and find ourselves. I hope I don't forget my phone again.

Motivation….what motivates you?  I am not sure what does me.  It depends on the day, some day’s it seems as money is the motivator and the next the family, the job, or the promise of relaxation, the outlook to the weekend...on short weeks I tend to look more forward to the weekend.
