How YOU doin'?

When someone asks, 'How you doin'?' As a NY'er you answer with, 'How YOU doin'?' And move on. It's a greeting that means Hey. Hello. Hi there. It doesn't imply you are expecting an answer about how you are doing.

Well, my answer is, 'do you really want to know?' If there is one time in my life where I am ready to break the mold, this is it, because we are, some of us more than others, in free fall, cut loose, no mold. What an opportunity. An opportunity to break away from what we perceive as normal. Normal is imposed anyway, so no big deal. BTW, I consider myself very normal. Some may question that. I'm working on more people questioning that! Mostly me.

You can probably credit Breanna as much as anyone for bringing me to this precipice. And of course all those that have helped lead me towards myself.

So, just to let you know, I want to fly from this precipice, not topple in.

So... How YOU doin'? will become, how are you doing? HOW ARE YOU? What are you up to? How are you managing in the physical, mental, emotional world we share AND what keeps you moving the direction you want, with the bumps, bruises, barriers, pot holes, the love, support, encouragement and example of the people in your life that help you find your way?

How am I? I am great. I am angry. I am too many things to list in this intro.

I'd like to propose a conversation with the jump off point being...

How YOU doin'? Whatcha doin'?

I personally hope that we can mix it up here. No matter your political, geographic, ethnicity, age, marital, economic, kids, no kids, education and, or boots on the ground 'status'.

Let's come up with ground rules and we'll merge them into an agreement.

I'll start...

All views are acceptable, personal attack are NOT acceptable

Back up opinions, with personal experience & action

Support one another, and our business's

If you can't afford to shop, refer. Barter can work, sharing too

Support our own 'currency', especially currency that enrolls rather than isolates!

Peace out homies!
