What I am thinking about today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chris Jericho dedicated his WrestleKingdom match to Eddie Geurerro and Chris Benoit. The whole Benoit story is devastating to me, since I just keep thinking about how I would react if someone I had known for years did something horrific. It\u2019s a tough question, and I can see why Jericho dedicated his match to Benoit, and I can see why people are upset by this. In the end, it\u2019s not my call.<\/li>\n
  2. We are about the see an avalanche of political books after Fire and Fury made a bajillion dollars over the weekend. And months from now, they will be sold to used books stores and stocked on tables, mostly unread like all of the other \u201cbig political books\u201d of the last 25 years.<\/li>\n
  3. I am reading about how comic shops are faltering and in trouble, while articles OUTSIDE the comics industry talk about how sales are higher than ever. To me, this shows that the terrible distribution system created in the late 1970\u2019s that saved comic book publishing is in need of an overhaul. I also wonder about the viability of the monthly comic book. The next few years will see profound changes in this industry.<\/li>\n
  4. The pace of events seems to be speeding up even more over the last two years. More and more people are feeling overwhelmed, overstressed, and that things are out of control. When this happens, it\u2019s OK to step back, slow down, and disconnect. Social media, politic battles, shifting marketplaces and the pace of work continue if you are attuned to them or not. It\u2019s important to note how many people are trying to go back to cooking meals, playing board games, coloring, and the like. It\u2019s not nostalgia, but an attempt to slow things down. Take that time, recenter yourself.<\/li>\n
  5. I have known people who constantly are throwing chaos into the world, and while you are in it with them, it\u2019s thrilling, and exciting, and you feel important, but it also keeps you from examining if you happy or satisfied while in the whirlwind. Things don\u2019t have to feel chaotic in order to be important. Just breathe for a bit and enjoy your burrito..<\/li>\n
  6. You\u2019ve got to love everybody and make \u2018em feel good about themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
