Chapter One

I’ve been in Washington DC for 5 months. I’ve had a relationship and broke up. I’ve accumulated money and now know what it’s like to walk the streets and know that I could go into any restaurant and buy and meal and still have enough money left over to pay my bills. A year ago I was broke and a little depressed. Now I have money and I’m a little depressed. 

Soon I’ll be in Costa Rica. Damn, I’ve traveled and lived in many places. I just want attention. I’m a whore. For those without talents, one need the gall, the willingness to do what others won’t do. It could be outworking the competition, it could be going beyond what is socially acceptable. Be willing to say what others, most, are too afraid to say. 

I’m where I’m at now partly for my wish to be safe. I’m no longer punk, I’m no longer a hippie. I want the paycheck and the security. 

Trump just won the election. Thank God. The Lefties have held the power for 12 of the last 16 years. A characteristic of the Left: They are ashamed of America. They are ashamed of being Americans. Not all but significantly more than those on the Right. They Left think that the USA has victimized other countries. Leftists want to apologize to all non-Americans. For example, Obama officially said sorry to Japan for dropping nuclear bombs on them. The Japanese didn’t ask for an apology. And they attacked first. No apology needed and therefore only complicates our relationship. Clinton apologized to the Africans for the slave trade. He apologized to the descendants of the people who sold the slaves. So this atitude and mindset could backfire when we need to deal with other countries, like negotiate treaties and tariffs. Ok, the Leftists are nice, but the world isn’t nice so we need leaders, at least from time to time, who aren’t nice. Think: Michael Jordan and Steve Jobs: two extremely competent leaders who were not nice. 

Conclusion:

Competencia over being nice. Money over poverty.
