Stone Cold Lightening Pressure

Accents are strong in the news. Everyone exclaims the obvious pretended shock and outrage. It’s not quite outrage though. It’s like an expected disappointment when it comes to the break-ins and robberies in the news. There’s a little bit of an attitude of a matter of fact. This is the new normal. The thieves have struck like they always do and everyone hopes it’s young kids having fun on the weekend turning into a Monday evening.

Maybe it is boredom. The weather isn’t vicious enough. The rain falls and the thunder stays quiet because it’s been colder than normal but when the heat will begin soon out of the winter air, the thunder with strike with command. Electricity will flicker.

Those are the reminders of where you are. We’re not in control of our destiny. You can set goals all you want but it takes a little bit of “luck”. I’ve heard the debate over the 10,000 hours that Malcolm Gladwell hints at and the past five years, I seen and heard more pushback on the idea that 10,000 hours is what you need to be successful.

It’s takes some chance and a brew of the right things at the right time. There is a timing element of things. With the ADHD generation recommending the new forgetful wind, a thunder strikes a new tone. It’s the perfect interruption system. It helps everyone to feel small. The crack of power out of the wind due to tempreature.

The blazing speed of the unexpected. That’s the idea. Funny how ideas appeared as light bulbs hovering over peoples heads in comic drawing…
