No, really, it came like this.

Not everything needs to be wrapped in a 500-word post, but they're still worth a comment or two....
                    
  1. I don't need to recycle my old jeans anymore, now that they sell new jeans that have tears and holes in the legs when you buy them. What I really need, though, is for pre-stained shirts to become a thing.            
  2. When I went to Venice and saw all the buildings standing on stilts in the water, all I could think was, “Who was second guy to conclude that this was a good idea?”          
  3. My bottle of beer has a note on it that says, “Drink responsibly,”  but doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of drinking?          
  4. You get the worst service when the restaurant is empty.          
  5. It’s just a trifle depressing to come across a 2015 to-do list and realize you still haven’t done any of it.          
  6. The problem with most bus routes is that they’re designed by people who never ride the bus.
  7. You can tell how comfortable someone is with public speaking, or how prepared they are, by the number of times they say awesome or amazing.
  8. Why is it that when someone says something nice about a person and I question their motivation, I am being cynical, but when someone says something critical and I suggest there might be another motivation, I am being naive?

Michael I enjoy reading your thoughts. Here’s one: Attitudes are free, we control 100% of it yet so many have bad ones. WTF?

As a rule, attitudes are something others recognize in us, but we seldom think about them for ourselves. I don't know many people who will cop to having a bad attitude, because their attitude filters how they see the world and their reality looks worse as a result. So, they think they are realistic.

I think you're right that attitudes are a choice we make, although our choice often is to accept our default setting. The default setting is a combo of nature and nurture, of course, but it can be changed with some effort.

As with everything else, though, ya gotta wanna.

    Who writes this stuff?

    Dadwrites oozes from the warped mind of Michael Rosenbaum, an award-winning author who spends most of his time these days as a start-up business mentor, book coach, photographer and, mostly, a grandfather. All views are his alone, largely due to the fact that he can’t find anyone who agrees with him.
