Starting a new business venture is fraught with peril. Not the good kind of peril, like when you follow a grail-shaped beacon shone out by the bad, bad, naughty Zoot. No, that’s excellent peril that you definitely make time for, Lancelot. No, I’m referring to the kind of peril that could have you living on the street in a cardboard box, or even worse, back in your parents basement. (Not that I don’t love my folks, I just don’t think they want me and my wife and my child in their house....I will NOT have a 10PM curfew again, Dad!! You can’t make me!!!!) Some say it’s difficult to begin new life chapters, especially business chapters when you have so much and so many riding on the outcome. However, when you consider your current situation and level of happiness, decisions become more clear - is what you’re “risking” really what you want at this stage of your life? If you’re unhappy, disappointed, and know that others are holding you back from your full potential, are you really “risking” anything? So I say holding on to something that’s over, and NOT taking chances is FAR more difficult - I’d rather swing and miss three times than stay safely in the dugout. So ask yourself, if the new venture goes wrong, will you be feeling all Alfred, Lord Tennyson “O death in life, the days that are no more!” If the answer is no, mass plenty of armies in Kamchatka (because it’s a vulnerable border most people miss when they Risk) and go for it. Joel Goodson said it best after escaping the clutches of Guido The Killer Pimp: “Sometimes you just have to say ‘What the fuck,” and make your move.’” My idol, the greatest performer of the 20th Century, Mister Francis Albert Sinatra, said it even better: “I’m gonna live, live, live until I die.”
Make today fantastic.
Or at least send me pictures of your rack, ladies.

College Basketball news: UMKC defeated IUPUI 85-77 in Double OT. UMKC’s PG hit 3PTers at the end of regulation & OT#1 at the MCI Center, after IUPUI missed a bunch of FT’s & their coach got a T. Time constraints moved the game from ABC to ESPN for OT#2. IMHO NCAAB is better than NCAAF and the BCS, and ESPN ratings prove it, TYVM. LOL Hold on, BRB...
NASCAR drivers are in favor of a simpler points system to determine their yearly championship.
