Someday Isle by Dennis Waitley
There's an Island fantasy
A "Someday I'll" we'll never see
When recession stops, inflation ceases
Our mortgage is paid, our pay increases
That Someday I'll where problems end
Where every piece of mail is from a friend
Where all the nations can go it alone
Where we all retire at forty-one
Playing backgammon in the island sun
Most unhappy people look to tomorrow
To erase this day's hardship and sorrow
They put happiness on lay-away
And struggle through a blue today
But happiness cannot be sought
It can't be earned, it can't be bought
Life's most important revelation
Is that the journey means more than the destination
Happiness is where you are right now
Pushing a pencil or pushing a plow
Going to school or standing in line
Watching and waiting, or tasting the win
If you live in the past you become senile
If you live in the future you're on Someday I'll
The fear of results is procrastination
The joy of today is a celebration
You can save, you can slave, trudging mile after mile
But you'll never set foot on your Someday I'll
When you've paid all your dues and put in your time
Out of nowhere comes another Mt. Everest to climb
From this day forward make it your vow
Take Someday I'll and make it your now!
A "Someday I'll" we'll never see
When recession stops, inflation ceases
Our mortgage is paid, our pay increases
That Someday I'll where problems end
Where every piece of mail is from a friend
Where all the nations can go it alone
Where we all retire at forty-one
Playing backgammon in the island sun
Most unhappy people look to tomorrow
To erase this day's hardship and sorrow
They put happiness on lay-away
And struggle through a blue today
But happiness cannot be sought
It can't be earned, it can't be bought

Saul Alinsky Quote
“Life is there ahead of you, and either one tests oneself in its challenges or huddles in the valleys in a dreamless day-to-day existence whose only purpose is the preservation of an illusory security and safety.”

Is Your Shampoo Killing You?
From Best Life:
"Nearly 90 percent of the chemicals in the products you slather onto your skin—the body’s largest organ—have never undergone any testing for toxicity. That’s because the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate the safety of ingredients used in cosmetic products. They defer to an industry-funded panel, called the Cosmetics Ingredient Review, which comprises just seven individuals, including a nutritional scientist and…a veterinarian. To date, they have examined a mere 11 percent of the ingredients you use to groom yourself, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit research organization based in Washington, D.C.
Scientists and toxicologists at EWG recently compared all the ingredients in nearly 25,000 grooming products (information is available online at http://cosmeticdatabase.com/index.php) with lists of potential chemical hazards compiled by 50 scientific regulatory institutions worldwide. Their findings? “Sixty percent of products on the U.S. market contain chemicals that are potential endocrine disrupters,” says Jane Houlihan, vice president of research at EWG, “and a third have ingredients that are likely carcinogens.” In the last 30 years, the United States has banned only eight ingredients from personal-care products, while the European Union has banned almost 400 ingredients by some estimates."
FYI My body wash rate a 5 out of 10 on their hazard scale.

SXSW DAY 1
SXSW Day 2
Apparently the filmmakers lounge has several classy amenities I didn't notice yesterday.
Since I love lists:
1)Free popcorn (get it?)
2)Free Fuze (I don't know either)
3)Cell phone text preventative force field
Maybe you should make a movie.

Jesse smacks Jason
Legally, I can't tell you to click on the ads after the video.
Also, Jessie's name is spelled with an "i" which I forgot. Sorry Jessie.

Billy Wilder on I.A.L. Diamond
This is a clip that someone has decided to translate into Spanish.
If you know:
1)Where it's from
2)Who decided it should be in Spanish
or
3)Where I can get it on dvd in English
Please place a white briefcase with a pinstripe ascot tied in a sheep shank on my fifth stair. Inside please include a treasure map that leads me to said booty (with ample time allotted for food breaks).
Now, that being said, there is still a free prize in the clip. You will know it when you see it. If you don't, then you don't know me.

The Perfect Steak? Easy Steakhouse Recipe
You can't tell from the picture, I just got a digital camera, but this is the best steak I've ever had.
It's made steakhouse style. What is steakhouse style? Well, it's the style of cooking that a steakhouse uses.Got it?
Here's the recipe.
Master Recipe
2 steaks; cut strip steaks or rib-eyes about 11/2 inches thick, filet mignon, 21/2 inches
2 teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil
Kosher salt
• Remove steaks from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking time. Dry them with a paper towel.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with a rack set in the middle.
• Heat a heavy, cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, until a few drops of water sprinkled in the hot pan evaporate within 3 seconds.
• Coat the bottom of the pan with 2 teaspoons of grapeseed or canola oil.
• Liberally salt the steaks with kosher salt, about 3/4 teaspoon for each steak.
• Place steaks in pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side, flipping only once with tongs.
• Transfer the steaks, still in the pan, to the oven and roast for roughly 8 to 9 minutes for 11/2-inch steaks to achieve medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer should register between 125 and 130 degrees).
• Let the steaks rest, under a tent of aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before serving.
It's easy and the best thing I've ever had.
I highly recommend you use Prime beef.
