New Post, New Direction??
Well, where does the time go? It seems like it was just a brief 605 or so days ago since I last wrote a post on my Shut-up, Stop Whining (SUSW) blog. So here’s the deal. I was busy. But I have some free time now.
Here’s what I’m thinking… “Shut-up, Stop Whining” first started out as an idea for a platform to bitch about people who bitch about everything. However, it has recently occurred to me (with the assistance of the legendary, recently deceased and highly recommended Jim Rohn) that bitching and complaining is a pointless exercise in avoiding the pain that we all have in life, and more importantly, an excuse to do nothing about the situations that cause us to bitch in the first place. Sooooo…..
I want to start publishing helpful “How To” problem solving guides, direct from the trenches, on how to stop complaining and start fixing. I’m thinking fairly narrowly defined, common problems that a lot of people face. If you prefer complaining over problem solving, you might as well take this blog off your reading list – “nothing to see here, move along”.
If, on the other hand, you want to start 2010 with a new “I’m going to take action and solve this problem” attitude, you might want to stick around.
If you have solutions to life’s daily challenges that you have successfully used and think other may benefit from, I’m definitely interested in talking to you. Email me at fixit@shutupstopwhining.com
It will all be free for now, but if we actually start getting good info out there and people are giving us positive feedback, there may be a nominal fee involved in getting access to some of the more prevelant and high demand problems. We’ll see how it evolves.
I’m working on the first “How To” right now. It pertains to a particularly painful situation I’m currently dealing with that is 100% my own fault – how to make things right between you and someone who you have treated badly and who did absolutely nothing to deserve it. I don’t know if the situation I’m in is salvageable or not ( I really hope it is). But, whatever the outcome, there are certainly lessons I can pass along on how to not make the mistakes I’ve made, and if you do make them, how to recover, or at the very least, how to avoid having it happen again if the situation can’t be fixed.
Stay Tuned.

Now we all know that O.J. has been devoting the dozen or so years since his acquittal on double murder charges to find the real killers. He has apparently narrowed down his search to golf courses, mainly in Florida. This Vegas twist is new however. He must have gotten a tip that the “real killer(s)” were possibly in Vegas. I mean, there’s really no other explanation for him being there. He did say right after his acquittal that he was going to devote the rest of his life to finding those elusive real killers even if it meant going single-handedly into the seedy underbelly of the golf world, which is obviously exactly where the search has taken him. Brave man.
concepts and behaviors that runs counter to everything you have up to this point taken for granted about your world.
thing we called his face to check his breathing. And, alas, there wasn’t any. I would have bet the ranch that he would have pulled a Mama Cass and choked on a ham sandwich. But he fooled us all. After living through 18 months of pancreatic cancer he probably wished somebody would have given him a ham sandwich. That’s a tough way to go. But as they say, he’s in a better place now where he can eat all he wants and sing till the wee hours. Somebody get me a tissue.
