I'm always wary when I hear things similar to the following:

"It ain't what it used to be."

"I've been getting X for Y for 10 years."

"If you think this is great, you shoulda been here back in 'XX."


Yes, I know that before I came along, gas was 10 cents a gallon, blowjobs were a nickel and music had soul.

But it ain't 'XX anymore. Gas is $4/gallon now. And the way things work changes all the time.

Think about it.

change is very hard for people to accept. it will never ever be the same again. better stop lamenting and start reinventing.

As far as I can tell they are still split front to back and are still engaged in exchanging services for plata. I have been in SJO since '06 and the faces have changed somewhat but the game remains the same.

Fear not.

Today is the "good old days" of tomorrow. Make the most out of it.

If you are not thinking a thought that serves your highest level, change that thought immediately. You attract what you are, and what you think, be it positive, or negative.

health & happiness to all.............
