Effort Really Counts.

Again!

Nice try.

Effort Really Counts!


I guess.

Do you?

Guess.


About. The Swing. The Swinger. The Singer. The Roundabout. Direction of beneficial determination?


Depends on which side of the road you find yourself driving on.


I suppose. To the: Many.Few. Most? Or does it Depend.Depend.Deepend. Where you are, where you sit, stand, where you toss “things”. How much cushion you have on the back end. How do you define “things”. (Caveat-People are not things”,) Medical, Psychological, Physical “parts” of things as you may wish them to be. As you define them, to be.


Before you choose(which is a freedom(s) which arrived you here today, I only suppose) to define a thing as an intangible “part”. It best behoove you, and then the rest of us to “understand” your hurt. Before passing it on, rolling, and enveloping your hurt in, and in the name of Justice.


Let’s call it grade inflation for starters.


Lady Justice would most assuredly not approve. How is it you do. Approve? Do you have the courage to admit it.. I have serious doubts. Past history has a way of sneaking up on us, like a grimace and a bad wrinkle. Let’s call out grade inflation for the train wreck, bubble bursting, down the drain mess that it is.


It is what it is. Awfully awful.


Uncertainty as to where you lay your hat at night. But. Crossing lines is crossing lines. Figuratively. Literally. Factually speaking. In any one Spin City there is spinning going on.,to what degree it is dizzying depends, depends and deepends. How will any of us know unless there is truth somewhere in there. And vice versa. No matter the vice. No matter the verse-a. Trafficking is traffic. In any Spin City. And traffic is bad. On every level. In every city, every Spin City.


Attatching to another's, others’ purse strings takes Authenticity, Bonafide Authenticity. And is un-becoming. Projects a lack of trust. In those in your circle. It begs the question. Why are you there, doing what you do. Are you prejudice? Don’t care for the neighbor… Just askin’. Worst of all. Emits an un-becoming vileness, a hatred that is best not sowed. In the end, in each of our own ends, we each reap,what we sow. . Intention matters. Even if and especially when it is anger.


Admitting a problem is the first step toward fixing it.


Perhaps you had your reasons which sadly turned into excuses. Odds are it finds you behind the wheel, God forbid, on the roundabout swinging and missing. On the road to nowhere.


“Do it til it feels good” mentality. Could get us all killed and have us running head first into one another on the roundabout. There are no short cuts. Especially. No pay offs. No matter who prophesized to who or whom. No matter who we think we are. Perhaps that was a routine in your world for you to “get ahead”. Good for you. Great for you.


Believing in something one cannot touch is tough stuff. “Getting real” about our stuff”. Is tough stuff. We learn as we grow there are some super-natural thinkers out there—willing to share—His, their life. With us. And not with an insistence we all must buy into “changing the conversation” when given a platform not yet adequately earned and completely deserved. Or else. What.


A bit of over-confident and arrogant behavior. We are all guilty at times.Believe in it or else. Or else. What?


But that is the problem. To speak on behalf of the “least”. We need to remember what it was like to be least liked. Prior to “spouting” off our belief in knowing better.


Arrogance or Anger? A word mix-up of mumble jumble. While on the platform of conversation, and words that tell us what to do based on “what you think”. We implore YOU. With your platform of “responsibility” like good ole supernatural Spider-Man of our youth.


”With power, comes great responsibility.”


Did you forget, project, or reject?


Jusy sayin”. Because. You. Did. Too. Just said what you thought. What confidence did you think you earned that gave you that freedom right? Just askin’ about what your perception of Freedom. Is. Perhaps? Saying whatever? Just askin’… Out Loud. To the many of us color blinded folk. Who trust. And Now. YOU. Must ask. Did you deliver on your promise or were you just too angry to. Deliver on your promise. Or were you so angry you could not, did not,


See straight.


