YIR: Two Thousand Wine

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:42:39 -0800

I called this episode Two Thousand Wine because I feel that we all complain a wee-bit. Sometimes too much. And since I do alright at it I figured we could enjoy our holiday break and complain about other people’s complaints over a glass of wine. Or something like that.

Enough rambling, enjoy.

Thank you.

Being the influence

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:05:37 -0800

Not only are we influenced, but we also influence. Positively and negatively. If you give-in to another, if you are influenced by another, you are influencing them to continue finding ways to have you give-in to them. A vicious circle?
As an individual that influences others what is your responsibility to those you influence?

Think Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Cheers!

Influenced by Those Around

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 00:21:00 -0800

Alex & Alex & Kindra talk with Paige about being influenced by those around you. Positively, negatively, period. It happens whether you know it or not. If you believe one thing try associating with those who believe the opposite and see how you have changed after a few months, more so over the years.

Disorganized

Sun, 8 Nov 2009 21:51:04 -0800

Enjoy this trip into the land of too many people and too much booze. Its a short, hyperactive interaction between Alex & Alex & Kindra & Jaymes & introducing a new guest, Paige, who you can catch up with, more organized, the next two days.

Cheers!
