Immature

Shark Tank episodes often leave me wondering about the value placed on potential. Well, we can’t always insist on proven track records. Newbies need to be given a chance. But the intent is not always so noble. It’s about taking control at a point, when the other party is raw and open to accepting your … Continue reading Immature

Forward and backward

It’s time to review a decade. All that is valued is packed away in boxes. Whatever is discarded speaks volumes about wrong decisions, wasteful expenditure, whims and fancies and phases of life relegated bins.

Privacy is outdated – the internet knows everything about me To communicate is to tell what I think, not what is needed Screenplays lock a story; novels breathe.
