Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 6:26PM “There is luxury in self reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel no one else has a right to blame us.” - Oscar Wilde
(DID YOU MISS ME? Welcome me home)
I'm not known for my poetic deepness. I prefer simplicity over complexity. I believe the solution to most of life's problems is to "suck it up, walk it off and put ice on it." Ironically, my "natural" simplicity is often mistaken as complexity. The Oscar Wilde quote above encompasses that concept. It's complex in it's simplicity. Allow me to translate it: "Stop blaming others for your mistakes and life will be much better." In the spirit of O-Dub, I'm going to "self reproach" myself and talk about the junk in my trunk, not yours.
If you've been in my car over the past few months, you probably noticed a loud rattle or thud when I take a turn with some quickness. Before you call Horatio Cane and his sunglasses, IT'S NOT A BODY! It's a computer that I got from a client and I couldn't bring myself to just throw in the trash. There's nothing special about the computer. I just know that it's not socially responsible to recklessly toss electronics in the trash. Why, you ask? I present the video below as Exhibit #1 (It's child and HR Department friendly):
Exhibit #1:
Even though I'm a lover of the "power plug," I have to admit that it has not been the best environmental neighbor. I have secretly developed a little adulterous crush on Mother Nature over the years. Most people thinks she's a little on the big side and can be somewhat cruel. I think she's tiny and just needs a hug. The link below is to Mother Nature's "Myspace" page. She talks about some of the ways you can treat her right when it comes to disposing of your tech products. As Maya Angelou said: "When you know better, you do better." Now, you know better. Go out and do better.
