I can do both

I sincerely care about people
And
I sincerely cannot give a shit
Yup... I can do both.
I will always do my best to help others, even after years of being lied to and stabbed in the back, it is just my nature.
That said , once I decide to move on or that you may be harmful to me or any member of my family then I quickly will not give a good shit about you.
Also in order for me to be me and to sometimes take chances I have to have a bit of the “ I don’t give a dam “ gene , in order to plow through.
There are times when I have started projects or departments and in order to do so and get things done I had to put my blinders on and plow ahead. The key is to always listen to people for opinions but ultimately to do what my gut told me.
My mentor and good friend Mr. Paul Arpin always told me to never get upset and to remember at the end of the day I owned the bat and ball.
Paul had the best bull shit meter of anyone that I ever knew and I think I have it too, I can normally tell when someone is sincere or not, but no matter what I always try to build a bridge with everyone, it is just with some I will always sleep with one eye open.
So go forth and always care about people and try to help everyone-
Just know who you ultimately trust and those that you must be cautious with or even just eliminate from your life all together.

Getting older

Makes sense to me.....
Lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that, at my age,
I don't really give a rat's ass anymore.
If walking is good for your health, the mailman would be immortal.
A whale swims all day, only eats fish, and drinks water, but is still fat.
A rabbit runs, and hops, and only lives15 years, while a tortoise doesn't run, and does
mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And they tell us to exercise? I don't think so.
Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.
3. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
5. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
6. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than it was to get wiser.
7. Some days, you're the top dog, some days you're the hydrant.
8. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
9. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
10. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
11. It is hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
12. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.
13. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
14. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
15. It is not hard to meet expenses . . . They're everywhere.
16. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth..
17. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".
18. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
19. It is a lot better to be seen than viewed.
20. Have I sent this message to you before...or did I get it from you!?
