Negativity breeds contempt.

Been reading a book about having great ideas and how to jump start them by a guy named “Chris” Someonewhowroteit. The book’s upstairs, so sue me, I don’t want to walk up there and get it. Speak of passive aggression! The book is a compilation of other people’s ways to implement successful brain storming strategies both personally and in group discussions.

The voices in my head are at war with one another. You are a southern woman, dammit, please everyone! Make this easy, link to a book sales website and feed your readers the information. No! Are you mad!? Show your readers the joy of inquisitive reflection, teach them the pure joy of research…

I hate it when they argue before I’ve had a second cup of coffee. Without the proper caffeine induction, I am mental putty in their imaginary hands.

Quote for the day from the $5 sale bin book on great ideas:
Parents make 18 negative comments for every one positive reaction.

My take on all this:

“The more we shoot down intellectual inquiry, the more our feet stay on the ground. And there’s nothing more tragic than a flightless bird. Just ask the Dodo.” -V. MacEwan, “The Tower of Mental Cruelty: How to Shoot a Golden Arrow Every Time” soon to be released by NoOne Publishers, Haveasue, NC.

Oh, the genius dwells within. Surrender Amanda! Comments are open again. Relate.

Onward and upward into my day. There will be no shopping from here this weekend. Except for milk. And bread… real things. Make your holiday gifts mental ones. Think positively about what the person wants and be happy they have dreams of acquisition.
Go forth my children.
