Gabe Kapler protest the anthem. Okay and....

Coach Kepler sitting out the anthem. Lol hey skip I get what you trying to do but it's not the same. First you using a protest that not only already been used, but was arguably the most controversial one since Jim Crow. Secondly and most importantly YOUR WHITE! This 'merica skip, and an ugly truth about this 'merica is you don't live under the same standards, laws, or even rights here that me or one of your black players do.

Do you remember the name Bruce Maxwell? Yeah probably not. Well he was the only player kneeling during 'kneeling peroid' Like him this will be talked about for a few days and no one will even acknowledge your doing it, then you'll get bored and you'll stop, just like Bruce did.

I think the most comical part of this all is you decide memorial weekend in Cincinnati to start it! CINCINNATI! I think there some irony in that decision, I'm not going to even elaborate on that, but hey good choice of the. Location to start it. 'A'
for effort, it's more action than most will take. ESPECIALLY IN CINCINNATI 

Another Mass Shooting

I think the problem with these shooting and these slaughtering of our neighbors and our kids is, we all live in this theoretical state, meaning if it don't effect me directly, we mourn for a min, just make our post, say T's and P's, share a post and move on with our lives. If somehow we lived in the state of constant relatable reality, then we are forced in a state of taking action and doing something about it. 

Why can't Robb elementary school, be C.O. Harrison where my 10 year old goes to school? Why can't the supermarket in Buffalo, be the krogers my mother and I shop at it? And like the Asian church, remember Dylan Wolf? It wasn't that long ago he walk into a church and killed multiple blacks in Bible study, also something I was raised up doing every week at first Baptist of Hazelwood, why couldn't that have happen to us?

Numbers don't lie! Statistic say it's closer to you than you know, but unfortunately humans lead there lives in a way that is not proactive, it's reactive. We react the same way to these events, at least till it happens to you.

Where's Weirdo? Calling Out To All You Interesting People

There's that saying; if your the smartest person in the room, then you need to find a new room. Well I think that go for interest too. If your the most interesting person in a room you also need to find a new room.

I love interesting people! Interesting is defined by the individual, I'm speaking most about dialog and mind set, people who thinks differently than I do. Over the last few years my journey has made me a bit of weirdo is the realm.

In my search of interesting, I have found myself connecting with people, that social doctrine would tell you is cray-cray or weirdos, but be that as it may, I've enjoyed the process of leaning into other people's weirdness. Leaning in Keep's life interesting, and most importantly it teaches you range, range in your own thoughts and the able to be ability to see things from a lot of different angles.

So I challenge you, this week. Seek out someone who seems a lil off, rather that be at work, your local hangout, your neighbors, wherever. Someone who's thinking and view point and some peaks your interest and just talk(more so listen) and ask questions. It maybe uncomfortable, but I promise you it'll be fun and you'll leave that experience had learned something 😉
