Had drinks with a good friend of mine. I have much respect for this guy.
We talked about making compromises in life.
He taught me that meeting half-way is rarely the best solution.
Half-way results in half-satisfaction if all parties involved are passionate about their interests.
I'm not about to apply that yet.
We will have to sit with more drinks this weekend and break it down further.

How It Began - Male Circumcision
Ever wonder how some routine things today got started?
Sculptor #1: Massa, I'm tired of being a sculptor. I'm so good at it, it's not fun anymore.
Sculptor #2: You are so full of yourself. I can't stand it when you run your mouth.
Sculptor #1: When you are good at something, you just know it.
Sculptor #2: You've only been working with wood and you think you have skills. Try your hands at something else and we'll see if you are THAT good.
Next day.
Sculptor #1: Hey! Come check this out. Look what I sculpted last nite.

What Do You Trust?
Just because it is written doesnt make it true.
Just because it is being said with passion doesn't make it an absolute fact.
Trust your intelligence.

In A Different Style
Lucky me! I got an invite to join in on the 11's. Being as nice as I am, I'll flash it in a different style, with 5 things about me.
1. I will stop and ask for directions in a heartbeat! I won't waste my time driving around in circles contrary to what society says about men.
2. You will be sooo proud of me if you ever take me to a buffet restaurant. Oh yes! It will be money well spent. (But not to the extent that they kick us or me out for eating too much).
3. Despite #2 above, I really do not care about food. A meal a day mostly works for me.
4. Wet spots near my zipper when I walk out of the restroom don't embarass me - easy to catch water splashes from the sink due to my height. ("What were you looking at?" would be my question)
5. I play soccer for pleasure but can't stand watching it. 1st game I ever watched from start to finish was 2 world cups ago.
