Planting seeds for the future (generations)

So I met with my Financial Advisor this morning. If what he says is correct, it is amazing for me to think about what I am doing. See my me sacrificing today just a little bit, 40 years from now and along the way, I will be able to do things no one has ever really been able to do before. What we're talking about is making sure that if I needed to I would be able to help pay for my grandchildren's college. When I stop to think that the decisions I am making today will empower the generation that come behind, I am awed. See my family has always been able to pass down strength, and family, and perseverance. But when I stop to think that I may be able to change my family view on money and education, help cast a vision for what they can achieve. I even play a role in shaping how they relate to God, and their view on marriage. It's kinda scary the call that has been given to me. I still am amazed He chose me. I wouldn't have.

Don't scare the ponies

Okay so I have a new philosophy. And while I can already hear people yelling at me, give it a chance. So far I haven't heard any complaints....

Women are like ponies. If you are fortunate,  you can walk over to a pony and feed them sugar cubes or carrots, brush their hair, and take them for a walk. However, it you make a loud noise, you can startle them, and they will run. You may even get trampled in the process. Women are similar in regards, that you have to 'be easy' when you begin talk to them. Be calm and don't make any sudden moves or loud noises. Loud noises are things like "Where is this relationship going? , What are we?, or How exactly do you feel about me? Too much pressure, too soon. Be easy. Get to know each other. really get to know each other. And keep your friends and peoples out of it. A buddy smiling from the shadows or asking even simple questions might as well be a gun shot. So don't scare the ponies.

FYI -the same can be said about men too!

Nothing in my life is ever easy. I assume that there are people out there, where blessings just come to them. Me? I have to work my tail off. Nothing is easy. And to all you super Christians out there thinking, "Salavation is easy," guess again. The decision, the answer to the call may be easy, but the life is hard. A constant challenge. A war between good and evil.  Trials may be for my benefit, but the fire is still hot. I'm sweatin' like an eskimo in Houston in July.

Bad Advice

Harpo: "What am I gonna do about Ms Sofia?" 
Seely: "Maybe you should beat"     -The Color Purple

If you haven't seen the movie stop what you're doing right now and go watch it, but this si what happens....Ms Sofia promptly whoops Harpo's tail.  I bring this up becuase I walking home last night and over heard A woman telling a guy "Whatever you do, don't marry that b****!"  It amazes me hw much bad advice is out there. People speaking from their own perspective and vantage point from their broken lives. You have to consider the source. Asking someone who broke about financial advice or someone who has a messed marriage about relationships is madness. Stop!

I will update more frequently. Promise.  I have also started a myspace page, but I have no idea what to put on it. (myspace.com/clyde_nyc) it might mirror this page. not sure yet.
