To Be Continued

For the most part, I'm usually one step ahead of possible topics for a potential yodaism that may or may not be in the works. It really depends on the subject matter at hand and whether or not it can keep me interested to tackle it head on. Believe me there have been times where I've been in the middle of a possible yodaism and just completely scrapped it due to lack of inspiration or it didn't make any sense at all. Oftentimes the inspiration can come in an instant and other times it doesn't come for days, but the question can be asked what/who keeps me motivated/inspired to keep doing what I do. In a sense, it has been fun in an intellectual sense in opening my mind, as well as yours, which I do apologize for ahead of time.

One of the sources of inspiration is experiencing life as it happens and each one of us have a front row seat to it. In some aspect, we all go through the same crap on a semi-daily basis, though the situation may be different, it's crap nonetheless. Such crap that I'm referring to are relationship problems with either your family and your potential or significant other, your job, money, whatever the case may be. You are not alone in this department because life does sometimes stink and it can make your day, in a way, to know that other people are going through what you are going through as well. It's a unifying commonality that bonds every human being on the planet and it never seems to end for some of us.

Believe it or not, all things entertainment such as music, movies and/or television can give that much needed inspiration to get me motivated to write something that can either tickle the funny bone, make you think, or make you shed a tear or two. It's really an unknown what effect it will have until someone emails me telling me he or she really needed to read that due to something one was going through at that particular time. Initially, all it takes is simple words, lines, or quotes and the proverbial gears in my ole noggin start to turn. Let me ask you this question, what song, movie, or television show is your absolute favorite and do you have a particular line or quote that sticks with you, which keeps you, as a fan, listening for more.

Without a doubt, my job is considered to be one of the best sources of inspiration due to the fact you can always count on kids to give you great material. As I said before, I'm usually one step ahead of possible topics and what I will probably be working on after this, unless another topic peaks my interest, is one that is entitled "Just Bring It." It's primarily about seeing and experiencing the violent tendencies kids have, which can be humorous at times depending on the particular child. Anyways, it's those bundles of joy(said with a sarcastic tone) that makes my job interesting each day because quite frankly you never know what "my kids" will say or do when working in the insane asylum where madness runs 24/7.

In retrospect, I never really know if this will be the last Yodaism or not but what keeps me motivated are the responses I get every now and then which I really appreciate. Hopefully you've enjoyed the misspelled and oftentimes confusing rantings of a guy that really needs to have his head examined after working with kids for 9 years now. In any case, I've often wondered if you guys are thinking if I should quit sending them to you OR what possible topic have I come with this time and will you like it? In some aspect, every Yodaism is somewhat like a cliffhanger in which you basically ask yourself will there be another one coming? In the end, its when you read the last words of every Yodaism there are three additional words that you never actually see and read which are...To Be Continued.
