Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Who I had so many dreams about my mother last night.
I call them visitations. In a few of them, I
was actually in her kitchen, but I never saw my mother.
It was her presence of knowing that she was nearby
that gave me plenty of shelter. Now today being September twentieth,
her birthday was once September twenty fourth. So the subconscious
mind keeps our outside selves in touch with the stories
and the experiences that we've lived without being poisoned by
this need to always live in the past. It's just
a little tap tap tap on the heart, or a nudge, nudge,
nudge on the soul. Hey you hey, just saying the
reply should always be thank you, then move on, because
staying in your past is when we all get lost.
All things now become compared to what we thought were
the better times, to which I always ask, were they
really the better times? Mean? Look at what we've got
today with technology and other items that have made our
lives so much easier, especially when it comes to that
annual trip to the dentist or that physical you had
to have at the doctor's office the other day. You
remember the old days when those physicals involved more work.
Look forward to looking outward, Hey, zerow. This is the
daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. I
am a daily writer, a silent wolf. I sit beneath
the brush of a tree and I just watch life.
I observe, I study, I take tons of notes, and
then we talk about it. This is the daily mess.
The dress code in our lawmakers' quarters has been lowered.
It's no longer about wearing a suit and tie. I mean,
I can't complain because in everything that I've done in radio,
I've never been enforced to wear a suit and tie.
But I do wonder about the image of the US
government and what will it look like to the rest
of the world if they just keep showing up in
gym shorts. I do admit that when I do dress
up and look professional, the mental attitude is much different
than when I'm wearing a pair of what Mom used
to call play clothes. I've done some research here, and
that research shows that wearing a suit and tie makes
us feel more confident. It helps us become better negotiators
and an abstract thinker. We don't need to identify the
lawmakers that are breaking the laws of fashion. We've developed
a society that's made it okay to support all people
with an open mind. Just let our children and our
adults now be themselves. Now, I'm not complaining because I'm
that guy whose hair is beyond his shoulders, but I
can't imagine how many people behind me are whispering. I
just wish he would grow up. It's who we are.
Let us be us. But at the same time, if
we're going to be us, then I believe that other
people have the right to judge us. We don't have
to fit into their style, but they do have the
right to have an opinion as to look at this
guy with long hair and what kind of assured is
that it's not even tucked in. What kind of a
look are you trying to present here, dude. Maybe it's
because I've grown up looking at lawmakers looking good, and
now that they can dress down, it's like, huh, I'm
not seeing you as one of us, even with a
suit and tie. You were never really one of us.
You were one of them. But when you dress down,
it's like, uh, it just doesn't look right. And there's
a big chance, big chance that because they've lowered the
bar when it comes to the dress code in our
US government. I'll bet you in the next couple of
weeks or a month, my hair comes off because if
that's what we look like as Americans, those making our laws.
I don't like that look. Therefore, maybe I'm not happy
with my look. I bet I get it cut off.
I'm arrow, and that's the daily mess.
