<p>the issue lies with turning what is a personal belief onto what others should be doing, and like the &#8220;holy lands&#8221; they need to live on</p>
<p>wtf? i guess if the group believes it you cannot convince them otherwise</p>
<p>a quote comes to mind from my buddy</p>
<p>&#8220;people make decisions to do things 2 ways: #1 with reasoning and logic and #2 with passion. decisions that are made from passion cannot be reasoned&#8221;</p>
<p>i think that is a good enlightenment for myself</p>
<p>because i am always trying to convince people of things or decisions or whatever</p>
<p>sometimes i just dont understand their opinion/decision and typically those are opinion/decision</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>thats the way you gotta be</p>
<p>being never satisfied encourages constant improvement</p>
<p>for example if people were happy with one launch to the outerspace&#8230; just like a single successful rocket</p>
<p>where would the space program /satellite/ directv / etc be right now?</p>
<p>point is, people are never happy with the status quo</p>
<p>it can always be better</p>
<p>why is it that instinctive human drive is to make things better</p>
<p>keep improving</p>
<p>of course you can apply this to the whole human race or an individual</p>
<p>the difference is humankind has X amount of years to keep improving</p>
<p>you only have about 100 years</p>
<p>so you need to know when to call it</p>
<p>that&#8217;s good enough for now</p>
<p>lets apply it to something simple like</p>
<p>amount of work / effort you put into a report no one will read</p>
<p>is that worth 100 &#8211; that effort = your already dwindilingy time left on earth</p>
<p>you need to decide when enough is enough</p>
<p>and also at the same time never be satisfied</p>
<p>knowing how to get there quickly without ever being satisfied is a way to encourge constant quick, small improvments instead of long, big improvements</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>the magic number:</p>
<p>.o8</p>
<p>tonight i was out with friends and had two drinks&#8230; no really i only had two drinks.</p>
<p>cops pull me over and it seems like before i even said anything, they already decided i was drunk driving.</p>
<p>long story short i find myself in the back seat of their cruiser, handcuffed, going back to the station.</p>
<p>in my opinion i crushed all of their sobriety tests, yet he said &#8220;in my trained opinion you failed all three&#8221; although when i asked what about them i failed i never got a straight answer.</p>
<p>i refused the on site breathlyzer they tried to give but this was a voluntary one (that means $85 fine for saying no as it turns out)</p>
<p>its been a long time since i had a drink so i knew it would be close but i really didnt know what it would be.</p>
<p>i got back to the station, talked to my friends on my call, and decided to blow rather than refuse. they really fuck you for a refusal but i didn&#8217;t know what i would blow.</p>
<p>i blew a .077 and a .079</p>
<p>you can&#8217;t get too much closer</p>
<p>what is the moral of the story?</p>
<p>i feel very lucky tonight and hence this post.</p>
<p>cops will do whatever they want. all you can do is be polite and make sure they know you are aware of your rights.</p>
<p>i look forward to the day when they wear video cameras so later in a court of law there can be no mistake about he said / she said. it will be what was recorded so if they want to say i failed the tests they would have to have video proof.</p>
<p>on a side note, cops in newport ri are out to get you. i have had multiple issues with them personally yet i&#8217;ve never had any problems whatsoever with cops anywhere else. i&#8217;ve lived many years in both miami, fl and seattle, wa and never once have i had any problems.</p>
<p>what is it about newport that has such a high rate of cop run ins?</p>
<p>less to do in rhode island? or on a power trip? or just out to fuck with college aged kids?</p>
<p>i dont know but i certainly dont want to go back to newport anytime soon. fuck that place. you can keep those stuffy bars too.</p>
