The Farmer, The Chickens, & The Pigs

Let me apologize for the crap ass content that was littered throughout my blogathon.

Yes I was delirious when I did those videos. Amazing what you think would be funny in your head and when it comes out, it isn't funny at all. The race reaction with females/males would have been a little funny if I was rested so my accents would have been better.

As I've been told,some of you can't get the videos to work, you need the most recent QuickTime Player, and if you want, here are the links to make it even easier.

I did not sleep at all, some of you asked whether I was napping between posts, and while you would assume that I was napping with the poor quality of posts that I was spewing out, I was actually awake the entire time.

I took a picture every hour to try and capture what I looked like during that time, I must have missed 1 hour because I ended up with only 23 pictures. Some of the pictures are cheesy but I can't help it because for the most part, if you put a camera in my face I will smile my famous Clark Gable Smile. Because so many people try taking pictures of me it has become habit to smile whenever I see a camera.

Try this

I will post the total amount of money that the blogathon made as soon as I receive money from those of you who have promised money but just haven't paid yet. I talked to some cool people via instant messenger who read my blog and that was fun chatting with you - if I was incoherent and spouted stuff off like a spaz - I apologize.

Oh, the pee sample thingy never came to realization sadly. I'm assuming Rosita the janitor picked it up with latex gloves and threw it away. Next time I'll have to leave it in a conference room I think. Yes....urine samples in conference rooms happen all the time.





The farmer slowly got up out of bed, walked to the mirror and took a deep sigh. His pale blue eyes stared at his wrinkled sun tethered face. With his farm about to be shut down he felt lost - he felt confused and conflicted and not sure of what he was going to do.

He decided to hold a farm meeting and gather all the animals around to get their ideas on how to save the farm.

Unfortunately due to all the recent bad seasons and the loss of profits that the farm has been taking in, all the animals that were left were the chickens and the pigs. The farmer stood up on a box - "I have some bad news my friends," the farmer said as all the animals gathered around.

"As you know we have lost many friends - the farm is in shambles and we have lost money for the last time. There is nothing left - nothing. I'm at a lost for words and I'm leaving the rest up to you in hopes that you can figure something out and perhaps save the farm. Please, chickens - go to the coops and think of something, and pigs - go to the steins and think of something to save our farm. We all live here, and we'll all suffer the same fate if something isn't done."

So the chickens and the pigs all went off to think up something that they could do to save the farm.

A few hours later the farmer came back and called all the animals out again. All the chickens were there and the chicken leader stepped up and spoke, "Farmer, we the chickens have promised in laying 2 times as many eggs. We have already amassed dozens of eggs to be sold to save the farm. We'll work night and day in laying the eggs at two times our normal pace."

The farmer looked at all the eggs that have already been laid by the chickens, smiled and said, "Thank you chickens, thank you for the promise of laying two times your normal pace."

Only the pig leader showed up to represent the rest of the pigs. Before the farmer could ask where the rest of the pigs were the pig leader spoke up. "Farmer, we the pigs have decided to fully commit ourselves. All of the pigs have gone to the slaughter house. I am on my way there now but stopped by here first to let you know that we are fully committed." And with that, the pig leader turned around and headed to the slaughter house.

Tears filled the farmer's eyes as he silently whispered, "Thank you."


It is what you are afraid of that you should do. You'll only achieve what you are willing to risk. If you risk little, little will be returned. If you risk much, much will be returned. Once you commit you are risking - commitment is risk - the biggest rewards come from the biggest risk.

Risks -

Are you a chicken? Or are you willing to fully commit?

So, it is what you are afraid of that you should do and commit fully to it.

Life in itself is simple, it is only the foolishness of ourselves that make it complicated.
