If you were actually successful…

You know… I don’t usually talk about this openly to the masses, but this is a soap box morning. 1st – I ask a rhetorical question, because we already know the answer… “Why do business men attempt to use their business to enter into intimate relationships with women?”

business plan @ primarythoughts.netMen: For every woman there are multiple dudes stepping to the table with their version of success on a platter. Most people trying to “make it happen” feel they are on the brink of breakthrough – I get it and I’m not knocking that you shouldn’t be proud, but to start off a convo with “I can put you in the movies”, then to end it with “when can I take you out for dinner?” – that ish gets old. I mean, for real. If you were really about your business you wouldn’t need that as a selling point. Your work would speak for itself (period).

Some Time Later, an Epiphany

Years ago, I was at the courthouse to testify as a witness in a criminal case.

Aaah, that’s it – pack. Well, in this case Pak. A Melanie memory has been identified for this post.

During my teenage years, we lived in Enid (that’s dine spelled backwards). I love words. ;-) Pak-A-Sak @ primarythoughts.net We use to dine from time to time at a local favorite called, Pak-A-Sak. It was a fabulous hamburger stand that was established back in 1954. They had an old picture of the restaurant that showed they offered 20 burgers for a $1.00 back in the day. It was probably only 12 burgers for a $1.00, but 20 sounds better. By the time I became a customer, the price was 2 for $1.00.
