Do the Right Thing?

I don’t want to go into details but here’s the deal.

I have something to do tomorrow and I don’t want to do it. Originally, the plan was for my wife and I to do it together. It involves driving for an hour and a half, doing something that may not take a lot of time, and then driving home for an hour and a half. As of now though, my beloved bride needs to work tomorrow so if this happens it will be me doing it alone.

So there are two options. One, I do the right thing and I go and do this task. Two, I don’t do it and I stay home and run errands for my wife and just be here with her, which is absolutely what I want to do.

Frustrated sigh… If I do this then it will help someone out and if I believed in karma (which I absolutely do not) then it would be a good thing for everyone, karmically speaking (is karmically a word?). I just selfishly do not want to do it because it is going to take up the entire afternoon and most of the evening and I really just want to spend time with my wife.

I am probably going to do it. Like I said, it’s the right thing. The other person involved has already done a similar thing for me. It’s only right and proper for me to do the same in return. I just don’t want to spend three hours in the car round trip.

Ugh… I didn’t expect this post to feel so negative. I really just thought it would be an unemotional stating of the two sides of the coin and instead I feel like this reads like I am pissed off and defeated by the situation. It’s not that big a deal. For me, it’s not that big a deal. For the other folks involved it is, but me being involved is a microscopic piece of it. Ugh… I don’t know what I am saying anymore. I’ll shut up now.

On the upside, the Boston Bruins appear to be putting an end to their 10 game losing streak by beating the shit out of the Whalers tonight. Too bad it’s WAY too late to have any meaning. Ugh. The Red Sox got rained out today so they are going to play a double header tomorrow. Maybe things will go well and we’ll get to spank St Louis twice in one Sunday. That’d be nice.

“But this isn’t about doing the right thing or being good. This is about revenge and nothing else. And a little entertainment too. It’s not intended to be anything beautiful.”

#PSA
You can support a cause with any means you like.

Don't let people tell you that you have to do a specific thing to be #valid

A lot of people get off on telling others they're not doing enough. "You're not #activist enough" because you are not living the ascetic life they claim to (which they don't, actually).

It's sad and disgusting but don't let them get to you. They're miserable lifeforms and don't deserve your attention.

You can be #imperfect and still do #therightthing.

So, trying to figure out levels of #rewards for #patrons. Seems like it's silly to set a $1 reward, although, I see small patrons are being more important in a way than large patrons.

Small patrons do it only because it's #TheRightThing, whereas larger patrons might expect creative control of sorts.

So my projects, creative control lies with the #stakeholders and #community members, not with the patrons.

Maybe change it to $5 for the "ground level" patron reward?
