We begin with our birthday suit and just the needs to survive and in the end that is what we are usually left with but what happens if we take a path down this road in between?  As the stock market took a huge  tumble this week many a retirement plan, exciting vacation, new car,  or switch to a new job was put on hold as cash flow appeared to  dip.  When the  going gets tough do we toughen up or bunker in?  Do we settle for the basics until that cliff appears further away or do we take that leap of faith?  If G-D forbid our assets do become depleted can we be happy with the basics food, shelter and a touch from a loved one as we cling on or is too loose a grip on our “reality”?  The truth is in life no step is guaranteed so let’s enjoy the ride wherever it might take us and learn to appreciate the steps we’ve taken along the way.

If a loved one asks if you would and  it is in the past tense  normally it’s best to say in the affirmative YES.   This is especially useful when the event will probably not occur in the same way in the future. You can’t say that you’re lying because who knows how you would have acted if you were actually there and the support your loved one will feel will make up for walking this line between truth and a lie.  If the event actually occurs at a future date and you don’t react the way you agreed you would, you could make up an excuse as simple as it was the morning not the night or the dog was barking. It may not make a whole lot of sense  but at least your initial statement was true.

Generally I believe it’s wrong to cheat but there are always exceptions to the rule such as a physically abusive spouse, or a spouse that won’t grant a divorce and that’s where a site like “Ashley Madison” might serve a purpose.  I also understand that the majority of people on such a site are using it for the wrong reason but does that give us the right to reveal such secrets? Could we prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexual diseases to the innocent if this knowledge was revealed? Would revealing such secrets help the spouse that is being cheated on know the truth and finally leave such a difficult relationship or cause public pain and shame?

Recently it was revealed that “Josh Duggar” the former “19 Kids and Counting Star” and social conservative was an active participant in this website.  The hypocrisy of his words and actions as shown through this actions are painfully clear.  It is also clear that the pain this public outing brings to his entire family including his children is something that they don’t deserve.  The truth is the truth but sometimes I wonder if it is necessary for us all to know it.

Ashley Madison is a business that  promotes acts that can cause great harm to our society but still deserves some protection in a free market economy how much is what is to be determined. For those that perform these acts are adults and do it of their own free will. It is the cheaters desires that hurt the innocent not the websites information. It is a difficult wire to cross but in the end the free marketplace and freedom of speech must prevail even if it’s wrong.  Therefore I wouldn’t be launching an FBI investigation into who leaked this information but if it came across the desk I would see that those who performed this act were prosecuted to lightest form of the law. 

I hope I won’t be seeing this rock (G-D willing from above) for many, many years to come but if it comes sooner rather then later I want it to read “I TRIED”.  It is impossible to accomplish all the goals that appear in your heart but it isn’t impossible to keep trying until the mind and soul you have enter a different place. Here are just a few ways that I’m trying today.

(1) MOVIES- I have several scripts in my pockets, a production team ready to begin, funds to get the ground moving and have alerted several contacts that I’m ready when they are.

(2)CRAZY BUSINESS- I’ve  worked tirelessly for over 27 years, provided them with creative solutions to problems and will continue to be there until ….

(3) FAMILY- No matter what the time or place I let them know that I’m their for them, willing to do what it takes to help them achieve success, as long as they play by my “basic rules”.

(4) IDEAS- My creative ideas and solutions are openly listed on this blog, with startup capital available for the entrepreneur ready to take a leap.

(5) CHARITY- It is my pleasure to give to charities with funds and effort that help those in need and will continue to do so as long as those resources are available.

(6) POLITICS- Creative solutions to problems are continually listed on my blog and given to those in positions  of power to make this world a better place.

(7) BLOG- Investment(s) have been made and will continue to be made to promote the ideas and values on this blog.

(8) FUN & LAUGHS- Even if my family and friends will cringe at times I will continue to try to bring a smile to those around me.

(9) FAITH- I will continue to try to lead a faithful (although not perfect) hoping that someday in the distant future I will enter the pearly gates even if might be through side door.
