That Awkward Moment

There comes a time in every person’s life when they realize the stall they have inhibited for the moment doesn’t have any toilet paper. Yes, unfortunately, these moments come when we have sat down and not when we need to blow our nose.

Recently, while at work, I found myself in this predicament. So, I prepared for the departure of one stall for the comfort of one I was sure possessed the paper I so separately needed! Wrong! Stall number two was mysteriously devoid of the beloved after affects of a recently chopped down tree.

Strike two! On to the next stall. “He swings and misses.”

No papyrus here either. Three stalls and one left. As I ran for stall number four, I glanced at the paper towel machine hoping to end my frustration. Damn, no paper towels, either.

Well, shit! Pun intended. No paper and twelve minutes before I had to be back in class. Oh, did I mention, I teach! I began to see a bright light and wished myself a heart attack. At least that way, my paperless ass could be blamed on heart failure! No such luck.

Praying, now a sympathetic, middle- aged adult would wander in and help me from embarrassment and shame. Six minutes before the bell rings. Come on, I nervously pleaded to no one!

I was having trouble remembering if it broke off cleanly when suddenly Elaine from Seinfeld pop conveniently in my head asking for the lady next door to “Spare a square.” But alas, there seemed to be no square in sight.

The Real Me

Until now this blog has been some version of a piece of crap. Posts with no heart or desire spread across these pages with no direction or purpose.

One might call it garbage, I call it shit.
As my journey across the internet continues to educate me, I realize I was attempting to find common ground with millions of other suckers across the world who fell for the get rich quick crap being peddled across the web. Program after program promising their concept is unique and always free! if it as always free, how does anyone make money? Sure, I built decent sized downlines in many online programs; however, these downlines were people who thought they would get something for nothing and never spent any money, so I never made any money.

Building an e-mail list is anther great way to go broke.
How does any internet marketer make money from their list? Well, they have millions of subscribers, and a handful of them are willing to spend a few bucks on something they think will help them get rich online. it’s a numbers game and the list builder must always have something flashy to catch the eyes of the unknowing subscribers. if he has nothing to promote and nothing to sell for a day or two, his income suffers.

I don’t know why I have been playing the role of, as my good friend Jon Atwood said, Secret Agent. I wholly believe in the SendoutCards business and what it stands for. Laws prohibit us from saying certain things or promoting our website certain ways and it made me wonder how and why?

I really and truly want to help others build a home based business and I know I can train anyone who desires to unleash his or her inner entrepreneur. I simply send cards and help others send cards. Every day I look for opportunities to tell someone how much they mean to me and how much I appreciate what they do and who they are! many reasons we don’t share with others is because of convenience. Well, now, sending personal messages to others has been made convenient through technology. Send cards economically and quickly and let the Cardguy help!

The Joys of Our youth!

Today, I had another epiphany of sorts. Was it really and epiphany, or do I just want to do something different and more meaningful. As I was trolling Facebook this morning, a dear friend of mine shared a blog post from another friend. I had the distinct pleasure of playing a year of semi-professional football with John, and many more special years playing alongside Joe. Joe and I were the mainstays at defensive tackle before my old body cried out for easier punishment and I moved back to the offensive line. Anyway, I digress. John shared a blog post about his old neighborhood and the memories that came rushing back to him when he went there recently.

It’s a Damn Shame! Online business scam!

It’s a Damn Shame! Online business scam!

It’s not an online business scam! It’s a damn shame when a normally social guy like me-insert 80’s flashback here—attempts to be social via the Internet and social media outlets like Facebook. Shoot, I mean if I had this same opportunity to share with people in the ‘80’s, I would have just showed you the next time I saw you. Because we are friends, and we hung out, I felt I could ask and share. You know, the common courtesy friend thing to do.

The Benefits of Direct selling

Direct Selling Opportunities

According to wikipedia, “Direct selling is the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location.” Annually, many men and women turn to direct selling as a way to generate an extra income to buy some much needed things for the home. Often, they sign on with companies like Amway, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, or one of hundreds of direct selling organizations available to them. They sell a little merchandise to a few relatives and close friends. Then they are through. (more…)
