Some days you just want to give up and stop trying so hard to do the right thing. Too often, I feel like I'm fighting the good fight for a lost cause; whether it's work, hobbies, or personal relationships. I'm a nostalgic guy, and I have always forged forward on the notion that while sticking to my principals and beliefs, I can always try and "do better". That in the end, in certain situations, I know what it takes to get the job done. But sometimes, getting the job done can get a little dirty. Sometimes playing the diplomat doesn't work. Sometimes, you need to pop a little spinach and kick some ass. For me, this has been one of those weeks. Coincidentally, my friend Brett just happened to post this great clip from one of my all-time favorite movies, which unknowingly, fits in perfectly with the kind of bullshit I've had to deal with this week. It reminded me of the one guy who could always take care of the hard business that others couldn't. The guy that's not afraid to roll up his sleeves and fight for the truths that glimmer in his one eye like the sun rising over the open sea. The guy that would always tell you the truth, and do whatever it takes to get the job done. I wish, at the very least, I worked with Popeye. That way, I know I could always have someone to count on to get the job done right the first time. Until they hire him, I guess have to remain being him. The world needs more Popeyes.