Absorption has its challenges. Acronyms too. Shorten the word. A wise person once shared with me. Words don’t mean people mean. Acronyms shorten a word. Providing more space most assuredly on the roundabout road to nowhere. Driving under the influence of an influencer. A DUI. Or a DWI.?. Driving while intoxicated. Both have their challenges. With direction of: Heading backwards in the roundabout road to nowhere. With power, comes great responsibility. And. We all ought to resist the urge to preach something we do not believe. In a roundabout way, left, right, whatever.


Just asking’….Again. In case you forget and forgot.


Which card you decide to play—the sports, the drinking card game, the race card, the nerd card, the cool card, the creed card, the deed card? Ugh. None. Are a card I like to play. Not a game I like to play. Or plan to. Play. Not much of a gambler with persons, places or things.


May I respectfully ask what I shall do now? While decisions are still the freedom of choice? If taking liberties was the way to go and effort really counts. Am I going round and round on the roundabout too with you? On the roundabout road to nowhere? Hanging on to your shredding purse strings.


No. Thank you.


Was the color card, the easiest? One to play. Because of your experiences, it was a “slam dunk”. How’d that work out. Do you feel good about it all? At this point, we all hope so. Again. Just ask in’. Do you think we teach your children, “well”. To be color blind. Or perhaps, do you feel, “Oops” is the best way to move forward. Again. Just ask in’.


In changing the conversation, did empowerment overtake common sense and the mistake of changing our most precious commodity. WORDS. The wise person who once shared with me that words don’t mean, people mean. And are mean. See what I mean?


That is rather conversationally ballsy of you to take on changing the conversation. Will give you that. However, ballsy not followed through on is simply.


A coward who never asked for help for their anger.


Good Lord. Have we all forgotten the simple act of constructing a sentence? Perhaps. We never learned. Due to our “circumstances”. More on that later. As we grow, learn and become. Better. Especially if and when effort really counts.


My apologies. We could all do our selves well by sitting down with a good book. A great book, how about a published dictionary. Call me a nerd. A great starting point at the least. Words is prudent. Words are prudent. I ask you to indulge this intelligently written book for writing in your best interest. While you still have the freedom to choose to read, what you choose to read.


About. The swing. The swinger. The round. The roundabout. For the sake of this discussion. (Not the liquid, sake, the person sake, the thing sake) Here is a better life lesson. To ponder as you see fit.


The Vet. The Vet. The Vetted.


The person, the place and the thing of it all. All come to us in different and difficult ways. The beauty lies in knowing it when we see it. There are no shortcuts. No payoff. No cutoff. It is what it is in its most beautiful, color blinded straightforward way:


Veterinarian- A noun. A person. AKA a veterinary surgeon or veterinary physician. A medical professional who practices veterinary medicine. They manage a wide range of health conditions and injuries in non-human animals.


Before I continue the beauty and the awesome word usage. My hope is you get the significance of this word fact. Before your next trip. To the pharmacy. To anywhere for that matter. Your freedoms have depended on it. On this. Did you even know? Nature lovers? Have you appreciated the sacrifice? Of the animals for us. Or perhaps you were too”busy”.A veterinarian plays a vital role in animal reproduction, animal health management, conservation, husbandry, and breeding and preventative medicine like animal nutrition, vaccination and parasitic control as well as bio security and zoonotice disease surveillance. And prevention.


Important to remember, Animals are not verbal. Cannot “talk”. Is that why we use them—for our benefit? Animals are disseminators that would rival a terminator. I guarantee it. I experiencially promise to you this fact.


Just askin’ or. Just sayin’.


The Vet. - A noun. A person. From the Latin word, “old”. Is a person who has significant experience(and is usually adept and esteemed and expertised in a particular occupation or field.) A military veteran is a person who is no longer serving in the military. Military veterans are unique. As a group as their lived experience is so strongly connected to the conduct of war in general and application of professional violence in particular.


No mention of color, creed, deed……Would you agree?


Vetted. An Action word. A Verb. A process of performing a background check on someone before offering them employment, conferring an award, or doing fact checking prior to making any decision. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine heir usefulness.


No mention of color, creed or deeds here. Would you agree? We ‘all, Ya”ll best get to work to earn your keep. Time is a’ wasting……
