ALL OF THIS TAGGING HAS GOT TO STOP :)
This past weekend was very busy. I spent saturday finishing up paperwork for a December closing as well as continuing my tile project in the bathroom. Sunday was busy also with church. I played in the morning and then visited another church in the afternoon. Music is one of my first loveS, but I will get to that another day. Monday morning when I woke up, I was not feeling well. I could feel the begining of a cold coming on.
Well I checked my Active Rain Account and I saw that I had been tagged by my friend and fellow active Rainer Brenda Tressler. That was cool...then I started thinking...when does all this tagging stop?
I AM STOPPING IT RIGHT NOW
I will comply with Brenda's request, but I won't forward it on. Enough is enough :) (Maybe its just the cold meds talking...lol)
Long story short, I am supposed to pick a book off the shelf, go to page 56 and post a few lines from the 5th sentence on. The book i have chosen is DO YOU by Russel Simmons.
Enjoy.
"I also want to address another issue, which is that in order to truly DO You, especially in the business world, you're going to have to turn down some very attractive opportunites. Every day, its seems like I get pitched a new business venture. But if I dont feel comfortable attaching my name to a product, then I'll leave that money on the table. I wont compromise my name, becasue I know once I do, I'll never be able to get it back"
Have a great day

Leander, I guess I don't have the right contacts. I've never been tagged, but from the sound of it, I'm glad I haven't been.
Thanks for your post. Those things are entertaining, but is it really the best use of our time?
I'll have to check out that book.
I just told a new agent, who's anxious for a first sale, that sometimes you have to turn down business. We're both fans of Russell Simmons, so I'm sure we'll learn something from him.
Thanks.
Leander- I just wanted to stop by and tell you and your family to have a very Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless.
Leander - I hope you feel better soon. I will only do one post per meme. I was reponding to Pat Kenndy's meme when I noticed I was memed a second time so I adjusted my post. There were for tags before I actually posted.
Hey Leander - hope you're feeling better soon. I hate colds...just getting over one myself. Anyway, I hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving my friend! - Jim
Hey Brenda,
No worries. You know that I always speak my mind. You are still in good standing with me :) I am feeling better and back in the saddle again.
Have a great day

I personally like the piece you provided out of the book. It's important not to compromise your name to make a quick buck. Once you go down that road or your name is tied to a 'negative' item, you can't go back. Its too late and your name may be MUD. Looks like page 56 was good for this book.
p.s. Thanks for not passing this on.
This was a strange meme. I've read a few (written one) and really didn't think that I learned much about the author of the post. Some of the books, including this one, have been pretty interesting though.

Had to come by, to read this here post. Seen that our friend Brenda taged ya.
Will from one, mind speaker to another. I'll be a postten my third one of these here post's. Got taged two times in one day, and then the third taggen came about two or three days later. For one I enjoy known folk's think of me as a friend, and do tag me to do these kind of post's. I always feel very honored when I'm taged.
