Not everyone is interesting enough to have stuff worth posting.

That's what everyone would like us to believe. Everyone has a unique story and background and to me they are all interesting.

It's just that we are all conditioned to think that we are not worthy enough to share our stories. If we believe we aren't worthy ... then we are not. But the opposite is also true, if we believe we are good enough and that our stories are worthy, then they take on a life of their own and become important.

I always enjoy quoting George Carlin because he was a proponent of the power of belief ... society and the individuals in that society believe whatever they want to believe

"I have as much power as the pope ... I just don't have as many people who believe it" - George Carlin

If people are genuinely interested, I had a startle getting my ID renewed today. Security at the courthouse had to hang onto my keys since I forgot to take a key knife off my ring. All went well, but the cops giving me the sink eye for a moment was uncomfortable. At least they didn't make fun of the anime waifu on the keyring.

At least you didn’t bring an acorn with you.
