    My Variety Today – Tuesday 2/7/2012 

    Worked my field rep job. It included an interesting conference call, a productive meeting, a bunch of phone calls, and a personal visit in the field.

    Ate my Subway sandwich inside Starbucks! Along with a coffee of course.

    Continued reading an interesting Fast Company article about thriving amid chaos.

    Listened to the awesome variety-oriented music stream called Do or DIY on the WFMU app on my phone.

    Explored a kosher deli, and another restaurant with Mexican food called MexiKosher.

    Spent a decent amount of time in natural sunlight. Always good for the mood and the brain.

    Happened to walk by a RadioShack. Popped in and got a universal remote for the TV, which I’ve been thinking about getting for like six months.

    Tried out my new Skechers Shape-ups shoes at home.

    Worked out.

    Worried about my lack of health insurance.

    Watched some more of That Hamilton Woman.

    Tweaked my new ProxThink business cards, adding a new special offer.

    A big part of life is juggling 

    A large and important part of every day is deciding what to do and coordinating various different things.

    A simple way to think about this is, that it’s like juggling. You’re juggling people, ideas, your feelings, your energy levels, logistics, the things around you, and technology. Just to name a few.

    There can easily be an overwhelming number of variables to juggle. Staying calm, cool, and in touch with a variety of elements in your proximity, helps you juggle.

    Sorry I just dropped into ProxThink-speak, but it really is sometimes the most efficient, comprehensive, and elegant way to speak about a situation.

    The need to conquer both externals and internals … 

    In this life, not only do you need to face and conquer many things in the external world, but you need to face and conquer many inner fears and unhelpful habits.

    “Holiday” – What a Film 

    For me, “Holiday,” with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, isn’t just a film you watch. It’s a film you fall in love with.

    It’s so high-spirited, and full of life. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are such an awesome pairing. The dialogue is sparkling. The storyline exhibits great verve. The acting seemed practically flawless to me.

    By the end, I was completely hooked, and on the edge of my seat. And, it has what I call a ski jump ending. It’s a perfect ending which comes suddenly, and you find yourself still flying in the air after it’s over.

    Could an American have played Finn Hudson? 

    Cory Monteith is a Canadian. In his role as Finn Hudson on Glee, he pulls off a combination of innocence, honesty, strength, and naturalness. Topped off with the occasional wonder at how amazing life can be. Could an American have pulled this off? Have we Americans often become a bit too jaded, ironic, or sophisticated for our own good? Too cool? Of course not all Americans are, but I wonder about the available pool of actors in Hollywood.

    It’s tough for the cool people to do anything really creative. Because they’re usually afraid of being crazy.
