We Think the World of You.

There is a time for change, and a time to resist the flow of evolutionary forces. With the new year it is tempting to surrender to the desire to improve. Maybe lose some weight, exercise, take a few classes, write that screenplay. Or maybe paint, act, dance your way onto stage and into the hearts of America. Don't give in to those silly dreams.  You have made it this far, right? Look at you. You are a fine example of all that is right in this world.

For one thing you are not being investigated by the NCAA*. And that is something of which you can be proud. With thousands of regulations, and a rule book so thick it would work as scaffolding you have managed to avoid violation, sanctions or probation, despite the fact that you have never lost an NCAA game.

You are not foolishly dabbling in fantasy sports**.  Lord knows how much time is wasted on that silliness. Tracking performance, trading, bickering, trash talking***, watching, reading, researching, it is a black hole and some people never return. If people spent that much time exercising, practicing, and working they might actually be one of the people on a fantasy team.

And look at you, reading this blog. As far as we, here at Life Explained Global Offices (LEGO****), are concerned that puts you right at the top of the ol' evolutionary ladder. Face it, if you were off working out, learning, improving yourself, expanding your potential, or experiencing life's great challenges you wouldn't have time to read blogs. Everest doesn't have WiFi, or a microwave, or a coffee maker, and I could use a cup right now.

Don't sell yourself short. We were just talking about you the other day in our staff meeting, and we think you are fantastic, just the way you are. Please, don't change a thing. We tell everyone we know how great you are. Share this blog with everyone you know so they can read it and understand how truly wonderful you are. You owe it to the world.









PS. if you need video proof of your awesomeness, here you go.

A Christmas to Remember, until next year.

Oh sure, you think you can quit anytime you want, it is just a social habit. You started small, just giving a few trinkets to friends, and family. Maybe a few small stockings hung with care. Soon, though, you started making cookies, and taking them for co-workers. Then it was fudge, and caramel popcorn, and decorative coffee mugs filled with handmade goodies and lottery tickets.

And now you are hooked, plans are formed as Halloween candy is being purchased. Oh sure the fun sized candy bars are in the basket, but secretly you are planning on Candy Canes, and Eggnog.

Once the pesky trick or treaters have quit you start planning, formulating, scheming. Sure, Thanksgiving is coming, but that is just the opening act of the big play. And this year you are bringing home the Oscar, or Emmy, or Tony or whatever they give for best "Live Production of Christmas Perfection." Because that is what you are pulling off, the perfect Christmas.

People from all over will be talking about the Christmas you are pulling off. That tree is so beautiful it has moved you to tears. And the gifts under it are carefully researched, perfectly appropriate for the recipients. Each is wrapped in coordinated paper, and ribbons, and arranged in a pattern reflecting the golden ratio. Anybody who goes anywhere near them will have to die, horribly.

And Christmas day is choreographed, and meticulously planned right to the very end. It is laid out by the second, from the alarm to the last pitter patter of little feat stumbling tiredly to bed.

Yes, this is going to be the perfect Christmas!  And if you are going to top it next year you had better start now. And it will be spectacular.

A New Look, and an Expression of Gratitude!

There are big things happening here, at Life Explained. Momentous things. Things that make the mountains tremble and the rotation of the earth to speed up, just a bit, but we are trying to get a handle on that.  The premature aging is probably only temporary, so just get off the phone with your lawyer. You have better things worry about. Look at your car, all that mountain shaking knocked a tree over in your front yard, and the insurance company is going to be steamed.

Anyway, we have "hired" one of the leading people in the universe to redesign our blog sites. And we must say she has done a remarkable job. They look absolutely stunning.

Here, go check them out, we will wait right here.

They look so good we wish her husband would pay her. Or at least stop walking over the "do not cross" line. Maybe we could just send her a leash.

Hey, wait a minute.
