It’s the 4th of July and it’s kinda raining out side. I’m beginning to wonder, do fire works still go boom in the rain?
A couple of things that I was thinking about last night were Money, America, Capitalism and what if I became Rich… Basically the independence of America has lead to Capitalism and the pursuit of happiness. In the end it seem Money helps.
On the drive back from Nashville Brody and I went through the rich parts of town and looked at some huge houses. I began to wonder what I would do if I became Rich.
Here is my thought…
If I became Rich due to my own work ethic and from the sweat of my brow what would I become? Basically, would I have a huge house with lots of stuff, a nice car, furniture, pictures on the walls and shoes that said, “I paid for these bitches with my die hard American spirit”.
I’m a simple person, I’ve never really had much to speak of and I don’t have any claim to fame. People always told me when I was a kid that some day I’ll get older and I’ll stop wearing clothes that have stains. So far I’ve managed to beat the odds, than again I’m not married or even dating at this point.
I’d like to think if I did become rich you wouldn’t know it. I’ll admit there are a lot of things I’ve always wanted that cost a lot of money, but every time I go to a house where people have obviously spent a shit load of money I feel a little weird. Like I should take my shoes off when I go in side, or how many toys does one person need. Or, are your employee’s doing this well?
Back to the 4th of July… Have fun, be safe and I hope it doesn’t rain on you or me…
