Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler
SELF EMPLOYED
I been sitting here thinking, and I think peole who are self employed have the best life. They do not need to worry about people greesing the rungs as they climb the latter to success. They make their own rules, have their own codes of hono, and do count on anyone else to build them up, or have to dread having everything they built knocked down by a recking ball from someone higher on the ladder then they are. Being self employed allows you to have total control without hurting anyone else.
I remember when I worked in a restrant in the early 1980's. I had 2 bosses a man and his wife owned it. He was very easy to get along with. His wife on the other hand was hell on wheels. She was wound up tighter then a 2 dollor watch. I remember the day my knee went out at work, and I called the other dishwasher to come take my place. Then the owner said to call and tell his wife so I did. She insisted that i stay and finnish the day. LIKE AND IDIOT I did it by the end of the day my knee was swelled the size of a cantalpe. If i had know she was going to screw my over as bad as she did in the end i would have left and went to the hospital adn drawed compasation on them. Thing is they gave mne my first real job out of high school so I felt some loyalty to them. YEA self employed people have it all.

BEEN BUTTERFLY EFFECTED
I am sure we all know what the butterfly effect is right? If you do not it is the theory that the beating of the wings of a butterfly can cause great changes in the weather millions of miles away through the things it sets in motion.
There are so many ways to be butterfly effected and I am sure we have all felt the power of this phenomena sometime in our lives. Life is so random sometimes. Like the year my nephew died some friends of his had come to the viewing, and on the way home they dot in a car crash adn were both killed. We found out about it the next day the day of my nephews funeral service. It his friends had just left for home a few minutes earlier or talked a bit longer at the funeral parlor before they left, they would have missed the car that hit them and still be alive.
I have recently found myself in the middle of an emotional rain storm. The funny thing is like a real rain storm clears away all the dirt and pollen , this mental storm has cleared away most of the things that kept me from seeing clearly. When you see more clearly you can shed so many negative things in your life. The weird thing is the storm must have taken the fog in my head away too. I feel like my personality has been given a good shower, and I notice things that used to upset me ( NOT SO MUCH NOW). Anyone who does not like the changes in me, keep it to yourself that is your problem not mine. I like the change in me.
Meritocracy
I just read (another!) story about how a belief in a meritocracy was not only false, but bad for you.
The next time someone tries to sell you this idea, ask them about their preference in heart transplant surgeons: the one with the highest skills, or just some guy from down the street.
A STORY I WROTE FOR FUN
The kingdom was ran by a strong king, and in the fuleness of time it had become a safe place for those who saught sancuary there, but as time went on .the once kind ruler became a harsh dictator. He consorted with those that sought his favors. The kingdom no longer respected the king. He advocated the thrown in the kingdom he had built and left for a new land taking his consorts along with him. His kingdom was taken over by his first knight, who became the new ruler. The subjects were loyal to the new king, and were happy to be rulled by him. His strong will and clear head allowed the kingdom to rise back to greater glory then it has under the old king. Everyone in the kingdom respected the new king and would have followed his orders without question for several years. One day a new person arrived in the kingdom. A conning bonnie wench, who quickly engraiated herself to the king and his consort. This allowed her to gather much welth, and power from the king's favors.
The favoritism to the new comer did not go unnoticed by some of the kings loyal subjects. They tried to get the king to see the cunning of the new comer, but he web she has spun around the monarky blinded them to her true nature. One day the king left for a vacation, and left his lady in charge of the kingdom. In his absence she made many changes to the way the kingdom had been ran. Some were good some not so much. Some of the subjects were happy under her rule, others became discontent, and again the foundation of the kingdom shook. In time the discontentment grew. Some of the vilagers left for new lands, some stayed and remained loyal to the thrown. The kingdom went through some rough times, there were doubts as to w if the kingdom would survive. Luckly for the kingdom the true king returned and when he saw what had happened to his kingdom in his absence, he knew he needed to make changes to assure his subjects that the kingdom would go on and be stronger then before. He saw what was upsetting his people,and set about to put an end to the problem. It took a few more years, but the kingdom again rose like a phenix from the ashes of the disillusionment that had befell the kingdom just a few years before. And they all lived happily ever after!
