Superiority Complexes

Clean up the language quick. The Holy are coming. Righteously walking through the crowd. With superiority complexes. And smirks. Like the humorless. The gotcha boys and girls. Wrong, but justifying and rationalizing. Until the last flop.

Connect The Nodes

Faces were shining, awake and bright. Respecting organizational protocols. All gathered for the event. Full of breakfast, ready for the keynote. Paper free in 03. Poof, there goes the neighborhood. Then politics and books and professoring. Reinvention, over and over. Jazz music, encouraging, speaking. Busted the cat blues in Zoo York City. Call a board meeting. Ask why, what, when, how, and where. Tell me more. Connect the nodes of your hub. To other nodes and hubs. Exponential possibilities. Note:  Follow-up, and through, is the key. The fig leaf stance must be conquered. Open up and breath in for 4 seconds. Hold it for for 4 seconds. Then a 4 second exhale. 4 times. Expand the conversation. From judging to appreciating. From exclusion to inclusion. From compliance to celebration. And the 7th dimension is celebration. Order some dessert.

Effective Understanding

Too narrow.  Effective Selective Listening.  Effective Understanding.  To listen is to understand and to understand is to love. 1.  Participation.  ×curiosity, tell me more.  ×empathy, their shoes.  ×follow-up, within conversation and after. 2.  Concentration.  ×all in, eye contact.  ×consider, think.  ×distractions, devices/noise. 3.  Other Considerations.  ×understanding in business, blockbuster.  ×various forms of communication, texting.  ×the other senses, visual/intuition. Techniques to effectively listen. Techniques to effectively understand.

Telepathic Robots

All I wanna do is fly. Fly around the world. All I wanna do is cry. Cry out for that girl. I can't hit the brakes. Brakes won't do me no good. Look at all those fakes. Faking out my neighborhood. Some got sweet green eyes. Eyes that make you blind. Some seem much too shy. Too shy to be unkind. Walked her to her car. Parked in the parking lot. Under a million stars. Like telepathic robots.

Actual Factual Conclusions

The age of intellectual liberalism is dead.  Inevitable, I suppose.  The self-designated intelligent, unable to admit wrong, even in the sphere of factual conclusions.  The actual factual conclusions. The story, the deal, the truth.  What occurred, what happened, what went down.  The thinness of the skins. The lameness of the fits. Convinced of their elevation.  A superiority complex.  Pre-modern.  Pre-historic, pretending. Like deniers, delusional and dumb.  Name callers, like the fools did, like the insecure do, like the bitter will.  They will talk to each other, the stupid inspiring more stupidity.  And the righteousness involved is staggering, some probably believe they don't sin. Like, a big sin.  Like, you know.  Like, not a major one.  Not in awhile anyway. The oily still lube about, making it all slick.  Greasing, taking bribes.  Doing favors, turning tricks.  Crying.

Moonshine Light

This boat about to float. Like it does every other night. Take it to the microphone. Under a moonshine light. Metal melting doors on our left. Guess they sound alright. All we hear is screams and grunts. Under the moonshine light. Drummer boy across the way. Always plays real tight. Must be a real weird dude. Under a moonshine night. Joe Vee Zee's next door. Usually got some moonshine. So damn dark in here. Guess we need a moonshine light.

Red Mud Gonzo: Sixteen

"Emerging Like The Dawn" by jpg One 20, one 22.  Both emerging like the dawn, both assaulting the rankings, both willing to sacrifice.  There are no millions for them.  Just yet.  Like Vantaggio, not looking to fit in, but to transcend.  The future will be better than the past, as always.  Retro is nostalgia at its finest, but it's still just nostalgia.  Christian Ruud, a known bandana brother from the past, now watches his son, Casper, get deuce juiced at 2-3 in first set.  Garin is nails.  The hat effed him up in the 2nd set.  He needs a bandana and wristbands, seriously.  Ruud seems to have a bit more game, but we've seen Ga--Reeen dig. "3 Sets" by peoplesDuke We going 3 sets!!! "Strong Mover" by AJ Second set looked like a Ruud awakening.  Congrats to Christian Garín for strong minded third set.  Strong mover.  Glad you guys went.  Wish I could have made it.  Next year! "Champagne...

