Is Legacy Greater Than Currency?

Would you rather have a million friends, real friends not Facebook friends, or a million dollars? It's an important question to think about. What if you could get everything you ever wanted with the help of your friendship resources, your network resources and not have to worry about money to gain societal leverage? Would that make a difference in your life? Would you rather feel a genuine connection with others or would you rather have money to feel in control of that connection to others? What would you use the money for once you garnered it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you want to then communicate something, do something, speak something, push some feeling or some sentiment outward to the world around you, whatever it may be (heal the sick, end poverty, make people kneel to you, listen to you, buy from you, comfort you, whatever)? If you absolutely needed money to communicate that, then wouldn't it be the money really talking and less so you actually convincing, persuading, or connecting something genuine with the world?

So, in so many words, is your social equity more important than your financial equity?

Just something to think about.

"It's Kind Of A Funny Story"

Hippies Have Christmas Too

Have you ever bumped into someone, somewhere at somepoint in this random walkabout life only to find out that you may have, or could have, known that person in another life? What if that same sense of familiarity actually stemmed from someplace real, some place tangible, someplace familiar, let's say...like college? I suppose this happened to me, but more so in the ethereal online "community."

The other day I stumbled across a sweet website in my meandering quest to browse for last minute Christmas gifts for fam and friends. Suddenly I happened upon a website that sells "hippie headbands." Ordinarily I'm not the type of person who sports hippie regalia nor headbands or any sort, but I definitely appreciate the people in my life who do. So I thought, why not?

Then I saw a picture. Then I saw a face. Then I saw a style and rad fashion sense that seemed so cool and swanky, yet stylishly earthy, and yet still so damn familiar. In my head the verbiage went, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" but I quickly batted it aside. Word to the wise: If you ever have thoughts that even remotely resemble a really bad pickup line, immediately shut them up and take a nap. So I closed my browser like a good boy. Then I opened up my facebook account and checked my daily messages. Guess what I found? Lo and behold, a super rad, cool female whose swagger was "swanky, yet stylishly earthy, and yet still so damn familiar."


Maybe I have too many friends because I can't keep track of them all.  Then again maybe I just have way too many "facebook friends." ...Anyway, it turns out this girl and I are both alum of the same university. Obviously we must have attended at the same time. That's a big 12 school for ya!

Yeah well, here's my point; if you're in the market for a crazy-cool "hippie headband" you should definitely consider buying one from this girl. If nothing else I'm sure you'll beef up on your yoga poses just from getting to know Megan for about two seconds. Guaranteed. Judge for yourself. She's a very chill, easy-going spirit. (That's always my qualifying standard for which I make no compromises. If you're not chill, please step away from the Daniel. :) ) Plus, apparently she's into long walks on the beach, hippie headbands, flying saucers, yoga poses, and scuba diving. So be cool. Buy a headband. And remember: More often then not, we're all pretty much "friends" in this world.

Dope New Blog: Graceful Indulgence

Just found a dope dish blog on the fitness journey of 28 monster days. Most impressed by her "vegan protein" concoction. It's almost like she's a mad fitness chemist or something. I think I may actually try her vegan protein shake. Do you see any powders with crazy, nasty aftertaste? I don't. "Just berries and juices." Hmm... 

Breakfast – Infamous vegan protein shake, berries, 1/4 banana, 1 piece of pineapple, melon and cantaloupe. Water.

Bloggity Overhaul

Yay for less scrolling! At the moment, I've beginning to change things up a bit with my baby-blog. While I don't spend much time on it, I'd still like for it to look fairly tidy. Ever wonder how certain webpage designs can just become a huge eyesore when they're too busy? The game plan it to try fending off some of the clutter in my life, and with it comes an extra shedding of mind junk.

First Flash Headlights: Then Honk: Then Roll Down Window---------> Yell Like Hell!

So I've decided to make a few changes around here. I'm going to dip my toe in the pool of the blogosphere once again. I might get guerrilla nasty or I might be pretty bird polite. Although I believe my demeanor probably falls somewhere in between. Either way, I suppose there's nothing to lose. Let's get it.
