Hit the Reset Button

Discoveries:

Today I realized that sometimes you need to hit the reset button. As a child I was privileged enough to own a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). One of my favorite games on the NES system was Super Mario Brothers. Although it was fun, some of the levels in the game were extremely challenging. I used to get so frustrated playing that game that sometimes I press the rest button to start over. In life, we deal with challenging scenarios all the time. While life is not a video game, we do have the ability to hit the reset button on it. It is never too late to start over, especially when your circumstances warrant it. Don’t let the game of life get to you, hit the reset button.

Top 5 Reasons to hit the reset button:
1.      You’re depressed
2.      You can’t stand your job
3.      You feel like something’s missing
4.      You’ve put off everything you love to do
5.      You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired

High Points:
My wife and I have decided to remodel our home. We are starting with our game room. In Texas many homes have a huge space on their second level called a GAME ROOM. It usually has a huge picture window, lots of square footage and high ceilings. It is the perfect canvass to show off your design expertise. Over the last year, we have cataloged ideas, cut magazine clippings and took mental snapshots of design schemes that we thought would work for our home. Now we are ready to get started. While I won’t share the specific details of our plans with you, I will share the color pallet; BROWN, BLUE and SILVER!!!

Low Points:
I can’t seem to find a good razor that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Bald guys need an answer to this dilemma. Perhaps I am a bit frugal but feel that ten bucks is just too much to pay for a disposable razor. Grant it, I can go online and find a coupon to reduce the price but that takes too much work. Nowadays finding a manufacturer’s coupon online is like programming C++.  The alternative is going the cheap route and buying those single blade economy brands but get ready to bleed. Because of my debacle, I went online and found a few great razors that are reasonably priced. Leggo!

DAILY INSANITY:
Six Words: When should men smile in photographs?
What are the rules (for men) when it comes to taking pictures. I know this sounds silly but should a man smile or not when someone asks to take his picture. I am clueless. I take pictures both ways depending on the situation but I want know what people think about this one.


Question

Men should smile all the time, except driver's license photos.
Recently, I heard a man being interviewed about razors. The expert suggested re-using the razor and he gave tips on keeping it fresh. I will have to look up his name and information for you.
