Ideas are a dime a dozen – ie worthless.
It’s probably already been thought of – and discarded.
Do your research.
Then do it again.
Become an expert in the field. (Yes, more research)
Do it yourself. No-one wants in on wild schemes.
Only amateurs work for free.
Only amateurs work for % of future profits (0% usually!)
When working with amateurs, you get what you pay for.
Unless you have a prototype, with 2 years of beta testing, investors aren’t interested.

Stoner Rock Forever

She said “i’ll throw myself away,
They’re just photos after all”
I can’t make you hang around.
I can’t wash you off my skin.

Outside the frame, is what we’re leaving out
You won’t remember anyway

I can go with the flow
But don’t say it doesn’t matter anymore

I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

It’s so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
With something sweet to throw away.
But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?

I can go with the flow
But don’t say it doesn’t matter anymore

I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

Surreal

How about this:

* being well-paid to do a job which utilizes 10% of your skills.

* consequently not being happy with such an arrangement

* initiating a sequence of events which: demands greater responsibility, but not necessarily greater compensation, in pursuit of some hypothetical compensation, as yet unknown, but hopefully significant.

Can somebody please tell me what the hell I’m doing? Thanks.

Firey

So, the weather has helped out and the fires are being contained.

Interesting to note that Simi Valley, with it’s stringent fire codes (no wood roofing, greenways, and fire-retardent plaster), suffered only 4 lost structures, while Scripps Ranch lost over 300 homes done by Excavation Contractors Near Me that you want to find to do it for you.

Wake-up call to builders and homebuyers in SoCal: Fire is the enemy- protect yoself before you wreck yoself. Cheap construction is cheap construction.