Red Mud Gonzo: Fifteen

"More About Confidence" by CB Tradeshows - SAP, IBM, ORACLE.  It's just a conference and more about confidence than competence.  Just another trade show.  Not everyone goes.  Don't matter if its San Antonio or Orlando, it's just another trade show. "Un Bandana Frère" by AJ Un Bandana Frère extraodinaire. Allez Jo! "Cedric Pioline" by TTop Just found out that was Cedric Pioline on court with Chardy practising...with that big dude bombing backhand return of serve winners off that beautiful Chardy serve "Hooks, Musically And Lyrically" by jpg Put the chords on runway girl.  Hooks, musically and lyrically.  Will record soon.  Surprised my game was so strong during the Houston electric power hour.  Damn, I really smashed Joe!  2-0.  However, it was made clear it did not count towards our Insner Match tally before we started the 2 out of 3.  Think I'm up on that ....a few games.  Joe?   First to 70....

Red Mud Gonzo: Fourteen

"The Bandana Brothers" by jpg Known tennis street gang, the Bandana Brothers, marked their Houston territory.  Garin is a badass.  We should invite him into our network.  We like his ethic.  His care.  His big point potential.  And, he needs a bandana.  He now goes no headwear.  His head is open for the Vantaggio rainbow bandana...seriously.   On to El Rey. "Badassery" by AJ A lot of Badassery comin through that sweet Houston neighborhood. "Big Sam" by jpg Drop shot day, this clay surface is slow..  The rain muddied the day, but not before El Rey.  Where the tacos automatically come double tort.  Culture merchandisers, they know what's up.  Some feist is what is needed.  And all the tricks of self defense.  Mechanisms of protection, they will keep everything alright.  Yes, move them side to side, but forward and back too.  The third dimension is lobs and loops and kicks, take the ...

Red Mud Gonzo: Thirteen

"Wasteoid" by jpg Harrison has no lateral movement anymore.  Tough to watch the diminishing.  We are all familiar.  Tomic should consider getting really drunk.  He's a wasteoid.  White pants are everywhere!  The garden has been expanded and elevated.  Brownwyn is a tremendous leader.  Incremental improvement over time.  Kaizen is still relevant.   Wednesday is for the gals at River Oaks. "Alfa Romeo" by AJ I want to be a part of this Vantaggio five year plan!  I wish I had my old Alfa Romeo for Vantaggio business.  Had this 1987 Alfa through my twenties in the 1990s! "He van de Velde" by jpg Chardy had 5 match points.  The 4th longest match in tournament history.  The Chilean took it in the 3rd. Tiebreak. Garin is green, but he's coming on.  Best victory of his young career.  The Frenchman choked.  He vandeVelde.  We dropped to the bottom seats.  They wern't being used...

Red Mud Gonzo: Twelve

"Regular Time" by peoplesDuke Shoot. Alarm was set for regular time. Be there in 30 mins. Sorry.  Gonna be hot, hot in Houston. Just bringing shorts & tennis shirts. 86, 87 degrees each day. "Dawn Neon" by jpg Nick Bollitieri is almost 88 and still has 20/20 vision.  No contacts, no glasses, no surgery.  Incredible.  This Dallas HOV life is a rush.  Flying south through the great Central Expressway.  Allen, Plano, into Dallas proper.  The dawn neon of downtown.  Cranes!  Just flying through.  Red mud sun about to rise. "Opposite Commute" by AJ Just drove, opposite commute, similar views. Beautiful morning. "Astonished" by jpg ...just heard the Vantaggio five year plan.  Astonished.  It will be made so... "Vantaggio Road Trip"  by TTop Mr Red Mud Rising....Mr RedMud Rising.  Sun to the left, Ennis to the right...here we come, right down to Houston again. Vantaggio Road Trip!...

Don't Remember Yesterday

All night long covered my eyes.  All day long tell my lies.  All my life been flying blind, I ain't ready to die. Got sand between my toes, walked the beaches of Mexico, might be moving slow, might be writing notes. Found my way. Had my say. Don't remember yesterday. This day on is all there is, live like I'll never see you again.  Love is just like a best friend, won't leave you at the end. Forget the agression, get on with the resting, try to be more trusting, please quit all your fussing. ACx3 G DF FCx6

On The Road To Paradise

ggdg ddgc ccdc gdcg This walking is harder than it used to be. Balance ain't easy with these two old knees. Shoulders hurt and ya know bout my feet. When you grow up you'll be just like me. Met at a Mexican place down the road. Tried to cancel then we called on the phone. Shopped and shopped then they went home. Would've made the time later if we'd known. Some relaxation is all we got planned. Have some wine and tell us bout the fam. Politics too even though it's a sham. Play a few songs that I play with my band. Living like gypsyies on the road to paradise. See all the way back on most of their lives. They grow up fast and, my how time flies. There's no going back, no making it right. Think I'll drive up to Wisconson this year. Through StLouis where they make Bud beer. Chicago too it's on the way and kinda near. If I wait any longer and he won't be here. But that's just the way things go, you know. Everybody chose...
