How America Messed Up Its Kids… And How We Can Fix Them

Teenager: “Please, Mom and Dad, just let me do this, and I promise that I will take full responsibility for it.”

Parent: “Do you realize that taking full responsibility means that if it backfires and goes wrong, you will own up to it, pay back whatever it takes to make up for it going wrong and learn from it so that it doesn’t happen again?”

Teenager: “I didn’t agree to that.”

Parent: “Well, then what do you think taking full responsibility means?”

Teenager: “That if it goes wrong, I will say, ‘I’m sorry.'”

New Year Resolution Review

Okay, lets review what I set to resolve last year.

Vernon Resolve to Gain 5 pounds.
Vernon Resolve to have no overdraft fees & have a stable financial year.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t gain 5 lbs, this morning I was 196 & I don’t know how much I weighed last year. According to a post on 03/02/V3.1 I hit my goal, so there.

I did have a stable financial year, I’ve paid off all my Credit Cards. Paid several $100 on my student loans. BUT I took out more than I paid in. It’s okay though, because I graduate from college. I did blow the overdraft fee.

How did you resolution(s) turn out?

Happy XXMI

So far XXMI is a wonderful & joyous year. YES I know its only 8 hours & 53 mins into an 8,766 journey.

The Longest Journey begins with the 1st step

, which is an ancient Chinese proverb.

So far lets see what my 1st are, yes I’m 31.206 & I still get 1st.

I had a special (moments) with someone.
I was the 1st person to sing at Crescent Moon(RAISE THE ROOF), I sang ‘I Touch Myself’

There is still 99.74% of the year, PLEASE make the most of it.

Have a wonderful day.

Lionel Richie – Hello

Lionel Richie’s Hello was a top 10 hit. It was actually a number one hit for him.

Apparently people have proposed to their special lady friend after listening to this song. I can see that, although the proposal in How Do You Know was PRETTY darn good.
