A one year project to become a better man in America's south
Day 158 – Another day, another problem with my car caused by shady windshield harvesters. Sometimes in politics you have to bite your tongue and put your opinions aside.
Other times, you have the unique opportunity and position to fight for the common good, and something you feel passionate about.
Day 141 – Really trying to stay off the computer today so that I can spend some time with the family on Christmas Eve. I just wanted to say Merry Christmas. During all the gift giving, pause to give glory to the one who was born a man for the sole purpose of dying for you. He truly is the greatest wonder.
Day 135 – Last week we had the pleasure of having some “firsts” for Pub Politics. In the spirit of Christmas, Phil and Wesley challenged fans, viewers, friends and family to get together to raise money for the Carolina Children’s Home. We’re not going to brag about who’s winning at the moment, but let’s just say the partisan reflection of donations and the current partisan composition of government are eerily similar.
Day 59 – Every week my team at Donehue Direct is required to research a specific topic and write a blog post about it. This week they were tasked with discussing the F8 conference and the new changes Facebook is bringing.
I’m posting here on my Man Project because I believe the new Facebook has massive implications, not just for marketing, but for our personal lives too.
Day 58 – Yesterday I got a call from a friend asking me why I share so much online. He said, “no one cares that your butt is wet.”
I disagree. Everyone should care that my butt is wet. First off, you should see what happens when you put off your problems for months, just hoping they go away. Secondly, you should know to avoid windshield scammers. If the title of my blog post got your attention, then I accomplished my mission.
Day 55 – There is nothing worst than jealousy, except for pride and the complete lack of humility.
It is only because jealousy is a byproduct of pride that it can be worse. Pride creates jealousy, therefore it is always one step ahead.
Jealousy is the reason for all other sins, giving its creator pride the title of “the greatest sin.” As C.S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity “it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice.” Very true.
Day 54 – I’m on it this week. I’m tackling my problems.
I told you how my butt is wet.
I told you how problems just multiply if you don’t tackle them.
This week I’m rocking and rolling by knocking three of my biggest problems to the mat with a TKO. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Day 52 – Day Here I sit. At my desk. 8:30 pm.
It’s the time of the year again. We’re launching 4 websites and 1 splash page tonight. This is going to be fun.
I’ve had a little bit of a rough week. But as you know, I hate whining, so I’m going to move past the pity-party and tell you how it could have been avoided and how I will avoid it in the future.
DAY 51 – They harass you at gas stations.
They won’t leave you alone.
You give in. They do a crappy job. And then they go out of business.
You’re stuck with a car you can’t drive in the rain, no cruise control and no radio.
STAY AWAY FROM WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT HARVESTERS!
Day 45 – Your life is going nowhere.
You’re stuck in a cubicle.
You’re back in school for yet another degree.
You’re broke, sitting on your couch and watching the sun rise and set.
