Jake's Though Of The Day

I was talking to a friend of mine today who told me he found my passion to be intoxicating to which I responded "Life without passion is like driving in the dark without headlights."

What A Fool Believes Lyrics by Michael McDonald...


What A Fool Believes Lyrics
by
Michael McDonald

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see, trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
Once in her life, she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize...It never really was...
She, had a place in his life...
He, never made her think twice...
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know...
He's watching her go...

What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power...to reason away...
What seems...to be...is always better than nothing
And nothing at all...keeps sending him, somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life, someday, somewhere–she will return
She had a place in his life
He...never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go...

But what a fool believes–he sees
No wise man has the power...to reason away...
What seems to be...is always better than nothing...
There's nothing at all...
But what a fool believes, he sees...
No wise man has the power...to reason away...
What seems to be...is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all...
Steve Jobs & Happenstance

Random acts of the universe. Chaos Theory...
Anybody can stop anything for anybody if they want to, the question is whether they want to or not? –Morris Stark
If you never expect anything you'll never be disappointed. –Dora Jane

Basis Of Friendship


Basis Of Friendship

People base their friendships with people based upon what they think they can get out of them. Notice, the emphasis is on the word, think. So it is not what they get out of it–it is what they get out of it.

Quid pro quo.

Hemingway on action....


"Never mistake motion for action." –Earnest Hemingway

Oh, my god!!! I am like sho buzay!!! I can't believe how buzay I am!!! Guiness Book of world records should give me an award for being sho buzay!!!

Busy is such a subjective term. When people tell me how busy the have been, I roll me eyes. C'mon!!! Everybody thinks their busy!!! If you tell me how busy you have been, basically you are telling me that you are not very effective with time management and you are overwhelmed with life.

Telling somebody you have been so busy is so condescending because it suggests your time is more valuable than theirs.

When People Complain or Compliment...


When People Complain or Compliment

My whole life, I have listened carefully when people complain or compliment things. I think this is how I benefit from carefully listening to others.

Quote of the Day...


I guess I am just lying to myself, it's just do I know I am!?! –Mick Jagger.
Out of my mind as subtitle for Jake's Personal Blog? Double entendre meaning getting things out of my mind, like GTD's getting things out of your mind, into a trusted system. Also meaning "Out Of My Mind" like crazy.

Kind and Happy...


What Are You Looking For?

The only thing you should look for in a friend or significant other, is a kind and happy soul. Looks fade, money gets spent, but I realize as I get older the only thing that really matters in yourself and others is your disposition or attitude. So basically what I want in a woman and with friends are people who are fundamentally optimistic and nice, or just have a sincere and upbeat attitude.
