we rented a jackhammer to remove the old porch that brought in the rats next to my neighbors house,
And we worked all day, all weekend, and then,
once the work was done, we went down to the
frosty freeze, and he did not even ask to pay the bill.
We would have done it for free, but it bothered us,
that he didn/'/t even care to offer to pay for all the hard work we did.
I/'/d do it for free, I/'/d stand up for you. I/'/d work my butt off for you. You should know that firsthand about me.
But, at the very least, you should say thanks.
thanks, just thanks for working all weekend, knowing that firsthand we all work sixty plus hours each and every week just to make a living.
And it isn/'/t easy, life is hard, but we are not stupid,
we are not full of bull.
We care. We are motivated because we care about
the world. In my youth I would do anything, I would,
and I did. I/'/m sixty, I still do. I would do so to my end.
I would do so to my end.
I would do so to my end.
because I want to, not because anyone
said it was the right thing to do.
I already knew it was the right thing to do.
call me a genius.

Peace!
