Oh no, words are coming out!

I am filled with questions all the time. I want to know why people feel they need to talk all of the time. I like to call it word vomiting. I consider myself a quite person, one who like to listen more than talking. I wonder why people like to talk so flipping much. There are people who make it feel as if they are listening, but once you stop talking, they keep going. And then they say they don't understand what you are talking about. IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME!!!! (or whomever is talking). And then, these people sometimes get into leadership positions, or even wonder why they never get put into leadership positions. That is another question I would like to ask them. Well, there is sometimes I think I need to stop talking, but I really think I listen well and I really try to understand what they are trying to tell me. But, I do need to talk less. Thanks for listening (or reading) to me again.

Wow

Well we are almost done with November already. Before I know it, I will be forty years old. Where does the time go? This last weekend, I went on a scout trip and remembered how fun it is to go. I would love to go every month or even every other month. I think if I had any say in the matter, that would be the plan. It was a blast. We go stuck a few time, no worries it wasn't my car this time. We had a contest for dinner. We competed to see who would make the best dinner. James and I won because we were really the only people who didn't bring either an ordinary sandwich or ramen noodles. I made some Delicious pulled pork and James made some very good pulled beef. I do think I had the better dinner because pork is the other white meat, and therefore better for you. I was very warm the entire time because I, unlike other people, know how to maintain your warmth. Also, Katie says I am a little heater, so that may have something to do with it. I mean, my room growing up was just as cold as the night up there. Had fun and want to do it again.

People are interesting

I had a meeting with some people today that made me wonder how and why they act the way they do. I know it is tempting to build yourself up to people you work with and those who work for you, but why do we do it? Is there something in out minds that makes it a necessity to be better than other people? As all of my faithful readers know (Katie hehe), I love to laugh and I like to listen to comedy. My lovely wife brought to my attention about a year ago a man named Brian Regan. He does this bit about a monster named me. I have no idea how to link things and, there is no point because you already have heard it. This is so true in the many different things I do in my life. Why is that? I guess because I am so layed back that I don't particularly care if people even know about me, let alone have them feel I am the best. I was once so worried about what people would think about me, it took over my life. That became my only desire, to please people, and I felt I wasn't any good at doing that. I have learned not to do that and it has helped me a lot. A person I work with (for) told me that we should blow our horn, especially to those who we report to. I wanted to laugh and ask why he felt that way. From all of the research I have done in this area, I have come to the conclusion it is mostly because of insecurities in people. We then have to compensate to make us higher than another person. I strongly believe that the works we do is what should set us apart from all the rest. In the scriptures it says we will know people by their works. I believe this is the case. I really wanted to tell that person I had no reason to blow my horn. If I deserved a promotion or recognition, it would come because of the work I do, not from my words building up a false representation of myself. Sorry that it was so long since that last post, I will try to shorten the time from now on. Just some thoughts I have been having these past few days.
